As a result, Lumi and the other sisters quickly greeted Preston. With the Hexa Swordmaiden's position in the world of cultivators, they would always think very highly and arrogantly of themselves, even when they met the sect masters from the Three Major Sects. One would not expect them to be so humble as they were then.
However, Preston was different. He was a legend in the world of cultivators 20 years ago. He was an existence that was incomparable to those from the sects. Even though the Hexa Swordmaidens were also very famous in the world of cultivators, Preston was on a different level. That was why the Hexa Swordmaidens were so humble in front of him.
However, Preston only gave them a passing glance, as if he did not want to care about them, even when they were trying to make a good impression. To him, the most important thing was to learn Celestial Swordsmanship from Darryl; everything else was secondary.
Alora and her sisters exchanged glances. Their beautiful faces revealed their embarrassment at Preston's indifferent reaction. Usually, they would cause a commotion wherever they went, but not then. They could not do anything because they were up against the legendary Saber Saint.
Alora took a step forward, embarrassed, and asked, "Are you here because of the underground city of the Heavenly Secret Palace?"
Then she humbly pointed at Lindsey and said, "That young lady is a descendant of the Heavenly Secret Palace. She possessed the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret, which contained the enigmatic cultivation method. You can bring that little girl with you if you want, and we will not stop you. But we have a score to settle with that guy. I hope you will not interfere with this."
From their point of view, the Saber Saint had been living in seclusion for 20 years and had only recently reappeared to pursue the mysterious cultivation method from the Heavenly Secret Palace. As a result, they decided it was best to grant his wish while also making a good impression on him.
They had wanted to have the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret for themselves. However, they were aware of their capabilities. They were doomed to fail if they fought the Saber Saint for the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret. So, they decided to sacrifice that to make a good impression on the man. Regardless, they were not going to let Darryl go. Saber Saint was a powerful man, so there was no way he would have known Darryl and defended him.
Preston's eyes widened at that moment. "You want to kill him?" he said coldly to Alora, pointing his finger at Darryl.
"Yes." Alora immediately nodded, a beautiful smile on her face. "Don't worry. We do not care about the little girl or the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret." Alora's hands were drenched in sweat by that point. 'He is, without a doubt, the Saber Saint. His eyes are razor-sharp and terrifying.'
Preston took a deep breath and walked quickly to stand in front of Darryl, remaining respectful throughout. "Those women want to kill you, Master. Should I deal with them on your behalf?" While he was speaking, he steadily extended his hand to grasp the Great Sword.
Suddenly, a terrifying sword aura appeared, filling heaven and earth.
'What?' When Alora saw it, her body trembled, and she staggered a few steps backward. She almost fell to the ground because how the man had looked at Darryl was unbelievable. Lumi and the other sisters' expressions changed dramatically as they worried they had misheard it.
'What…what did Saber Saint say? Did he call Darryl his master? Based on their age, Saber Saint was at least a few decades older than Darryl. How did Darryl become his master? How is that possible?'
The Hexa Swordsmaidens exchanged astonished and shocked looks. They were both terrified at the same time. 'We are doomed.'
They believed that they could defeat Darryl by working together, but the Saber Saint was in the same line as Darryl. How could they possibly fight both of them?
Preston had defeated numerous cultivators and was considered unbeatable with his Sword Blast. His swordsmanship ability must have improved over the last 20 years. Even if every elite disciple of Belladonna Palace were there to support them, they would not be able to defeat him. The elite disciples would only be there to be executed.
