Chapter 4435 Surrender

Austin's voice sounded listless but the aura he emitted was the exact opposite―it was commanding and authoritative, like a hawk watching its prey.

His presence and his gaze were enough to make any man tremble in fear.

Every creature who stood witness was surprised.

They couldn't imagine the four powerful forces, which used to command the world, had been reduced to this; a group of people cowering over a single man.

The sect that had once domineeringly ruled over their cosmos was now subservient and compliant!

Everyone thought they would never see this day. This exact moment was something to be marked on the Sword Cosmos' history, a glorious achievement that would never be forgotten.

Perhaps, even if a million years passed, some creatures would still talk about this momentous event. That there was once a powerful young man in the Sword Cosmos who made the four super forces kneel before his presence―a phenomenon for the books.

He alone defeated the four super forces with only his sword!

"No way, Austin!"

The sect leader of the Long Sword Sect was livid. He, along with other six governing gods, were screaming angry protests upon hearing Austin's absurd request.

"That's my condition."

Their complaints fell on deaf ears. Austin stood his ground. With his hands clasped behind his back, he glared at the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect.

The supreme grandmaster, on the other hand, was torn. He was unable to make a decision.

As the most important person in their sect, he had the final say.

"Young man, our sect boasts a long history and a deep foundation. It is a respected force in the Sword Cosmos.

Your condition is a little harsh.

Could you replace it with another one?

Cultivation resources, cultivation methods, treasures, rare divine mines, territories, or any other thing you find valuable. As long as our sect has it, you can just name it."

The supreme grandmaster chose to act cordial around Austin. In fact, there was even a sense of humbleness in his tone. His former arrogant facade melted away.

He was left with no other choice but to do so since the Long Sword Sect had lost the fight.

Even he, the supreme grandmaster, was badly injured and could not fight anymore.

His attitude towards Austin could entail their sect's future―he had to act amiable.

Austin merely raised his eyebrow in return.

"I already said what I want.

You surrender and pledge allegiance to me.

Either that, or I'll destroy the Long Sword Sect t

ll the sects and races were both thunderstruck and terrified. They exchanged amazed opinions with each other.

"Send an envoy to the Ethereal World to meet the senior leaders of the Curry Sword Sect.

From now on, we, the Crescent Sword Sect will submit to the Curry Sword Sect and follow its orders!"

"Announce to the public that we, the shoal race, are loyal to the Curry Sword Sect!"

"From now on, the Utmost Brightness Sword Sect officially becomes a subsidiary force of the Curry Sword Sect!"

Numerous forces in the Sword Cosmos had decided to concede―pledging allegiance to the Curry Sword Sect was their best option for survival.

The senior leaders of these forces were keen and sensitive. They had an accurate understanding of the current situation, so they took action first.

However, there were also some forces that were still unsure of the decisions they had to make.

These forces, more or less, later all paid a price.

Meanwhile

in the Long Sword World

"My patience is limited, old man,"

Austin warned as he waited for the supreme grandmaster's decision.

"Okay, fine. I am agreeing to your terms, young man.

From now on, we, the Long Sword Sect, will submit to you and follow your orders!"

the supreme grandmaster vowed under gritted his teeth.

Anyone who could see him speak would notice how much painful it was for him to submit.

"Supreme grandmaster!"

exclaimed the sect leader of the Long Sword Sect and the six other governing gods.

"Guys, do you think our sect has another choice?

In order to preserve the foundation of our sect, I have no choice but to do this,"

the supreme grandmaster sighed miserably.
