Eternal Thief

Chapter 670 Came From The Ten Continents!

Leaving behind their old posts, both guards quickly headed toward the back of the mountain.

The Hunting Squad was an open squad for any volunteer, but it was also the most dangerous squad to enter as well because of the demonic beast residing in the forest.

The death toll of the hunting squad was quite high. Humans seldom joined this squad because their physiques were not as robust as Demons or Devils, nor they had the innate ability to use the basic element Qi without even cultivating like the hunters.

Still, the hunting squad was quite lucrative because there was an ample amount of food here, and thatʼs why those daring souls still joined them.

Today was no different as there was a queue in front of a stone desk right in the open, and a blue skin demon was dismissively looking at those in the queue. After taking a single glance at someone, he would utter, ʼSquad #4, Squad #5, or Squad #6.

Douglas and Adolph joined the queue as they were holding their spears which were actually the property of the guard unit. But as long as they werenʼt found, no one would care about two rusty spears.

Furthermore, in Douglasʼs mind, they were escaping the Mountain Lordʼs detection, so they needed to live in the forest for some time, so they needed this weapon no matter what.

Soon, it was Douglas and Adolphʼs turn. The demon gave those two only humans holding spears and standing straight. His lips curled up slightly for the first time, ”You both, Squad #2.”

Aceʼs eyes narrowed slightly as he felt malice from this demon. He was too familiar with the way demons do things. Still, this demon was only a mortal, so he didnʼt need to worry about it.

All he wanted to do was to check if his theory was right or not before he would bounce from this place without anyone noticing a thing.

This forest was the perfect face for him to go entirely since getting killed in that place was a regular thing, and no one would investigate the life of nobody.

Besides, if the unionʼs rules were absolute, then why did this demon have ill intentions toward them?

Ace was looking forward to it!

At this moment, inside a bright hall filled with the smell of nature and decorated with exquisite jade and woodwork.

The blue robes man on the flying sword entered as his arrogance was completely gone, and he appeared highly respectful as he headed toward the old man with long snowy hair and a long beard.

The old man was dressed in the same manner as the young man in blue. The only difference was the purple color, while the sun crest was also the same. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes close on of prying mat like a peaceful ancient status.

The blue robes young man bowed his head and said respectfully, ”Eighth Elder, Iʼm here to conclude my report about the disturbance in the crystal lake. It was some mentally ill human youth who entered the lake. And it has been taken care of.”

The old manʼs eyes trembled slightly before he opened them as gray pupils were revealed, filled with vicissitude and wisdom. He emotionlessly uttered in his husky voice, ”Bring that human here.”

The young man was shocked since he never expected this response at all because he knew no mortal was allowed in this place unless they could ascend those stairs. He wanted to ask, but when he glanced up, he saw the elder had already closed his eyes, so he swallowed his words.

”As you command.” With another bow, he quickly left the hall.

He knew that Mountain Lord might not spare that boy out of rage, and he chided him to achieve exactly this, but now he got his new orders. He was in a hurry to go and could only hope that boy was still alive.

However, just as the young man was about to take out his flying sword, Eighth Elderʼs voice suddenly rang in his head, which startled him.

”Donʼt react. Just listen carefully. I want you to kill that boy and only bring his corpse. Donʼt get discovered, or youʼll be dead!”

His entire body shuddered slightly as he could feel the killing intent hidden behind that voice. He was barely able to control his emotions before he took out the flying sword and flew away with an ashen expression as if he was making a very hard decision.

After that young man left, a three-meter-tall burly figure appeared right beside the Eighth Elder. He was wearing a golden robe while the sun crest was completely black, and there was a golden sword right in the middle of this black sun, and his face was covered behind a black mask.

Eighth Elder huskily asked without opening his eyes as he already knew who could appear bedside him without getting noticed, ”Sun Lord, did this matter really worth breaking our old tradition?”

Sun Lordʼs hands were wrapped behind his back as he replied with a chuck, ”Hah, Old Eight, youʼre just afraid of that little boy inflicting harm to the human race if something strange was discovered. Will you feel any better if I promise not to target the human race?”

Eighth Elder still didnʼt open his eyes and replied coolly, ”Sun Lord, your imagination is still as rich as ever. Besides, in the Union, we followed the rules, and if someone breaks the rule, whether it is my human race or your devil race, they will be punished equally. Even the Sun Lord canʼt change that.”

”Hahahahah….” Sun Lord suddenly burst into devilish laughter when he heard this reply as a terrifying aura descended on the entire hall turning the harmonized environment into fright.

However, the Eighth Elder remained unmoved, completely unbothered by Sun Lordʼs wanton laughter before it came to an abrupt halt as the freezing aura vanished with it.

”Old Eight, oh Old Eight, you are still as dismissive as ever, and you only care about rules. Let me tell you something interesting. I think that boy came from the ten continents!” Sun Lordʼs voice was extremely gentle, but there was a hint of madness in his voice and infinite hatred before he vanished from the hall, just like he appeared.

Eighth Elder finally opened his eyes as they were now filled with worry and terror!
