201 Forbidden Island (1/2)
50 for an entire powerhouse and another 50 for the participants?
If this condition was presented by some ordinary sect, perhaps many would voice out their complaints and definitely not agree to it. After all, taking half of the said treasures for one's self is too over the board.
Unfortunately, it was the Sea Ancient Race. They were the strongest powerhouse of the entire Sea Continent, overseeing everything. With seven alive Immortal Emperors, who would dare offend them and disagree? Besides, if not for the first three Immortal Emperors ascending, they might have a full 10 Immortal Emperors residing the ancient race! Anyone with a bit of brain would already know that it's not a good choice to offend something this terrifyingly powerful.
Although the Sea Princess had said this, there were still some seniors who weren't convinced. They felt that there was something more than meets the eye. They just could not determine what is it. But it was certain that they were hiding something. With the strength of the ancient race, why would they need the power of tons of cultivators under them?
”And since I already said my piece, I will wait for everyone at the entrance of the Forbidden Island. Everyone is welcome to try their luck there! But of course, please be advised to bring at least an Immortal with you to ensure your safety. But Immortal Emperor is better.” The Sea Princess smiled once again before turning her back. After which, a glint of wickedness flashed right through her eyes. However, no one had noticed it.
Soon, the majestic palanquin along with the 10 figures disappeared out of thin air and everyone began to disperse. They must immediately prepare for the trip to the island.
”Young Master Jin, it seems like your luck is good this time.” Lang Zing said. If many people will come venture the island, then it would increase their chance of survival. And with the free entrance in 2 days, Jin Rou no longer needed to talk to the Sea Ancient Race regarding his matters and he could just proceed.
”Mnm.” Jin Rou nodded. It would save him less trouble and whatnot. However, he could not help but frown. The entire happenings were strange to the point that even he could sense a conspiracy being brewed. So he asked Lang Zing, ”What do you know about the ancient race?”
”From what I know, they are the race who's like they are humans, however, at the same they're not. They're living in the very deep part of the sea and it remained a mystery even until now. Since they're conducting their business above the sea, and they would immediately disappear in the thin void, no one even the Immortal Emperors knew the exact location of their place.” Lang Zing explained, ”Why are you asking this by the way?”
Hearing that there was no more clue that he could get, Jin Rou dropped the topic, ”Nothing. Let's go, we will set forth towards the Forbidden Island.”
