Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 733 Fodder For The Rumor Mills

It didn't take Rocky long to kill the Deserted Sand Crab at the third grade of the four-star level. Hedidn't pant or sweat. Meanwhile, the Rainbow Glow Unicorn, who had been watching the fight,hopped next to the dead crab and with its foreleg, pointed at the shell.

Curious to know what was going on, Rocky went over and poked the crab shell with the FrozenWind Dagger. Immediately, a red-purple liquid gushed out.

The Rainbow Glow Unicorn was thrilled. It let out an excited scream, immediately lowered its headand began to drink.

"Jeez! You are such a hearty eater! You are even drinking blood!" Rocky couldn't help but exclaimwhen he saw the Rainbow Glow Unicorn drinking the dead crab's blood.

However, when he saw the Rainbow Glow Unicorn drinking the blood happily, Rocky was tempted.For a few minutes, he tried to ignore the urge, but in the end, he just couldn't resist anymore.Reluctantly, he leaned down and started licking blood from the crab too. To his surprise, the taste ofthe blood was as mellow and rich as wine.

"Wow! This is amazing!" Immediately, Rocky's eyes lit up. He got down to his knees and began todrink with glee, as if he was competing with the Rainbow Glow Unicorn.

After he was full and refreshed, Rocky went into a mud house nearby. In the house, he immediatelybegan to circulate his spiritual power. He wanted to replace out why his power had been strengthened."This is so strange! The evil spiritual power from the second layer of the seal has fully fused into mybody. The evil spiritual power in the container made of the mysterious power is from the third layerof the seal. What's going on?" he wondered aloud.

“This is no coincidence! Did she do this to me?' he thought to himself, suspecting the only person heknew, who could have done that.

"After fusing the evil spiritual power in the second layer of the seal, my strength has grown to theseventh grade of the Heavenly Stage. No wonder I found it so easy to deal with the spirit-manipulated beast at the third grade of the four-star level. After the incident that almost killed me, Icould never have imagined this. My strength has grown beyond expectations. Anyway, I put my lifeon the line for this.” True, he had reached the seventh grade of the Heavenly Stage in such a shortperiod of time. But it came at a great cost.

For a fact, Rocky had survived by a whisker, thanks to Cherry. Had she not fed him the twenty years’worth of spiritual soul, he would not have come out alive.

"Now, it's important that I need to get familiar with the extra strength I have just acquired.” A smileappeared on Rocky's face. Then, he dragged the Deserted Sand Crab's body into the Magic SpiritualSpace. Then straight away, he and the Rainbow Glow Unicorn left the village and moved on.

There were a lot of fierce spirit-manipulated beasts in the sky around this place. So Rocky, instead ofasking the Rainbow Glow Unicorn to take him away, went hunting, while looking for the way out ofthe desert.

Three days after Rocky went missing, Allen and Marin returned to the main camp with thousands ofsoldiers. Then they got the news that Rocky had betrayed them.

"Commander in Chief Lance, Commander in Chief Rocky will never betray us. There must be somemisunderstandings behind his disappearance. Or it may be the Timber Deity Empire's plot,” Allendisagreed firmly when he saw Lance. Then, he told Lance that in order to protect the severalthousand soldiers, Rocky had personally brought fifty people to attract the pursuit of the TimberDeity Empire army.

"Yeah, how could Rocky betray us? He did it for us. He put his neck on the line to fool the forces ofthe Timber Deity Empire. I can't buy this betrayal story, come what may,” Marin echoed. She wasfrank on what she thought about Rocky. Although he was annoying sometimes, there were somethings he would never do.

"My only concern about him is that he has taken a little too long to come back. That's so unlikeRocky. Already, I'm starting to get worried that something might have happened to him. Listeningto the rumors around here, I smell something fishy. The Timber Deity Empire might be spreadingfalse reports about him, seeking to paint him in a bad light. They know that can demoralize oursoldiers,” Lance explained.

"By the way, where is Sabina? Has she come back yet? She was with Commander in Chief Rocky. Ifshe is here, we will know what has happened and where he is.” Allen suddenly thought of Sabina."If she had come back, Rocky would have come back too.” Lance shook his head and sighed.

"Then what should we do now? Rocky would be charged of treason if he can't come back in time. Atraitor will be sentenced to death,” Marin empathized. She was sincerely concerned for the safety ofRocky.

"It seems I might have to personally go back to the Imperial City and report this to His Majesty.Maybe, I can convince him to call an immediate end to these false reports. The eagerness withwhich focus has been drawn to the issue needs to pass. Die out completely. Otherwise, if things goon like this, the Crimson Dragon Group will also be impacted,” Lance said. The report about Rocky'sbetrayal was posing a real threat to the reputation of the Crimson Dragon Group. Even if there wasno truth to the story, some people would buy that line and spin it for different agendas. Lance knewsome malicious individuals who would happily capitalize on this to work for Rocky's downfall. Assuch, Lance wanted nothing but the whole truth to reach the emperor.

"Then I will go back with you, Commander in Chief Lance,” Allen said.

"I will go back with you, too. Allen and I are witnesses. Hopefully, we can use our testimonies toprove Rocky's innocence and his commitment to our course,” Marin added.

"Good," Lance said with a nod.

Just then, several Elite Commanders led by Commander Wang came in.

"Commander in Chief Lance, this is a joint statement from all the members of the Crimson DragonArmy. We have absolutely no reason to believe that Commander in Chief Rocky could ever betrayus. We believe that he is innocent, and we are willing to pledge with our lives.” Commander Wangimmediately handed the joint statement over.

"Really? I'm touched!" Lance was excited to realize that Rocky was popular. Having the support andtrust of the whole Crimson Dragon Group in such a difficult time was something that would giveRocky leverage.

Relieved, Allen and Marin exchanged a smile. They hoped that with this joint statement, theemperor himself would see Rocky's innocence.

"Commander in Chief Lance, please give this joint statement to His Majesty. We believe Commanderin Chief Rocky is an innocent man," the several Elite Commanders said in unison.

"Don't worry. I will deliver the joint statement to His Majesty in person.” Lance nodded solemnly.Then, he, together with Allen and Marin, left for the Imperial City that very night. They arrived in theafternoon of the next day. Since Lance knew that Isis was worried about Rocky, he went back to hismansion first.

When Isis heard that Lance was back, she rushed to the living room. She ran forward to greet thethree of them. "Dad, there are rumors going around here about Rocky. They accuse him ofbetraying the empire. What's going on?" she asked anxiously.

"I didn’t expect the rumors to spread so fast.” Lance frowned.

"Tell me, what happened to Rocky, dad. I don't believe that he would betray us,” she pressed further."Miss Isis, right now, we still don't have any credible information about Commander in Chief Rocky.And Sabina is also missing. No one knows exactly what had happened. But I believe Commander inChief Rocky has not, and will never betray us," Allen assured.
