The Medallion
Chapter 1006 The Invitation

Time flew so fast, no one noticed that more than ten hours had passed. Alyssa's injury turned out to be more serious than they had expected. Fortunately, with the help of the Sea Blue Magic Jade, together with the magic effect of the dual cultivation, she recovered within a day.

Alyssa became even better after the dual cultivation. Her wounds were completely healed and her pale face was now tinted with a red blush on her cheeks.

"I think you became more beautiful. As if nothing happened to you," Rocky teased.

Alyssa made a face as she heard Rocky's words, then turned away from him to hide the faint smile that crept on her face. They were still in a dangerous situation, and she knew that it was not easy for Rocky to crack a joke at this time.

"What should we do now?" Rocky stood up and asked.

"The purpose of this task is to get the spiritual treasure, but the guardian beast guarding it is stronger than I imagined. It looks like that if we want to get the spiritual treasure, I have to deal with this seven star guardian beast first. But I'm afraid I can't do it on my own. I have to send out a signal and gather a few treasure hunting teams to help me capture the spiritual treasure!" Alyssa thought about it carefully. Rocky was right, the seven star guardian beast was more dangerous than she had expected, and she herself could not break the enchanted barrier that sealed the spiritual treasure. The only way was to gather the power of several treasure hunting teams.

"What about this task? If they all turn up, then the task will be meaningless." Rocky could not help but express his worry.

"We can decide after we get rid of that seven star guardian beast," Alyssa answered calmly. For her, the most important thing was to get the spiritual treasure.

"But even if we send out the signal, the treasure hunting teams may not survive the danger they need to face just to get here," Rocky said bluntly. His eyes filled with uncertainty. "What do you mean?" Alyssa looked at Rocky in confusion.

"The spirit-manipulated beasts of the Hell of Dragon Fang did not seem happy with our presence. I doubt they would gladly welcome the treasure hunting teams, regardless if they were led by several princes," Rocky said as he felt more hopeless with their situation. When he encountered the beauty of the spiritual race earlier, he knew that she had awakened the spirit-manipulated beasts of the Hell of Dragon Fang. She ordered them to run wild to ward off the treasure hunting teams. By now, they could be entangled in a fierce battle with the spirit-manipulated beasts. They would be lucky to escape the Hell of Dragon Fang alive. But it would be impossible for them to get past the spirit-manipulated beasts, let alone enter the place.

Alyssa's eyes darkened as she heard Rocky's words. If what Rocky said was true, then the situation was even more troublesome for them. But for now, the only way to get the spiritual treasure was to gather a few treasure hunting teams. So after a moment of hesitation, she declared, "Let's try it!"

"It's up to you. But don't get your hopes up," Rocky reminded.

"Take me up there." Alyssa glanced at Rocky and then looked up at the opening above them.

Rocky smiled and summoned Ken. He asked it to carry Alyssa and fly her up to the opening just above them. Alyssa then released her spiritual power that sent a few dazzling signals in the sky. In an instant, the spiritual power exploded and set the sky ablaze with radiant light.

In a few moments, Alyssa was back on the ground with Ken.

"Now we have to wait. For the meantime, we can continue to cultivate together and not waste our time waiting," Alyssa told Rocky casually.

Rocky nodded in agreement. It was a good thing for him to cultivate with Alyssa and there was no way he would pass on this opportunity.

The two of them cultivated as they waited for the treasure hunting teams of several princes to arrive. They both hoped that the teams would see the signal and make it to them alive. Meanwhile, people inside the Palace City of the Holy Dragon Empire gathered to discuss an important matter.

Several important figures of the Holy Dragon Empire gathered inside the Grand Holy Hall. This included Alston, several founding members of the royal family whose strength were above the Divine Stage, as well as Priest Dean and other ministers with great power. Marcia was also among them.

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sat on a throne carved with priceless gems. He looked older and his face was lined with worry.

"Your Majesty, why did the Dragon Master Clan suddenly ask Prince Alston to go to their place?" Marcia asked with a frown.

Apparently, an emissary was sent to convey the message of the head of the Dragon Master Clan. Alston, the eldest prince, was requested to go to their palace.

"If only Basil was still alive. The head of the Dragon Master Clan would request for his presence instead, because it was him who merged the power of the Holy Dragon Bead," the emperor sighed. Until now, he still felt responsible for Basil's death. In his heart, if he had not punished Basil so severely and had not sent him to the Gehenna Border, Basil would still be alive. Although Basil had won the eternal reputation of outstanding brilliance and the respect of the entire Timber Deity Empire, he had lost this son forever. It also broke the heart of the woman he loved most. That was Basil's mother.

Alston's eyes were suddenly filled with rage as he heard the emperor mention the name Basil. Unconsciously, he touched his broken right hand with his left hand. It was Rocky who damaged his right hand, and he hated his brother to the core because of this. No one in the Holy Dragon Empire knew that his right hand was disabled except Priest Dean, because it would implicate him with Basil's disappearance if they knew.

"It seems like the head of the Dragon Master Clan would like to give Alston some advice. After all, Alston is the remaining heir to the throne of the Holy Dragon Empire. It's very gracious for the head of the Dragon Master Clan to do that," the emperor replied with great regret. For him, Basil was the rightful heir to the throne and not Alston.

"But this never happened before. Your Majesty, are you really going to send Prince Alston there? I'm afraid that the Dragon Master Clan might have other intentions..." One of the royal founding members objected to the idea. There was no apparent reason for Alston to go to the Dragon Master Clan. Moreover, the Dragon Master Clan had never invited a successor of the Holy Dragon Empire before they took over the throne. It was always the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire that was invited and allowed to go to the Dragon Master Clan. Because of this, they could not understand why the Dragon Master Clan would request the presence of Alston, the eldest prince, to their palace.

The other founding members nodded in agreement.

"I think we should be cautious about this." No one was more knowledgeable about the Dragon Master Clan than Marcia, and she did not feel comfortable with the Dragon Master Clan's invitation at all.

"Since it is the order of the head of the Dragon Master Clan, we have no reason to refuse, nor can we refuse!" The emperor was also reluctant to send Alston, but since the Dragon Master Clan had already sent its people, it was impossible for him to refuse.
