Chapter 975 Inside the Mountains (1) Carefully, Ace raised his hands in front of the door, but he didn't touch it, afraid some kind of alarm would go off or something even more troublesome.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com The Dismantle Qi gushed out of his gloves and quickly covered the huge door, dyeing it pitch black. At this moment, if anyone saw this place, they would instantly notice him. Furthermore, as Ace tried to dismantle the runes, he found that the process was extremely slow. One had to know that even grade-8 runes were no match for his dismantler principles anymore, so this also meant that this door was made with grade-9 runes! Moreover, the materials he would get from it would also be grade 9, so he didn't want to mess it up. He could tell this door was made with some extraordinary metal. While Ace was quickly dismantling the formation and the door, an ancient formation within the inner-city walls flashed, and a giant handsome figure wearing imperial robes appeared. He has a slim build and sharp eyes, but at this moment, a hint of panic was present in them; this person was none other than the second imperial prince, Darren! At this moment, another giant old man appeared in front of Darren and bowed while greeting, "Your Highness, are you planning on going in seclusion?" This old giant was exactly an expert who was watching the inner region of this ancient city, and he was also part of the Imperial family's older generation. Old monsters like him have vanished from the eyes of the masses thousands of years ago, and people considered them dead.
"Although he didn't tell anyone, I was worried about it, so I investigated. Please don't get angry with Fourth Brother. He is a victim, and that vile villain is trying to harm our clan. So, I quickly came here to report this matter to you just in case that bandit came here. Please kill him the moment you see him. He's very crafty." Darren gravely stated.
He didn't even blink when he put all the blame on Sky Bandit and his fourth brother. If he didn't have any choice, he would've blamed the Crown Prince, but it wouldn't make any sense at that time. Now, even if an investigation happened, all the blame would fall on Zion no matter how he denies it since he didn't have any proof, and once Abner was killed, it would be even more impossible to connect him to him. If anything, if someone identified Abner, they would look for the Crown Prince, and Darren would walk away scot-free while also damaging the Crown Prince's reputation. Even if Abner got captured and spilled the beans, Darren could always say it was the Crown Prince's scheme to harm him since there was no evidence of Abner's association with him. All in all, he won't be in any trouble. Sixth Elder's eyes widened when he heard this news in disbelief, "Someone dares to move against our clan? It seemed we are being too amiable in these past thousand of years that others started to think we are pushovers." He was furious just thinking about the humiliation it would bring to Skylar name. While Darren was busy washing his hands from Abner's matter, Ace lowered his hands as a huge pile of grade-9 materials and a massive bronze door were lying beside him, and in front of him was an open entrance leading to the inside of the mountain. The moment he dismantled the door and opened the passage, an extremely ancient air filled with powerful, dense martial Qi enveloped him. No one knows just how long this place has been sealed. Furthermore, Ace used 10% of soul Qi just to dismantle this door, which was actually quite huge considering his new Qi reserves. Without hesitation, he stowed away those materials and entered the open passage with glittering eyes. He wanted to see just what kind of mystery is hidden in this ancient city!
