Chapter 1192: Chief Hall Court



The man in white robes stood alone on the edge of the strange volcano, and Ace was nowhere to be seen.

"Why did you bring him here if you weren't planning on accepting him as your disciple? Are you really planning on letting that little doll go and let him be contaminated by the others?" The Guardian Spirit of the AIG sect's impassive voice suddenly rang at this moment.

The man suddenly smiled and replied, "Can you please not pretend to be benighted? He's wearing a disguise treasure, and I can't trust someone who isn't willing to trust me."

"Then why not just expose him and let him believe you?" The Guardian Spirit asked with a hint of intrigue.

Just as Ace guessed, this man could easily see through his disguise if he wanted. Even the Guardian Spirit, who was secretly watching everything, could expose him when he was within its detection range, unlike the formation. But for some reason, they didn't do anything. The man shook his head as he replied, "Heh, I had a hunch that if I had done that, that brat would've escaped or simply thought that I was after his secret and had an ulterior motive. Although I don't know where his confidence came from, I've lived enough to tell when someone is fearful or just wary.

"Besides, I found that brat quite interesting, especially the way he observes and judges things around him. As for getting contaminated by others, I'm afraid it's the other way around. Don't you think so as well?"

"I hate to admit it, but you're right. There is someone unusual about that youngster. But act like the Sect Master for once. You just gave him the status of Chief Disciple despite him hiding his identity and possibly having ulterior motives. Don't tell me you're taking his words seriously and going to use him to cause trouble for the four clans? But what if it's backfire?" The Guardian Spirit exclaimed with a hint of teasing; it was clearly in a good mood.

"Hah, can you not expose me?" The man smiled wryly, but a hint of deep resolution shone in his eyes. "As long as he doesn't harm the sect directly, I don't care about who he is or what motives he has. Just as he said, 'We cultivators aren't even afraid of heaven, so afraid of the world?' I think it's about time I joined the stage and took control from those meddlesome fossils; the sect had stagnated enough."

"Although I don't know what you're planning, I like where this is going. Since you've decided to move forward, I'll make sure no one gets in your way. Our sect was built to seek wisdom and development, not for fostering cowards!" The Guardian Spirit coldly declared.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The man, the Artifact Guardian Master of the Artifact Inferno Sect, also smiled coldly as he looked towards the mist enshrouding the other side of the volcano. He suddenly felt the mist becoming slightly flimsier...

Although Ace didn't know what kind of magic beast it was, he was still awed by it and wondered if this kind of bird existed in the Spirit Inferno Domain and what kind of existence it was for the AIG to sculpt its status and place it there.

"You, who are you, and where did you come from?!" A harsh voice suddenly drew Ace's attention, and he felt a powerful pressure suddenly lock him in.

When he looked around, he found it was a middle-aged man with a stern expression. He was looking at him with hostility and seemed ready to strike the moment he sensed anything amiss from him.

Ace quickly flashed the golden badge in his hand in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's expression instantly loosened a bit when he saw the golden badge in his hand. But he was still uncertain since Ace wasn't wearing the sect's attire.

"A new Chief Forger Disciple? I wasn't alerted about any of the inner court disciples passing the Chief Forger Disciple trail?" the middle-aged man mumbled before flicking his finger, and the badge in Ace's hand appeared in his hand.

Without waiting, he imbued it with his Qi, and information appeared in his head. His expression suddenly changed as he looked at Ace with disbelief, making Ace uncomfortable. Things had been going out of his hands since the moment he had come to this place, and now he had become somewhat numb to them.

The middle-aged man seemed to be suppressing his burning curiosity. He quickly handed Ace the golden badge and solemnly said, "Welcome to the Chief Hall Court, young man, George. You can enter the Chief Ignite Hall and register yourself first. Only then will you get your chief disciple robes, cultivation lodging, and disciple benefits!"

Realization dawned on Ace, and he understood why he had appeared in this place. So he politely thanked the middle-aged man before entering Chief Ignite Hall.

Once Ace left, the middle-aged man thought for a moment before a talisman appeared in his

hand. It turned into a streak of light and vanished towards the northern side of the Chief Hall Court. No one knew its destination except the middle-aged man!
