Chapter 678: Investigating Secrets
--
The Profound Heaven Realm was beautiful despite being an ancient battlefield.
It’s littered with abandoned weapons, haphazardly made graves, craters produced from clashes, and filled with all sorts of battle scars. Yet despite the grim reminders of what happened here, everything created a fascinating sight that attracted all sorts of people, which is why it was turned into a tourist spot.
Cedric’s entourage led him deeper into the realm. Despite his request, he didn’t hear any complaints from them. They obeyed his request without any questions, though he did notice that some of them had varying reactions to this.
He could already see what’s in there despite the distance; however, it wasn’t as clear as he’d like it to be. There was a strange force that was interfering with his vision, but only a little bit. He could still see the general state of the area but not as crystal clear as he could see the rest outside of it; that’s why he wanted to go there. It piqued his curiosity, after all.
Along the way, Cedric could sense many people eyeing his carriage. Most were common folk; others were mysterious but strong people trying to guess his background.
There were some bold ones who tried approaching his entourage. Probably hoping to hitch a ride or something. But his entourage weren’t some bunch of ordinary people. Each one came from a respected background. They could sense intentions right away and could respond accordingly to the situation, preventing any further escalations if possible. If someone were to push a little too much, Cedric has no doubt that they will be dealt with shortly after.
Killing was prohibited here. The council has long discontinued any possibility of combat happening in the Profound Heaven Realm because they didn’t want to risk destabilizing the situation of the world.
But this rule only applies to a certain group of people, ones that are far beneath Cedric’s actual status. As a Scarlet VIP of the Golden Bangle Bank, he could get away from many things, so much so that even now he’s still surprised by it.
He did remember to not let this get to his head moving forward, though.
But yes, it would be a bad idea for anybody to force his or his entourage’s hand. That only results in a certain doom for the other party.
Fortunately, the remainder of the tour was peaceful. No escalations happened whatsoever. Although some did try their luck, they were chased away by the fierce aura of his entourage.
