chapter-1152

Grey took a glance at Kyle, not responding to what he was saying.

"Are you moving or not?" He looked at the young man from the Heavenly Fate Faction coldly.

"I'd listen to your friend if I were you." The young man said.

He had already sensed Grey's cultivation realm and knew he was stronger, so he didn't feel bothered. The only person he felt threatened by was Ellis, but Ellis wasn't making any moves, and from how Grey was the one standing in front of the group, he presumed he was the leader of the group.

"Are you moving? I'll not ask again." Grey asked once again, his aura incomparably calm.

If not for the fact that they knew he was an Elementalist, they would've thought he was a normal person.

The young man felt a bit threatened by Grey's somewhat calm manner after giving a threat. He looked at Grey and paused, after a while he said coolly, "I don't want to make an enemy of you. This place is off limits to others. It will be wise if you try not to go in."

Grey looked at him, not making any moves. He was caught between two choices. One, making an enemy of the Heavenly Fate Faction, the other was to lose out on something Void tagged as great.

If he didn't at least see it, he wouldn't be satisfied.

'I already have so many enemies, adding one more shouldn't be too big of a deal.' He thought to himself.

But then again, this would make it easier for him to die since the people trying to kill him would increase exponentially. One has to know that the Heavenly Fate Faction are quite famous and given them being tagged as the number one Light Element Faction, they had a good relationship with multiple top Factions.

The Dawson Family and the Pyrmond Faction wouldn't be able to deal with so many enemies, at least not for a long period.

He couldn't help but give a sigh while taking a look at the others beside him. If he walked in, he wouldn't be the only one affected by the conflict. The others who were innocent would also have to bear the brunt of this.

"Fine." Grey didn't stay there any more, turning around to leave with the others.

"It's good that you listened." Kyle said.

The others nodded as well, feeling a bit relieved. Of course not all of them were bothered. Klaus had no issues with having any form of conflict with the Heavenly Fate Faction, but he still liked the fact that Grey put them first and didn't try to have any problems with them.

After the group moved some meters away, Grey stopped.

"I knew you were not going to give up on it." Klaus said.

"What? I just want to take a look." Grey replied with an innocent expression.

"What happens when they find you?" Alice asked.

"They won't." Grey brought out a mask and wore it before changing his clothes.

The others were stunned when they saw his clothes changing while he was still wearing it. This was one of the abilities of the armor he was wearing.

After changing his attire, Grey's figure vanished from the spot.

"Is he always this troublesome?" Ellis asked.

"Well, when he's not unknowingly offending Empires, he's knowingly doing it." Klaus said.

"So in general, he has always been like this?" Ellis asked.

Klaus and the others nodded. Since Grey got into cultivation, his journey can't be called smooth. First off he didn't have any elements from the start, then he got two, then after going to the Trial Land, he got a treasure that made him the public enemy of the entire Azure Continent.

Even after coming to the Aurora Continent, he had been offending one person or another.

"I guess such a genius can never have an easy run." Ellis sighed with a shake of his head.

"Yeah."

The others nodded.

No one could deny the fact that Grey was a genius amongst geniuses.

….

Inside the building, Grey appeared close to Void and the bunny leader.

Before Void left, he marked him, so appearing here was no issue. He didn't know if there would be others, but he made sure to hide his aura as soon as he appeared.

When he appeared, Void didn't show any changes but the bunny leader was a bit surprised.

The bunny leader didn't expect Grey to suddenly appear there.

'Have you found it?' He asked Void the moment he appeared.

'There's a large array in front, I can't get past it.' Void replied.

Grey frowned and looked at the hall in front of him. He didn't sense the array and couldn't help but take a glance at Void.

"Take a step."

Grey took a step and his vision changed.

'I see. It's not difficult to deal with, but it will take some time.' He said to Void.

Void heaved a sigh of relief. This was why he was waiting for Grey. Grey was a genius when it came to arrays and Void knew of this. As long as it's an array, even the one he didn't know, he would think of a way to break through it.

The bunny leader didn't think Grey would be able to break through it. But seeing Void's confidence, it felt a bit optimistic.

'Can they see us from outside?' Grey asked.

'No, I think there's one guy inside. But he can't get through the array.' Void replied.

Grey looked at the array in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath. This array was more complex than any other array he had laid his eyes on. He knew it wouldn't be easy for him to break through it.

He immediately got to work and started to feel the array out. The first thing he needed to do was to get accustomed to the array and know the ins and outs of it. Once he has done that, then handling it would be an easy thing for him.

A few minutes went by without Grey talking to either Void nor the bunny leader. They were still trying to understand what was happening when Grey suddenly opened his eyes.

"I think I can break it." He muttered.

He immediately got to work on the array, trying to break it with what he had learned on it.

The little time he used wasn't enough and he failed.

The trio was kicked out of the array and could only look at it from the side.

"Let's go again. I can get past it." Grey said and entered the array once again.

He didn't feel too much pressure. When he was trying to get past it a few moments ago, he was able to get past the early stages of it and get to the middle stages, so he knew that he could get past it.

Void and the bunny leader didn't know of this but they followed him back into the place since they knew he was their only hope of entering it.

The moment Grey entered the array, a young man appeared outside the array. It was the young man from the Heavenly Fate Faction who was trying to get into the place.

"Damn it! I can't even get past it now." The young man was pissed.

He had tried getting past this stage on a couple of occasions and had failed. Even till now, he was unable to get past it. He didn't want to try again since he knew no matter how much he tried, he wouldn't be able to get past it. With so many attempts, he had only gotten to the middle of it.

"How can an array be this difficult?" He was upset.

He could only give up and step outside the place, walking back to the group of six standing outside.

When they saw his expression, they knew he had failed and couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Just give up. Hopefully the Faction Leader gives us a chance at them." The young man in the Sixth stage said.

The young man who just came out of the building snorted but didn't give them any reply.

He sat down on the side, "I'm not going to give up. I'll still try, until she comes out."

The others sighed, since he wanted this then they would let him do whatever he wished. This wasn't what they wanted in the first place. Although they wanted to go in, there was nothing they could do.

While they were discussing the issue with the young man.

Grey had been tossed out once again. This time he was able to advance further with cracking the array, but he was unable to get to the last part of it.

"Damn it. Void, it's not going to be easy. Are you sure it's worth it?" He couldn't help but ask again.

"You wouldn't regret it." Void replied.

Grey gritted his teeth. The complexity of the array was far greater than he imagined..
