BXBX NOVEL Chapter 531 Art Of Mind Stealing
Furthermore, that place could only be accessed by the Imperial Family\'s direct lineage!
This Job Mission was even more difficult than the last chain mission.
However, the system reply came as a surprise to Ace.
"[The mission is to imprint the thief symbol, which means the host didn\'t need to steal anything to make the thief symbol appear this time.]"
Ace was baffled and quickly asked, "Then what I\'m supposed to do?"
He clearly knew the system mostly controlled the placement of the thief symbol when it came to non-living subjects. It never asked him about where he wanted to put them like living beings.
"[The host is required to stand on top of the building for 10 seconds, and the mission will be deemed complete. However, if the host could steal from the target, it will also deem a mission complete.]"
Ace\'s eyes squinted when he heard this. \'Standing on top of the Demon Temple? Although it is much easier, if those demons saw me, they might go mad with rage.
\'That place is considered the foundation place of the Demon Race, and every Demon Emperor\'s crown ceremony is held at that place, and without it, one can\'t be a real demon emperor.
\'But stealing the treasures inside the Demon Temple is even more unrealistic since that place is in the middle of Imperial Demon Palace, the most secure building on this continent.\'
Ace fell into deep thought as he considered his options. He had to admit with the dark owl wings, this mission wasn\'t as dangerous as he thought. But the problem was entering the imperial place without alerting anyone.
Even with aerial advantage, the demons won\'t be fool enough to leave this kind of weakness in their most sacred place.
So, he was required to have a deep understanding of the internal structure of the Imperial Place, which also would be a top-secret, and only a few might know about it.
Ace sighed in exasperation and pulled a wry smile. \'Although this mission sounds simple, it\'s more complex than my chain mission. Well, I have five years to figure it out, and I\'m about to infiltrate the Royal Demon Institute, which is under the control of the Imperials. It might not be as bad as I\'m thinking…\'
Ace\'s jittery mind calmed down, and his usual placid demeanor returned. He decided to cross this bridge when the time come, for now, he was going to focus on the matter at hand which was entering the Royal Demon Institute.
He looked outside, and they were still days away from the Grand Duke Estate, so he decided to receive his first reward, the Art of Mind Stealing, another law cultivation art like the Soul Words and Dual Shadow Swords!
The next moment, a torrent of information suddenly stormed into his mind, but he remained poised and absorbed the information.
However, even with his powerful knowledge processing ability, it still took him half a day to arrange the entire knowledge, which made Ace a little shocked because he only got memories of three realms out of ten!
The system had sealed the knowledge about seven realms of this technique, which meant Ace wasn\'t ready to even look at them, and this technique was extremely complex!

Ace couldn\'t help but marvel at this technique and also grimace at the restrictions and the seven seal realms.
\'By far, this is the most difficult technique I ever received from the system and with such a high level of restrictions. The Art of Mind Stealing was created by a heaven\'s stealer and this technique might be even stronger than an Upper-Sky Breaker cultivation art.
\'Well, it\'s not my concern for now. I\'m not even at the true Bronze Thievish Hand level and still lacking a little. Once I learn about short-term memories and their structure as described in the manual, I\'ll truly be at the Bronze Thievish Hand Realm.\'
Ace was delighted when he skimped through the details, and he knew he can easily fill the gap in his crude technique and truly enter the bronze thievish hand realm within days.
Furthermore, his soul probe will also become more potent with this technique, which would open a myriad of possibilities for him.
At that time, even someone like Empty Dream won\'t be able to mess with him, and he won\'t require the system\'s help to deal with his tricks either.
Since there were still six days before they reached the Grand Duke Estate, Ace immersed himself in the study of Bronze Thievish Hand before telling those guards to only disturbed him when they reached their destination.

Inside the last carriage in Archie\'s entourage,
The black face demon with a skinny constitution sat with a frown on his ugly face as he pondered about something begrudgingly.
\'What happened to that wastrel all of a sudden? He was eager to come here and even snuck out of the mansion at night despite being grounded by the Duke.
\'Could it be the Duke finally lost his patience with him and used something to force him back? No, that might not be possible, since that benign woman would always shield that wastrel even if he wreaks havoc in the Grand Demon Region.
\'Well, I\'ll find the answer when he returns. If it is the former case, then I\'ll have to report it to the young master…\' His dark brown eyes shimmered with coldness.

On this day,
Ace opened his eyes when he felt the Qi in his surrounding suddenly increase by at least two folds!
He looked outside and saw a beautiful landscape filled with Qi trees and colorful flowers, but the most eye-catching thing was the herb fields spreading as far as eyes could see.
\'So, this is the Grand Demon Region\'s core district, and the Life Demon Tribe\'s headquarters!\'
Ace was quite familiar with this view after seeing it in Archie\'s memories, but unlike him, he found it rather refreshing and beautiful.
Furthermore, they passed the security check without any hitch, nor did anyone dare to check someone from the Soul Life Demon Clan unless the Grand Demon Duke gave the order himself.
It made his journey even smoother, and now, only a few miles remained until he reached the Runic Demon Duke Estate, which was where Archie\'s family live.
The Runic Demon Duke was none other than the title of Archie\'s father.
There was one Grand Demon Duke, and three Demon Dukes in Life Demon Tribes. The Life Demon Tribe was one of the founding tribes of the mighty demon empire, and they had earned huge merits in all these years.
Their tribe was a true pillar of the empire, and their position was unshakable unless the imperials lost their mind and decided to exterminate them.
Although the Life Demon Tribe looked harmonized and peaceful from the outside view, but many dangers lurk within the calm region of the Life Grand Demon Region.
Forget about the Grand Demon Duke\'s family, the competition between the three-duke families was immense, and from shadows, they always tried to adverse each other\'s paths.
Although Archie never cared about it in the past, he never fought with the others for any special resources or showed any ambitions. But this doesn\'t mean he wasn\'t under anyone\'s radar.
Just his astonishing talent was enough to make many jealous and keep a close eye on his every action.
But Archie had proved in these years that he really didn\'t care about his image or anything, in fact. So, the eyes on him were now very few.
However, it was about it change as his carriage stopped outside a vast mansion, and \'Archie\' disembarked the carriage with a faint smirk on his demonic face!
