Eternal Thief
chapter-712

At the peak of Sun Mountain was a magnificent golden palace. It was called the Palace of Sun because it was where the Sun Lord lived!

Within the Sun Palace was a colosseum-like structure, which was called the Sun Court.

At this moment, many figures were gathered in the Sun Court as they all took high seats. Furthermore, they all wore purple Union robes, which clearly represent their status as the High Union Elders!

Additionally, there was a total of 28 High Union Elders present in the Sun Court at this moment, which also means all the High Union Elders existing in the union at this moment were gathered together, and this was the complete Union Elder Council!

The last time this kind of gathering happened was a few centuries ago.

On top of the Sun Court were two empty thrones; one was golden, and the other was silver; these thrones belonged to the Sun Lord and Moon Lord.

But no one was paying attention to those thrones as they were all looking in the center of the sun court where a projection was playing where a large crowd was gathered outside the Inner Sun Domain Library, which now has a golden barrier surrounding it which clearly wasn't present a few minutes ago.

At the very front of this crowd were standing clad in Union's blue robes, Union Elders, and all those Union Elders were only a step away from becoming High Union Elders!

This scenery was rare in the Union when Union Elders at the top of their races were present outside a commonplace when normally they were all too aloof even to leave their sectors.

Furthermore, all of them were looking at a kneeling devil youth in Union scholar robes who had an ashen expression. He was the same devil who approached White in the library a few minutes ago and could also be considered the reason for this barrier!

"So, you're saying you approached Lord Junior, and he got annoyed with you that he sealed the entire library?" A Devil Union Elder with an impassive expression asked, but his tone continued with deadly intent as he looked at the youth of his race.

The devil youth trembled as he knew the exalted identity of this devil union elder. He was the former head of the top three devil clans present among all the private sectors under the devil race.

Like the High Union Elder Ranking, the Union Elders also have their own ranking, which could be determined by the Union Cultivation Towers of each domain. Both domains' ranking was unified since all the cultivation towers were connected to each other.

An old retired monster like this devil was not to be trifled with because he ranked 19th in the Union Elder unified ranking!

One had to know there were 386 Union Elders and ranked, and a Union Elder was someone with Quasi Law Awareness Realm Cultivation. So, ranked 19th among 386 QLA Realm cultivators was quite a huge deal.

Everyone knew the Union Elders in the top 10 had over 80% chance of breaking into the Law Awareness Realm while the rank among 11th to 20th has 50%. That's why these guys were akin to future high union elders, and no one wants to be on their bad side.

Moreover, these guys seldom leave their cultivation chambers. Still, today almost all the high-ranking Union Elders appeared outside the library because of only one reason, to meet the Junior Union Leader who appeared out of thin air!

All they wanted by doing this was to rope in the Junior Union Leader at their side or at least leave a good impression on him. These guys had ears and eyes almost all over the inner sun domain, so they easily tracked down White's whereabouts in the library.

The Union Leader was the enigmatic figure in everyone's mind who was akin to God, and now he had taken a student, and he was among them. It was akin to a god walking among the mortals for many of the union members.

The same goes for these Union Elders as they didn't even dare to mess with High Union Elder, much less mess with someone who has an even higher status than the Sun Lord and Moon Lord.

But it didn't mean they would back down. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to befriend the future Union Leader or even have him own them some favor.

But when they came here with all kinds of schemes in their minds, they were greeted with the sight of the barrier around the library, and even they couldn't enter anymore, which clearly made them unhappy.

However, they didn't dare to show it on their faces because the authority Junior Union Leader just showed nothing ever seen before, and they didn't dare to pass any comment, fearful that the Union Leader might be listing to them.

Upon further investigation, they found the actual reason for this barrier, and they all surrounded the devil youth like hungry wolves.

Furthermore, some Elders of the other races gloat at the Devil Race's misfortune since this youth belonged to their race. Now that he annoyed the Junior Union Leader, he must have a terrible expression of the Devil Race.

The Devil Race didn't put others in their eyes normally, but now they were absolutely spooked by this small event.

Sharing the same sentiment as the Devil Race were the Hunter Race as their race's girl directly attacked the Junior Union Leader. However, this matter was still quickly suppressed by the higher-ups in the Hunter Race, while the Devil Race didn't even have time to do anything as this entire incident was witnessed by many.

Nevertheless, the Hunter Race was also determined to have the Junior Union Leader forget about this matter and bring the entire family of that girl to make them apologize by kneeling in front of him.

But alas, now that the Junior Union Leader locked himself in the library, not to mention them, the other races can't intrude either. This also made them reproach their view of the Junior Union Leader, who seemed to be quite a short temper.

The Devil Race could be said to have done them a great favor, so now they can make a strategy for how to approach the Junior Union Leader.

"I-I…" The devil youth couldn't speak even a word under the pressure of all those Union Elders, and he never thought this day would come when a glorious young master like him would be made publicly kneel by his own family elders. They looked at him like they were looking at a dead person.

They might probably kill him if they needed it to get into White's good books.

At this moment, before those elders could further inquire or make things worse for the Devil Race, the Union Guardian's heavy voice rang.

"Do you all want to disturb Lord Junior Union Lord's study?"

Everyone's expression warped almost instantly, even the Union Elders, they knew things were going south, and then they finally remembered that a massive crowd was gathered behind them.

Before anyone could reply, the voice rang again, "You guys have 10 seconds to scatter, or everyone will be punished by the Enforcer Sector!"
