"I am your rescuer," the man replied, a subtle smile playing upon his lips. He adjusted his hold on her, shifting her position. As he did so, the ropes binding her fell away, and he cradled her securely in one arm.
The sudden appearance of this individual sent ripples of shock through the crowd. The Grand Elder, who had previously encountered the man, was particularly stunned. His eyes widened with fear as he exclaimed, "That is the wandering cultivator residing in the guest house!"
Upon hearing this revelation, the martial sect members exchanged grave glances. One of the venerable elders observed, "He bypassed the barrier with ease. Our barrier, he traversed it effortlessly."
