?


    Naturally, no outsider could understand the power struggle between the man and the lion.


    Everyone could not imagine that the pure-blooded ferocious beast had beenpletely subdued in this short period of mounting it as well!


    As Aiden approached slowly riding on the Golden Lion, a martial artist looked at the beautiful female martial artist at the side and whispered, "Senior Sister, should we head up and thank him?"


    The beautiful female martial artist had a lost gaze and was first frozen upon hearing that. Immediately after, her beautiful eyes shed with a hint of panic as she nodded with blushed cheeks. "Of course."


    The way she looked at the gray-robed martial artist was different.


    Everyone was martial artists who had trained for dozens and hundreds of years. Naturally, all of them could see and understood it internally as well.


    The beautiful female martial artist''s name was Lysabel K.


    She was famous in their sect and was the de facto number one beauty. Coupled with her extraordinary talent and powerful strength, she was a shining crown jewel of her generation!


    It would be a lie to im that all the male martial artists of the same sect present were perfectly fine without any envy after noticing Lysabel K''s intentions.


    However, everyone was also clear after this battle.


    The gray-robed martial artist was indeed a rare paragon with a distinguished bearing. He seemed schrly but every single move of his had an overwhelming dominance that was admirable!


    Lysabel K took a deep breath and approached Aiden, bowing with cupped fists before saying gently, "I am Lysabel K of Southern Duel Sect. Thank you for your lifesaving grace, dear friend!"


    Aiden paused in his tracks and turned to look at Lysabel K indifferently.


    Lysabel K''s head was lowered slightly, revealing a slender and smooth neck. Trickles of sweat sparkled down her neck with a charming allure.


    It would be exaggerated to im that she fell in love with Aiden at first sight.


    However, at that moment, Lysabel K''s heart was truly pounding in an unstoppable manner.


    She felt as though everyone could hear her heart and did not dare to look Aiden in the face.


    In reality, she could not be med either.


    If any other girl were to be rescued from the brink of death by someone who killed off all threats in his path and subdued all demons with such overbearing methods, they would also be flustered.


    "It''s nothing,"


    Aiden replied indifferently before patting the Golden Lion.


    The Golden Lion understood his intentions and ignored Lysabel K''s group before continuing towards the exit of the valley.


    Lysabel K lowered her head instinctively only to catch sight of a fading green-colored figure. She could not help but feel a wave of disappointment.


    Standing rooted on the spot, she bit her cherry lips and hesitated for a long time as she stared at that shrinking green figure. Finally, she made a decision and chased in pursuit with light steps.


    The survivors from Southern Duel Sect followed hurriedly as well.


    "Exalted friend, please wait up!"


    Lysabel K shouted.


    The figure at the front paused.


    Delighted, Lysabel K hastened even more.


    Before long, she caught up to the figure, panting slightly.


    "Is there anything?"


    Aiden turned around with a questioning look.


    Earlier on, Lysabel K did not leave when he was fighting the ancient remnant beasts.


    Her actions gave him a decent impression of this woman.


    Otherwise, he would have left much earlier on without stopping.


    Lysabel K tried her best topose herself as she looked at Aiden''s refined features and smiled. "I don''t know your name and sect or faction. After all, you are our benefactor. I need to know where to find you if I ever want to repay the debt in the future."


    Aiden smiled lukewarmly. "It''s too much to call me a benefactor. I merely passed by coincidentally and did it for the Spirit Gathering Fruit as well."


    Lysabel K''s cheeks flushed, be it because she was rushing earlier on or for some other reasons, and asked again, "You haven''t said your name, dear friend?"


    "My name…"


    Aiden hesitated for a moment. "I am Aiden, I''ve got no sect or faction."


    At the same time, he focused his gaze on Lysabel K''s expression.


    There were not many changes to her expression.


    It was the reaction one would expect upon hearing the name of a stranger.


    Aiden nodded silently.


    It seemed like Southern Duel Sect should not be from the North Region.


    There were few martial artists in the North Region who had not heard of the name Aiden.


    "Honored Young Master, Aiden, where are you headed? If it''s convenient, can we travel together?" Lysabel K invited with sincerity.


    Aiden raised his brow slightly – his first instinct was to decline.


    When Lysabel K saw Aiden raising his brow, she knew that things would most likely not go her way as she added hurriedly, "Many living beings have awoken from their slumber and entered the ancient battlefield. At the same time, there are also ferocious beasts from the eight demon regions. This ce is extremely treacherous and if we travel together, we can help one another."


    At that point, Lysabel K felt a little embarrassed.


    After all, from Aiden''s disy of strength earlier on, he truly did not require their help.


    After pondering for a moment, Lysabel K continued, "Southern Duel Sect is one of the upper sects of the South Region. Although we can''tpare to you in terms ofbat strength, we can still offer some help. Furthermore, Senior Brother Kell is alone outside, but he must be rushing over here upon receiving our spirit crane sent for help."


    "That''s right, we won''t be defeated so badly if Senior Brother Kell was here with us," The martial artists at the side sighed.


    "Senior Brother Kell is strong and is a paragon listed on the previous Phenomenon Ranking. If he was around, these beasts wouldn''t have been able to get this cocky!"


    Another Southern Duel Sect martial artist snarled and red at the Golden Lion Aiden was mounted on with hateful eyes.


    Initially, the Golden Lion was listless and dispirited.


    However, upon sensing hostility, it turned around furiously and opened its mouth, roaring at the person with an aggressive stance primed to lunge!


    "Roar!"


    The mountains and forests shook!


    The Southern Duel Sect shuddered out of fear and wanted to retreat instinctively with a pale face. However, his legs went limp and he fell onto the ground.


    "Hahahaha!"


    The Golden Lion reared its head inughter with a mocking gaze.


    Although it was subdued by Aiden, its might was still existent – it did not mean that it would allow anyone to trample on it.


    After all, the Golden Lion was a pure-blooded ferocious beast and was innately feral, unable to be tamed.


    Ashamed, the Southern Duel Sect martial artist''s expression turned even more vengeful!


    This time round, Aiden did not lecture it. Instead, he was gazing at the distant horizon in deep thought.


    Suddenly, a robust swoosh sounded from the horizon!


    An extremely powerful aura sped over rapidly and the sound of clothes fluttering cut through the air like a streak of lightning!


    "Senior Brother Kell!"


    "Senior Brother Kell is back!"


    Everyone from Southern Duel Sect was excited and eximed.


    Aiden had an indifferent expression and was not surprised.


    He had already noticed activity from the area before the sound was heard.


    Indeed, this martial artist with the surname Kell definitely had some capabilities to be able to tread alone on the ancient battlefield.


    Moreover, there were at least millions or more Martial Masters that entered this ce!


    However, there were only a total of 108 spots on the Martial Master Phenomenon Ranking – anyone that could upy a spot was definitely extraordinary.
