Eternal Thief-Novel

Carefully, Ace raised his hands in front of the door, but he didn't touch it, afraid some kind of alarm would go off or something even more troublesome.

The Dismantle Qi gushed out of his gloves and quickly covered the huge door, dyeing it pitch black. At this moment, if anyone saw this place, they would instantly notice him.The source of this content ɪs novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Furthermore, as Ace tried to dismantle the runes, he found that the process was extremely slow. One had to know that even grade-8 runes were no match for his dismantler principles anymore, so this also meant that this door was made with grade-9 runes!

Moreover, the materials he would get from it would also be grade 9, so he didn't want to mess it up. He could tell this door was made with some extraordinary metal.

While Ace was quickly dismantling the formation and the door, an ancient formation within the inner-city walls flashed, and a giant handsome figure wearing imperial robes appeared.

He has a slim build and sharp eyes, but at this moment, a hint of panic was present in them; this person was none other than the second imperial prince, Darren!

At this moment, another giant old man appeared in front of Darren and bowed while greeting, "Your Highness, are you planning on going in seclusion?"

This old giant was exactly an expert who was watching the inner region of this ancient city, and he was also part of the Imperial family's older generation. Old monsters like him have vanished from the eyes of the masses thousands of years ago, and people considered them dead.

But no one knows that the imperial family was hiding their true forces in this place. Upon reaching a certain point of age when there was no longer any chance of breakthrough into the next stage, these people would come here and enter a hibernation cultivation state to prolong their life and protect the imperial family till their death.

"Sixth Elder, please, you don't need to bow to me. I'm here because I heard the news that someone is trying to sneak into the golden lands." Darren stoically stated.

But the truth was, when he found that his fourth brother had been robbed in the golden lion kingdom, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and he tried to contact Abner. However, he didn't respond, no matter how much he tried. He sensed something amiss and quickly sent his men to investigate, and they soon found that Abner had vanished into thin air.

Not only that, he quickly commands them to search for Princess Riana's whereabouts and soon discovers that she has just arrived in the capital when she hears the news of the thievery and is visiting the fourth prince now.

Almost instantly, he sensed a huge scheme to harm him and quickly came here to alert this sixth elder before it was too late. He naturally didn't want any blame for this once Abner was caught, so he quickly thought of a plan.

As for Abner succeeding in infiltrating this place, he didn't even consider it since it was nigh impossible with the Imperial Family being in possession of the master formation plate of this city. Except for two ancient doors in the two mountains, that formation plate could control all the formation intact in the inner city.

That's how they managed to control this place for thousands of years, and no one has ever been able to enter the formation without their permission.

When the sixth elder heard Darren's words, he was astounded, "Who is so bold to enter the mystery plains? Furthermore, how did they know about this place? Who gave you this information?" His eyes were filled with doubt and suspicion as this was very hard to believe.

"Sixth Elder, you might not know about this, but just a day ago, Fourth Prince was robbed by a mystery fellow calling himself Sky Bandit. The Fourth Prince happened to carry two Golden Transportation Talismans.

"Although he didn't tell anyone, I was worried about it, so I investigated. Please don't get angry with Fourth Brother. He is a victim, and that vile villain is trying to harm our clan. So, I quickly came here to report this matter to you just in case that bandit came here. Please kill him the moment you see him. He's very crafty." Darren gravely stated.

He didn't even blink when he put all the blame on Sky Bandit and his fourth brother. If he didn't have any choice, he would've blamed the Crown Prince, but it wouldn't make any sense at that time.

Now, even if an investigation happened, all the blame would fall on Zion no matter how he denies it since he didn't have any proof, and once Abner was killed, it would be even more impossible to connect him to him.

If anything, if someone identified Abner, they would look for the Crown Prince, and Darren would walk away scot-free while also damaging the Crown Prince's reputation.

Even if Abner got captured and spilled the beans, Darren could always say it was the Crown Prince's scheme to harm him since there was no evidence of Abner's association with him. All in all, he won't be in any trouble.

Sixth Elder's eyes widened when he heard this news in disbelief, "Someone dares to move against our clan? It seemed we are being too amiable in these past thousand of years that others started to think we are pushovers." He was furious just thinking about the humiliation it would bring to Skylar name.

While Darren was busy washing his hands from Abner's matter, Ace lowered his hands as a huge pile of grade-9 materials and a massive bronze door were lying beside him, and in front of him was an open entrance leading to the inside of the mountain.

The moment he dismantled the door and opened the passage, an extremely ancient air filled with powerful, dense martial Qi enveloped him. No one knows just how long this place has been sealed.

Furthermore, Ace used 10% of soul Qi just to dismantle this door, which was actually quite huge considering his new Qi reserves. Without hesitation, he stowed away those materials and entered the open passage with glittering eyes. He wanted to see just what kind of mystery is hidden in this ancient city!
