“What do you mean?” Ivy pressed.
“That thing might come from a higher civilization and inherently possess high-level spirituality!” Aubree mused.
“If it doesn’t want to be detected, we might find it very difficult to sense its presence!”
“Higher civilization?” Everyone was stunned again.
“Yes!” Aubree nodded slightly. “It’s highly possible!”
“Understood!” Everyone nodded, half comprehending.
“By the way, why has that old man also disappeared?” Judge suddenly remembered this question.
No one could answer him!
“Aubree, I have one more question,” Amber continued. “Since the combat power of Sky City’s Lord’s Mansion far surpasses that of the Blood and Devil Sects, and they can tear through the Guardian Alliance’s defenses to send people from the Blood and Devil Sects to the Forbidden Ruins Space, why don’t they come themselves?”
“Because Sky City once had an agreement with the Guardian Alliance!” Aubree responded. “I don’t know the detailed content, but generally, without the Guardian Alliance’s permission, people from Sky City are never allowed to enter the Forbidden Ruins Space!”
“An agreement?” Amber was slightly taken aback. “Why would there be such an agreement?”
“That was a matter from a thousand years ago!” Aubree then briefly described the situation of a battle from a thousand years ago.
“A thousand years ago?” After listening to Aubree, Opal was stunned for a moment. Then he couldn’t help but look at Billy. “Billy Boy, could it be the Ancestor you saw last time in the depths of Ether Mountain?”
“Most likely!” Before Billy could respond, White Tiger’s eyes lit up. “Only the old master of Ether Mountain and the old master of the Ravenwood family from a thousand years ago had such unparalleled skills!”
“Indeed!” Everyone responded simultaneously.
Billy nodded slightly.
This matter seemed almost certain!
“Aubree, there should be other reasons why people from the Lord’s Mansion don’t come to the Forbidden Ruins Space, right?” Billy looked at Aubree.
“They shouldn’t be so honest in adhering to that so-called agreement, right?”
An agreement that deters for a thousand years!
This matter seemed somewhat unreliable!
“Actually, before the current Lord took charge, Sky City did adhere strictly to that thousand-year-old agreement,” Aubree responded. “However, since the current Lord took office, the situation has subtly changed.”
“This Lord is the most talented in Sky City in a thousand years. In terms of martial arts talent alone, no one can match him!”
“And not only is he highly talented, but he is also extremely ambitious-so ambitious that his personal strength can hardly support it!”
“So, he strives to enhance his strength!”
“And due to the laws of heaven and earth, his current strength is already nearing its limit!”
“This is also why he wants to seize the ‘Spiritual Line Origin’!”
“Aubree, I don’t understand!” Judge replied. “Then why doesn’t he come to seize it himself?”
“Because of the Guardian Alliance!” Aubree continued. “Before this, he didn’t have enough confidence to confront the Guardian Alliance head-on, so he let people from the Blood and Devil Sects act on his behalf.”
“By doing this, at least on the surface, they are still adhering to that thousand-year-old agreement!”
“The Guardian Alliance can’t fully declare war on them either!”
“What about now?” Casey asked. “Why do they dare to come now?”
“As far as I know, he should have found external support, so he has less to fear!” Aubree replied.
“External support? From where?” Azure Dragon frowned slightly.
Billy and others were also slightly surprised.
Since the Lord’s Mansion is the top power in Sky City and even they don’t have enough confidence to fully confront the Guardian Alliance, where could they find external support?
“I haven’t figured out the specifics yet!” Aubree shook her head.
“Alright then!” Azure Dragon shrugged.
“By the way, Aubree, since people from Sky City can’t come to the Forbidden Ruins Space, how can you come and go freely?” Edie Fennimore asked.
“Because I have a pass token!” Aubree smiled faintly. “A thousand years ago, the Guardian Alliance left our Ethereal Sect a pass token that allows free entry and exit.”
At this point, a half-transparent token suddenly appeared in her hand as if by magic.
The material of the token was unknown. If observed closely, one would see the words ‘Guardian Alliance’ written on it.
“This is the token!” Aubree waved the token in her hand.
“Aubree, you’re amazing! Where did you just conjure that token from?” Stout was evidently more curious about this question.
Pfft!
Harleen and Ivy both chuckled.
“You don’t know about storage rings?” Aubree was slightly taken aback. After a brief pause, she seemed to remember something and continued with a faint smile.
“I forgot that there are no storage rings in the Forbidden Ruins Space. I had introduced them to Harleen and Ivy before and thought you all knew.”
“Storage rings?” Everyone was stunned again.
“Yes!” Aubree nodded. “It’s nothing special.”
While speaking, she picked up her storage ring and showed it to everyone before continuing.
“This storage ring is imbued with high-level arrays that create an independent space for storage purposes.”
“Except for living things, anything else can be stored inside.”
“Of course, storage rings come in different levels. The higher the level, the larger the space.”
“What a great thing!” Stout was full of curiosity. “If I had one, I wouldn’t need to carry a bag anymore when I go out!”
Billy and others: “…”
“Aubree, where can we get such storage rings?” Azure Dragon asked.
“They’re available in Sky City. Although they’re not cheap, they’re quite common!” Aubree replied. “I left in a hurry this time and forgot about it. Next time I’ll bring one for each of you.”
“Really?” Stout’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Aubree!”
“It’s nothing!” Aubree smiled.
While speaking, she put away the pass token at her waist and released spiritual power to remove her ownership of the storage ring in her hand.
Then, with a slight flip of her wrist, she sent the storage ring flying towards Billy.
“Mr Billy, you can use this storage ring first. Next time I come over, I’ll get you a higher-level one.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Aubree, but maybe next time…” Billy was slightly taken aback and started to speak.
“It’s nothing; just take it!” Aubree interrupted Billy with a faint smile.
“This isn’t appropriate; please…” Billy was stunned again.
“Mr Billy doesn’t seem like someone who fusses over small matters; there’s no need to refuse such a small thing!” Aubree interrupted him again.
“Billy, since Aubree is being considerate, just accept it!” Stephanie Stuart smiled from beside him.
“Thank you, Aubree!” Billy didn’t refuse anymore and reached out to take the storage ring.
