Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What was a Divine Thief?

The Saint of Thieves was an excellent title given by the industry practitioners.

Of course.

There was no denying that half the reason that the title of Divine Thief was creating was due to Xu Bai coercing Zhu Cong to help him brag. However, even so, it represented Xu Bai’s status in this special industry.

Moreover…

He was also taught by Zhu Cong. Even though he and Zhu Cong had gone their separate ways and had not continued to work in this industry, it did not mean that Xu Bai had not paid attention before.

Xu Bai knew Zhu Cong’s intelligence merchant.

Xu Bai knew Zhu Cong’s middleman.

Xu Bai also knew when Zhu Cong had returned to Feng City. However, due to some misunderstanding, he did not disturb him.

so…

Xu Bai knew that Zhu Cong did not quit his career like he had claimed.

Before this, Xu Bai had thought that Zhu Cong was still a thief out of habit, so he didn’t think too much about it. However, after hearing Zhu Nianyan’s words, he couldn’t help but contemplate.

“Dao injury?”

“Yes.”

Zhu Nianyan nodded heavily. “Yes, it’s a Dao injury. If it weren’t for the uniqueness of our Thief Sect’s cultivation technique, I’m afraid that grandfather would have fallen from the Transcendent Realm more than ten years ago because of a Dao injury. He might even…”

Zhy Nianyan did not finish her sentence, but Xu Bai understood.

If it wasn’t for the Thief Sect’s cultivation technique, Heaven Mending Strategy, which could plunder the luck of evil people for his own use, Zhu Cong, who was originally a Nascent Soul cultivator, would have died very quickly due to his Dao injury…

He would have died.

But…

“How did he get a Dao injury”

“My dad said that it was because of the Su family.”

Zhu Nianyan did not seem to have any reservations as she told Xu Bai, “Back then, Grandpa descended the mountain at the invitation of Old Master Su Mingli of the Su family. That’s when he got injured. This must have something to do with the Su family.”

She was so straightforward, not just because of information deal that she had just agreed on.

In a single sentence.

Xu Bai wanted to clarify this matter for Su Meng’s sake.

Zhu Nianyan and her parents been trying to figure out the truth for the sake of Zhu Cong.

Therefore, even though Xu Bai and Zhu Nianyan had different intentions, they sought the same answer.

Xu Bai lowered his head and pondered.

Twenty-one years ago, Zuo Lei mistakenly thought that his wife, Su Ruyu, was having an affair with Su Bancheng. In a fit of anger, he kidnapped Su Ruyu, who was pregnant at the time. After that, Zuo Lei’s files were erased and all the police officers involved in the case were arrested

It was twenty-one years ago when Zhu Cong was invited by Su Ming Li to descend the mount where he got his Dao injury and his cultivation level declined instead of improving. He had no choice but to commit theft every da to maintain his gradually weakening realm.

Su Mingli.

Su Ruyu.

Su Bancheng. Zhu Cong.

Su Meng..

Xu Bai leaned back on the sofa and looked up. His eyes were empty as he stared at the ceiling above his head. In his mind, clues were spinning rapidly like a ball of string that was densely packed but he could not find the thread. He tried his best to find the thread of the ball of string and then completely straighten out everything.

“Oh, right.’

Zhu Nianyan thought for a moment and her eyes lit up. She looked at Xu Bai and said, “There’s one more thing regarding the cause of grandpa’s injury.” Xu Bai returned to his senses and looked at Zhu Nianyan.

“Ever since grandfather suffered a Dao injury, father has been searching for the reason. A month ago, father went to the Great Desolate World. When he came back, he said that grandfather’s Dao injury had been left behind in the great desolate world.”

“Great Desolate?”

“Yes, Dad said that he found some clues in the Great Desolate World:s Yin World. He’s still investigating the details but he can be sure that Grandpa’s Dao injury was due to the power of reincarnation in the Great Desolate

Underworld.”

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.

After listening to this sentence, Su Meng’s figure appeared in his mind again, as well as the status bar that suddenly switched between the ‘Federation Human Tribe’ and the ‘Great Wilderness Human Tribe’ after Su Meng stepped into the Dao.

The Great Desolate World’s Yin World Reincarnation.

Xu Bai, who seemed to have discovered something, closed his eyes again and leaned back in the sofa. He threw the newly discovered clues into the dense mystery.

In an instant.

A string of threads seemed to be looming in Xu Bail s eyes.

But…

Just as Xu Bai was about to pull out the thread and solve the mystery, he opened his eyes again and shook his head under Zhu Nianyan’s gaze.

“What’s wrong?”

“Have you thought of something?” Zhu Nianyan asked.”

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Nianyan and shook his head, “How much do you know about the vast Great Desolate World?”

Zhu Nianyan shook her head. “I’m from the Federation and I haven’t even stepped into the Dao yet. Dad and Grandpa didn’t say much about the Grand

Desolate World. What’s wrong?”

Xu Bai smiled and said that he was fine. Then, he got up from the sofa.

“I want to find a person from the vast Great Desolate World.”

“Ah, are there still wild people from the vast wilderness in the Federation?”

