Chapter 978 Ancient Sky Battlefield Secret (1)

?Ace was startled when he heard Sofia's shocking words, 'Sensitive towards space? Don't tell me she had some shocking space ability! But then, why didn't she expose me in front of the others?' (f)reewe(b)novel

Ace was perplexed as he didn't understand what this woman was up to. But at this moment, the ground beneath began to turn red as the killing intent enveloped the entire space.

The golden talisman in Sofia's hand also dimmed down as it was no longer useful. But she remained composed as her eyes remained affixed on Ace without any hint of panic.

In the end, Ace decided to come out. He wanted to know what this woman was scheming. He wasn't afraid of her as he could escape whatever he wanted.

Sofia's eyes shimmered in a peculiar light when Ace's dark, hooded figure appeared before her. Although she sensed the disruption in the space, she couldn't see past it.

She just knew something was strange and tried to probe, but she didn't expect her conjecture to be true. But now, seeing Ace, she can't see through his cultivation base. In fact, she didn't even sense his presence as if he was a ghost. Instead, if Ace had used his stealth, she could've never been able to find him.

"Who are you? How did you get here and open those doors, and what did you find?" She asked impassively, looking at Ace, who was a dwarf in front of her while hiding her sense of unease.

Ace had already taken Abner's disguise, as he coldly replied, "Shouldn't you tell me first why didn't you expose me in front of your seniors? You waited for them to escape. Maybe if they were here, I would be wary of you, but now, you don't stand a chance. Either you're pure arrogant or confident in your abilities."

Sofia's eyes narrowed before she suddenly smiled like a blooming flower, "Fair enough. I'll tell you honestly why I didn't say anything in their presence. The truth is those old fogeys are too conservative and afraid of dying. Don't you see how quickly and decisively they fled? They had lost their will of freedom and all they want is to live no matter the cost.

"If I had exposed you, they would've been wary of you since you opened the two mountains, which not even my ancestors couldn't, and once they realized that it was too dangerous to fight you, they would've escaped without hesitation.

"So, I didn't bother to waste time, and instead, I decided to hide it from them. Since you have the ability to come here unnoticed and open this place, I want to make a deal with you." Sofia revealed her true intentions.

'This woman…' Ace was astounded as he looked deeply into Sofie's eyes, and he could see deep ambition.

Intrigued, he asked, "What kind of deal?"

"Unlike the others who are too afraid to leave the protection of this city, I'm not afraid, and I have explored the Ancient Sky Battlefield Plain's depths. There is a massive battlefield in the depth of this place filled with corpses which should be the core of the Ancient Sky Battlefield Plain.

"But I didn't dare to explore further as the restriction on that place is the strongest. Furthermore, there is a strange formation protecting those lands. Similarly, in the center of that battlefield is a massive canyon.

"According to the annals of the history of the Ancient Sky Battlefield and my own assumption, there was a battle of gods that took place here, and that canyon was formed by a sword slash, and it should be the reason for this killing intent as well!" Sofia revealed solemnly.

Ace was shocked, 'A sword slash creating a canyon? Could it really be a battlefield of gods? But how could they appear in the mortal sky heaven? Wait…' His eyes widened, 'System hinted that this place was abandoned by heaven, and it is also the heart of the mortal sky heaven. Don't tell me it has something to do with the Heavenly Mortal Emperor?'

Just thinking about it made his heart race.

"Let me guess, you want me to come with you to dispel that formation, right?" Ace asked while looking at Sofie. He instantly guessed what Sofia was after.

After all, he had broken these mountain formations, so it was possible for him to have a way to dispel that strange formation.

Sofie nodded without hesitation, "Indeed, as long as you are willing to come with me, I promise I won't reveal anything about you to my clan. Also, I can take you away with my space abilities, so there is no need to worry about any danger. Space runes don't work within the killing intent of this place.

"As for what we found there, it'll depend on our abilities. I want you to consider it carefully; that place might be a graveyard where a god or gods fell in the past. Even just a drop of blood of a god is a priceless treasure that can help mortals like us to ascend." She emotionally stated.

It would be a lie to say Ace wasn't tempted to check this place as it was still dyed in silver color. So, there might be something useful for him here.

However, he didn't need Sofia's help at all, and he couldn't trust her no matter how sincere she was. But she knew quite a lot about the history of the Sky Heart Plains, and he knew he couldn't probe the imperial family memories, so this was a chance to get the information he wanted.

So even if Sofia betrayed him in the end, as long as he got what he wanted, he didn't care as he had his own methods to escape any danger.

"Aren't you afraid your family would suspect you since you didn't go back?" Ace was curious about this. Her mentality was quite different from the other members of the imperial family, and she didn't seem to have any respect for them.

Sofia coldly replied, "Let me worry about my family. Are you interested or not?"

Ace chuckled, "Very well, but I want some information related to ascension. If you are willing to answer some of my questions, let's sign a soul contract to seal the deal. This way, we don't have to be afraid of betrayal. This soul contract would last until we left the Ancient Sky Battlefield. Are you willing?"

Sofia looked at Ace's hooded face as all she could see was endless darkness, "As long as this information didn't touch upon taboo matters of my Skylar clan, I'm willing."

Ace's lips rose, and he nodded, "Very well, let's get on with it!"
