“… how do you know it was me since you didn’t know I can use another element Qi?”


    Ace couldn’t help but ask since this confused him because he never revealed this identity to Noa nor did he tell her about his unique element Qis, so he was surprised by how Noa know it was him.


    Noa’s eyes shimmered mysteriously, “Although I don’t know how the Leader could use the light element Qi. But the leader didn’t know that in the entire demon race, there was not a single demon tribe that had an affinity with the light element! So, it wasn’t hard to know who could use the light element in the demon race. Besides, I also have learned new soul-ability. It also helped.”


    Ace finally remembered the demon race deemed the creature ording to the system, so using the light element was a colossal blunder. However, he was more interested in her new ability.


    ‘Could it be just like my soul signature?’ Ace guessed with skepticism.


    “Tell me more about this ability?” Ace asked.


    Noa replied truthfully with a hint of excitement, “It’s called, ‘Assassin Mark’, it can not only help me lock on a target soul but after the Assassin-Mark is sessfully locked any attack at the target will have a 100% connect rate.


    “It doesn’t matter if they are soul attacks or physical attacks, they will connect within a fifty-meter radius area. And as long as they didn’t leave fifty meters away from me, I can sense them even if they used some treasure.


    “As for the leader, my Assassin Mark failed, and I instantly know your soul was stronger than me, and when you used the martial Qi, it wasn’t hard to guess who can have a powerful soul despite martial cultivation.”


    Ace couldn’t help but be startled by this Assassin Mark ability. It was like a marker of death, and even he didn’t notice Noa using it on him, despite his strong soul cultivation._.


    He took a deep breath and said, “But I could’ve possessed a soul defensive treasure, right? Then what you’ll do?”


    Noa chuckled and said, “That’s where Leader is wrong, you see, no matter what kind of defensive soul treasure you had, as long as my soul is stronger than yours the Assassin Mark will lock on you. Then there was your mission and also that sword intent, so I quickly know it was you.”


    Ace couldn’t help but wryly smile, “It seemed you’ll be a nightmare for your enemies with Assassin Mark and No Kill. Even I felt envious of those two abilities.”


    Noa rebuke with a hint of tion by Ace praise, “Please don’t joke around. I know if you were using your true skills, I wouldn’t stand a chance, just like that sword torrent I almost shredded into pieces.”


    Ace slyly chucked and didn’t tell her thest move was based on soul Qi, and it was just a mirage created by soul Qi, and only some of those shes were the real deal.


    Albeit, it was extremely deadly since it gave Ace the chance to sneak attack while the others had no clues about the nature of Ten Thousand Shadow Mirage.


    Right now, he could only create real thousand shadow mirages or two thousand if he gave it his all.


    Nheless, he was still d that Noa was bing more strong and more cheerful after the ocean demon tribe’s destruction. She wasn’t as cold and indifferent as before.


    However, she was only warm to him and still cold and indifferent towards others and that was why she was an assassin, no lives matter to her except Ace anymore!


    “Well, since you’re doing just fine, I don’t need to worry about you anymore. Here, I have gifts for you.” Ace smiled and give twenty storage rings to her.


    Noa ept with some anticipation and quickly banded all the storage rings with her soul mark and when she examined them, her eyes went wide with disbelief.


    Five storage rings were filled with all kinds of soul medicines and ten of them were filled with grade martial medicines, while thest five were filled with grade Qi stones and some talismans from the system.


    “T-this…?”


    “Haha, I got all of this from Livy and the ocean demon treasuryst time. Albeit, I used all the soul pills. I save all those soul materials for you so you could practice your soul alchemy, and there might be materials you needed for your body refinement technique there, as well.


    “You should practice that technique as soon as possible because all those demons from the demon king grade n had cultivated body refinement techniques to some levels, and they’re truly strong.” Said, Ace.


    Noa’s expression turned serious hearing this and nodded, “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you. This will really help me greatly.”


    Ace nodded and his expression turn grim as he said, “I also have another mission for you and I think you would profit from it the most, and it will also help me with my next thievery as well. But it will be extremely dangerous, though.


    “Although I give you a life escape coin and some talismans to you, it still might leave you half dead if you make any mistake. I want your honest thoughts about it?”


    Noa said without even thinking, “Please don’t look down on me. I have received so much from you, I don’t want to be a burden.”


    Ace sighed before a white mask appeared in his hand and give it to Noa, “This is the Mist Camouge Mask, a legacy treasure from the mist demon. It can help you store three faces and change your appearance and cultivation ordingly.


    “It would help you enter the de domain and also support you in your mission, while I’ll be ying Feng for a while longer. You also don’t have to be afraid of manifestation realm cultivation as well.”


    Noa was startled when Ace said Mist Demon Tribe because she knew there was only one mist demon tribe and there weren’t many who dare to mess with that tribe, much less steal their legacy treasure.


    Furthermore, this mask was far more precious because of its functions. She didn’t know how Ace got his hands on it, but she with it, she could move around freely as long as she didn’t make any mistakes.


    After Noa received the mask, Ace solemnly said, “So, here’s the n. First, you need to find a face…


    Ace disclosed his n, and they discussed it for a few hours before he left Noa to do her own thing after issuing the system’s mission.


    As long as she did ording to his n, they both going to cause an incredible uproar!


    —


    It was already thest day off to de domainpetition and many demons were eagerly waiting to go back.


    They had all undergone a baptism of blood and all of them had a cold aura around them because of the harsh environment they live in for five months.


    Albeit thepetition was extremely cruel and unfair to de Domain Participants, they had to admit this factor also strengthened them and give them an urate idea about their fighting abilities and their ws.


    The moment of thest day was over.


    Everyone, no matter if they were from the de domain or the mist domain, their wristbands suddenly glow and a solemn voice sounded.


    “First Phase is over, the wristbands are also sealed, and they no longer recorded your points anymore, so there’s no need to fight anymore.


    “Participants from Mist Domain, please head toward the northern exit of the outer region.


    “Participants from de Domain, please head toward the southern exit of the outer region.


    “Everyone will get further instruction from your escorts…’n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Everyone started to cheer with happiness and relief. They all knew they were extremely lucky to leave with their life, and they deserved this moment of happiness.


    Many demons from both sides sighed helplessly because they didn’t manage to achieve their goals for various reasons.


    Nevertheless, everyone started to move toward their respective exits without more fighting while some demons still try to kill some demons who they had personal grievances with while others simply looked the other way.


    —


    While thisrge movement was started in the shadow mountain range, two demons were standing in a remote region between two provinces.


    One of them was surrounded by a dark mistpletely blurring her appearance, while the other one was a handsome middle-aged demon who had a huge grin on his face as if he was enjoying seeing that dark, glooming mist around this figure.


    They were both Mist Demon King and de Demon King, meeting after thepetition to conclude the result of their bet, which they made a few months ago after the mist demon king’s provocation.


    de Demon King jeeringly said, “I know you’re angry, and that’s why you’re hiding your face. But don’t even think that I would forget about my reward just because you’re not feeling happy.


    “ording to our bet, if your domain participants managed to hunt down three of these five participants, ‘Feng, Ramiro, Jaxx, Thomas, and Alora, I will hand over my Soul Tracking Talisman.


    “However, if they failed, you will politely hand over the Sky Sword Manual, and we had already signed a soul contract, and it was also your idea, so hand it over!”
