Finally making up his mind, Austin glanced coldly at the outer disciples, as if he was indifferent towards
them and threatened," Now, I am being kind enough to grant you more than a few minutes to clean this
place up. If you fail to do so, none of you are going to leave here alive!"
It was a very strange and surprising threat, even for the guy who was lying on the ground with his arm
cut off.
"Austin, you know very well that this is Sun Sect and we are outer disciples. If you kill us or if you try to
harm us, the sect will know about it very soon," one of the outer disciples reminded Austin very
cautiously, trying to keep his voice as friendly as possible. He was afraid that his reminder could be
mistaken as a threat. Since where they were negotiating came under the territory of Sun Sect, it was
obvious that the sect leaders wouldn't let go of Austin if they ever found out that he had killed their
disciples.
Annoyed by the disciple's stupid reminder, Austin summoned the Twin Shadow Blades and then two
gleams, one black and the other one dark red darted past the disciple's ears.
Feeling a slight coldness on either side of his face and then a sharp pain too, the disciple quickly
touched his ears, but his hands only found a pool of blood. He was horrified to find that his ears had
disappeared!
"You …"
He was so terrified and shocked that he didn't know what to say.
"Don't test my patience! Since you know that the sect will punish those guys who kill or hurt its
disciples, why didn't you think of that when you put Evan in trouble and occupied my courtyard? I'm not
a very patient person. Either you clean up the yard, or you die miserably!"
Austin replied in a cold and determined tone.
The outer disciples were too afraid to delay any longer. They immediately scurried around looking for
the tools and began to clean up the messy yard.
Austin stood near the gate, looking at them aggressively.
The outer disciple who was lying on the ground had applied some healing medicine on his wounds and
the bleeding had stopped now.
He peeped at Austin from the corner of his eyes, and then immediately got up from the ground. Austin
was looking murderously at him and he didn't want to die. He joined the group in cleaning the yard,
enduring and ignoring the pain of his wounds.
Since the four disciples were all martial arts cultivators, they moved swiftly and within a very short
interval of time, the yard was cleaned.
And even if they weren't cultivators, with Austin standing beside them with a horrible expression on his
face, they were forced to speed up as much as possible. He was like a propellant in their work.
"Austin, look! We cleaned up your yard. Could you please let us go now?"
"Dream on! It's not settled yet! Now you guys are going to lead the way and take me to Marvin's
residence."
The disciples were initially hesitant on hearing his command
but a pleased expression brightened up their faces when they thought it over.
'We are no match for Austin, but Marvin ranks fifth among the outer disciples, which means if they fight,
Austin will most probably not win.
If Marvin were here, we wouldn't have suffered this humiliation today!
Hump! You bastard, you will have to pay double the price when we arrive at Marvin's residence!' they
cheered up and thought.
With that idea guiding them, their pace in taking Austin to Marvin's house was even faster than when
they had been cleaning the yard.
Along the way, several other disciples saw the procession and they could tell that something was
wrong.
Each one of them had overheard the news that Marvin had sent someone to drive Evan out from the
apartment Austin had rented and it had been taken over in Austin's absence.
So when they saw Austin show up, they knew that there was going to be a fierce fight between Marvin
and him.
More and more disciples started following them, ready to watch the coming duel.
The news about Austin's arrival
quickly spread like wildfire and before long, a remarkably large group of disciples had formed and was
following Austin to Marvin's residence.
The two cultivators lived in the same general area but Marvin's apartment was much more superior to
Austin's.
After some time, the disciples stopped outside a luxurious residence.
"This is Marvin's yard." One of the four outer disciples told Austin.
"Go inside and tell him that I'm coming for him. Tell him I am going to take over this apartment now,"
Austin ordered.
"Okay!"
The four outer disciples were very excited when Austin asked them to go inside Marvin's yard.
With Marvin present, they wouldn't have to be so afraid of Austin now.
"Marvin! Marvin, Austin is coming here to make trouble!"
The four disciples relaxed the very moment they entered Marvin's yard.
One of them shouted crazily while running into his yard.
Austin sneered and stood calmly in the middle of the gate, blocking the exit to prevent someone from
fleeing.
In the yard, Marvin, Billy, and several other people who, by no means, looked like ordinary disciples
were sitting at a table with a big meal laid out in front of them.
They seemed to have drunk a lot, as their faces had turned red.
"Hey guys! Do you think Austin died in the area where the level three diabolic beasts were staying?"
Billy asked. He was still resenting the fact that he hadn't been able to kill Austin with his own hands.
"He-he! Don't worry, Billy! The competence of a level three diabolic beast is about the same as that of a
human at level eight or nine of Energy Gathering Realm.
I don't deny the fact that Austin was good in his bodily movement skills and combat effectiveness, but
he was only at level seven of Energy Gathering Realm. Compared to a level three diabolic beast, his
competence when facing the beast was far from enough.
