The Medallion

"Uncle Allen, do you have any news? How did your investigation go?" Sabina asked hurriedly.

"It was just like you said. A month ago, there was a group of mysterious people that entered the Magic Phoenix Empire. And just few days ago, they arrived at the Blood Phoenix City. Afterward, they headed to the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land. Unfortunately, any trace of them will be really hard to find. In addition to that, they have only been in the Blood Phoenix City for less than half a day. Therefore, we might not find any clue about them there." Allen relayed the information he gathered to Rocky and the others.

"That's odd. Didn't the Magic Phoenix Empire notice them entering their territory?" Rocky's eyes narrowed. The spirit manipulators Alston sent had already been in the Magic Phoenix Empire for a month. Moreover, they had been in and out of many places. The Magic Phoenix Empire should have noticed it.

"Hmm, I don't really know about that. It doesn't seem like they did. All I know is there hasn't been any movement from the Magic Phoenix Empire..." Allen responded while shaking his head.

"Well, it's actually good for us that they're not making a move yet. In that way, our actions will not be restricted," Rocky surmised. He thought more about it for a while and nodded. This was a huge advantage for them.

"Your Royal Highness, the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land is one of the most dangerous miraculous places in the Magic Phoenix Empire. We must be cautious. The spirit-manipulated beasts there are all extremely ferocious. Aside from that, they are also have a high star level. If only the four of us go there, I'm afraid it will be too risky..." Allen had a worried look on his face.

"That won't be a problem. Trust me. With your ability and Ken's assistance, we can easily catch up with the team of the spirit manipulators sent by Alston in no time," Rocky said with full confidence. "My main concern now is how to seize the things that they have been looking for from them," Rocky mused. He had already thought about it many times.

"There are three masters at the Divine Stage and several masters at the Supernal Stage in this group. It won't be easy to steal something away from them," Allen replied concernedly.

"What are you afraid of, brother? As long as there is an opportunity for me to take action, I will not show mercy!" A twisted smile appeared on Rocky's face. He seemed confident about this.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go. If we leave now, we'll arrive at the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land before dawn," Allen said to his companions. He had complete faith in Rocky's abilities.

Soon after, the four of them left for the Nine-phoenix Demonic Land.
