"You. Are. Courting. Death!"
The purple-robed martial artist's expression darkened instantly as he glared at Aiden, saying slowly. His entire aura changed all of a sudden and a shuddering energy shockwave surrounded him!
It was a Martial Master phenomenon!
Although Aiden had no spirit energy, he was extremely sharp towards the power of phenomenons.
It was clear that the purple-robed martial artist no longer wanted to waste time with Aiden after suffering a slight loss – he was prepared to use his Martial Master phenomenon to kill the latter!
Aiden had a calm expression.
If the purple-robed martial artist released his Martial Master phenomenon…
It would mean that there was no way to return and the two of them were going to fight to their deaths!
At that time, he would not require any reservations and would circulate his Inner Core to fight with his demon form!
Aiden's combat strength would increase in his demon form!
However, even then, he was not confident that he would be able to suppress this purple-robed martial artist.
This person's Martial Master phenomenon was frightening and could very well exceed his imagination!
"Junior Brother, don't fret! I'll help you!"
Right then, Morwyn Blackstone braved the mighty forcefield between the two of them and arrived beside Aiden. His eyes were clear and a terrifying energy fluctuation shrouded him as well!
Morwyn Blackstone knew about Aiden's core and knew that the latter couldn't conjure a Martial Master phenomenon because he had no spirit energy.
As such, he rushed over, intending to help Aiden defend against the Martial Master phenomenon of the purple-robed martial artist.
"Eh?"
The purple-robed martial artist's gaze shone brightly as he focused his attention on Morwyn Blackstone.
Aiden glanced slightly sideways as well.
A pristine jade flower bud appeared behind Morwyn Blackstone, pure, flawless, and dotted with dew.
The flower bud swayed gently with a mysterious glow that purged away the darkness as though it could cleanse every single bit of evil in this world!
The green flower bud was going to blossom at any moment!
World Cleansing Green Lotus!
The legendary and lost World Cleansing Green Lotus was actually at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley and was now coming from this unassuming little monk!
Before the World Cleansing Green Lotus was lost, it was ranked relatively high on the Phenomenon Ranking.
The ancient green lotus swayed with a bright glow and could cleanse all the sins in the world – this was a top-ten ranking phenomenon!
In reality, be it in terms of martial arts realm, mastery of spirit arts, and secret skills or strength, Morwyn Blackstone was not weak.
In fact, he was much stronger than most of the paragons that Aiden had seen before!
However, what Morwyn Blackstone lacked was the experience of engaging a powerful foe in a deadly bout.
He spent his days cultivating at the bottom of the valley isolated from the rest of the world and did not have the chance to fight with others, let alone experience the brink of death.
The combat strength that was commonly referred to was in reality not the actual strength of the martial artist, but the amount of strength they could produce!
If someone could only unleash 30% of his actual strength, his combat strength would also merely just be 30%.
In reality, Morwyn Blackstone's strength was enough to suppress the Daemon Wolf.
However, he was the one injured in the fight against the Daemon Wolf.
This was the reason behind it.
'Welcome!"
The doors of the grand hall were pushed open accompanied by a Buddhist proclamation as an old monk with long brows that fell from both sides of his face walked forth. He had hazy eyes and said gently, "Little Morwyn, these are guests from afar. Remove your phenomenon."
Morwyn Blackstone nodded.
The ferociousness in Aiden's eyes faded as well.
Since the old monk had shown himself, both of them were not going to fight anymore.
The old monk turned his sights toward the purple-robed martial artist. "Guest, although you are our guest, you've got to be orderly. You are free to browse through the prayers here. However, if you insist on fighting, I'll have to ask you to leave."
The implications of his sentence were heavy.
In other words, he was warning the purple-robed martial artist to behave himself.
Given the seniority of the old monk, there was naturally no way he would lay his hands on the purple-robed martial artist.
However, if the purple-robed martial artist went overboard, the old monk would not hesitate to have him leave as well!
