"The path of the sages shall not be trampled upon; be it wise or none." Jin Rou murmured. Then, a white glow lightened the room. The space shook as the old shelf glowed with white light.
It had been millions of years since someone touched the shelf and now it's reacting with excitement. The books in it flew upwards and danced for a moment, encircling Jin Rou's countenance. Afterwards, they merged to each other creating one book engulfed in light.
"So long since Han Li has this." Jin Rou said. The book itself was a very heaven defying item that could help him defeat the heavens. With its power and mysteries, it was safe to said that his survival chance had increased exponentially.
Since the book created a phenomenon, the room couldn't contain it and many of it were leaked outside, making the people see what happened. Obviously, many people thought it was a treasure coming into being so they hurried over.
Young Master Blake spearheaded the group and saw Jin Rou not far away from him. He creased his brows and asked, "What's going on here? And how did you enter this place?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Jin Rou didn't answer him. He turned a deaf ear to it which enraged the young master, "I am asking what's going on. You don't dare ignore me, bastard!"
However, Jin Rou still didn't answer him. Veins bulged on his Blake's forehead making him extremely livid as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Since you want it that way, don't blame me for hurting you!"
"You moron better not move." Jin Rou finally said something and looked at Blake with cold eyes. It was an abyss of coldness to be exact, "You will be letting down your ancestors if you act like a clown. I'm here to take what's only mine, to begin with. And since I already got it back, I'll be leaving in a while. So scram before my patience runs out."
"I don't think that is fair." An ancestor said, "The book you're holding is obviously from here. If you can just name it to be yours, then what's the use of the Terrafilia's authority here?"
"It's Ancestor Zhou. The current bigshot of the Zhou Family leading the other river. I remembered he's here because he's supporting Young Master Blake to be betrothed to his niece." An spectator said. Since news traveled fast, many people knew about this.
"An alliance marriage, then. No wonder the ancestor is always visiting this place." His friend said.
Jin Rou didn't bother looking at the ancestor and focused on keeping the book. The light engulfing it was a security protection for thieves. Only Han Li was capable of removing the light.
"Ignoring me, huh?" Ancestor Zhou felt quite displeased by this show of arrogance. Remember, he was a powerful ancestor of the Zhou Family. With his status, many would like to hug his thighs and seek for his favors.
"Despite being old lineages with abundant resources, the descendants are all failures." Jin Rou shook his head and sighed, "I'll repeat this for the very last time, scram and don't let your face show in front of me again."
Jin Rou was trying to be merciful since Han Li had a connection with Terrafilia. He was already asking nicely by this point. If the other party still didn't know when to back off, blood may pool this place without hesitation.
Blake was about to burst out when Ancestor Zhou stopped him, "Let him be. There's something weird about him and I cannot pinpoint it. We have to be careful."
"But..." Blake was unwilling. After all, there's a treasure in the man's possession which was theirs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No buts. I know what to do." The ancestor tapped Blake's shoulder. They couldn't make a scene in this sacred place or else, that person would get angry.
Jin Rou smirked and left the room. Since they didn't make it difficult for him, he wouldn't do so either. It's just that he knew that these idiots wouldn't let it go like this.
In anyway, should they seek for him and try his patience, he wouldn't mind chopping their heads off. Terrafilia? Zhou Family? They were just a bunch of ants in Jin Rou's eyes. Not even the powerhouse governing the overall Flowing River would dare to cross his path.
Jin Rou left the Sky River Arena. He had already gotten his item back so there's no reason to stay here further. He was off to the last place he would visit here in the Floating River, and that was Endless River.
Endless River was very far from the Sky River. In fact, each river was very far from each other. It would take several months to a year to travel by horse and whatsoever. That's why there were teleportation arrays here, albeit at an expensive price.
Unlike the other rivers, Endless was a desolated place with no living beings living because it happened to be the battlefield of two epoch sovereigns of the time immemorial. Because of the aftereffects of the fight, the land here and river became gray and the water was poisonous. Fortunately, the lineage supporting the Flowing River managed to cut off the path connecting Endless to the other rivers or else everything would go down the hill. After all, the chemicals of the river here was lethal even to high leveled cultivators.
Jin Rou was walking here leisurely. It felt like he was strolling his own garden with ease. The air here was toxic but it couldn't affect Jin Rou. Han Li's body was immune to all types of toxicity even to the most lethal ones.
This place should have been a dead zone with no one able to enter. But Jin Rou knew that there's a certain one who could manage to survive in this extreme and harsh conditions. Furthermore, Endless was also the perfect place to live and hide.
After walking for an hour, Jin Rou arrived at an almost destroyed hut with the straws almost falling. Who would have thought that someone could actually live in this place? Jin Rou chuckled and decided to continue and entered it.
