It was the emperor who had come to the Blood Wolf Ancestor's rescue. He was the one who had put out the fire on the poor man. To be frank, even he was astonished at the result. Staring at Austin in surprise, he spoke on the Blood Wolf Ancestor's behalf, "You're really an amazing young man, Austin. You managed to even defeat this guy. That's very impressive indeed.
However, today is a big day. Can you let him go for my sake?"
Upon watching the emperor make the flames vanish in a second, Austin was in awe of him now. 'He is at the premium stage of Sky Realm. Of course his battle force is overwhelming.
The flames I hit the Ancestor were a combination of the power of Scorching Evil Fire and the golden vital energy from my body. They were supposed to be formidable and impossible to put out. I know that cultivators who haven't reached the Mysterious Realm can't make them disappear. Even a cultivator of the Sky Realm can't get rid of them immediately.
But the emperor put them out with only a flick of his wrist. It means that he is really powerful and I can't knock him down with my sword of vital energy, ' he mused.
"Your Highness, since you are ordering me to do so, I will surely let him go.
However, if he keeps bugging me, I'll not spare his life and I hope you will not hold me responsible for that."
Austin responded casually.
To be frank, he hadn't found much delight in defeating the Blood Wolf Ancestor. After all, he had reached the medium stage of Sky Realm, while his opponent had only been at the premium stage of the Mysterious Realm. If he couldn't have taken him in the fight, he would have been ashamed of himself.
"He will not bother you, I believe," the emperor replied with a slight smile.
At this point, the Blood Wolf Ancestor's face was pale and bloodless. And as for his right arm, only some charred, black bones could be seen. He looked more like a pathetic old man than a strong cultivator.
He couldn't pose a threat to Austin in this condition. In fact, he was in no condition to fight anyone now. Besides, he had learnt about the young man's strength and was in awe of him now. He was aware that he wasn't worthy of being Austin's opponent.
Wilson also knew about Austin's real strength from his encounter with the latter in the Mysterious Nether World. He knew that he couldn't hurt Austin even if he used his wolf wood carving.
After all, it hadn't taken much of Austin's strength to kill nine cultivators of the Sky Realm.
There was a wolf ancestor inside the wolf wood carving, which was considered a sacred treasure of the Blood Wolf Team. The wolf's strength was equal to a ninth-grade demonic beast which was as strong as a cultivator at the premium stage of Sky Realm.
Among the nine cultivators of the Sky Realm who had been taken out by Austin, three had reached the premium stage.
Afraid that the Blood Wolf Ancestor might not give up and continue to fight Austin, Wilson whispered in his ears, filling him in on the fight between Austin and the nine cultivators at the Sky Realm.
Upon hearing the story, the Blood Wolf Ancestor narrowed his eyes with a frown. He gave Austin an angry stare, but did not dare to fight on. Instead, he led his men to the entrance without looking back.
Austin watched coldly behind them as the Blood Wolf Team members took leave. 'I'm sure they will not cause any more troubles for me unless they are totally confident that they can take my life, ' he thought.
Leo, Caden and Garret had already reported how Austin had brought down the nine cultivators of Sky Realm in the Mysterious Nether World to their sect leaders. The news had spread fast.
The leaders of the Peripatetic Sect, the Flaming Sun Valley, and the Bloody Hero Gang had started to fear Austin after seeing him almost slay the Blood Wolf Ancestor in a single move. After all, the three were only very slightly stronger than the old man. But considering that Austin had nearly struck down the Blood Wolf Ancestor, they might hold on for a bit longer, but surely would not be able to defeat him either if they fought against him in single battle.
Having been informed that Austin had murdered nine masters of the Sky Realm, the three sect leaders looked at Austin with even more trepidation in their eyes.
Overwhelmed by fury, they had initially planned to take Austin down. But now, they had regained their composure, and sunk into their own thoughts.
They were still eager to end Austin's life, but they resisted that urge at the thought of his horribly strong power.
They didn't want to end up like the Blood Wolf Ancestor. It would only make them the laughing stock of the Violet Orchid Empire and their reputations would be ruined.
Eyes sparkling with anger, the three sect leaders wavered and didn't know what to do. After weighing all the pros and cons, they made a wise decision.
