Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1268 Being Threatened

"The Holy Mask..." Rocky finally came back to his senses. His eyes widened, and the last scene in hismemory still lingered in his mind. The mask that the evil figure wore was the Holy Mask whichbelonged to the first patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan, and was also the holy treasure of theclan.

But obviously, the figure that the owner of this memory called king was not the first patriarch of theDragon Master Clan. Although Rocky didn't see his face, he could tell from the conversation in thememory that this king seemed to be closely related to the death of myriad spiritual race beings. Butwho on earth was he? Although Rocky had a guess in his mind, he was not so sure about it.

The conversation in the memory also contained many pieces of important information that werevery useful for Rocky.

At that moment, Rocky couldn't help but look at the mysterious man in the container. If thismysterious man was actually the owner of this memory, a subordinate of the king, who on earth washe really? What was his relationship with the evil man that he called king?

Rocky was sure that if this mysterious man was still alive, he could help him solve the mystery of thedeath of myriad spiritual race beings.

"Hey, Basil. Are you okay?" When she saw that Rocky was completely lost in thought while he wasstaring at the mysterious man in the container, Shirley shook him immediately.

Rocky came back to his senses and lightly shook his head. After looking at the mysterious man, hesaid, "We must keep searching.”

Although he was extremely interested in the mysterious man in the container, the most importantthing now was to replace the ninth spiritual treasure. After replaceing the spiritual treasure, he would try tofigure out more about the mysterious man's background and secrets.

So, Rocky and Shirley left the stone chamber. Just as the two of them walked out of the stonechamber, the mysterious man in the container suddenly opened his eyes.

On the other hand, the two of them continued to follow Ken as it led the way. Not long after, theyfound another entrance. After entering, they found themselves in another straight passage. But thistime it seemed that they were closer to the center.

The two together with Ken continued to move forward in a circle. After nearly walking a full circle,they finally found another entrance that was closer to the center than the last one they entered.They walked like this over and over again. Although they felt that it was endless, they realized thatthe length of the passage seemed to be getting shorter and shorter. They must be constantlyapproaching the center.

Finally, as they circled around many times, the two of them walked into a large area where a bluelight glowed. This area seemed to be a square with nothing but some steps and pillars, which wasincredibly open and empty.

In the center of the area stood a small altar, on which there was a floating hammer-shaped spiritualtreasure that emitted a bright blue spiritual light.

"Is that the spiritual treasure?” It was the first time Shirley had seen a spiritual treasure, so she wasvery curious and approached it immediately. She wanted to see the magic it had with her own eyes."Hey, wait, be careful.” Rocky couldn't help but pull Shirley back. Spiritual treasures were usually wellprotected in all kinds of ways, so no one should approach it recklessly. They would be in a greatertrouble if they fell into one of the traps that protected it.

Rocky observed the hammer-shaped spiritual treasure and the surroundings of the altar carefully.He didn't see any special protection or any supernatural beast that guarded it.

"So, what should we do next? We already found the spiritual treasure, but we can't take it out. Howcould we protect it then?" Shirley asked Rocky.

"I'll ask Ken to send you out. You go back to the camp and tell Marcia the situation here. She will bein charge of commanding the team’s next steps. I'll stay here to prevent spirit manipulators at theImmortal Stage from entering..." Rocky said after he thought for a while.

"No, it would be too dangerous for you to stay here completely alone.” Shirley shook her head indisagreement.

"Someone must go back to report the situation here. Do you want me to leave you here totallyalone while I go back?" Rocky teasingly said as he looked at Shirley with a bitter smile.

"Well, if you put it that way, then I guess I'd better go back.” Shirley's face changed slightly after shetook in what Rocky said.

So, Rocky asked Ken to escort Shirley to the entrance of the ruins and that it should come back tojoin him after escorting Shirley out. Then, Shirley and Ken left Rocky and began to walk out of thestone door together.

However, just as the two reached the door, a figure with an astonishing aura suddenly appeared outof nowhere and quickly controlled Shirley.

Shirley immediately let out a loud cry. She wanted to resist but found that her whole body could notmove. The opponent's strength was way above hers.

"Let her go at once.” Although Rocky rushed over immediately, it was still too late. He could onlyopen his eyes wide and stare coldly at the figure that controlled Shirley. Judging from his aura, theperson was obviously a spirit manipulator at the third grade of the Immortal Stage.

"I'll let her go once you take the spiritual treasure behind you and give it to me." The figure slowlyrevealed his true face as he grabbed Shirley. It was definitely a strong man. There was a scar on hisleft cheek that extended from his eyes all the way down to his chin. He looked very ferocious. Hisleft eye was lifeless, but his right eye glowed with a fierce light and was as wide as that of a tiger.Rocky couldn't tell his age, but almost all spirit manipulators that could reach the Immortal Stage inthe Wild Spirit Land were over a hundred years old.

Rocky took a closer look at the powerful warrior. He didn't remember ever seeing this man in thetreasure hunting teams he had previously met.

"Basil, don't listen to him. He wouldn't dare to kill me. Otherwise, my grandfather would never lethim go," Shirley said proudly while still struggling at the grasp of the spirit manipulator.

"What? Your grandfather?" the powerful spirit manipulator confusedly said with a frown on his face."My grandfather is Bryant Ximen. If you hurt me, you will be dead for sure," Shirley said as sheintently stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Oh, is that so? I didn't expect you to be Bryant's granddaughter. What a small world indeed! Bryantwas the one who disabled one of my eyes. And today I caught his granddaughter! It's finally thetime to seek retribution for what he had done to me in the past," the powerful warrior playfully saidand laughed wildly.

"You..." Shirley's face immediately changed when she heard this. She didn't expect that this man wasthe enemy of her grandfather.

"Boy, hurry up! Or do you really want to see me kill her?" The powerful spirit manipulator namedDudley glared at Rocky with a sneer and suddenly tightened his grip on Shirley's neck.

Shirley immediately choked as she was completely in pain because of the tightened force.

When Rocky saw this, his eyes turned cold. He couldn't let Shirley die. After hesitating for a while, hefinally turned around and reached out for the hammer-shaped spiritual treasure.

However, just as he was about to touch the hammer-shaped spiritual treasure, it instantly radiatedan intense blue light. The light spread out quickly and a strong spiritual power surged out like atorrent.

Suddenly, the whole place shook violently.

"You useless brat, what have you done?" Dudley immediately glared at Rocky, thinking that Rockyhad tricked him.

When Rocky looked at the place which shook violently as if it were about to collapse, his facebecame grim and he didn't say anything.