‘Wild?”

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Nianyan suspiciously.

“The Heavenly Sword Bureau has a magic treasure called the Supreme

Heavenly Mirror. It’s said that it can control any supernatural being from the Great Desolate World without exception.”

Xu Bai smiled. “I don’t believe you.”

‘What? Why?” “Because I happen to know a person from the Great Desolate World.”

“Ah, it’s…”

Xu Bai ignored Zhu Nianyan and tried to say something. He walked towards the door without looking back and waved his hand. “I’ll give you the information you want tomorrow morning. Alright, I’m leaving.”

After saying that.

Xu Bai opened the door of the pawnshop and walked out without looking back.

He did know many people from the Great Desolate World.

But…

The big part of the Great Desolate World is the enemy’s base. If those who they met didn’t become enemies after the first encounter, it would surely happen after the second.

Xu Bai counted carefully. From the moment he saw the first person from the Great Desolate World, he had killed at least 20 to 30 people.

Fortunately.

There was also a living person from the Great Desolate World that he knew.

Skinny Monkey.

A childhood friend who was originally considered a background character in the Great Desolate World. He accidentally died and then reincarnated into the Federation World. Then, he awakened his memories from his previous life.

In the Old Factory Community.

Skinny Monkey’s expression was a little dull. He looked at Xu Bai, who had rushed over hurriedly and asked about the Great Desolate World’s Yin World without even drinking a sip of water. He could not help but blink his. “Great Desolate World’s Yin World?”

Xu Bai nodded. “Yes, have you ever been there?”

Shou Hou opened his mouth and looked at Xu Bai with a strange expression. “What do you think, Boss? I was reincarnated from the Yin World. However, I don’t know what went wrong that caused me to be reincarnated into the Federation world.”

“No, no. I mean, how much do you know about your netherworld?” Xu Bai waved his hand.

Shou Hou frowned. “What’s wrong, Boss?”

“I’m very curious.”

There was no netherworld in the Federation.

The netherworld was responsible for the afterlife of all living beings in a world. There was an ocean of people. In the Federation’s world, the Heavenly Dao was no longer around, so there was no need to mention the netherworld.

This was also the reason why the Heavenly Axiom of the Great Desolate World had its eyes on the Federation World.

Instead of fighting to the death with another world with the Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t it be better to directly annex a world that was also a world without the Heavenly Dao and had pitifully low risk?

But that was not the point.

The disappearance of the Heavenly Axiom in the Federation did not mean that there was no normal order of reincarnation. It only meant that the order of reincarnation in the Federation was mechanical and rigid.

To put it bluntly.

There were no living beings in the netherworld of the Federation. After a living being died, they would immediately enter the cycle of reincarnation under the influence of their instincts, completing the assembly line operation under the cold machine.

But…

The Great Desolate World was different with the Yin World.

There were people in the Great Desolate World’s Yin world. This meant that if someone wanted to use reincarnation to do something, the Great Desolate

World’s Yin World was much easier to use compared to the Federation’s Yin World.

Xu Bai seriously suspected that the secret that the Su Clan and Zhu Cong were trying to hide lay in this.

Su Meng’s birth had a lot to do with the reincarnation of the Great Desolate World.

But suspicion doesn’t equate to evidence.

He was a detective, and he was the one who needed evidence.

Skinny Monkey could not help but laugh bitterly when he heard Xu Bail s question. “I only remember that I was thrown in by some ghost general at the time. I’m not sure about the rest. Boss, I’ve already said inthe Great Desolate World, my existence can’t even be considered as a background. How can I understand the operating rules of the netherworld?”

“But you’re a genuine Great Desolate World person,” Xu Bai said with a smile. “Besides, you’re the only Great Desolate World person I know. I may have known others, but I think I killed them all.”

Skinny Monkey opened his mouth. “I only know some legends that have been passed down in the marketplace. These legends have been passed down by countless people. By the time they reached me, they were completely different.’

Xu Bai took a sip of the bourbon in his glass and smiled, “Looking at a leopard through a tube will still give you a leapord. No matter how ridiculous it is, there is still some basis in reality.”

Seeing this, Shou Hou did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

“Yin world… Rumors.”

“When I was in the village, I heard someone mention it.”

“It’s said that one year, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Sect caused a ruckus in the Yin World and tried to snatch the Yin World’s supreme treasure, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk. It’s said that during that battle, the Yin World was covered in blood and countless Yin World Dynasties were completely destroyed.’

“I heard from the villagers that the Saintess wanted to snatch the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and return to her previous world. She said that someone was waiting for her.”

“I don’t know whether this is true.”

“This is probably the biggest rumor related to the netherworld in my memory. The rest are romantic love stories about a scholar who entered the netherworld for a certain ghost and a husband and wife who quarreled in the netherworld because of a divorce. Then there’s the story of a certain dynasty a hundred years ago, where there was no heir and the queen begged for a child in the netherworld. Then there’s…”

“Seeking a child from the Yin World.”

Xu Bai heard these key words and looked at Skinny Monkey. “Explain in detail.”

Skinny Monkey was speechless..
