The Triangle Zone was well known to the South Continent of the Prime Martial World due to its chaos. It would be no exaggeration to say that it was one of the most chaotic regions in the entire continent.
It was not under the jurisdiction of any holy kingdom or empire. Legend said that the Triangle Zone used to be a territory of an ancient sect a long time ago.
That ancient sect was said to be extremely powerful. It was rumored to have dominated the whole Prime Martial World.
However, something unexpected had happened. For some unknown reasons, the strong sect was mysteriously destroyed overnight, leaving no survivors. No one knew the real reason behind its sudden disappearance, and maybe no one ever would.
Since then, no one ruled the Triangle Zone and it was thrown into complete chaos, making it the most chaotic area in the South Continent.
Countless desperadoes from all over the world flooded into this area to escape the trials in their places. As a result, the law of the jungle, the most uncivilized and barbarous way, dominated the entire region.
No other rules or restrictions existed in the Triangle Zone except for the law of the jungle. It turned into a dog-eat-dog world.
In other words, it was a world where the weak were nothing but food while the strong ate them.
In a world where the absolute strength had dominated everything else, the weak had no power over anything, not even their own lives.
In other areas of the South Continent, there were empires, royal families, and organizations who maintained order and resolved disputes in both fair and unfair ways.
However, it did not apply to the Triangle Zone where various forces gathered and fought against one another to gain more benefits such as land, women, and resources. They kept battling and battling. The killing was endless. As long as one could show his strength, he could do whatever he wanted even if they were evil and unjust. In fact, none of them saw this kind of behavior to be inappropriate.
In essence, the Triangle Zone was home to a group of evil and ferocious people. It was their paradise.
"What? Are you planning on going to the Triangle Zone, master?"
Tyson asked to confirm. He was both surprised and pleased to hear Austin's decision.
He used to be a member of the Triangle Zone. Now it had been about one hundred years since he last set foot on that place. No wonder he was glad to hear Austin claim that he was going to head there. Tyson was eager to return there. It was his home to some extent.
"Yes. I've made up my mind.
Hey, everybody. Please take a good long rest here in the city and refresh yourselves. I'll let you know when we're about to take off," Austin exclaimed with a determined look.
Later, he thought for a few moments as he rubbed his hand on his chin. Then he took out some cultivation resources and handed them to the guys-- his new servants.
Austin was not a penny pincher. He deduced that they must have been close to running out of cultivation resources given that they had been trapped in the city for quite a long time.
Now that they were his servants, it meant that they were his men. He did not want them to be useless. It would be very good for him if he had an army that could also show their strength. So he decided to refuel them by giving them more resources. Although he would lose a portion of his resources, it would also benefit him in the long run.
Those people couldn't help but get excited when they saw Austin take out so many precious elixirs and pills and distribute them to them. Their eyes lit up all at once as smiles cracked on their lips.
Now, they were beginning to think that it wouldn't be so difficult to get along with their new master, given the fact that he was kind enough to provide them with new resources.
Once Austin was done distributing the resources, he told them, "Take them and gather some strength. I'll come back later."
He then turned around and teleported himself to the place where Violet and the gnome were staying.
By the time he arrived at his destination, Violet was already done with her cultivation. She seemed to have completely enhanced her power at the new stage that she reached recently.
As for the gnome, he took the Magic Sea Water and was still meditating in seclusion.
Austin told Violet about what he just did before coming to them.
"You mean to say you have made more than thirty people your new servants by using some secret skill? You have their spiritual orbs so you can now control them? Honestly, I didn't see that coming at all!"
Violet repeated with a surprised voice.
"Yes, that's exactly what I just did.
Look, Violet. I'm thinking about building up my own force once the time is appropriate. And this just might be my opportunity to start.
If I ever get trapped in some tricky situation where I would have to face some vicious enemies, being alone would be a big disadvantage. I prefer to have my own force to back me up,"
explained Austin.
"Yes, I agree! You should,"
Violet replied with a nod.
"So, are you really heading for the Triangle Zone, master?"
she then asked with her eyes locked on him.
"Yes. I've made up my mind. I'll get myself prepared for the coming days. It would be better if I could refine that ancient sword successfully. I'm thinking that mastering an archaic weapon would greatly increase my combat power,"
Austin replied with expectant eyes.
"Yes, sure. Please refine it! I'm looking forward to seeing you with your improved strength," Violet exclaimed in excitement.
Austin spent the next two days recovering his strength. Now, all the spiritual sense he had exerted in order to refine the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot had also been regained successfully.
"Whoopee! This is great!" exclaimed Austin in joy when he opened his eyes from his meditation. He felt a lot more energetic and refreshed. "So, I should begin refining the ancient sword now!"
The next day, he caged himself in the room to focus on refining the ancient sword.
What surprised Austin was that it was much more difficult to refine this ancient sword compared with the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot.
During the process of refinement, strands of powerful sword aura appeared from the sword. They did not seem harmful.
However, every time Austin would release his spiritual sense to try and drive it into the sword, intending to make his spiritual sign on it, the sword aura would cut his spiritual sense into pieces and they would end up fading away.
