The group once again started their journey after keeping the bodies of the Apes. Grey and Void followed them just like the first time, making sure to keep a good distance from the group. 

Other than the time they fought against the Apes, the rest of the journey was pretty peaceful, they left the forest after six hours, heading towards the towering city's figure that was far away. 

Grey and Void immediately stopped following them the moment they saw the city from afar. There was no use following the group anymore since they had already served their purpose. 

Grey decided it was best to wait by the side for a few minutes, waiting to make sure the group didn't notice them before they head towards the city on their own. 

While sitting down, he suddenly recalled that he gave one of his tracking devices to Ellis. He decided to pick it up so he could find the direction Ellis was located, it would be easier to search for him that way after obtaining a map of the area. 

Grey took put the device, sending his spiritual energy into it. A small hologram appeared above it, with only two light dots showing. The dots were so tiny that it was almost impossible to see them. One of the dots was at one end of the hologram, while the other was at the other end. 

"Wow! The distance is frightening! It will take me years if I try to travel this distance by foot," Grey exclaimed while staring at the plaque. 

When he was still in the Azure continent, he could still perfectly see the light dots of every single individual, while the distance between them in the hologram wasn't this huge. Just from this, Grey was certain that the distance was huge. 

"How far is it?" Void asked when he saw Grey's reaction. 

"I don't think it's wise to think about that since it'll only dishearten us. I recall Ellis saying there are multiple teleportation arrays in almost every major city, that will be our means of transport here," Grey explained, telling Void all that he knew. 

Twenty minutes later. 

The duo left the side of the road, heading towards the large city. From their current distance, Grey guessed the city was around the same size as Frost City. 

It didn't take long for them to get to the city gate. At the top of the gate, the word Eagle was boldly written on it. 

Grey and Void stared at the drawing of an Eagle at the top of the gate for a little longer before heading towards the city. He could see people passing through the gates without being stopped, so it was easy to guess there was no need for paying an entrance fee. 

Just as he was about to walk in, he was stopped by a young man who was wearing a guard uniform. 

"Show me your entry permit," The guard said, stretching out his hand. 

"Entry permit?" Grey asked with confusion written all over his face. 

The guard nodded with his hand still outstretched. 

"But, why did you come to only me when there are others going in without showing anyone this so-called 'entry permit'?" Grey asked plainly. 

Even though he wasn't the type who liked causing problems, it didn't mean he would allow others to step on him. He had been watching people go in all this while and was certain that no one showed the guards any sort of permit. 

"Hmph! No permit, no entry," The guard snorted coldly, not even bothering to explain to Grey. 

Seeing the guard harassing Grey, some people who were by the side stopped to watch the show. From their expressions, one could tell that this was not the first time this was happening. Some people didn't even bother to watch, walking into the city and getting on with their usual lives. 

'This fool, he's obviously trying to extort money from you,' Void transmitted his voice over to Grey. 

'Yeah, unfortunately, I can't really do much since I have no knowledge of how things are here,' Grey replied calmly. 

'Does that mean you're going to pay?' Void asked, surprised. 

'Of course not, I don't have any knowledge of this place doesn't mean I'm a fool,' Grey replied. 

'Heh! So what do you plan to do?' Void asked. 

They just got here, but they were already placed in a difficult situation. Although Grey didn't think much of the young man in front of him, he didn't have the thought of fighting with him since he was in the Overlord Plane. Compared to the group he encountered, he could sense that this young man was stronger than they were. 

One other thing that Grey found out was that most of the people here were either in the Origin Plane or the Overlord Plane. The ones in the Origin Plane were the minority, with most being in the Overlord Plane. Luckily, most of them in the Overlord Plane were all around their Late twenties or middle-aged. 

"Show your entry permit or piss off," The guard said. 

Grey turned around and left without speaking a word, there was no use in talking to the guard. He could tell the guard only wanted to create trouble for him, and he was not foolish enough to allow it. He could easily agree to offer some essence stones, but that would only create an avenue for these people to continue extorting him. 

"So, what now?" Void asked. 

"You're a Space Elementalist, aren't you?" Grey asked, sarcastically. 

"Oh, we're sneaking in?" Void said in realization. 

Grey smiled before walking to the side of the city wall. 

The guard who thought he would be able to bully Grey was stunned when he left without a single word. 

"Heh! I thought I would have some fun, who knew he was only a scared weakling," He said to himself. 

He turned around when he noticed the crowd staring at him. 

"What are you all staring at? Continue walking," He said smugly. 

"Shut up you reject," Someone from the crowd said, making the expression of the guard contort in annoyance. 

"Who said that?! Come out and face me!" The guard exclaimed. 

Seeing his reaction threw the crowd into a fit of laughter.
