Lena watched nervously as Rocky extended his hand towards the Sunrise Magic Dragon Bow. He could hear his own heartbeat as he gently wrapped his palm around the handle of the bow and picked it up. Nothing happened out of the ordinary and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
With the spiritual treasure in his hand, Rocky walked back to Lena.
"Is this it? It looks more like a Spiritual Weapon..." Lena stared at the Sunrise Magic Dragon Bow. It was her first time seeing this spiritual treasure, so she was curious.
"This is much more powerful than a Spiritual Weapon," Rocky replied, looking down at the bow. After listening to the Witch's explanation about the origin of the spiritual treasures, Rocky realized that what he held in his hand at the moment was something worse than a time bomb. The disasters it could bring upon them were unfathomable.
He had to find another way to save his father, because it would be disastrous if he handed over such a thing to the Dragon Master Clan. Thus, he wouldn't let that happen.
A light appeared on one side of the floating platform, which looked like an exit.
"Let's go," Rocky said, nodding at Lena.
The two and Ken walked to the light, then disappeared into it.
When they walked out of the light, Rocky saw that they had been returned to the entrance of the royal forbidden area. Behind them stood the relief stone wall with the dragon sculptures, as if they had never been moved.
"Lena," Rocky called. She turned to him and he instructed, "When the elders ask you what happened here, don't tell them that we've been inside." He quickly placed the Sunrise Magic Dragon Bow and Ken into his Magic Spiritual Space.
"Are you not going to tell them anything?" she asked with a frown.
"The Dragon Master Clan has influence beyond our knowledge on the royal family. We shouldn't trust them too easily," he said bluntly.
"Okay." She nodded in understanding.
Before leaving the Dragon Valley, they bid goodbye to the elders. Of course, they didn't mention that they had entered the forbidden area and taken out the spiritual treasure already. Although the few elders showed disappointment about the failure, they didn't ask anything more about it.
After thanking them for their help, Rocky and Lena rushed back to the Imperial City.
Marcia's mansion was filled with so many people who had gathered to wait for their return. As soon as Rocky and Lena walked in, they surrounded them for information.
Rocky glanced silently at Marcia and nodded slightly. She immediately ordered the irrelevant people in the hall to leave, and asked her trusted subordinates to guard the hall and prevent anyone from entering.
Now, it was just Marcia, the other women, and Sheridan in the hall.
"What happened? Did you find any clues?" Marcia asked in a hurry.
"I have the spiritual treasure," Rocky replied with a faint smile.
Marcia was taken aback. Sabina gasped. "You... You have it?! You didn't even know how to enter the royal forbidden area!"
"Turned out that the jade token left by my father was the object needed to enter the forbidden area. He probably gave it to me knowing that something like this would happen. No wonder Alston couldn't get into the forbidden area. If he had the jade token, he would have long handed over the spiritual treasure to the Dragon Master Clan!"
