198 Sea Ancient Race

"What happened?" Lang Zing asked, confused. They were already out of the sect yet Ku Ming and Jin Rou did not utter any single word. Of course, with the heavy atmosphere he was feeling, he already deduced that the business was not successful. He just asked since he wanted to know what exactly happened inside.

After a long while of silence, Ku Ming finally broke the ice and answered, "Those bastards are not willing to trade the Thousand-Life Lotus with our Phixiu ring."

"How is that possible? That ring also came from the Outer World!" Lang Zing was dumfounded, although he already expected this kind of answer.

"I don't know either. But they always say that the our ring lacks something compared to their lotus so the trade won't be done unless I present something comparable to their lotus' worth." Ku Ming was very dejected. The last thing that they cling their hope to was now shattered into pieces. How could their ancestor prolong his life now? Every second, his lifespan was withering and it's only a matter of time before the ancestor passes away. Once the ancestor died, many enemies would bare their fangs against them. With no Immortal Emperor guarding their clan, what would be the result once enemies attack? They will lose in a horrific and miserable way. After all, they have a lot of enemies in Grivexia. Furthermore, even those who are friends with them would bite them in the name of benefits.

"So what are you going to do now?" Lang Zing asked worriedly. This was the first time Ku Ming showed this weak side of his. He was always arrogant and unyielding. But it seemed like this responsibility he was currently carrying was heavier than everything else.

"I will accompany Young Master Jin first to his destination and I will head back after." Ku Ming said. As he already said that he will accompany Jin Rou, he would stay true to his words. He was arrogant and sometimes unreasonable, but once he said something, he would stick to it no matter what.

"You don't need to." Finally, Jin Rou said something, "Since the transaction is a failure, you better return hurry and report it to your clan so that they can create measures as to what to do. It is utmost importance so it really did not matter if you accompany me or not."

"Young Master Jin is right." Lang Zing agreed, "You better get going now. Perhaps your clan might find other ways once again. With your resources there, I doubt they will find nothing at all."

Seeing that the two were already chasing him out, Ku Ming could only agree and said while handing green jade to Jin Rou, "Fine fine. But I will leave this communication jade with Young Master Jin so that if ever I want to contact you or you might want to contact me."

Jin Rou silently accepted it.

After a bit of talking, Ku Ming went the other direction and part ways with them.

"Lang Zing, why didn't you go home with Ku Ming? He said that your Terrace Everland Pavilion is on the way towards his clan and asked you if you want to go home already." Jin Rou dropped a random topic.

"Are you kidding me? It's not yet my time to return home. I will fulfil my needs first, like finding a wife and such." Lang Zing answered with honesty.

Jin Rou was momentary speechless towards this young master. How was that possible that he already wanted to marry at such a young age? In their realm, the right age to marry is 50 years old and above. In fact, there were cultivators also who got married after a hundred thousand years or two, depending on what fate permits.

"But you already used all of your protection beads in the space, so how will you protect yourself?" Jin Rou asked once again.

"Didn't I have you here?" Lang Zing spoke confidently, "So what's there to be afraid of?"

You are making me your guardian now? — Jin Rou thought to himself. However, he did not voice it out and just shut his mouth. Since Ku Ming was already gone, it's not right to chase Lang Zing away like a street beggar. If he really did that, then he would be a bit heartless, yeah just a bit. And furthermore, he had a good impression of the Terrace Everland Pavilion since one of the elders there personally went to the Physician Guild many days ago and interacted with him.

They stopped by at a bar which has only a few customers and ordered dishes. Lang Zing was already hungry the moment they stepped in the Sea Continent and up to now, he had yet to had his fill as the Revenant Heavenly Sect only served him a cup of black strong tea.

As they were eating, Lang Zing asked, "Young Master Jin, your destination is the Fobidden Island, right?"

"Yes." Jin Rou answered, "What about it?"

"Do you know how terrifying that place is?" Lang Zing asked once again.

"I don't, but I still need to go." Jin Rou smiled. He needed to go to that place so that he could return the compass to heaven and earth, and no longer be in the possession of anyone. After all, that compass was a very heaven-defying treasure that could either create a world of your own, increase your lifespan up to a hundred thousand years or raise your strength with a whole realm no matter what realm it was! For example, you are an Immortal Realm, the first level, if you use the compass for strength, once you absorb the heavenly qi of it, you will break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm!

No wonder this was Grivexia's most sought treasure! No one could resist its temptation at all. Of course, one should be capable enough to handle the strength of the compass for it to work.

"Forbidden Island is the most dangerous place in this world. It is guarded by the Sea Ancient Race, the strongest powerhouse of the Sea Continent! According to the records in our place, the Sea Ancient Race was already here the moment Grivexia was born and the Forbidden Island as well. They have been guarding the island since ancient time! And it is said that they have nurtured more than 10 Immortal Emperors and 7 are still alive! Not to mention, three of those are First-Generation Immortal Emperors. With this line up, you already know how terrifying they are, right?" Lang Zing said with all seriousness.
