Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

The longer he spent with the Cao Clan, the more Rocky realized that it truly deserved its reputation as a big family of the Timber Deity Empire. Everyone was dignified and glowing. Their clothes were embroidered with patterns of Cao, announcing their discipleship with the Cao Clan. The Cao Clan was a big family. It had two to three thousand disciples under its control, and there were more affiliated second or third class families. All in all, it made for a powerful force.

Rocky wasn't new to big families. When he was the son-in-law of the Ximen Clan, he had seen just how big they were during his visit. He thought the Ximen Clan was even more powerful than the Cao Clan. After all, the former's leader Bryant was the strongest cultivator of the Immortal Stage. The Ximen Clan, which was under his control, made various clans tremble when they heard its name.

Rocky was almost at the wing house of the Xiao Clan when he saw a group of Cao Clan disciples standing in the middle of the path. They were laughing and joking as if they were seeing something funny.

He looked at them and quickly averted his gaze. He didn't want to involve himself in their idling around. As he walked away, an arrogant voice came from the crowd. "Is that how Cao Clan members treat guests?"

The voice sounded familiar to Rocky. Then, a teasing voice erupted from the crowd. "Miss Mary, our Cao Clan knows how to treat our guests. We are very warm-hearted. In fact, why don't you come with me and let me tour you around to show you our hospitality?"

"Miss Mary, please don't refuse our warm welcome." The crowd hooted.

"Mary?" Rocky's attention was finally caught. He walked towards the direction of the voice and saw Mary with three men besid

ts.

Mary was frightened. In panic, she reached out and pushed Conrad away using her spiritual power.

Conrad didn't expect that she would attack him. His face turned pale with shock. But Conrad, of course, was a powerful man. Her little attack barely fazed him.

"How dare you refuse me! You two, take her back. I deserve any woman I want." Conrad had the arrogance to kidnap Mary in public.

The two men behind Conrad, who were either at the seventh grade or even the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage, did as ordered.

Mary realized that she had made a mistake. There was no good that would come out from enraging Conrad. She was ready to apologize when a figure stood in her way.

"You!" It was Rocky. All that while he'd been standing by the sidelines.

"You should head back." Rocky gave Mary a cold look.

"This is none of your business!" Mary shouted angrily.

"It's none of my business. But they blocked my way." Rocky stared at Mary.

Mary didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

"Son of a bitch! How dare you!" Conrad shouted at Rocky.

With a sneer, Rocky ignored Conrad. He walked passed him with his head held high.
