"Accursed beast, how dare you!"

William Fern had finally snapped out of his stupor, and his expression was extremely grim. He glared at monkey with a deep killing intent, and released his Martial Master's spirit energy while summoning a flying sword!

Aiden's gaze turned cold.

As long as William Fern dared to move, he would attack and crush this man to death with his palm!

William Fern's aura had barely surged when he shuddered.

Aiden's hands were tainted with the blood of many paragons; a single gaze from him carried an overbearing aura and a terrifying suppression!

"Brother Wu!"

Lockster Kong was the first to react as he held William Fern back by the arm and shook his head gently.

The killing intent in William Fern's eyes dissipated. He took a deep breath before calming down and retracted his flying sword.

"Humph!"

Monkey glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eyes before snorting and returning to Aiden's side.

This was almost a perfect victory for him!

Although he was injured as well, those were external injuries and his bones and tendons were unaffected.magic

After he swallowed the snake gall, the greatest threat to him, the Hook Snake poison, was already dispelled.

Lockster Kong cupped his fists from far away and said with a smile, "Young Master Aiden, to think that not only are you strong, even your spirit beast is so terrifying. I'm impressed."

Aiden frowned.

The fact that Lockster Kong was able to smile despite the immense losses meant that he was plotting something much greater!

Lockster Kong smiled. "Young Master Aiden, the reason why we're here is actually to invite you for a banquet."

'Here it comes!'

Aiden's heart skipped a beat.

This was probably their true motive!

Lockster Kong continued, "The elders of our three immortal sects have heard of your reputation for a long time as well. They've prepared a banquet specially for you and we'd like to invite you for a gathering."

Needless to think, this was definitely a banquet of no return!

Goil Hon of Dark Thunder Sect was nearly killed by Aiden.

The Purple Thunder Manual was in his possession as well – how could Dark Thunder Sect be so kind as to invite him for a banquet?

The battle beneath the Ancient One's Palace 20 years ago shocked the world.

Successors of the righteous, religious and evil sects were left dead and injured.

The successors of two major immortal sects, Purple Firmament Sect and Clear Wind Temple, died in Aiden's hands!

In other words, the three major immortal sects before them, Dark Thunder Sect, Purple Firmament Sect and Clear Wind Temple, all had grudges with Aiden in one way or another!

It was easy for him to attend the banquet, but he would most likely be left with no choice after attending.

Naturally, there was no way Aiden would be deceived by a plot as such.

He sneered internally and was about to decline when Lockster Kong gave a sudden smile and said slowly, "This is the goodwill of the elders of our three major immortal sects. I'm sure you will give them some face, right, Young Master Aiden?"

"Hmm?"

Aiden's expression changed slightly.

He felt a chill run down his spine after Lockster Kong finished speaking and he was alarmed internally as a cold killing intent engulfed him!

At least three killing intents were fixed on him at that instant!

Aiden finally understood the meaning behind the invitation.

However, the invitation came from the Martial Grandmaster Perfected Lords of the three major immortal sects!

If he declined right away, it would be equivalent to disrespect towards the three Martial Grandmasters!

The Martial Grandmasters of the three major immortal sects would have a reason to attack him!

Private duels were forbidden in Myriad Phenomenon City.lights

However, those restrictions meant little to the Martial Grandmasters – they could make a move as long as they had a reason to justify it!

There were many seals in Myriad Phenomenon City that could prevent the detection from the outside world and it was like a pocket dimension of its own. Even if the Martial Grandmasters attacked with their full powers, they would not cause dimensional tears!

The Martial Grandmasters in Myriad Phenomenon City were not Sealers in their twilight years.

These were also no ordinary Martial Grandmasters.

They were Perfected Lords of various super sects and came from the immortal sects – these were people with countless trump cards and terrifying means available to them!

Naturally, at the end of the day, it was because Aiden did not have any powerful backing or the support of Martial Grandmasters.

He remained silent as his mind surged rapidly, considering the pros and cons of his options.

At that moment, a single wrong statement from him could bring about attacks from Martial Grandmasters!

"What a savage scheme, they're not leaving Aiden any way out at all."

"That's right, he's doomed whether he accepts or refuses the invitation."

The crowd had gone silent as well and only a few martial artists were left whispering.

"Are you attending or not, hurry and reply!" William Fern hollered impatiently.

His killing intent had already reached its peak after the death of the Hook Snake that he had reared for many years!

Lockster Kong gave a cold smile as well. "Young Master Aiden, aren't you someone that's decisive to kill? Why have you gone so cowardly such that you don't even dare to accept an invitation?"

"It's not because he doesn't dare to,"

At that moment, a woman's voice sounded from outside the crowd.

Immediately after, dozens of female martial artists passed through the crowd briskly and the temperature on the long streets dipped!

The martial artists wore snow-white robes that were spotless and each of them had extraordinary features. Graceful and elegant, the only thing was that their expressions were cold as ice.

"Eh? Martial artists of Snowdrift Valley."

"What are they doing here?"

"Could they be here to take revenge on Aiden as well?"

Many martial artists discussed softly.

Aiden swept his gaze across.

The leader of the group of Snowdrift Valley female martial artists looked familiar.

Running through his memories, Aiden recalled that person before long.

Under the Ancient One's Palace, there was a martial artist from Snowdrift Valley that attacked him as well. It was this female martial artist and her name seemed to be Leila Han.

Lockster Kong frowned slightly and cupped his fists before asking with a raised voice, "What did you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Leila Han?"

Leila Han walked closer with her group of martial artists before nodding to Aiden. She then turned to Lockster Kong and William Fern and replied indifferently, "It's not because Young Master Aiden does not dare to accept your invitation, it's because he has accepted Snowdrift Valley's invitation to a banquet earlier on. You guys are too late."

A look of surprise flashed through Aiden's eyes.

He had not seen any martial artists of Snowdrift Valley after entering the ancient battlefield, much less agree to attend a banquet of theirs.

However, Aiden did not expose her and merely stood silently at the side as he watched.

He had a vague feeling that Snowdrift Valley was not here for revenge, but to save him!

Lockster Kong frowned. "Leila Han, what's the meaning of this? The Martial Grandmasters of our three major sects have invited him personally, what's your business being here?"

"Humph!"

Leila Han sneered coldly, "There's an order to things. So what if you guys are from the immortal sects? Snowdrift Valley is part of the immortal sects as well! Furthermore, this is the wish of our elder, old master Luo Jue!"

There was an obvious shift in Lockster Kong and William Fern's expressions at the mention of Perfected Lord Luo Jue – a hint of cautiousness and fear could be seen from the depths of their eyes.

At the same time, Aiden could vaguely sense with his spirit perception that another aura had appeared in the voids. It was extremely chilling and protected Aiden's group, facing the other three murderous auras in a stand-off!

This 'aura' was the spirit consciousness that only Martial Grandmasters possessed!

The three auras previously should have been from Martial Grandmasters of Dark Thunder Sect, Purple Firmament Sect and Clear Wind Temple.

The aura that came later on was from Perfected Lord Luo Jue!
