The patriarch and elders of the Wood Clan froze at the sight of the Mysterious Spirit Raw Gemstone. They recognized it at a glance as the other half of their spiritual treasure. The gemstones on the nine spiritual treasures had unique colors. Each represented a natural power, and hence, was easy to recognize.
"Why do you have that?" the patriarch of the Wood Clan asked without taking his eyes off the gemstone. "Wasn't that half taken away by the other clan of the spiritual race?"
"Ah! That was just an illusion I created. I had it all along," Rocky said, raising his eyebrows at him with a self-satisfied smirk.
The elders of the Wood Clan looked at the patriarch, waiting for his response. If they could get the Mysterious Spirit Raw Gemstone back from the human, their spiritual treasure would be complete. They might not need to covet the spiritual treasure of the Heavenly Demon Clan any more. The treasures could not be used casually by any clan of the spiritual race. Moreover, using a spiritual treasure required enormous power. As long as any clan of the spiritual race had one spiritual treasure, that would be enough to grant them immunity against any wars.
"What kind of deal do you want to make?" the patriarch questioned. "If you are here for Alyssa, I'm afraid that's not possible. The Wood Clan has already finished the alliance agreement with the Heavenly Demon Clan. We have to hand over Alyssa to them." Although he coveted the other half of the spiritual treasure in Rocky's hand, the patriarch still had to consider the overall situation. If they broke the alliance agreement in public, it would not look good on the Wood Clan. Besides, the Heavenly Demon Clan wouldn't give up so easily.
The members of the Heavenly Demon Clan had been restless from the moment Alyssa had started rebelling. As soon as the spiritual master of the Heavenly Demon Clan saw the other half of the spiritual treasure, he realized that Rocky was set on destroying their plan. Before things could go out of their control, he gestured the ordinary spiritual beings beside him to spring into action.
Three of the ordinary spiritual beings bolted towards Rocky immediately. The stre
as striking them back!
"He has become stronger again," Alyssa murmured to herself, also surprised to see Rocky pushing back the enemy with ease.
Seeing this, the other two ordinary spiritual beings became vigilant. They realized that they had underestimated Rocky's strength, so they immediately summoned their guardian beasts.
The one that was attacked returned to his companions' side and also summoned his guardian beast.
Now, there were three guardian beasts which were each stronger than the seven-star spirit-manipulated beasts beside the three ordinary spiritual beings.
Alyssa knew that if the three ordinary spiritual beings, along with their guardian beasts, attacked him all at once, Rocky would be in grave danger. Even with his two spirit-manipulated beasts, he wouldn't win against them. She immediately stepped forward to help him.
However, before Alyssa could make a move, a figure grabbed her shoulder from behind and stopped her.
Alyssa turned around and shouted in astonishment, "Grandma?"
The woman who stopped her was one of the elders of the Wood Clan, the one who had brought Alyssa up. Rocky had met the old lady before.
Although she was old by age, she looked very much like a young human woman—extremely demonic and attractive. Ordinary people would perceive her as a beautiful woman with a fatal charm. Within the Wood Clan, it wouldn't be a lie to say that she could be crowned as the most beautiful woman.
