Eventually, two days had passed.
At this time, Rocky, Valeria, and Gloria had already arrived at Emperor City, which was just a mile away
from the residence of the Di Clan.
Since the Spiritual Emperor Contest was just around the corner, the Emperor City was very lively, and
many people roamed the streets. Several human spirit warriors specifically came here to watch the
contest. Of course, among them were strong disciples from powerful forces.
Upon entering the city, the three immediately searched for an inn where they could stay.
"Sir, we'd like to ask for three rooms," Rocky requested.
"No. Two rooms are enough. My master and I can share a single room," Gloria immediately butted in
as she held Rocky's arm.
Seeing this, Valeria could not help but look at Gloria. On their way here, she had felt strange about how
she was behaving, but she didn't pay much attention to it. However, now that Gloria was on it again,
her eyes narrowed and she grew even more suspicious.
'I wonder if Odin has a strange hobby, ' Valeria thought to herself.
"Three rooms, please." Rocky took Gloria's hands away from his arm and insisted that they should take
a room for each of them.
Knowing that she was rejected again, Gloria instantly pouted and stomped her feet. Obviously, she was
not pleased with the outcome.
Then, the staff of the inn guided the three of them upstairs and showed them their rooms.
"You can choose the room you want. I will take whatever is left. Anyway, I have to go out for a while, so
just stay here," Rocky instructed.
"You're leaving? Where are you going?" Gloria asked with furrowed brows.
"I'll tell you about it when I come back. Remember, stay in your rooms and don't leave this place. Wait
for me here," Rocky reiterated.
Valeria didn't complain or say anything. On the other hand, Gloria immediately protested, "Humph! I bet
that you're leaving us to have some fun outside. No way! Take me with you!"
"Fine. If you won't listen to what I say, our agreement will be null and void," Rocky said coldly as he
raised an eyebrow.
"You!" At this point, Gloria knew that Rocky was already being serious. He was actually threatening her
so that she would behave herself.
"What agreement is that?" Valeria's eyes narrowed when she heard something that she didn't know
about.
"It's just a master-and-disciple kind of agreement," Rocky quickly replied.
"Oh, I see. You want him to be your master, huh?" Valeria asked as she turned to Gloria. It seemed that
she believed what Rocky just said.
"Ha! I really don't want him to be my master," Gloria replied with a snort.
"Now, go into your rooms." After saying that, Rocky eventually went downstairs and left the inn.
He planned to go straight to the residence of the Di Clan.
However, just as he was about to leave the city, he saw a few figures suddenly flow out of a tavern and
crash on the ground near where he was standing. It seemed that someone attacked them and threw
them out.
"You are from the East Grand Sect, aren't you? Don't you know where you are? How dare you harass a
girl sexually here in the Emperor City?! I must teach you a lesson today," a figure said as she walked
out of the tavern.
At first glance, anyone would think that she was a man because she dressed like one. But upon closer
inspection, one could verify that she was actually a woman.
Moreover, when Rocky saw the woman who came out of the tavern, he smiled. He didn't expect such a
coincidence. Now, he did not need to go all the way to the Di Clan's residence, because he already
found the person that he was going to visit. It turned out that the woman disguised in men's clothing
was actually Eunice.
It would not be that strange for her to appear in Emperor City. After all, the city was not that far from the
Di Clan's residence. However, he wasn't sure why Eunice was trying to disguise herself as a man.
Seeing the turn of events, Rocky squeezed through the crowd and watched on the sidelines. He
decided not to call out to her for now and just enjoy the scene.
"Who the hell are you? You know that we are from the East Grand Sect, but you dare offend us?" one
of the spirit warriors shouted angrily.
"You don't need to know who I am. Now, get out of the Emperor City, and I don't want to see your faces
again. Otherwise, I'll be sure to skin you alive and hang you on the city wall so that everyone in the city
could see!" Eunice threatened as she glared at the disheveled spirit warriors.
