"Don't be silly. We will not forever be apart. When we come to the Middle Pilgrim Land, we will have a lot of chances to see each other," Austin comforted her.
He wiped her tears with his finger.
"This is just temporary. This won't last very long. Sooner or later, we will be together again and will never be apart. Do you understand?"
Austin also felt heavy in his heart but didn't have a choice.
To his relief, Caroline finally nodded and turned away.
When Caroline left, the Peacock Princess also came to Austin.
She too, wanted to say goodbye.
"Austin, I'll have to leave too. But remember, come and see me often when you arrive in the Middle Pilgrim Land."
"Alright." Austin nodded.
"I promise, I will see you there."
"I'll look forward to that," said the Peacock Princess before she turned around to leave.
Shortly, all the new students of the Rose Finch School jumped onto the warship.
Elder Allen then pushed the warship and they vanished in a flash.
Afterwards, the elder from the White Tiger School prepared another warship and let the new students of the White Tiger School board.
Bray, Zoe, Rahul and the other young cultivators all went to Austin to say goodbye too. Then they jumped on the flying ship of the White Tiger School.
"Austin, I am also a member of the White Tiger School. If you have time in the future, please see me as well."
A beautiful woman was waving at Austin not far away.
She was Belle Xiao.
"Okay."
Austin nodded with a smile.
The flying boat of the White Tiger School turned into a flash of lightning and rushed away.
"They are all gone," murmured Austin.
He couldn't help but sigh emotionally.
"Ha ha! The new students of our Blue Dragon School don't have to rush to the Middle Pilgrim Land like them. I have something to deal with in the East Mainland first. We can then start off after that."
The elder in grey made an announcement to the new students of the Blue Dragon School.
I will give you five days to go back to your home first. In that case, you can have the chance to say goodbye to your family members, relatives, and friends. We will gather here in the Mighty Mountains again after five days. Then we will head for the Middle Pilgrim Land," he added.
He waved his hand to dismiss all of them.
"All right. You can leave now. Just remember, come back here after five days."
Instantly, all the new students of the Blue Dragon School cheered.
"That's great!"
Who wouldn't be delighted?
They were given five days to go back to their families. It was good enough to say goodbye to all of their family members and friends. Of course, they would be very happy.
They all flew into the sky and headed for different directions going back to their homes.
After everyone had left, the elder in grey waved his hand to put away the square that was floating in the sky.
Then he vanished into thin air.
Everyone went back to their own sects and clans. The Mighty Mountains became desolate in an instant.
Silence now engulfed the whole mountain range.
This only meant that the recruitment activity in the East Mainland which affected the entire Eastern Mainland was finally over.
Meanwhile, Austin followed Elder Brendan back to the Flame Holy Land.
On their way, Austin told Elder Brendan about his experience with Caroline. He told him that they were almost assassinated by the killers of the Slaughtering Sect.
"Humph! It must be the three holy lands and the three major sects who told them to do that!" said Elder Brendan.
His eyes became cold and murderous.
"I think so, too. The three holy lands, the three noble clans, the Cyan Sect, the Kirin Sect, and even the several ancient sects in the Middle Pilgrim Land are likely to do such a thing."
Austin nodded in agreement.
"You must be careful in the future. The killers of the Slaughtering Sect never stop until they finish their missions since they have already accepted the fee," advised Elder Brendan.
Elder Brendan was a little worried about Austin.
"I am actually surprised that the killers who came to kill you were at the Heavenly Grotto Realm. It only means that the one who hired them is very eager to kill you. They are willing to spend a lot of money for your life."
Elder Brendan had a point. Hiring a killer at the Heavenly Grotto Realm of the Slaughtering Sect definitely needed a hefty amount of money.
Since those people hired this kind of killers, it only meant that they wanted to make sure Austin would be dead.
However, Austin didn't feel scared at all.
