Chapter 1116 The Plan To Save The Emperor

"All right. You can go inside now," Rocky said as he led Shirley to the cave.

Shirley couldn't help but snort as she walked in. It seemed that she kind of rolled her eyes, but they were actually fixed at Rocky. In her mind, it was still hard for her to accept the fact that the pathetic loser she had known in the past had already become much stronger than her. Rocky even had two powerful spirit-manipulated beasts at his disposal. Right now, she felt so inferior to him in every aspect.

As the three women entered and settled inside the cave, Rocky walked out and looked at the direction from which they had come from.

After waiting for quite a while, he saw three figures finally appear from a distance.

"How was it? Are you guys okay?" Rocky asked out of concern.

"Well, not too good. Supernatural beasts are very difficult to deal with. Even if the three of us joined hands, we only managed to kill one," Marcia said in a rather frustrated tone.

"Let's have a proper rest first. We'll discuss the rest later." Rocky knew that they had been on a tough journey. He was just glad that everyone was safe.

Then, he guided the other three to the cave where they would stay the night.

After a night's worth of rest in the cave, the rescue team prepared themselves and set out early the following morning.

After such a long journey, the rescue team that was led by Marcia finally reached the border of the Dragon Master Clan's territory. As they passed through a dense fruit forest, they immediately saw several female members of the Dragon Master Clan, gathering fruits and other crops that they could obtain from the area. From their observation, all of them seemed to be ordinary spiritual slaves.

"I wonder if they know where my father is being held captive." Currently, Rocky and the others continued to hide in the dark and observed the movements of the female members of the Dragon Master Clan.

"How long are we doing this? Why don't we just catch one of them and ask what we want to know?" Shirley suggested as she grew impatient.

"And what if she doesn't know? I am afraid it's not a good idea as it will alert the enemies," Sabina answered while shaking her head.

"So we're just going to hide here and do nothing? If you won't ask, how will you know that they don't know?" Shirley got annoyed and refuted Sabina immediately.

"Fine. If you want things your way, just catch one of them and bring her here by yourself." Sabina knew how to get in Shirley's head and provoked her all the more.

"Sure, I will!" Shirley scoffed before quickly rushing at a fast speed.

Upon seeing this, Rocky and the others couldn't help but shake

eneral Marcia, and my master will do your best to escort my father safely out of the Dragon Master Clan's territory," Rocky stated with a straight face.

"Wait. What do you mean?" Bryant started to get confused and asked with furrowed brows.

"We all know that even the ordinary spiritual beings are very powerful, let alone the spiritual masters. If we do want to successfully rescue my father, someone has to stay here and cover for you as you escape," Rocky replied in a low voice. It turned out that he was willing to go as far as being a decoy just to ensure that the emperor could escape to safety.

"I'm not trying to belittle you, but I think it's still better if I or General Marcia would cover for the rescue team. Although I know that you're much stronger now, it's still going to be very difficult for you to defeat the ordinary spiritual beings. If I or General Marcia carries out the task, we will be able to resist their clansmen more effectively," Bryant insisted and persuaded Rocky.

"I know that. But both you and General Marcia are the backbones of the Holy Dragon Empire. You are indispensable. Moreover, with your strength, there's a higher rate of success that you could get my father out of here. That is the crucial thing. More importantly, if it was me who faced them, they wouldn't easily get the spiritual treasure." It seemed that Rocky had already thought about this for a long time. He devised a plan and carefully considered every factor before he talked to Bryant.

Bryant recognized that Rocky had already been mentally prepared to take on this role so as to save the emperor at all costs. However, he still couldn't get himself to agree because he knew that if they followed Rocky's plan, the prince might not be able to come out alive.
