The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Very well. That is a wise decision. Now, you will gather your spiritual orb and hand it over to me."

Knowing that he might not know how, Austin instructed him like a true master would.

After receiving the instruction, the man clenched his teeth tight and hesitated for the one last tbefore accepting the

subordination. Then he narrowed his eyes and handed over his spiritual orb to Austin and pledged his obedience.

The rest of the men knew that if they didn't do the same, the tragic ending of their two killed fellow brothers would bectheirs.

Thus, left with no choice, the rest of the Astral Realm cultivators of the Wolf Gang, one by one, handed over their spiritual orbs to

Austin and bechis subordinates. It was a spectacular as well as a heartbreaking scene.

The only man who waited till the last minute was Pompeo. Not once in his life had he dreamed of witnessing such a scene with his

own eyes. However, he knew that the strongest becthe king and Austin had proven his power. As much as he savored the

feeling of being a leader, he had to hand it over to Austin and be one of his subordinates from this day on. Breathing out heavily,

his eyes met Austin's. That's when he walked toward the young man and handed over his spiritual orb. It was a difficult move.

Austin looked at those men and smiled. The taste of victory was delicious indeed. He knew that if he had to kill the rest of the men

he would do so since the Wolf Gang had a bad nand they tried to kill him a dozen of times. But he changed his mind. Now,

whether they wished or not, the rest of the core force of Wolf Gang had pledged him as the new leader.

After all their spiritual orbs were handed over, accompanied by his new subordinates, Austin went directly to the headquarter of

the Wolf Gang.

On their way towards the top of the mountain where the headquarter was situated, body parts and dead people were scattered

everywhere. The blood hadn't dried completely which made the soil soft and mushy to step on. Nearly a couple of hundreds of

people were killed by Austin. It was a terrible sight.

The bloody scene reminded everyone of how Austin had turned this place to a slaughterhouse and killed each of them with steady

hands.

When the eleven men saw this their hearts tightened and they felt deeply hurt, yet for Austin, he didn't show even the slightest bit

of sympathy. He was stone faced. He knew, fairly clearly that, more people were killed by the Wolf Gang compared to the number

of people lying dead at his feet today. They didn't show their mercy while killing those innocent men and women, so why should

he? Walking pass the fleshes with nothing written on his face, Austin didn't turn back his head. Not even once.

Soon, they reached the mountain top. When the rest of people from Wolf Gang ran out and tried to greet them, they found out that

the homicidal maniac - Austin- had also cwith them, standing right in front of the cultivators of their gang. They were

astonished by the fact that Pompeo and the rest of the leader group let Austin breathe freely. They were also astonished that he

was alive.

To their surprise, they seemed to catch a sense of obedience from the way Pompeo acted and talked to Austin -- full of

cautiousness and discreetness. Every single soul there was wondering what had happened to their leader. Shouldn't he have kill

the intruder by now?

Suddenly, the crowd that ran out to greet them becspeechless and flabbergasted.

When the room fell into dead silence with questions written all over everyone's face, Pompeo stepped out the crowd and informed

the rest of his gang and about the fact that Austin was the one true leader of the Wolf Gang from that moment onwards.

Austin didn't have the heart to watch them talk so he left Pompeo to talk to the other oblivious members. He then waited patiently

on the seat. He let them make their peace.

A while after, when the rest of the people finally digested the news, Austin walked into the conference hall with a bunch of people

following him.

Pompeo spent the next hour or so to tell Austin in with details all about the Wolf Gang and how it operated in the past and left

nothing out.

It was then known by Austin that Pompeo himself was the founder of the Wolf Gang.

The gang had existed for more than thirty years now around this area.

Initially, they was the ruler within just a couple of miles. Then, they expanded their force up to thousand miles in radius. That rule

was a long one.

Now, they had gained nearly a thousand and three hundred common members at their disposal. They were ready anytat the

leader's command.

But Austin killed nearly four hundred of them. He demolished literally a huge chunk of that mighty army.

That meant only nine hundred members of the troop were left for the gang. Most of them were cultivators in Mysterious Realm,

Imperial Realm and Master Realm.

The men who had gotten to the Astral Realm were only fifteen and Austin had slain four of them beforehand, which left the gang

with only eleven top cultivators.

That was the total number of members left after Austin's massacre.

When Pompeo was done with his report, he showed Austin the way to their treasury.

When the door of the treasury opened right in front of Austin's eyes, he was very surprised by what was unfolded.

