"Then how would you like me to repay you? I will surely do something for you in return for this favor,"
Hannah insisted.
"We'll talk about it after the wedding," Rocky responded.
"Okay." Hannah understood that now wasn't a good time.
Then, Rocky sent her out of his Magic Spiritual Space and once she was gone, Rocky returned
continued with his own work.
The day before the wedding, Rocky was summoned to Timothy's study for a private chat.
"Master Timothy, what can I do for you?" Rocky asked straightforwardly.
"Even if there is something that needs to be done, I am not going to let you carry that burden alone
once again. I still don't know how to thank you for saving the Sword Spirit Sect." Timothy stroked his
beard and smiled kindly.
"You don't need to thank me. I was just doing my job. If you really would like to thank me with a reward,
then I won't ask anything special and be satisfied with your choice." Rocky waved his hand.
"That doesn't sound fair to you. I discussed with several elders yesterday. They all know how great
your contribution to the Sword Spirit Sect is. Therefore, we have decided to recruit you into the Sword
Spirit Sect. You will receive better training that way," Timothy said.
"I'm afraid that's not a good idea, sir. The others don't know what I have done. If you suddenly recruit
me into the Sword Spirit Sect, then the gossip-makers will have a field day with that news," Rocky said
tentatively. The truth was that entering the Sword Spirit Sect had been the main reason behind his hard
work. That was also why he'd wanted to please Timothy.
"Of course, I understand. But I have my own way of dealing with such things. I will announce your
recruitment after the wedding." Timothy seemed to have made up his mind.
"All right sir. I think you have made up your mind so I'll do as you say," Rocky uttered.
"Great. Also, I have invited members of the Grand Sky Sect for tomorrow's ceremony. There's a chance
that they might be against you. It's best that you remain mentally prepared, although you don't have to
worry about your identity being exposed. I have already arranged everything in the Heaven Shadow
Pavilion," Timothy told him.
"I see." Rocky nodded.
After a few more words, Timothy dismissed Rocky.
When the latter returned to the Sword Spirit City and was preparing to go back to the beast farm, a
delicate figure appeared in front of him suddenly. Although her aura was restrained, it was obvious that
she was at the King Realm.
"Miss Eunice?" Rocky recognized her, but looked very calm.
"Looks like you don't want to see me..." Eunice curled her lips at Rocky's expressionless face.
"Oh, no. Of course I am eager to see a beautiful lady like you," Rocky teased.
"Glib talking, huh?" Eunice snorted.
"Do you have a message for me?" Rocky asked directly.
"Not a stupid person, I see. Yes, I have a message for you. I am not an ungrateful person." Eunice
crossed her arms over her chest.
"Do you any good news?" Rocky asked.
"I've got both good and bad news. Which one do you want first?" Eunice looked like she was enjoying
keeping him in suspense.
"Bad news!" Rocky decided after a while.
"All right. I was unable to get any information about Marcia like you asked," Eunice said.
"Huh? So what's the good news?" Rocky asked.
"Smile then. I have discovered that there is a group of prisoners from the Shura Race who have been
sent to the battlefield of the Ethereal Region. Rumor has it that there are a lot of talented warriors
among this group of prisoners, so the Shura Race intends to select the most remarkable ones from the
field of battle and train them," Eunice informed him.
"Why were they sent to the battlefield?" Rocky asked with a frown.
"It's quite simple. The best ones will naturally be the survivors. It's natural selection," Eunice replied.
"So the Shura Race is just going to let the best prisoners die at the battlefield?" Rocky's face suddenly
darkened.
"That's right. I guess very few of them will be left alive after a month," Eunice said.
"Do you know their specific location?" Rocky asked.
"I don't know. But I can continue to inquire about it." Eunice shook her head. "But I think you should first
tell me what relationship you have with them."
"I don't think that has anything to do with you," Rocky said with a frown.
"I have already told you that I don't want to interfere in anything related to the Shura Race. But this
matter is obviously related to them. I want to know if this will pose any threat to me." Eunice was more
worried about her own interests.
"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about this. No one will find out that you are my informant," Rocky
promised.
"Who knows if you'll keep your word or sell me a little ways down the road?" Eunice cast suspicious a
glance at Rocky.
"Then what do you suppose I do that makes you trust me?" Rocky folded his arms across his chest.
"Tell me the truth." It was obvious that Eunice wanted to know Rocky's true identity.
"I can only tell you that I am not an ordinary person." Rocky spoke mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Eunice glared.
"Make a guess!" Rocky raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Forget it. It's a waste of time trying to talk to
you.
