Dustin finally noticed what has happened behind him when he heard cries of shock and resentment.

“Bastards! What kind of traps did they just use?!” Dustin cursed out loud as he looked toward the Iron Demon Army.

However, he suddenly noticed Elian’s bewildered face at this moment and felt something was amiss.

“Attack them again quickly!” Elian truly didn’t know what has happened, but somehow those Qi river core cultivators turned into twits and didn’t block those cannonballs.

Because of this strange event, more than half of the Qi river core cultivators of Dark Gibbon Tribes were now gravely injured and some of them were dead or on the brink of death.

That’s why Elian decided to take advantage of this mishap and disarray in the Dark Gibbon Demon Army and decrease their numbers as much as possible. He also knew Dustin and Elder Kole can’t block all those cannons, and the remaining river core cultivators of Iron Demon Tribe were going crazing over something.

“Chief, my storage ring is missing, and this strange owl imprint has replaced it!” At this moment, one of the unharmed Qi river core gibbon demons loudly told Dustin about his missing storage ring with a voice full of indignation.

“What?!” Dustin was startled, and before he could say anything, another feminine voice rang.

“My storage ring is also gone, but this strange owl imprint has appeared on the dorsal side of my hand and there is a name engraved in these wings…-sky… Sky Stealer!” She was shocked when she saw the gray fur on her hand was completely replaced with an owl imprint which was spreading its wings, and it looked quite vivid!

“Father! My Storage Ring is also gone missing and the same kind of owl had appeared on the dorsal side of my hand!” Gianni also howl at this moment as he trembled in rage when he saw all his wealth was replaced by a freaking owl imprint!

“Just what the ** is going on? Elian, you despicable bastard, what did you do?!” Dustin felt he was going bonkers at this moment.

He never heard of this kind of trap before, and the situation has suddenly turned grave for his tribe because of this strange ‘trap’ set up by Iron Demon Tribe!

Elian’s heart suddenly trembled when he heard the words, ‘Sky Stealer’, from that female gibbon demon’s mouth.

‘Could it be that same thief? But how is this possible?’ Elian didn’t dare to believe his own speculation.

Nevertheless, he didn’t show it to his face. He knew this was a chance. “Attack you, idiots, don’t listen to them!”

The Iron Demon Tribe naturally know who Sky Stealer was, so those iron demons were also shocked when they heard dark gibbon demons repeating the name of their nemesis.

“You despicable!” Dustin could only curse. He knew Elian had ‘played’ him, and he was going to pay an enormous price for his carelessness.

“Leave this attack to me, chief!” Elder Kole’s bitter voice rang at this moment.

“But, Elder, will exhaust a huge amount of Qi!” Dustin wasn’t willing to use Elder Kole’s entire power on mere cannons. He wanted to kill Elian after teaming up with Elder Kole.

But he also knew if Elder Kole didn’t take charge, then all those hundred thousand demons behind him will die, and this kind of loss wasn’t something he was willing to incur!

“Boom!”

It wasn’t the sound of cannon; it was the sound of sealed Iron Demon Gates blasted open!

However, before anyone could make heads or tails of the situation, an extremely enraged and powerful voice filled with deadly momentum reverberates in the vicinity, making everyone almost deaf.

“Scoundrel thief, hand over my storage ring!”

Everyone could finally see the demon who had just blasted the bronze city gates with a nine-star sealing array protecting it. This demon was none other than the first evaluator of this test, Demon Marquis Henrik Ocean!

Henrik’s eyes were deathly cold as he looked at Iron Demon Tribe as his both hands were clenching tightly into fists, and thick veins were popping out of his hands and forehead as if he was furious.

However, Henrik suddenly felt everyone’s gaze on him suddenly turned very strange the moment their eyes landed on his face.

Henrik didn’t pay much attention to this strangeness. He was completely enraged when he just found out that his storage ring was missing.

After he heard Dark Gibbon Tribe’s commotion, he found it strange and casually looked at his own storage ring and this simple gaze nearly made his soul leave his body because his storage ring was also gone!

Although he didn’t find any owl mark or anything like that, his attention was quickly drawn by that iron demon he found snooping around. He clearly remembered this iron demon was the only demon he had come to contact with within the period of his storage ring going missing.

Furthermore, when that demon suddenly vanished at that time, he thought he was dead, so he thought little about it, but now that the more he thought, the more he found that iron demon strange.

First, he suddenly appeared from the forest right behind him, and then Henrik wasn’t able to detect his cultivation for some reason before he showed himself, and lastly, his sudden disappearance.

Henrik couldn’t help but wonder that the demon was probably there with malicious motives from the beginning, and he was his target!

That’s why Henrik quickly scan through the gibbon army outside and didn’t find that iron demon, so he blasted open the gates since the other opening was packed with gibbon demons.

Now, Henrik was looking toward Iron Demon Tribe while releasing his martial sense to the fullest. He won’t let that thief escape, no matter what!

“Marquis Henrik, what happened?” New Moon’s calm voice entered everyone’s ears at this moment, but there was a hint of excitement in his gentle voice!

Henrik turned back and saw New Moon on his wolf mount, but the moment New Moon’s eyes fell on him, he felt a New Moon’s gentle smile suddenly vanish.

New Moon spoke with a little hoarse voice, “Marquis Henrik, I think you should wash your face before we find the thief who stole your storage ring.” His face become stoic as if he was controlling it deliberately.

“Why?” Henrik finally sense something was amiss as he touched his face and didn’t find any dust or anything.

“Take a look.” New Moon conjured a mirror and throws it toward Henrik and remain stoic.

Henrik quickly catch the round mirror and looked at it and his heart turn cold when he saw a black owl imprint covering his entire ocean blue face.

This wasn’t all. Inside the left open wing of this owl imprint, which was expanded until his left ear, there were written two imposing words in demon language, ‘Sky Stealer. While on the right open wing were lines of words that were easily readable despite their small size.

It read,

“I, Sky Stealer, stole this idiot’s ring right under his nose. I wonder if he’s really worthy of a Demon Marquis Title, or if Ocean Demon Tribe is blind?

“Nonetheless, I would still like to thank you for all the treasures you collected for me in all these years. You were a tremendous help, and that’s why I reward you with my glorious thief symbol right on your ugly face.

“Not only it’ll hide your hideous clown face, but it will also make everyone pay more attention to you, heh. Don’t need to thank me. This is my duty as an honorable thief!”

Henrik’s eye almost spitfire at first as he started reading, but, in the end, one could see thick veins on Henrik’s forehead, and he was on the verge of bursting them.

The mirror in his hand also shattered into dust just by his sheer deadly pressure.

“Bas…awwkkk…”

Henrik just opened his mount to roar, but he puked blood in the end. His anger and hatred have reached new heights after he read that despicable message, which was a dirty slap on the entire ocean demon tribe’s face.

Furthermore, almost thousands of demons read it because of his cluelessness before, and he finally understood why they were all giving him strange glances. It was as if he had lost his entire face and his tribe.

However, he was still a soul realm expert, and he knew showing this kind of sight will only make things worse. The only way to gain back the face he lost was to capture that despicable thief and execute him publicly by skinning him alive!

Henrik suppressed the feeling of committing genocide and forming a water glob and throwing it at his face. He wanted to wash these words of disgrace from his face before hunting that thief down!

“It’s still there.” New Moon remained stoic as he said. He didn’t mind the broken mirror.

He was feeling quite sorry for Henrik and the ocean demon tribe. If this news was released to the public, it would be a great blow to their prestige and then a disaster might come for Ocean Demon Tribe!