Alongside with a small mountain of the superior vital energy crystal, there were nearly couple thousands of divine vital energy

crystals. The spiritual energy was floating in the air and everyone could just smell it.

Piles and piles of elixir and pills was placing on the feet of the superior vital energy crystal mountain. Though these were not top-

grade medicines, Austin was surprised with the number of it.

Then, Austin noticed that there was a giant shelf against the wall, there laid numerous spiritual weapons, sacred weapons, divine

weapon and weapons of all kinds imaginable. The shelf that could hold up to thousands of weapons were nearly full.

However, Austin didn't see any of the holy weapon from the shelf. Now, he had the number of what the Wolf Gang had. It did not

matter when the whole force was with him.

Thirty years of wrongdoings and bad names, the treasury marked their strength yet Austin was here, today, to claim it. How ironic

was that? Such was the wheel of time.

Austin seemed to get a good glimpse of the reason why cultivators would rather choose to be caterans than being a normal

disciple of any sect. The treasury spoke for them. It was way easy to slaughter and rub for treasure than to earn your way up being

a good kind of cultivator.

Pompeo also told Austin that the treasury was actually protected by more than twenty defense arrays both inside and out.

Therefore it was highly secured.

More so, they have spent a good fortune to have those defense arrays established by a top array expert from a city miles and

miles away. It was clear that the Wolf Gang saw the treasury much more higher than their own lives. Austin finally understood the

reason why they had struggle so much to make their decision of being a subordinate of him earlier today.

After finishing the tour of the treasury, Austin took a little more than a half of the divine vital energy crystals.

Two days ago, the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot he used to speed up his way to the city nearly drained him. Now he could refuel his

chariot easily.

So, this time, he had the whole treasury at his disposal just in case he needed another large amount to pay for his next ride. He

was overjoyed at this new prospect of leadership.

Austin didn't take too much from the treasury other than the divine crystal and most of the things he took were mainly for Tessa

and the Meng family.

He knew that Pompeo would have no problem with it. Rather he could have no problem with this intervention anymore.

Now that their spiritual orbs belonged to Austin, they could do nothing but to show obedience and loyalty to him.

He also knew that the whole Wolf Gang wouldn't say another word even if he swiped clean everything off and took all the treasures

with him. They could simply watch the act. And that was the kind of power you had upon other people when you were the one true

leader.

After they returned from the treasury, all of them went straight back to the conference hall.

Within the next few minutes, Austin was asking Pompeo questions about the Triangle Zone.

It was just routine inquiry as he did want to know more about the area he just conquered himself.

"My sire, if | may ask, is your purpose of this trip to the Triangle Zone the auction of the Graystone City?"

After a moment of random talk, Pompeo suddenly addressed Austin and threw this question at him.

"What? The auction of the Graystone City? Tellmore about it."

Austin paused for a second. He never heard of such an odd event since the purpose of his travel was not about it.

"Oh. | thought that you have cfor this particular purpose. Among all the cities in the Triangle Zone, there is this one city called

the Graystone City. They hold an annual auction that will attract tons of the cultivators from all around.

For cultivators like us from the Triangle Zone, this auction is like a prestige issue for comparing with others.

| have heard from others that there will be a lot of good stuffs ready for auction this year, including srare medicines, spells

and treasures.

Not only did cultivators from the Triangle Zone could attend the event, like | said before, tons of cultivators from other part of the

world would ctogether and attend the auction. It is like an annual fare.

| have met cultivators from the South Continent of the PrMartial World myself. They wouldn't be the only foreigners coming for

the auction. Each year, you can find snew faces representing different part of the world during the auction. It is exciting as

well as chaotic at the stime.

That's why | asked you whether you've cto this city for the auction,"

explained Pompeo.

"Interesting. You have my attention now. Okay, letask you.

Do you have any information about what's going to be put on auction in the Graystone City this year? Anything unusual maybe?"

asked Austin.

"From what | heard from the insider, one thing that attracts most attention of the auction is a lead on Unearthly Fire. Loads of pill

refiners are coming for it.

| am not sure about which kind of Unearthly Fire that lead belongs to. But, | did catch a few words. They said it's called the Dark

Gloomy Bone Fire or something like that?"

Pompeo recalled.

"The Dark Bone Gloomy Fire!"

Although Pompeo addressed it incorrectly, Austin was as sure as stone that he was talking about the long-lost Dark Bone Gloomy

Fire. He almost jumped out of his chair upon hearing the nof it. He was super shocked and excited. After all, he now had a new

found goal.
