Chapter 855 Who Tricked Who?



Chapter 855 Who Tricked Who?

After the ‘deal’ was finalized, Ace didn’t have to wait long as ten flying swords emerged from the cathedral’s direction and flew towards him.

There were four devils, three demons, two hunters, and one human, and all of them were Quasi-Law Awareness Realm Cultivators. Especially the four-eye devil leading them. As he flapped his massive bat-like wings, he gave off a very powerful aura.

They all stopped a few meters away from Ace, who stood on top of his sword, and his face was hidden under the hood.

The ten newcomers were the top ten rankers of the cultivation tower ranking, and they all had their guards fully up as they vigilantly looked at the infamous Heretic. Furthermore, they were feeling both relief and indignant as it came as a surprise to them that the heretic wanted to reconcile, and the God Envoy agreed.

Although this simply means they don’t have to fight him and put their lives on the line, they still feel it is quite strange. Nonetheless, it was good for both them and the union.

Ace, at this moment, removed his hood, revealing White’s appearance, and he beamed at them and greeted, “Seniors, I hope it wasn’t too much trouble.”

Ossian’s expression crumpled even so slightly, “White, I presumed? You are indeed capable.”

The Bodach Demon, Lorcan, squinted his eyes and coldly asked, “Why did you destroy the Sun Mountain? You do know it was our home, and you intended to do the same with Moon Mountain. How can we trust you after all you’ve done?”

Lorcan’s words struck deep within the hearts of all the males present here. They were all the prominent figures of the Sun Mountain, masters of their own lands. Yet after it was destroyed, they had to relocate to the Moon Mountain under the mercy of the Moon Lord.

This was a humiliation they couldn’t forget, and the culprit was right in front of them.

“So, you hold a grudge, is that it?” Ace coolly replied, “It was indeed an unfortunate event. But it was an accident. I never intended to destroy anything. But who could’ve thought my talent surpassed even the God Envoy’s imagination.”

His bragging caused everyone to frown, but they knew he was just stating the fact. They were all astounded when they heard about the junior union leader and thought it was just luck.

But only after everything took place did they understand that it wasn’t just luck. White was too talented. However, he walked on the wrong path.

“Junior White, as a fellow human, I hope you no longer walk on the path of ruin and make us all proud. Your decision is the correct one.” A wizened-faced old man with a long, snowy beard amiably smiles. He was the only human in the top ten rankings, ranked 8th, Percy.

“Shameless!” Delma snorted, “We were told you agreed to sign a soul contract?”

Looking at the gorgeous golden-hair hair huntress, he nodded, “Indeed, I need to clear the trial here so I can meet the final requirement to be the true successor of the Union. I was doing what I could to show my worth. I never intended to destroy anything.”

“We’ll see about that.” At this moment, the God Envoy’s cold voice sounded, “Give him the contract, and if he shows any strangeness, you are free to attack him!”

“Tsk, you’re not very fond of me, are you?” Ace clicked his tongue in annoyance.

This made the ten somewhat astounded because they were extremely respectful to the God Envoy, yet White was talking as if to him like he was his equal.

Nonetheless, they had to take care of the business first since it would determine whether White was telling the truth or not.

Ossian then flipped his hand, and a corporeal sky-blue sheet appeared filled with crimson writing. He flicked it toward Ace.

Ace easily caught the soul contract and couldn’t help but exclaim, “This soul contract is grade eight, right?” 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

“Only this will ensure you won’t play any tricks!” The God Envoy sneered.

“Don’t tell me you’re using my treasures?” Ace asked as he had some idea of where this contract came from.

“What your treasures?!” The God Envoy was instantly enraged.

Ace sneered, “When I complete the trial, those treasures will naturally belong to me. So, you better not use them wantonly, or I’ll complain about you to the mighty God!”

“YOU sacrilegious mortal!” The God Envoy seemed to be gritting its teeth.

This made the ten sweat and look at White in a new light. This guy really doesn’t know what death is. He dared to play with the God Envoy; how bold!

“Alright, I was joking. We are comrades, after all. I’m looking forward to meeting you.” Ace chuckled playfully before he read the terms of the soul contract.

The terms were the same as they had discussed before, and there wasn’t any loophole that he could exploit. Once he signed this contract, he couldn’t go against the Moon Envoy’s wishes, but if he tried to stab him in the back, this contract would be instantly voided.

That’s exactly what Ace wanted!

The next moment, he poured his Qi into it before biting his finger and then dripping his blood on the contract. The contract instantly shone in crimson light before it turned into a crimson streak and entered his forehead.

Everyone was astounded by Ace’s decisiveness.

“Alright, since the contract is formed. Now, you should believe I have no ill intention towards the union.” Ace smilingly said, “Now, let’s get it over with.”

“Hmph, it seemed you still know your limit. Very well, I’ll gladly fulfill my part of the deal. Escort him to the trial door!” The God Envoy coldly said, but a hint of ecstasy was present in his voice.

Since Ace had signed the soul contract, he could no longer play tricks, and he had to bear the soul brand once he entered the trial. Which means his life would also belong to the God Envoy.

Once that is done, keeping the soul contract matters little, and White will be his puppet. At least, that was what he had thought.

Ace might appear emotionless, but inwardly, he was snickering, ‘Idiot indeed!’
