Chapter 484 Glory, Wealth and Rank

"Deputy Commander in Chief, it seems I have no other choice, now that disaster is imminent. However, I'd rather join the Timber Deity Empire than die here alongside you," Rocky said wistfully. "At least there, I can enjoy a few precious moments of glory and wealth." Upon seeing that Isis was seething at his words, Rocky remained calm.

"I must have misjudged you," replied Isis haughtily. She felt rage surging within her; she knew she shouldn't have trusted him from the very beginning.

Woods and Liam sensed the tension between Rocky and Isis. They exchanged glances.

"Commander Bai, if you are truly willing to join Timber Deity Empire, you have to prove your loyalty to His Royal Highness. If you can fulfill my request, I will believe you." As Isis had begun to fume at Rocky, Liam had been observing them coldly.

"Fine then, what is your request?" Rocky asked nonchalantly.

"Kill her!" Liam said with a flourish, pointing a finger at Isis.

Rocky turned to face Isis, a frown planted firmly on his face.

"Liam..." Woods was stunned. He knew it was not in their best interest to have Isis killed, so he was dubious as to why Liam would test Rocky's loyalty this way. After some thoughts, however, he realized that this might be the only way to test Rocky, thus he allowed Liam to have his way.

"You evil bastards!" Isis spat at Liam. She glared at him, her eyes filled with rage.

"Commander Bai," ignoring Isis, Liam turned to Rocky. "If you kill her, I swear I will introduce you to the lovely princess. I promise you a life full of luxury." Liam's eyes shone mischievously.

"But I'm no match for her," Rocky answered reluctantly.

"That's easy," Liam replied with a devious smile. He nodded towards the only girl among the Heavenly Stage masters.

The woman acknowledged him by gently waving her slender arm. A wooden mark climbed up seemingly from nowhere, like vines intertwined. At its peak, a tender flower blossomed. The flower glided through the air, entering the magic array. It seemed to be making its way towards Isis.

Upon seeing the approaching flower, Isis stepped back, gathered her spiritual power, and infused it into her arm which turned into a wind dashing toward the flower in a flash. Hit by the blow from Isis, the flower exploded into

gic Spiritual Space opened by Rocky. Colorful clouds appeared on the unicorn's forehead, and Rocky immediately pressed his hand on it.

By the time Liam and the other Heavenly Stage masters realized what was happening, Rocky and Isis had vanished like vapor.

"Where are they?" Liam roared furiously. Liam's eyes widened in shock. He desperately looked back and forth, unable to grasp their disappearance.

"I didn't expect Commander Bai to perform such a strange feat," Woods commented in wonder. "How interesting!" As opposed to his people who were furious and anxious, Woods appeared to be very calm despite the fact that Rocky had vanished from thin air.

"They can't be far. Find them for me right now!" Liam demanded.

Just then, Silver Wind, who had been lying on the ground all the whole time, suddenly came to trouble them. It rushed towards Liam and other Heavenly Stage masters to block their way.

Two masters quickly summoned their spirit-manipulated beasts to attack Silver Wind.

The rest of the masters split up, trying to find Rocky and Isis.

"Your Royal Highness, you knew that Rocky was lying. Why did you let him go?" Liam asked, confused and frustrated.

"The poison in Isis could lead to her death if her burning sexual desire cannot be satisfied. So the only way to save her is..." Woods said with a mysterious smile. "We don't need to search for them. Instead, inform the Crimson Dragon Army of the news that Isis is captured in Mount Clouds and then wait for an excellent show," he added.
