"Could he be a member of the spiritual race?" Rocky speculated as he observed the Dark Lord from the distance.

Rocky could tell that it was the Dark Lord behind the identity of Sheehan. But what was he doing in a treasure hunting team? Rocky could not comprehend.

Before exposing himself as the Dark Lord, Sheehan took part in the treasure hunt. He also fought his way through a crowd of greedy spirit manipulators and worked towards obtaining the Sea Blue Magic Jade. However, as soon as the jade was going to be acquired by masters at the Heavenly Stage, Sheehan merely stood on the sidelines and observed everyone trying to kill each other.

If he was really the Dark Lord, one of the rare spiritual race, then he would easily be stronger than the spirit manipulators. He could have easily killed all of them as soon as they were in the Myriad Beasts Ground and no one would know he was at fault.

But instead, the Dark Lord chose to hide among human spirit manipulators and reveal himself only at the hall with the masters of the Heavenly Stage.

And he only revealed himself when Rocky grabbed the Sea Blue Magic Jade.

It was obvious that the Dark Lord did not want to kill them. He must have had some other plans. "Return the Sea Blue Magic Jade to me,” the Dark Lord commanded Rocky. He said it with such authority. It was as if the rare treasure was his.

If it was indeed his, then perhaps he staged the gathering at the hall to trigger a battle among masters at the Heavenly Stage. Perhaps the Dark Lord merely wanted spirit manipulators to kill each other.

Upon realizing this, Rocky stared at the Sea Blue Magic Jade at his hands. He realized then that the treasure could have been fake. If the Dark Lord's intention was to call everyone's attention, then perhaps the Sea Blue Magic Jade Rocky held was merely a bait. And they all fell for it.

"Why do you want this so called treasure?" Rocky asked the Dark Lord. "We know that you only used this to lure us here. What on earth do you want?" The Dark Lord stood unbothered at Rocky's speculations.

Then, collective gasps filled the crowd. All the spirit manipulators who heard it were shocked and they all averted their cold gaze towards the Dark Lord.

"If you hadn't interrupted my plan," the Dark Lord finally confessed, "you would have all become my spiritual power gathering pot. Damn it!" The Dark Lord was seething with rage.

"The spiritual power gathering pot?" Rocky's brows furrowed. He did not understood what the Dark Lord was speaking of, but he had a feeling that it was a bad news

Now that the truth was out, the masters at the Heavenly Stage pierced the Dark Lord with resentful stares. Unfortunately, that was all that they could do. They knew that even if they worked together to defeat the Dark Lord, they would not win. Being a member of the spiritual race gave him unfathomable power.

"You tricked us!" Erica yelled among the crowd. She wanted to launch an attack but she knew she had better not. It took every fiber in her body not to do so.

The Dark Lord let out a patronizing laugh. "You human spirit manipulators are weak. You are easily controlled by your greed. I've always had the Sea Blue Magic Jade and it have been here in this hall for the past ten years absorbing spiritual power from heaven and earth. Its spiritual power had finally reached the saturated stage and that's why it emitted a strange light. This time, you humans went running towards the light like mindless bugs. You risked going through the Myriad Beasts Ground for the slim chance of acquiring a treasure. I just used your greed against you. You should all get punished for trying to steal my treasure!" the Dark Lord declared.

Tension rose in the air. The human spirit manipulators realized just how trapped they were.

"So, quit wasting my time and return my jade. Then you could all go to my spiritual power gathering pot and help me absorb all the spiritual power of the Sea Blue Magic Jade,” the Dark Lord added with amusement in his voice. "Much more, your blood essence is also quite nutritious. It would have been better if you all were stronger, unfortunately there's only one beautiful girl here who is at the Supernal Stage.” The Dark Lord snickered with a devilish laugh.

The anger in the crowd turned to fear. The spirit manipulators realized that the Dark Lord in front of them would willingly kill people without blinking.

"I won't let him win, and I definitely won't let him take the Sea Blue Magic Jade back." Rocky muttered to himself as he stared at the jade that was now at his possession. He tried to feign confidence but he also knew that the Dark Lord was much stronger than him. He looked around. He needed someone to distract the Dark Lord and give him an opening to leave with the jade.

The Dark Lord stomped and caused the earth to shake. They were unable to confront him.

"I need to distract the Dark Lord." Rocky repeated to himself. Since he was faced with one from the spiritual race, he needed to take advantage of every opportunity presented at him. He was determined to leave with the Sea Blue Magic Jade.
