Chapter 361: Death Island (1/2)

The world was deeply astounded and terrified when a bad news came knocking to their doors. The Endless River had failed, and it was an utter defeat against the clan! These people were those who wished for the river to succeed, especially the dying ones who reached the top level of their cultivations.

However, after digesting the news, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Perhaps it was hopeless from the start. No, it was really hopeless even at the beginning. After all, who was their enemy? It was a giant that stood above all, the ruler of heavens. Though the river had prepared well for the fight, they still didn't amount to something in face of an overlord.

The few sects and clans who decided to lend a hand to the river immediately closed their doors and retrieved all their members back to their territory, closing their doors to anyone. As the river was no more, the Templar Clan would surely pursue this matter, diving into the deeper well of this plan. So of course, the clan would know about the ties and deals of the certain forces.

While the world was in an uproar, Jin Rou had already got the item that his family had kept in the Templar Clan for millions of years now.

”Thank you.” Jin Rou expressed his gratitude to the ancestors for their fast responses. Within that day, they managed to got the item fast because of their combined efforts. As 13 laws joining together to unlock some powerful formations, the result was better than Jin Rou expected.

”Your Majesty, it is us who should be grateful to you.” Lu Ancestor spoke. The other two ancestors also revealed their agreement and said, ”If not for your assistance, this might be harder than we expected.”

What the ancestor said was true. The enemy had a real stardao cultivator and had the capability to summon a being of transcendence-level temporarily. If the clan had faced them, they would surely just seek for their immediate deaths. Though their clan also had a stardao-level of existence, it wasn't enough to fight against a transcendence. Just in terms of raw power, the latter had already won the bout.

Thus, their gratitude had already reached the heavens. If not for the fact that Jin Rou was stopping them from kneeling, they had already kowtowed on the ground. This debt was so vast that they knew they couldn't pay it off even if they sell their whole assets.

”It was natural. Since I am here, I might as well help you if I can.” Jin Rou smiled, ”Besides that, the enemy has become a threat to the family, so it's given that I will take action. So you don't need to be so thankful to me, really.”

”It's not possible.” Lu Ancestor shook his head, ”Your Majesty, if you ever need our help, just ever, please don't hesitate to tell us. We are prepared to dive into a boiling water if they needed. We may be old bones now but our dao is powerful.”

Jin Rou wanted to say no. However, seeing the determined faces of them, he could only sigh and smile wryly before finally conceding, ”Alright, I'll take note of that.”

The ancestors expressed their thanks when they heard this.

Jin Rou chatted with them for a little while before finally leaving the clan. He wanted to go into a certain place before going back home.
