"Humph. Let him be. I doubt anyone's going to believe him since he has no evidence at all. Besides, our plan is already in motion. He can't possibly stop us all by himself." Canaan couldn't care less knowing that Rocky was well aware of their plan.
"But master, it's still risky to let him go alive!" Ishaan tried to talk some sense into his master as he shot Rocky an angry look.
"Stop worrying! He's just a nobody," the young master yelled at his servant. He then looked at Rocky and said, "If you don't leave now, I might change my mind."
Rocky could do nothing but just stare back at Canaan. Even he couldn't figure out what the latter was thinking, but he knew he couldn't stay there longer. And so, he quickly turned around and left.
Watching Rocky go out the door, Ishaan couldn't help but question his master's decision. "Young master, why did you let him go?"
"You may leave now. Don't bother me if you have nothing else to say." Canaan, who was starting to get irritated, waved his hand impatiently to dismiss his servant.
Ishaan had no choice but to leave with his mouth hanging wide open.
As soon as Ishaan left the room, Canaan's face suddenly turned deadly serious. He let out a cold sneer and said to himself, 'I didn't expect someone would come for me from another world. I can sense that he's special. What's more, I can vaguely feel the aura of an imperial member of the Shura Race on him. Who the hell is he?'
"Layton!" He suddenly summoned one of his subjects.
In a flash, a figure wearing a blue robe bolted into the room and knelt before him.
"Follow that human and keep a close eye on him. I want you to report his every move to me," Canaan ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The figure in blue robe answered and disappeared into thin air.
"A war between the human and spiritual race will soon break out. We, the Shura Race, will finally be able to unite the Supreme Ether Land once again. We will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity after being divided for so long. Ha-ha! My mission in the Sky-suppressing Mansion will not be in vain!" Canaan raised his head and laughed wildly.
His eerie laughter filled the entire room. He didn't expect that he would get away with pretending to be the young master of the Sky-suppressing Mansion. He laughed even more as he realized that everything was falling into place.
Meanwhile, Rocky quickly left the mansion and rushed back to the Spiritual Beast Palace to meet Shirley.
"How did it go? What's wrong?" Shirley could immediately tell that something was bothering Rocky.
"Let's leave the Sky-suppressing City now!"
He said in a hurry.
Without wasting any breath, the two immediately fled the city. As soon as they left, Ishaan and his men came barraging into the palace to catch Rocky. Unfortunately for him, they escaped in just the nick of time.
Rocky and Shirley flew away from the Sky-suppressing City on their spiritual beasts and headed towards the border battlefield.
On the way, Rocky told Shirley what happened in the mansion. She couldn't believe that the young master turned out to be such a ghastly person.
"Although I can't figure out what Canaan was thinking, I can tell that he's planning something big!" Rocky added. He felt frustrated knowing that he was just being played with.
"What should we do now? Should we tell everyone when we come back?" Shirley asked.
"No. No one's going to believe us since we have no evidence. Even if Commander Wang does, I doubt the others will. Let's hold off on telling them right now." After putting some thought on it, Rocky decided to wait for the perfect time before telling everyone at camp.
Shirley nodded in agreement.
