Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
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 theywere actually fixed at Rocky. In her mind, it was still hard for her to accept the fact that the patheticloser she had known in the past had already become much stronger than her. Rocky even had twopowerful spirit-manipulated beasts at his disposal. Right now, she felt so inferior to him in everyaspect.

As the three women entered and settled inside the cave, Rocky walked out and looked at thedirection 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 joinedhands, 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 atough 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 thefollowing morning.

After such a long journey, the rescue team that was led by Marcia finally reached the border of theDragon Master Clan's territory. As they passed through a dense fruit forest, they immediately sawseveral female members of the Dragon Master Clan, gathering fruits and other crops that they couldobtain 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 otherscontinued to hide in the dark and observed the movements of the female members of the DragonMaster 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,” Sabinaanswered 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 theydon'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." Sabinaknew how to get in Shirley's head and provoked her all the more.

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

Upon seeing this, Rocky and the others couldn't help but shake their heads and let out a deep sigh."Shirley is too impatient.” Even Bryant frowned at Shirley's reaction.

"Come on. Why did you have to irritate her? You know her temper," Rocky slightly reprimandedSabina for provoking Shirley.

"But I didn’t know that she'd really do it," Sabina rebutted as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, it's fine. General Marcia followed her as soon as she dashed out," Bryant said in an unworriedmanner.

Upon hearing what Bryant said, Rocky turned and looked at where Marcia was originally standingand saw that she indeed disappeared from that spot.

Not long after, Marcia and Shirley came back together with one of the female members. They allheard that Marcia was talking with the woman in their language.

Initially, the woman had been scared because of their sudden appearance, but as she heard Marciaspoke their language, she seemed to calm down somehow. As Marcia continued to interrogate thewoman, they could just see her shaking her head in panic from time to time.

After a while, Marcia turned to her companions and shook her head. "She doesn't know where theemperor is imprisoned. But she said that more than half a year ago, they saw that a seriously injuredhuman was brought back to the Dragon Master Clan."

Hearing that, Rocky and the others looked at each other. The woman's description might point thatit was the emperor.

"What are we going to do now?" Sabina broke the silence and asked.

"General Marcia, you had been in the Dragon Master Clan before. Do you have any idea where theymay be holding His Majesty?" Bryant asked as he looked at Marcia expectantly.

"Yes, I think I do. However, if he was really locked in that place, it will be too difficult for us to savehim," Marcia answered, wearing a serious expression on her face.

"How difficult are we talking about?" Rocky's eyes lit up. In his mind, he was already determined nomatter how hard it would be.

Marcia let out a deep sigh before she gave her answer. "Once we enter that place, the chances of usgetting out of there are almost negligible. With our current strength, I'm afraid that the rate offailure is so high,” she explained without sugarcoating the situation.

As they heard what Marcia said, everyone's expressions looked extremely gloomy.

"Well, let's go to that place first. It's better than looking for my father aimlessly. Once we made surethat he is indeed locked up there, we'll think of the most feasible way to save him,” Rocky said afterthinking for a while. Right now, they had no choice but to move forward and deal with theiradversaries when the time came.

Everyone mustered their courage and nodded in agreement.

"All right. But we have to wait until nightfall before we commence our plan. It's too risky to make amove in broad daylight," Marcia advised as she looked towards the sky.

"But what about her? What are we going to do with this woman?" Lucilla asked as she looked at thewoman from the Dragon Master Clan

"Let's take her with us. She might come in handy when the situation permitted,” Rocky suggested.In the meantime, Rocky and the others searched for a hidden place nearby to rest and wait untilnight fell.

"Chief Bryant, can I talk to you for a minute in private?” Rocky quietly approached Bryant, who wasalready about to close his eyes to get some rest.

Bryant immediately knew that it was something important just by looking at Rocky's eyes. Hequickly agreed, and the two of them found a corner to talk to.

"What is it, Prince Basil?" Bryant asked straightforwardly. He actually had a hunch that Rocky mighthave an idea of what to do later when they raided the base of the Dragon Master Clan.

"Can you do me a favor?" Rocky asked as he looked directly into Bryant's eyes.

"A favor? Of course. Go ahead and tell me." Bryant was quite surprised and curious at what Rockywas about to say.

"Although I have the cards to lay down in negotiation with the Dragon Master Clan, there's still noguarantee that everything will go smoothly. There's still a possibility that they would try to kill us.Once it is exposed that they kidnapped the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, the Dragon MasterClan would surely lose the trust of the empire." Rocky told him bluntly.

"I know. That's possible. Do you have an idea of how we could deal with it?" Bryant inquired.

"In case something unexpected happens, I hope that you, General Marcia, and my master will doyour best to escort my father safely out of the Dragon Master Clan's territory,” Rocky stated with astraight 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 spiritualmasters. If we do want to successfully rescue my father, someone has to stay here and cover for youas you escape,” Rocky replied in a low voice. It turned out that he was willing to go as far as being adecoy 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 therescue team. Although I know that you're much stronger now, it's still going to be very difficult foryou to defeat the ordinary spiritual beings. If I or General Marcia carries out the task, we will be ableto 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. Youare indispensable. Moreover, with your strength, there's a higher rate of success that you could getmy father out of here. That is the crucial thing. More importantly, if it was me who faced them, theywouldn't easily get the spiritual treasure.” It seemed that Rocky had already thought about this for along 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 savethe emperor at all costs. However, he still couldn't get himself to agree because he knew that if theyfollowed Rocky's plan, the prince might not be able to come out alive.
