Chapter 553: A Favor

Zacharite looked at Jin Rou who suddenly talked. His eyes creased as he observed the other party carefully, "Who might you be?"

Jin Rou smiled, "Just an insignificant person who's going to stop your daydreaming."

Jin Rou was very carefree when he said these words. It felt like it didn't matter that this demon existed in front of his eyes now.

"Hah, an insignificant person? Are you trying to pull a joke?" Zacharite smirked, "I know that you are stronger than the origins. But I can feel that you are still no match for me."

"Feel free to think what you think it really is." Jin Rou said, "That won't change the fact that you will be a dead man today."

"I have just been freed from my seal, why are you so taking a rush?" Zacharite said, "Let's talk a bit first. I want to feel the fresh and cool chaos dao here."

"Great. I have a few questions, too." Jin Rou said.

"Ask away. I'm in a good mood, so I will answer your questions depending on the severity of it." Zacharite smiled.

"Is it possible to go to the Great Hell?" Jin Rou started his question.

"It is possible only if you have a demon to guide you there. After all, Great Hell is the home of demons and great demons." Zacharite answered, "Why, do you think of going there and taking a stand?"

"I'm thinking of passing there by. I need to cross the Great Hell in order to reach the Upper Immortal." Jin Rou said. No matter what he do, he couldn't detect Schwal Coffin's aura here. There were three possibilities that he could think of. It's either she was on the Great Hell, or Upper Immortal. Or worse, she's already dead. Anyway, he needed to check it himself to confirm it.

"Upper Immortal, that are two big words." Zacharite snorted, "It is possible to go to the Great Hell, but the great demons there will not allow you or anyone to enter the Upper Immortal. No one in this Lower Immortal could enter that place, and that's an iron law."

Jin Rou expected this response. There might be a reason why it was like this and asked, "Why is it so?"

"Because it isn't permitted. Only the Great Demons of Hell can enter that realm." Zacharite said, "Those who dare to try entering the Upper Immortal without consent will be punished by death, no objections asked."

"Great Demons of Hell. Are they the one who manages the Great Hell?" Jin Rou asked. He needed an outline and background information of the place so that he could make preparations for his trip.

"Yes, precisely." Zacharite nodded, "They were the strongest demons of Hell and not even the powerhouses in the Upper Immortal would dare to offend them."

Jin Rou turned silent for a while. Seeing this, Zacharite sneered deep inside and said, "Do you still have any questions?"

"Not a question, I have a favor to ask." Jin Rou spoke after being silent for an entire ten minutes.

"Hah, favor. You're asking a demon a favor?" Zacharite found this laughable.

"I do. I am asking you, a demon, a favor." Jin Rou smiled, "Of course, you won't be getting the shorter end of the stick. I can promise that you will like what I can offer."

"So this is more of a deal rather than favor." Zacharite said.

"Perhaps, yes. Perhaps, not." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders, not giving the demon any clue.

"Interesting." Zacharite found this strange and interesting. This young man was supposed to be scared knowing the fact the Great Hell existed, not just a mere legend or folklore, and yet he showed no signs of it. In fact, there was no change in his expression which was unbelievable in a sense, "Let me hear this favor of yours."

Zacharite wasn't the type to entertain favors from others. But, he was willing this time since he was greatly interested on Jin Rou.

"I want you to take me to the Great Hell, and help me enter Upper Immortal." Jin Rou didn't sugarcoat any words and immediately said what he wanted to.

Zacharite almost choked his breath when he heard this favor and almost exploded, "I thought I told you that entering Upper Immortal will be impossible. Very impossible so don't think about it. Furthermore, I am already banished from the Great Hell so I don't even have an authority to let you enter there."

He was right. Since he was exiled, all of his rights were stripped off from him and no longer part of the Great Hell. As a matter of fact, if ever the demons saw him there, they would immediately kill him according to the grave order of one of the Great Demons, Belial.

"I know your current situation, so rest assured that I can guarantee your safety. Just take me there." Jin Rou assured Zacharite. At first, he was planning on killing this demon but he changed his mind knowing he could use him. He could kill him later on if he felt like it.

"Guarantee my safety?" Zacharite snorted, "As I can see things, I'm protecting you there in case I accepted your favor."

Jin Rou used his space manipulation to be in front of Zacharite in mere quarter of a second, then he showed a seal to the demon, "You know what this seal represents right?"

"!!!" Zacharite was horrified seeing this seal. As a high ranking demon, he was privy to the things that only great demons knew about. And this seal was one of them, "You..."

"Indeed, I am part of it." Jin Rou knew it. This demon had some knowledge about and confirmed his speculations, "Now, do you believe me that I can guarantee your safety?"

"..." Zacharite was silent for a moment before saying, "But I can only take you alone... I cannot take the two you are with. No, even taking you will be very difficult and suicidal but I'll try my best."

Zachariah no longer had the arrogance he showed a while ago. His expression was filled with fear and respect now for the other party.

"That's okay, I won't bring them in. They are not yet powerful enough to stand against the people there." Jin Rou said. If ever he took the Tiresh and Lucas, he would just be sending them to their deaths and he didn't want that to happen.
