"Thank you very much, Chief!" Rocky exclaimed, cupping his hands and bowing his head out of respect.
"Don't mention it. We have helped so little compared to what you have done for the human race." The chief of the Di Clan waved his hand. Then he turned to Colton and said, "Colton, you have full authority over this mission. Keep Basil and his companions safe!"
"Yes, Chief!" Colton replied, nodding his head firmly.
"Basil, feel free to remain in our clan with your friends until everything is ready. You deserve some rest," the chief added.
"Okay. Thank you."
Afterwards, Rocky, Marcia, and the others followed the Di Clan's servants to the accommodation that had been arranged for them.
Colton also departed
in order to gather and prepare the troop for the mission.
A few days later, a loud thud echoed through the Cloud Pavilion at the Sky-suppressing Mansion. The entire second floor of the building was a gigantic mess. Rubble covered the floor and dust floated down from the ceiling.
Canaan glared at a black-robed figure in front of him and growled, "You said Alyssa was missing. When did you find that out?"
"It was right after the spiritual race's retreat," the black-robed figure answered, cupping his hands and cowering slightly under his master's anger.
"I thought something was suspicious about the sudden rout of the spiritual race. Now, it looks like I was right." Canaan frowned. He had been planning for a long time and had never expected it to result in a failure.
"Master!" Suddenly, a cyan-robed figure entered the room.
"Why are you here? I thought I told you to keep an eye on Basil!" Canaan exclaimed, turning to look at Layton.
"Basil followed Colton, the human commander in chief, to the Di Clan. I can't keep watch on him while he's there," Layton replied in a respectful tone.
"The Di Clan? How did he manage to make friends with the Di Clan?" Canaan's eyes turned cold and his frown deepened.
"I don't know. But according to the information I collected while I was there, the Di Clan is gathering an elite army to carry out a mission. Maybe it has something to do with Basil," Layton answered.
"It seems that I have underestimated this human. I never saw any of this coming, especially him helping Colton defeat the spiritual race army. I made a mistake when I let him go!" Canaan took a deep breath to collect himself and ordered, "Jaxton, keep searching for Alyssa. You must find her!"
"Yes, master!" The black-robed figure cupped his hands, bowed low, and vanished.
"Layton, come with me. We're going to the Di Clan." Layton nodded his head once and followed Canaan downstairs.
They traveled a long way. Layton stayed obediently on Canaan's heels the whole time.
Two days later, they arrived at the Di Clan.
"Chief, the young master of the Sky-suppressing Mansion is here! It looks like he wants to visit with you!" a disciple from the Di Clan reported, bursting into the hall. The chief paused his discussion regarding family affairs with several elders and looked up at the disciple with concerned eyes.
"The young master of the Sky-suppressing Mansion?" The chief frowned. The Sky-suppressing Mansion had had almost no contact with the Di Clan in a long time. The visit of the young master of the Sky-suppressing Mansion was an uncommon occurrence. But he still ordered, "Please take him to the side hall. I will meet with him later."
The disciple nodded and left the hall.
After he finished his discussion with the elders, the chief walked to the side hall by himself.
When he entered, Canaan was pacing slowly, waiting for him.
