Chapter 1739: The Fall of the Hidden Agent Chapter 1739: The Fall of the Hidden Agent Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Later on, as the five lords and the others became more and more formidable, such a person would remain in seclusion until the five lords fell and the upper echelons of the race returned.

Colton Jansky yawned.  “It’s this trash.

Back then, his family was one of the top slave owners in the starry sky.

I killed more than 30,000 people from his family.

I spared him because his peak cultivation still had some value.” “I heard that they have half an eon artifact!” Atreus Burnett said, revealing that he had paid a great price to obtain this information.

As soon as he mentioned it, Braydon Neal couldn’t ignore it.  Even half an eon artifact was extremely dangerous for everyone.  Eon artifacts could sever soul imprints.  If the soul imprint was destroyed, it would truly dissipate into the world.  These guys were targeting the Northern Army sons.

“I rushed over as soon as I received the news!” Atreus said.

“Has the news been confirmed?” Luther Carden appeared with a chilling expression.

“Yes,” Atreus confirmed with a nod.

“I personally received the news from a hidden agent in the demon race.” “Half an eon artifact from the demon race?” Frediano Jadanza appeared.

The black-robed ancestor’s collusion with the demons was as severe as betraying the race.  The demons were mortal enemies!  Within the race, anyone who dared to collude with them, for any reason, would be killed without mercy.  Even peak experts were not exempted!

Luther lowered his head in thought.

Suddenly, he was shocked.

“Hmm?” While Atreus was puzzled, he sensed a powerful aura approaching rapidly.  Planet 003 was guarded by experts, and the guardian was none other than Elder Levine, a pinnacle expert.  Elder Levine was secretly furious.

“Planet 003 is a forbidden planet.

Without the chiefs’ orders, anyone who trespasses will be killed!” “Elder Levine, please show mercy!” Atreus’s words were like thunder as he urgently tried to dissuade him.  “Let him in!” Luther commanded.

A figure shrouded in black shadows stormed into Planet 003.  He was from the Cosmos Bank’s headquarters and Atreus’s right-hand man.  His identity was shrouded in mystery, specializing in handling the Cosmos Bank’s secret matters.  His arrival cast a shadow over Atreus’s mood.

“Jameson, what’s wrong?” Atreus asked.

“Zachary is dead!” the black figure reported in a low voice.

“How is this possible?” Atreus’s fists clenched tightly, and his eyes turned red.  Noticing Braydon and the others nearby, he explained, “Zachary was the hidden agent who sent the message.

He’s a half-demon and isn’t well-regarded by either race.

“He lost his parents early.

He was just four years old when he began wandering around the outskirts of the headquarters.

I took him in, named him Zachary Burnett, and raised him as my own, teaching him cultivation techniques.

“Zachary was very studious and sensible, showing immense talent.

At thirteen, he overheard me and Jameson discussing sending hidden agents to the demons.

He left a letter in my room and vanished without a word, saying he wanted to do something for me.” At this point, Atreus covered his face, tears streaming from his eyes.  He had no children of his own, and he had raised this little half-demon as if he were his own.

The loss was a blow he hadn’t fully prepared for.  “I came to tell you face to face after the soul lamp went out!” the black figure said.  The extinguishing of the soul lamp indicated that the soul had dissipated.

Atreus’s voice was hoarse as he said, “Zachary entered the demon region at thirteen.

Despite his half-demon body, he fought fiercely against those beasts.

He isolated himself from everything related to me, living like a wild beast.

He wandered the demon region for ten years, and after becoming an eternal, he was taken in by the young patriarch of the one-horned flood dragons as a follower.

“However, Zachary possesses the ancestral dragon’s bloodline.

As his bloodline and cultivation recovered, no minor flood dragon tribe could restrain him.

He used his connection with the one-horned flood dragon tribe to rise to greatness.

“With his half-demon body, he fought hard for his place in the demon race and eventually took charge of the ten demon regions.

Now, he’s a renowned expert within the demon race and often has access to its top secrets.”  Atreus shared all this information about the half-demon.

Luther shook his head.

“An eon artifact is a steep price to pay just to have peak experts of the human race killed.

How confidential is that?

If the half-demons knew about it, it would be suspicious if they didn’t pass the news along.” The demons were known for their cunning and treachery.  Not only would they use this information to identify human spies hidden among their ranks, but they might also involve the black-robed ancestor and other top figures in betraying the human race.  For the demons, seeing the top human experts fall and causing internal strife among humans was advantageous.

If Luther’s suspicion was correct, there was something suspicious about that half of the eon artifact.

Braydon frowned slightly.

“Has the news of Zachary’s death in the demon region been confirmed?” “The soul lamp is extinguished!” the black-clad man replied.

Braydon shook his head.

“There are many forbidden techniques in the universe that can sever the soul connection, and numerous path artifacts that can do the same.” “Are you suggesting that Zachary might still be alive?” Luther asked after a moment of thought.

Atreus was stunned as he listened to the conversation.  Was Zachary dead or alive?

Braydon looked at him calmly and said, “You received the news regarding Zachary and came to find us immediately.

However, many peak powerhouses of the human race are unaware of your motives, let alone the demon race.

“Besides you, no one else knows about the black-robed ancestor!” Luther’s eyes lit up with realization.

He said decisively, “The demon race must have used a secret technique to sever all connections between Zachary and the outside world, including the soul connection.

The soul lamp’s only drawback is that it will extinguish if it loses contact with the soul.” “This also means that if we confront the black-robed ancestor now, Zachary will die even if he hasn’t already!” Frediano confirmed this with a nod.  Everyone understood the gravity of the situation.

“Are you saying that Zachary is still alive?” Atreus asked with a surge of hope.

“He’s likely still alive, but if you confront the black-robed ancestor, he’ll definitely die!” Braydon said calmly.  He had already considered other countermeasures.  Turning to Lazlo Abbott, who had returned empty-handed, he asked, “Have you gathered all the resources?” “The resources needed for tens of millions of people are not a small amount.

While the human race has the foundation to gather them, someone has been holding things up!” “It’s not a big deal to provide resources for 10,000 to 20,000 people,” Lazlo explained.

“However, for tens of millions, the items are much more precious.

If we want them for free, they won’t just hand them over.” The human race was a superpower with its own set of rules.  Everyone had to follow these rules.  Even the eight lineage chiefs couldn’t distribute resources on a whim.  This was because the treasures in the race’s treasury were accumulated by ancestors over generations.

Many rare items could stir up significant conflict when they surfaced, attracting interference from demons and other races.  Everyone coveted these precious items.
