Chapter 868 Thieves on Move

“How’s the Province Plundering Plan coming along?” Questioned a masked woman in dark robes sitting on a throne.

Standing in front of this imposing woman, clad in a white dress, an enthralling demoness with an oval face, pale white skin, intelligent violet eyes, and long violet hair.

She respectfully replied, “We are ready to move at your command, my lady!”

Behind that mask, two snake eyes filled with wiliness were shimmering. She nonchalantly stated, “I don’t need your help. I ask you to collect information. I’m going alone.”

The demoness’s expression changed, and her eyes widened with shock, “A-alone? My lady, it is too dangerous!”

The woman on the throne suddenly stood up and started to walk towards the demoness while flaunting her otherworldly figure. She stopped right in front of her, and she placed her slender figure under the blushing demoness’ chin as her breathing quickened.

“Aliya, are you doubting my abilities?” She playfully questioned.

Aliya tried to calm her beating heart, but the reverence in her eyes burned intensely as she shook her head, “N-no, my lady! I’m just worried about your safety. You’ve just returned after all these years. I-I want to share your burden!”

“Hah, my burden?” The woman chuckled amusingly, “My little Aliya, I have no burden anymore. I’m just earning profit while using a borrowed knife.”

Aliya bit her lips as she said, “I… you’ve changed my lady! It’s all because of that thief!”

“Hahaha…” A peal of melodious laughter rang from the masked woman as she replied with, full of relish, “I guess you’re right. It’s quite strange, you know. I thought I would be like a free spirit once I left his shadow. Yet, now I want to prove myself to him. That cunning thief is really hard to get rid of.

“But I won’t let him do this to me. Since that scoundrel likes fame, I’m going to become even more famous than him, and the first step is to create a legend even grander than his, and what better place is to start than the Demon Continent?”

The woman laughed with indignation and killing intent as if she didn’t know what was happening to her and all those strange emotions were towards just one single person…

“I’m finally back!” On the western shore of the royal demon nation, a small ship docked, and a masked demoness in a ragged cloak walked out as she shouted with deep emotions and relief.

“Who are you!? How do you find this place?” A few powerful Royal Navy demons quickly surrounded the masked demoness while releasing their auras.

They were all shocked because this place was known to only a few higher up as it was the closest place to the imperial demon domain. So, an outsider’s appearance was quite an alarming thing.

“You don’t recognize your owner?!” The demoness coldly said as she removed her cloak hood, and a widely known mask in the royal demon nation appeared.

The demons’ expressions turned pale before their eyes shimmered with viciousness as they looked at each other meaningfully, “You dare to impersonate the Imperial Demon Family member!? Surrender peacefully, or we’ll be forced to break your limbs!”

“Hmph, I guess you lot are also loyal to my perfidious brother, huh? I won’t kill you today because you have to rely upon my message to my dearest brother. Tell him his sister has returned, and I’m going to repay him in full for what he has done.

“And also tell him that father and ancestor are alive and they are very ‘happy’ about his rebellious and usurper of the imperial throne. I wonder what all those idiots will do who helped him. I can’t wait to see their heads skewered on spears.” Leona laughed darkly as her voice was filled with bloodlust, which sent chills down those demons’ spins.

Before they could react, dark lighting suddenly appeared before their vision, and the next moment their minds went blank.

Leona watched those unconscious demons falling and sneered, “I have many debuts to collect, and I’m going to start with you, my dearest brother. Since you try to kill your dear sister instead of saving her, I’ll just return the favor!”

In the All-Devil Continent, in the territory of the Ghost Devil Clan, the ranked fourth devil clan among the ten ruling devil clans.

This place was surrounded by thick mist all year long, and it was very hard to navigate in this place without a Ghost Devil’s guidance. Furthermore, this place was extremely deadly as it was filled with vicious demonic beasts and traps. Even the other nine clans’ high-ranking members won’t dare to venture into this place.

In the central region of the Ghost Devil Clan territory was a massive city called the Ghost Devil City. It was the headquarters of the Ghost Devil Clan, where the main bloodline of the Ghost Devil Clan lives.

At this moment, a meeting was going on between the Clan Head and the Clan Elders.

The Ghost Devil Clan has distinguished features from the other devils. It was hard to tell who was who because they all looked the same. They had empty ghost faces, and they all wore dark cloaks. The only difference was the strange patterns on their faces.

They were eccentrics who didn’t bother themselves with other devil clans and liked solitude, and no one provoked them either.

Because these guys were like hornet nests, once provoked, they would use their full force to avenge their grievances, and that’s what made them dangerous.

So, this meeting was very rare, and the only time this sort of meeting was held was when someone had provoked them. .𝘤𝑜𝑚

At this moment, the ghost face devil sitting on the clad head position said in his eerie voice as gloomy air surrounded him, “News has arrived. Someone has been assassinating top-ranking members of the devil clans before robbing their homes. Over 228 high-ranking elders of the Bone, Toxic, Imp, Lightning, Onyx, and Shadow Clans have been killed in these past three years.

“The assassin never stayed in one place as it instantly vanished once it was done assassinating its target. All we know is its name, which it left behind at every successful assassination….”

“Bang!”

The closed-door smacked open at this moment, disrupting the clan head’s speech, and all the elders looked at the intruder murderously.

Another ghost devil was standing there while trembling.

The clad head suddenly stood up and said in surprise, “What the matter, wife?”

A crisp voice rang from the ghost face devil filled with panic and hatred, “O-our firstborn has been assassinated! T-there’s a Qi stone left behind by the assassin, and it’s engraved with a name, the Skyfall Thief Assassin!”