One last thing: get out of the Sword Spirit Sect as soon as possible," Eunice suddenly said.
"Why?" Rocky glanced at her in confusion.
"Did you pretend to be a representative of the Heaven Shadow Pavilion and then kill Knox of the Grand
Sky Sect during the competition?" Eunice asked seriously.
"Does the Grand Sky Sect know about that already?" Rocky asked back.
"Yup. So you'd better leave this place at the earliest. If they come over to get back at you, you will be in
a boatload of trouble. And don't expect the Sword Spirit Sect to protect you," Eunice warned.
"It wasn't easy for me to make a splash in the Sword Spirit Sect. It will be a loss if I leave all of a
sudden," Rocky remarked, touching his chin.
"Well, you can come and stay with me for the time being. I promise you will live a better life than you do
in the Sword Spirit Sect," Eunice uttered after thinking for a while.
"Do you want me to join the Robber Regiment?" Rocky asked with a smile.
"That's not necessary. The Robber Regiment is just a cover for our activities. Besides, it would be a
waste of your talent to join it. I have heard that your strength has broken through to the medium stage
of the Spiritual Infant. Is it true?" Eunice was highly curious about how Rocky had managed to make
such an enormous breakthrough in such a short while. She also wanted to know how he'd gotten his
hands on so many martial spirits.
"That is my secret. If I tell you, it won't remain so." Rocky naturally wasn't going to tell her that.
"You are so mean!" Eunice snorted and then asked, "Will you come with me?"
"If I leave, the Grand Sky Sect will certainly take the opportunity to make trouble. I'm not a coward. If
they intend to come over, let them try." Rocky knew that once he left, the Grand Sky Sect would
certainly take the opportunity to make trouble for the Sword Spirit Sect. He had to stay.
"Well, that is your choice. Don't say that I didn't warn you." Seeing that Rocky had no intention of
leaving with her, Eunice glared at him disapprovingly and disappeared in an instant.
"How did the Grand Sky Sect find out that I disguised myself as the representative of the Heaven
Shadow Pavilion? Did someone from the Sword Spirit Sect tell them? Very few people knew about that.
Who could it have been?" Rocky's eyes darkened because he knew that things would be going to be
troublesome.
Hannah's wedding day was less than a week away. Therefore, the Sword Spirit Sect was bustling with
visitors. All the sects and clans of the Ethereal Region had sent in gifts for the joyous occasion.
The entire Sword Spirit Sect was lavishly decorated. The wedding of the sect leader's daughter was a
big event, and the entire city wanted to celebrate along with the family.
However, many doubts pervaded over the identity of the groom, since no one knew who the man was.
Word around town was that he was a spirit warrior from the Heaven Shadow Pavilion, but they didn't
even know his name, and the Sword Spirit Sect hadn't announced it either. The groom's identity was a
big mystery that added to the fun of the event.
While the city was talking, the groom himself, who was no one but Rocky, was busy examining Ally's
body in the dirty and smelly beast stable.
"Hey, why are you here? You are the leader of the Security Hall now, but you don't perform your duties
all day long," Tessa said after she poked her head inside the stable.
"What brings you here?" Rocky smiled.
"I have nothing else to do, so I want to have a competition with you. It's been days since you've taught
me anything. I am bored." Tessa pouted.
"I have taught you everything I needed to. You should comprehend the rest on your own," Rocky
responded.
"But I still haven't mastered the Spirit Possession," Tessa complained.
"I told you that you need to comprehend the Spirit Possession by yourself. It won't be long before you
grasp it, I am certain. Be patient." Rocky walked out of the beast stable after checking in on Ally.
"Who knows if you are trying to dupe me?" Of course, Tessa wouldn't give up.
"I dare not do that." Rocky smiled and added, "Tessa, I may leave the Sword Spirit Sect very soon."
"Leave very soon? Why?" She didn't know that Rocky had pretended to be a representative of the
Heaven Shadow Pavilion.
"There is always a reason for everything I do. If I need to leave, then you should take good care of
yourself." The truth was that Rocky did not find the Sword Spirit Sect too important, but he was a little
reluctant to part with Tessa. They had been together for a long time now and grown quite fond of each
other.
"Stop messing around. You are the leader of the Security Hall now, and I just heard that Master
Timothy wants to recruit you into the Sword Spirit Sect. If you do join the sect, then your future is very
bright." Tessa thought Rocky was joking.
"I'm afraid that plan can't keep up with the changes that have been set in motion. You should go now. I
have something else to do, so I won't accompany you." After he finished speaking, Rocky left.
