"Oh, I see. It seems that your father had truly done his best for the Snow Master Clan. How admirable.
For the future of the clan, he would rather die than tell anyone about the legendary guardian beast,"
Rocky remarked in a reverent voice, for he genuinely admired Cyrus's heroic traits.
"However, my father didn't expect that you are also a bad guy! You probably guessed that he gave the
legendary guardian beast to me, and pretended to be my savior so that I would leave with you! You
deceived me!" Harriet burst out indignantly, glaring hard at Rocky.
"Don't worry. I won't do anything terrible to you! Even though I'm not a good person, I'm not evil either.
You are fortunate that it was me you have met. If the Heavenly Demon Clan found out that you own the
legendary guardian beast, it will be not a good thing for you. Besides, no matter for the consideration of
your father or the whole Snow Master Clan, You have to go with me because I am the only one who
can protect you," Rocky insisted with a grave expression on his face.
"Why should I believe you?" Harriet still couldn't believe Rocky's words. No, it was not that she could
not, but she refused to be played by him!
"You don't have to believe me right now, and I don't need you to believe me either. If you don't want to
go with me, I have my means to take you away. That will be easy for me to do if you prefer that," he
added with an evil smile.
The reason why he insisted on taking Harriet away was not only because of Cyrus' will, but it was also
because he wanted to make sure that her legendary guardian beast would not fall into the hands of the
Heavenly Demon Clan. Beyond that, he didn't really care how much Harriet hated him or didn't believe
him.
Hearing Rocky's words, Harriet pursed her lips, but she knew that she was no match for Rocky
regarding the strength. If Rocky wanted to take her away forcibly, she could only sit still and wait.
Rocky's smile turned smug when she didn't say anything else, knowing that he had already won. And
after that, their journey became peaceful and silent all the way.
After a day's journey to the end of the Snow Cemetery Plain, Rocky called out Ken and took Harriet
back to the Holy Dragon Empire.
Once he arrived at the Holy Dragon Empire, Rocky went back to the Crimson City and planned to settle
Harriet down first.
The three women, including Sabina, had already completed the task he had assigned a few days ago
and were back in the Crimson City.
The women had all been waiting for Rocky, and they couldn't stop themselves from asking questions
when they saw that he had brought a female spiritual race being with him. After listening to his
explanation, they found out that Rocky had saved Harriet by accident. They were also very surprised
that this female spiritual race being owned the legendary guardian beast of the Snow Master Clan.
Since Rocky had to go to the Holy Dragon Empire and hand over the colored pearl to the emperor, he
asked Isis and other women to help him take care of Harriet, while he went to the Imperial City.
He traveled without stopping and soon arrived at the Palace City. Once there, he went straight to the
imperial palace to meet the emperor and handed him the box containing the colored pearl.
"Oh, have you found it already? Good job!" The emperor was also very excited because, with this one
pearl, only two more remained to be found among the nine colored pearls. Once the nine pearls were
gathered, they could find the holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan.
"Father, you have mentioned before that the remaining two colored pearls might have fallen into the
hands of other empires. If that's the case, then we might have to find a way to negotiate with them,"
Rocky said after he thought for a while. In fact, he was quite sure that one of them might be in the
hands of the Roaring Flame Empire.
"Well, that's all we can do. My body is getting worse and worse, so the task to collect the nine colored
pearls—" The emperor paused mid-sentence to cough and clear his throat. It seemed that the state of
his body was, indeed, deteriorating. He continued, "—and find the holy treasure of the Dragon Master
Clan would fall on your shoulders." "Father, just take your time to recuperate. Rest assured that I will
handle the rest,"
Rocky immediately answered. His brows were knitted with worry as he saw the evidence of his father's
poor health. Anyway, he also planned to find the holy treasure and use the clues hidden behind it to
solve the death mystery of myriad spiritual race beings. If he could solve that mystery, he could
discover more astonishing secrets that the spiritual race of the Wild Spirit Land had hidden and dared
not to let humans know.
Of course, what bothered Rocky the most was the mystery of the twelve statues in the Heavenly God
Temple. Why did Divine King Belial, and Ice Queen he met in the mysterious place of the Snow
Cemetery Plain look like two of the twelve statues? What kind of secrets and connections were hidden
in those twelve statues? He needed to solve all of these puzzles.
Perhaps after solving these secrets, Rocky could find a way to save humans from the spiritual race.
On the second day, Rocky returned to the Crimson City. As soon as he returned, he was met by a rare
visitor. Although he had just met her not long ago, it was the first time that she had taken the initiative to
come to his city to see him.
This rare visitor was Cherry.
"Is there anything important?" Rocky asked Cherry straightforwardly, gazing at the striking figure she
cut in front of him. She would not come here if she didn't have anything important to tell him.
"Remember when I told you about the ninth spiritual treasure? I heard that its whereabouts had been
confirmed. I came here in the hopes that you can stop its reappearance," Cherry said seriously.
Hearing this, Rocky immediately fell silent. If the ninth spiritual treasure was indeed released, as what
Cherry had said, it could also bring the nine sealed powerful calamity beasts back to life. If that
happened, the situation would only grow more and more troublesome.
"Although I don't think I have the right to ask you to do anything, you have to do it for the sake of the
Wild Spirit Land and the fate of humans..." she continued, looking at Rocky with pleading eyes. "It
seems that I have no reason to refuse. Although I don't want to be a hero, and even if the legend of the
calamity beasts is fake, I have to do as you ask.
I can't let the ninth spiritual treasure fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Clan, or they will
become more unscrupulous. No matter what the reason is, the ninth spiritual treasure can't appear
again..." Rocky said after thinking for a while.
"I will help you this time!" Cherry added with an enthusiastic smile on her face.
"But why is the whereabouts of the last spiritual treasure not confirmed until now?" Rocky asked.
"Because the place where it is sealed is buried in the sea, about a thousand meters deep. Not to
mention humans, or even an ordinary spiritual race being, can't reach such depths," she explained
readily. "If it's so difficult to reach, how did a being from the spiritual race seal the spiritual treasure in
that place?"
Rocky asked curiously. "The spiritual race clan in charge of the ninth spiritual treasure is a clan that is
now completely extinct in the Wild Spirit Land.
It was once one of the nine great spiritual race clans—the Water Master Clan. They lived on the sea
and used to be an influential clan, but they were gravely injured due to the massive changes happening
to the sea. They found it difficult to adjust and deal with these changes, and soon, most of their clan
members had been seriously injured or had died. Since then, their line could not fully recover, until they
finally disappeared, never to be heard from again in the Wild Spirit Land. It was said that the ninth
spiritual treasure is actually sealed in the ruins of the Water Master Clan. However, because of the
huge changes at that time, the ruins of the clan have been buried in the deep sea. Only the tide every
one hundred years will be able to float the ruins back to the sea surface, but it only lasts for a very short
time. The tide will return in half a month, so that is the only chance to retrieve the ninth spiritual
treasure. If we can successfully stop them from taking it, the spiritual race clans have to wait at least a
hundred years to try and get the ninth spiritual treasure again..." Cherry continued.
