775 I Do What I Feel Like Doing!
After making up his mind to infiltrate the humans’ ranks and have taken him there themselves, Ace naturally came back to observe how these guys would react to this, and only then would he be able to plan accordingly.
But after seeing the entire thing played out, it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t glad, and now he has a far better understanding of how these guys did not even trust each other, much less work together.
‘According to the memories of that demon, the demon minister would most likely contact the Demon Emperor or that giant demon, for all I know. As for the devils, they will also be going to contact their respective Arch Devils, and the hunters will contact their elemental lords. As for the humans…’ A cold glint flashed past his eyes when he thought that they would most likely be going to contact the Dream Shatter Ancestor!
Ace was well aware of how the ranking system worked in the top three races. Unlike the demons, the devil or hunter races were not united under a single imperial family’s leadership.
The All Devil Continent was divided among 10 Devil Clans, Blood, Dark, Vile, Ghost, Bone, Toxic, Imp, Lightning, Onyx, and Shadow Clans were the names of the ten devil clans that rule the All Devil Continent, and each clan was under the control of an Arch Devil.
As for the hunters, the Blood Continent was ruled by the five elemental clans, Purple Lightning, Sky Fire, Sword Wind, Life Wood, and the Silver Ice Clans, respectively, and each clan was ruled by the Elemental Lord.
The Azure Wind Continent was also distributed among the five ancient sects, but they all still bowed their head and answered to only one person, the Dream Shatter Ancestor, also the Grand Elder of the Azure Wind Mountain Sect.
Ace’s target was naturally the Azure Wind Mountain Sect because that Dream Shatter would let Alina out of his sight or keep her somewhere where he could reach in a moment’s notice.
So, Ace was interested in the First Azure Elder far more than another because he also got a piece of startling information from the demon’s memories that the First Azure Elder was a Direct Disciple of the Demon Shatter!
But Ace’s actual problem was the humans around the First Azure Elder were all Soul Manifestation Realm Cultivators, and he himself was a Quasi Law Awareness Realm Cultivator.
That’s why not to mention gaining any information. Even getting closer to him would be a fool’s dream. It was only the case for him, though.
Ace then turned his sword toward the west and headed toward a small empty Island within the archipelago.
From the sky, Ace has already managed to get a good picture of where those five races were camping and where he would get absolute privacy.
The island Ace cost was in the far west, and it was only around three hundred meters in size. Then he took out some formation plates, making it even more impossible for others to detect or pry into this island.
With his new-found wealth, he was even confident of keeping a Quasi Law Awareness Realm Cultivator in check and might be able to hold up against a true Law Awareness Realm Cultivator for some time.
But he didn’t want to do it because it was simply too dangerous, and there wasn’t any need to take any risks when he could just use his head.
After making sure that it was now completely safe, Ace sent a transmission into thief space, and then a few moments later, he waved his sleeve, and Thomas appeared again!
Thomas was still wearing the armor and the mask, but his aura was now completely different from when Ace had stored him in the thief’s space. Not only the nefarious feeling he gave was gone, but his cultivation also seemed to be completely reset, and he was now a mortal demon.
At this moment, Thomas finally took off the mask, and his tan, handsome face appeared, but it was filled with bewilderment and complicated emotions as he looked at the hooded figure in front of him.
Thomas had never expected that all his problems would be solved just like this, and it took less than an hour.
He didn’t know how to thank or even feel right now, but one thing was sure, he was absolutely grateful to Ace for granting him this new lease on life, and he didn’t even ask for anything in return. He even felt ashamed of himself for even thinking badly about Ace in the past.
Nevertheless, the pain and the hatred in his heart were still burning hotter than ever, and now that he was free and cured, he wanted to do nothing but work on his revenge against those bastards.
But first, he has to show his gratitude and is about to kneel again when a strong force suddenly stops him in his place.
Ace’s solemn voice soon follows suit, “Brother Thomas, a man should only kneel in front of his parents and ancestors, and I’m none of those people. Don’t do this again, or I’ll consider it as if you are slapping me on my face.”
Thomas took a deep breath with myriad emotions in his eyes as he nodded, “Thank you for helping an ungrateful bastard like me. I will never forget this!”

Thomas was stumped by the question because he was also wondering about the same, not to mention revenge. Just going back to the demon continent would be an act of courting death.
Furthermore, if those demons saw him, he would be dead anyway, so now he was in another dilemma.
Ace had expected this much, so he didn’t beat around the bush and offered, “See? You are again treating me like an outsider and not asking for my help while I am still standing here. Here, I have already prepared some things for you!”
