1119 Incoming Crisis (2)
Ace's expression was terrifyingly solemn when he felt the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar Heavenly Qi and Heavenly Punishment aura appearing out of nowhere. It was unfair because this aura and Qi were far more formidable and potent.
'Just what in the world is happening?!' Ace started to feel uneasy and felt a sense of urgency as if he had to leave the range of this aura or he would be in deep trouble.
Furthermore, it wasn't just him who was feeling this; he was the only one who was fine because Pascal, who was talking with him, suddenly lost consciousness the moment he was exposed to this aura. Updated chapters at novelhall.com
"Big Bro, I feel uncomfortable!" Cyrus whimpered, trembling slightly and sticking close to Ace's neck to find some solace. Ace's expression darkened even more because it was the first time that the fearless Cyrus had said something like this.
"Go back, you've done well. I'll bring you out soon." Ace gently stroked Cyrus's head with his finger to calm him down before sending him away.
'I can't stay here any longer!' Ace quickly decided and threw caution to the wind. He used the formation to scan the unconscious Pascal's appearance and disguised himself as him before leaving the carriage.
Outside, the carriage stood around fifty meters away from the colossal bronze gates built between towering walls, and the city guards who were about to open the door after seeing the carriage were kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear with paled expressions.
The carriage driver and the beasts drawing the carriage were in a similar situation. In fact, almost all the people in the city were in the same situation; the bustling marketplace suddenly fell silent, and birds started to drop from the sky!
When Ace, in Pascal's disguise, stepped outside the carriage, the guards and the driver were shocked. He seemed completely unaffected by this strange aura.
However, Ace didn't have time to pay them any heed as he directly looked towards the location where the aura was the strongest and his eyes widened with shock.
But then, why could Pascal move? That was something everything present here wanted to know.
Ace quickly grabbed the formation plate and, without caring about anything, quickly activated it; he wanted to leave this damn city quickly. Even if others found out about him, he couldn't care less since no one knew what he looked like except for Kai, and he was pretty sure Kai wouldn't sell him out if he didn't want to offend his 'master.'
Under everyone's startled expression, the sealed gates suddenly started to open!
Ace was anxiously looking towards the opening gates as he found them extremely slow and quickly glanced towards the golden phantom and was startled at this moment when he saw its size had grown even more, or it was just his mind playing tricks on him, which he knew was impossible.
All of a sudden, a man's ethereal voice rang in everyone's ears as if he were whispering right beside them.
"I, Heaven's Advocate, am here to pass the Heavenly Judgement to sinners and bring justice to pitiful!
"If you have committed some atrocious and wronged anyone of their rights, then admit while you can and repent for your sins! If you are a victim of someone else's atrocities or suffer injustice, let Heaven hear it!
"Trial of Justice shall commence now!"
The moment the voice trailed off, the golden phantom's stoic expression suddenly started to radiate a sorrowful expression, and the scales in its hands started to release powerful undulations before golden and white lights started to spread all over the sky and form a dome of golden and white colors!
'I knew something was off about him!' Ace's heart palpitated as he suddenly felt dread from those two lights quickly approaching the city gates. Without hesitation, he dashed towards the opening in the gates without waiting any longer.
He had a feeling that if he was caught under that barrier, things might turn extremely hectic for him!
