Eternal Thief

Just as White Sword’s voice faded, a burst of jolly laughter rang, followed by a powerful deep voice, “Hahaha… Elder Brother Sword, it’s been such a long time since you visit my domain!”

The old demoness with the black gem on her forehead frowned as she mumbled, “The Lunatic Blade finally appeared!”

The other three elders also showed different emotions, while White Sword’s lips slightly rose in a faint smile.

At this moment, the assembly hall’s large door smack opened, and a tall and broad-shouldered middle-aged demon entered everyone’s view.

This newcomer was 2.6-meter-tall with a sturdy build. He wore black long king’s robes with a blade insignia on its back. His skin was bright silver, while his eyeballs were crimson. His long red hair was like crimson fire, while his two silver horns were as sharp as two thin blades.

Two long blades were sheathed around his waist in black scabbards. He wore a broad smile on his pale silver lips, which showed his white beastly teeth.

This demon was none other than the Blade Demon King of Mighty Blade Province and also known as the Lunatic Blade within Soul Manifestation Realm Circle of Almighty Demon Empire!

As for why they called him Lunatic Blade, it was because Blade Demon King was a battle manic, and he’ll challenge anyone who he found strong. He had no regard for their status or authority. His personality was straightforward.

“It seemed you’re still crazy as ever, heh little blade.” White Sword looked meaningfully at Blade Demon King with a faint smile.

If anyone dared to call Blade Demon King, Little Blade, they’ll be instantly chopped into a thousand pieces, but Blade Demon King didn’t seem angry at all. On the contrary, his smile widened while looking at White Sword.

He said, “Haha, Elder Brother Sword, you know me too well. I don’t like pretentious or formalities. But you hurt this little brother’s feeling by not even saying a word before coming to my home, and didn’t even stop by at my castle for reminiscing over wine.”

The old demoness with silver and golden eyeballs suddenly said with pursed lips, “Lunatic Blade, watch how you’re talking with the First High Elder of the Royal Demon Council!”

Her tone was clearly unfriendly as if she was holding a deep grudge against Blade Demon King.

Blade Demon King merely threw an annoying gaze at this old demoness and said with pursed lips, “Old Witch, Lora, do you want to lose with another three moves?”

Lora’s wrinkled face instantly flashed when Blade Demon King revealed her biggest shame in front of everyone. It was like someone just lit her tail on fire!

Harold was flabbergasted, and all the other elders of the Royal Demon Council were also watching all this with incredulity. But no one dared to say even a word, heck, they won’t even dare to breathe loudly because they could tell Blade Demon King’s words were true and Lora will kill them to hide her secret, and they pretend to not hear anything. But it was still shocking news that Lora had lost to Blade Demon King in three moves!

Nevertheless, the way these Soul Manifestation Realm Eccentrics were talking with each other left everyone baffled, especially White Sword calling Blade Demon King, ‘Little Blade’ and the other party reacting positively afterward.

Before Lora could fly toward Blade Demon King and attack him, White Sword’s deep voice rang with a mountainous pressure. “We didn’t have time to play around right now. They’re here!”

Blade Demon King’s easygoing demeanor suddenly changed into seriousness, as he also felt a very strong aura from outside. It was far stronger than White Sword. It was clear the other party deliberately releasing its aura.contemporary romance

Lora also swallowed her resentment and hatefully glare dagger at Blade Demon King, but didn’t say another word.

Thereupon, two more tall and slim figures entered the assembly hall. Both were hiding their faces with black masks and wearing similar plain black robes.

However, the masked demon with pitch black eyeballs was giving off a very scary aura like a deadly snake, he was emotionlessly watching everyone. He was standing two steps behind the other mask demon, which clearly implied that he was a servant despite his deep cultivation!

As the other mask demon standing in front, his mask was even hiding his eyeballs with a thin layer of the dark mist. Furthermore, no one inside the assembly hall could see through his cultivation as if he was just a mortal demon, but everyone knew he was nothing but normal!

