After Ace decided to follow the direction Cyrus had pointed him in, he simply used his twilight Qi to remove the rubble from the way, and the tunnel ahead opened. But he blocked it again just to make sure no one followed them.
However, after half an hour of entering the tunnel, two middle-aged men with burly masculine builds entered the tunnel from the other side, and following behind them was none other than Kai!
Furthermore, unlike Kai, who was wearing gray robes, these were wearing clean white robes; they were clearly not miners.
"Are you telling the truth, little Kai?" One of the men with brown skin asked sternly.
"Yes, Lord Lonnie. As I've mentioned before, when I was mining the spirit stones, the wall suddenly caved in, and that's what caused the sudden tremor. But you don't have to come personally. I could've removed the rubble myself and continued the mining," Kai said with agitation while hiding his apprehensiveness.
