The Life Treasure Pagoda stood tall and majestic in multiple lights, even though it was nighttime.

The Life Treasure Pagoda never closed for business, and there were always customers to entertain.

However, an invisible hooded figure just entered the building without altering anyone, nor did he trigger any array or the formation.

There was a golden formation plate in this hooded person’s hand, which was shimmering with dark runes.

If Gatlin was here, he would instantly recognize this formation plate because it was the Core Formation Control of the entire Life Treasure Pagoda and anyone can control every formation and array with this Core Formation Plate!

That was why the Ghost Monitor Formation and Alarm formation didn’t active just now because Ace was using the core formation plate, and those formations and arrays won’t trigger, as long as he had his core formation plate active.

Now, even those overseers of this life treasure pagoda can’t detect Ace, as long as it was a question of skills and prowess.

Ace was already going toward the Floor Manager’s secret meeting room. He knew where the treasuries were from the treasure blueprint, and he was also using the live fate map to detect enemies.

He was most familiar with the first floor since he had already been there and it was the deceased floor master who wanted to trick him into handing over the Nether Paradise Bird’s egg, which he thought was the Nether Flame Alloy.

Then, Ace had Noa assassinate him and his disciple so they won’t spread this news. This move also created some waves in the association, and they madly searched for the killer, but to no avail.

Anyhow, now there was naturally a new floor master.

He instantly detects two white fate points in the private meeting room while they’re two more hidden rooms, on the west and east, empty. Ace’s target was the hidden room on the east side!

Ace easily opened the lock, but he didn’t enter because those two fate points were close.

‘I have to create a distraction,’ Ace thought before he did something crazy.

He pushed the door using powerful force, and it clashed with the wall, revealing the inside.

There was a young demon with blue skin and a middle-aged demon with yellow skin, discussing something when they were startled by the sudden door opening and yelped in surprise!

“Who dares to barge in?!” The middle-aged demon’s face shone with fury.

However, to their surprise, there was no one standing there, and some of the guests and alchemists were now looking in their direction with confused looks on their faces.

“Master, it seemed the door opened on its own.” The young demon frowned.

“I shouldn’t be possible. Let me see.” The middle-aged demon know it was close to impossible for this door to open on its own.

Although it was just a random lock, it was a nine-star lock, and this was the rank of any random lock in this entire building!

So, the chances of it malfunctioning were once in a million and even if it remained open somehow, it shouldn’t be open like that. There wasn’t any strong wind inside the building.

That was why he didn’t believe it so quickly and stood up from his place to check what happened. The young demon naturally followed behind.

However, they both fail to notice the moment they moved toward the opened door. The east wall suddenly turned into a door, and before anyone could notice, the secret door opened and closed before it turned back to its wall appearance.

If that middle-aged demon saw this scene, he would panic and rush toward the wall right now because it was a secret passage door that led toward the first-floor treasury!

It wasn’t supposed to be opened like this because the lock key on him and only the life grandmaster can unlock any hidden passage or treasury with no floor manager’s key.

Not even the Life Masters have such a privilege. If they want to enter the treasuries, they have to contact the floor manager and seek permission from the Life Grandmaster.

Now, no one knows yet that the storage ring of the life grandmaster has been stolen, and they were still searching the evil blade demon estate for him.

That’s why Ace hit the iron while it was hot because no one know he was there, so it was the perfect opportunity for him to clean this place. By the time anyone noticed, it would be too late!

Ace entered a dimly lit hallway, and when he was at the wall at the end of this hallway, his life curled and moved toward it. He activated the core formation again and opened the first floor’s treasury!

Suddenly, a clicking sound rang in the hallway before a gap appeared between the wall.

‘This might be the most dangerous and the easier thievery that I have done. With this formation, I don’t need to worry about anything and can open anything even if my skill is not high enough.’ Ace grinned as he pushed the wall and entered a 20 X 20 space.

Ace instantly noticed rows of storage rings neatly arranged on shelves.

‘They probably didn’t have large enough space to put their goods in opened, and this is the more convenient way for them and me as well.’

Ace didn’t wait and started to take the storage rings into his own thief’s space. There were names on each shelf, like pills, herbs, Qi stones, and their ranks.

He knew the first five floors only had alchemy treasures and the first floor only had herbs and pills from rank 1-star to 9-star. So, if anything that interests him here was the Qi stones and soul pills from 6-star and 9-star.

Ace clean the entire room in two minutes!

Unexpectedly, the system’s voice sounded at this moment.

<strong>======</strong>

<strong>[First Floor of the Target has been theft successfully!]  </strong>

<strong>[Total Rewards: 500,000 TP]  </strong>

<strong>—</strong>

<strong>[Thief Point(s): 31,842,100]</strong>

<strong>======</strong>

Ace was momentarily startled before he closed the notification panel. He knew these were only low-level goods, so these thief points were expected.

‘Now, how should I leave this place without alerting those two? I can’t do the same with the hidden passage door. That old demon won’t be foolish enough to ignore this,’ Ace mused while. he reached the end of the exit.

He activated the fate mapping and was started when he saw the outside room was empty. There was a soundproof array here, so he couldn’t hear anything.

Elated, he quickly opened the door and exited the passage.

But when he appeared outside, he heard a commotion outside and looked there.

“Life Grandmaster has been robbed by the Sky Stealer! He’s summoning the floor managers and the entire staff to look for him. Only the five protectors are ordered to stay here! Please inform the others and close the business or we all be punished!” A demon in alchemist clothes was clamoring.

The crowds were shocked, and so does the floor manager.

Sky Stealer was like the enigma of thievery in the eight provinces and whenever he was mentioned, no matter if it was poor or rich, they all feared if he would appear and take their wealth.

Now, the same thief appeared again, and this time it appeared in the supposedly most secure place on the entire continent. How could the crowd remain calm?

The first-floor manager’s expression was hideous. “Are you sure?!”

He was completely gobsmacked by this news because the Life Grandmaster wasn’t someone that anyone could steal from. That thief had to infiltrate deep into the life alchemy guild first before reaching where Life Grandmaster lives.

Furthermore, even if they summon them, they would never reveal this to the public since it will defame their reputation!

That was why it was so hard to believe!

The demon’s face was filled with panic as he nodded. “Yes! The Grandmaster’s disciple was kidnapped by the evil blade demon clan, and he went there personally to investigate, and that’s when it all happened.

“The thief is now trapped there, but it’s extremely cunning, and they didn’t have the manpower. That’s why the Grandmaster summons everyone to help and get rid of the wicked thief!”

“What? Something like happened?”

“So, that furtive thief first kidnapped Grandmaster’s disciple to lure him out? How bold of him!”

“We are also ready to help! We can’t let this criminal roam around the continent and destroy peace. Brothers and sisters, let’s find this evildoer and help the Grandmaster!”

The customers here weren’t typical demons, and now that they got the chance to get on the Life Grandmaster’s good side, how could they let it go so easily?

Furthermore, there was a massive bounty on Sky Stealer’s head. Whoever can capture him will be set for life!

The first Floor Manager hesitates to decide since this order should come from the Life Masters, not some random alchemist.

However, an aged voice sounded in the entire treasure pagoda at this moment,

“Bring him to me!”
