Chapter 997 Life is Coming to an End! (2)

In the demon region of the United Mainland, Ace's avatar was leisurely sitting in a grand shop in the manger's room when he heard that booming voice and his expression changed.

He appeared right in top of the shop and saw the darkness spreading in the golden sky, dying it pitch black and the icy aura creeping over him.

'Villainous Heaven? This kind of hate, just how could it be? And this darkness, it even made my avatar feel fear. It's probably on the same level as the lawless darkness...' Ace was shocked as he didn't understand who this person was and how he could be so strong.

But one thing was quite clear: whoever it was, Ace was no match for it, and this situation seemed quite grave as he could feel as the icy aura filled with air the natural Qi become thinner. For cultivators, this kind of feeling was extremely suffocating, just like a mortal without air to breathe.

He wasn't the only one, as Aliya's veiled figure appeared right beside him, and her expression was paled.

"What is going on?" She hurriedly asked Ace since he was the most knowledgeable one and also someone with many secrets.

He was overseeing the syndicate in all these, and under his leadership, it had expanded all over the United mainland. Even Freya might not be able to do it in such a short amount of time.

Furthermore, Aliya also received an extremely powerful cultivation technique from him. Because of it, she managed to cover the barrier of the Qi soul manifestation realm and stepped into the law awareness realm.

Her previous indignation and hostility towards Ace have completely gone, and she is as respectful to him as Freya. But she never showed it, yet didn't try to go against him or make him angry either.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Moreover, he had also successfully managed to infiltrate the Thieving World Society by using Thomas and even made him one of the organization's vice leaders.

Even though she can't get any dirt on the Thieving World Society or their whereabouts, yet, Ace has done it. Although he never told her his purpose for doing this, she didn't ask since everything was under his control.

But right now, that voice made her extremely uneasy, and now that she saw the spreading darkness, she felt chills in her spine as if death was coming, and she couldn't escape from it.

He soon discovered that it was the famous thief of the human region, Nightmarish Thief, who gathered together the remnants of the Sky Stealer Society and formed the Thieving World Society.

Although he wasn't on his level, Damien was not any weaker than the house members, which made him quite interested in him. But he didn't approach them despite their willingness to made him their leader, he simply didn't need them and still didn't know if they were completely clean.

So, he lets Thomas climb the ranks and find their secrets. But Damien was far more careful, and no one knew his true identity or his real face except for a woman who belonged to the vice leaders' group. According to Thomas, she was Damien's lover or at least quite close to him, and he trusted her unconditionally.

Yet now, he heard a mysterious expert, probably his master, take Damien away before he could even put up any resistance, and he also left those grim words behind.

Now, the Thieving World Society was in a mess because of the sudden departure of their leader, and the other vice leaders were trying to calm the situation. However, the spreading darkness can't be hidden, and with the Qi begging to thin out, anyone would panic and take that voice seriously.

"What should I do?" Thomas asked gravely as he would follow Ace's command without hesitation.

Ace thought for a moment before looking at the sky as it was now completely dark, and any sign of light was engulfed in darkness.

"Come back. There's no need to stay there anymore. This Nightmarish Thief is very strange, and this master you describe is even stranger. From his words, he knew what was going to happen, yet he took him away without his consent or caring about others.

"If anything, try bringing these vice leaders, especially this lover. They might have some use. Tell them about me, but if they want to bring more people, abandon them." Ace coldly commanded as he thought about something.

"Alright, I'll report to you as soon as I leave," Thomas replied.

"Hurry over, I don't think we had much time!" Ace commanded before he cut the call.

Ace's expression went cold, 'Nightmarish Thief and this beggar-like expert... could it be him?'
