With a cold smile in his eyes, Rocky said, "Perhaps, I can help you with that, sir."
"You must be kidding me. You? Let's face it. Based on your aura, you look like you can only deal with
an ordinary spiritual master at most," the old voice replied, rejecting his offer. Actually, Rocky had
suppressed his aura at that time. Otherwise, the old man would not have said those words.
"The Heavenly Demon Clan has a lot of members. I know that getting rid of those beings will be difficult
for you, especially if you need more time to find the forbidden item hidden in their place. Regardless,
I'm willing to help you. I can distract them while you find the forbidden item. It can surely buy you some
time," Rocky suggested gently.
"That sounds good to me! I am not threatened by those Heavenly Demon Clan beings. But to be
honest, they irritate me a lot. I'll take all the help I can get. I think that's a great plan to buy me more
time." In that instant, the old voice seemed to be considering Rocky's proposal.
"So, do you agree with the plan, sir?" Rocky inquired.
"Boy, you must have some requirements for your help, right?" the old voice asked keenly.
"Yes, I do. Before you leave the Asura Cave, I hope you can save someone for me." Rocky did not
think twice as he went straight to the point of his agenda.
"So, does this involve a woman?" The old voice seemed to have made an accurate guess.
"Yes, it sure does," Rocky said truthfully.
"It's not something new. Since ancient times, every hero fails to pull through the beauty pass and they
find it difficult to give up or leave the beauty they love. Being young and arrogant is not always a bad
thing. In fact, this is the time for you to do what you can and what you want. In a nutshell, I appreciate
the courage that burns in you. I bet that the human being locked up here must not be ordinary!" The old
voice sounded like he was someone who had experienced a lot in his lifetime.
"So, do you agree with that, too, sir?" Rocky continued.
"Now tell me, where is she locked up?" the old voice asked straightforwardly.
"The thing is, I don't know where she is. But as soon as I go out, there will definitely be a lot of noise.
By that time, you should already know her location. She is very important to me. I hope you can save
her and keep her safe and sound. After you save her, please ask her to leave right away. I'll do my best
to buy you as much time as I can," Rocky pleaded. From the start, he had an inkling that this old voice
belonged to a powerful person. Moreover, he thought that if the old man could help him save Marcia,
then he would have no reservations when it came to dealing with Alston and the rest of the Heavenly
Demon Clan.
"Okay, I understand. Let's move right after dark!" the old man replied hastily as if he couldn't wait any
longer.
Soon, night fell, and the red moon hung over the sky of the Heavenly Demon Clan territory, looking a
little bit bizarre than usual.
As Rocky closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a strong aura coming from the cave that he was staying in.
Immediately, he opened his eyes and saw a figure appearing in front of him from out of the blue.
"Wait, are you the one I was talking to?" Upon taking a closer look at the figure in front of him, Rocky
found the person to be way younger than how his voice sounded. In fact, this man looked like he was
about fifty years old. He had a strapping build, with scruffy beard all over his face. However, the most
important thing about him was that he possessed a restrained and relaxed aura. He had reached at
least fifth grade of the Immortal Stage, placing him at the peak among the human spirit manipulators in
the Wild Spirit Land. Rocky never thought that such a powerful man had been trapped in the Heavenly
Demon Clan for more than thirty years.
The big shot looked straight into Rocky's eyes and asked curiously, "How old are you, boy?"
"A little over twenty," Rocky answered.
"Hmm. Interesting. How could you possibly reach the Immortal Stage in your early twenties? Plus, I can
feel that your aura is very strange and somewhat evil..." During that time, the big shot could not begin
to comprehend how odd Rocky's aura was.
But of course, he had no idea that Rocky was restraining most of his aura. If he ever revealed his real
power, then the man would have to pick his jaws from the floor out of astonishment.
"So, what's your name?" the big shot continued.
"I'm Basil," Rocky remarked.
"Wait. Are you that Prince Crimson who fused with the Holy Dragon Bead's power?" the big shot
supposed.
"I didn't know that you have heard of me." Rocky was a little shocked to know that the man who had
been locked here for thirty years actually knew him.
"How could I not? The members of the Heavenly Demon Clan have always been talking about you this
past couple of days. I've heard some things about you, but not too much. Seize the day, lad. You can
have been given such strength at your age, and you should take your sweet time to go on other
adventures!" the big shot said with certainty.
"May I know your name, sir?" Rocky returned the question.
"Speaking of which, I think meeting you here is destiny's calling. Decades ago, I was still a member of
the Ximen Clan," the big shot said.
"The Ximen Clan?" Rocky's eyes widened. He never expected that such a big shot like this guy came
from the Ximen Clan.
"It's nice to meet you. Call me Bart," the man replied.
"Likewise. So you mean to say that you are the most talented spirit manipulator in the Ximen Clan?"
Rocky remembered that he once heard from Lena that there was a very powerful and talented spirit
manipulator in the Ximen Clan. Unfortunately, he had not been found since his disappearance several
decades ago.
"How is that brat Bryant doing these days? What level has he reached?" Bart asked in a hurry. The
"Bryant" that Bart was talking about was the current chief of the Ximen Clan. But upon hearing how the
man said his name, Rocky could not believe that such a powerful man in the Holy Dragon Empire was
just like a young boy in his words.
"Last time I checked, he should be at about the fourth grade of the Immortal Stage," Rocky estimated.
"Well, that's not bad. Not bad at all! Back in the day, that guy is a little weaker than me. What do you
know? I never thought he would even reach that level," Bart said as he bore pride on his chest.
"Hey, it's getting late. Should we take action now?" Rocky whispered as he looked at the dark and
gloomy sky right outside the cave.
"Are you really sure you can attract the attention of the Heavenly Demon Clan members alone? I
mean, I admire your bravery, but it's very dangerous. If you don't do it well, you can lose your life." Bart
couldn't help but give Rocky a look of concern.
On the other hand, Rocky smiled evilly. Not long after, he stood up and walked outside. In a flash,
several ordinary spiritual beings who had been guarding outside the cave lay lifeless on the floor.
"Thank you again, sir. I'm leaving now." Rocky thanked Bart and glanced at him. Immediately, he
flapped the wings produced by the black flame behind him and flew towards the center of the Heavenly
Demon Clan's lair.
"This guy must be more powerful than I thought?" Bart noticed that Rocky's aura might not be that
mediocre. In fact, he thought that Rocky's aura might be something that humans did not possess at all.
Perhaps, this aura was stranger and more powerful than that of the spiritual race.
Soon after, in the tribe of the Heavenly Demon Clan, fire suddenly soared into the sky, and the hubbub
of voices could be heard.
Meanwhile, right in the center hall of the clan, Alston was discussing with the patriarchs of the Ghost
Master Clan, and the Giants Clan. "What's that?" asked one of the patriarchs. They looked at each
other upon hearing the rumbling noise just outside the hall.
"Patriarch, I've got some bad news! Prince Crimson has escaped, and he is currently wiping out our
people..." An ordinary spiritual being barged in their hall in a hurry to report.
