Chapter 1246 Holy Mask

"Did you miss me while you were away?" On the way to the Witch Palace, Lena suddenly snuggled up
to Rocky and asked in a soft voice, ignoring the maids and the guards who were gossiping about them.
In fact, their dubious relationship was not a secret in the Palace City. Therefore, most people were not
surprised to see them together.

"Will you hit me if I say no?" Rocky replied with a mischievous smile at the corners of his mouth.

"No, I won't hit you." Lena shook her head. But she did do something else. In an instant, she planted a
kiss on Rocky's cheek.

"What are you doing?" Rocky was stunned by the suddenness of her action.

"If you didn't miss me, I am going to keep kissing you until you start to miss me every time we're away
from each other." Lena giggled mischievously.

Rocky was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. Previously, Lena had not been so bold with him. She
had always kept her feelings hidden, and therefore, was a little reserved around him. But now that she
had already let her heart out to him, she had no scruples anymore. She was now the Witch of the Holy
Dragon Empire and thus could not marry Rocky. However, she was satisfied as long as she could stay
with him.

Fortunately, the journey was over soon and they arrived at the Witch Palace. In order to save Lena, the
ancient spiritual beast had destroyed the Witch Palace. But now, a new Witch Palace had been erected
there, almost the same as before, but more magnificent.

Once the two of them were inside, Lena took Rocky towards the entrance to the secret room. As she
waved her hand, a golden light shot into the wall and a section of the wall, shaped like a door, began to
crumble. Soon, the entrance to the secret room had appeared in the wall, revealing the passage that
led downstairs.



Inside the secret room, Rocky saw hundreds of records of various events, treasures and whatnot, all of
which were related to the Holy Dragon Empire. Also placed on the table in the center of the room was
The Witch's Book that he had seen once before. This book was specially used to record the events of
the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Why doesn't the Witch's Book contain any accounts of the holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan?"
Rocky asked casually as his gaze fell on it. He had read the book once before, but had found no
records of the holy treasure anywhere in it.

"When the holy treasure was sent to the Holy Dragon Empire, it was a heavily guarded secret, and no
record of it is allowed to be kept. Even the first Witch left just a few records in her book," Lena
explained.

"I see." Rocky believed that sending the holy treasure to the Holy Dragon Empire so mysteriously was
justified and keeping it a secret was the right call. The holy treasure was the legacy of the first patriarch
of the Dragon Master Clan. And since the Dragon Master Clan possessed hundreds of other spiritual
weapons and treasures, he couldn't find a proper explanation as to why it was the legacy of the first
patriarch that had been sent over and not something else.

Lena rummaged through the secret room for a while and finally retrieved a yellowing and thin notebook
from a pile of records. It was covered with dust from ages of lack of use.

"Here, this must have some records of the treasure." Lena handed the notebook to Rocky.

Rocky began to turn it over. Lena was right. Very soon, he found a page that mentioned the holy
treasure of the Dragon Master Clan. It wasn't just a basic discussion. Along with a whole paragraph
about it, there was also a picture of the holy treasure. In its full glory, the treasure was in the shape of a
mask.

Rocky somehow found the Holy Mask rather familiar.



"Isn't this..." He almost uttered a small murmur of surprise after examining the figure carefully. A part of
the mask looked almost congruent to the fragment he had found in the Myriad Spirit Tomb. Could it be
that the fragment was actually a part of the Holy Mask?

"Basil, are you okay?" Lena asked when she saw the surprised look on Rocky's face. She could tell
that the figure had shaken him a bit.

"Yes, I am okay." Rocky recovered himself and read what the book had to say about the Holy Mask. It
only had a few sentences to say about the Holy Mask, but one of them grabbed his attention.

"This object has been cursed. It is a source of great evil wherever it goes!" Rocky muttered. Judging by
what the book said, the Holy Mask was an extremely evil object. So much so that it was not supposed
to belong to the Dragon Master Clan. So how come it was the legacy of the first patriarch of the Dragon
Master Clan?

Rocky's eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered over the mystery. Obviously, this story was hiding some
sort of secret behind itself!

After a while, Rocky finished reading and handed the notebook back to Lena.

"Basil, this really does not look like a good thing. I don't think you should be interested in something like
this!" Lena warned him as she put down the notebook.

"I know. I was just curious." Rocky smiled calmly.

"Really? Look, I need to tell you something. Not long ago, I had a dream in which you were wearing a
mask and looked like an evil demon, floating high up in the sky. No matter how many times I called you,
you didn't respond to me. It was as if you were a total stranger. And the mask you were wearing looked



like this Holy Mask," Lena muttered after hesitating for a while. She had gone on high alert after seeing
the painting of the Holy Mask.

"Don't worry; it was just a dream. Don't take it too seriously," Rocky comforted her with a smile.

Lena didn't say anything, but she still had a bad feeling in her heart.

The two of them then walked out of the secret room and Rocky went back to the Crimson Palace to get
some rest.

Two days later, Bryant and Lance returned to the Imperial City. They set off from wherever they were
as soon as they had received Rocky's message. Once in the city, they immediately headed for the
palace.

Hearing that Bryant and Lance had come back, the emperor immediately gathered a few important
officials and called for Rocky. Not long after, the emperor, Rocky, the Three Great Generals of the Holy
Dragon Empire, and Lena had gathered in the Lofty Dragon Hall.

Without much ado, the emperor asked Rocky to repeat his plan in front of these officials and it caused
an uproar among all the officials present.

Even Bryant and Lance were shocked. According to them, Rocky's plan was too bold.

"Prince Crimson. We must warn you that it's not a joke to unify the Wild Spirit Land. Without the
support of the Dragon Master Clan, the Holy Dragon Empire needs to protect itself and that's a hard
task as it is. Unifying the Wild Spirit Land is an impossible task and we don't think it can be done!"
Bryant said in a serious tone. He too felt that Rocky's plan was too ambitious. Considering the current
strength of the Holy Dragon Empire, it would already be hard enough for the country to set a foothold in
the Wild Spirit Land.



Not only Bryant, the other officials also began looking at each other and whispering among themselves.
Most of them had an objection or many to this plan.
