Eternal Thief

“Now, let’s hear what you have to say, you cunning old bastard!”

Azure Patriarch Shane frowned darkly at Nightmare Wrath’s churlish words. If they didn’t need every expert on their side to work together, then the first one to be eliminated should be none other than Nightmare Wrath!

But right now, the humans need someone with Nightmare Wrath’s skills even more than the Azure Patriarch, and that’s why Nightmare Wrath’s transgression will be forgiven whether any more likes it or not. .𝗰𝗼𝗺

Azure Patriarch decided to get straight to the point, or he might lose control and do something he will regret, and that lunatic wants.

“I call for this meeting to discuss three things, and I want your full cooperation because it will decide the fate of our entire race.

“First, I’m regretful to inform you all that the fugitive Demon Princess and Devil Duke are still on the run, and they both plundered another one of our warehouses in western Azure Wind Mountain Sect.

“Furthermore, I have a strong reason to believe that all those rumors are being spread by those two, and they are also feeding information to their sides.” His expression went gloomy as he looked at Beast Tamer Lord, “That’s why I need Beast Tamer Lord’s help to track them down as quickly as possible, or we can’t operate with peace of mind.”

“Heh, did I just hear wrong? The might Azure Patriarch asked another’s help?” Nightmare Wrath couldn’t help but take a wing at Shane with a voice filled with disdain.

“At least Azure Patriarch knows when to seek help instead of just killing innocent people when you find yourself frustrated like a mad dog.” Beast Tamer Lord scoffed in mockery.

He probably had the biggest grudge against Nightmare Wrath because many of his elders and disciples had fallen at the hands of the Dark Nightmare Sect. Rumor has it that Nightmare Wrath had once assassinated Beast Tamer Lord’s woman!

Soul Flame Venerable chimed in with an amiable smile, “Alright, gentlemen, we are not here to sow discord among ourselves.”

They were not on the best terms with each other, but now they had to work together to fight this deadly war.

However, it was far easier said than done because Nightmare Wrath was not done with his provocation, especially when he was called a ‘mad dog.’ If he didn’t prove Beast Tamer Lord right, then wouldn’t he be called a mad dog for nothing?

But his target was still Shane, who had a thick vein budging on his temple.

“Since you’re seeking help, why don’t you be completely honest about it? I’m pretty sure this dog’s nose can find the Elven Queen and the Hunter Princess as well.”

Nightmare Wrath’s jeering words cause massive changes in Shane’s face as well as the other sect leaders’ attention has also drawn by those words. They weren’t fools, and they instantly noticed the changes in Shane’s expression, and they knew Nightmare Wrath’s words just hit the bullseye!

Shane knew he just made a massive mistake, and an even bigger mistake was to get on Nightmare Wrath’s bad side. But there was no point in regretting spilled milk because the way the other sect leaders were looking at him right now, he knew they wouldn’t be swayed by simple excuses anymore.

Mistress Yin Flower squinted her pearl-like eyes and questioned in a mellow tone that contained a strange charm, “There is no need to hide it from us, Azure Patriarch. The trust comes both ways.”

Shane sneered coldly at this moment, “There is no need to use your charm arts on me; I’m not that weak-minded.” He then looked at Nightmare Wrath with a hint of killing intent and questioned, “How did you know, and for how long? Do you have something to do with the Hunter Princess escape?”

Nowadays, this mystery was the biggest scorn in Shane’s heart, the disappearance of the Hunter Princess and her attendants, the 7th Azure Elder’s strange involvement, and lastly, the 3rd Azure Elder’s inanity!

These facts were something that kept Shane and many other elders waking up many nights in succession, yet they couldn’t even begin to imagine just what in the world had transpired that unfortunate day.

But they all naturally had one common suspect who could’ve pulled something like this off, the elusive thief, Sky Stealer!

However, this incident was deeply hidden by them, yet Nightmare Wrath somehow got wind of it, and Shane couldn’t help but suspect him now and wondered if this guy had kidnapped the hunter princess so he could exploit the hunters alone!

Yet, Azure Patriarch refused to believe that this guy could sway or control the 7th Azure Elder to the extent she even through her chastity away just to let those hunters escape and couldn’t even remember a single thing!

Nightmare Wrath, coolly yet jeeringly, replied, “If I tell you this, don’t I’ll be revealing all of my secrets? But don’t worry; I can vow to death that I have no part in it. Just in case your shrewd mind is running in the wrong direction.”

“Then it’s true? The Hunter Princess is no longer in your custody, and how in the world does Elven Queen appear here? Why are we hearing about it only now?” Soul Flame Venerable expression was stern as he demanded.

They were clearly not informed about how the Elven Queen was a hired gun to protect Alina while the Ancestors were away, and these guys were not qualified to learn such a secret.

Yet because of their own stupidity, they try to contain her instead of forming an alliance with her, and because of this exact reason, whoever came to rescue Alina got the chance to do so smoothly.

“Come on guys, do you think an incompetent person would admit their own incompetence?” Nightmare Wrath coldly scoffed at Shane’s pale and dark expression; he knew he had cornered him by using his second plan.

So now it was time to get what he wanted, “How about this? I will track down those escapees for you if you let me have a chat with my daughter, and I can assure you that I’m fully capable of it!”
