"Guards in here at once!" Alston then immediately waved his hand.
Soon, several ordinary spiritual beings came into the hall.
"Send him to the Asura Cave at once and keep a close eye on him..." Alston strictly ordered them.
With that, the ordinary spiritual beings immediately took Rocky away.
Then, Rocky was thrown and got locked in the Asura Cave.
The Asura Cave was the prison of the Heavenly Demon Clan. Just like the Dead Valley of the Dragon
Master Clan, once anyone was locked in, it would be difficult for them to get out because of its
enchanted barrier. Of course, the enchanted barrier was as thin as a piece of paper for Rocky. He
could absolutely break through it if he wanted. However, he worried about the safety of Marcia. It was
clear to him that she would be tortured or even killed once he did anything suspicious. He knew how
despicable Alston was, but he would not just sit still and wait for death. He had to come up with a
solution as soon as possible.
The cave was not big and could only accommodate one person. Rocky then sat cross-legged in the
cave and closed his eyes to rest. While he was resting, he was thinking about his possible
countermeasures. He was also worried that Sabina and the others would come to save him, so he had
to try to save Marcia first.
"Boy, you must be a human! Why did they even catch you?" At that moment, Rocky only felt an old
voice ringing in his ears. But there was no one in the cave, so the voice he just heard was naturally
strange.
"What? Who is there?" Rocky asked with a frown on his face. He was confused at what was
happening.
"I asked you first, so you should answer me first," the old voice domineeringly said.
"It's a long story." Of course, Rocky didn't want to disclose any information especially since he didn't
know who was talking to him.
"Let me guess; did you get caught because you wanted to steal the Heavenly Demon Clan's
treasures?" the old voice tentatively asked.
"Huh? What treasures are you talking about?" Rocky asked as he raised his eyebrows.
"So, it's not that reason then," the old voice replied.
"You must also be a human being, right? Since you can send telepathic messages to me secretly, it
only means that your strength has reached above the Immortal Stage." Rocky sensed the strong aura
coming from the stone wall of the cave.
"Boy, you have good judgment indeed," the old voice boldly laughed.
"So, how come you're locked up here, given your strength?" Rocky straightforwardly asked.
"Who said that I am locked up here? The Asura Cave is nothing to me!" the old voice said disdainfully.
"It's nothing to you? So, why are you still here then?" Rocky asked the old voice further. He was
curious about the old man's story and identity.
"I'm still here because I haven't stolen their treasures yet. So, I chose not to leave..." The old voice was
obviously full of hatred.
"So, you are here to steal the treasure. But they already knew why you're here. Why didn't they just kill
you to avoid possible trouble in the future?" Rocky asked the old voice again.
"Although I didn't get the treasure that I wanted, I stole another thing. It's very precious, so even their
patriarch—Townsend can't do anything to hurt me. But he hasn't come to ask me for that thing for quite
a long time now," the old voice proudly replied.
"Townsend is already dead. That's why he couldn't come to you anymore," Rocky coldly informed the
old voice.
"What? Really? He's dead? How is that even possible? His strength made him almost invincible." The
old man was greatly surprised when he heard this news.
"Perhaps it's his retribution." Rocky snorted and then asked, "But what exactly did you steal? Why did
Townsend care so much about it that he'd put the extra effort to constantly ask you for it?"
"Since we are so congenial to each other and both of us are humans, it doesn't matter if I tell you. I
stole a slate. Engraved on it was half of a map that led to a mysterious place. This mysterious place
used to have a stronger race than the spiritual race, and this secret has always been hidden by the
spiritual race. They're afraid that once the humans know this secret, they will find a way to go to the
mysterious place to get the forbidden power buried there!" the old voice said mysteriously.
"The forbidden power? Huh. The mysterious place... I didn't expect that you know so many secrets
about the spiritual race, sir." Rocky was very calm when he heard that information. He guessed that the
mysterious place the old voice referred to might be the Spirit Annihilation Land where a powerful
ancient race had once existed.
"Boy, it seems to me that you know these secrets too. How is that even possible? I don't think any other
human knows about it except me." The old voice sounded incredulous at this realization.
"I know so much more than you do." Rocky playfully smiled.
"Huh, I really don't believe it," the old voice said, like that old naughty boy Peter Pan.
"Then the treasure you are going to steal must have something to do with that mysterious place!"
Rocky excitedly guessed.
"The treasure I'm going to steal is actually a forbidden item from that mysterious place. It has
tremendous power, and was originally owned by the Butterfly Divine Clan that had been exterminated
five hundred years ago. I planned to find the other half of the map after stealing this forbidden item, and
then go to that mysterious place to find the peak level power. However, as you can see now, that wish
is still just a wish..." The old voice laughed wildly. It seemed like he was getting crazier by the minute.
"It seems that you are really stubborn, sir. I didn't expect that the Heavenly Demon Clan also has some
forbidden item, and that it belonged to the Butterfly Divine Clan before..." Rocky said with a cold face. If
it was true, then the matter at hand seemed to become more complicated than it already was.
"More than thirty years ago, my cultivation reached a bottleneck and I have been desperately looking
for a way to break through. Then, I accidentally knew that there is a treasure in the Heavenly Demon
Clan that could help humans break through their power limits. So, I sneaked into their place to steal it.
But I didn't expect that I only stole half of the map. After that, I was caught by Townsend and several
spiritual master elders jointly. That's why I ended up here. In the past thirty years, I have been
concentrating on cultivating and waiting for the right opportunity..." The old voice sounded extremely
resigned, and then he continued, "If I can get this forbidden item, even the spiritual race will be afraid of
me. Ha-ha..."
"The Heavenly Demon Clan beings are not idiots. How could they even let you steal the forbidden item
so easily! Besides, the place where the forbidden item is hidden must be very secret." Rocky shook his
head to clear his thoughts.
"You're right. Didn't you say that Townsend is already dead? Only he and a couple of elders know that
this item exists, but only he knew where it is actually hidden. Since Townsend is dead, no one knows its
whereabouts. Townsend's death may be the opportunity that I've been waiting for. Perhaps it's finally
time to take action..." The old voice sounded a little hesitant.
