Eternal Thief
chapter-667

Ace didn't make any sound as he was dragged behind the flying sword like a kite. This also made the man controlling the flying sword even more assured that this person was mentally ill and even wonder why this guy was still alive to this day.

Nevertheless, he still disdained to waste his breath on this imbecile, and he was only doing his doing by dragging him back, not more, not less.

Ace, on the other hand, was closely watching the mountain terrain as they moved more deep within the mountain range. Ace felt the Qi was getting denser.

However, his eyes went wide when he saw something astonishing ahead. Now that he was up in the sky, he could have a beautiful view of this place, but this view was right out of someone's imagination.

He saw right in the middle of this web of mountains. There was a stone stairway

vanishing within a cloudy mist. But what was truly shocking was two mountainous bronze gates with Sun and Moon symbols at the feet of the mountain right before where those stairs start.

Besides, those gates were two vivid statuses of golden and silver wyverns. Even from tens of miles away, Ace could sense the majestic might of those gates, which could make any mortal kneel in reverence.

Ace also spotted a massive group of people gathering in front of those gates like ants.

'Just what the hell is this place?' Ace was really shocked just by seeing the vast gates and stairway which led within that white mist.

As for what was past that mist, Ace had no idea because everything past that point was enshrouded in thick white mist.

But what he could see was enough to give me a general idea about the place he ended up in.

'If I'm not wrong, then this place might not be any inferior to the Imperial Demon Domain of the Demon Continent, and humans seemed to have high status in this place. Don't tell me I'm ended in some hidden power's territory of golden sky world?' Ace thought with a grim expression as he looked at the fate map, which was now dyed in red.

If he wasn't pretending to be the idiot, he might really ask the guy in front of him, but he knew right now he was best to stay shut and play dumb.

As for soul probing, he didn't even think about it because he was sure it will be failed as long as that guy was still in his optimal condition. The Soul Manifestation Realm was no joke, and it was too risky for Ace to try soul probe without absolute confidence and in this unknown territory.

He was even glad that this man was taking him here, or he might trigger some trap, or far worse, he might've exposed if try to fight back.

At this moment, the flying sword suddenly took a sharp left turn, and Ace was startled when he found they were not going toward those vast gates.

But to his shock, he saw ahead was a transparent silver barrier, and behind that barrier were run-down ancient-looking buildings all over a big mountain. It was like a mountain city.

Even a shocking scene played out when they approached closer to this old mountain. This shock was bought by none other than the resident walking in old clothes on the stone roads, and those residents didn't just include humans.

Ace felt like he was dreaming when he spotted dark brown skin tall demon walking with a human, and they were talking with smiles on their faces. This wasn't the end of it; there was another tall blue humanoid person with small purple bat wings and an arrow tail on his back standing in front of a shop.

'A-a devil!' Ace instantly identified that devil with his hard to ignored racial features.

There were also three different humans walking with retro hair colors, and they were most likely hunters.

Ace really felt like he was in a dream as he watched those different races of people mingling with each other instead of fighting. With his keen sight, he also noticed that everyone was wearing white color robes, and they were all rather skinny.

The man on the flying sword never expected that the 'idiot' he was carrying could see everything as he started to descend toward the large mountain gates.

There were two white-clad humans standing guard with spears in their hands, and their expressions were lethargic until they saw the incoming blue streak.

They were like moues who had encountered a cat and quickly straight their backs with pale expressions and didn't dare to move a muscle like they were stone statues guarding the gates.

The blue streak finally slowed down a few meters apart from the mountain gates, revealing the handsome man.

Those two guards were alarmed when they saw the robes of this person and quickly kneeled down and yelled in unison.

"We greet Lord Immortal!"

'Immortal?' Ace was amused by this greeting, but he was startled when he felt the Qi wrapped around his wrist loosen, and the next moment, it vanished, and he fell from over ten meters on the stone ground.

If he was really mortal, he might've ended up breaking a bone or getting terribly injured, which could only mean the guy on the sword didn't care about his life at all, and he was probably bound by some powerful rules which were stopping him from taking any lethal action against him. Or he was simply too proud to deal with an ant.

Whichever the case was, Ace was happy for the ride, and that guy will definitely find in the future just who the real idiot was.

So, Ace didn't use anything and fell with a blank expression and landed flat on the stone ground. The guy on the sword merely glanced at him before moving his head away toward the guards, who were bewildered by this sudden scene.

He coldly asked with a piercing gaze, "Who let this idiot out?"

Those two guards started to tremble whiles sweating buckets.

"W-we don't…" but before one of them could reply, a mountain-like aura locked on them.

"You still dare to play dumb!?" the guy on the sword roared in anger.

Since he can't vent on that idiot because of his lack of expression, he'll vent on those two who made him take such a tiring trip just to fetch an idiot back.

"Not only was he 'bathing' in the crystal river, but he was there with a rotten plank. Furthermore, he's wearing 'black,' which is a forbidden dress code outside the Sun and Moon Sword Union. Get your mountain lord here. I'll see who dares to weave these clothes!"

On the ground, Ace was astonished by this name, 'Sun and Moon Sword Union?'
