The Medallion
Chapter 1503 The Sky-suppressing School

"Well, can I refuse to do that?" Rocky asked hesitantly.

"No. If you refuse, the master who came with me will kill you mercilessly. This secret can't be known by others." Eunice's eyes turned cold as she directed them at Rocky.

Then, Rocky's eyes narrowed as he felt a strange aura nearby. It turned out that it was from the guy who was with Eunice. From his judgment, that guy's strength was probably far above his. "You still want to obtain the information about those prisoners, right? I can help with that if you stay with me. You can learn more about them. It's your choice," Eunice said with a cunning smile. "Well, I guess I'll do that. Besides, I can't go back to the Sword Spirit Sect right now, and I have nowhere to go." Rocky shrugged with a bitter smile. He originally planned to enter the Sword Spirit Sect in order for him to have a better cultivation environment, but now, he thought that it would be a better choice to go to the Sky-suppressing School. Since Eunice was offering that to him, he wouldn't let the chance slip by. Moreover, he deemed that she could indeed help him a lot regarding his search for his former comrades.

"At least you made a wise choice," Eunice said as she snorted coldly.

"So, when are we going to set out?" Rocky asked straightforwardly.

"When? Right now!" Eunice suddenly took out a Beast Spirit Jade and instantly summoned a spiritual beast that could fly.

"Let's go!" Eunice immediately jumped onto the back of the spiritual beast and gestured Rocky to hop on.

Rocky followed closely and leaped on the back of her spiritual beast.

As they got on, the spiritual beast flew into the sky at a fast speed.

"What's your relationship with the Robber Regiment?" Rocky asked Eunice after a while, as he became bored.

"Why don't you make a guess?" Eunice replied as he glanced at Rocky.

"Hmm. Initially, I thought that the Robber Regiment was just a group of ordinary bandits. However, after seeing you, I changed my thoughts. After all, a beautiful lady like you can't be some mere bandit. So, I'm guessing that the Robber Regiment is just a front and it is hiding its true identity. Also, you may not be the leader of the Robber Regiment, but I think you have more power than him," Rocky guessed as he rubbed his chin.

"If I heard you say that before, I might have killed you without any hesitation." Eunice didn't expect that Rocky's analysis was spot on, so her eyes immediately narrowed as she stared at him. "Huh? Why is that?" Rocky asked with a smug smile on his face.

"You're much smarter than you appear, so I might have decided that you're going to be a lot of trouble. However, we're in the same boat now, so it's actually beneficial for us to have those wits. Let me tell you this, the Robber Regiment is indeed not an ordinary bandit group. It is a small organization under a force that aims to unite the entire Ethereal Region," Eunice briefly explained.

"What? That's ambitious. Unifying the Ethereal Region is not going to be easy!" Rocky couldn't help but let out a frown upon hearing that. Based on his experience, it was impossible to unify a world or even a region if one didn't possess absolute power.

"There is no other choice but to make that happen! The future of the Ethereal Region depends on it. Right now, the region is in a chaotic mess because the three major sects are hostile to each other. There is internal strife everywhere," Eunice remarked indignantly.

"Isn't it just normal? After all, it is people's nature to want to rule over the other," Rocky said indifferently.

"Normal? In the entire Supreme Ether land, the Ethereal Region of the human race is the weakest one. Because of the continuous provocation of the Shura Race, our human race and the spiritual race are in a bloody war. As we speak, the borders are in grave danger. But what? The three major sects are just doing nothing as if they aren't the least concerned! In no time, the entire Ethereal Region will face a devastating situation. That is if nothing is still done." Eunice spoke as she crossed her arms.

"Wait a minute. If the three major sects are doing nothing, then who is resisting the spiritual race at the border?" Rocky furrowed his brows and was a bit confused.

"The Di Clan of the Ethereal Region," Eunice replied flatly.

