Chapter 1254 Take A Risk

"This place is a highly guarded secret. Of all the members of the Snow Master Clan, only I know its
whereabouts in the Snow Cemetery Plain." Cyrus nodded.

"Is this place really that dangerous?" Rocky was a little surprised. He could tell that Cyrus was wise in
age and filled with experience. From first glance, he had made the latter out to be at least two hundred
years old and his strength to be at least above that of the senior ordinary spiritual beings. And yet the
man was badly hurt. It was clear that this place truly was extremely dangerous.

"Rocky, please go back. A woman of the human race came to this place, but she never came back."
Cyrus's face suddenly turned pale as he had recalled a painful past.

"A woman of the human race? Do you know where she came from?" Rocky asked suspiciously.

"She claimed to be the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire and said that she had come to look for this
place as well. I remember her because she happened to pass through our village and cured my wife
who was seriously ill at the time. Thanks to her, my wife lived on for a few more years and therefore, I
will forever be in that Witch's debt. However, as per her request, I took her to that place, and she never
came back. It is likely that she died in there." Cyrus recounted the tale in a sad voice.

'Is she that Witch?' Rocky murmured in his heart. Then he assured Cyrus, "That Witch is still alive. She
returned to the Holy Dragon Empire safely some time later."

"Really? How do you know that?" Cyrus asked in disbelief.

"Because I'm also from the Holy Dragon Empire," Rocky announced.

"You are also from the Holy Dragon Empire? Then you being here is fate!" Cyrus exclaimed.

"I am not sure about that but please tell me how to get to that place," Rocky gently repeated. His
opinion was that since the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire had been to that place, it was likely that



the colored pearl was buried here.

"Let me remind you again, young man. The place is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to go
there?" Cyrus asked for confirmation. Rocky seemed to have made up his mind to get there.

"Can you lead the way for me? If that is not possible, can you at least tell me how to get there?" Rocky
continued with a nod.

"Well..." Cyrus hesitated for a moment and then warned him, "Look, you are also from the Holy Dragon
Empire. Considering that, I will take you there for the sake of the Witch who helped my wife. But you
must think it over first. Once you enter, you may not be able to get out. That place is often known as the
terrible purgatory in our Snow Master Clan."

"I understand. Take me there." Rocky had already made up his mind. He wasn't going to turn back
without any gains.

Seeing how dedicated he was, Cyrus had nothing more to say. Just as he was about to get up, Harriet,
who had been standing beside them and listening to the conversation, mumbled something to him.

Once Harriet finished, Cyrus turned and looked at Rocky. There was a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Rocky asked.

"My daughter just reminded me that my legs are injured, so she should take you there," Cyrus said.

"Alright." It was weird but Rocky didn't mind. It didn't matter who took him there. It was the same for him
no matter what.

Cyrus nodded and then whispered a few more words to Harriet. It looked like he was telling her how to
get there.



After that, Harriet nodded to Rocky, but he could have sworn that there was still a bit of hostility in her
eyes. Then, Rocky left the stone house with her, and Cyrus also came out.

"Rocky, be careful!" he warned.

"Thank you for your concern." Rocky was touched by his kindness.

However, as soon as he turned his head, Harriet glanced at him and then disappeared in a flash.

The corner of Rocky's mouth twitched. Then he summoned Robin, jumped on it, and chased after the
woman.

Harriet was deliberately making things difficult for Rocky, and he could see it. All over the way, she
moved at an astonishing pace, with a clear disregard for whether Rocky was behind her or not.
Fortunately, on this kind of snowfield, Robin could advance without any hindrance, so it followed closely
behind.

About four hours later, Harriet slowed down. She was looking a little tired. Rocky, who was riding on
Robin, caught up with her and came to a halt.

"Do you want to rest here for a moment?" he asked out of kindness. At the same time, he reached out
his hand to help Harriet.

"Don't try to please me! I know what you are thinking about!" Harriet blurted out angrily.

"So you can speak human language." Rocky had had the impression that Harriet couldn't speak human
language at all, which was why she hadn't spoken to him.

Hearing that, the woman looked at Rocky with a mocking expression on her face, which was both
annoying and amusing.



He had no choice but to shut up. He didn't want to provoke Harriet since she looked like she had a
strange temperament. Anyway, she slowed down and then led him forwards.

Half a day later, Rocky saw a towering snow mountain a few hundred meters away from them. It
seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Its magnificent height gave the illusion that the mountain
was a frozen waterfall coming down from the heavens. Halfway up the snowy mountain, a palace was
visible.

Harriet stopped and looked at that palace. Rocky saw from the corner of his eyes that she was a little
afraid after seeing it. It was as if the very existence of the palace was terrifying to her.

Then, she looked back at Rocky and pointed at the palace. After that, she left as unceremoniously as
she had come all the way.

"Hey..." Before Rocky could even say thanks, Harriet had disappeared in the white vastness.

Rocky turned around and looked at the palace once again, and then asked Robin to speed up. Very
soon, they approached the palace along the steep mountain slope.

Just as he was about to draw near, a deafening sound came from within. It was as if a powerful
monster was trapped inside the palace and was about to rush out. The sound was loud enough to be
heard easily within a radius of several miles.

Only then did Rocky understand why the Snow Master Clan was so afraid of this place. Judging from
the scream that had just resounded, he could see that this was no peaceful place and there was no
telling what awaited him inside. However, the colored pearl was the only clue to find the holy treasure
of the Dragon Master Clan, and in order to find it, he had no choice but to take the risk.

Not long after, Rocky and Robin arrived at the entrance to the palace. When they got close, Rocky saw
that it was constructed completely out of huge snow-white beast bones. Even the pillars were nothing



but unshaped bones. It all looked very strange and supernatural. At the same time, it felt magnificent
too. To build such a large building, hundreds of supernatural beasts would have been killed. One could
see that the people who built this palace were by no means ordinary.

There was no door leading inside, just a large hole in the wall. Judging from the position where Rocky
stood, it was pitch black inside, as if he was staring into the depths of hell. However, even so, he
stepped inside without fear and darkness enveloped him. No trace of him was visible
outside.
