Jin Rou knew that they were waiting for him inside. He was thoroughly prepared so he didn't mind. However, Schwal was having a different opinion. They were walking straight towards the enemy's base without any plan, or so she thought, "Are we really going to barge in just like that?"
Jin Rou stopped and looked at Schwal, "What, are you afraid?"
"Of course I am!" Schwal didn't bother hiding her thoughts, "We're going to enter such a dangerous and unknown place. How can I not be frightened?"
"If that's the case, just stay put here while I deal with them." Jin Rou smiled, "I will settle the matter immediately so you don't have to wait long."
Schwal shook her head upon hearing this suggestions. How could she be left here without anyone she knew? She'd rather stick with Jin Rou than to be left around, "No. You have to take responsibility and protect me."
Jin Rou expected this answer and laughed, "Okay, so just be sure to be close enough to me so that I will be able to protect you."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter entering, what met Jin Rou and Schwal were three old men standing shoulder to shoulder to each other. All of them were wearing black and golden robes and the same bald heads. However, what was more distinguishing was the three long horns they had.
"Another grand welcoming for me?" Jin Rou's tone was filled with sarcasm.
"Daoist Friend, we will not beat into the bush." The ancestor in the middle spoke and came forward, "We are the ancestors of the Dark Clan and we are sure that by your eyes, you can see our capabilities even though we are already old."
Jin Rou didn't comment and waited for the next thing the ancestor wanted to say. But indeed, upon careful observation, these three ancestors were actually stronger than Intrad. Perhaps they were the top ancestors of this realm.
To think that the Dark Realm had so many strong beings. If Jin Rou wasn't here, the Immortal would surely succumb into the darkness.
Seeing the other party's indifferent expression, the ancestor continued, "We don't want more casualties so we want to negotiate with you. Name your price for sparing our descendant."
"I see, aside from you don't want to risk your lives and status here, you also don't want to lose the best genius you have as of now so you are willing to compromise." Jin Rou nodded as he rubbed his chin.
Although it wasn't pleasant to the ears, the middle ancestor nodded, "Yes. We can give you anything you want. Be it treasures, legendary scrolls, or whatsoever. We have tons of treasures that can even tempt a person of your level."
"Looks like you are quite confident." Jin Rou smirked. For sure, those treasures they spoke were something that they hid for millions of years as it could attract unnecessary attention.
"Indeed, we are. After all, we have gone to that place." The ancestor in the right spoke this time.
"That place? What do you mean by that?" Jin Rou asked in curiosity.
"The Fate World." The middle ancestor answered instead. This information shouldn't be actually leaked. However, they needed to everything to survive this catastrophe. Jin Rou himself was the catastrophe that could threaten their entire clan, "Us and our progenitor had an expedition towards that place to find resources and treasures to back our larging clan up. Old legends said that it was the most powerful world that had hiddenly existed in the most of the people's eyes. We emptied our treasuries just to make a trip there."
The middle ancestor paused for a moment and resumed, "That world is truly deserving to be the most powerful world. After all, it is being governed by various existences which call themselves 'Laws'. We were mere fishes on the chopping board there as everyone was so strong that we always need to run for our lives. Then, we discovered a treasury by coincidence and then we looted everything there. Fortunately, it has no enemies or whatsoever that prevented us from getting them."
"Fate World. Laws." Jin Rou engraved these words to his mind. This world perhaps was the turf of the few other universal laws. He was greatly interested in meeting them if there was a reason for doing so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright, you can stop now." The ancestor wanted to tell more but Jin Rou spoke, stopping him, "Everything you say will be useless as I'm still taking your lives here."
Jin Rou wouldn't return to this world. So he wanted to pull out the weeds before it became a troubling existence for the next generations.
The middle ancestor's expression didn't change. However, he was greatly surprised inside, "Daoist Friend, there is no good outcome if we fight. You might be strong, but you are in our territory which is very advantageous for us. We are willing to compensate you handsomely, so how about we take a step back and see the vastness of the world?"
"My answer will be the same. No." Jin Rou sternly said, "Now, if you want to survive, earn it by defeating me. I'll give you the chance to attack me with all you've got."
The ancestors were silenced. The middle ancestor sighed deeply and spoke with a cold tone, "It looks like amiable talk will not work on you."
Although they had expected this already, they still had a little hope that Jin Rou would change his mind. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case for this reality.
"Indeed. So attack me with all you got." Jin Rou urged the ancestors to attack, "I want to see how much powerful the ancestors of the Dark Clan are."
"Very well then, Daoist Friend. We will be entertaining you." The left ancestor said as he flew above, "We will give you what you want."
"Boom!" Then a black dragon appeared out of nowhere. Although it was only made by a formation, it was filled with power and hatred as it died feeling this. Compared to the formations Jin Rou encountered, this was the best and the rest looked like toys.
"Go, bring it on." Jin Rou's fighting spirit soared.. He was greatly expecting that the dragon could put up a decent fight.
