In the Chief Hall Court of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect, cultivation courtyard no.195, Ace spent two nights of peace here.

After that sudden epiphany, he spent an entire day and a half breaking through, and to his surprise, he directly broke through to the 5-Star Ascension Soldier stage in one go!

Ace started to experience real cultivation, and his cultivation was extremely fast because of his bloodline, physique, and meridians.

After familiarizing himself with his new prowess, he spent the rest of his time getting to know the new place and making his plans accordingly.

On the third morning, Ace left his courtyard. His destination was the Chief Hall Court’s Sect Library, which held all the top knowledge and secret manuals of the AIG Sect.

Ace hadn’t forgotten about the Beast Law Channel Spell that Elder Dewey told him about, which would allow him to keep his contracted magic beast in his inner space. It was his main priority, and he also wanted to see what kind of accumulated knowledge the Sect Library had, especially the knowledge related to the laws and his prime law, Darkness!

However, just as Ace left the courtyard, a cheerful voice suddenly rang from behind, “You finally came out!”

Ace was surprised. This person was clearly waiting for him, and when he looked around, he spotted a handsome young man with short black hair and a slim build, wearing the same white and golden chief forger disciple robes with a cauldron symbol as he hurried over towards him.

Despite his annoyance, he still smiled politely and greeted the young man, “Greeting, Senior Brother. I’m George. Are you looking for me?”

The young man stopped a meter away from George and closely observed him from top to bottom with judging eyes before he clicked his tongue, “Name’s Ted. You are really weak, no wonder. The elders told us to take care of you. I wonder what made them pay so much attention to you. But you still made Senior Brother Floyd wait for three days-not a good thing to do, I’m telling y’!”

Ace was startled. He had no idea what Ted was talking about or who this Senior Brother Floyd was, but he could guess that it was Forger Master Stetson doing it.

“Forgive me, but I didn’t know you were waiting. I joined the sect three days ago and was busy familiarizing myself with the new environment. May I ask who Senior Floyd is and why he is looking for me?”

Ted nodded slightly as he replied, “We know you joined three days ago, and I have to admit, not only us but the entire district knows about you. If you came out the other day, there were many representatives of the other three forger disciple factions here.”

At this moment, Ted’s expression suddenly changed as he cursed, “Tsk, they’re coming. Let’s go, or it’ll be annoying. We can’t let Senior Brother Floyd wait, and you won’t want to deal with those annoying guys as well.”

Ace also sensed more people approaching, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded. Ted quickly started leading the way, and Ace followed.

“Fuck, that’s Ted! He’s escaping with the new guy!” An indignant voice suddenly rang.

“Follow them!” A cold voice instantly replied as they quickly chased.

“Damn it! Those **ers detect us! Hey, new guy, keep us!” Ted cursed as he quickly increased his speed.

Ace was speechless. He never expected the Chief Disciples of the AIG sect to behave like a bunch of hooligans and tugs. Furthermore, he knew they were all chasing after them because of him, and his expression grew grave. This was no good at all since he couldn’t do anything if these guys kept chasing after him all the time.

Still, he had no idea who these guys were, and he could only find out about them from this Ted since he seemed to be related to Stetson, so he followed him.

“Ted, stop right there!” An infuriating voice rang.

“Heh, so it’s the little **er, Harper-Rose! Just like your forging skills, your speed is also slow. If you have a problem, come and catch this father, and I promise I’ll change your name!” Ted hooted as he burst into wanton laughter, leaving Ace speechless.

A burly man who was following behind them with others, when he heard those words, his expression instantly changed, and his complexion turned bright red as he gritted his teeth.

He roared with bloodshot eyes, “Bastard! I’ll kill you!”

“How about you kill your father, who gave you that name? Oh, that’s me!” Ted laughed even more wildly as his speed exploded, leaving everyone in dust!

‘Shit, I use more speed!’ Ted’s expression suddenly changed as, in a hurry, he used Ascension Warrior-level speed and quickly looked around. But to his shock, George was keeping up with him!

‘He’s only a 1-Star Ascension Solider, yet he keeps up with the Ascension Warrior’s speed? Is he hiding his strength? But how could it? I’m a 9-Star Ascension Warrior; he can’t fool my Law Sense!’ Ted was shocked as his view of George started to change, and he began to understand why the elders were paying so much attention to him.

Ted started to observe George as they moved like lightning seriously, and the more he observed George, the greater his shock.

‘What’s the deal with this guy’s expression? He’s not even sweating!?’

“Um, senior, is this the place?” Ace suddenly asked as they were already stopped in front of a massive courtyard. Calling it a manor wouldn’t be wrong since it was ten times bigger than his cultivation courtyard.

But Ace knew they were still in the disciple district, and this place probably belonged to someone with a high disciple ranking.

Ted finally snapped out of his stupor. He quickly looked towards the massive courtyard and smiled awkwardly. He was so absorbed in observing George that he had already instinctively led him to their destination.

“Oh, Senior Ted is back!” As the courtyard door opened, a timed voice suddenly rang, “And he even brought the new guy!”

Ace looked towards the opening door and saw another young man, 1.4 meters tall and with a sunken face, in chief disciple robes behind the door.

Ted quickly pulled a smug smile, “Little cuz, Maci, do you still doubt my abilities? Of course, I’ll bring the new guy despite being chased by those hyenas!”

Maci’s eyes shone with reverence, “Of course, I know that when it comes to fleeing, no one can beat Senior Ted!”

Ted’s expression stiffed slightly, “Are you praising me or cursing me!?”

“Stop disgracing yourself before the new junior; bring him inside!” An icy voice of a female rang in a commanding tone at this moment.

Both Maci and Ted’s expressions changed as they quickly stopped talking. Ted looked towards Ace and said, “Let’s go, new guy.”

He then suddenly approached Ace and whispered in his ears, “That was Senior Sister Avery, and I’m telling you she’s a control freak and demon in a fairy’s appearance! So, never try to go against her, or she’ll skin you alive.”

Ace was startled, but he was more amused. Although this atmosphere was very strange, especially how these guys behaved, he could tell they were all friendly and warm towards each other, and he somehow liked it.

“I understand.” He smilingly replied.

“Tsk, you’re fearless, aren’t y’? Don’t come crying to me when you fell in the clutches of that demon!” Ted scoffed, but his voice was extremely low as if he was afraid that a ‘demon’

would hear it.

Ace didn’t say anything and only smiled while he followed Ted and Maci into the courtyard; now, he was curious about these people!
