"Now that you have agreed to help me, I will allow Sue to stay with you to show my sincerity. You know
what to do next, right? But I have to remind you that you need to hurry up. As far as I know, the
Heavenly Demon Clan has found a way to enter the forbidden area of my clan. Therefore, you must
take out the spiritual treasure from the forbidden area of my clan before the Heavenly Demon Clan
could get their hands on it," Cherry reminded him with a small frown on her face.
"Tell me first why you want to take the spiritual treasure of your clan," Rocky asked firmly, staring at
Cherry coldly, as he waited for her to reply. His icy but steely gaze made it clear that he wouldn't take
silence for an answer.
"I will tell you when you manage to get it. The forbidden area of my clan is a mysterious place located
in the Demonic Sky Land, where the tribe of our clan once lived. However, the Demonic Sky Land
abounds with very powerful supernatural beasts. It's a dangerous place, even for someone of your
ability, so I will ask Kayla to accompany you to ensure that you can smoothly reach there. However,
after that, you will have to rely on yourself. Like the other places that seal the spiritual treasures, a
forbidden spell has been cast on the forbidden area, so the clans of the spiritual race can't enter it,"
Cherry added.
"You just said that the Heavenly Demon Clan was also looking for the spiritual treasure of your clan,
right?" Rocky asked, looking like he wanted to confirm something.
"Yes." Cherry nodded.
"Well, speaking of this, the Heavenly Demon Clan is very resourceful. Not long ago, they wanted to ally
with the Wood Clan, and now they have designs on the spiritual treasure of your clan..." As he
reiterated all he knew about the Heavenly Demon Clan, Rocky thought that they were not as simple as
he thought.
"The Heavenly Demon Clan was initially a secondary clan of the spiritual race, and they were not very
powerful. But in just a few hundred years, they suddenly rose and conquered many small clans. Now,
the Heavenly Demon Clan already has two spiritual treasures in their hands. If they can also get my
clan's spiritual treasure, the Dragon Master Clan, the Phoenix Master Clan, and the more advanced
clans like the Wood Clan would not be able to contend against them. That is the reason why I want you
to obtain the spiritual treasure of my clan. It is not only because of my selfish wish but for the good of
the majority," she answered sincerely.
Hearing that, Rocky could not help but get lost in his thought, his brows furrowing in displeasure. He
turned to Sue beside him and thought for a while. Then he said, "All right. I'll take Sue back with me
and prepare. If the Demonic Sky Land is as dangerous as you said, it should not be trifled with. I have
to gather people to go there with me."
"For the sake of your Holy Dragon Empire, you'd better not bring too many people with you. I suggest
you only bring those that you consider trustworthy and loyal. If other clans of the spiritual race find out
that you are helping me obtain my clan's spiritual treasure, it won't be good for the Holy Dragon
Empire!" Cherry reminded him, and then said to Kayla, "Go to the entrance of the Demon Sky Land first
and wait for them there."
Kayla nodded at her. Then she glanced at Rocky coquettishly and said, "I'll go and wait for you there."
After she finished speaking, she flapped her wings and flew away.
Meanwhile, Sue handed the Sky-peeping Pearl to Cherry and then followed Rocky back to the Crimson
City.
"The revival of my clan depends on him now," Cherry whispered to the wind, looking pensive, as she
watched his receding figure intently.
On the other side, Rocky had taken Sue back to the Crimson City. After they made some preparations,
they proceeded to the Imperial City.
Once they arrived in the Imperial City and entered the Palace City, they met Isis and the other women.
All of them were startled when they laid eyes on Sue.
"Sue, you... Aren't you already dead?" Isis was the most surprised because Rocky had told her that
Sue was dead. But now, Sue was in front of her alive and kicking!
"Greetings, Miss Isis!" Instead of answering, Sue greeted Isis and bowed respectfully.
"Don't be so courteous. You are no longer my maid but Basil's sister. So, just call me Isis," Isis
corrected her immediately.
"What is going on? Shouldn't you explain to us how this happened?" Sabina said while glancing at
Rocky.
But instead of answering, Rocky ignored all of them. He announced seriously, "I want everyone to get
ready. We'll be setting out for a long journey."
When they heard this, all the women were puzzled.
"Where are we going?" Isis asked.
"The Demonic Sky Land," Rocky answered shortly.
The women were stunned because they all knew that the Demonic Sky Land was once a region of the
spiritual race, which was also where the tribe of the Butterfly Divine Clan once lived. It held even more
dangers than the Dragon Wing Valley. They also found it strange that Rocky suddenly wanted to set
out for such a dangerous and far away land.
"Basil, why are you suddenly asking us to go there?" Isis asked immediately.
Rocky glanced at Sue and then told them the whole story.
"The Cherry that you mentioned is also the member of the spiritual race who saved us in the Myriad
Beasts Ground?" Sabina said as the realization dawned on her.
Rocky nodded.
"I didn't expect that she would come to Sue's rescue. But this Cherry used Sue to force you to get the
spiritual treasure of the Butterfly Divine Clan for her. She is a very cunning woman! Do you think she
has some other purpose for doing this?" Isis asked worriedly.
"I think she must have expected that Basil would agree to her requests because of Sue," Lucilla
commented with a frown.
"I think so too. Now that Sue is back, we can just ignore her," Lena suggested.
"Since I have already agreed, I refuse to go back on my words. Besides, I owe her a lot of favors, so I
decided that I should go." Even though the women were trying to convince him otherwise, Rocky had
already made up his mind.
"But the Demonic Sky Land is very dangerous. Shouldn't we bring more people with us?" Isis advised.
"There's no need for that. Consider this mission as top-secret. We can't let others know that we have
something to do with the Butterfly Divine Clan, especially the other clans of the spiritual race.
Considering the current situation of our Holy Dragon Empire, I don't think we should make more
enemies. After all, the Butterfly Divine Clan has already been exterminated. If the other clans find out
that the descendants of the Butterfly Divine Clan want to take out their spiritual treasure, we might
suffer some repercussions. That is why we need to do get the spiritual treasure without exposing our
identities," Rocky lengthily explained. For the sake of the Holy Dragon Empire's overall situation, he
couldn't bring too many people with him this time. Therefore, only he and the several women in front of
him would work together to complete this mission.
"I want to go with you this time," Lena volunteered eagerly. Every time she heard about the stories from
the other women about how they had been through life and death with Rocky together, she felt envious.
She also wanted to have the same experiences with Rocky. However, it was almost impossible to
realize such a dream because of her identity.
At first, Rocky didn't want Lena to go with them since they were going to a perilous place. But
considering that they didn't have enough people on their side, he thought it would be prudent to take
Lena with him anyway.
"We'll set off immediately once everyone is ready. Go and prepare now," Rocky instructed the women
sternly.
Once they completed all their preparations, Rocky and the women immediately left the Imperial City
and headed for the Demonic Sky Land.