Just this demon’s extraordinary bearing and the way he was facing six soul manifestation experts were enough to tell he had an extraordinary background.

This made everyone in the assembly hall astonished.

Both mask demons’ horns were nowhere to be seen and everyone inside this hall have some idea that they were using some kind of illusion to hide their horns and that their black hair color might also be fake.

Moreover, the other demon seemed to even have a treasure to hide his cultivation, and no one tried to probe it either with their martial sense as well because it would be too rude and simply courting death with that other powerful demon behind him.

White Sword promptly stood up and greeted with a noble demon salute, “I welcome the Royal Envoys from Royal Zone!”

Everyone’s faces changed when they heard ‘Royal Envoys’ because they knew only someone from the royal zone had the right to be greeted by the First High Elder of the Royal Demon Council in this manner, not even demon kings make him his head lower.

Everyone quickly stood up and follow suit as all the high elders and Blade Demon King perform the same salute as White Sword, while Harold and all the other Royal Demon Council Elder fell to their knees.

The demon who seemed with no cultivation said in a deep, imposing voice, “Killer, get me a chair.”

The demon with pitch black eyeballs suddenly blurred for a moment before coming back to his position within a moment. But a black throne had appeared behind the commanding demon while the White Sword’s throne had vanished from its position because this black throne was originally his, to begin with.

Those soul manifestation realms’ high elders and Blade Demon King were shocked because they didn’t clearly see this ‘Killer’ moving, and before they react, he had already moved the black throne right under White Sword’s nose.

The other demon didn’t mind their shocking expression, nor did he show any hint of apologizing to White Sword for talking on his throne so rudely and comfortably sitting on it before saying, “At ease, everyone.”

Everyone was looking at this ordinary demon with astonishment because it was clear now that he was the leader between him and Killer, and he can easily order around a soul manifestation realm demon who seemed even more powerful than White Sword.

Which clearly made them dread this mysterious demon even more and his background inside the royal zone. No one dare to sit anymore, even high elders because White Sword was standing with an impassive face.

He didn’t show any kind of emotion and just looked at the demon sitting on his throne. This was a blunt disrespect to him, but he knew he wasn’t a match for the other party, so he could only endure without even showing his anger.

Even someone like Blade Demon King didn’t show any kind of discomfort, although he was a battle lunatic he wasn’t a suicidal lunatic, and he could tell clashing with the other party would not go in a very pleasant ending this was still his domain, and home.

A fight between soul manifestation realm experts was never pretty for those below this realm!

The demon sitting on the throne spoke again, “I’ll not take all the elders’ important time. I’m here to announce two things on the behalf of Emperor’s Domain!”

It was another shock for everyone. What was Emperor’s Domain? It was the central area of the mighty demon continent, where the Demon Emperor Palace was located!

They finally understand this masked demon was probably someone from the royal family since only a member of the royal family can represent the Emperor’s Domain!

This time it was not just council elders but High Elders and Demon King who also fell on their knees and White Sword deeply said, “We’re ready to receive his imperial highness announcement!”

The demon on the throne didn’t reject being called, ‘Imperial Highness’, which was also akin to silently admitting he was from Emperor’s Domain.

He said, “First, I’m here to arrest the vile villain of Hex Demon Race and I want elders’ support.”

“Your Imperial Highness, you’re too polite. We’ll naturally assist you!” White Sword quickly agreed, and everyone nodded after him.

They must be tired of living if they reject this person’s request.

“Good.” He merely nodded before an exquisite golden scroll appeared in his hand with a red seal.

He opened it and read, “The second announcement is for all the demon race youths outside the royal zone!”

“For the first time in the history of our demon race, in Twenty-Four Months, the royal zone will open its gates for all the young demons in common provinces!

“Any demon with at least soul realm potential bloodline, age below 100, and cultivation below River Core Realm is eligible for participating in the trails of three Demon Institutes of Royal Zone as long as they pass the Demon Gates Trail…!”
