Eternal Thief

The torture last for six exact hours before Gage has them stopped, and they left.

But everyone in the prison was laying on their back with listless and hideous expressions on their faces.

No one could talk or move.

“I-I… I hope… you all won’t die… on me… soon. It would be lonely… y-you know.” Feng’s weak yet resolute voice rang.

“H-hate… full!’ Thomas’s weak yet hoarse voice sounded. At least he was still fine.

“Heh… T-this was no-nothing!” Peter followed suit.

No one wanted to look weak at this time as they started to recover their will.

Ace smiled. He knew whatever Winter after it had to be something related to weakening their mind, and it wasn’t just about soul brand anymore. Because he was already branded with one, but she was torturing him as well.

He mused she only soul brand him for information, and now she had no use for him, but this also put him even more dangerous situation.

But he still waited for Freya.

Three days later.

The communication cube in his thief’s space shimmered for a moment before it went dormant again.

His lips curled upward in a stiff smile. ‘So, the plan is in motion.’

Because of his circumstances, he told her to use this single since he won’t be able to pick it up because everyone was around, and he was pretty sure everyone would be able to hear her voice if he activated the cube.

So, this small signal was enough assurance for him.

Three more days pass and only one day was left before the torture would begin again, but no one had any idea about it.contemporary romance

They were still recovering from injuries in their meridians, and it wasn’t a pleasant experience either. Injuries of meridians could be as bad as soul injuries, if not worse!

On top of the mountain,

Winter eyes suddenly snapped open and a glint of astonishment flashed past her eyes.

She suddenly waved her sleeve, and a projection appeared, but this time there weren’t any skeletons in it, but the living.

She saw two tall demons attacking the hidden door that lead to the gray lake!

Her heart further sank when she was that the hidden door was almost on its last legs.

Right at this moment, the demon holding a thin blade which was two-meter-long, slashed it as a milky white blade arc appeared and directly cut that door into two pieces!

“A complete Blade Intent!” She couldn’t help but exclaim, and this wasn’t the end of her surprise.

The second demon scoffed when he saw the frozen wall, and he waved his long sleeve before a huge crimson fire bird materialized and with a strange cry rushed toward the frozen wall.

A pathway started to appear in the frozen wall while the firebird continued to move toward the hidden space!

“They are Demon Kings!” She knew only a Demon King-level existence can pass through all those defensive so easily!

‘But how did they get here so quickly, and they weren’t shocked when they saw the frozen wall as well? It’s like they already knew what to expect!

‘Furthermore, there’s supposed to be only one demon king who might come here, but two appeared instead. Did he bring him to help? But how I don’t sense their presence beforehand? They might be using a grade-6 concealment treasure, at least…’

She thought of all kinds of possibilities, but none one of them lead to the strangeness of this situation.

Winter suddenly felt an urgent sense of danger because of her cautious nature.

No matter how she looked at it, this wasn’t supposed to happen!

She looked as those two demons make their way toward the surface at an extremely fast pace, and she knew no one can stop them even if she released the frozen lake it was useless against them because of its depletion, and it would also risk the hidden secret at the bottom.

So, she let them come. Two demon kings were still manageable for her with her current state.

But today was going to be the worst day of her life.

Right, when Crimson Flame and Blade Demon King landed on the solid ground, Crimson Flame suddenly put one hand on his long sleeve and a small black snake appeared, which was only one meter in size.

But Winter’s expression changed drastically when she was the black snake, which scales were like black gems!

“T-this couldn’t be the… Jade Space Serpent!? No, it can’t…”

But before she could assure herself, the small snake suddenly landed on the ground and started to increase in size at a fast pace until it was fifty meters in size.

However, it was just the start of Winter’s nightmare because that serpent suddenly opened its huge maw, and startlingly, there was a dark mist in its mouth.

Thereafter, a tall demon with a masculine build stepped out of that dark mist.

His skin was gray, and a sharp pair of golden eyes, with an extremely handsome face. He had two golden short horns and gray long hair.

This person smiled coldly as he looked at the hidden space with great interest and couldn’t help but praise it. “It seemed we might’ve struck gold this time.”

Blade Demon King chuckled with coldness in his eyes, “Brother Exalted, I have to admit your pet is superb for this kind of operation.”

This person was the eighth demon king from Beast Tamer Tribe, and he was the only demon king with a unique title because he was the strongest of them all, Exalted Demon King!

Exalted Demon King chuckled, “Little Fang is indeed incredible, but it can’t move around with its belly full, so I have to thank you two to carry it. I just hope other gentlemen won’t mind the cramped space.”

Just as his voice trailed off, other demon kings and high elders started to appear one by one.

White Sword was the first to appear as he chuckled. “It was indeed a unique experience to stay in the belly of a beast. How about you gift me one of its eggs in the future? I promise I won’t rip you off.”

Exalted Demon King smiled bitterly, “I wish senior, but this Jade Space Serpent is just too rare. I was lucky to find it in his childhood when I was traveling in the endless sea. I’m afraid finding a partner for it would be even more difficult. It might be the only one in this world.”

White Sword didn’t push the matter and smiled. “Forget it then. This old man is too old for any pet, anyway.”

Everyone appeared from the serpent’s mouth, but there were four fresh additions, excluding the Exalted Demon King.

Three were masked demons, one being Killer since his eyes were revealed, while the two others were completely covered without any hint of revelation.

As for the last person, he was giving off a feeling of dark night as his black wither face was completely peaceful without any worldly desire. But his empty eye sockets and two-meter dark antelope horns were giving off a ghastly feeling as if he was a demon crawled out straight from hell!

Despite his aged figure, he was extremely sturdy and stand tall like an unshakable mountain!

Those three masked men were standing behind this old demon without speaking any word. Despite their status, they didn’t dare to offend this old demon.

Even White Sword didn’t dare to act haughtily in front of this demon.

Everyone knows that this person signified a very high meaning behind its presence, and it means that the Demon Emperor was furious about the news of a royal beast scheming under their nose.

Even if there was a chance, the Demon Emperor clearly showed where he stands if this matter appeared to be true!

Suddenly the empty eye old demon looked at the horizon which the mountain was and said without any hint of emotion in his voice, “Still not want to come out?”

Everyone looked in the same direction with cold intent in their eyes.

An eerily husky voice rang, “Demons, I don’t want to fight today and I don’t have any malicious intention. How about I share a fortune with you and released your youths to show my goodwill, and we brush this matter off?”

White Fire eyes suddenly emit killing intent, “Beast Aura! There’s really ancient beast hidden here!”

Everyone seemed to sense this unique aura that can be released by ancient beasts, just like demons have a demonic aura whenever they used their Qi.

Exalted Demon King sneered, “Do you think you can come and go as you please in our territory? Heh, just obediently surrender, and we won’t kill you.”

On the mountain peak,

Winter’s expressions were a sight to behold at this moment because this was just too sudden, and she knew that even if she succeeded, she won’t be able to handle these many demon kings at once.

Furthermore, she felt dread from that empty-eyed, black old demon. She was entrapped on this altar like a sitting duck right now!
