Eternal Thief

Chapter 1218: Importance of Human Bloodlines! (2)

 Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After mulling it over, Vincent said, "Since you are being honest with me, I won't hide it from you. You should never expose your human bloodline to any human or other races under any circumstances, or even if you have your means, you will never know peace. You will be hunted down by people far more terrifying than you can imagine.

"This is especially the case for foreign races who have hostile relationships with us humans. Because a human bloodline only forms after one breaks past the Law State, meaning it represents a lineage above the Ascension Realm, I don't need to tell you what the others would do once they discovered you have a bloodline.

"This is especially true for the Two King Sects of the Human Race. They are the only ones with humans with bloodline, and they are extremely secretive about it as they never let their bloodline secret spread. All we know is that they can become the King Sect because of their human bloodline.

"So, you can only imagine how they would react if they found out another foreign human bloodline had appeared outside their control that could threaten their millions of years of rule over Humans and resources.

"I won't tell you more since this matter is still way out of your league. Even I only know too little about the King Sects of the Human Race since they seldom bother with existences like us, much less about the other races' King Sects!

"If you really don't belong to the King Sect lineage, then it would be better for you to stay out of their way until you have the power to protect yourself." Vincent's expression was solemn as he warned!

Ace was shocked. He never expected to learn something like this today, especially about the king sects.

Although Vincent didn't reveal much, he still hinted at many things and the importance of his human bloodline. He even warned him earnestly despite Vincent knowing he was not George. Ace knew his initial bloodlines were all extremely powerful, and their origin should be mighty since all those Sages shamelessly moved against an infant. Moreover, he knew his current bloodline, the Nirvana Thief, should be even more powerful because it wasn't bound by limitations.

Now Ace could guess why Vincent was protective of him. It might be because he wanted him to grow loyal to the sect and bring the AIG sect to new heights.

After all, he just told him that the bloodline was the reason for the King Sect to unravel, and if Ace felt he belonged to the sect and was grateful to Vincent for protecting him when he was weak, he could make the AIG sect a King Sect.

But this matter was still too huge, and there were still many things Vincent didn't make clear, nor did Ace have any intention of asking them since he had no intention to follow Vincent's plans if he had any regarding the sect's rise.

After all, even if the AIG sect had a human bloodline, they needed power to protect it and go against those King Sects.

"Thank you for telling me this, my lord. I'll be careful!" Ace thanked him since this matter seemed like a huge secret among the second-grade sects.

"No need to thank me. After all, you seemed like a careful person, and if your bloodline is recently awakened, I can understand why you made such a mistake." Vincent chuckled, "Just be careful about drawing your bloodline in the future. It would still be fine if the color of your blood were the same, but it seemed your bloodline was powerful enough to change the nature of your blood. It would be best if you learned some illusion law spells that can hide the color of your blood. But it needed to be high enough rank, at least Domain Grade, to fool someone like me. Pity I don't have any."

Ace took a quick mental note of this, and he might not even need it as long as his mask raised in its grades; he might be able to hide his blood with it.

Since this matter was done, Vincent no longer dwelled on it. He felt that Ace was starting to trust him since he didn't seem to be bothered by knowing that he had discovered his secret, or Ace was simply too confident to protect himself. Whatever the case was, Vincent didn't want to test it since, in any case, it would sore the little relationship that they had developed, and he might lose George altogether.

"Alright, since we now have little understanding between us, I can entrust you with this mission." Vincent finally reveals his true intentions, "As you might've already guessed, the Four Clans didn't see eye to eye with each other, and instead of developing the sect, they scheme against each other, which is harming the sect and eating it away.

"Even a Sect Master like me can't do anything without proper reason and proof, for they are very discreet about it and never leave any evidence behind. Furthermore, the four clans are evenly matched, and they won't take excessive actions because they are afraid of each other's retaliation and becoming weak, creating an opening for the others to reap benefits.

"Normally, when a Sect Master appeared among a clan, that clan will gain an edge over the others since all the previous Sect Masters were loyal to their clan, but even that wasn't enough to significantly weaken the other three clans because, at that time, the Grand Elders belonged to those clans become active to make sure their clans won't deter too much.

"However, I'm different. I never supported the Weston clan; instead, I became impartial, which made the Grand Elder of the Weston clan, my Grandfather, unhappy while it was good news for the other three grand elders and their respective clans.

"If I hadn't gained the acknowledgment of the Sect's guardian spirit, I would've been replaced long ago. Don't think for a second that since I became impartial the other three clans would let me be, in fact, the Grand Elders have their own schemes and my impartiality didn't go well with those schemes.

"I'm still here because they are afraid of the Sect Guardian Spirit and could do nothing but play by the sect rules. But it is still not enough because the Guardian Spirit is bound by the sect rules set by the Founder, and if they made a grave mistake, I would never be able to do anything to them.

"Nonetheless, this still through a wrench in their plans, and all the clans have no choice but to be wary, and that's why, under my rule, many things that should've happened never come to be because they are all afraid that I'll move against them!" Vincent's eyes were deadly cold as he revealed his difficulties and the truth behind the weakening AIG sect.

But Ace was shocked because he didn't know why Vincent was revealing all this to him. Did he trust him so much? Ace didn't think like that at all because he had only been in the sect for a month, yet the Sect Master was now revealing all this to him, which made him even more vigilant and wary about this 'mission'.

Vincent didn't seem bothered by George's lack of response as he continued, "If you're wondering why I'm telling you all this, it's because you are an anomaly that could truly change everything, especially the Norberg clan's plan to replace me with Nathaniel.

"They have been planning this for many years ever since he was born with the Dual Runic Talent, and according to the sect rules, as long as I clear a trial, he'll become the Junior/Vise

Sect Master.

"All this time, they were waiting for him to grow and break into the Ascension Grandmaster Realm to secure this position. Once that happened, I'm pretty sure they will try to assassinate me, and at that, Nathaniel would become the legitimate Sect Master, and I'm afraid all the Grand Elders are involved in this as well."

Ace felt a chill running down his spine when he heard this massive secret, and he couldn't help but look at Vincent again. Vincent seemed calm as he talked about the assassination. Although he knew the AIG sect was ruled by the four clans, he never expected them to go this far to assassinate their own sect master, a pillar of their sect, just because they were wary of

him.

Ace suddenly felt like he had involved himself in a huge power vortex because he knew what Vincent was implying by saying he was an anomaly. He was hinting that he had unknowingly made the Grand Elders uneasy after he showed the talent of Nathaniel, and he also had the potential to completely destroy their plans, especially after he caused that misunderstanding about being Vincent's disciple!

This means that his life was in danger more than Vincent's since he was still only an Ascension Soldier. Furthermore, by telling him all this, Vincent cut off any path of retreat and pulled him

on the boat.

Now, Ace finally understood why this guy was so candid about everything and revealed all this

information.

Vincent suddenly pulled an ambiguous smile and said, "Since you got my meaning, I don't need to tell you the importance of this matter anymore. Now, what you need to do is...!"
