As the chief of the Immortal End World, Austin could look into any corner of it with his spiritual sense. There was no need for him to be physically present at a place.
It was due to this ability that Austin wasn't in a rush to catch the four escaping killers.
Instead, he floated by in the sky quietly, sensing their escape route and location with the help of his spiritual sense.
He had to admit that the four killers of the Slaughtering Sect were very cunning and cautious. For more than ten days after they escaped, they ran individually, constantly changing their direction and taking complex paths to confuse Austin.
Eventually, two of them returned exactly where they had intercepted Austin. They hid there for two days before secretly trying to leave again.
All four of them were extremely skilled and careful. None of their movements were unplanned.
They even used the teleportation array to teleport themselves across the terrain millions of miles away instantaneously.
Even if the master of Immortal King Realm came to chase them, he would be unable to track these four killers.
Fortunately for Austin, his powers were enough to keep track of the killers. He was reading their movements closely, just waiting for an opportunity to catch them off guard.
The four killers were aware that Austin might keep a close eye on them, hence they deliberately made their routes complex to divert his attention.
In the days that followed, Austin sat cross-legged in the sky right above the Immortal End Continent, feeling their movement with his eyes closed and attention focused as he invoked his spiritual sense.
Half a month after they first started running, the four killers sneaked into what could only be described as strongholds. At first Austin thought they would appear again, but it seemed like they intended to hide there.
What made him furious was they had four clans within the borders of the Immortal End World as their strongholds.
In fact, each of the four clans held power equivalent to a holy land or a prominent clan of the East Mainland of the Divine Continent. The most powerful cultivators among them were no more than a premium stage cultivator of Heavenly Grotto Realm.
That was to say, these four clans had a moderate level of strength and were seldom noticed. No one could have expected they were actually four strongholds of the Slaughtering Sect.
If Austin hadn't traced them, the truth would forever have remained hidden.
Austin was surprised to discover the strongholds. "How interesting..."
he murmured to himself as he squinted down at them.
However, Austin decided not to take any action at the moment.
What he wanted to find out now was the location of Slaughtering Sect's headquarters.
That was where he believed these killers would wind up once they left the strongholds.
One among the four was at the Immortal Realm, while others were at the Immortal Transforming Realm.
They were all powerful cultivators. Austin guessed they all belonged to the elites of the Slaughtering Sect.
It was only a matter of time till they went back to the headquarters.
All Austin needed to do was patiently wait for them to move again and they would lead him to the headquarters themselves.
During the time when Austin waited for their next move, he sent Caroline, Violet and the gnome back to the Immortal End School and told them to concentrate on their cultivation.
After that, Austin came back. He crossed his legs and began to cultivate, floating in the deep blue sky of the Immortal End Continent. He continued to direct his spiritual sense on all the killers at once.
Days passed, then weeks. It took great strength to focus on the killers for such a long time. After a month, one of the killers finally exited the stronghold discreetly, creeping down from the cliff carefully.
Austin was overjoyed. All this time, he had constantly focused his spiritual sense to monitor his trace closely.
A few days later, the killer sneaked to the edge of the Immortal End Continent, which was a deserted area.
It used to be a small world known as Sky Moon World, and was one of the thirty-six small worlds of the Immortal End World.
Once the killer reached there, he disappeared deep into the boundless jungle that covered the entirety of its land.
'Looks like the headquarters of the Slaughtering Sect is in the small world.
I could never have thought that! This is indeed a secret well kept.
These killers are so sharp; no one could track the headquarters even though it has been a part of the Immortal End World for so many years!' Austin thought to himself
High up in the sky, Austin hid behind a cloud, tracing the trail of the killer closely with his spiritual sense.
Austin knew that the reason why he could track the killer's escape trace and finally find the headquarters of the Slaughtering Sect was that he was the chief of the Immortal End World and he could sense every corner of the Immortal End World.
Otherwise, even masters of Immortal King Realm didn't have the power to do that.
