"Hey! Isn't that woman Gloria?" Valeria pointed out at Gloria who, upon closer inspection, was currently disguised as another female Spiritual Emperor.
"Yes, it's her. She found out my real identity," Rocky revealed honestly, hiding nothing from Valeria.
"How? I thought our plan was flawless!" Valeria swiftly complained with a frown.
"You know she might not be adept with other things, but she is quite skilled at dealing with men. I think she can even tell it by just sniffing my scent alone!" Rocky explained, trying to find a reasonable excuse.
"It's possible. What did that sly fox say to you?" Valeria stared and asked him. Her overreaction was evident in her slight jealousy.
"Nothing special."
"Liar! Did you get drunk off of those honeyed words of hers?" Valeria didn't believe a single word he said.
"Ha-ha! Isn't that normal? Anyway, she is still my fiancee nominally." Rocky chuckled.
"Humph! Fiancee? The audacity of this woman!" This only amplified her jealousy.
"Don't worry. My fief has already broken ties with theirs, hasn't it? Even if she tried to take advantage of me, she'll never fool me."
"That's good." Valeria's face softened with relief. "By the way, do you know what you'll have to face in the third round?"
"No, I don't know." Rocky shook his head, feigning ignorance.
Just as the two of them were about to continue their conversation, five brilliant lights suddenly fell from the sky above the square and swiftly landed on the ground in front of it.
The Spiritual Emperors and the audience present standing in the square soon rose into an uproar. Judging from the brilliance of these lights, they were undoubtedly the big shots of the Ethereal Region.
Under the crowd's watchful eyes, the five rays of light dissipated before they revealed the true bodies encased within them.
At the same time, the uproar got furious inside and outside the square. They were indeed none ordinary big figures. The one who stood in the middle and wore a purple golden robe was the current chief of the Di Clan, Colton.
The two figures who flanked him were Crosby, the leader of the Sky-suppressing Mansion, and Enrique, the leader of the Sovereign Pavilion.
The other two were elders of the Di Clan.
