The news of the Northern Sect Guardian City's Pri Heavenly Bank Branch being successfully robbed by an unknown thief took the entire Spirit Inferno Domain by storm.
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 seed to be suppressing it.
But how could a paper hold fla? The Pri Heavenly Bank was a colossal titan of the Mortal Ascension Heaven, and even though only their asly branch in a second-grade sect's region was robbed, this was still a huge matter.
However, the information seed to have been spread by none other than the thief himself! Soone 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 Pri 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 na 'Sky Stealer,' while in the other wing was written a peculiar ssage: '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 beca 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 tallic 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 extrely arrogant and provocative. Although no one knows who he was coming for or who this ssage was for, probably for the Pri 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 sa kind of owl murals in their treasuries.
Within half a day, the Sky Stealer beca extrely famous, and people debated his origin and prowess. So even believed he belonged to the notorious group of thieves equally renowned as him, the Nightfall Ravenhood, because the Sky Stealer's Dark Owl symbol was very similar to the Nightfall Ravenhood's White Raven.
Nonetheless, the na Sky Stealer instantly gained fa equal to the Nightfall Ravenhood, if not more, because the Nightfall Ravenhood hadn't appeared in five years.
So people even believed the Sky Stealer was the successor of the White Raven or the group's new leader. Many speculations and rumors were going around as people were trying to gather any information on the new thief who had single-handedly robbed the Pri Heavenly Bank's branch!
The Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect was naturally one of the few sects who got the news of the bank branch being robbed almost instantly. After all, the bank branch was right outside their doors and within their territory, so they knew the consequences if the bank decided to bla them!
Within a few hours, the sect master called a eting across the Sect, and no one dared miss it since they all knew what this eting was about. The Fla Master, Forger Master, vice hall leaders, elders, and even the family heads of four clans were summoned to the Sect Master Hall.
Soon, the usual barren hall beca lively as all the personnel took their respective seats and waited for the arrival of Sect Master Vincent. The mood was absolutely solemn and sowhat gloomy.
So elders were talking with each other in hush voices, and they were all discussing the news of the bank branch being robbed while they secretly glanced in the direction of the Norberg clan's personnel, who had sowhat pale and ugly expressions on their faces.
After all, the Northern Guardian Sect City was under the Norberg clan's rule and was also the most prosperous of the four main cities of the AIG Sect.
But now, not only the shops of the top first-grade sects were robbed, but even the branch of the Pri Heavenly Bank was raided on the sa night.
If it was only the first-grade sects, even quasi-second-grade sects, the Norberg clan wouldn't be afraid at all, and they could've easily compensated them to keep their mouths shut.
But it was no longer that simple, and those first-grade sects also got the courage to protest against the AIG Sect now. No matter how they looked at it, this would be an absolute disaster for the Norberg clan if the bank decided to point its finger at them. The high and mighty Norberg clan was now in trouble!
However, for so reason, the head of the Norberg Clan and the Forger Master seed deadly calm without any panic or fear, as if they were still in control, which made the other three clans' higher-ups narrow their eyes ever so slightly.
At this mont, the hush voices suddenly died down as they all looked towards the platform with the high chair. A Qi ripple suddenly appeared around it, and the next mont, Vincent, in his white robes, appeared sitting on the chair, his expression sowhat pale.
But he didn't say anything and instead waved his sleeve. Two more chairs appeared beside his, but slightly lower than his. The next mont, 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 mont, 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 sothing, 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 mont. 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 seed 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 sches 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 alard before his heart sank!
'Was it really him!? But how?!' Vincent thought with disbelief and bitterness!
