Chapter 467: Stone Heart

The clan head thought of this. He sighed and said, "Okay, we'll do it your way. But if you aren't able to kill the emperor, then we have the right to back off from it."

"That's no problem." Jin Rou smiled, "If I don't manage to kill him, then feel free to think that our deal is off."

Hearing this, the clan head was relieved. He thought that Jin Rou would do everything to keep them in check. But it looked like he was wrong. Anyway, he just needed to his job as Jin Rou was going to do the most part.

In actual fact, his clan was going to reap so many rewards and benefits if this plan worked. Just imagine, being the next imperial clan to everyone here was giving the clan head extreme pride and joy. After all, they were finally released from the clutches of these people.

Furthermore, if that young man was stronger than everyone else, then their position would be stabilized. No one would dare to do the same thing they did. If this were to succeed, this would be the first time that a ruler clan had been overthrown.

"Since it's settled, I'm going now." Jin Rou stood up and looked at the clan head stretching his arm, "It's nice having a business deal with you. I hope we will have a long time contract with this."

"That will depend on how things will go tomorrow." The clan head said with a smile, clearly indicating something.

"But of course." Jin Rou laughed a bit and left.

After the first elder saw Jin Rou left, he immediately approached the clan head and said, "Do you think it's the right choice to choose?"

The clan head didn't answer immediately. He looked at the deep sky first and said, "Nico, you are worrying for nothing. Do you think that if I decline, we can take him on?"

"Why? Our Tabler Clan has the toughest defense to boot!" The first elder was surprised by the clan head's question, "Even the emperor needs to walk away with distorted expression because he couldn't destroy our barriers."

"The emperor and that man is different. There's an actual vast different between them." The clan head said, "The former is but a 13 crowns. But the latter has the surpassed the zenith realm. So, tell me. Do you think we have the chance to survive if we face such monster?"

"Surpassed zenith realm... do you mean that man is a...!" The first elder was stupefied.

"Yes. He is a universal law." The clan head confirmed this speculation when he accepted the handshake with Jin Rou. He was experienced enough to determine if a person was hiding his real power or not by touching them.

"!!" These words horrified the entire circle of elders. Earlier, they were planning to fight Jin Rou but the clan head stopped them. It looked like their clan head have already had some speculations thus he stopped them. If he didn't, their heads would roll for sure and their clan might face extreme genocide.

"That's why this is the right choice." The clan head said, "Besides, isn't it a good thing? That a universal law is backing up our clan. That's worth a billions of years of luck. Whether he has ulterior motives or not, if he wants to kill us, he will not hesitate to to do that."

The elders gulped a mouthful of saliva. They were grateful because their clan head had eyes. Because if not, they might be the sinners of their clan.

Jin Rou had gone for a random big tree to rest on. He wanted to meditate and gather the power of heaven and earth before the battle. Though this battle might be troublesome, he was confident in killing the emperor.

A few hours passed, it's already midnight and Jin Rou was still meditating. Then suddenlya figure appeared out of nowhere.

Jin Rou opened his eyes a bit and didn't reveal any expression, "I didn't expect to see you again and in this kind of time at that, Princess Shale."

"Jin, let me ask you something." The princess didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Are you the perpetrator behind my brothers' and mother's death?"

Her voice was shaky as if she gathered so many strength to ask this.

"So what if I did?" Jin Rou asked as if it was a small matter.

"Are you nuts?! Have you gone out of your mind?!" The princess shouted like a wild beast with rage and hatred, "Why would you people of my family? What's in it there for you? You want to rule our universe, is that it?"

"Your universe is too small for me to be happy." Jin Rou said with an ice-cold tone, "And you are out of this mess. You should stay away from the rest of your family. I'm going to collect debts tomorrow. So try to avoid me."

"You want me to watch my father die by watching by the sidelines?" The princess asked with a nervous voice. She wasn't expecting to receive such words from Jin Rou.

"That's right. Watch by the sidelines. You don't need to die for a crappy family like you have." Jin Rou said as he closed his eyes once again.

Jin Rou paused for a moment and continued, "And I'm telling you, don't cross swords with me. This is my warning for you because I don't want you to die a useless death."

"It is your choice. But remember, I have already warned you." Jin Rou said, "Your life and death has nothing to do with me. Whether you live or die won't change the fact that your family will be gone for good."

Hearing this, hearing how stone hearted Jin Rou was talking, she could feel that her illusions of him had suddenly broken down and shattered into pieces, passing and being carried by the wind.

For some reason, it made her hear break and bleed that she wanted to cry for an unknown reason.
