Chapter 502: Meeting Again With Sect Master Kang
The four guards saw someone approaching and instantly became alert. Given the current situation, they had to remain wary of anyone who came near. With devils infiltrating many places, they could not predict what kind of act might be carried out—even here.
"Halt! State your identity," one of the guards said as he finally got a clear look at Aldrian.
However, there was something about Aldrian that felt familiar, and the other guards shared the same thought.
"Tell Sect Master Kang that Aldrian is here to see him." Aldrian responded calmly.
The moment they heard the name, it was as if thunder struck in their minds. Everything suddenly clicked. Now they understood why Aldrian seemed familiar—he was the one who had become the center of attention recently. His identity had been revealed as the mysterious swordsman, and the uproar he caused had shaken the continent.
Realizing that Aldrian was the real deal, one of the guards ran inside while the others looked at him with unconcealed respect. Even though they were demonic cultivators, they could not help but be impressed by his strength and the achievements from his battles. In the demon territory, strength played the most important role in their daily lives.
A few minutes later, the guard returned and approached Aldrian before bowing deeply.
"The Sect Master is waiting for you in the special guest place. Allow me to escort you, young master," he said. Aldrian responded with a nod.
He finally entered the Black Dragon Pavilion, and beyond the wall, he saw a sprawling complex of buildings arranged like a city. The place was bustling with activity, much like any ordinary city—but the people here were all disciples of the Black Dragon Pavilion. With tens of thousands of them living and training in this remote location, it was no surprise the sect functioned like an independent city.
He was then led to a carriage already waiting for him near the gate, and it began moving down the road.
As Aldrian was escorted by a guard in the carriage, he drew the attention of many disciples. They could not help but wonder who was important enough to receive such treatment. This kind of escort was reserved only for distinguished guests, and they had not heard anything about an important visitor arriving today.
