Chapter 1199 Agree To Stay

"I have heard some things about why the Butterfly Divine Clan was exterminated! I had no real
conformation until just now," Rocky replied with a frown. Jill's statement had gone forth to prove that
Kayla had been telling the truth. The reason behind the extermination of the Butterfly Divine Clan was
that he had come to know was correct.

"Mmm-hmm. The reasons are true. And gaining from the previous experience of the Butterfly Divine
Clan, I have sealed up the Demonic Soul Cauldron. What's more, I have also banned the Phoenix
Master Clan from contacting the Demonic Soul Cauldron ever again. They are forbidden to even think
about it!" Jill continued.

"If that is the case, why are you so insistent on controlling the cauldron again?" Rocky piped up
immediately.

"The situation in the Wild Spirit Land is getting more and more chaotic every day. The nine great clans
of the spiritual race have fallen into decline one after the other. Sooner or later, the Phoenix Master
Clan is going to follow suit and suffer the same fate. This means if we continue to live in such blissful
ignorance, we will soon face the disaster of extinction. As the matriarch of my clan, I cannot see such a
day come, and neither do I want to. But the cauldron was forcefully opened which signals an obvious
conspiracy by some spiritual race clan. They have deliberately released the original and remnant souls
of the most powerful ancient demonic beast in the ancient times with the sole intention of dealing with
my clan. Although I'm not sure who is playing these tricks behind our backs, we can't just sit back and
wait for death." Jill's expressions were getting more and more serious.

As soon as she finished her words, she looked up at Rocky and continued, "If you are willing to help
us, then the Phoenix Master Clan will forever be in your debt, Prince Crimson!"

"I do want to help you, and I wish I could. But I have to apologize. If you really care about the Phoenix
Master Clan, then for their sake, don't even think about controlling the cauldron. Otherwise, you will



forever regret it," Rocky refused as he turned around. He was about to leave when Jill stopped him,
"Prince Crimson, I won't give up what I want so easily. Just so you know, I am not going to let it go. You
are one of those rare men I have ever taken a fancy to. You can't escape from me." It looked like she
regarded Rocky as her prey now and had declared war on him.

"Go ahead and try." Rocky smiled without looking back and left her chamber.

"It is beyond my expectation to be refused by a human being one day. But from the way he holds
himself, he must bear a big secret. What an interesting man!" It was obvious that Jill didn't take Rocky's
refusal too seriously. After all, she was a superior spiritual race being. How could she give up so
easily? If she couldn't conquer a mere, mortal human, she didn't deserve to lead the entire Phoenix
Master Clan.

Rocky felt a little helpless after leaving Jill's residence, though he didn't show it. He hadn't expected
that this trip to the Phoenix Master Clan would be the cause of such trouble dealing with the matriarch.
That had been the farthest from his intentions. Moreover, he was sure that there was going to be a
second time that he'd run into Jill. If she really wanted to bear a child with him, she would do anything
to make that happen.

"It looks I am going to have to be on my guard now." Rocky felt a pang of pain in his forehead at just
the thought. However, he also felt that this mysterious place might have something to do with the
astonishing secret that was hidden by the spiritual race.

Early the next morning, Rocky, Felicia, and Erica were planning on going back to the Magic Phoenix
Empire. Reaching their place of departure, they saw that Jill had come to see them off with the three
elders in person. However, that wasn't the only surprise waiting for them.

"Prince Crimson, I hope you think about what I said last night." Although she had regained the dignified
and steady manner as the matriarch of her clan, the way Jill was looking at Rocky was obviously



different from before.

Erica was standing right by their side and noticed something between the duo instantly. She frowned a
bit as curiosity came over her but refrained from saying anything at the moment.

Rocky merely nodded with a smile. Then along with the two other women, he rode off on the phoenix
beast they had ridden while coming here and flew away from the Phoenix Master Clan.

"Thank you for your help, Prince Crimson. You have been of great service not only for the Phoenix
Master Clan, but also for the entire Magic Phoenix Empire. What you did meant a great deal to us,"
Felicia said gratefully on their way back to the Magic Phoenix Empire.

"You're welcome, Preceptor Felicia." Rocky smiled.

"What did the matriarch say to you last night?" Erica asked Rocky. She seemed rather concerned
about that.

"It's not a big deal," Rocky said perfunctorily. He knew that if he told Felicia and Erica that Jill had tried
to seduce him last night, they would be startled.

Erica could sense that Rocky was hiding something from them, but she didn't probe any deeper.
Instead, she asked, "After we arrive at the Magic Phoenix Empire, will you directly go back to the Holy
Dragon Empire?"

"Of course." Rocky nodded.

"Alright." Erica nodded and went quiet.

Felicia, however, was looking at her disciple. She seemed lost in thought, as if she had had an idea.



Rocky had planned on returning to the Holy Dragon Empire smoothly, but was told that two days after
his leaving for the Phoenix Master Clan with Felicia and Erica, a large number of demonic monsters
had suddenly appeared all over the empire. Some of these were mutations of spirit manipulators and
some of spirit-manipulated beasts. These monsters had attacked the cities and towns as soon as they
had appeared and within just a few hours, the entire empire had gone into turmoil.

As of right now, the whole Phoenix City was on full alert. As soon as a monster appeared, it was to be
immediately dealt with.

Rocky and his companions immediately met the queen of the Magic Phoenix Empire when they
returned since the news was grave.

In the palace, along with the queen, several elders and a few high-ranking ministers of the empire,
Sabina and the other two women were also present.

"Basil..." As soon as the three women saw Rocky, they immediately surrounded him. It was evident that
they were all very worried about him.

"Your Majesty, what is the current situation of the empire?" Felicia immediately stepped forward and
asked the queen politely.

"I am not going to sugarcoat it. It's very bad! As per the latest reports from some of the towns, more
and more demonic monsters are appearing, in groups of at least dozens, and often times hundreds.
They are extremely strong and proving rather difficult to kill. Ordinary spirit manipulators can't deal with
them at all. It does not look good!" the queen told them in a grave tone.

"Why didn't you inform the Phoenix Master Clan as soon as this happened?" Felicia asked immediately.



"I thought we would be able to deal with them when they first appeared. We did not expect the situation
to spiral out of control so fast," the queen sighed.

"Oh... In any case, I think we have to inform the Phoenix Master Clan as soon as possible and ask
them for reinforcements at the earliest..." Felicia piped up after thinking for a while.

"Prince Crimson, I know this is very abrupt and sudden, but can you please stay for a few more days?
Our empire is obviously short of hands, and I don't know if and when the Phoenix Master Clan's
support will arrive. I am hoping that you can help us," the queen pleaded in a hopeful tone as she
looked at Rocky.

"Well..." Rocky hesitated. The truth was, even if he stayed, he might not be of much help.

However, the Holy Dragon Empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire were an alliance. Furthermore,
considering how urgent the need of the latter was, Rocky decided to stay and sent a message to the
Holy Dragon Empire, asking his father to mobilize a group of spirit manipulators in support of the Magic
Phoenix Empire. The war against the monsters was on!