"The Di Clan?" When Rocky heard that, his brows suddenly raised. He immediately remembered when he talked with Lorenzo last time, Lorenzo mentioned the Di Clan and the inheritances that he left there. "The Di Clan is the only super force in the Ethereal Region that doesn't have its own sect. But even so, its power is formidable enough to contend with any of the three major sects," Eunice added. "Really? They're that strong?" Rocky said as he was slightly surprised.

"Of course. They are the direct descendants of the first royal family that ruled the Ethereal Region. But since the decline of the royal family and the continuous emergence of various clans and sects, the royal family gradually lost its power and became the current Di Clan. Therefore, they're also one of the oldest forces that exist in the Ethereal Region. Since then, the Di Clan has been in a secluded state with low- key developments. Moreover, it is the one that maintains the balance and stability in the Ethereal Region. Because they seldom appear, no one really knows how powerful they are. Thus, even the three major sects do not dare to provoke the Di Clan needlessly. It is also the reason why the Di Clan is regarded as the most mysterious sect in the Ethereal Region," Eunice said with a hint of pride.

"So, what's your relationship with the Di Clan?" From the expression on Eunice's face and how she told the story of the clan, Rocky instantly knew that she must have a close connection with them.

"I don't have any direct relationship with the Di Clan," Eunice said as she suddenly avoided Rocky's gaze.

"Well, based on what you said, you just admitted that you have an indirect relationship with them," Rocky remarked as he realized that she was hiding something from him.

"Are you a nosy one or what? I can't tell you more about it. The brief background that I told you about the clan should be enough!" Eunice said, avoiding any more conversation about the Di Clan. After that, the two of them fell silent and minded their own business.

Two days and one night later, they finally arrived at the Supreme General City where the Sky-suppressing Mansion was located.

The Supreme General City was famous in the Ethereal Region because the city and the Sky-suppressing Mansion were actually closely related to the royal family. In fact, the founder of the Sky-suppressing Mansion was a great general who had served the royal family in the past. However, due to the severe internal strife within the royal family, he decided to do something to salvage the city. Thus, he made his move and took over it, making himself the Supreme General.

Of course, the royal family didn't recognize his title. They sent troops to attack the city, but in the end, they repeatedly failed, causing great losses on their side. The battle was the main reason why the city became very famous, and it was recorded in the annals of the region's history.

Seeing that they could do nothing to take the city down, the royal family could only acquiesce in the existence of both the Supreme General and the city.

Later on, the royal family started declining. That was when the Supreme General set up the Sky-suppressing Mansion and took the opportunity to train spirit warriors that had potentials in order to make them stronger. Therefore, the Sky-suppressing Mansion's power and influence in the Ethereal Region were actually more deep-rooted than the other existing sects.

At the same time, the Sky-suppressing School was founded about three hundred years ago by the Sky-suppressing Mansion, and it was recorded as the earliest school to be established in the Ethereal Region. After that, two other sects followed suit and established their own schools.

The Sky-suppressing School was located at the center of the Supreme General City, covering an area of a thousand acres. Back then, it was actually the original location of the Sky-suppressing Mansion. But in order to expand the scale of the school, the leader of the Sky-suppressing Mansion wisely decided to move the location of the mansion to another place, and let the school be established on the original location of the mansion. With that, the Sky-suppressing School was built, surrounded by tall walls that were as tough as steel. At a glance, it could be compared to an impenetrable fortress.

After a while, the spiritual beast that was carrying Rocky and Eunice landed on the beast field at the eastern edge of the Sky-suppressing School. At the same time, several other spiritual beasts came from various directions and landed on the field. It appeared that many spirit warriors at the King Realm had also arrived.

"This place is bustling with different kinds of people!" Rocky uttered as he looked around.

"Of course. Today is the appointed day for the warriors to go to the Sky-suppressing School and report their arrivals," Eunice responded in a low voice.

"By the way, what kind of identity are we going to use to enter the Sky-suppressing School?" Rocky asked as he remembered that they hadn't talked about it yet.

"We're going in as the members of the Di Clan," Eunice answered with a smirk on her face.