The purple-robed martial artist sneered, "Reverend, it's fine if you want to protect these two disciples of yours. However, I've got something to ask you. Can you protect them for the rest of their lives?!"
"This man injured my spirit beast,"
The purple-robed martial artist pointed to Aiden who was not far away with a cold expression and said coolly, "You can protect him today. However, I'd advise you to keep him in the valley. He had better spend his entire life hiding at the bottom of this Dragon Burial Valley!"
"If I come across him outside, I'll have him hand over his head!"
The fact that the purple-robed martial artist made this remark in the face of the old monk was proof of his confidence.
The old monk remained silent.
Morwyn Blackstone could not hold it in and refuted, "Your spirit beast was the one that provoked us first and wanted to take the little fox away. How can you be so self-righteous when you were the one in the wrong? Aren't you unreasonable?!"
"You want to talk about the reason?"
The purple-robed martial artist sneered once more, "Little monk, your naive attitude is sure interesting. This is a world where the strongest survive! If you aren't strong enough, you deserve to be killed! That's the simplest reason ever!"
Although Morwyn Blackstone could not understand those words, Aiden could.
Strictly speaking, that was indeed the cruelty of the martial arts world.
Given Morwyn Blackstone's current state, even with his capabilities, he won't be able to survive long upon leaving the Dragon Burial Valley.
"Oh, right,"
As though he suddenly recalled something, the purple-robed martial artist looked at Aiden and smiled faintly. "The intermediate ancient battlefield is going to open up in 10 years' time. Don't ever head there, or… you're going to die inside!"
Aiden's expression was indifferent.
He did not care about the purple-robed martial artist's threat at all.
At this moment, he was not confident of suppressing the purple-robed martial artist even if he was in his demon form.
However, Aiden firmly believed that he would become even scarier 10 years later!
He would have been dormant for 20 years by then.
He was convinced that nobody would be able to stop him the moment he stepped out of the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley!
Not even this purple-robed martial artist before him could stop him!
Due to the appearance of the old monk, even though there was still hostility between the purple-robed martial artist and Aiden, there were no longer any clashes.
The purple-robed martial artist had a lot of elixirs with him.
Within a couple of days, he saved the Daemon Wolf whose life was hanging on a thread.
After the Daemon Wolf woke up, the way it looked at Aiden changed – there was a hint of avoidance and fear in its eyes.
For the following month…
The purple-robed martial artist did not leave.
He merely browsed through the Mystic divine Lotus prayer day and night.
After a month, he rose and brought the Daemon Wolf along with him to leave the old temple.
At the same time, the old monk approached Aiden.
He was direct and got straight to the point. "Are you intending to enter the ancient battlefield 10 years later?"
"Yes."
Aiden nodded and did not lie.
Given his martial arts realm, and under the circumstances where he wanted to take his friends, with him to leave the North Region, that was the best solution.
The old monk continued, "Alright, I'll make a move personally to open up a teleportation spot to the ancient battlefield 10 years later to send you and Morwyn Blackstone in."
It required the combined strength of five Void Reversions to open up a teleportation spot to the elementary ancient battlefield.
The temporal space in the intermediate ancient battlefield was much stabler.
To open up a connection point, the required strength would be greater and one had to be at least a Lesser God!
"Senior Brother Morwyn Blackstone…"
Aiden frowned and hesitated to speak.
Although Morwyn Blackstone was not weak, he had way too little experience in combat techniques.
The ancient battlefield was filled with bloodshed and massacres and was even crueler than the martial arts world!
There was a high chance that Morwyn Blackstone might die if he entered the ancient battlefield.
The old monk could tell of Aiden's worries. "Therefore, I want you to help him. There are still 10 more years. Try and think of a way to help him grow as quickly as possible."
Suddenly, Aiden recalled how Die Yue cast him into the Cang Lang Mountain Range and could not help but smile.
"It's simple,"
