Eternal Thief

Chapter 1270 A New Quasi Lord!

After a few hours in the portal hall, no one had moved ever since Ace had entered the second portal, as they were all curious about why Ace wanted to enter the Forger Abyss. They all have their own speculations, though.

At this moment, the second portal suddenly flickered and churned, drawing everyoneʼs attention. The next moment, Ace walked out of the portal.

When Vincent saw this, he sighed in relief. His expression changed slightly, and his eyes narrowed because Ace now didnʼt look exhausted at all as when he entered the portal. It was as if nothing had happened.

Even someone like Vincent, who knew the ins and outs of the Forger Abyss, didnʼt have any idea what was going on or if the Forger Abyss could heal someone so quickly.

But when he thought about it more clearly, a hint of realization flashed past his eyes, ʼCould it be he exchanged for a powerful soul pill by passing the second trial? After all, since heʼs a nominal legacy disciple, heʼs qualified to make an exchange with the Guardian Spirit as long as he passes the trial. But why would he waste this chance to heal himself when he can clearly demand it from the bank? Just what is this brat up to?”

Despite Ace ʼrevealingʼ everything about himself, Vincent always had this strange feeling that something was not right. From the beginning, Ace never struck him as the type who would sacrifice himself for others or put himself in danger or a disadvantageous position.

It was like everything was under Aceʼs control from the start to the beginning.

However, when these thoughts surfaced in his mind, he quickly dismissed them since he had witnessed everything and felt somewhat ashamed for thinking this way.

Even Deputy Guardian was surprised when he saw Ace walking out completely healed, and he wondered if the information they had on the Forger Abyss was missing something.

Thatʼs right. The Bank knew about the Forger Abyss, and not only that, but they had all the information about the secret realms controlled by any sect. It wasnʼt just the bank; all the powerful sects kept this information.

Whenever a secret realm emerged, these top sects naturally investigated it thoroughly because if a powerful secret realm appeared, they would instantly make a move and would not allow some lowly sect to have it.

The Forger Abyss only remained because they all deemed it unworthy of making them move. After all, this secret realm only contained the legacy of an ordinary 7-star spirit forger, and they even had information on this legacy owner.

But they naturally wonʼt reveal it to the AIG Sect, and now that the Deputy Guardian had personally witnessed how Aceʼs ʼexhausted soulʼ had healed completely in a matter of hours, which should only be possible with a precious Ascension grade-7 pill, he started to doubt the information they had on Forger Abyss.

Nonetheless, he canʼt show it and only decides to mention it to the headquarters, and they can decide what to do with it. Right now, he wants to take away Ace as soon as possible, claim rewards, and, most importantly, get out of this barren domain!

Ace was expecting this kind of reaction, but he wasnʼt too worried since this would also explain why he wanted to enter the Forger Abyss, and he didnʼt need to explain anything.

He walked towards Vincent and quickly bowed, ”Thank you, teacher!”

Vincent unknowingly pulled a gratified smile as he nodded, ”You shouldʼve told me sooner. But no worries, Iʼm glad you can take care of yourself. Iʼll be more at ease once you go to the king sect. Just donʼt be reckless.”

Ace nodded as he glanced at Vincent. He had already paid Vincent for giving him that knowledge and protection, and he owed him nothing now.

Furthermore, he knew the Forger Abyss would soon cease to exist since the Spirit Guardian had made a huge mistake by letting him stay inside, causing the AIG Sect to lose its most important. resource-gathering spot. But he didnʼt care about the AIG Sect as a whole since this place was rotten to the core.

Ace then looked at Deputy Guardian and casually said, ”Iʼm ready”

Deputy Guardian deeply glanced at Ace, who seemed to be acting as if his soul search had never happened at all. This made him think as if he was looking for something. But just like Vincent, he believed everything he personally saw. After his soul search, he couldnʼt find any fault with Ace, so he ignored his natural instinct as a Quasi-Ascension Lord.

But before Deputy Guardian could reply, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he narrowed them dangerously. He instantly twisted his head towards the closed entrance of the portal hall.

”You dare to spy on here?!” He snorted coldly before a terrifying spiritual pressure burst out of his body as he locked on that certain area.

The Deputy Guardian naturally alarmed everyone, and their expressions changed when they heard someone dare to spy on them. Even Ace was startled by this unexpected situation and wondered who was bold enough to spy there.

”Hahaha, youʼre too serious, Deputy Guardian Norman. This little sister was just curious” A bell-like laughter suddenly rang from the entrance, and the next moment, the space suddenly seemed to have cut open like curtains, and a curvaceous figure of a woman in a veil walked out. But the Deputy Guardianʼs expression already changed because this woman knew his name, which meant she was someone of the same standing. Her background wasnʼt any worse than his, and her walking under his spiritual pressure was proof of it. This woman was a Quasi-Ascensions Lord! The Grand Elders were dumbfounded. This entire thing was turning into a huge mess, with one strange thing happening after another, and now another powerful figure suddenly appeared. Furthermore, this woman was able to come here while completely going undetected by the Guardian Spirit, and with how casually she was talking to the Deputy Guardian, anyone would guess they knew each other, or at least that woman knew him.

But this made the woman even more mysterious, as despite knowing who the Deputy Guard was, she still dared be so carefree.

At this moment, the Deputy Guardianʼs eyes flashed with a hint of realization. When he saw the woman wearing flowery robes, her long blond hair like strands of gold, and golden eyes, he instantly guessed who she was and her background.

”You are from the Sun Clan of the Sun and Moon King Valley?” He coldly questioned.

The womanʼs eyes curled like a crescent moon. She was defiantly smiling, and she didnʼt deny it at all. She nodded, ”Itʼs quite an honor for our Sun and Moon King Valley to be known by the Prime Heavenly Wealth King Sect. Iʼm Eleanor Sun, an Inner Valley Disciple of the Sun Valley!”

ʼSun and Moon King Valley and Prime Heavenly Wealth King Sect... Aceʼs eyes widened slightly like everyone else because the title ʼKingʼ could only be used by third-grade sects.

This also made it quite clear that this woman was also from the King Sect!
