146 Provocation (1/2)
As this chariot descended, revealing golden color effects, a familiar man in a dragon robe appeared from the chariot.
This was the Royal King, Zao Dong.
This scenario could not be called imposing nor arrogant, but it was not humble either. Jin Rou was surprised to see this guy here. After all, he should be busy preparing for the Sect Wars which his Royal Castle was the organizer. How could this man have the time to visit him at such a crucial time?
”Sectmaster Jin!” Zao Dong did not dare to show his arrogance in front of this young man after he saw the terrifying means and might of him, ”This King is here to personally give you a lift to the venue of the Sect Wars.”
”Royal King Zao, you don't have to this at all... you are busy, right? This is really not necessary.” Jin Rou smiled awkwardly. Of course, he also knew that this royal king would not be offering such a thing without any motives. In his mind, he already guessed that this royal king was trying to curry favor with him. After all, this man had seen his power when the Dragon Alliance attacked.
”Haha, Sectmaster Jin, you don't need to be polite with me.” Zao Dong laughed heartily, ”I have so much time that it already made me bored... so I thought to personally come here to offer you a lift. You will not turn this down, right?”
This cunning king... — Jin Rou smiled wryly. His guess had proven to be more correct by this. If someone heard that the royal king himself personally came to fetch the participants of a third-rate sect, what would be the reaction of them?
Well, it might not be much but they would surely be shocked. After all, the Royal King was someone who stood at the apex of this world in people's hearts. He was one step away to become an OverlordRealm cultivator. Although the words already spread about the complete carnage of the Dragon Alliance because of the LD Sect's sectmaster might, many of the people were not yet completely convinced since they only heard it from other's mouths. It was still better if they had seen with their own eyes. So they refused to believe about this... At most, they believed that the sectmaster had used an illusion. For those who personally saw the fight, they could not help it if they did not believe them. Thus, the royal king was still the invincible one in their hearts.
”Since you already put it this way, then I will not be polite.” Jin Rou smiled and called out the three disciples to enter the chariot, and bade farewell to Yuna Sierra and the others.
”Please...” Zao Dong gleefully got on the chariot last.

”We will be reaching the Castle's Dome in five minutes, Sectmaster Jin.” Throughout this entire journey, Jin Rou and Zao Dong had talked some things which were too complicated for the three disciples beside to understand. Part of their conversation was an alliance invitation from the Royal Castle. But Jin Rou put this matter aside and would talk about this after the Sect Wars come into conclusion.
Jin Rou only nodded in response as he casually looked into the distant horizon outside.
Five minutes later, the chariot had descended and came into a halt. This place was currently hidden and could not be seen by anyone who was not part of the Royal Castle. Soon, the people inside the chariot got off one by one.
Once the three disciples landed their gaze to their surroundings, they could not help but be in awe about this. It was filled with blossoming flowers and plants... swaying trees and such giving off a soft and comfortable feeling for them.
