Eternal Thief



Both Noa and Freya looked at the mission for a while before they finally looked toward each other, and there seemed to be gunpowder in the air all of a sudden. 

"Ahem, ladies, although this seemed like a competition. But trust me, you both won't be able to achieve much progress without each other's help. So, I would strongly suggest that you two work together and then earn yourself rewards." Ace said with a straight face, but inwardly he was laughing. 

Because he knew this was the fastest way to make these two work on the cloak and even showed flawless teamwork. He knew he couldn't achieve alone, but with the help of these two iron ladies, he was destined to achieve success in this place. 

Ace's plan was quite straightforward; he wanted to take full control of the humans present in this place, especially the upper echelon of the five ancient sects. The First Azure Elder, Glen, in particular, was the biggest target of his interest. 

But he wasn't fool to go after a quasi-law awareness realm, and he even added these guys' cultivation details below their names so both Noa and Freya would choose their targets wisely or won't mess up accidentally.

Ace knew better than anyone with Freya's controlling abilities and Noa's might, they both could subdue almost every human on the list, and the only concern was these six elders.

Nevertheless, when he saw both women didn't even seem to be bothered by the targets' details, he knew they were most likely going after those guys since they were challenging for them so they could test their abilities. 

It was also a good chance for Ace himself to have a throughout assessment of their new-found abilities and prowess. If they were able to subdue even Glen, then Ace would be even less worried about his venture to save Alina and have ample information to work on. 

"Why don't you just tell us where these guys are and let us decide how we should work together?" Freya spoke at this moment with a clear haughtiness in her voice. 

While, Noa remained silent, which simply meant she agreed with Freya and wanted to fight out with her. 

This mission was something they both took seriously, Freya, because she knew Noa was the first member and also someone Ace fully trusted, and she wanted to see who would come off top, Evil or Assassin. 

As for Noa, she wanted to prove herself, however, not to Freya but to Ace. But it would be a lie to say she didn't want to teach Freya a lesson while she was at it. 

So what Ace just did only pour oil in a small fire and turn them into raging flames. 

How could Ace didn't know this? 

But he was far more concerned about those guys than these two, and he was also there to help them as he wasn't planning just to watch and would step in if necessary.

With a willy grin, he nodded, "Alright, but I'm again telling you don't kill or alert anyone. Now, let me show you the playing ground." 

Ace then takes out his flying sword and then expands it. 

Noa was familiar with this technique now, but Freya wasn't, and she had no idea why Ace or Noa were standing over Ace's sword so nonchalantly and how this sword could even expand. 

"What are you doing? Hope on." Ace urged her, which only made Freya perplexed, but she still did as she was told and wanted to see what this atrocity was all about. 

But the moment, she stepped on the sword blade, she instantly felt her feet suddenly glued to it when Qi was pouring into the blade, and the next moment, she was dumbfounded when it started to lift from the ground.

"W-what… how miraculous!" She couldn't help but exclaim, and Noa secretly agreed with her as she also wanted to learn this technique as well. 

Ace chuckled as he knew what they were thinking and stated, "Don't worry, we'll all have ample time to study this technique. I have quite a bounty full harvest from the Sun Secret Realm and have gained many ancient techniques and skills. I think this will greatly enrich your library. Not to mention we all can learn many things from it." 

Both women's eyes shone with anticipation when they heard Ace's words, and they knew Ace had most likely robbed the entire Sun Secret Realm with how much happy he was. 

Ace then suddenly thought of something and asked Freya, "Evil, is your avatar free right now?" 

Ace knew Freya's witch avatar; Jessie couldn't enter the thief house space despite her being Freya's own avatar, as they had already tried. So, she was still in the thief's space at this moment, and cultivating after both Eva and Freya hadn't been able to have any breakthrough about the map. 

"I guess so. I won't need it until I reach the peak of the Soul Embryo Manifestation Realm, which will take some time since advancing in this realm is hundreds of times harder than in the previous realm. So, I'm planning on raising Jessie's own cultivation in the meantime and probably awake some of the Grim Ancestor's bloodline abilities." Freya truthfully revealed her plan since there was nothing to hide. 

Noa, on the other hand, became confused as she was still not aware of what happened in the thief's space after she was immersed in refining the spirit fire. Nevertheless, she listened attentively. 

Ace thought a moment before he asked ambiguously, "What if I want to send your avatar back to the Demon Continent? Do you think the Spica syndicate will still follow you, or will Aliya still be loyal?" 

Freya squinted her eyes ever so slightly, "Despite my absence and lack of contact, whether it's Aliya or Spica syndicate, they will not escape from my grasp. But I was under the impression you might need Jessie in the Azure Wind Continent. What are you planning, Leader?" 

Ace subtly replied, "Just helping a friend a little while also arranging a few things after we are done with the Azure Wind Continent. That's why after we are done with the humans…!"
