With a cold smile in his eyes, Rocky said, "Perhaps, I can help you with that, sir."
"You must be kidding me. You? Let's face it. Based on your aura, you look like you can only deal with an ordinary spiritual master at most," the old voice replied, rejecting his offer. Actually, Rocky had suppressed his aura at that time. Otherwise, the old man would not have said those words.
"The Heavenly Demon Clan has a lot of members. I know that getting rid of those beings will be difficult for you, especially if you need more time to find the forbidden item hidden in their place. Regardless, I'm willing to help you. I can distract them while you find the forbidden item. It can surely buy you some time," Rocky suggested gently.
"That sounds good to me! I am not threatened by those Heavenly Demon Clan beings. But to be honest, they irritate me a lot. I'll take all the help I can get. I think that's a great plan to buy me more time." In that instant, the old voice seemed to be considering Rocky's proposal.
"So, do you agree with the plan, sir?" Rocky inquired.
"Boy, you must have some requirements for your help, right?" the old voice asked keenly.
"Yes, I do. Before you leave the Asura Cave, I hope you can save someone for me." Rocky did not think twice as he went straight to the point of his agenda.
"So, does this involve a woman?" The old voice seemed to have made an accurate guess.
"Yes, it sure does," Rocky said truthfully.
"It's not something new. Since ancient times, every hero fails to pull through the beauty pass and they find it difficult to give up or leave the beauty they love. Being young and arrogant is not always a bad thing. In fact, this is the time for you to do what you can and what you want. In a nutshell, I appreciate the courage that burns in you. I bet that the human being locked up here must not be ordinary!" The old voice sounded like he was someone who had experienced a lot in his lifetime.
"So, do you agree with that, too, sir?" Rocky continued.
"Now tell me, where is she locked up?" the old voice asked straightforwardly.
"The thing is, I don't know where she is. But as soon as I go out, there will definitely be a lot of noise. By that time, you should already know her location. She is very important to me. I hope you can save her and keep her safe and sound. After you save her, please ask her to leave right away. I'll do my best to buy you as much time as I can," Rocky pleaded. From the start, he had an inkling that this old voice belonged to a powerful person. Moreover, he thought that if the old man could help him save Marcia, then he would have no reservations when it came to dealing with Alston and the rest of the Heavenly Demon Clan.
"Okay, I understand. Let's move right after dark!" the old man replied hastily as if he couldn't wait any longer.
Soon, night fell, and the red moon hung over the sky of the Heavenly Demon Clan territory, looking a little bit bizarre than usual.
As Rocky closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a strong aura coming from the cave that he was staying in. Immediately, he opened his eyes and saw a figure appearing in front of him from out of the blue.
"Wait, are you the one I was talking to?" Upon taking a closer look at the figure in front of him, Rocky found the person to be way younger than how his voice sounded. In fact, this man looked like he was about fifty years old. He had a strapping build, with scruffy beard all over his face. However, the most important thing about him was that he possessed a restrained and relaxed aura. He had reached at least fifth grade of the Immortal Stage, placing him at the peak among the human spirit manipulators in the Wild Spirit Land. Rocky never thought that such a powerful man had been trapped in the Heavenly Demon Clan for more than thirty years.
The big shot looked straight into Rocky's eyes and asked curiously, "How old are you, boy?"
"A little over twenty," Rocky answered.
"Hmm. Interesting. How could you possibly reach the Immortal Stage in your early twenties? Plus, I can feel that your aura is very strange and somewhat evil..." During that time, the big shot could not begin to comprehend how odd Rocky's aura was.
But of course, he had no idea that Rocky was restraining most of his aura. If he ever revealed his real power, then the man would have to pick his jaws from the floor out of astonishment.
