After Ace robbed more than ten shops belonging to powerful first-grade sects, he finally felt satisfied and moved towards the main target after causing enough distraction.
The thefts in the market go way easier than Ace had thought they would because, with a soul probe, he quickly found the people who held the keys to those treasuries. With his absolute pickpocket, he can directly pickpocket a specific treasure from someone as long as he knows what it looks like and if that person has it.
Once he got those keys, all he needed to do was to use the Dismantle Spirit Qi and stealth to sneak into the treasuries and inventories of those shops. The combination of Dismantle Spirit Qi and stealth was really terrifying since no formation could detect him as long as he didn't make a mistake or trigger something because of his own stupidity.
