A feeling of relief and joy surged through Austin's veins at the sight of Jaime's dead body.
The thought of how the last three years he had been living his life like an idiot crept into his mind. He couldn't help but sigh.
Now, Jaime, the culprit, was finally brought to justice. He had taken his vengeance on him.
"Austin, you finally managed to take revenge and settle your old scores!" A figure cto Austin and said softly.
He was Murray, the steward of the Sun Sect.
"Austin, you have reached such a high level, | never expected that you could achieve such tremendous achievements." Austin's delicate face reminded him of the days when he found him, he was just a vagrant child wandering around on the streets.
Yet Austin had reached the pinnacle within just six to seven years, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
Now his strength was much stronger than the leaders of five major sects.
As Murray recalled the memories, he becemotional as joy and happiness welled up in his heart.
"Ha ha, in those days without your care and cultivation, | would be nobody today." Austin expressed his gratitude to Murray.
For Austin, Murray was both his master and father.
So he wanted to cback and see Murray, which was also one of his reasons for rescuing the Sun Sect from a siege.
At the stime, Theon and the five Elders had organized sdisciples to clean the battlefield.
The Sun Sect had suffered a great loss this time, a lot of disciples died while many of the buildings were ruined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA heavy smell of blood permeated everywhere, making the entire Sun Mountain smell as bad as hell.
It would take a tremendous amount of work for the Sun Sect to recover to what it used to be.
After arranging people to deal with the aftermath of the battle, Theon and five other Elders witnessed Austin kill Jain the most savage method, pounding him to death with his fists.
Theon and the other five Elders walked towards Austin.
"Austin, this tyou single-handedly saved the whole Sun Sect.
Otherwise, the Sun Sect would have been eliminated today.
On behalf of the Sun Sect, I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude to you.
By the way, as a follow up to our previous conversation, how about you consider returning to the Sun Sect? | am willing to abdicate my position and let you take the post as the Sun Sect leader if you are willing to cback.
So | suggest for you to be crowned the new Sun Sect Leader, how about that?" Theon asked in anticipation.
'What?' Austin and the other five Elders and steward Murray were caught off guard by the request; they could not wrap their heads around the direction the conversation was taking; they were shocked at his words.
'Will Theon give up the position of the Sun Sect Leader just because he wants Austin to return to Sun Sect?' Everyone wondered.
"Austin, truth be told, your cultivation base is good enough for you to be the Sun Sect Leader.
| feel ashamed to say that compared to you; | am far worse.
You are the only one qualified to lead the Sun Sect and restore its strength to its former glory, what it used to be hundreds of years ago." Theon's tone was very earnest.
"Sect Leader Theon, you are exaggerating. | am more like a wild stock or floating cloud, | am a recluse and | have got used to my leisurely life, being a Sect Leader is not an option for me.
And | will leave the Violet Orchid Empire soon." Austin responded.
"Oh, will you leave the Violet Orchid Empire? Where will you go?" The news stunned Theon, and the other five Elders and Murray.
"Ha ha! | plan to go on a long tour, the Violet Orchid Empire is too small, | prefer to travel in the outside world." Austin said with a short laugh.
"Sect Leader Theon, for one thing, you have asked me, again and again, to return to the Sun Sect, it would be unreasonable if | keep declining.
| will return to the Sun Sect, but as a common disciple," Austin answered after a brief thought.
Theon and the other five Elders wore delightful looks as they absorbed Austin's words.
"Since you insist that you don't want to be the leader, | won't force you either.
Austin, you are right, the Violet Orchid Empire is too small for your strength.
Your strength deserves a wider world for you to explore.
Well, from now on you are a disciple of the Sun Sect.
| will issue a statement to the whole Violet Orchid Empire in two days about your return.
Let all the warriors in the Violet Orchid Empire know your status." Theon looked delighted.
"Since Jais already dead, we need a new elder to replace Jaime. | suggest Murray to take the position." Theon said suddenly.
‘Huh? Everyone else was dumbfounded.
"Sect Leader, how can | deserve such high status and where will | learn the ability to be an Elder? My strength is not strong enough to be an Elder." Murray himself was even more dumbfounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ha ha, don't say no. You are steady and popular, and you can have all the matters properly and logically organized.
For your doubts on strength, you have all the tto cultivate and improve your strength.
So that's done, Murray.
Oh, | should call you Elder Murray!" Theon laughed.
"It is..." The promotion cunexpectedly.
Murray found it a bit too abrupt.
"No more hesitation, Elder Murray. Our Sect Leader has given his orders." "You are too humble, Elder Murray." The other five Elders echoed their support, all in agreement.
In fact, Theon knew the relationship between Murray and Austin. He was doing so to gain Austin's favor.
At a young age of less than 20 years old, Austin had already had a Sky Realm cultivation base, such martial arts skills were extremely rare in the world.
He knew that Austin was a man with lofty aspirations; he would amaze the world and reach the peak of perfection in martial arts, a peak no warrior in the Violet Orchid Empire could imagine.
Keeping friendly relations with him would likely benefit the Sun Sect greatly in the future.
Moreover, he was very clear that Murray was good enough to be an Elder.
So, Theon offered the post of Elder to Murray in Austin's presence.
Austin was also surprised at Theon's decision, but after a brief reflection, he understood his strategy. Since it was good for Murray, Austin had no opposition to Theon's suggestion.
The other five Elders also understood Theon's plan.
Thereupon, Theon immediately announced to all the disciples of the Sun Sect that Murray would be the newly appointed Elder of the Sun Sect.
