"I'll leave this wretched old man to you," Alston mumbled to the three cloaked figures.
In no time, the three figures dashed towards Sheridan. At that moment, Sheridan noticed that these
figures' auras were out of the ordinary. Looking closer, he could not help but stammer and gasp in
shock, "Y-you... you are from the spiritual race?"
Just as the three members of the spiritual race surrounded Sheridan, Alston went and approached
Lena once more. Laughing frantically, he said, "From now on, no one will disturb us anymore."
Marcia, on the other hand, tried her best to rush to Lena's side. However, despite her efforts, she still
found herself a little too far away from Lena.
The moment Alston was ready to take Lena away, a huge phoenix shadow suddenly descended from
the sky. Soon after, a few figures landed on the ground.
Shocked, one of them almost fainted when she saw Rocky lying motionless on the ground. Not
knowing what to do, she asked everyone around her, "Is he dead? Oh, my god. Who killed him?"
"I did. Who are you? And what are you doing here?" Alston glared at the figures who appeared without
warning.
But after thinking for a while, he suddenly recognized the one who had just spoken. He knew her as
Erica, the most powerful master among the new elites of the Magic Phoenix Empire. At that moment,
he recalled that he had seen her face before.
"So, you killed him? Do you have any idea how important he is? You killed him! He's dead! Do you
have any idea how serious this is? Now, how will I report this to my master?" Erica scolded with a
furious look on her face. She didn't expect that she would be too late to stop this from happening.
As soon as Erica landed at the Holy Dragon Empire with her entourage, she wasted no time and began
to look for Rocky. But since Rocky was at the Gehenna Border at that time, she wasn't able to find him.
But after a while, she finally heard a word that Prince Basil was spotted in the Ximen Mansion.
Rocky's identity spiked Erica's suspicion long before. In fact, Tasha had even told her that Rocky said
that he had defeated her in the flesh. With that being said, Erica began suspecting that Rocky might be
Prince Basil all along.
Although she had learned that Rocky was in Marcia's mansion, there was no way that Erica could meet
Rocky at all. In order to rescue Lena, Marcia had to close her mansion and refuse to receive any guest
to make full preparation for the rescue.
At that moment, Erica had no other choice but to wait for Rocky to show up. That was the only way she
could see him. Unfortunately for her, she didn't have that chance until he left Marcia's mansion. Erica
tailed Rocky all the way. But somehow, she raised her eyebrows when she found him entering the
heavily guarded Palace City alone. Trying not to get into any trouble, she had to wait for him outside
the gates of the Palace City.
After waiting for a long time, she still had not seen any sign of Rocky and started to suspect that
something was wrong. Luckily, she saw a group of spirit manipulators attacking the east side of the
Palace City. Taking advantage of such a chaotic event, she stealthily entered the Palace City and
looked for him in every corner. But when she saw the chaotic battle in front of the Witch Palace and
finally found Rocky, it was already too late.
If Rocky died, the other part of the spiritual treasure would be buried with him forever. No wonder why
Erica was so angry! After she spent so much effort looking for him, it seemed that all she did had been
in vain.
"So, are you one of his women, too? I don't get it. What's so good about him? You are not the first one
here. Why are there so many women willing to die for him? Damn it! Damn it!" Alston shouted in
frustration. In the blink of an eye, he held the Thunder Dragon Spear and rushed towards Erica.
Seeing this, Erica and the other women knew they had to cooperate together and bring Alston down.
Undoubtedly, Erica and the other women were not as strong as Alston. Soon enough, one by one, they
were seriously injured and defeated. Alston shot Erica so bad that he sent her flying out a few meters
away. With a loud thud, her left shoulder was stained with blood.
After clearing the obstacles in his path, Alston looked down at Lena and Rocky with a complacent and
ferocious smile on his wicked face.
"Mark my words, Alston. I won't let you succeed! Even if I die, I will die with Basil!" Lena suddenly
taunted. Soon after, she took off a golden hairpin from her hair and hurriedly stabbed it directly into her
chest.
Everyone knew that Alston would never let Lena die. At that moment, he reached out his hand as
quickly as possible to stop her, but it was too late. Just as Lena was about to insert the golden hairpin
into her chest, a hand suddenly stretched out from out of nowhere and grabbed her hand.
"Lena, if you die, all my efforts will be in vain." A voice echoed.
"Basil... you..." Hearing the voice, Lena turned her head and dropped the hairpin that she was holding
and turned her head in bewilderment. She wanted to say a lot, but no words came out of her mouth as
she saw that Rocky was alive.
"How... how can you still be alive?" Alston widened his eyes and stared at Rocky in disbelief.
At that moment, Rocky had already managed to stand up. Calm as a soft breeze, he looked at Alston
and said, "Did you really want me to die? Sorry to tell you, but you can't get what you want. Come on.
Do you really think I would let you attack me for no reason? I was just buying time. Apparently, I am a
good actor."
"What?" Obviously, Alston couldn't believe Rocky's words. All along, he thought that he had killed
Rocky with that palm attack. But as it turned out, Rocky was just pretending to be dead.
Of course, Alston didn't know that after Rocky had activated the guardian beast's power sealed in three
layers in a row, the side effect of Spirit Possession would be so serious. If he didn't pretend to die, he
probably wouldn't be able to move a muscle all day. If that happened, then he wouldn't be able to save
Lena successfully. That was the only reason why he allowed Alston to attack him on purpose. After the
attack, he pretended to be killed in order to remove the side effect of the Spirit Possession.
"But... but your body can't withstand my attack!" In fact, Alston had used all his strength when he
launched the palm attack. Now that he knew that Rocky was just pretending to be dead, he was baffled
to see that Rocky was able to withstand the attack.
"I have to thank General Marcia for her generosity. This would not have been possible without her
help." Apparently, Rocky had asked Marcia to set a temporary seal in his body and give him a little
spiritual soul of the spiritual race so he could resist Alston's palm attack. But of course, it was very
dangerous to do so. In fact, he could die if it were unsuccessful. After all, the spiritual soul of the
spiritual race was not omnipotent. Moreover, if he were seriously injured again after he was "dead",
then the situation would only be unimaginable.
Therefore, Rocky also had to thank Sabina and the other women, as well as Sheridan, who had fought
with all their might to buy him enough time to recover.
"You bastard! How could you lie to me?" At that moment, tears of joy welled up in Lena's eyes as she
stared at Rocky.
"So, is my disciple still alive? Ha! I'm so happy! I knew you weren't dead!" Sheridan, who was fighting
with the three members of the spiritual race, laughed out loud after processing what had happened.
On the other hand, Sabina, Lucilla, Mia, Erica, and the other girls all let out a huge sigh of relief upon
seeing Rocky well. Almost all at the same time, they glared at Rocky for making them
worry.
