Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1648 Mysterious Identity

"Thank you very much, Chief!" Rocky exclaimed, cupping his hands and bowing his head out ofrespect.

"Don’t mention it. We have helped so little compared to what you have done for the human race.”The chief of the Di Clan waved his hand. Then he turned to Colton and said, "Colton, you have fullauthority over this mission. Keep Basil and his companions safe!"

"Yes, Chief!" Colton replied, nodding his head firmly.

"Basil, feel free to remain in our clan with your friends until everything is ready. You deserve somerest,” the chief added.

"Okay. Thank you."

Afterwards, Rocky, Marcia, and the others followed the Di Clan's servants to the accommodationthat had been arranged for them.

Colton also departed

in order to gather and prepare the troop for the mission.

A few days later, a loud thud echoed through the Cloud Pavilion at the Sky-suppressing Mansion.The entire second floor of the building was a gigantic mess. Rubble covered the floor and dustfloated down from the ceiling.

Canaan glared at a black-robed figure in front of him and growled, "You said Alyssa was missing.When did you replace that out?"

"It was right after the spiritual race's retreat," the black-robed figure answered, cupping his handsand cowering slightly under his master's anger.

"I thought something was suspicious about the sudden rout of the spiritual race. Now, it looks like Iwas right.” Canaan frowned. He had been planning for a long time and had never expected it toresult in a failure.

"Master!" Suddenly, a cyan-robed figure entered the room.

"Why are you here? I thought I told you to keep an eye on Basil!" Canaan exclaimed, turning to lookat Layton.

"Basil followed Colton, the human commander in chief, to the Di Clan. I can't keep watch on himwhile he's there,” Layton replied in a respectful tone.

"The Di Clan? How did he manage to make friends with the Di Clan?" Canaan's eyes turned cold andhis frown deepened.

"I don't know. But according to the information I collected while I was there, the Di Clan is gatheringan elite army to carry out a mission. Maybe it has something to do with Basil,” Layton answered.

"It seems that I have underestimated this human. I never saw any of this coming, especially himhelping Colton defeat the spiritual race army. I made a mistake when I let him go!" Canaan took adeep breath to collect himself and ordered, "Jaxton, keep searching for Alyssa. You must replace her!”"Yes, master!" The black-robed figure cupped his hands, bowed low, and vanished.

"Layton, come with me. We're going to the Di Clan.” Layton nodded his head once and followedCanaan downstairs.

They traveled a long way. Layton stayed obediently on Canaan's heels the whole time.

Two days later, they arrived at the Di Clan.

"Chief, the young master of the Sky-suppressing Mansion is here! It looks like he wants to visit withyou!" a disciple from the Di Clan reported, bursting into the hall. The chief paused his discussionregarding family affairs with several elders and looked up at the disciple with concerned eyes.

"The young master of the Sky-suppressing Mansion?" The chief frowned. The Sky-suppressingMansion had had almost no contact with the Di Clan in a long time. The visit of the young master ofthe Sky-suppressing Mansion was an uncommon occurrence. But he still ordered, "Please take himto the side hall. I will meet with him later.”

The disciple nodded and left the hall.

After he finished his discussion with the elders, the chief walked to the side hall by himself.

When he entered, Canaan was pacing slowly, waiting for him.

"Chief, it's nice to see you!" Canaan greeted respectfully, wearing a small smile on his face.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please take a seat!" the chief said as he stretched out his hand.After they were sitting comfortably, the chief of the Di Clan asked, "May I know why you're here?""Yes. I've come for Commander Basil,” Canaan answered plainly. There was no reason to lie or leaveout certain details.

"You know Basil?" The chief's eyebrows rose.

"We've met one time." Canaan nodded.

"So what do you want from Commander Basil?" the chief asked.

"It's a private matter between Commander Basil and I. Could you bring him to see me?" Canaanasked.

"I'm sorry but you've arrived a bit too late. Commander Basil left our clan yesterday," the chiefreplied frankly.

"Oh. Where did he go?" Canaan probed, keeping his face straight.

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you that," the chief answered cautiously. Only a small number of peopleknew the details of the secret mission. He wouldn't reveal them to someone he hadn't seen in sucha long time.

"Well, that puts me in a troublesome situation. I have something very important to report toCommander Basil," Canaan said, pretending to be anxious.

"Is it really that important?” The chief had grown hesitant. Because Canaan was such an importantperson, whatever he had to tell Rocky could be very urgent.

"There's no reason for me to hide it from you. Commander Basil visited me because he knew therewas a traitor in our mansion. I promised him that I would look into it and let him know theoutcome,” Canaan said.

"There was a traitor in the Sky-suppressing Mansion?" The chief was caught off guard by that. Rockyhadn't mentioned anything about a traitor to him.

"Yes, and I have found out the identity of the traitor. He conferred with the spiritual race and soldinformation about our human army to them. The traitor also said that the spiritual race had orderedto assassinate Commander Basil because of their defeat. I thought that this could put CommanderBasil in danger so I came as quickly as possible to warn him," Canaan explained.

"Is that true?” The chief didn't know what else to say in response. He was truly shocked

"It is. Commander Basil may be in danger now. His whereabouts may have been revealed to thespiritual race," Canaan continued

"That's not good. Commander Basil and his companions went with Colton to the Demon Valley!" thechief blurted out.

"The Demon Valley? Why would they go there? Isn't that within the territory of the Shura Race?"Canaan asked, wearing surprise clearly on his face.

"It turns out that Commander Basil and his companions are actually from an alien land. They werecaptured by the Shura Race before they were brought here," the chief told him.

"They came from an alien land?" Canaan's eyes narrowed in confusion and surprise. He had neverthought that Rocky was also from an alien land. He started to connect some dots in his mind.Alyssa's sudden disappearance may have involved Rocky.

"Now that Commander Basil has been targeted by the spiritual race, we must inform himimmediately. I will send someone to deliver the message to him," the chief said, turning around tocall his servants.

Suddenly, the gates of the side hall snapped shut due to an invisible force. At the same time,Canaan's face darkened and a chilling evil aura spread from his limbs.

"What? You..." The chief looked at Canaan curiously. Something was clearly not right.

"Chief, thank you for all the information you have given me. Otherwise, my plan would have failed.I'm sorry but I can't let you inform Basil," Canaan said to the chief with a sneer.

"You are not Canaan! Who the hell are you?" Suddenly, the chief realized that the man in front ofhim was not who he said he was.

"Ha-ha! There's no point in telling you because you are going to die!" Canaan laughed wildly. Then,an astonishing force emerged from him and shot towards the chief of the Di Clan.
