Jaxon Roth’s entire face turned the color of a pig’s liver, unsightly to the extreme.
Already in the wrong and unable to win the fight, having his wounds exposed and rubbed with salt, how could he not be uncomfortable?
"I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare, Peak Master Cameron Hunter, please calm your anger!"
Jaxon Roth endured the awkwardness.
What else could he do if he couldn’t endure?
Even the Sect Master had a headache facing Delaney Hunter, let alone him; it would be strange if he could withstand it!
Delaney Hunter’s gaze swept over the hundreds of spectators, and she said coldly, "Anyone who wants to trouble the disciples of Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak, fine, peers or those willing participants, it’s your own business if you get killed or injured, I’m too lazy to intervene. But those who rely on their backgrounds to bully others, those who are shameless enough to use their power against the young when they can’t win themselves—that I will not tolerate. I won’t care whether you are old or young; I’ll clean up all of you!"
With a sweep of her phoenix eyes, the hundreds of people at the scene turned their heads aside or looked down, none daring to meet her gaze.
The people of Myriad Phenomena Sect were even more humiliated, Katherine Reid looked resentful, holding her head low, biting her lip, but not daring to explode in anger, because when Delaney Hunter said she would cripple someone, it was not empty talk.
If she dared to blow up, Delaney would truly cripple her!
A woman who dared to strike even the Sect Master, would she care about the daughter of an elder?
Among the crowd, there were also a small number of disciples from Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak, each with bright eyes, looking at Delaney Hunter with admiration.
Carson Flores’s mood relaxed, as he silently felt grateful.
To think that she’s so young and beautiful, but her might is far from slight; by herself, she made an appearance and no one among the hundreds, including high-ranking members of the Sect or powerful individuals, dared to talk back!
This might is all thanks to her fighting alone with her sword, truly super impressive!
Delaney Hunter then said, "I will also be strolling around in the Secret Realm. Disciples of Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak, if any of you have a Distress Talisman, you can bind it to me now. If you encounter danger, release the talisman, and I will try my best to rescue you."
Carson Flores blinked, was that meant for him?
Hadn’t she given him a Distress Talisman before?
Carson Flores didn’t hesitate, took out the Distress Talisman, infused it with Spiritual Energy, and a wave of mental fluctuation extended, locking onto Delaney Hunter. From then on, should he encounter danger, he only needed to release the Distress Talisman, and it would follow this trace to reach Delaney Hunter.
After everyone had finished binding their Distress Talismans, Delaney Hunter did not converse with Carson Flores but floated directly into the entrance of the valley, disappearing into the thick fog.
As soon as Delaney Hunter left, discussions immediately erupted.
"She’s never done this before, why the sudden change of heart?"
"Exactly, she used to completely ignore the disciples of Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak, and now she’s suddenly so protective. Could it be because of this kid who came from the human realms?"
"This kid really has some skills. Coming from the outside, he actually possesses the strength of the Golden Core Realm; that’s ten times harder than us cultivating here to reach the Golden Core Realm."
"Wasn’t the technique he just used the Sword Veil? It feels somewhat familiar, could it be that he’s a disciple of Peak Master Cameron Hunter?"
"No way, right? If that’s the case, she would have said so."
On the edge of the crowd, Carson Flores and Situ Xiu were also discussing.
Situ Xiu’s eyes were slightly red: "Brother Carson, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would definitely not have been able to keep my leg today, and what’s most important, I would have endured that woman’s humiliation."
Carson Flores smiled: "We’re all men, I understand!"
Situ Xiu pursed his lips, not dwelling on the topic, but his heart had already recognized Carson Flores as a brother he could entrust his life to.
Situ Xiu changed the subject: "You handled those three Flying Swords easily with a single stroke of your sword just now. I feel like you’ve become a lot stronger than before..."
Carson Flores did not hide it from him: "The Peak Master gifted me the basics of the Sword Veil Cultivation Technique in a Jade Slip. These past ten days, I have been practicing it and had quite a few insights."
Situ Xiu’s eyes widened in astonishment: "Is the Peak Master taking you as a disciple?"
Carson Flores said with a smile: "During my adventure in the fallen realm at Liangchang Mountain Cave Heaven, I obtained a legacy from a predecessor, including his Cultivation Technique. So, I am his disciple. The Cave Master knows him and appreciates him quite a bit, so perhaps for that reason, she instructed the Peak Master to take care of me somewhat."
Situ Xiu finally understood why, even though Carson Flores was a newcomer, Delaney Hunter had suddenly changed her style and came out to take a strong stand for him when he was bullied.
As they were talking, Katherine Reid approached with a swollen face, her eyes filled with venomous craziness.
Being extremely vain by nature, now having her face slapped in front of hundreds of people by Carson Flores had completely embarrassed her.
She could already imagine becoming the laughingstock of all Cultivators and even ordinary people, who might not dare say anything to her face, but would certainly ridicule her behind her back.
All of this was caused by the man in front of her!
Carson Flores turned his head to look at Katherine Reid, smiling slightly: "See, I told you, not willing to give a hand, the one ending up embarrassed might not necessarily be Situ Xiu."
Katherine Reid’s eyes were fierce: "Don’t think you’re safe just because someone’s protecting you. Even among peers, there are many stronger than you, and it would be easy to take care of you. I’m telling you, this isn’t over yet!"
