LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 623: Chapter 585 The Big Six Chapter 623: Chapter 585 The Big Six “Alright.”

With a nod, Rocky waved his hand, and the War Steed swiftly turned around under everyone’s watchful eyes, soon returning to his own fleet. Then the entire fleet, following Rocky’s command, returned to Thunderhawk City. During the whole process, the mighty fleet sent forth by the City of Fury could only watch helplessly, as their orders were to wait in place, unable to do anything.

But although Rocky had left, was Athena’s judgment correct? Was Rick actually discussing with others at this time?

Indeed, she had hit the mark yet again!

Athena had once more proven her ability, for after receiving news relayed from the City of Fury, Rick was indeed discussing the matter with others!

As Heavenly Ancestor City was the sacred city of the Heavenly Ancestor Church, and Rick was not only the City Lord of Heavenly Ancestor City but also the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Ancestor Church, the place he resided in wasn’t the City Lord’s Mansion, but a colossal palace. This palace was known as the Ancestor Holy Temple, one of the sacred sites of the Heavenly Ancestor Church.

At this very moment, Rick was in a secret chamber within the Holy Temple, with several Magic Energy Images floating before him, not one but five!

A total of five Magic Energy Images floated beside Rick, who, including himself, just formed a circle with six individuals.

“This Rocky, his actions are truly unexpected.”

“This must be Athena’s idea, she may have already detected our plan.”

“So what if she has detected it, does she think she can help Rocky turn the tables?”

Upon learning of Rocky’s request, the several Magic Energy Images expressed their views one after another. Fragments of their conversation revealed that the commotion caused by Zuluo in Thunderhawk City was indeed arranged with purpose! Including Rick, these six individuals, or perhaps it’s more accurate to say six forces, were the shadowy masterminds targeting Rocky!

However, while the others were having their say, Rick suddenly shouted, “Silence! My son is currently in Rocky’s clutches; I’m not in the mood to listen to this!”

“Sect Master, there’s no need to worry. Rocky wouldn’t dare harm your noble son.”

Upon hearing Rick’s roar filled with anger, someone within the Magic Energy Images immediately responded.

“Hmph! Rocky might not dare, but what about that woman Athena? Are you certain of what she is capable of?”

Clearly, since these people dared to target Rocky, they had thoroughly investigated his background, including Athena’s existence.

Therefore, when Rick mentioned Athena, all of them fell silent at the same time. Although they were reluctant to admit it, they had to acknowledge that no one could fathom what Athena might be thinking. And if they couldn’t even guess what was on her mind, predicting her actions was even further out of reach, which was exactly why Rick was so anxious!

As previously mentioned by the group, not only had Rocky’s proposal taken them by surprise, it had also reminded them of Athena. In this world, perhaps only a woman like Athena could surprise these six individuals. Thus, facing Rick’s question tinged with anger, none of them had an answer.

Seeing that no one responded, Rick’s expression gradually darkened, “If you have no solutions, I will decide what to do with this matter myself!”

“Rick, don’t forget our goal,”

No sooner had these words been spoken than someone in the Magic Energy Image immediately spoke up, “Our only goal this time is to make Rocky surrender everything he controls, don’t forget that.”

“But my son is in his hands!”

“That was your own choice.”

When Rick mentioned Zuluo, one Magic Energy Image gave him a cold look, “Don’t forget, it was you who initially requested to send Zuluo to Thunderhawk City.”

As soon as these words were out, Rick immediately lost his temper because the Magic Energy Image was right; indeed, it had been he who had proactively suggested sending Zuluo to Thunderhawk City.

According to their original plan, the purpose of sending Zuluo was to infuriate Rocky, causing him to make some rash moves. This way, Rocky would be compromised in Rick’s hands, allowing Rick to use it as an opportunity to make his move and proceed to the next step of the plan.

But then?

Indeed, Zuluo completed his mission, but he did so too well. He angered Rocky, but to everyone’s surprise, Rocky simply captured him. This was unexpected for everyone involved because they believed that, given Zuluo’s complex and noble identity, even if enraged, Rocky would still show some restraint. No one thought that, in this matter, Rocky would completely let loose, capturing Zuluo directly.

However, even so, the six of them still remained confident. Even though Zuluo had been captured, their plan had succeeded, as Rocky indeed had vulnerabilities that Rick could exploit. They were ready to execute the next phase of their plan. As for Zuluo’s safety, the six did not worry; they were well aware that Rocky wouldn’t dare to harm him, something even Rick knew for sure.

What none of them anticipated was that the situation would soon take a turn: Rocky instead began to use Zuluo to his advantage, creating a delicate shift in circumstances since, after all, Zuluo was Rick’s son!

As the saying goes: personal involvement leads to chaos. Now, Rick was in such a state. Rocky’s actions had started making him worry for his son’s safety, and with the additional variable of Athena, Rick began to grow restless, leading to the scene unfolding now.

After a moment of silence, someone in the Magic Energy Image spoke up again, “Gentlemen, why hesitate? Isn’t everything proceeding according to the plan?”

Having said this, the Magic Energy Image then turned to look at Rick, “Sect Master Rick, do you really think Rocky dares to harm your noble son? He merely wants to use your son as a shield. A living shield is useful; a dead one is not, right?”

As the voice of the Magic Energy Image ended, all the other images turned to look at Rick, clearly waiting for his decision. This time, there was a clear division of labor among the six parties targeting Rocky, with Rick’s task being to confront Rocky directly. Thus, his approval was essential for the plan to continue.

“Alright…”

Facing everyone’s gaze, Rick finally nodded his head, then turned and left the secret chamber without looking back.

After he had left, the five Magic Energy Images in the secret chamber exchanged glances and then disappeared one after another.

Having left the secret chamber, Rick returned to the council hall and summoned his subordinates, “Order the City of Fury to act according to the original plan!”
