_______

The Demon Tamer Province was the biggest province of the eight provinces, and many powerful demon tribes reside here because of the high Qi density.

Furthermore, unlike the other provinces, the Demon Tamer Province was special because it had only ten massive cities and a King Domain. All of these cities were controlled by the Demon Tamer's ten clans.

They were known as the Ten Magistrate Clans.

Their authority was even higher than Demon Dukes, and this give the Demon Tamer tribe absolute control over the Demon Tamer Province.

The Black River City was located a few miles away from one of the forbidden zones of the eight demon provinces, the Black River, where black water streams.

It was the largest river of demon tamer province and, according to the legends; this river directly led to the royal zone. But no one was alive from the venture of proving that the legend was true.

Anyhow, the Black River City was ranked in the middle when it comes to city space or prowess and it was filled with hidden experts.

Right at this moment, a large carriage drawn by two Demonic Wind Lions was undergoing a throughout search by a special search team with a variety of anti-concealing treasures and arrays.

A gray demon with a 2.3-meter height and a fierce look was also undergoing checking by the guards.

"Brother, you know me. I'm a merchant. I pass from Black River City every other day. Do you need to waste your precious time like this every time I pass or leave the city?" His deep voice was filled with dismay.

The guard, clad in black armor, replies in a helpless tone, "You can only blame that malicious thief for this. He has been robbing and killing people for over a year now, and everyone is searching for his traces. We or anyone is under strict orders to check even a fly who wanted to enter or leave the cities."

The gray demon sighed as an array englobed him, "I heard about this matter in the other cities as well. But didn't that thief only active around the Blade and Moon provinces? Why the security in Demon Tamer Province as well? A mere thief can't travel all the way here under so many dangerous places, right?"

"This I don't know either." The guard shakes his head. He also had no clue about this matter. He closed the array and nodded. "You're free to go. Sorry for the trouble."

"Happy to help." The gray demon nodded and embarked on his carriage and enter the city.

The black river city was filled with majesty tall buildings and vast streets as carriages drawn by vicious beasts were moving around the city.

The citizens walking on the streets were also powerful, and the weakest of them was a Six Qi Gate Realm at least. There weren't any mortals in this place, and everyone was a cultivator.

This was the terrifying aspect of the demon tamer province. No mortal was allowed here. They simply can't survive in this place!

As the gray demon moved with great familiarity towards the place and he drove the carriage toward the market area of the Black River City, which was the busiest place in the entire city.

Soon, he stopped in front of a lavish fifteen-story shop named 'Treasure Cloud Firm' and he entered after ordering the guards to move the goods on the carriage to the warehouse.

This demon directly moved toward the upper floors and when he was on the third floor, he slowly crept toward the west edge.

After making sure no one was paying attention, he dashed his fingers on the wall in a strange pattern and a faint clicking sound rang.

However, no one noticed as the gray demon himself had already vanished from plain sight and the wall suddenly turned into a door. But it didn't last long as it opened and close in an instant and the hidden door vanished.

The gray demon appeared again in this dark narrow passage and after he quickly reached the end, there was nothing except the wall.

However, the demon again started tapping on the left wall and before long, a hidden door appeared and light appeared from the cracks.

He unhurriedly entered the bright space, and he entered a spacious, bright room.

On the room corner, an enthralling demoness, with an oval face and pale white skin and violet eyes, and long violet hair, wearing a green attire was sitting calmly with a cold expression as she looked at the gray demon with a hint of resentment in her watery eyes.

The gray demon suddenly beamed a bright smile when he saw the gorgeous demoness and greeted, "We meet again. Aliya."

This enthralling demoness was indeed Aliya, Freya's closest aid and assistant. She was also the one who was managing the Spica Syndicate in Freya's absence.

Aliya's eyes were icy as she looked at the gray demon with a hint of hatred as if he snatched her most precious thing. She said, "Where is Mistress, Sky Stealer?"

The gray demon non-other than Ace in his new disguise, it has been over a year since he last appeared in the public eye.

After spending three months in the Misty Rain Forest, he continued his traveling, and he entered the Demon Tamer Province after seven months.

Crossing the Spear Deon Province had taken quite some time since there were many dangerous places he had to cross and he even encountered powerful demons searching for him on his way.

Furthermore, not only he had to avoid those demons, but he barely escaped the massive formation between the borders of spear and demon tamer province, which was abruptly activated when he was already between the two provinces.

He had to admit now that these demons were putting everything just to find clues on his whereabouts, and the Life Demon Association was providing resources to operate those massive formations. They almost managed to corner him.

If not for live fate mapping and his improved skills, he would've been in huge trouble and might've got captured by those demons right now.

In the end, he managed to cross the border with great difficulty and then contact Aliya. He wanted the information about what was happening to get those demons coming after him like he had robbed their ancestors.

He hadn't been able to use the communication cube in the wild because he was out of reach, and Freya had told him that she had Aliya move into the Demon Tamer Province when she left the blade province.

That's why he could only contact her when he entered the Demon Tamer Province.

However, Aliya wasn't too happy when she found Ace on the other side of Freya's communication cube. Nonetheless, she was under strict order to help Ace any way he wanted, and his command was equal to Freya's command.

She then arranged an identity for Ace and told him to meet her in this hideout.

Although she had arranged this identity for Ace, she was shocked at how easily Ace managed to pass the guards and enter this place.

Ace's identity as the Sky Stealer wasn't a secret to her anymore, despite that, she was shocked under all the surveillance Ace could walk in Black River City.

The scariest thing was even she can't see through Ace's disguise with her special skill that allow her to see through illusion.

Ace smiled wryly when he saw Freya's unfriendly attitude toward him. He knows she was feisty and quite wary of him since she didn't know about the detail of how Freya joined him.

He said, "Don't worry, she's with me and you'll see her soon. Thanks, by the way, for arranging this identity for me. The real demon should be back by now."

Ace had specifically told her to send the person himself so he could get the memories of that person and this will make his disguise flawless. He was very careful after he encountered all those search parties.

Aliya's expression softened a little when she heard her mistress was fine and soon appeared. She nodded, "No problem, I was only doing this for Mistress."

Ace's tone suddenly turned stern as he spoke. "What's the deal with me being robbing and killing people? Who is denigrating me?"

If something concerned him the most was this matter, he found it after he annexed the memories of this gray demon. He found out that in his absence, there were multiple robberies under his name and thief symbol.

But what make him enraged and paid attention to the matter was not that someone impersonates him, but they were killing innocent people and plundering from the poor and in the last case someone had destroyed a town on the moon province under his name.

This naturally infuriated him, since he would never do something like this, but he also knew someone was trying to use these underhand tactics to draw him out.

That's why he had Aliya look into this until he reached here, and if they wanted to play this game, he played them to death!
