"What in the world is going on? There's some kind of invisible wall blocking my way?" A demon exclaimed in bewilderment.

"Not only you, but others also obstruct from going into the main street. Do you think the Puppeteer Demon Clan is behind this blockade?"

"My guess is as good as yours. I just wanted to buy a runic sword for my son from Puppeteer Demon Company, but it seemed they are also got close like the other shops in the inner market as well."

"Just what the fuck is going on today with the inner market of Black River City? The outer market is still open and running like usual."

Many demons were discussing this strange event, and even city guards were clueless about what was happening.

Typically, the inner market guarding duties were handled by the Black Knights of Black River City under the Puppeteer Demon Clan. So, those normal city guards didn't have any authority over this place.

However, those Black Knights also went missing with this mysterious barrier appearance.

"Make way quickly. The Puppeteer Demon Clan's Second Elder is coming!"

Someone proclaimed loudly and everyone quickly scattered around with a hint of fear when they heard the Puppeteer Demon Clan was here!

Thereupon, a small carriage appeared, surrounded by many demons clad in black armor.

The carriage stopped a few meters away from the main street. and its door opened.

A dark-gray skin demon disembarked the carriage with a frown on his elderly face.

Without anyone telling him about anything, he hurried toward the main street as if he knew about the mysterious restriction.

A burly demon respectfully followed him behind.

"Do you find out why the inner market shops are close all of a sudden?" The Second Elder questioned sharply.

The burly demon replied with uncertainty, "I had my men look into this, but all the shops are locked. and we can't break in without authorization. But according to the witnesses, those shops closed one by one and those customers who got in also mysteriously vanished, nor did anyone notice any staff members coming out."

The Second Elder's expression dimmed.

They had received reports about inner market shops closing 10 hours ago, and they simply thought it wasn't a big case. Those owners can close or open their shops whenever they wanted.

However, as the dawn was about to break, only the closed shops didn't show any signs of opening again, but the entire inner market was now deserted.

Moreover, when they heard the report that the main street had somehow become inaccessible half an hour ago.

The Puppeteer Demon Clan was finally alarmed and sent their Second Elder to investigate and find out who was messing with them in their territory.

They even locked the entire city until they reached the root of these strange events.

"Knock down the doors of some low-level shops. I'll handle the aftermath." The Second Elder ordered without any hesitation, as he was feeling uneasy about all of this.

The burly demon also knows the gravity of this situation and quickly leaves to commence the order while Second Elder moved toward that invisible barrier.

Fifty meters away from the crowd, three capped figures were standing on a rooftop while observing the Second Elder and other demons moving.

"It seemed your plan works." Freya's crisp voice sounded.

Winter chuckled coldly as she said with a hint of smugness, "Why, of course, it worked. They're just a bunch of incompetent fools thinking they controlled everything with just merger power. But when push comes to shove, they're the ones who panic with just a little firework."

Freya chuckled, "Agreed. Since they took the bait, let's motivate them. We have little time. Sister Assassin." She looked at Noa.

Noa merely nodded before a dark Qi flashed past her eyes and the very next moment.

"Boom… boom… boom…!"

Ten explosions sounded on the main street!

The Second Elder's face turned ashen when he heard those explosions. "Someone is attacking the main streets!"

Without any hesitation, he took out a ten-meter-tall humanoid figure from his storage space. It was a stone puppet!

Dark Qi strings suddenly shot from Second Elder's fingers, and they all connected with the limbs of this stone puppet. He started to move his fingers extremely fast, and the stone puppet's empty eyes suddenly lit up in dark light as he started to move.

It threw the punch toward the barrier, resulting in a tremendous blast.

Second Elder's face paled when he saw the barrier was still not damaged, and he knew it was at least a grade-4 barrier since his high-grade-3 stone puppet can't put any crack on it.

Their patriarch with grand elder and youths were gone in the auction, and they weren't at their full strength at this moment. He finally understood this was an organized attack on their firms, and if they didn't handle it seriously, they might suffer this time.

Freya's eyes shimmered when she saw that huge stone puppet. "Interesting technique. I got dibs on it, alright."

Winter didn't retort and merely chuckled, "If you're interested in puppetry, you should come to my place. That thing is powerful, but it can't hold a candle to a mature corpse puppet."

"I thought you won't ask." Freya agreed in a heartbeat. She was very interested in puppetry and controlling others. Especially after cultivating the Evil Thief Scripture, her grit has increased even more.

Noa coldly said at this moment, "Let's go. He's contacting the others. Let's get it over with and leave before they find out about the real motive."

She wasn't interested in controlling others, and she was only interested in killing techniques.

Freya and Winter agreed, and they all turned into blurs before they vanished in the direction of the Puppeteer Demon Magistrate Estate!

The Magistrate Estate was at the very center of Black River City, and there were gigantic walls surrounding it and powerful demons guarding the gates.

However, the usual tranquil Magistrate Estate Gate was bristling with activities now, as many carriages and knights were exiting and marching toward the main market in a hurry.

Furthermore, two elderly demons exited the gates while riding on wooden mounts, and they hurried toward the market at full speed with grave expressions on their faces.

After fifteen minutes they leave the gates. Three shadows snuck inside the estate without any interruption.

Security was almost none exist.

With great familiarity, they moved toward the castle-like mansion.

However, their footsteps come to a halt when they saw a green barrier surrounding the entire mansion.

"So, they're not complete idiots after all." Winter sneered disdainfully.

Freya also didn't seem too worried about that barrier as she took out a golden formation plate with white symbols. "But they still underestimated us." She giggled darkly before she activated the formation plate.

Suddenly, a ten-meter golden circle surrounded the tree.

There were white symbols giving off a sharp aura, and there were twelve empty circles could be seen between these symbols.

"Put a hundred thousand Qi stones in each activation circle. If the leader didn't have peak-grade-3 Qi stones, I'm afraid this formation was completely useless." Freya spoke with great admiration in her eyes as she looked at the Demonic Sword Killing Formation!

Noa knew what to do, and she quickly placed 1,200,000 peak grade-3 Qi stones into those activation circles.

The very next moment thereafter, all the Qi stones piles suddenly turned lit up before the golden circle around them started to expand at an alarming rate.

As it expanded, those Qi stones started to turn into dusk.

Freya carefully controlled the formation, and she only stopped the expansion when it covered the entire mansion and the barrier.

"Who are you, and what are you doing?! You dare to attack a magistrate clan?!" An aged voice reverberated in the area, filled with fury and killing intent.

Freya coldly replied with a hint of mockery, "I can't hear you with that turtle shell. Let me get rid of it so we can hear you clearly."

As her voice trailed off, the entire golden circle suddenly shimmered before thousands of golden swords manifested.

"Y-you… stop this at once! What do you want?" The old voice was filled with panic this time.

However, Freya pretend as if she didn't hear it and used the formation plate, and those golden swords turned into sword lights and rained toward that barrier!

"Noooo…" An anguished howl rang when the entire barrier crumbled under the bombardment of those sword lights.

However, Freya didn't stop, and with a thrilled expression, she continued to rain the entire mansion with those swords lights until it turned to ruin. She finally stopped.

Injured demons started to crawl out from the rubble, and between them was an old demon with bloodshot eyes as he looked at the three capped figures standing.

Freya didn't mind his murderous look as she mocked, "Now I can see you clearly. Alright, I'll tell you what we want."

Her voice was icy as she said, "We are the Moon Robbers, and this is a robbery. So, if you don't want your entire clan to extinct today, hand over your storage rings and open the treasury vault!"
