615: You’re the Devil, Right?

You’re the Devil, Right?

Nangong Jing and the others were confused. 

What did this Tiger Tail Thief have to do with the blade demons?

Subsequently, Lu Ze told them about the blade demons hunting the thief. Hearing this, the three were surprised.

They thought it would be very difficult to find the base of the Blade Demon Race after those blade demons died. However, there was someone else who also knew about it.

Qiuyue Hesha looked at the thief. "Where is the blade demon base?"

The thief answered without hesitation, "It's on an asteroid outside the solar system. It's not too far from here."

Lu Ze and the girls were surprised. They thought the blade demon base would be inside the Zhihuo System.

Qiuyue Hesha continued, "What are their powers there?"

"There are 2 level-four planetary states, more than 10 level-three planetary states, and more than 10 level-two planetary states. I don't know what I stole but 2 level-four planetary states and 6 level-three planetary states chased me. The powers of those left to guard the base are very weak."

Lu Ze and the others: "…"

They really couldn't tell that this guy just stole from the blade demon's secret base. However, what did he steal that made the blade demons go this crazy and hunt him?

They were very curious, but now, wasn't the time to talk about this. Since they knew the base and there was no one strong there, they needed to head over first.

Then, Lu Ze let this thief point out the base on the star map. The New Dawn headed off towards it.

During the flight, the group had the time to ponder what this thief stole.

Qiuyue Hesha looked at the thief. "Where is the stolen item?"

The thief took down the storage ring in his hand and a pendant on his neck without hesitation. "It's all inside."

If he was awake, he would never give his hard-earned treasure away. But now that he was controlled, he would commit suicide without hesitation if Qiuyue Hesha told him to.

Nangong Jing took the two items and smiled. "Let's see just how much this thief stole."

Lin Ling was rather curious too. "Our race had several things stolen too."

Thereafter, they looked inside the storage ring with their mental force. When they saw the stacks of materials, metals, spirit fruits, and even pieces of equipment, their eyes bulged.

"There's so much." Nangong Jing gasped.

The four looked strangely at the thief. This was so much more than they had expected.

This guy was quite amazing.

Although it was just planetary state and mortal evolution state things, the quantity was large.

If he really got away with it, it would be a substantial loss.

Following such, they looked at the pendant's storage. There were also quite a lot of treasures piled inside but not as much as the storage ring.

When they saw this many materials, the group was shocked.

It was a good thing they caught this guy.

Qiuyue Hesha continued to ask, "Where is the thing you stole from the blade demons?"

The thief replied, "Inside the storage pendant."

Qiuyue Hesha threw it to the thief. "Take it out."

The thief immediately started taking out the things he stole from the blade demons. There were some precious spirit fruits and metals, as well as a few Zhihuo Lotus.

Lu Ze and the others were speechless. 

The blade demons could get Zhihuo Lotus?

How did they do it?

Eventually, a black metal box caught their attention.

Lu Ze asked, "What is this?"

The thief shook his head. "I don't know, but it's quite advanced. It's not made by blade demons. This seems to be a creation of the Advanced Demon Race."

Lu Ze and the rest were dumbfounded. 

Advanced Demon Race?

Lin Ling frowned looking at the box. She was uncertain.

"Ze… does the material of the box similar to the box holding the order-weakening space bomb at Gracious System?"

Lu Ze raised a brow. He looked carefully at the box and found that they really did appear similar. However, he was looking at the box through the surveillance at the Eternal Life Palace's base back then. 

He nodded. "It does seem similar."

Qiuyue Hesha and Nangong Jing hadn't seen it before, but they knew about it too.

They looked among each other.

"If this is a creation of the Advanced Demon Race, then that order-weakening space bomb is from them too? Why would that appear here?"

If something from the Elf Race appeared in the possession of the Human Race, that would be strange too.

The four were shocked.

"But… this box can be opened." Lin Ling frowned.

"Let's open it and see?" Lu Ze was curious.

Lin Ling rolled her eyes. "My spirit eye god art can't see through this box. What if there's some danger inside?"

The thief interjected, "I've opened it before."

Everyone stared right at him.

Qiuyue Hesha asked, "Is it dangerous? What's inside?"

The thief shook his head. "There are no dangers. There's a black metal ball inside with a diameter of 5 centimeters. I don't know its specific use."

Lu Ze and the girls glanced among each other and opened the box. The box was filled with rows of semi-circle concaves. There were five rows and four columns.

The concaves held black metal balls, but at the last and second last row, the two concaves were empty.

Lu Ze said, "Six balls are missing."

Qiuyue Hesha nodded. "Was it used? What is this?"

Lu Ze closed the box after a while. "Take it back first, perhaps the Shenwu Army would know."1

"Mhm."

The three nodded.

It was best not to mess with things you didn't understand. 

What if it really was a bomb?

Qiuyue Hesha glanced at the thief. "Knock yourself out."

Without hesitation, the thief punched his head.

Thud!!

The thief fell heavily to the ground.

The atmosphere was silent. 

Lu Ze looked at the smiling Qiuyue Hesha and suddenly felt cold.

Lin Ling didn't know what to say.

Qiuyue Hesha smiled. "He's going to get knocked out anyway. What's the difference between us doing it and him?"

…

In the depth of the void space, there was an extremely large dark gray planet.

There were all sorts of strange-looking but ferocious beasts present.

They all had sleek scales, sharp teeth and claws, and even blade-like tails or whiskers.

In the vacuum space extremely far from this planet, there was this huge dark cosmic fortress.

In a room within this fortress, a blade demon who was sitting while cultivating suddenly opened his eyes, which then flashed with a mysterious purple color.
