Chapter 1221: Scheming Against Each Other!



While Ace was shocked by the Primordial Beast Space's information provided by the system, he didn't know that the moment he opened the Primordial Beast Space and acquired the Beast Ruler Divine Talent, the sky above the entire AIG (Artifact Inferno Guardian) Sect suddenly turned black, and dense lightning clouds gathered.

However, a few moments later, the lightning clouds vanished, revealing a clear blue sky again. This sudden phenomenon didn't go unnoticed by the Sect members and some higher- ups.

Ace didn't know the Dismantle Spirit Qi barrier had saved him from being struck by Heavenly Punishment because he opened the Primordial Beast Space.

"Is someone going under the Early Law Tribulation?" Vincent, who was back at his dwelling, muttered. His eyes peer through everything and deeply look at the clear sky.

"No, it wasn't tribulation clouds, or they wouldn't have lasted for a few seconds. Besides, no one is currently using the tribulation platform, nor is anyone foolish enough to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation without it, so it wasn't caused by a breakthrough from an Early Law State to an Intermediate Law State.

"However, in those few seconds, I sense something even more terrifying from those clouds. Those clouds had nothing but the intent to destroy and were filled with death. There was no life in them..." The Spirit Guardian's voice was solemn.

Vincent's eyes widened with shock as he instantly blurted out, "You're saying that was the legendary Heavenly Punishment? But how is this possible?! Who would dare incur the wrath of heaven in our sect?"

"Heh, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm only saying there was an aura of destruction and death; it's still too soon to consider those clouds Heavenly Punishment.

"Besides, you should know if that was Heavenly Punishment, why would it have vanished without punisher the Defier? It was most likely someone practicing some power spell and achieved a breakthrough in it." The Spirit Guardian assured.

Vincent's expression was visibly relieved before he became serious again. "There shouldn't be this kind of spell present in our sect, and even if someone had it, they wouldn't be foolish enough to practice it in such a high-profile manner."

At this moment, Vincent's expression changed again as he couldn't help but say in exasperation, "Don't tell me it's that brat causing trouble again. Tsk, I've warned him not long ago to keep his head low for a while..."

When he mentioned the thief symbol, Nathaniel seemed greedy. Like everyone else, he was fascinated and shocked by George's actions and mystical abilities.

At first, Nathaniel didn't think much about him. Even if he managed to claim the Nominal Legacy Disciple position from the Forger Abyss and become the Sect Master's disciple, there was a huge gap of power between them, not to mention their forging skills were worlds apart. So, he wanted to put George in his place by 'inviting' him for a chat, but Floyd beat him to it. Then, the thievery incident happened, which revealed George's true capabilities.

Still, Nathaniel didn't worry. In fact, he became extremely interested in George's secret, and they had planned to detain him using the Law Enforcement Hall. That plan backfired, and the most shocking thing was that George did it all by himself without any intervention.

Now, everyone had become wary of the 'nobody' and didn't dare underestimate him anymore, especially the Norberg clan. Yet Nathaniel was still not taking George seriously. He was more interested in getting George's secret and was very confident in getting it.

Bert also agreed with Nathaniel's statement since he had also probed the owl symbol and had gotten nothing out of it.

"He's nothing but lucky to get someone unknown inheritance. But we can't do anything to him without any solid evidence, and I even suspect that the Sect Master is helping him hide

his traces.

"Furthermore, we can't take action against him now, especially after what happened today. The only way is for you to become Vice Sect Master first, and then we won't have to worry about him, and we'll even get his secret," Bert said with a malicious smile.

Nathaniel agreed with Bert, nodding, "Don't worry; I won't disappoint you. Just a little more, and I will be able to complete the Forger Abyss trial. Still, we should teach him a lesson for

what he did.

"Isn't the Decade Meeting between the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect and the Yin-Yang Formation Guardian Sect coming in eight months? That will be our chance to curb his arrogance. If he fails in front of the Yin-Yang Formation Guardian Sect, not only will he lose face, but because he also represents the Sect Master, it will also sully the Sect Master's prestige since those Yin-Yang Formation Guardian Sect's fellows won't let such an opportunity slid by. At that time..." Nathaniel didn't say anything further and only smiled meaningfully toward his father.

Bert instantly understood what Nathaniel was implying, and his eyes lit up as he also pulled a shrewd smile, "You're indeed the hope of our Norberg clan. Don't worry; your father will make sure everything is set perfectly. We'll allow that nobody to be arrogant for a while

more!"
