191 Revenant Heavenly Sec (1/2)
”Alright.” Since Jin Rou was not in a hurry, he agreed. After all, he still had some several days left before his departure. And if ever he became short in time, he could just use his gate to teleport to the physicians guild.
He paused for a moment and asked Ku Ming, ”What business do you have here?”
For traveling so far like this, Jin Rou knew that it must be an urgent matter. After all, the distance was so far, that it already reached another continent.
”Ah, it's just some business deal, and I was tasked to carry this on.” Ku Ming said, ”We badly need it for a certain person in our clan.”
Jin Rou looked at Ku Ming. This certain person seemed to be the rumored First Ming Ancestor of the Ancient Ming Clan. Now, he was more curious about what type of item that the First Ming Ancestor needed. Was it something like the compass?
Seeing that there was no response from Jin Rou, Ku Ming added, ”Well, that item is very vital in order to extend that certain person's lifespan. Though it was only a substitute for that certain item.”
”Certain item?” Jin Rou asked.
”Yes, the elders of my clan gave a mission to retrieve the item from a very very far away place. However, a word had reached me that they had failed to retrieve that.” Ku Ming answered, ”So this item that I was about to deal with, is something that could be a substitute to extend one's lifespan.”
Lang Zing could not help but join the conversation, ”There is an item as magical as that? If that's the case, it can really help any dying Immortal Emperors?”
”Of course. Would I be taking this so much trouble if it's not that important?” Ku Ming said, ”I need to get that item no matter what. If I need to use my status in the clan, I will use it.”
”But those people who possess it, I don't think you can intimidate them that much.” Jin Rou said realistically, ”They are beings that could possess such a powerful item. It means that they have the capability to protect it.”
”I know that, Youngmaster Jin.” Ku Ming smiled, ”But I am Ku Ming, the future clan master of the Ancient Ming Clan. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, Youngmaster Jin, an Immortal Emperor, is present here.”
Ku Ming had never felt any jealousy for Jin Rou possessing such power at a very young age. He always believed in himself and knew that he would reach a realm greater than what the First Ming Ancestor had reached. In fact, he was already planning what to do when he ascended to the Outer Heaven. Although he was a bit wary because of Jin Rou's temper, he believed that Jin Rou would not do something silly like hurting him. After all, Ancient Ming Clan had his back. Unless Jin Rou wanted to suicide, he better think twice first before touching him.
Besides, Ku Ming was badly itching to find out who was that insolent being who killed Lai Ming. When the word from the Ancient Ming Clan had reached him, it greatly infuriated him, wanting to skin that person alive. If ever he would get the chance, he would personally skin that man alive.
”I'm not planning on helping you with your business.” Jin Rou said coldly, ”But if you have the capability to take advantage of me, I would not mind.”
”Ah, what capability? I am no match against Youngmaster Jin.” Ku Ming shook his head and smiled wryly. Really, what could he show against an Immortal Emperor?
