Eternal Thief

Chapter 393



All-Knowing Parrot’s overlapping voice sounded with a hint of satisfaction, “As long as you understand. Just watch out for those four clans. Although Blade Demon King has a high opinion of you, he won’t stop those four clans as long as they don’t leave any proof behind.”

Ace’s eyes turned cold and chuckled, “As long as it isn’t the demon king himself, I can manage them.” He was telling the truth.

All-Knowing Parrot replied, “I know you can. Since we have already settled our matters, I should also get going. Keep this Myriad Miles Communication Cube safe and don’t show it to anyone because only demon king grade clans have a single pair of them. Furthermore, since I have the main cube, so only I can contact you. Just keep a Qi stone in it all the time, and you’ll know once I contact you.”

Ace was astonished to hear this cube was so precious, and couldn’t help but felt it was a pity he can’t get his hands on more pairs.

Nonetheless, he agreed with All-Knowing Parrot’s settlement, “Fine. Can you get me soul-type materials or pills? I can pay you or exchange them with martial material or pills?”

Ace quickly remembered All-Knowing Parrot dealt with these kinds of things, and he wanted to see if he can get his hands-on soul-type material and pills without any impediment.

All-Knowing Parrot giggled as she said, “Hehe, I thought you never asked. I know we Hex Demons needed soul-type resources, and they are quite hard to get our hands on. But don’t worry, I can help you with it since we are allies. Just find the Lionheart Shop Owner in Inner Domain’s weapon market and show him the other token I left you in the storage ring. She’ll know what to do. Anything else?”

‘So, he even has people in the inner domain, huh? It also appeared he’s a soul path cultivator as well. Heh, I’m looking forward to meeting this All-Knowing Parrot.’

Ace smiled faintly and said, “Nothing else, Boss All-Knowing Parrot, has already helped me enough. I can’t ask for more.”

All-Knowing Parrot replied, “Heh, it’s only natural to help a fellow tribesman, so please don’t stand on ceremony. I’ll see you soon.”

Just as the All-Knowing Parrot’s voice faded, the green cube dimmed down before tuning into normal.

Ace opened and see the Qi stone was still intact, which means this time All-Knowing Parrot has cut off the connection from the other side. He changed the Qi stone with the new one and after making sure the cube was not activating; he put it in his thief’s space.

“Four demon clans of Blade Demon Tribes, huh, I have to watch out for them. As for the royal demon council, I don’t think they can scheme against me because of the loyalty contract. But I can’t rule out the possibility, either. Since the Demon King Grade Tribe has those body refinement techniques, they might have supernatural abilities…”

Ace mulled over it a long time before he sighed deeply and worried about it after he encountered any problem and rest for now.

The all-Knowing Parrot had a lovely smile on her deadly gorgeous face as she fiddled with a green cube, the same as Ace, in her slim hand, but this green cube had a marking on its surface as well.

She mumbled, “Interesting, he knew nothing about the demon race, and he also didn’t query about the Myriad Hex Manual again at all. I can understand his ignorant, but his indifference toward Myriad Hex Manual is strange.

“It seemed I have to prepare a soul contract first and have him sign it before our meeting. I can’t just put my safety in jeopardy on a chance. Not with this person. He had to show some goodwill as well.”

The all-Knowing Parrot called in a mild voice, “Aliya!”

A beautiful demoness entered the room and bowed deeply in front of All-Knowing Parrot as she respectfully said, “Your Highness!”

All-Knowing Parrot nodded in acknowledgment and said coolly, “Go to the blade domain and took over Lionheart Shop, and if Rising Sword Earl approached you, I need you to observe his purchases and what he exchanged. Report every tiny detail to me. Now go!”

Aliya was bewildered hearing this order because she knew who this Rising Sword Earl was, and she didn’t understand why he would approach them and how he know about their secret dealing den.

Nonetheless, since she already got the order from her mistress, she didn’t dare to question or neglected it and quickly left toward the blade domain.

The all-Knowing Parrot mumbled with a mesmerizing smile, but hidden deeper within was a hint of deadly coldness, “Mr. Sky Stealer, don’t betray my trust or else…”

After that day Ace spend his days in peace without any incident while he also hung out with Thomas for drinks.

But the surveillance on him didn’t stop and only increased by one more demon, which make it all the four big clans of the blade demon tribe.

However, those observers didn’t dare to make any move on him because he was still in the blade domain and if they tried anything funny, the Blade Demon King will not forgive them.

Especially after Ace’s last appearance, anyone who made the slightest bit of trouble will instantly detain without any consideration of their background.

On this day, the demoness who bought Ace and others to their inn appeared again and summon every young demon to post hastily in a spacious plaza.

After everyone appeared, the plaza almost became full of swirling tens of thousands of young demons who were here from all over the might blade province.

And it was just one of the plazas with such a scene, and there were more such venues arranged because of the number of these youths.

Ace was also in this plaza with the same broad sword, demoness. Even he felt quite shocked, seeing this many demons in one place.

At this moment, a 2.9-meter-tall, muscular demoness in tight purple robes appeared on a tall platform and there was a huge broad sword belted on her back.

She smiled and said, “Silence!” while imbuing her voice with Qi, which rang like a thundercloud in the vast plaza, making everyone shut in their traps.

Seeing everyone’s attention was finally on her, she said, “My name is Kori Green Blade, and I’m your guide and instructor for the period of your training program set up by his majesty!”

Everyone exclaimed as they whispered to each other.

Ace frowned as felt this was not going according to his assumption.

Kori said with a smile, “You are all supposed to go into the inner domain first and meet with your fellow competitors, but because of the huge number of promising youths of our might blade province it would be quite troublesome to let everyone enter the inner domain at once.

“Furthermore, only demons who had proven themselves valuable can enter the inner domain. That’s why his majesty the Blade Demon King decided to start this training program ahead of time, and it is personally drafted by his highness as well.”

Thomas chuckled at this moment. “It seemed they didn’t want to let just anyone enter the inner domain.”

Ace nodded with a grave expression on his face. With this sudden turn of events, his previous plans completely turned to dust. Going into the inner domain held a huge advantage to him, especially after his conversation with All-Knowing Parrot, but it seemed things have just become troublesome.

Kori completely ignored some youths’ ugly expressions and continue, “This training program is divided into three phases. With every phase lasted for five months. Only those who can pass the first phase can get the qualification to enter the inner domain!

“This is also a competition with rankings and the higher your rank is, the more rewards you’ll get from the reward pool, and whoever ranked within the top hundred participants will get to cultivate under Blade Demon King for three months!”

Every demon’s eyes turned fierce with burning desire. The demons were an inherently fight-hungry bunch, so it was only natural for them to rile up in the name of this competition. Especially the promise of cultivating under the blade demon king, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Furthermore, this will also increase the chances of passing the upcoming demon gate trial in twenty-two months with the Demon King’s guidance. So, this competition was going to be extremely bloody!

Kori nodded in satisfaction at seeing everyone in high spirits and announced with a smile,

“We have opened a newly ‘Training Guild’ not far away from here for you guys. You have to first register there before starting the first phase of your training, and you’ll also get information about your reward points distribution and corresponding rewards from there.

“As for the first phase, it is very simple. Each individual has five months to hunt down one hundred late third-grade (Peak Qi River Realm) demonic beasts from the Shadow Mountain Range, right on the outskirts of the blade domain!”
