For the first time, Aiden felt that this world, this 'martial world' was much more savage and had more bloodshed than anything he had seen so far!
After consuming the ancient elixir back in the Ancient One's Temple that enhanced his draconic form, most of the old heavenly swan's injuries had already recovered and it had gotten a new life.
However, a look of weariness could still be seen in the eyes of the old heavenly swan.
This battle had expended most of her life's essence and vitality.
If she could not advance a step further, she would have to pass away here!
Maintaining its ferocious bird form, the old heavenly swan stood at the peak of Azure Myst Sect on one leg and closed its eyes to train. A power was rumbling within its body, raring to spew out!
Old skin started shedding from its body and its green feathers were incinerated. However, right in front of everyone, new skin regrew alongside green feathers that shone with a shiny luster!
The flames that were originally extinguished from her body had appeared once more.
Although the flames were small, they emitted a scorching temperature and were growing steadily; the void around the flames were already starting to contort due to the heat!
The old heavenly swan's condition was gradually turning better.
The little crane cried softly and jumped in joy.
Sect Master Ling Yun swallowed a mouthful of elixirs and started managing the situation, dragging his injured body while focusing his spirit. First, he ordered the martial artists on the battlefield to return to the sect and treat their injuries.
Next, he requested for the Martial Apprentice Stage Warriors who did not take part in the battle to come forth and clean up the battlefield.
Although he was severely injured after experiencing such a calamity, Ling Yun did not panic and displayed strong leadership in controlling the situation.
The sect started moving in an orderly manner after his instructions were pumped out.
"Friend, for a moment… please wait…"
At that moment, when Ling Yun saw the gauze-top woman turn to leave, she called after her immediately and bowed deeply, saying in a sincere manner, "Thank you for your assistance, madam. Please stay a couple of days in Azure Myst Sect so that we can host you properly."
"There's no need."
The gauze-top woman waved it off with an indifferent expression.
Sensing the firmness in the gauze-top woman's attitude, Ling Yun did not force things and cupped his fists. "May I know what's your name and what sect you are from? I'm unable to leave now because our sect has just been through a huge calamity. However, I'll definitely pay a visit personally to your sect in the future to express my thanks."
"There's no need for thanks either,"
The gauze-top woman shook her head and turned to Aiden. "The reason I stood forth this time round was because I was bequeathed to repay a favor."
Upon hearing that, Aiden was certain of his earlier conjecture and no longer had any doubts.
Thee gauze-top woman was definitely related to that woman!
The person who bequeathed her should be Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa.
Instinctively, he turned to look around but did not catch sight of Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa.
Ling Yun followed the gauze-top woman's gaze and froze momentarily.
"Young man?"
The elders of Azure Myst Sect revealed odd expressions when they heard that as well.
A Martial Grandmaster as powerful as such came forth just to repay a favor for a Martial Knight martial artist?
The gauze-top woman continued, "If you want to express your thanks, do it to him."
With that, the gauze-top woman did not linger and flew away.
Ling Yun and the others looked at Aiden with endless admiration in their eyes, as though they had just discovered the most precious treasure in this world!
Even without the gauze-top woman's remark, Aiden had done great merits in this battle.
Furthermore, he was at the so called, unique 'Extreme Martial Knight' realm!
This was the second person after the Human Emperor in history to have achieved that.
If he was already able to kill Martial Masters and possessed such terrifying potential and combat strength at Martial Knight realm, his future accomplishments would definitely not be inferior to that person above the clouds!
Of course, the Asura of the fiend sects was still the key to them turning the tides and securing victory.
Prior to this, everyone in Azure Myst Sect harbored immense hatred towards those of the fiend sects. As people of the immortal sects and the path of righteousness, they viewed the extermination of fiends and demons as a personal duty and would definitely not want to be associated with anyone of the fiend sects.
But now, after this incident, everyone had complicated feelings towards those of the fiend sects, or at least, towards Ward Atrez.
