Eternal Thief

Ace's question was plain and simple. This was the question he wanted the answer to more than anything at this moment. He was closely paying attention to Winter's progress in the Azure Wind Continent, but it has been stagnated after she infiltrated the Azure Wind Mountain Sect.

Ace had no doubt about the cunning fox's capabilities, but he was quite sure that she was in some sort of bind, and this would be a massive problem if she weren't able to locate Alina's whereabouts by the time he reached the Azure Wind Continent.

Right now, they are in the middle of nowhere, and from this place, it will take them around 34 months to go back to the Azure Wind Continent or a minimum of 30 months if they give it their all.

So, Ace won't have time left to locate her, and snatching her in the middle of her public execution was Ace's last resort which was simply too dangerous. That's why he wanted Winter to at least locate her whereabouts and scout the area so he could directly rescue her from there.

Now the Fire Azure Elder of the Azure Wind Mountain Sect and Dream Shatter's direct disciple was under his control. He was not going to hold back. There were simply too many things he wanted to know, but this was the most important one.

Noa's ears also perked as she narrowed her eyes. She knew this Alina was the one Ace wanted to rescue. As for why, she knew she had to ask Ace, or she'll find out soon enough.

Glen didn't reply to Ace and coldly looked at him before he glanced at Freya.

"Just answer his questions without hiding anything," Freya smirked as she was quite pleased being in charge.

After getting his master's approval, Glen didn't hesitate and answered, "The Silver Ice Hunter Clan Princess is kept under the most secure location of the Azure Wind Mountain Sect, where even Law Awareness Realm will meet their doom if they dare to step into it. It is located in the depth of Prime Azure Mountain, where the Prime One resides!"

Ace narrowed his eyes grimly as this was quite an unfamiliar name, "What, Prime One? Is he stronger than Dream Shatter?"

"Of course, Prime One is stronger than my master. He is, after all, the sacred protector of our human race, and even my master deeply respects him!" Glen stated with clear pride in his voice.

Ace's expression turned ugly and heavy because this was not what he wanted to hear. An existence even stronger than Dream Shatter was just too much for him.

"It appears your human race is also hiding quite a lot of secrets. So, this Prime One character is guarding the Hunter Princess, personally?" Freya questioned at this moment. She also wasn't expecting that everyone was putting so much importance on this matter despite it only being a chance that Ace would come.

But as someone whose life was directly connected to Ace, she won't be going to sit idle and let him commit suicide on this foolish venture.

Glen then shook his head, "How can Prime One waste his precious time by guarding a little girl? We are still not sure if the elusive thief will come. Furthermore, Prime One seemed to be not present in the sect at this moment and had gone somewhere prior to the devil and demon forces' arrival. Master only told us that he'd be back before the execution. No one truly knows what Prime One does except for Master since he only speaks with either him or my Eldest Senior Brother."

Ace's mood instantly lifted when he heard this absolutely delightful news. If that guy was not present at the Azure Wind Continent, then he might be able to do this!

"So, all left is Dream Shatter, right? Who else is there guarding her?" Freya was also secretly relieved hearing this, or she didn't know how to stop Ace except for awakening Eva from her cultivation. She was ready to incur his sort term wrath and then let him attempt this suicidal act.

However, what came out of Glen's mouth next was something not thought, and those words were going to change everything!

He shook his head and replied, "Master is also not present at the moment in the Azure Wind Continent. He, the Beast Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Blood Arch Devil, and over half of their and our forces have gone to another endeavor. Which will increase our chances of capturing the elusive thief even more."

Ace was startled, and so did the two women. He felt quite strange all of a sudden since he had no idea how in the world this endeavor was connected to him. For all he knew, only Alina could make him come there, and there wasn't anyone else who he cared enough about to put his own life at risk.

Nevertheless, if this was the case and almost all the big wigs as gone on this fool's errand, then didn't this mean Alina was his to grab as long as he could reach there? Or even Winter might be able to do it since it would take Ace too much, and those guys might be back by the time he reached that place.

But Ace wasn't foolish enough to believe that Dream Shatter would leave her without any protection or countermeasures, so he wanted more information about this location now.

Furthermore, this piece of information might be only known to the likes of Glen, so nothing out of the blue happened. Yet, they were still able to get their hands on this information, and this wasn't even their intention!

But first, he needed to know just what sort of thing they had gotten their hands on that they even took these large forces with them. He was intrigued as well as quite eager to know this. He even thinks that someone is helping him by making them go in the wrong direction.

"Pray to tell us why are they so confident?" He asked with a clear hint of gloating at their foolishness.

But Ace's exulted demeanor shattered like glass after what Glen revealed!
