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.
