After the order from the primary priest was disseminated, the armed and mercenary groups from the western martial arts world, Middle Asia, Middle East, and the rest of the world were all intrigued.
The order stated that anyone who could stop and kill the easterner named Austin Lin would obtain a generous reward of five billion dollars.
The news spread like wildfire in the underground world.
A grand sum of five billion dollars—
this bounty was extremely enormous and attractive.
Even if the task was almost impossible, with the extravagance of the reward, there would always be people who would be willing to take the risk.
As a result, even the weaker armed and mercenary groups began to take action, only focusing on the prize that they could acquire.
Austin's route and location were made public by the Novel Court. All relevant information about him was also released and could be checked through secret websites in the underground world.
With this, Austin became a top-class moving target of the armed forces.
Countless armed men, mercenary groups, even anti-government factions, terrorists, and all kinds of forces were tracking Austin down.
They prepared all kinds of weapons to deal with him—advanced artilleries, bazookas, armored vehicles, and other destructive weapons.
There were about hundreds of thousands of armed men who readied and waited for the opportunity to kill Austin.
The reward of five billion dollars was just one of the means used by the Novel Court to try on killing Austin off.
They had also manipulated other methods to invite the most powerful cultivators from the western martial arts world.
In an ancient castle, a secret dwelling could be found.
Inside the spacious basement of the castle, more than a dozen of thick red candles were brightly burning, giving a surreal and gloomy atmosphere.
At the center of the basement was a dark red coffin made of luxurious woodwork.
"My lord, on behalf of the primary priest of the Novel Court, I have come to request you to intercept a certain heretic from the east. This man's name is Austin Lin."
A holy knight knelt in utmost respect in front of the coffin.
"Humph! What are those masters in your Novel Court doing? Why would you even ask for my help?"
a cold voice responded from inside the coffin.
"Please allow me to explain, my lord.
There were so many people in our Novel Court that were already killed by this evil heretic—including a huge number of ancient holy knights that existed since the Middle Ages. We have suffered great losses in terms of manpower and resources.
Our divine leader and several other god's emissaries are also currently in secluded cultivation, unable to take action.
That's why our primary priest sent me here to request your aid.
Please accept these ancient blood essence as a gift from our primary priest.
If the task was successfully finished, our primary priest would offer another batch of blood essence,"
the holy knight said as he took out a sealed wooden box and put it on the ground in front of the coffin.
Boom!
The lid of the dark red coffin was suddenly pushed away. A pale palm with long fingernails stretched out in a blink of an eye. It picked up the wooden box on the ground and immediately withdrew into the coffin.
"First-class blood essence!
All right, I shall act upon your request,"
answered the being from the coffin.
At the same time on another mystic location, a holy knight appeared in the wilderness and knelt before a vicious being under the moonlight.
"Sir, the primary priest of our Novel Court wants you to deal with a heretic from the east. Please accept this gift as a preliminary reward for your services."
The holy knight took out a shabby parchment scroll and handed it to the werewolf who was howling to the sky and absorbing the moonlight essence in the dead of night.
"This is the body refining secret skill of the ancient werewolves!
Wait, this is only half of it! Where is the other part? Why is it missing?"
The werewolf instantly grabbed the scroll and his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Sir, the ancient scroll was accidentally obtained by the primary priest at a certain auction. Even he has no idea where the other half is,"
the holy knight respectfully explained.
