Chapter 1188: Malicious Intent



The hall where the portals of the Forger Abyss Secret Realm were located was completely empty at this moment, and this was the case for almost three days. Not only the disciples but even the elders were curious about the sudden close of the place since it seldom happened. The last time this kind of thing happened was when a core disciple or a Chief Forger Disciple of a Forger Master entered the Forger Abyss.

As for what happened afterward, it was a well-guarded secret among the Forger Masters and Flame Masters. But one thing that everyone knows is that after that day, the same Chief Forger Disciple climbed the Chief Forger Disciple ranks like a shooting star and became the current first-ranked Chief Forger Disciple of the entire sect!

So, everyone was paying close attention to this, especially the Flame Masters and Forger Masters, while the others relied on their connections.

At this moment, the first portal of the Forger Abyss suddenly lit up, and the next moment, a young man in plain robes walked out of it into the empty hall; it was obviously Ace in George's disguise.

Ace was in a good mood at this moment since he not only qualified as a Legacy Disciple, but as a reward for passing the entry trial, he got an exclusive forging technique, which was actually just a tiny part of Grandmaster Smith's complete technique. He was also able to keep the Spirit Aqua Armor he had forged.

Although it was far from enough, Ace was content since he knew he could take his time to acquire the entire treasury of the secret realm. That's why he also decided to heed the Guardian Spirit's advice and come back later when he was able to forge an ascension grade-2 treasure, and he knew it wouldn't take long.

'So, no one is here?' Ace was surprised when he noticed the empty hall.

He thought those elders would be waiting outside for him to see his result, but there was no one. He suddenly remembered that voice, and his expression became somewhat dignified.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At this moment, Ace was about to investigate with his fate map when he sensed something. Suddenly, a bony old man with fiery long hair and a beard in white golden robes appeared a few meters away from him. It was Forger Master Clifton!

Ace was startled. He instantly felt terror from that old man, and he seemed to be completely merged with the space around him as if he were one with laws.

Unfathomable, this was the true feeling he got from the old man, and he knew he wasn't his match. No matter what kind of trick he pulled, he could only retreat. When Ace noticed the five golden stars pulsing on his collar, he quickly guessed the identity of this old man.

The pressure on Ace instantly vanished, but he was more bewildered when he saw this scene played out and wondered if the spirit in his mask had taken action. After all, he was now more aware of the treasure spirits after forging and testing the Spirit Aqua Armor, and the treasure spirit of a Heavenly Treasure would be clearly above a normal treasure spirit.

But he quickly removed this thought from his head since he knew the mask was simply too weak right now, nor did he feel any kind of undulation from it. In fact, it was not an attack- type treasure to begin with.

Someone had helped him, and this someone was even more powerful than this Ascension Grandmaster.

At this moment, Forger Master Clifton quickly popped a pill in his mouth and stabilized his condition, his eyes filled with stupefaction and humiliation. The former was because he couldn't believe that 'it' made a move against him just for nobody, while the latter was because it did it right in front of George, and he lost all face.

Yet, he knew he had provoked it, and it wouldn't be good for him if he entirely offended it. After all, as an old sly fox, he knew when he retreats and when to advance. If his early actions were to find George's secret before he became an official disciple and why that person took interest in him. Now, he was sure that George was special, and he needed to be more careful and more prepared.

So, he quickly got up and bowed before apologizing, "Thank you for showing mercy. This disciple was only testing the new disciple and had gone overboard!"

Ace was again shocked, but he didn't say anything; he just watched the show while coldly glaring at the old man. He wasn't someone who provoked others, but if others provoked him, he would do anything to get back at them. In fact, he prefers if they provoke him since it would give him a valid reason to steal their everything without having any qualms, and that old man had earned a spot on this list.

At this moment, sensing his emotions, the system was also triggered, and an unexpected prompt rang in his mind before an interface appeared, startling Ace.

An enteral, cold voice filled with authority suddenly rang in the entire hall, "Sutton Clan will pay fifty slots from their Forger Abyss quota every year to the sect for 100 years. Do you have

any problem?"

A cold glint flashed past Forger Master Clifton's eyes, but he quickly hid it under his respectful gaze and replied, "No problem! It was the disciple's fault for not doing his job

correctly!"

"Hmph, then do it properly this time!" The voice sneered before vanishing, leaving the resentful Forger Master Clifton and George alone again!
