Chapter 536: Straw Ancient Emperor (2/2)
”No can do.” However, an old woman appeared and answered. She was wearing a black robe with a unique style of design. It had a mixture of black and yellow hue which complemented each other so much, ”Since an emperor has appeared, it is only natural for me to appear.”
She paused for a moment and examined the three visitors before saying, ”I am one of the Darkglow Clan's Ancient Emperor, Archer.”
”Archer Ancient Empress, it's nice meeting you.” Lucas bowed to the empress and said. In terms of seniority, the empress was way older than him so he must do this, ”However, please grant us entry. I will put my name and life at stake that if ever we caused trouble, you can punish me.”
The empress creased her brows. She was wondering why would this young, talented, and brilliant emperor of this era was taking lengths to enter the place? Nevertheless the less, she still answered, ”Straw Ancient Emperor, you have my admiration for your talents but as our iron law, no one is to be granted entry in our turf. So, please go back from whence you came.”
It was a proper rejection this time. But it still felt bitter in Lucas' mouth. If ever he pushed this matter again, the empress might be angered and attack them. If that happened, Jin Rou would surely take action and kill her, leading to a serious conflict that couldn't be fixed. By that time, it was a dead end and the only choice was to attack directly.
He didn't want that to happen. He wanted to do this diplomatically. After all, the Darkglow Clan was a behemoth that stood above all!
”This nonsense is getting in my nerves.” Finally, Jin Rou spoke and Lucas almost lost his soul, ”You are but a mere emperor that has no chance to live past 500 years now. Why are you so adamant in sticking up in your rules? Oh I see, you folks are afraid that a secret of your clan will be revealed.”
The empress was about to get angry but when she heard the last part, she felt her body shook. She looked at Jin Rou with disbelief and gave answers to Jin Rou's speculations.
”Bingo.” Jin Rou was right. It was just a wild guess in his part yet it was right. Although it was only a brief moment that the empress showed that pale face, he managed to catch it.
”Now, instead of you doing the talk. Why don't we invite that old man heavenly above watching silently here?” Jin Rou looked at the sky and smiled.
”Old man heavenly?” Lucas was surprised to hear these words. Did it mean that...
”Hahaha!” Suddenly, an old laugh resounded, ”Child, I like you. You can easily see through me and my cultivation. You must be a powerful young man. You have my greatest admiration.”
Then, an old man appeared. Unlike the empress, this old man had great vitality running into his veins as if he was youth.
Lucas and Tiresh could feel an intense pressure coming from this being. The emperor's instincts were telling him not to antagonize him or else he would die!
