Chapter 625: Jin Rous Arrival (1/2)
Everlasting Sage was clearly tempted about the offer. After all, the offer talked about their survival. Thinking throughly, there was no reason for the sage to decline this generous offer. The only thing that stopping him was, would the Great Master do what he promised?
While the rod was truly important and essential for them to work on a foothold here in Immortal, it was the same as taking over the world and uprooting any potential threats to the incoming dynasty. How could the Great Master let the sages go and the others? It would only expose him to a greater threath potential in the near and far future.
It wouldn't be good for someone who was establishing a foothold here. Thus, would the Great Master really be willing to part for such an opportunity to gain this rod?
”Sage, if you're thinking about us going back to our word, you can rest assured.” Visva could determine what the other party was thinking and he said, ”We might be darkness but we don't go back on our word. Not to mention, it is the Great Master's will.”
This hold some credibility, at the very least.
”Now that the Great Master is giving you a chance of survival, you should treasure it. After all, whether you agree or not, that rod will still be ours to take.” Visva added, chuckling.
He was speaking the truth. The master would be hell bent on this item and for sure would do everything to get this. Even if the world needed to be turned upside down, he'd do it. For the future prospect and success of the clan, he wouldn't mind spending all of his remaining resources for the capture of this item.
Everlasting found Visva's words reasonable. They would take this rod whether he liked it or not. It was just a matter of how would he want to play things. In this deal, he had no option to decline and take away the item.
”I have to turn the offer, then.” Everlasting's answered stumped the whole crowd.
He already knew the situation and he still chose to reject after that generous offer? Did he think that he could defeat all of them by relying on the rod's power?
The Great Master's eyes shone with bright red light, crossing the realms of Nirvana, ”I have expected that the capable Everlasting Sage is an intelligent human being. I guess I overestimated you that much.”
After that, his presence disappeared.
”It looks like you have to die here, then.” Visva was disappointed in the sage's answer, ”You can now blame yourself for not being able to save others. You disappointed us.”
”If you're going to attack, then attack. You talk so much.” Everlasting steeled himself and said, ”Come all of you. Let's see how will you take this item from me.”
It was not like the sage was dumb for actually rejecting a good offer. It was already a matter of survival and he should be decisive enough to know what's the best course of action. Unfortunately, how could he give up the item for a mere empty promise? They were vicious and evil beings. How could he trust their words? He'd rather throw this rod away and never to see the light again rather than letting them have it!
