Chapter 421: Hey, That Thief God Hall Junior

Chapter 421 -418: Hey, That Thief God Hall Junior

Hearing the Thief Master’s words, Elder Yun’s girlish heart was bursting. “Brother Jiu Da~!”

“Haha, you’re right. We’re all getting on in years.” The Thief Master let out a helpless laugh. His gaze shifted past Feng Hao to Xi Yueyao, and his interest was immediately piqued. “Xiaofeng, this girl is…?”

Feng Hao snapped back to his senses, quickly pulling Yao Girl forward. “Yaoyao, greet your Master.”

“So you’re my man’s master?” Xi Yueyao asked, blinking her eyes playfully.

“Well now!” the Thief Master cried out in mock surprise. He rushed in front of Yao Girl, looking her up and down, growing more and more pleased. “Look, everyone, look! My little disciple-in-law is so beautiful! Quick, tell Master your name.”

“Xi Yueyao. You can just call me Yaoyao,” Yao Girl replied sweetly.

The Thief Master nodded in satisfaction. “Tsk, tsk, even your name is lovely. Worthy of being Xiaofeng’s wife, indeed. By the way, I heard from Xiaofeng that your elders are from the Holy Hall. Why don’t you have a word with them and just join our Thief God Hall?”

“No can do. My grand-aunt said only the Holy Hall can bring out the potential of our family’s bloodline,” Xi Yueyao said, pouting her lips.

The Thief Master faltered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. “If that’s the case, then forget it. It’s all the same in the end.”

At that moment, a soft snort from the direction of the Academy Alliance cut through the group’s laughter.

Frodet could be seen staring over, his expression dark. He snorted coldly and said, “Hey, you! That junior from the Thief God Hall!”

“Are you calling me?” the Thief Master asked, giving Frodet a strange look.

“That’s right,” Frodet said, stepping forward coldly. “Spill it. What’s the deal with your [Master Dao]?”

The Thief Master nodded thoughtfully. Then, under everyone’s stunned gazes, he suddenly lashed out, kicking Frodet square in the chest. Frodet had no time to react and was sent flying.

“Junior, my ass! When I was kicking around the Ancient Cang Realm, your father was probably still in his mother’s womb,” the Thief Master grunted proudly. “As for my [Master Dao], it does have a little something to do with your Academy Alliance, it’s true. But so what? What are you gonna do about it?”

“COUGH, COUGH…” Frodet, dizzy from the kick, felt his old face flush red with rage. He furiously drew his sword and charged at the Thief Master.

Instantly, the members of the Academy Alliance and the Thief God Hall took their stances. A huge battle was about to erupt.

The other sects surrounding them stood aside as if watching a good show, while a few elders secretly discussed the Thief Master’s origins.

Feng Hao was also startled by the Thief Master’s actions. To be honest, it was only after that kick that he dazedly realized, ‘The Thief God Hall’s methods can never be explained by common sense.’

However, just as the two sides were about to erupt into a chaotic battle, the situation took a sudden turn. The array’s seal, which had only just stabilized, began to tremble once more.

Feeling the demonic beast struggle, the expressions of everyone from the various factions changed dramatically.

“Dammit, what’s gone wrong again?” the Thief Master cursed under his breath, his face grim. “Kid, we’ll talk about the fight later. Stabilizing the seal is what’s important!”

Though furious, Frodet knew what was more important. He gritted his teeth, retracted his longsword, and rushed toward the [Core Matrix].

Soon, the Thief Master and the elders of the five great sects once again began to suppress the seal. At the same time, the tremors from deep underground grew more violent, and the atmosphere became grave.

“Why is this happening?” Feng Hao asked, looking toward the group from the academy in surprise and doubt.

Dean Meng of the Array Division said, his face pale, “I’m afraid the damage to the seal is even more severe than we imagined. The six seniors won’t be able to hold on for much longer. We must find another way.”

“Cut the crap and just tell us how to solve it!” West Moon Ridge, who had been catching up with Barbarian Three Punches and his wife nearby, quickly rushed over as well.

Dean Meng’s brow was tightly furrowed. He said hesitantly, “As I see it, the best way is to solve the problem from inside the seal. But that would require sending people in, which would be extremely dangerous.”

“And because the seal is still unstable, we can only send in Mages below the seventh rank at most,” Dean Meng added with a bitter smile.

“Only below the seventh rank?” West Moon Ridge’s expression turned grim. “Isn’t that just sending them to their deaths?”

Dean Meng explained seriously, “Not necessarily. While the high-level demonic beast is powerful, it is ultimately in a sealed state, so its strength isn’t as great as it could be. Moreover, Sun Sword Saint used his own [Daoist Heaven and Earth] to seal it back in the day. Theoretically speaking, if we can awaken Sun Sword Saint’s slumbering will, we can suppress the beast.”

Hearing this, the crowd relaxed a little.

Just as everyone was struggling with whether to send people in to brave the danger, the Thief Master and the elders from the five great sects suddenly opened their eyes and commanded in unison, “Stop hesitating! The beast is frantically battering the seal. Send people in, quickly!”

“All disciples of Thousand Blades Valley below the seventh rank, on my command! All of you are to enter the seal and assist!” roared Elder Wenjian of Thousand Blades Valley.

Immediately after, the other four great sects issued the same order.

Only the Thief Master sneered mockingly, “Hmph, the five great sects are so hypocritical. If you want to seize the opportunity to get Sun Sword Saint’s inheritance, just say so. Don’t make it sound so grand and righteous.”

At these words, the old faces of Frodet, Elder Wenjian, and the others instantly flushed red.

The Thief Master couldn’t be bothered with them, turning instead to Feng Hao and the academy’s group. “The boss, number two, and number three have lost their chance. Everyone else who qualifies, go give it a try. Right, and you juniors from the Five Provinces Academy, don’t just stand there. This is your home turf. You have more right than anyone to go in.”

In that moment, the eyes of the younger generation from the major sects began to sparkle as they rubbed their hands in eagerness.

On West Moon Ridge’s side, the moment the news broke, he said to Xiyue Frost and Man Tiaotiao, “Xiaoshuang, Tiaotiao, you two go as well. You absolutely cannot miss such a golden opportunity.”

“Uh, it’s just an inheritance. Is there any need to get this excited?” Feng Hao asked in disbelief.

Lin Luo, at his side, explained, “That’s the inheritance of the Black Light Sword Saint, Sun Yalong! How could you not be excited? It’s a pity we’re all already seventh rank, or we would absolutely have to go in.”

“Is this Black Light Sword Saint that incredible?” Feng Hao asked, astonished.

“A name from hundreds of millions of years ago that’s still illustrious today—that doesn’t come just from one sword strike at the Sword Language Coast, but from his supreme strength and battle record,” Lin Luo said, his eyes filled with adoration.

“So, you’re saying I should probably go in and try my luck?”

“Of course! And it’s best if you, Sanmei, and Yaoyao all go in. If you’re lucky, maybe you can win another top-tier inheritance for our Thief God Hall. That would be a fantastic turn of events,” Lin Luo said, nodding seriously.

Upon hearing this, Feng Hao no longer hesitated. He quickly joined Xi Yueyao and Mei Meimei, and they walked toward the core matrix together.

Since they were going to explore the inside of the seal, it was naturally better to team up.

Feng Hao glanced at the crowd preparing to enter the seal and decided to reassemble the team from the Sun Yaowen rescue. The only difference was the addition of Mei Meimei, an unstable variable.
