199 Sea Princess (1/2)

What Lang Zing said made sense. The Sea Ancient Race was a powerhouse that survived the erosion of time, surviving all the storms that crashed on them. It might probably sounded exaggerated. But there were tons of records regarding this said race and rumored that other than the seven alive Immortal Emperors residing in the race, they also held a few sure-win trump cards being hidden in their arsenal. Of course, only a few of a very few in their race knew them. Nevertheless, it wasn't proven yet.

And now, Jin Rou wanted to go into a place where the Sea Ancient Race deemed to be forbidden. What level of audacity did it need to say these words? Perhaps if it's some First-Generation Immortal Emperor, he would not be shocked by this. After all, they already stood at the summit of this world. And in fact, the said race might welcome him. But what about Jin Rou, who was not even in his 30s yet? Although he could be seen as a rare genius of this world as he was now an Immortal Emperor, it was not up to the point where the proud Sea Ancient Race would comply with anything he wished.

”Now, do you understand Young Master Jin? The terrifying reality you will face if you really insist in going to the Forbidden Island!” Lang Zing said, his face filled with worry. He idolized Jin Rou so much that it would bring him heartache if ever something happened to him.

Jin Rou pondered for a moment and smiled, ”No matter what, just like I said, I need to go. And no one, even that Sea Ancient Race, will stop me.”

Lang Zing almost fell from the chair as he heard these words. He did not dare to believe that Jin Rou could actually said something like this! Not to mention, what he said was purely looking down in the Sea Ancient Race! He felt that Jin Rou was pulling his leg this time. What if a member of the race had heard his words? Easy death would be a light punishment and maybe he would be dragged down as well. Thinking this, he shuddered uncontrollably and tried to throw the thought at the back of his head.

Seeing the reaction of Lang Zing, Jin Rou could not help but chuckle, saying, ”I say Lang Zing, You don't need to accompany me if you feel like your life will be threatened. In fact, I will be very happy if you go back home and cultivate obediently.”

Lang Zing cleared his throat and hid the reaction he just made and disagreed, ”What are you saying, Young Master Jin? I don't want you to be lonely so I am accompanying you no matter what. Although it indeed terrifies me when I think about the Forbidden Island, but this is, in fact, a thrilling adventure for me!”

Jin Rou just smiled and did not reply anymore.

As they finished their meal and left the bar, they noticed that there were tons of people gathering in an arena they passed by, mostly men. Curious enough, Lang Zing asked one of the bystanders, ”Brother, what is going on? Why there are so many people here?”

The middle-aged man looked at him with disdain and said, ”What a bumpkin you are! Each and everyone is aware of the news yet you have not yet caught wind of it? What kind of grave did you pop out from?”

Lang Zing smiled wryly and answered, ”Brother, I just arrived today so we don't know anything at all.”

”Oh.” The man realized that it was indeed not weird to not know if they just arrived a while ago. He then answered, ”Today will be a big announcement from the Sea Ancient Race and said that the Sea Princess will be the one who will announce the news to us. So us, fans of the Goddess, is here to hear what she has to say. They also said that they will announce it here in the Arena of Clear Waters.”
