Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1878 Reporting Something Important
"Go and report to the king that we arrived. The Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief and I will see himshortly in the meeting hall,” Layla ordered promptly.
The leading Spiritual Emperor immediately nodded and sent someone to report to the king aboutthe arrival of Layla and Rocky.
"Come on. Let us go too." Layla turned to Rocky and nodded at him.
But before they could go, one of the guards asked, "Your Royal Highness, what about your ride? I'mafraid we cannot deal with it if you just leave it here.”
"Oh, the beast actually belongs to him,” Layla replied casually.
Upon hearing this, the Spiritual Emperors and the royal guards present instantly grew veryrespectful of Rocky. After all, no one expected that the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief possessedsuch a powerful beast.
"So, this is the legendary Godly Genius of the Ghost Fiefl What a brilliant and powerful young man!""That's right. It's obvious that he is an extraordinary guy!"
"It seems that even Princess Layla favors him. I'm sure that he will have a bright future ahead!"
The Spiritual Emperors immediately said some flattering words to get on Rocky's good side.
On the other hand, Rocky just let out a faint smile and said nothing in response. Then, he waved atRubygon, signaling it to leave first. Afterward, it let out a low roar and majestically flew away beforeeveryone's eyes.
Immediately after, Rocky and Layla got going and entered the palace under the gazes of the public.Not long after, the two of them arrived at the meeting hall, where the king and several people werewaiting for them. Some of them were elders of the royal family, while the others were ministers. Itseemed that they were just summoned when the king got the news that Layla and Rocky hadreturned.
"Your Majesty, we have come back.” Layla saluted the moment they appeared before the king.
At the same time, Rocky also cupped his hands as a sign of respect.
"Tell me, how were you able to return? After you left, the teleportation point in the palace wassuddenly destroyed by a mysterious force that descended from the sky. I was worried that none ofyou would be able to come back safely," the king could only ask directly while he sat straight on histhrone. In fact, the king was a little surprised when the Spiritual Emperor reported that the two hadalready come back. After all, he did not expect that Layla would return earlier than Enoch or Zain,especially after the teleportation point was destroyed.
"We were a bit lucky to replace another teleportation point inside the Ghostly Demon Land,” Laylaanswered as she cast a glance at Rocky.
"Oh, is that so?" When the king heard this, his brows instantly furrowed. Although he knew thatthere were other teleportation points in the Ghostly Demon Land, most of them were destroyed,including the one in the palace. He knew there was indeed another one left, but the location andinformation about it were only known to the previous rulers. Hence, the king found it really strangethat they were able to replace it.
However, he did not bother to ask about it. Instead, he changed the topic. "Why are you the onlyones who came back? Where are Zain, Enoch, and their team members?"
"After we obtained Phillip's power, we tried to escape from the Ghostly Demon Land immediately.That was when we happened to replace the teleportation point. So, as for whether Prince Zain andPrince Enoch have come back or not, we have no idea whatsoever," Layla bluntly replied. Logically,there was indeed no need to wait for the other teams since they were competitors. Besides, the firstone who could bring back Phillip's power would be declared the winner. Moreover, Enoch colludedwith the demonic race and almost caused all of them to die back in the Ghostly Demon Land. Thus,Layla did not really care if they could come back or not.
"So, you have obtained Phillips power?" Apparently, the king only thought that they came backsafely, but he did not expect that Layla also finished the task and obtained Philip's power. Now,according to the rule that he had set, Layla should be chosen as the next ruler.
At the same time, the elders and ministers could just look at each other and discuss amongthemselves. Among the three candidates, they had always thought that Layla would have the leastchances of succeeding.
"To be exact, Odin was the one who obtained it." Layla did not dare to take all the credit. Instead,she told the truth without hesitation. After all, if it wasn't for Rocky, she might not have even comeback alive, let alone acquire Phillip’s power.
"I see..." The king shifted his gaze to Rocky upon hearing what Layla said. Although he had alreadyseen Rocky once before they entered the Ghostly Demon Land, he didn't really pay much attentionto the young man. In the king's eyes, Rocky was just a mere Godly Genius of a major fief. He mighthave done some amazing performances before, but it was not enough to really capture the king'sattention. But now that Rocky helped Layla get ahold of Phillip's power, the situation had somehowchanged.
Even the elders and ministers also fixed their eyes on Rocky. For most of them, this was their firsttime meeting the young man. Previously, they also heard about Rocky's reputation along with thestories regarding his performance in the Shura Race. So, now that they had finally seen him inperson, they grew more curious about him.
However, as they scrutinized him, it seemed that they could not see anything special about Rocky.They thought that his aura was very ordinary, and nothing really stood out.
Thus, this made them all the more wonder how Rocky managed to obtain Phillip's power.
"Your Royal Highness, aren't you being too modest? How can he acquire Phillip's power when wecan see plain as day that his strength is very average? It would seem that the trial is too simple!" aconfidant of Zain, who was also a minister of the royal family, suddenly butted in with hints ofjealousy and disdain in his tone.
"Simple? Then, you can ask Prince Zain what he experienced in the Ghostly Demon Land when hecomes back. I am just telling the truth, and I have no intention of exaggerating things,” Layla repliedwith a straight face. Then, she glanced at Rocky and hinted something
Shortly after, Rocky took out a jade bottle, which was being surrounded by a strange halo. It wasactually the container where he placed some of Phillip's power from the Purgatorial Tripod.
As soon as Rocky held the jade bottle in front of him, it immediately gave off an astonishingpressure. Even the elders present, who were at the Shura Realm, could not help but instantly wear aserious expression.
However, Rocky, who was the one holding the bottle in his hand, just remained calm and unaffectedby the overwhelming power emitting from the bottle.
Obviously, the elders and minister got more confused. After all, they believed that Rocky was just aSpiritual Emperor. But it was also a fact that he was not affected in any way by the pressure releasedby Phillip's power.
Then, Rocky eventually handed the bottle over to the king. The moment the king received the jadebottle, he opened the cork. Inmediately after, a strong aura at the God Realm spread in the air andfilled the hall. The elders and ministers instantly felt a shiver down their spine, and their faces turnedpale.
"This is indeed Phillips soul power!" the king exclaimed and confirmed.
Afterward, the elders and ministers began conversing among themselves again. With theconfirmation from the king, according to the new rule, Layla was undoubtedly going to be the nextruler.
"Thank you for all your hard work. For now, go back and take a good rest!" However, to everyone'ssurprise, the king did not mention anything about the matter of the throne's successor.
Although she was a bit puzzled, Layla didn't deem to initiate talking about the topic. Right now, thisissue could wait since she had something more important to report.
