Chapter 1016 Back To The Holy Dragon Empire

Nester and the other elder were the last to get out of the mountain after the others had run off.

The moment they were out, the flame mountain shook violently as if smashed by a terrible force. Enormous stones rained down, followed by a surge of dust that covered the entire ground. It was followed by an intense energy that surrounded the entire area and released a powerful tremor underneath the earth.

After what seemed like a lifetime, the destruction stopped and it was all calm and quiet.

"Our work here is done, now that we have the spiritual treasure. We have accomplished the mission that His Majesty appointed us to do. The Hell of Dragon Fang is not a safe place. We have to head out as soon as possible. Once we're far from here, then that's the only time that it would be safe for us to relax." Nester suggested, and then looked at Alyssa for approval.

Alyssa nodded in agreement. The Hell of Dragon Fang made her feel uneasy, and all she wanted was to get as far away from the place as possible.

The treasure hunting teams did not waste any more time and hurriedly pulled out of the Hell of Dragon Fang. They were led by Alyssa and the two elders who were also very eager to leave the place.

It took them three days and nights to leave that terrible place.

After less than a day's rest, Alyssa and the two elders went back to report that they had successfully completed the mission. The treasure hunting teams also went back to Timber Deity Empire. They were in high spirits and looked forward to a grand celebration.

Woods was on cloud nine because it was his team who got the spiritual treasure. As soon as he and his team members arrived at the capital, Woods ordered his servants to set up a fabulous celebration party in the grand hall of his residence. He invited everyone that was part of his team to come.

By nightfall, the entire mansion was adorned with bright, colorful lights. The servants were busy as a bee and made sure everything was perfect for the grand celebration.

Inside the grand hall, members of the treasure hunting team sat on both sides of the table. In front of them was an array of all kinds of delicious food and expensive wines. Servants tended to their every need as they raised a toast to each other and chattered happily.

"I am grateful to all of you! If it wasn't for your hard work and determination, I could never get my hands on the spiritual treasure. I promise that all of you will be generously rewarded for your contribution tomorrow. With this cup of wine, I would like to thank you for your loyalty and support. Cheers!" Woods stood up a

spirit-manipulated beast and it will stay in my Magic Spiritual Space just for a time," Rocky replied with no reservation. He told them part of the truth, but he could not tell them everything. The ancient spiritual beast was not his spirit-manipulated beast, but he could summon it anytime. It would come to protect and rescue him at any moment, with the help of the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast.

Rocky's answer astonished the surrounding people. It was not the answer they expected, but it made sense. Rocky already had two spirit-manipulated beasts, and both of them were extremely powerful and difficult to possess. It would be impossible for him to own a third one, especially when it was as powerful as a Divine Stage master.

"That makes sense. Thank you, Mr. Rookie!" Lucas nodded.

"Well, let's not talk about business tonight. Let's all have a delightful time. Please enjoy!" Woods quickly came to Rocky's rescue. He knew Rocky wanted to keep his identity in the dark and discussion about the mysterious spirit-manipulated beast was a dangerous topic.

With this, Woods instructed his servants to bring in more food and wine. Before long, the merriment shook off the people's curiosity.

Rocky never enjoyed such occasions. Shortly, he notified Woods, and then quietly slipped out of the hall.

The air was fresh and a cool breeze accompanied Rocky outside.

'My time here is up. It's time for me to leave. I need to go back to the Holy Dragon Empire!' The radiant blue moon spilled light into the surrounding and his sorrow drifted away with the wind. Rocky's thought of returning to Holy Dragon Empire was met with mixed emotions. He was excited to go back, but he knew he had to face Lena and other countless adversities.
