Eternal Thief-Novel

Chapter 960 Miserable Humans

Over the years, there have been many changes in human territory. Despite not being targeted by anyone, they seemed to have incurred terrible misfortune. It all started with the venture of the Ancient Allied Gathering when they ended up 'winning' an entire secret realm and were even willing to offend everyone for it. But in the end, they found that there was nothing like that, and their experts had gone missing. No one was there to give them any explanation, but on the contrary, they had to appease everyone while secretly fuming and investigating that terrible liar who tricked them all. In the end, the continents were just too far from each other, and since Humans didn't get that secret realm, they were able to dodge that bullet. To make matters absolutely worse, that made even Dream Shatter furious. They let Alina escape right under their nose, which made many heads roll! The higher-ups decided to remain low-key for some time being. However, this time, another vicious blow was dealt to them right on their home territory. An unknown thief uprooted the entire inheritance and treasury of the Dark Nightmare Sect, almost crippling them. But what no one knows was it only happened because the lunatic sect leader of the Dark Nightmare Sect went berserk when he found his precious daughter had gone missing on the venture of Ancient Allied Gathering, and to make it worse, the other sects tried to hide it. This incurred the sect master's wrath, and a huge battle occurred. He wounded three of them and killed the sect master of the Yin Flower Sect. But his ending was not pretty either, as he died after using a secret skill that burned his life. The Yin Flower Sect was naturally furious when their sect master died, and the other three sects were not different, as they wanted to collect some interest as well as secretly take part in the plundering. However, before they could, someone else beat them to it, and this once again pulled a damper on their profits. But spring came soon when they found that their prime one was the Union Lord and the world was now united under his banner, and their grand elder, Dream Shatter, was his right-hand man.

This brought massive honor to the humans and their status among the other races. Dream Shatter also didn't let them down, and he delivered huge benefits to the humans. The five ancient sects even announced that they would be merging into one sect, and it was supposed to happen but was delayed by Dream Shatter for some reason.

These things were moving peacefully, but then the great margining began to occur, and things became hectic. To make matters worse, the human continent was the first one among the ten continents to merge with another continent. Furthermore, a portion of their lands was sealed for a long time now and no one knows who put that seal, but everyone was helpless against it. No one can break it, and they had no idea how their fellow humans were doing there. But this was just a front put by the ancient sects, as they all knew exactly who put that seal and then ordered them to suppress this matter and never look into it if they wanted to live longer. However, when the merging began, their numbers were greatly lacking, facing both beasts and hunters from each side. The most hateful part was they were right between the two continents, and the hunters' strength was not something they could scoff at. Both sides were invading them and almost driving them mad until their grand elder returned hastily and heroically to drive away the invaders and even killed their powerful members. This made humans very excited, and they became bold and greedy. This time, they were the invaders, and they plundered till their eyes became green. In the end, more and more continents began to merge, and the Union finally acted. With Dream Shatter's support, a treaty was signed to stop the mindless wars and slaughter. While only those who were involved in this war know just how much humans had plundered before Dream Shatter stopped them. But against the Law Comprehension Realm Dream Shatter, in the hunter's race, powerful experts were like rocks trying to break a mountain, and they all died in his hand, leaving the hunters completely at humans' mercy. The magic beasts were the same. This also quickly alarms the other races, and they quickly cozy up to humans or completely avoid them. Humans were again on the rise, but this again didn't last long because a new power emerged out of nowhere, the Thieving World Society and they targeted none other than the greedy sects' cities. They strike too quickly and leave before anyone can react. The sects were completely infuriated, but no matter what they did or how much they searched, the members of the Thieving World Society were simply too evasive, turning the humans into a laughingstock among the other races. Demons even gloat at their misery since they can relate with humans because they had suffered the same misery at the hands of the Sky Stealer. But this didn't last long, as the Thieving World Society finally extended their thievish hands to the other territories. Now that the ten continents have become one, no one knows where this organization was hiding. But within a year after its emergence, its fame was almost on the same level as the Sky Stealer, and some even think they were more terrifying since Sky Stealer was a signal person. Some even believe the Thieving World Society was related to Sky Stealer, and he was their secret boss. Nonetheless, the Sky Stealer hadn't made a move for over nine years now, so no one knew where the elusive thief was and when he'd emerge again and shock the world. As if this mess wasn't enough, a few days ago, a piece of terrifying news began to circulate in the mainland: The most powerful expert of the mainland and also appointed supreme commander of the sea extermination army, as well as the Union Lord's right-hand man, Dream Shatter, has been captured by the Thieving World Society and the Azure Wind Mountain Sect's entire treasury has been stolen!

Whoever did this was also a professional as they even spread Photographic Cubes, a special runic treasure they can record anything. It was extremely expensive, and few powers knew how to make it. But to give a vicious blow to humans and make sure they won't be able to deny that, they used this precious treasure, which records Dream Shatter pinned on a wall with ghastly crimson keels stabbed on his limbs, and he looked extremely miserable. Moreover, it also showed a scene where a hooded person was walking in front of the massive treasury of the Azure Wind Mountain Sect. Although there wasn't complete footage, it was enough to tell the people that this news was absolutely accurate. Now, humans were in a complete mess, especially the Azure Wind Mountain Sect, which was on cloud nine, but now they were falling into the abyss! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Amid this chaos, a person snuck into the Soul Flame Sect and directly headed towards an isolated mountain of a high elder!
