After the Union Leader took the Heavenly Oath, all auras quickly retracted, and Ace, who was carefully walking in the rubble of the Above Mountain Palace, felt like a massive mountain had lifted over his shoulders.
Ace looked at the reaming ti with a hurried expression.
=====
[00:02:01]
=====
'Two minutes?' Ace frowned a little.
Although the ti was short because of the ruined state of the palace, he was quite optimistic about finding that orb within the remaining ti. The problem will co after the ti is over.
'The last ti, when I had used the teleportation, that orb guardian instantly noticed . So those guys would, too. Well, I have few options, and I hope I don't have to use the worst one…' Ace thought gravely.
But he focused entirely on the Wind Orb location, which seed to be a few hundred ters away from his current position. He had to claim that orb before he could think about the other thing.
The palace was in a very delicate state, as if it would crumble down entirely with a gust of wind. Furthermore, Moon Mountain was still sinking, and only the final cloud ring remained.
Ace wanted to get out of here before the palace touched the ground and save so ti of devil's horn enough to get out of here.
Despite its ruined state, the palace was like a maze, and without the fate map, it would've been hard for Ace to navigate his way toward the Wind Orb.
However, after twenty seconds, Ace's study steps ca to a standstill because he t with a cracked wall, and there was no way ahead like the map was showing him.
But then he noticed a strangeness; a section of the wall was completely fine, and Ace's eyes shimred with understanding, 'It's a trap door…'
Without hesitation, Ace tried to push that section of the wall, and thereby, it slowly shifted inwardly. After he pushed it open completely, a narrow stairway going downwards was revealed.
Ace entered the stairway before carefully closing the door and heading down with an ecstasy. He never thought it would be so easy to infiltrate this place after the formation was destroyed.
Furthermore, this place seed to be made from sturdy material and wasn't damaged by the collision at all, or it could also be the case because of the formation destruction; the outer layer of Above Mountain Palace has suffered so damage.
Whatever the case was, things were going in his favor, so he didn't think much of it, and he was getting very close to the Wind Orb.
Thereupon, Ace appeared at the end of the staircase and entered a dimly lit space. His eyes suddenly widened when he saw right at the end of the place was a 10-cubic ter golden door filled with complex rune symbols. The Wind Orb was behind that door!
'Don't tell it's the treasury of the Above Mountain Palace?' Ace's heart raced as he approached the door with anticipation.
However, his heart sank when he tried to probe behind the door, but his thief sense, even the heavenly sense, was completely blocked, and he knew whatever formation was protecting that door hadn't stopped working at all!
'What the hell am I supposed to do?' Ace grimaced since he didn't have ti to crack that door, nor did he think he could because that formation protecting it was at least a low-grade-8 formation!
Then a sudden revelation hit him, 'It might be feasible!'
The next mont, Ace quickly approached the door, and after making sure it wasn't dangerous, he placed his hand on the door. The next mont, he tried to stow it into his thief's space!
It wasn't like he didn't have ample space for this treasury in his thief's space, and he had already tested this thod before.
He was confident that once this treasury with the wind orb was inside his thief's space system, he could easily absorb the wind orb once he was ready, and nothing could block the system!
The very next mont thereafter, the massive door trembled slightly before it instantly vanished into his thief's space, leaving behind a 10X50 ter wide empty space!
Thereafter, the system's static voice sounded in his head,

Ace's lips rose in a victorious smile, 'I finally got it!'
The massive TP reward was a bonus. Although now he would leave a thief symbol behind revealing his true identity, it doesn't matter anymore as it can't be helped.
He was going to turn around to quickly leave this place since only thirty seconds were left on the clock before the devil's horn would have deactivated. Suddenly, the Sun Chaser and the Moon Seeker Token, which he was carrying in a space ring in his hand because he needed it to keep connected with the Moon Realm so the God Envoy wouldn't play any tricks, trembled!
Ace was astounded by this sudden reaction because he thought this token would turn unless once he was done with the Moon Secret Realm, but now it suddenly started to react like crazy and right when the treasury was gone.
He was going to ignore it since it was too risky to take it out and was stowing it away to the thief's space, where it would lose all connection with the outside world, when a creaking sound of sothing shifting rang.
Ace's eyes instantly followed that sound, and he was baffled when he saw in the middle of the empty treasury space that rune symbols were shimring!
Soon, the runes started to turn into a red-purple swirl, just like the portals present in the Sun and Moon Secret Realm that led to trials.
'What the hell is going on? Don't tell there is another secret realm hidden below this treasury?' Ace thought with bafflent since it was completely unexpected, and now he understood why the token in the space ring trembled so violently.
His ti was running out, and now he was in a dilemma about whether to enter this unknown portal or not. He knew it was related to the Union inheritance, and he was the successor, and without these certain conditions, this portal might never have opened.
It was also at this mont when Ace's sharp ears picked a faint noise from the stairway behind, and his expression turned pale as he looked at the life and saw all the black fate points were now coming down here.
'I'll be damned!'
Ace knew his escape plane had gone in the winds, and even if he used the teleportation formation or the talismans, it was impossible to escape so many powerful people.
So, looking at the portal, Ace sighed ruefully and sprinted towards it before vanishing into it.
The mont he entered, the portal instantly closed, leaving behind a small hole in the ground, and right at this mont, the thief symbol appeared majestically on the wall.
On one wing was written his thief's na, while on the other, Ace left three simple words in the farewell note, 'So long, Master!'
It was ti for the Union to know about the existence of the notorious thief, Sky Stealer!
