Ace felt awed as he looked at the grand flying ship with an emblem of rainbow flas on its fra, which was flying towards the spirit stone mines before vanishing completely.
However, at this mont, Ace looked towards the city direction and saw one after another, four more flying ships with different emblems appeared magically and with terrible speed, headed towards the mines right where the first flying ship had vanished.
"Are there also powerful people on those ships?" Ace asked dryly. He didn't know what was going on, but he had a nagging feeling that it had sothing to do with that mysterious Heaven's Advocate.
"Yes, they are powerful!" Cyrus nodded in affirmation before proudly declaring, "But don't worry, big bro; I can protect you. If they dare to bully you, I'll burn them all and those strange birds!"
"Heh, I feel more at ease now." Ace chuckled while gently rubbing the little guy's head with his finger.
But his expression beca stern again as he saw those four ships vanishing behind the tall mountains where the spirit stone mines were located.
'Just how powerful is that guy for them to call this kind of force, and why is he against them? Furthermore, why was he here? Well, I guess I should thank my luck that I got out before I could bump into him.
'But this is not good either. If those guys had already alerted their sects, then this could only an there might be more powerful people on their way here. I should quickly leave this place before this blows up out of proportion.' "Let's go and keep an eye out for anything powerful, just like you did now. We need to avoid them at all costs." Ace sternly ordered, and Cyrus nodded.
Since Moira was out of commission at this mont, he decided to rely on Cyrus instead since he wasn't restricted.
Ace and Cyrus quickly made their way toward the city, not too far away from his position.
There weren't any walls or regions to distributes the residents of the city like the disciples except the Inner-City Disciples, they were in the middle of this Sect Alliance City and that place was actually underground!
The rest of the city, on the surface, was divided into four sectors: the Nominal or Servant Sector in the West, the Outer Disciple Sector in the North, the Elder Sector in the East, and the Mines Sector in the South. Ace exited the mines from the opposite direction. The sector where he was heading was actually the Elder Sector, where people like Lonnie with the status or like mine managers, outer city instructors that teach the outer city disciple and sotis even the nominal city disciple, city managent stuff like the city guard captain, people from the city law departnt, and such have residents.
In simple words, they were long past their pri for advancing their cultivation anymore and missed their chance to enter a sect. So, they all devoted their lives to the Sect Alliance City and climbed its ranks to live a life of luxury and authority. Furthermore, most of the people here were at least a Soul Manifestation Realm cultivator and the highest realm cultivators were here at the peak of the Law Comprehension Realm, and there weren't just one but many!
Ace also noticed this as he approached closer to the bustling sector. He found that the people walking around were mostly middle-aged, so of them even old n and won, and their auras were quite easy to asure for soone like him.
'Where is this place? Where are the nominal city disciples? Could it be I exit sowhere different? Well, I guess it doesn't matter since they won't be able to see through my formation. In fact, I think it's quite great since I can easily hide in this place where the superiors live, and no one will be there to investigate as long as I choose my target well. Or I can simply use their identity to leave this place for good!'
Ace beca excited and quickly used the illusion formation to make himself invisible as well. Although he was planning to mingle with the disciples first, he changed his mind after thinking about how he would be wasting the formation if he used it for re disguise when he could use it to walk around freely and do anything.
When Ace started to walk around the paved mountain roads, no one noticed him, as he and Cyrus were curiously looking around on the streets. There wasn't much to see since most of the surrounding structures were courtyards, and these people seed to be leaving for work or sothing else.
As Ace reached the deeper, the courtyards beca bigger and more luxurious, while the crowd started to decline until there was none. He entered a peaceful mountain road with grand courtyards around it, and he even saw guards standing at the gates.
'Is this so high-end area for high-ranking officers of the city?' Ace mused as he started to evaluate the importance of the person living in these courtyards by the cultivation of their guards. He really missed his soul probe thought.
At this mont, Ace was carefully evaluating those courtyards when he saw sothing strange. All the guards standing outside the house collectively showed different expressions.
Under Ace's curious gaze, he saw that the very next mont, fires suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of those guards. The next mont, Ace suddenly felt the road under him start to vibrate a little, and he heard a faint voice of sothing incoming.
But this seed to trigger so kind of strange phenonon when the front gates of the courtyards suddenly started to open one after another, and people in luxurious clothing, followed by their servants, started to stand in front of their gates with respectful expressions and a hint of fear present in their eyes.
'What is going on?' Ace wondered, as he didn't know why they all were reacting this way. But he knew it had sothing to do with the sound that had drawn them near this place quite quickly.
"Is there soone powerful coming this way?" He asked Cyrus sternly as he also got out of the way and hid himself.
"No, they are all weak as twigs!" Cyrus shook his head disdainfully.
Ace was relieved, but he was curious nonetheless as he looked towards the diagonal road to see who was coming to make these high-ranking people directly co out of their comfort zone. Maybe this was even the chance he was looking for to get out of this city!
