Just ten minutes after Ace hid in the hallway, footsteps rang, making Ace vigilant as he didn't even dare to breathe.
Thereupon, a puppet servant holding a golden tray walked out from the other side.
After sensing that its cultivation was in the realm of his soul-probing range, Ace quickly used it without getting noticed by the walking puppet servant.
The puppet servant had no idea his memories of the inner palace were getting annexed by a thief as it emotionlessly walked toward its destination.
Becoming more confident when he saw no guard inside, he started to follow the puppet servant in stealth while annexing his memories and processing them at lightning speed.
The more memories he annexed, the calmer he became, and after following the puppet servant to a cross hallway with a grand door in the center, he stopped and took a turn abandoning the puppet servant since it served its purpose.
