The Supreme God

Austin felt kindly disposed towards Theon, as the latter had taken sides with him and even stood up against the Flaming Sun Valley, Peripatetic Sect, Bloody Hero Gang, and Blood Wolf Team. As a result, Austin showed him great respect.

"Okay," said Denali.

She bade Austin goodbye and returned to Theon.

Austin sauntered forward, about to leave the square.

Dewey, Maria, Iris, and Anna didn't follow after Austin; their families were here, and they wanted to spend more time with them.

"Austin, I didn't expect you to return safe and sound. You are indeed much more powerful than before. Congratulations!"

As Austin reached the edge of the square, a group of people approached him.

The head of them was Prince Reuben.

Since the young cultivators' return from the Mysterious Nether World, the ten princes had immediately instructed their men to make contact with those cultivators working for them.

After all, whether or not these cultivators had found the soul-recovering fruit was the ten princes' foremost concern.

The ten princes had then asked each of the cultivators about the soul-recovering fruit one after another, but to their disappointment, no one had retrieved any soul-recovering fruit.

The grand prince had been full of bright hope at the very beginning. He had eagerly asked the cultivators working for him about the soul-recovering fruit one after another, including Graham, Bruce and their men. But their answers proved so disappointing.

Eventually, all the princes became disappointed as they deduced that none of the cultivators had brought back any soul-recovering fruit from the Mysterious Nether World.

Although Graham and Bruce was at the Sky Realm, and was the strongest among the cultivators, they had failed too. The ten princes didn't believe that the rest of the cultivators could have claimed the soul-recovering fruit.

Now that it seemed that no one had successfully brought back the soul-recovering fruit, the competition between the ten princes had drawn to a stalemate. They would have to battle each other in another way next time.
