chapter 1256: the thief among us! (1)



the news of the northern sect guardian city's prime heavenly bank branch being successfully robbed by an unknown thief took the entire spirit inferno domain by storm.nôv(el)b\\jnn

within a few hours, almost every influential person within the spirit inferno domain got this information. furthermore, it wasn't the bank that made this news public; in fact, they seemed to be suppressing it.

but how could a paper hold flame? the prime heavenly bank was a colossal titan of the mortal ascension heaven, and even though only their measly branch in a second-grade sect's region was robbed, this was still a huge matter.

however, the information seemed to have been spread by none other than the thief himself! someone got their hands on a recorder bead, which was commonly used to record any kind of scene in the mortal ascension heaven.

this recorder bead was actually the scene of the prime heavenly bank's empty treasury. on the massive wall of the empty vault was a massive inky owl mural, and within the wings of the owl were words written.

in one wing was the name 'sky stealer,' while in the other wing was written a peculiar message: 'your treasures were collecting dust here, and i can't stand this blasphemy! so, i'm taking them, and i promise to wash them daily. no need to worry; they are in good hands... your honorable thief: sky stealer!'

once this recorder bead appeared, it instantly became popular. people started copying it into new recorder beads and selling them all over the spirit inferno domain for spirit coins, and people were even buying them!

at the end of this video, the thief, sky stealer, appears right in the center of the owl mural. his appearance is mysterious, as he is clad in dark robes, and his head is covered in a long hood. no one can see his face, and he says just a single sentence in an overlapping metallic voice. no one can tell if it is a man or a woman, which shocks people's hearts.

"this is just the start; i'm coming for your next!"

his words were extremely arrogant and provocative. although no one knows who he was coming for or who this message was for, probably for the prime heavenly bank or no one in particular, those people in power were furious.

another piece of news related to the sky stealer surfaced soon after. before robbing the bank, he had also robbed many top-grade shops not far away from the bank branch because they had the same kind of owl murals in their treasuries.

but he didn't say anything and instead waved his sleeve. two more chairs appeared beside his, but slightly lower than his. the next moment, even more powerful qi ripples appeared, and two more figures surfaced sitting on those chairs.

everyone's expression changed as they instantly guessed the identities of those two people. they were the grand elders of the aig sect!

at this moment, bert, the head of the norberg clan, suddenly stood up and cupped his fists towards vincent and the two grand elders, edwin and inez, and spoke coldly, "greetings, sect master and grand elders! before we begin, i want to confirm something, and it is of the utmost importance to the survival of our sect!"

vincent's eyes flashed coldly. he didn't know what bert was trying to do, but his hands were bound at this moment. even he was shocked when he received this news, and he didn't have the chance to thoroughly investigate it.

however, from what he heard about the thief sky stealer and that symbol of that thief, he almost couldn't believe it.

but he didn't have a chance to confirm it before those two grand elders appeared, and he had no choice but to suppress his doubts. but now it seemed he wasn't the only one who had

thought about 'it'!

furthermore, this matter was really about the survival of their sect, and it had nothing to do with his own schemes against the four clans, so he couldn't sabotage anyone.

"speak your mind, child." grand elder edwin gave his permission with a solemn expression.

bert's eyes flashed viciously as he instantly took out a recorder cube and activated it without hesitation. a large projection appeared under everyone's eyes.

everyone was confused until they saw the owl symbol, and vincent was even more alarmed before his heart sank!

'was it really him!? but how?!' vincent thought with disbelief and bitterness!
