The 4th point was a critical stage of a Danger Zone. After all, it was a point before the final one. Of course, clearing the final point was harder than the previous point.
It's not just a simple stage, so it had to be planned meticulously or else Fog would just waste his life and the ones he were with there.
"What do you suggest?" Fog asked. Since it's Han Li who spoke, it held a heavy credibility thus Fog believed him and asked for an opinion. Remember, Han Li was an old monster that even many forefathers of legacy sects and academies were afraid of crossing.
As a matter of fact, even Fog didn't want to be on the bad page of Han Li's book. If to say he happened to provoke the other party, all his choice was to run as fast as he could.
"You love making business transactions, right?" Jin Rou smiled and looked at Fog.
"And?" Fog raised his brow in curiosity.
"Since that's the case, I have a proposal for you." Jin Rou stood up and said, "I can help you clear the Glory Sky."
Fog was stumped to hear this. If Han Li was really going to help him clear it, it just meant that Han Li would be coming over and assist him to clear it. Furthermore, with Han Li's help, the chances of victory and survival was raised to above certainty of high.
Countless person asked for Han Li's assistance and only a very few could actually make him move. Unfortunately, Fog wasn't one of them. However, Han Li was suggesting this by himself? Of course, it wasn't for free.
There's no free lunch in this world, after all.
"So what will you get in return?" Fog asked the most important question. Since the other party threw an olive branch, it'd be a shame if he didn't grab onto it, right?
"Good question. I want to have item you got from the Sinister Cold Era." Jin Rou was smiling as he said these words.
Fog didn't answer immediately. He knew that item very well and he didn't even use it for his own benefit for once since it's too precious. But now, Han Li was asking for it?
Upon careful pondering, Fog sighed and said, "Okay, you have a deal. But the ultimate treasure will be mine."
That item from Sinister Cold Era was precious. But the benefits and ultimate treasure of Glory Sky outweighed everything else.
"No problem." Jin Rou smirked. The ultimate treasure hidden in Glory Sky was useless to him anyway. So he had no interest in it. He was just interested to what kind of deity it had.
Fog used to be the devil, always getting the longer end of the stick. But right now, he felt he was losing something for a short end. If he was a devil, then Han Li was a devil emperor who oversee the entire race.
"Since that is settled, I want you to never visit any of my guardians, no?" Jin Rou could see that Fog was plotting something thus he invited Aida to help him clear the zone. He had some assumptions about this but refrained from telling so.
"The strongest person is going to come with me to clear the Glory Sky. What could I ask for more?" Fog chuckled and said, "You have my word. I won't near them again."
Jin Rou looked at Fog with suspicious gaze but let it go, "Do you know who's the deity of Glory Sky?"
All the Danger Zones had one deity guarding them. And in order for it to be cleared, they had to kill the deity inside of it. Speculations spread that the deities inside the zones were immortals from the Heavens. But it wasn't proven or whatsoever.
But there was one thing that the people were certain of. The deities of the zone were here to control the balance of the world.
"No one has yet to reach the 5th point, so no one knows who is the deity there and what kind it is." Fog shook his head.
"That's too bad, then." Jin Rou smirked. Unlike Fog, he knew who was the deity inside the Glory Sky. That's why he's very confident in offering his assistance right now.
Remember, Han Li's memories amounted up to many trillions of years. It was not an exaggeration if he said he knew almost everything about the world that should be known. He knew the answers to the questions which had been a block for cultivators.
Fog looked at Jin Rou with suspicious expression, "Do you know?"
"That's a secret." Jin Rou chuckled. He had no intention of saying anything or else it would spoil the fun.
Fog didn't ask more. Since the other party wasn't willing, he had no right to force it. On top of that, Han Li had an eccentric personality. He wouldn't even know how he'd die.
"I'm going back now." Jin Rou said after a long pause, "The academy is about to be attacked and I told them I'll help."
"The Dao Sword Academy?" Fog asked, "If it's you, those greedy beings will run away once they see you."
"That's why I'm not going to show myself unless it's necessary." Jin Rou sneered, "It's time to have another clean up of bad weeds in the Nine Heavens."
Fog could already see a bloody massacre happening though it wasn't yet happening. Han Li was known for killing anyone without batting an eye as long as it's for the good of the world. In fact, there was even a tragic incident in the past that had not been recorded by official records because of its severity of a scandal.
"I feel pity to those who are about to die by your hands." Fog wasn't a good person, he was evil to be exact. However, the definition of evil surpassed what Han Li was capable of.
Jin Rou looked at him by side eye and said, "If you want, you can help them to add more fun.. I want to see your arts before setting off for Glory Sky. What do you say?"
