cursed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hiding in one of the old houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but feel bad about his own luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was close to leaving the Star University Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he had found so many people searching for his whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star University Territory was vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him days to reach the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even successfully cut off the tail of the Dark Shadow University Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that the Dark Shadow University Warriors were after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cutting off their tail, he thought he was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had never expected the Star University to dig out his identity this fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t given him a chance to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been delayed by one day, he would have escaped this territory successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, things didn’t go his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to change plans at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his identity was known, it was impossible to travel like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, it was impossible for him to leave through the normal checkpoints or teleportation platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Gold Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had years of experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the borders were under the watch of the Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was more probable that other Middle Towns were no longer safe for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors of the Star University must be looking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also aware that each organization has an intelligence unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His information must have been dug up by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went anywhere right now, the chances of him being recognized by people were high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t have a choice,” Rupert muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t go to human gathering places anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only choices left for him were the dangerous forest and forbidden places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forbidden places were usually controlled by the forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had the right security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could go to the dangerous forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was open to the civilian population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunters’ and mercenaries’ livelihoods depended on the dangerous forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert’s eyes shone with light, not knowing he was under the watch of Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must go to the dangerous forest and hide there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t think they will be looking for me forever,” Rupert said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this level of mobilization required resources and manpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed the Star University was using its full power to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t continue it forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would cost them resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All I had to do was hide and stay low-key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood, I don’t think the Star University would pay more for a dead genius,” Rupert said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt more confident at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the house, Austin was standing in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was observing and listening to every mumbling word of Rupert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rupert knew, he wouldn’t dare to sit for any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have already fled for his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin didn’t do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for the enemy to let his guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy was a Gold Mark Warrior-one step away from the Purple Mark Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know whether Rupert had any killing artifacts that could deal with a Purple Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had to make sure Rupert didn’t have anything with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were examples where dying Gold Mark Warriors used their trump cards to kill Purple Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Austin was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t let anger take control of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming here, he had been filled with rage and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, his mood was serene and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the enemy was found, he was looking at Rupert like prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know whether Dark Shadow University is involved?” Austin muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dark Shadow University was involved, he didn’t think they would let it go after one attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he thought it was better to get information from Rupert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert was not asleep at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, he didn’t dare to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin’s eyes flashed with appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though nobody liked the cruel policies of Dark Shadow University, their warriors were strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the average of their warriors had more life-and-death experiences than those of other forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin sighed as he looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to waste any more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since there were only a few hours left before sunrise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to alarm anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to do it quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he appeared, he was already inside the old room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it?” Rupert shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he felt a monstrous coercion tightening around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even speak or move a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was locked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of fear flashed in Rupert’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the attacker was not a Gold Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Purple Mark Warrior,” he thought, his heart shuddering with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did a Purple Mark Warrior appear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Warriors were rarely seen outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like heads of organizations-the top tier in the Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to catch a killer, no organization head would go personally to apprehend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he was surprised and terrified by the coercion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought the utmost top Gold Mark Warriors would come after his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a Purple Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts were racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was filled with fear at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was thinking of leaving and hiding in the dangerous forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would have thought he would encounter bad luck again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Austin walked out of the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward Rupert, who was enveloped in his coercion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert couldn’t even lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin looked into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the person who had dared to attack his new talented disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin knew this person was a veteran assassin and a former branch head of a killing organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sure you have guessed my identity,” Austin said in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert’s heart skipped a beat, especially after seeing the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t think of one possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That kid was accepted as a disciple by a Purple Mark Warrior only a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how come his master would come here?” “Are the Purple Mark Warriors that free?” Rupert thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin smiled and said, “I’m Zack Lockwood’s master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the main elders in the Star University.” “You dared to attack my disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, my disciple is alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I wouldn’t be talking to you right now,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible,” Rupert thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How come…..” “It’s impossible….” Rupert felt like he was going crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe what he had just heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a low-level warrior survive an attack from a Gold Mark Warrior?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with coercion, it should smash low-level warriors’ bones and organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even seen Zack Lockwood lying in a pool of his own blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert’s expression distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Austin frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to talk to someone mentally disabled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to get information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately destroyed Rupert’s dantian and amputated his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert’s thoughts became clear as he felt the heart-wrenching pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe his end was near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dantian was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hard-earned warrior cultivation disappeared in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He totally forgot about his severed hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coercion disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he slumped to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not going to let you die easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to show you my specialty, which is torture,” Austin said in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert shuddered with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to imagine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his body was trembling right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loss of cultivation made him weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sure you have heard of foreign creatures, especially the Dark Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It likes to feed on souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it won’t finish its meal in one day.” “It likes to eat one small part at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pain coming from it won’t let you sleep or lose consciousness,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Rupert uttered, his expression changing drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horror was written on his face, as if he had heard something more sinister and vicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreign creatures were a plague harming the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected the Purple Mark Warrior in front of him to have one in his possession, which indicated that his rank was not low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be one of the most powerful in the Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Rupert asked in a trembling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like you are ready to listen.” “I’m Austin, a member of the Thunderflame Faction,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Rupert’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it was over for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t want to die a cruel death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially, he didn’t want to be eaten by a foreign Dark Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard the reports and seen some corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their deaths would be miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this person was talking, it meant he wanted information from Rupert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m ready to tell you everything you want,” Rupert said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…Ha…Ha…,” Austin let out a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have a brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now tell me everything.” “How did my disciple become your enemy?” “What was the reason behind the incomplete mission?” “Who ordered you to do it?” Austin asked back-to-back questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to use this opportunity to learn about his disciple’s enemy, so that in the future, he could be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more
