Chương 43: A tragedy! (Part 1)

'Hmm? Why isn't it mention any cultivation level above the QI River realm? It seems they wanted to hide this information from all others people of the land of cities.' He became confused reading all the books and concluded.

Ace knows about all the realms because of the system. Now he knows some common sense about this world.

'They didn't even allow to let anyone from the wastelands in the cities, they called all those wastelands peoples sinners. But why? What they have done to get treatment like this?' This was his first time reading about it.

But even in the books, it didn't mention the reason for why all those people called the sinner. It was as if all the information was erased, or no one wanted to write about it.

'If a city-level power wanted to go to the kingdom level lands they need a kingdom level power to accept them as a country of their kingdom, and that City has to be able to command a minimum of ten 1-Star cities. Even after that, they have to pass a special test of the Kingdom. It's only mentioned about this, not the test itself. But these old books hold quite some information, even these new books didn't have this kind of detailed information. I guess it was my luck to stop at that aunty stall.' He became fascinated by all this new information that he reads in those books.

'The current strongest city of the entire lands of cities are 'The New Moon City'. And it is quite far from here. I need to travels for six months on foot to reach there and according to this map that forest we crossed is called the moon forest. We have to cross it again and this time go into the deeper parts to reach the New Moon City. Well, I guess we need to leave this city after this month. It will take only two of us almost a year to cross the moon forest if we didn't want to get into trouble with the demonic beast. But this is also good I can gain experience points while in the wildness and build the Heavenly Foundation before reaching the city.' Ace mused while making his plans.

"System convert all the pills in my thief storage space into EXP!" Ace transmitted his excited voice in his mind.

He needs only a little EXP for opening the Fifth Gate of the Heavenly Gates.

He bought two million worth of white-ranked pills from the market today and now he was ready to open his final gate of the Qi Gates. After that, he would only need to gather enough EXP to build the Heavenly Foundation. That's why he was excited after seeing he would go to the wildness very soon.

=====

"[System has converted all the pills into 6000 EXP.]

[Congratulation Host on Opening the 5th Gate of Heavenly Gate.]

[Host status has been updated.]

[EXP: 470/20,000]"

=====

Ace didn't hear the system's voice because the Heavenly Qi was surging like a tide wave inside his body. He closed his eyes and start to recite the Heaven Stealer technique.

-------

In the territory of Casen Family, Inside the Courtyard of Dulce.

Behind Dulce were standing two middle-aged men and one old man. Their heads were down it was clear that they were in a lower position than Dulce.

One of the middle-aged men has thick eyebrows and the other was bald, they both were Dulce bodyguards. The old man has long silver hair he was the City lord of the Red-Mountain City Quentin Casen.

There was four-figure kneeling in front of Dulce. They were wearing tatter clothes and there were wounds all over their bodies. It seems they were being tortured before coming here.

If Ace were here he would be shocked to see two of these four persons because they were Asher Kelby and Rylan Grant!

Yes, they were Asher and Rylan both grandson and grandfather in an extremely sorry state. Beside them were another man Sumyan Kelby, and last of them was the 'former' City Lord of the River Flower City Mathies Layton!

All the heads of the top three families of the River-Flower city were here. But they were not looking like grand and dignified figures at all. Their conditions were grave especially Rylan's and Asher's.

--------

It's all happened fifteen days ago when Asher was in Red-Mountain searching for Ace like a mad dog.

He was the best talent in the entire city and someone has humiliated him for the first time in his life how could he give up so easily? Even if this was 1-Star City he didn't put anyone in his eyes especially someone young.

Just like another day, Asher starts his search for Ace and coincidently he bumps into Dulce that day.

Dulce was just strolling around the city without her carriage. She was very grateful, to begin with, and when Asher saw her appearance he was instantly attracted by her beauty.

He never sees anyone as beautiful as her in the entire River-Flower City. But if he ever knows that Black Fox that was always beside him was like a celestial fairy in front of Dulce, he would directly curse Rylan his own grandfather for ruining such a beauty.

But he saw Dulce first and lost his calm. He didn't even see all those guards with her and directly asked her like a gentleman, "Miss I would like to know if you fancy a meal with this little one."

Dulce thought that it was quite amusing to see someone even dare to hit on her in this barren place. She signaled her guards who were about to attack him to stop and said with a smile, "Of course I'll love to but only if you can beat one of my personal guards."

Asher saw disdain in Dulce's eyes and think that she was looking down on him.

In his eyes, it was her honor to get him even asked like a gentleman if it was his city he would've directly taken her as a bed warming maid. He said after suppressing his anger. "Hahaha, I'm afraid that I would kill Miss guard accidentally after all I can't control my strength whenever I spar with someone."

Dulce raised her eyebrow after hearing Asher's arrogant words, even she didn't dare to say such a thing to an unknown person with all those guards around.

Those two Qi Foundation Building bodyguards now also wanted to torture him seeing him talking like this to their Princess.

She said in a gentle tone but there was a hint of anger in her voice, "Baldy carefully break his legs and don't kill him accidentally, I want him to beg for forgiveness."

Asher's handsome face turns red in fury after hearing her words. Those guards and his uncle that were sent here with him by Rylan also wanted to attack but Asher raised his hand and said with a sinister smile, "Hahaha, it seems all the people of this city wanted to humiliate me one way or another."

He immediately put Dulce on the same level as Ace in his most hated person list.

It was still in the center of the streets when all this transparent. Quite the crowd was gathering together to see just what was happening. Some of them start to cheer for Asher to starts the fight already.

That Baldy attack the moment Asher said those words and released his aura of Qi Foundation Building realm.

Asher's face instantly becomes disorderly and deathly pale after the pressure descends on him. He immediately felt that the pressure was a hundred times more than his grandfather's.

But now the arrow has already left the bow. A punch was coming straight towards his chest. If that punch from the Qi Foundation expert landed on him he would be cripple for his lifetime.

Asher quickly released his cultivation of Forth Gate and he used a mortal level skill. It was the skill of the Grant family.

Since he was the most talented youth in the entire city his grandfather wasn't stingy with him and let him learn the skill of the Grant family even if he was from the Kelby family. "Iron Hammered Fist".

Asher shout and his fist start to become solid like an iron hammered. This was the mortal-level skill.

But in front of a Qi Foundation Building realm, he was just an ant. But his timely used skill at least saved him from being a cripple. Only his arm was broken.

Baldy had a strange look in his eyes, and Dulce's aura begin to raise after seeing the skill that Asher just used.

Asher could feel that this girl that he was planning to 'kidnap' was even stronger than that Baldy and become even paler.

He was regretting being such a moron now. He finally understands why his grandfather warns him not to provoke anyone from the one-star city. But he was foolish and hit an iron wall this time.

Asher was thinking about begging for forgiveness when he heard Dulce voice filled with murderous intent,

"WHERE DID YOU LEARN THIS SKILL?"
