"It appears that they are looking for the entrance to the forbidden area..." Kayla remarked at once upon noticing the shadows.
"So, should we wait until they have entered? But they might send someone to block the entrance. If that happens, I'm sure that it will give us a hard time," Rocky said after thinking for a while.
"There's no need for us to wait. I know another way to enter the forbidden area. It can be a bit riskier, but it is much easier than entering from the entrance, which initially requires us to break the seal. Come with me." After finishing her words, Kayla gestured to Rocky and the others to follow her.
Without thinking twice, Rocky and his group immediately followed Kayla to the southeast side of the ruins of the Butterfly Divine Clan. After walking for a while, they arrived at a place where countless tombs lay on the ground. However, most of these tombs had already been destroyed, making the place very desolate and eerie.
"Back then, the alliance of the spiritual race clans surrounded the Butterfly Divine Clan, causing the latter to suffer a crushing defeat. This war led to the deaths of the majority of my clansmen, and only a few of them escaped," Kayla sighed as she explored the cemetery with her eyes.
"Why would the alliance of the spiritual race clan attack your clan? Perhaps it's not just because your clan was more powerful than them, right?" Rocky couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. At that moment, he wanted to learn the real reason why the Butterfly Divine Clan was annihilated.
"You're right about that. One of the reasons for the destruction of my clan was due to its power. At that time, it was very powerful. In fact, it had many members that far surpassed the other clans', making it a threat to others. Moreover, the other clans formed an alliance to exterminate my clan primarily because they were afraid of our leader, Aaron Bai. Sure, he brought prestige and power to the clan. Yet, the other clans all wanted to stand against him because he had a forbidden item in his hand!" Kayla expounded.
"What? A forbidden item? What was it?" Rocky asked with an utmost interest.
Soon after, all the women shot Kayla a glance, as they anticipated her answer.
"Unfortunately, I don't know what it is, either. The only thing I know about this history is that more than five hundred years ago, Aaron had entered an ancient mysterious place with each of the other clans' leaders. At the end of their travel, they each had taken out a forbidden item from that strange place. Needless to say, Aaron had taken one too. After acquiring this forbidden item, he used it to strengthen the Butterfly Divine Clan and make it invincible. Unbeknownst to many, his desire was to unify all the clans of the spiritual race. On the other hand, the other clans were able to sense Aaron's ambitions, and therefore, formed an alliance against him. At that time, the alliance summoned all of their strength and destroyed the clan, killed Aaron, and took away the forbidden item that he had. Technically, the clansmen of the Butterfly Divine Clan were innocent, and none of them should have been involved in the war. But because they were Aaron's subordinates, they also had to die," Kayla said furiously.
"Wait. Didn't you mention that the other leaders of the clans also took forbidden items as well when they entered that mysterious place with Aaron? They each had a forbidden item, but why were they specifically afraid of what Aaron had?" Shirley asked in confusion.
"I wish I knew. In addition, the details about the forbidden items are also strictly confidential. Not many clans know about what they truly are, nor what they can do. As a matter of fact, I just knew about all of this from Cherry..." Kayla shook her head in frustration.
"Then, what is this Cherry's true identity?" Rocky leaned closer to Kayla's ear and asked curiously. To him, there must be a very important reason why Cherry wanted to take out the spiritual treasure. Otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so hard to plan every last detail from the beginning and even made an effort to save him many times. He believed that there must be a driving force for Cherry to do all those things.
