"Mysterious stranger… I underestimated you today. If I et you again, I'll definitely take you down!" Reverend Jor Har's voice sounded from the distance, filled with endless indigence.
"Ahaha…" Aiden threw his head back and laughed, declaring loudly, "Ignorant Priest, if we et again and you dare go against , you won't be able to run again!"
Reverend Jor Har thought that he did not display his true strength. However, little did he know that it was the sa for the burly man before him!
After all, Aiden rely used his physical strength to contend and almost kill him just back then. If he were to shed his mask and utilize his true form and turn into a full-fledged Ancient Dragonoid figure and burst forth with his full usage of his [Soul Power], he would have taken Reverend Jor Har's life with the first palm strike!
In his opinion, even though Reverend Jor Har was a priest, this was no kind soul. There were a thousand corpses hanging around the gigantic tiger-like creature behind him. In other words, it ant that there were even more martial artists, young masters, and prodigies who had died in his hands before eting them!
That was the reason why Aiden made the remark about how the reverend had plenty of blood on his hands too. Furthermore, there was no way that Aiden could sit by idly and watch Reverend Jor Har attempt to kill an innocent-looking woman, this Holy Maiden without understanding the situation at all.
Whilst he was sure that the woman in white was no real saint either and had done many questionable things in the past, Aiden trusted the judgent of his System. When she was demarked with the friendly green color on his minimap, Aiden was sure that she would be an ally rather than an enemy or a neutral passerby.
Still, he had no idea who she was and how would she be friendly. Also, considering her unique abilities that were already scanned and revealed by the system, Aiden was just that much more baffled.
Even then, he wouldn't have bothered to intervene in their duel if the System wouldn't have thrown him an ergency quest just as he looked over! He had to co down and protect the young miss otherwise the system would penalize him which would then cause him to fail his main quests… Aiden had no other choice but to co to the aid of this unknown young woman, even if he deep down was still slightly against it.
Even worse, the gains were rely a new acquaintance and nothing substantial by the system! Not even so free System Points!
Watching from the sidelines the entire ti, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva even forgot to step out and assist the burly man.
On the one hand, it was because the burly man's thods had stunned her. On the other hand, there was a doubt she had in her mind.
With a cool gaze, she looked at the burly man before her intently, as though she was trying to decipher sothing.
Since he wanted to change his appearance and hide his identity, there was no way she could find anything vaguely familiar in the strange man.
Aiden turned to leave soon after forcing Reverend Jor Har to back off. Although he could not kill him and gain his precious vital essences as well as all that cultivated energy for himself, he did what was requested by him from the system.
All of a sudden!
A sweet fragrance wafted over. A beautiful figure stood in front of him and blocked his path. Closing in, a smiling face looked at Aiden with deep interest without blinking.
Under the Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's stare, although Aiden looked calm on the surface, he felt a little weak internally.
He was worried that he might have revealed any mistakes, exposing his disguise before this stranger of a woman even before the main event had started. He did not want to reveal any of his secrets before the ti was right. Especially being so close to the enemy, such a mistake may be critical!
Frowning slightly, he was about to avoid the Holy Maiden and walk to the side when a thought struck him. 'If I leave just like this, she'll definitely suspect and might even deduce sothing from my real identity. After everything that happened, not many could achieve such a feat…'
At that thought, he turned to Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva and glared at her expressionlessly, asking coldly, "What's the matter? What do you want?"
"Who are you?" Ignoring the cold tone, Sylvie asked in a sweet voice and a seductive smile.
"You can simply call Void Blade." Aiden had already thought up a na for himself before.
"Do we know one another?" She asked again.
"No." He responded curtly.
"Since we don't, why did you save ?" She asked the main question finally.
"Save you?" Montarily stunned, a mocking look flickered through Aiden's eyes as he sneered. "You're overthinking it, miss. I rely wanted to fight that priest. A warrior priest from their order was of a great opportunity! Saving you was just a matter of convenience."
"You're lying!" Suddenly, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's eyes shone brightly as she declared.
Aiden raised his brow in response.
Harrumphing coldly, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva continued. "When you first appeared, you saved imdiately and protected behind you. It was an extrely natural reaction without hesitation. Do you still dare to claim that you don't know ?"
"Heh… So self-conceited! You were blocking my line of sight and affected my performance. It's only natural that I had to drag you to the side." Aiden sneered in reply.
"Hmmm, alright."
Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva nodded and took a step forward aggressively. "By standing in front of , you revealed your back entirely to . I'm soone from the evil sects and yet you were totally unguarded and trusting towards . Despite that, you claim that you don't know ?"
It was undeniable that the chosen mistress of the Pure Maidens Sect was truly too smart.
Aiden thought that he had not made any mistakes after changing his appearance, everything he did was carefully thought out… To think that he had revealed such a flaw!
Just as the Holy Maiden had said, how could one of two people who had just t trust the other party so easily as to reveal their backs exposed entirely?
After a mont of silence, Aiden replied indifferently. "Heh! Even if I expose my back to you, do you think that you can injure ?!"
Although it was a brazen statent, in reality, it avoided Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's question.
She declared again, "Also, now that I'm not wearing my veil, there's no way anyone who's seeing my face for the first ti can be as calm as you! You should be enthralled by my sight!"
Though it sounded extrely arrogant and conceited, in reality, the Holy Maiden was truly qualified to say sothing like that.
The Pure Maiden Sect of the demonic sects was different from the other evil heirs. There were countless demonic heirs, similar to the ex-Dark Lord of the Malefic Demons Clan.
,m Yang Zahn of the Malefic Demons Clan was the number one amongst all his peers in the sa realm in the clan and hence, he was chosen as their future young heir. However, in truth, he wasn't the only one. For all major realms, there was one heir chosen and ready to take the helms. One for the lower realms, but there was actually one from the old Martial Grandmasters and Masters as well!
Upon firmly stepping into the next stage, Yang Zahn would have lost his title as the Dark Lord and Young Heir and would have to contend once again to beco one in his next power level. He would had to challenge the current heir and defeat him in a life-or-death battle!
The chosen heirs could not deny the challenge requests, it was one of the main rules in their clan!
The fight to be a chosen heir of the demonic factions was extrely cruel and every single chosen heir was truly, undeniably exceptional. They stood above countless corpses of their fellow sect mates and their hands were tainted with the sa blood.
Such competition was encouraged among these factions.
However, it was vastly different for the Pure Maidens Sect.
From the very beginning of their journey, all the way toward the height of the world in the Martial Grandmaster realm or even higher, there was only a single disciple of Pure Maidens Sect that could obtain the true inheritance of the sect.
Unless the current generation's Holy Maiden dies or loses her qualifications, the Pure Maidens Sect would not select a new successor.
Pure Maidens Sect had extrely high expectations for their Holy Maidens and it was not an exaggeration to say that the candidate is one in a billion.
Every generation's Holy Maiden was born with a natural charm that could topple worlds with every wink, smile, and action of theirs. Once they were truly grown up, they would definitely be peerless demonesses who could bewitch the masses.
