Eternal Thief

The Northern Imperial Domain, inside a luxurious hall,

Sitting in this hall were two masked demons emanating suffocating auras while sitting in front of them were also two begins in black robes and black masks, only their crimson eyeballs visible, and their pointy, long ears.

-n0ve1、com The most distinguishing features of these two begins were unlike demons: they had dark brown folded bat wings behind them, and their auras were extremely sinister, which would make anyone flee far away from them.

The red-masked demon coldly uttered at this moment, "So, what do we owe this honor of receiving two esteemed devil envoys without any prior notice? Perhaps you two are here for sightseeing?" He was clearly unhappy about these two visitors from afar.

These two were the envoy of the Devil Race and they appeared here without any prior notice. Only when they had already entered the waters of the demon continent, they issued an alert for their arrival!

This action naturally made demons furious because it was clearly the devil race showing no face to the demon race and coming here as they pleased as if no one would dare to stop them.

Although the relationship between the two races was known as friendly by the other continents, they were not that friendly at all.

On the contrary, the devil race was always on guard against the demon race because only they could pose a threat to their number one position in this world.

While the demon race was also ambitious but never showed their fangs because a fight between continents wasn't a joke, and if these two hegemonies clashed, the Hunters will not let this chance pass by and might try to play the fisherman.

These three races maintain a delicate balance and keep each other in check unless someone had completely lost their mind, they would never start an all-out war.

The visit of these two devil envoys was quite sudden, and many demons have some idea about why they were there.

After what happened on the outer continent, it wasn't a secret anymore that they were continually being tricked by the conniving thief Sky Stealer, and this matter just couldn't be contained after his last thievery.

It was the biggest humiliation of the demon race, and they wanted to do anything to capture that thief and skin him alive publicly, but that conniving bastard was too wily and still hiding somewhere.

Despite the demon race's best efforts, they still had made no progress, heck, they didn't even find a single clue about his whereabouts yet. It was like he had vanished into thin air.

Now, these two fellows were here, and everyone knew they weren't here out of the goodness of their hearts but to rub salt in their wounds.

Nevertheless, they couldn't do anything about it since the Ancient Alliance Gathering was coming, and every race had put many resources into this venture this time.

So, if demons make devils dissatisfied, then they might work together with hunters to get rid of them in the secret realm which the demon knows that the hunter would happily agree.

So, they could do nothing but swallow their dissatisfaction and cope with these two envoys.

These two demons were Elder Demons from the Imperial Demon Council, and we're here to tackle these two devil envoys.

One of the devils spoke in a jeering tone, "The Sixth Demon Elder sure are generous but I won't be able to enjoy the scenery while knowing there's a thief roaming freeing out there."

"You!" Sixth Demon Elder's voice turned sharp as his aura spiked, he was enraged!

"Sixth Demon Elder, control yourself!" The second demon in blue masked sternly warned.

"Indeed, there's no need to take it seriously, Sixth Demon Elder. My second brother like to jest. I apologized if you found his words offensive." The second devil in his husky voice also spoke while shooting an unhappy glance at his second brother.

They were both in someone else's territory, and the other party was showing much consideration by just not attacking them and treating them with utmost importance and ethics.

But if they pushed them too hard, he knew demons weren't pushovers at all.

"Humph!" Sixth Demon Elder grunt coldly, and his aura return to normal.

He also knew attacking them would turn the situation worse and since the other party issued an apology, he couldn't be unreasonable. After all, it was he who provoked them in the first place.

This time, the demon in the blue mask spoke, "Let's not beat around the bush, shall we? So why do you want?" His voice was calm and filled with authority.

The devil, with a husky voice, also didn't let his second brother speak and seriously stated, "Fourth Demon Elder, we are not here to cause trouble or to pick a fight with your guys.

"We are here to help you with your thief's matter. Our races had always lent a hand to each other in predicaments in past, and this time isn't any different as well. I hope we'll receive a positive answer."

Fourth Demon Elder already knows about this, "We naturally appreciate devil race concern and won't slap a helping hand away. But His Imperial Majesty would definitely want to know the reason behind your help and the compensation you want.

"Let's be honest with each other, nothing is free in this world, and we won't take this help without returning something, so please speak freely."

"It would be indeed disrespectful of us if we didn't take the generous offer of His Imperial Majesty the Demon Emperor." The devil said impassively, "I would be blunt with my request, then. We just want that thief's corpse, nothing else."

Sixth Demon Elder blurted in anger when he heard this, "Do you take us for a fool?! The corpse of that thief is undoubtedly the most precious thing on him, and you want that, of all things?"

Fourth Demon Elder also nodded and coldly said, "It's indeed an unreasonable request and you're not giving us any chance of discussion at all."

"I know this very well and your plight, but please consider it. You know about our Blood Clan's innate ability to sense the blood aura which couldn't be hidden with disguise tools or abilities.

"As long as this thief is not from the demon race, we'll be able to pinpoint his direction. We're even willing to perform a blood ritual, which you should know is a secret technique of our Blood Clan, which had a powerful side effect on our vitality.

"I think it's proof of our sincerity in working with you guys. We just want his corpse, and you can have anything else on him and even execute him publicly." The devil said frankly.

Fourth and Sixth Demon Elders were shocked when they heard 'Blood Ritual' which was the infamous technique of the number one and dominant clan of Devil Race the Blood Clan, for its tracking abilities, and no one could escape it, no matter the strength!

They both were now speechless since even they thought this offer was quite generous, and they could also get rid of that thief for good.

The water had long crossed the bridge, and every day that thief remained free the demon race was losing face.

The devil duo sensed the demon elders' hesitation, and they glanced at each other and decided to hit while the iron was still hot.

"I'll also tell you something which is only known by our clan for now and the situation the demon race is in." The devil said ambiguously.

The Sixth Demon Elder was confused. "What do you mean?"

"The human race was going to wake their Prime One for some reason, and the last time we heard from our spies was five months ago. You should know what this means, right?" The devil said coolly.

The Sixth Demon Elder abruptly stood up when he heard and shouted, "Why?! Did they finally lose their mind? Aren't those guys under you?"

Fourth Demon Elder's aura also spiked, as he wanted the answer to this exact question.

The devil sighed, "You guys know the human race never loses their ambition, and they had a knack for striking when someone least expected it. The Fiery Hell Realm before and now is completely different, and I'm afraid the beast race might work with humans this time to force us in giving them some slots to fight for the spirit fire.

"Currently, a strange thing is happening in the beast continent, and I'm afraid the humans have already decided to become independent again the moment they get rid of our people and decided to awake their Prime One.

"Don't forget that thief now had that hex book which had the entire inheritance of the witch race. It was a terrible decision to let it out, but since it happens, we need to act before he masters that book."

The Devil's voice went stern. "We can't let him mature anymore. Last time, it took both Devil and Demon Ancestors to kill the leader of the witch race, and we can't afford another such variable appearing right at this time.

"It might really turn the tides of power this time, and with the spirit fire appearing in the mix, I'm afraid the long peace of Golden Sky World will shatter!"
