Chapter 1116 Huge Difference! (2)

Ace felt awed as he looked at the grand flying ship with an emblem of rainbow flames on its frame, which was flying towards the spirit stone mines before vanishing completely.

However, at this moment, 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 something 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 became 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 mean 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.

As Ace reached the deeper, the courtyards became 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 some 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 moment, Ace was carefully evaluating those courtyards when he saw something strange. All the guards standing outside the house collectively showed different expressions.

Under Ace's curious gaze, he saw that the very next moment, fires suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of those guards. The next moment, Ace suddenly felt the road under him start to vibrate a little, and he heard a faint voice of something incoming.

But this seemed to trigger some kind of strange phenomenon 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 something to do with the sound that had drawn them near this place quite quickly.

"Is there someone 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 come out of their comfort zone. Maybe this was even the chance he was looking for to get out of this city!
