The Medallion

Chapter 1132 A Special Existence

"Father, please don't say that! Since you have finally come out, it's time for our Mu Clan to regain control of the Dragon Master Clan." Moira tried to persuade Malcom.

Malcom glanced at his daughter and shook his head. Then he looked around at the members of the Dragon Master Clan and said, "Let's stop here. There's no need to kill each other anymore!"

His words reached the members present and most of them lost their will to fight.

"Malcom, you are the former patriarch of our clan. If you persuade your daughter to return the Mu Clan to the Dragon Master Clan, I'll let her go scot-free today," Rex said, seemingly showing a magnanimous gesture. But it was obvious that he was afraid of Malcom. Malcom had been one of the three strongest spiritual masters of the Dragon Master Clan since ancient times, and was also one of the most influential figures when the clan was at its strongest period. This man was old—much older than any elder in the Dragon Master Clan. However, owing to his powerful aura, it was impossible to see his actual age.

"Leave with your people, Rex. I am only here to see my daughters. Do not get in my way..." he warned in a calm tone.

Rex's face became rigid, but he wasn't willing to leave just like that. He growled, "Malcom! You will only let the Mu Clan fall into an irreparable situation by doing this."

Before he could say another word, a fearsome aura rushed towards him. His expression changed dramatically in that instant; he saw the murderous look in Malcom's eyes.

If he willed to do so, Malcom could kill Rex on the spot.

Realizing that it wasn't wise to provoke Malcom, Rex took a step back. He knew that Malcom always kept his promises, otherwise he wouldn't have kept quiet after Rex had washed his hands with the

blood of the Mu Clan. Malcom said he was only there to see his daughters, so he wouldn't cause any trouble.

Finally, Rex waved his hand bitterly and ordered his men to retreat and departed in a sour mood.

Once they retreated, the members of the Mu Clan left as well, leaving Malcom, Marcia, Moira and Rocky behind.

"Marcia," Malcom said warmly. "I didn't expect that I would one day see you untie the curse seal of the spiritual race." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Father, you were finally willing to come out." Like a child, Marcia cried with joy.

"I'm here to see you for the last time." Marcia's eyes widened in shock.

"The last time? What do you mean?" she asked, afraid of his reply.

"Father, what are you talking about?" Moira was shocked by this revelation as well.

"My lifespan should have ended a decade ago. I am only still alive because I was too worried about you. But now that the Mu Clan has regained its strength, I can be at peace. But Moira, if you want the clan to regain control of the Dragon Master Clan, you shouldn't rely solely on fighting. There are other ways to gain control, like winning the support of the people. You have always been a very competitive child, but if you want to be the top leader of the clan, you have to consider the future of the entire Dragon Master Clan. You almost put the Mu Clan in danger again. I had to come out to stop you," Malcom said to Moira in a more serious tone.

"I'll heed your words, Father, and try to be a better leader," Moira said with a nod.

"And Marcia, it was you I was most worried about. My only wish was for you to find someone to whom you could entrust your life, and now, it seems like my wish has finally been fulfilled." As Malcom spoke,

he turned to Rocky.

"No! I won't let you leave us like this. It wasn't easy to see you, Father." Marcia shook her head, unwilling to accept the situation.

Malcom sighed. "Young man, I will entrust my daughter to you from now on. You removed the curse seal inside her body, which means you will also be able to protect her from anything that comes her way. And remember, everything has its cause and effect. Unlike what everyone believes, the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in your body does not belong to the Dragon Master Clan. It comes from a mysterious ancient land that even the spiritual race fears to step into. At that time, it was my father who brought the Holy Dragon Bead back to the Dragon Master Clan from that mysterious ancient land. But later, my father found that the bead actually had very evil power, so he deliberately sent it to the Holy Dragon Empire to avoid being obtained by the evil members of any spiritual race. However, I did not expect that you, with your human body, can actually merge the power of the bead. You also undid the curse seal in Marcia's body. This is destiny." Malcom's eyes gleamed; it looked nothing like the gaze of a dying man.

Rocky pondered over his words. The people of the Holy Dragon Empire firmly believed that the Holy Dragon Bead, like other Dragon Spirit Beads, belonged to the Dragon Master Clan. But now, he was hearing a different origin story from this old man. And there was no one else who could confirm this. Only a few spiritual masters, including Malcom's father, knew about the origin of the bead. Moreover, those spiritual masters had already passed away. Malcom was the only one alive who knew the truth behind the bead.

"So, the Holy Dragon Bead is a treasure taken from a place where even the spiritual race is afraid of entering? Where is this ancient land?" Rocky asked curiously.

"It would be better if you don't know. You should seal the spiritual treasures in your possession. Don't let the nine spiritual treasures gather together. Once gathered, they will bring terrible disaster upon the world. Moreover, I suspect that some insidious people deliberately provoked disasters in the dark. So, you should absolutely make sure that they remain separated at all costs," Malcom reminded sternly.

Rocky nodded in understanding.

"And then, there is this..." Malcom looked at the spirit-manipulated beast with a heavy sigh. "I cannot fathom the origin of this beast. But I can tell you that it is not inferior to the legendary guardian beast in any way; it may even be stronger. It is an incomprehensible existence. I feel it has something to do with your extraordinary power. Your soul power is very strong; you may have changed the beast by your superior soul power. Of course, there must be a reason for the existence of this beast," Malcom said, looking at Uriah who was standing beside Rocky.

"I see..." Rocky replied.

"Have you forgotten our conversation from earlier? You used your strength beyond the limit of your body again. As I said before, the consequences of this will be very serious. Remember my warning!" he reminded sternly again, looking right into Rocky's eyes.

"That was you..." Rocky finally realized that it was Malcom's voice he had heard in the cave of the Dead Valley—the voice that had told him that Basil's soul still existed.

"Father, is something wrong with Basil?" Marcia asked suspiciously.
