Chapter 1143 Ambitions And Betrayals

"Since I'm here now, I don't plan on going back. I've decided to live in Crimson City," Shirley stated.

"Why?" Rocky asked, stunned by her decision.

"So that I can see you and curse you every day!" she exclaimed, seeping in anger. Revenge was the only thing on her mind at that moment, but she wasn't sure why her head was filled with that thought either. All she knew was that she didn't want Rocky to live a peaceful life.

"Fine. Do whatever you like." Rocky figured that she would stay for a while, and leave eventually after getting bored.

However, a few days later, Shirley was still around and soon joined the team of cultivation after being invited by the other women.

Since Rocky moved to the Crimson City, the reconstruction of the Genome Research Institute in the city progressed according to the blueprint he had devised. And outside the city, facilities were being built for raising wild spirit-manipulated beasts.

With Laney's assistance, they recruited many talented people from various empires. They were stationed in the Crimson City and began to receive professional training directly from Rocky.

A month later, with powerful financial support from the Lan Clan, five beast hospitals were established in each big city of the Holy Dragon Empire, including the Imperial City. Simultaneously, Rocky also trained the beast curers of the Lan Clan in basic operating skills so that the five hospitals could operate smoothly.

Along with the hospitals, the preliminary construction of the Genome Research Institute was also completed. With new and raw talents at his disposal in addition to the gene data he had already collected from the beast hospitals of the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky began to lead new gene experiments. The experiments were based on his own research data from long ago, so there were no issues regarding that front.

Hoping to allot more time to gene research, Rocky passed the method of refining the spiritual crystals to Isis and the other women. They were stunned beyond words when they finally found out that Rocky could refine the spiritual crystals manually.

So now, besides cultivating alongside Rocky, the women also helped in hunting spirit-manipulated beasts and refining spiritual crystals whenever they had free time. Occasionally, they would venture into the areas of the spir

aster Clan's spiritual treasure," Townsend said coldly.

"I almost had it. Prince Basil's presence changed everything! I didn't know that he would risk his life to protect the spiritual treasure. If I had gotten my hands on the spiritual treasure at the time, and if the Mu Clan had gotten rid of Rex, everything would have been so much easier for us. I could have taken Rex's place in the Dragon Master Clan with the spiritual treasure." His words were filled with hatred for Rex and the Dragon Master Clan.

"I heard you got injured by that Prince Basil of the Holy Dragon Empire. It is a little unbelievable. A human has dared to fight against spiritual masters of the spiritual race. Such bravery..." The patriarch paused for a moment, then continued, "However, that human could mean trouble for us. If it weren't for him, the Holy Dragon Empire would still be under our control. With Alston as our puppet, when the time arrived, we could have made the empire betray the Dragon Master Clan and join us instead. But now, although the Holy Dragon Empire is separated from the Dragon Master Clan, it seems like they are not willing to join any other clan of the spiritual race. This could ruin our plan." As Townsend spoke, his expression turned grim.

"How should we proceed? Several of the spiritual treasures have already reappeared, and the search for the rest is continuing. All spiritual race clans are involved in the race to find them now. I believe that it won't be long before the nine spiritual treasures reappear," Reginald said with caution.
