chapter 1263: quasi-ascension lord!

in the main hall of the aig sect, five figures in the masks were standing, releasing overwhelming, frightening spiritual pressure, especially the tall figure in the middle wearing golden white robes and a golden mask with long gray hair draped over his broad shoulders; his pressure was otherworldly as even the surrounding space seemed to tremble!
the hall masters were already scared out of there and didn't dare approach them. they knew these people were from the bank and were probably here for george.
even if they had guts, they didn't dare obstruct their way or have any kind of conversation with them since they all knew that they weren't qualified. if not for the guardian spirit's presence, those five might've already started to rampage. this showed how important and powerful the guardian spirit was to the aig and why it held such deterrence to grand elders. moreover, there was another reason these five were restraining themselves, which not even the hall masters knew about. only the sect master and the grand elders were privy to this information.
at this moment, the two grand elders and sect master vincent finally arrived at the scene. their expressions were grave, especially when they felt the ghastly spiritual pressure from that gray-haired figure in the center; their expressions went slightly pale.
"it's a quasi-ascension lord!" grand elder edwin instantly sent spirit transmissions to grand elder inez and sect master vincent.
it was especially a warning for vincent because grand elder edwin was afraid vincent would try to protect george or alan since he hadn't brought them here.
however, that gray-haired figure was almost an ascension lord, the seventh realm of the mortal ascension heaven. all he needed to do was cross his law tribulation, which he could do anytime he wanted, and he was filled with frightening vitality. this was the sign of a quasi- lord!
a quasi-lord was vastly different from peak ascension guardians because they had reached the boundary of the ascension lord realm without relying on any external help or treasures. they were filled with potential and talent, unlike the old ascension guardians who had exhausted all their potential or desperately tried to trigger the law tribulation, hoping to pass it by a fluke.
that's why all the second grade sects feared these quasi-lords since almost all of them were part of third-grade sects because the method to breakthrough in the ascension lord realm and also the means to increase their chances of successfully breakthrough were controlled by the third-grade sects.
the guardian spirit of the aig sect, which was also the sect's legacy spirit treasure, can rival a quasi-lord with the help of the sect's legacy formation. that's why the aig sect was dubbed the overlord of the spirit inferno domain, and its position remained unchallenged for almost ten million years.
it was also for this exact reason that this quasi-lord didn't directly destroy the sect with a single palm strike!
on the other hand, sending an actual ascension lord to a second grade sect was a great taboo initiated by none other than the third grade sects of the mortal ascension heaven.
after all, he was 99% sure that george had been schemed against and framed. if george was handed over to the bank, his end would be tragic, and a peerless talent would fall just like
that.
"i'll bring him here." grand elder inez decisively replied before vincent could, and she instantly vanished from her spot with her mastery of space law!
"you...." vincent's expression changed, but grand elder edwin instantly stopped him.
edwin smiled wryly as he said, "please don't forget who you are, sect master. the sect is your top priority! guardian spirit, i implore you to talk some sense to the sect master. he's too
emotional!"
vincent instantly fumed as his aura spread. he was clearly not going to listen to them, but at this moment, the guardian spirit's cold voice rang again, "calm down, don't make fools of yourselves in front of our guests. let her bring george here, as long as he's innocent. i'm confident that an existence like prime heavenly bank won't be petty enough to falsely punish an innocent child. right, friends from the bank?"
the deputy guardian's eyes finally flashed with a peculiar light before he nodded, "you don't have to worry. if george edward is innocent, we won't let him suffer and even compensate him. but to do that, we need to bring him to the headquarters and let the lords interrogate
him personally!"
"heh, why go through so much trouble and involve those mighty lords? i have a simple solution. i wonder if you'll listen to this old spirit's request?"
"if things can be solved so simply, i'll, of course, consider your request." deputy guardian
replied after a moment of pause.
"then it's settled. once george is here, i permit you to use soul search on him!"
guardian spirit's words shocked not only vincent and edwin but also the deputy guard and the four branch managers, who had been silently listening to all this time!
