Chapter 411 - 408: The Thief God Hall Is Here

Chapter 411: Chapter 408: The Thief God Hall Is Here

At this moment, Feng Hao couldn’t help but marvel at Mei Meimei’s driving skills and modification abilities.

Logically, the War and Magic Alliance should have arrived first, since they were closest to Wolf Country. But Mei Meimei’s modified flying car was so incredibly fast that it had arrived before them.

"Everyone, don’t panic! Reinforcements from the Thief God Hall are here!" Feng Hao didn’t waste any time and directly shared the good news with everyone.

Upon hearing this news, hope was rekindled in everyone’s hearts. But there are always those who love to worry and doubt, like the old hall master of the Iron Hand Martial Arts Hall. When he learned the reinforcements were from the Thief God Hall, he wore a disdainful expression. "What’s the use of just the Thief God Hall showing up? The enemy has over a dozen Hundred-level Experts. Besides, that’s just one flying car. At most, it’s carrying six or seven people."

"I’m telling you, old man, will it kill you to keep your damn mouth shut?!" Feng Hao said, looking annoyed.

Zhang Meng, who was beside him, chimed in, "Exactly. Our Thief God Hall reinforcements came all this way to save people. It’s one thing not to be grateful, but to be so damn cynical about it..."

"Hall Master Wen, now is really not the time for such words," Zhong Yuntao said with a frown.

Seeing the City Lord had spoken, Elder Wen naturally had nothing more to say. He grunted softly, nodded, and turned his head away.

Meanwhile, the streak of light in the sky arrived at the academy in the blink of an eye. The experts from the Root Cutting Sect reacted instantly, drawing their weapons and surrounding the dark red flying car.

"Who goes there? How dare you interfere with the Root Cutting Sect’s business!" the middle-aged leader of the Celestial Eagle Team roared coldly.

The words had barely left his mouth when an old man in disheveled clothes rushed out of the red flying car, followed closely by four youths—three men and a woman.

The disheveled old man hovered arrogantly in mid-air, his cold gaze sweeping over the members of the Celestial Eagle Team. He snorted, and his voice instantly echoed throughout all of Five States City: "The Thief God Hall is here! Who dares make a move—!"

Indeed, this was the Thief Master, who had arrived ahead of everyone else in Mei Meimei’s modified flying car.

As the Thief Master’s deep grunt resounded, the expressions of the Root Cutting Sect members changed drastically. As fellow Hundred-level Mages, they could naturally sense how terrifying the Thief Master was.

"This is bad, he’s an Enlightenment Master! Everyone, work together to hold him back!" the middle-aged leader of the Celestial Eagle Team said, his face grim. "Saint Envoy Tian, hurry up and break the array over there! As long as the Saint Master’s true body emerges, it won’t matter how many people the five great sects send—they’ll just be throwing their lives away!"

"Fine. You guys stall for as long as you can. Leave the rest to me," Saint Envoy Tian agreed with a solemn nod, frantically channeling his Magic Power into the [Array-Breaking Spear].

The next moment, more than ten Hundred-level Root-cutting Mages swarmed the Thief Master.

Facing the siege from so many experts, the Thief Master’s eyes were filled with utter disdain. He turned to the four below and said, "Xiaolin, Sanmei, go check on Xiaofeng. I’ll handle things here!"

"Understood." Lin Luo and the other three nodded in unison and quickly charged toward the Elder Hall.

In their eyes, the army of the Root Cutting Sect might as well have been made of paper. They carved a bloody path through the enemy ranks as if it were child’s play.

Inside the array at the Elder Hall, the Hundred-level Elders also sensed the Thief Master’s aura, and looks of joyful surprise appeared on their faces.

"Haha, it’s an Enlightenment Master! An Enlightenment Master! We’re saved!"

"I never thought it would be an Enlightenment Master. We should be safe now."