However, knowing that they would not be a match against Eunice, no one dared to step forward.
"What are you guys doing here?" At this moment, a tall figure appeared through the crowd and was
surrounded by several of his followers.
The man had a sharp look in his eyes. He was dressed in a golden robe and had two steel balls in his
hand. Judging from his overbearing aura, he was a warrior at the Emperor Realm. No wonder he acted
so superior and haughty.
At the same time, all of his followers behind him were at the King Realm.
"Hall Leader Chen, you're finally here! Please help us! This guy suddenly attacked us for no reason.
Moreover, even though he knew that we are from the East Grand Sect, he offended us repeatedly! This
guy doesn't take our sect seriously!" one of the spirit warriors immediately ranted.
"Lad, why did you deliberately hurt our disciples? Do you have something against the East Grand
Sect?" Hall Leader Chen asked Eunice as he gave her an icy glare.
"Your disciples are the problem. They tried to harass a woman in the tavern and behaved poorly. I just
taught them some proper manners," Eunice retorted, not intimidated at all.
"I see. I need to thank you then," Hall Leader Chen said with a salute.
"You're welcome," Eunice replied flatly.
"Don't worry. I will personally teach them a good lesson when we get back. However, the East Grand
Sect is a well-known sect. Because you have deliberately beaten our disciples, it would stain our
reputation. Hence, I want to know how powerful you really are." Hall Leader Chen's face darkened.
Then, his aura suddenly surged out, revealing a strength of a Spiritual Emperor at the medium stage.
'Oh? I didn't expect that a hall leader from the East Grand Sect will have a strength of a Spiritual
Emperor at the medium stage. It seems that Eunice will not be able to defeat him.' Rocky's eyes
instantly narrowed as he assessed the strength of both Eunice and Hall Leader Chen.
Since Eunice had just become a Spiritual Emperor at the primary stage, it would be impossible for her
to match Hall Leader Chen's power. However, even though she knew that she was at a disadvantage,
Eunice wasn't fazed at all.
Then, in a flash, a flying knife shot out from Hall Leader Chen's sleeve and grazed Eunice's arm.
"What a despicable man!" It never occurred to Eunice that Hall Leader Chen would conceal a weapon
and use a sneak attack. She became furious from embarrassment, but she soon found out that her
strength was gradually fading away.
"Don't push yourself, lad. My knife was smeared with the Paralyzing Powder. You won't be able to use
your spiritual power for two hours," Hall Leader Chen remarked with a sneer.
"Shame on you!" Eunice roared, frustrated at her current state.
"Finally, we can exact our revenge on him!" The disciples of the East Grand Sect, who had just been
injured by Eunice, rubbed their hands and were excited to beat her up.
"Wait. She is actually a woman who's just wearing men's clothes. She also seems to be a fine one.
Why don't we take her back so that you can play with her first? Hall Leader Chen let out an evil grin as
he saw through Eunice's disguise.
"Really? A woman?" "Hall Leader Chen is right! Ha-ha! We caught a beauty!" Soon enough, the
disciples of the East Grand Sect swarmed towards her with obscene smiles on their faces.
"How dare you? I am from the Di Clan! You'd better mind your actions or you'll incur the wrath of our
clan!" Eunice immediately revealed her identity upon realizing that she was not in a favorable position.
"Humph! How convenient! Suddenly, you are a member of the Di Clan? Do you expect us to believe
you?" Hall Leader Chen thought that Eunice was just bluffing to get out of this predicament. Thus, he
did not believe her.
Then, just as Eunice was about to be taken away, a figure flashed and suddenly appeared in their
midst. With a wave of his hand, an overwhelming spiritual power rushed out, instantly blowing away the
disciples who surrounded Eunice.
At the same time, Eunice was stunned. She did not expect that someone would dare help her in this
situation.
Of course, only Rocky could have made this move at the crucial moment.