It did not matter whether he betrayed the sect or he was an evil fiend. What was undeniable was that Azure Myst Sect owed him a lifesaving debt.
Ling Yun wanted to head forth and express his thanks.
However, when Ward Atrez remained thousands of feet up above the clouds, Ling Yun couldn't reach that height given his martial realm.
Ward Atrez's hands were behind his back and he had a cold expression, giving off an aura that forbade people from approaching him.
A Grand Elder shook his head and said, "Forget it. Even if you head up, given that person's cold and aloof nature, he wouldn't pay any attention to you."
"That's right. After all, we are all considered to be of the younger generations compared to him. Senior swan is probably the only person in the sect who is qualified to speak to him," Another Grand Elder added.
Ling Yun nodded.
Right then, Ward Atrez who was initially up above the clouds suddenly descended.
Instantly, he arrived before everyone else and looked at Aiden, saying indifferently.
"Aiden, follow me."
With that said, he turned and headed in the direction of Azure Myst Sect's Thunderclap Valley.
Everyone from Azure Myst Sect was shocked.
The Grand Elders who spoke earlier on almost bit their tongue as their eyes widened!
Did the two of them… know one another?
Everyone from Azure Myst Sect exchanged glances speechlessly.
When they recalled how firm Ward Atrez was in rejecting the Blood Crow Clan's Lord's request in taking Aiden away, their minds starting reeling.
The attitude of the fiend sects' Asura towards Aiden was rather strange.
It did not seem as though he merely cherished the fact that Aiden was at Extreme Martial Knight.
"Is he thinking of taking Aiden with him to the Asura Sect? Will that be… okay?"
A Grand Elder frowned in deep worry.
"Let's not think too much about it. Even if that's what he wants, there's nothing we can do and there's no one who can stop him either. He was not one of us anyway and was just here to repay his debts…"
"That's right."
…
Aiden followed Ward Atrez into a not too far away remote area called the 'Thunderclap Valley'.
Waving his arm, Ward Atrez set up a barrier that isolated the sounds of rumbling thunder outside. Thereafter, he turned to look at Aiden quietly with a scrutinizing gaze.
"You were the one that obtained the secret skill inside the Ancient Bastard's Temple?" Suddenly, Ward Atrez asked.
Aiden nodded, not surprised by his attitude towards that almighty existence. "Thank you, senior."
Ward Atrez pouted his lips. "This is a secret skill that's said to be the Thunder Emperor's compilation of his life's work before his ascension back then.
Unfortunately, I only managed to obtain a page of it in the ancient battlefield.
It is called the Void Thunder Manual."
The Thunder Emperor!
It was no wonder why the demonic qi in Aiden's bloodline could be purged just through the mantra of a single page.
It was because the Void Thunder Manual had such a powerful origin!
A moment later, Ward Atrez asked, "You were the one who obtained the Sword Emperor's inheritance in the Metal Tree Grove?"
"I was."
Aiden admitted to it.
The Void Splitting Manual had been lost for many years and it was normal that the martial artists of the world could not recognize it.
However, Asura Sect was one of the super sects of Tianhuang Mainland and Ward Atrez who was before him was an expert at the Quasi Divine realm. It was only natural that Aiden's sword technique was recognized by the latter.
All of a sudden!
Aiden's heart skipped a beat and he recalled the thought that he did not complete earlier on.
Around a hundred or so years ago, the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea, Asura Sect, paragon who used a sword as his blade…
All the clues that were laid out before him pointed out to an incident in the past clearly.
"Senior, you… were the Asura Sect paragon who obtained the Sword Emperor's inheritance from the ancient battlefield a thousand years ago?" Aiden blurted out.
Ward Atrez nodded.
Realizing all of this, suddenly, Aiden was enlightened.
It was no wonder why Ward Atrez stared at him earlier on with such an odd expression as though he was looking at a successor of the younger generation.
