Eternal Thief

After George left, the members of the Weston clan faction remained in a stupor until Floyd’s jolly laugh rang, and everyone returned to their senses.

But they knew it wasn’t a dream or that they were imagining things. George, the newbie, stood against Floyd, arrogantly sat beside him, and left after leaving a warning. The most shocking part was that George did all this under Floyd’s spiritual pressure!

What was spiritual pressure? It was a unique trait of an Ascension Grand General’s Law Sense; they awakened it after they stepped into this realm. Spiritual pressure originated from the prime law of a cultivator, and the stronger the prime law, the more deadly and powerful their spiritual pressure.

After entering the Ascension Solider, a cultivator’s soul/martial sense evolved into Law Sense. Once they stepped into Ascension Grand General, the law sense had spiritual pressure that could actually attack or restrain a cultivator without any spirit Qi or spells.

All in all, spiritual pressure was a symbol of a Grand Ascension General, and without spiritual pressure to counterattack, no one could escape.

That’s why everyone was shocked that George could move around as he pleased under Floyd’s spiritual pressure. Although they knew Floyd didn’t release his entire spiritual pressure or intend to harm George, it was still a massive deal for an Ascension Soldier to move even a finger.

Ted also remembered how George could keep up with him despite using his Ascension Warrior speed, and now he could even move around under Floyd’s spiritual pressure. He sucked a cold air as he glanced towards Floyd, who was laughing while Avery had a thoughtful yet icy expression, and he didn’t dare to say anything, or anyone, as a matter of fact.

“What do you think?” Floyd suddenly stopped laughing and asked Avery gently through spiritual transmission.

Avery thought for a moment before she hesitantly replied, “Extraordinary, but too arrogant!” A cold glint flashed past her eyes as she couldn’t forget how George behaved in front of Floyd.

Floyd chuckled as his eyes shimmered mysteriously. He remembered the feeling he had when George suddenly warned them, and his heart stirred slightly.

However, he didn’t comment on this and looked at everyone, “Everyone, please give me some face and keep what happened here today a secret. I’ll personally explain it to the clan. Oh, and don’t do anything to him. I don’t think he needs any faction to protect him.

“In fact, we approach him too hastily without even asking if he needs us or not. It was an error on our part. But do keep an eye on his activities. Let’s see if he can really flip the entire Chief Hall Court, or he’ll stumble to reality.” He phrased with anticipation in his eyes.

Everyone hesitated, but they still nodded in agreement since no one was bold enough to do what George did. They secretly sneered in their hearts because they knew George would suffer, and he didn’t know how to acknowledge their kindness.

Floyd nodded in satisfaction as he said, “Alright, you may go back and do whatever you were doing.”

Before long, everyone left, leaving only Floyd and Avery. At this moment, Floyd picked up the teapot, but he was startled when he found it empty.

“Hahaha… that prick drank all the Heart Calming Spirit Tea like water. Even Ascension Warrior can only handle a sip or two before they are filled with spirit Qi. He’s no simple.” Floyd stated with a cold yet amusing smile.

“I’ll brew more for you.” Avery gently said as her icy demeanor completely vanished.

“No need. It would be best if you focused on your cultivation and forging. Don’t you want to challenge her? I hope you can raise your rank.” His expression was stern and filled with care.

An enthralling smile bloomed on Avery’s face as she felt happiness in her heart. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely raise my rank and have my revenge. Didn’t you want to beat Nathaniel and Avalynn? You should also be cultivating. This was just a fool’s errand from the start. You should’ve let me handle it.”

Floyd smiled bitterly, shaking his head, “There is no hope for me this time. As for George, it wasn’t bad at all. If he’s as talented as my father told me, then I think the steel wall named Nathaniel and Avalynn would soon be breached!”

Creepy coldness shimmered in his eyes when he said those names; they were his biggest rivals, yet also enemies!

After Ace left Floyd’s courtyard, he couldn’t help but smile meaningfully as he had already got what he wanted.

‘So that was Spiritual Pressure of an Ascension Grand General, huh? Even though he was only using a portion of it, I still felt quite oppressive. But I’m confident that as long as I use my prime law, I can escape from spiritual pressures!

‘Anyhow, it seemed despite being unruly, they still cared about the rules and their own image. As long as I don’t give anyone a reason to attack me, no one would try anything funny, especially with all the attention on me at this moment.

‘But this also means, if I make mistakes, they’ll instantly come after me with everything they have. But since the Sect Master is behind me, I want to see how much they can tolerate or how far I can go. The easiest way to check this is…’

Ace’s eyes flashed with thievish glint as he looked towards an alleyway, and his lips curled up. “He’s out! But it was too quick. What could’ve happened?” Harper-Rose, who was hiding in the alleyway and observing the third courtyard, said to the other people hiding here with him. Although their faction leaders told them to ‘invite’ George, they didn’t dare do anything once they reached Floyd’s territory, no matter how much guts they had. Unless their faction leaders came personally, they wouldn’t do anything stupid.

“Since he’s out, nothing else matters. Let’s capture him once he leaves Floyd’s territory!” A dainty woman coldly stated, “As for who takes him first, how about whoever captures him first will decide?”

No one rejected this idea, and they all nodded in agreement as if they were dividing spoils.

But then, Harper-Rose’s expression suddenly changed, “He’s gone!”

“What do you mean he’s gone?” a crook-looking guy asked with disbelief as he looked towards the spot where Ace had vanished. He was shocked: “I only take my off of him for a moment, and he’s gone!”

“Dumbass, was I speaking in the beast language just now?” Harper-Rose cursed before quickly saying, “Quickly scatter and find me, or I don’t know about you, I’ll be punished!” They were all anxious and were about to search for him when suddenly, “ahahhh!”

The dainty woman suddenly screamed, and everyone looked over in shock. They thought someone had attacked them. But there was no one.

“What are you screaming for!? Do you want to cause a scene here, dumb woman?!” Harper- Rose cursed again as he wanted to slap her.

But that woman didn’t care, as her eyes were affixed to her finger. When they all followed her eyes, they were startled because there was a vivid owl tattoo on her finger.

“What’s this?” The crook-looking guy asked currishly.

“I-I…I don’t know! My strong ring was there, and I was about to take out a treasure when I sensed it was gone, and this strange tattoo had appeared!” The woman truthfully revealed

with a hint of fear.

“Do you think we are fools?!” Harper-Rose didn’t believe her and thought she was just trying to distract them. He tried to take out his own treasure, but his expression instantly changed, and a terrible feeling rose in his heart.

With trembling eyes, he looked at his finger, where his ring was, and just as he suspected it was gone, the thing that sent shivers all over his body was the same owl symbol on his finger.

“Fucker… whoooo!!!!!!!!”

Harper-Rose’s painful roars rang in the disciple district, followed by many more, alarming

everyone!
