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 nces.


    "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 nonchntly.


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


    Rocky turned to face Isis, a frown nted 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 red 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 sh. Hit by the blow from Isis, the


    flower exploded into arge amount of power which engulfed Isis. In surprise, she instantly released a


    huge wind to puff away the powder.


    "It''s toote. The pollen has poisoned you the instant you touched it," said the woman with augh.


    Hearing that, Isis felt hot all over her body and it seemed that something strange was tantalizing her.


    She attempted to resist it with her spiritual power but only to find that the strange feeling increased so


    much that she barely had strength to keep standing anymore.


    "Haha, to tell you what, this philter pollen is designed for men but is also effective in women. Exerting


    more spiritual power could only increase its effect," the woman revealed and then leered at Rocky,


    seeming to hint at something.


    Liam then turned to Rocky and said, "You may now begin. She is no longer able to use her spiritual


    powers here."


    Rocky faced Liam with a dubious smile. "Are you really going to kill her? She is such a good and meek


    hostage. It''s a pity if we don''t make good use of her."


    "It doesn''t matter. Killing her would be like breaking one of Lance''s limbs. It will greatly reduce the


    morale of the Crimson Dragon Army. With their forces weakened, you could defeat the Crimson Dragon


    Army within a month, yes? That would be enough for the princess," Liam replied with a sneer.


    Rocky listened to Liam''s words carefully. He nced at Woods, who had been silent all this time.


    Woods remained wordless. Rocky struggled — ''These people of the Timber Deity Empire truly are


    vicious, they are actually testing me!'' However, he knew that if he didn''t do as they said, he wouldn''t be


    able to fool them.


    Rocky knew he couldn''t waste time. If they sensed his hesitation, the people of Timber Deity Empire


    would instantly see through his n. But the pressing problem was that Isis had been caught off guard;


    it was impossible for her to escape by herself.


    Rocky felt anxious. Still, he tried to summon spiritual power from within his body, and immediately


    strode up to Isis. Rocky knew he could only take a gamble now.


    "Are you actually going to kill me," Isis whispered in disbelief. She looked directly at him,


    disappointment filling her voice. Of course, she wasn''t in Rocky''s n. She didn''t know that Rocky had


    been pretending this whole time, in order to gain the trust of the people from Timber Deity Empire.


    "Everyone lives for themselves," Rocky replied. "Deputy Commander in Chief, don''t me me for being


    ruthless." The look on his face seemed vicious and murderous.


    Rocky raised his right palm, which shone with a ck light.


    "That''s enough!" seeing that Rocky was actually about to kill Isis, Woods intervened. "Commander Bai


    has proven his loyalty. Isis is still of value to us, we need her alive."


    Rocky immediately lowered his arm, breathing a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Woods with a smile,


    and said, "Your Royal Highness is really far-sighted."


    "Your Royal Highness, this can''t be good. What if he is faking it?" Liam whispered anxiously to Woods.


    "Leave this to me," Woods said to Liam. Waving his hand, he reached into his sleeve and took out a


    piece of milky white jade and handed it to Liam.


    Liam shot a cold nce at Rocky, but took the jade. He then walked up to a wooden pir, where he


    ced the jade.


    Immediately, the jade emanated an extremely dazzling light, which was then absorbed by the pir. The


    pir then copsed.


    As soon as the magic array was broken, Rocky grabbed Isis. Simultaneously, he opened the Magic


    Spiritual Space.


    "Lad, you are a good actor!" Liam shouted as soon as he saw Rocky''s moves. In a sh, he moved


    towards Rocky, as though he had anticipated this betrayal.


    The other Heavenly Stage masters followed closely behind.


    Right at that moment, a Rainbow Glow Unicorn''s head emerged from the Magic 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," Woodsmented 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.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "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-manipted 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.