City Lord Zhong Yuntao stared at the Thief Master’s figure, looking rather astonished. "The Thief God Hall truly lives up to its reputation as the sixth great sect. To think they have an expert of this caliber... By the way, who is this master? Why have I never heard of him?"

"Don’t look at me. I’ve never seen him either," Elder Wen said, shaking his head, though he was just as amazed internally.

Meanwhile, the members of the Thief God Hall were ecstatic upon seeing the Thief Master. "Look, it’s Lord Thief Master!"

"Whoa, Lord Thief Master came in person." Lei Yun looked excited and subconsciously glanced toward Feng Hao. "Xiaofeng, you’ve really got some serious pull. Looks like your status as a [Thief’s Scion] is a sure thing now."

Feng Hao chuckled, at a loss for words. "Now’s not the time to talk about that. We should be thinking about how to fight our way out."

"Don’t worry. The Thief Master and four [Thief’s Scions] are here. What’s there to be afraid of?" Lei Yun’s eyes were filled with blind faith.

Meanwhile, a strange scene was unfolding on the other side.

Elder Yun, who had always been poised and calm, showed an unprecedented glimmer of joy in her eyes upon seeing the Thief Master. A girlish blush appeared on her aged but still graceful face. "Brother Jiu Da, is that you?"

"Master, what’s wrong?" Bai Yin asked in confusion.

"N-nothing’s wrong," Elder Yun denied, shaking her head. Then, to Bai Yin’s astonishment, she began to flusteredly fix her appearance. "Xiaoyin, quick, see if my clothes are messy anywhere. Also, let me borrow your makeup kit."

"Master, you—?" Bai Yin was completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.

In her memory, her master had always been an ascetic and joyless old woman, an ethereal figure who seemed above worldly concerns and rarely paid attention to her appearance.

But everything happening right now completely overturned her impression of her master, Elder Yun.

In a daze, Bai Yin even wondered if she was hallucinating.

"You silly girl, why are you just standing there dazed? Hurry up and help me," Elder Yun said urgently, her eyes glimmering with the longing of a lovesick girl.

Bai Yin snapped out of her stupor, her eyes full of suspicion. "Master, what in the world is wrong with you? Have you been hit by the enemy’s Illusion Techniques?"

"I’m perfectly fine inside the Array. What Illusion Techniques could there be?" Elder Yun said irritably. "Hurry up and help me check, or it’ll be too late."

’What in the world is going on?’ Bai Yin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, completely baffled.

...

Outside the Array, the battle had already begun. The Thief Master stood proudly in mid-air, wielding a dark purple Longsword. Facing the assault of more than ten enemies, he showed not a trace of fear.

"So what if you’re an Enlightenment Master? I refuse to believe you can withstand an attack from all dozen of us!" the middle-aged leader of the Celestial Eagle Team snorted.

With that said, the dozen or so Hundred-level Mages launched the first attack. A kaleidoscope of Secret Techniques, enough to blot out the sky, pressed down on the Thief Master.

The Thief Master just smiled with disdain. With a light wave of his dark purple Longsword, he kicked up a wave of black energy that effortlessly dispelled all the Secret Techniques.

"Just a bunch of cripples who were artificially boosted to level one hundred. Send out your real experts!"

The Thief Master snorted. His aura erupted like a raging tsunami, whistling as it condensed into a terrifying pressure that enveloped all of the dozen or so experts from the Root Cutting Sect.

The sudden pressure left the Root Cutting Sect members shocked and uncertain. "Dammit, that’s the pressure of the Master Dao! Aren’t you from the Thief God Hall?"

"Heh, who made the rule that a Mage from the Thief God Hall can’t follow the [Master Dao]?" the Thief Master sneered. He moved with a swing of his sword, his entire body instantly becoming a blur. His [Rapid Shadow Slash], wrapped in countless streams of black Sword Qi, directly pierced through one of the Root Cutting Sect experts.

The next moment, the pierced Root Cutting Sect expert’s life force was instantly depleted. But what was surprising was that even as his life force was emptied, more than half of his Qi Blood still remained...
