Soon after, all the divine gods of the Purple Sword Sect ended up as Austin's slaves.
No matter how hard they tried, none of them could escape!
As for the rest soldiers, Austin had no interest in them.
Since he wasn't a bloodthirsty killer,
he just let them run away. It was a waste of time to try and kill all of them.
When they saw that Austin had no intention of chasing after the foot soldiers, hundreds of slaves and
all the members of the Lin Clan also halted and remained standing behind Austin.
"Young hero, you saved our lives!
Without your help, our family would've been destroyed!
Thank you very much!"
Garth walked up to Austin and bowed sincerely to him.
Since Garth observed that the young man's strength was unimaginable, he knew that defeating the
Purple Sword Sect's troops was a piece of cake for him.
Even the entirety of the Lin Clan's power was nothing compared to the strength of this young man!
Therefore, he tried his best to humble himself in front of Austin and acted as if he was inferior.
In the world of martial artists, strength decided everything.
It was also worthwhile for the Lin Clan to make friends with such a powerful man,
even if they had to get off their high horse.
In fact, it was already an honor if Austin was willing to befriend them!
"Come, all of you. Kneel down and give your thanks to our savior!"
Garth turned around and let out a loud order towards the members of the Lin Clan.
All the senior members of the Lin Clan immediately realized Garth's plan, so they rushed towards
Austin without hesitation and knelt down to thank him for saving their lives.
However, the other members couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they heard Garth's
order.
After all, they wouldn't drop to their knees for a stranger if there wasn't a good reason.
However, when they saw that all the senior members knelt, they had no choice but to follow along.
"Thank you for saving our life!"
With Garth's order, all the members of the Lin Clan shouted their thanks as one.
'This guy's really smart.'
It took Austin only one glance at Garth to immediately realize his plans.
However, their behavior just grated on Austin's nerves.
Since Austin had the same surname as the Lin Clan,
he decided to help them and didn't pay any mind to the fact that Garth would take advantage of his
strength.
"You're welcome. There's no need to kneel,"
Austin responded calmly.
"If you say so!"
How dared he disobey Austin's words? Garth immediately asked all the members of the Lin Clan to rise
to their feet.
With a single thought, Austin summoned two figures and dozens of divine gods to appear next to him.
The figures were Maple and her brother Gregory, while the dozens of slaves were the ones Austin
subdued before.
"Master!"
A loud greeting left the dozens of slaves at the sight of Austin.
"Dad!
Uncles! It's you!"
Surprise and joy lit up the faces of the two siblings when they suddenly saw their family members
standing in front of their eyes. Both of them quickly rushed towards them.
"Gregory!
Maple!
This is amazing! You're all right!"
Even Garth couldn't hide his excitement as he held onto their hands and carefully surveyed them from
head to toe.
"It's great that you're both safe!"
Some of the other senior members of the Lin Clan also couldn't hide their relief.
Everyone in the clan had a soft spot for Garth's children.
"I'm so glad that you came back unscathed!"
Garth excitedly declared.
"Oh! Right!
Hurry and thank our savior!"
It suddenly hit Garth that Austin was still standing before them, so he hurriedly urged Maple and
Gregory to express their thanks.
"Dad, we know each other already,"
Maple said.
"So what? If I'm not mistaken, this young hero must've saved you two as well.
Not just you two, but the entirety of the Lin Clan could survive thanks to him.
Go kneel and thank him right now!"
Garth impatiently demanded.
"Fine."
Although they had grievances about Garth's attitude, they just bit their tongue and didn't dare to
disobey their father.
Without another word, the two of them dropped to their knees to express their gratitude towards Austin.
Despite their complaints, both of them saw Austin's exceptional ability with their own eyes and had
nothing but sincere respect for him.
Therefore, it didn't eat much at their pride to have to kneel down to Austin.
"Get up."
Austin heaved a sigh.
A powerful force was released to help the two siblings back to their feet.
"You're welcome, Chief Lin. My surname is actually Lin as well."
Austin smiled softly.
"What? Amazing!
Your surname is Lin?
That's so great!
This must be fate!
Ha-ha! It's a great honor for us to share the same surname with you!"
Excitement filled Garth when he heard Austin's confession.
His mind was racing a mile per minute in the hopes of finding a way to suck up to this young man.
Unexpectedly, his last name was also Lin!
This was nothing less than the perfect opportunity for Garth to milk for all its worth.
"Since your surname is also Lin, the Lin Clan of the Red Sword City is also your home!
Young hero, please come and join our banquet.
Let us repay your kindness!"
Garth immediately grabbed the chance to invite Austin.
"We hope you give us the chance to pay you back for your great help!"
All the other senior members also turned gazes filled with great expectation towards Austin.
They all had a good grasp of the current situation.
Although the troop of the Purple Sword Sect already retreated,
they would definitely return sooner or later.
With the Lin Clan's current power, they weren't anywhere equal to the Purple Sword Sect.
Hence, their only hope was the young man in front of them.
Once the young man turned his back on them and left them alone,
then the Lin Clan would really be in big trouble!
They would have to face the anger of the Purple Sword Sect by themselves!
"Maple, since you know this young man the longest, you must use every trick in the book to get him to
stay in the Red Sword City.
Otherwise, our clan will be utterly wiped out!
He's our only hope!"
Garth ordered his daughter through his spiritual sense.
"Is it that serious?"
Maple couldn't believe what her father said.
"Stop asking dumb questions!
This young man is crucial to the survival of our clan.
In all honesty, our clan may survive with this young man's help; without it, we'll be destroyed. He's the
key that will determine our future!
No matter what method you have to use and no matter what price you'll have to pay, find a way to
make him stay!
Sacrifice yourself if you have to!"
Garth bluntly ordered his daughter.
