Rocky, along with Alyssa and several hundred members of the Wood Clan, finally returned to the clan's residence which was a miraculous place in a small country.
A year ago, the Wood Clan's patriarch died in battle to protect his clansmen. After he died, someone had to take his place. With the unanimous approval of the elders, Alyssa became the new matriarch of the Wood Clan. That was why Alyssa suddenly disappeared after the Timber Deity Empire was ruled by Alston.
After Rocky and Alyssa arrived at the Wood Clan, they immediately went to visit Evita, the most senior elder of the clan.
"Look who's finally here! I am honored to receive such a distinguished guest!" Evita was surprised to see that Rocky suddenly visited her.
"It's my pleasure to finally meet you, Elder Evita," Rocky respectfully greeted her.
"Me too. Please have a seat," Evita said.
With that, Rocky and Alyssa sat down.
"Tell me, what brings you here, Prince Crimson?" Evita straightforwardly asked.
"I happened to be involved in the Phoenix Master Clan's matter, so I came back here with Alyssa to check the progress of the new drugs I sent before," Rocky answered. He had been in frequent contact with Alyssa over the past year. Besides that, he had also developed a new drug to treat the Wood Clan's sterilization. With the Wood Clan as the experimental subject, he had carried out various studies on the spiritual race.
"Oh, is that so? I didn't expect that you're involved in this. Now I know why Alyssa tried her best to persuade me and the other elders. It turns out that it is because of you," Evita wisely said.
"No, Elder Evita..." Alyssa softly grumbled.
"So, how is it going? Has the Phoenix Master Clan been finally rescued?" Evita inquired.
"Yes, but their territory has already been occupied. Now they have temporarily moved to the Magic Phoenix Empire," Rocky replied.
"So, Alston has already defeated all his opponents in this battle. What are you planning to do next? Will you just let him be? You're the only person who has the power to deal with Alston," Evita bluntly said.
"Let's wait and see first. It's not really a walk in the park to deal with Alston," Rocky cautiously said.
"Well, if you don't mind, I have something to ask you, Elder Evita," Rocky added.
"Alright, just get straight to the point," Evita said, her face completely serious.
"I heard from Matriarch Jill that you also have a forbidden item in your keeping," Rocky directly said.
Hearing his words, Evita could tell that Rocky knew something. Her face immediately stiffened. Then she turned to Alyssa and said, "Alyssa, you go out first. I must talk with Prince Crimson alone."
Alyssa also showed a strange expression when she heard what Evita said. But judging from Evita's expression, she knew that this was something important. It also seemed that Rocky was fishing for some information. Though she was confused, Alyssa diligently went out and left Evita and Rocky alone.
"What made you think that we are keeping a forbidden item?" Evita seriously asked.
