Chapter 824 Sylvianna’s Nemesis

"So, did you kill Visraul?" Jin Rou asked. Although he didn't mind if Visraul was dead or alive.

"Our family has ancient ways of making people experience something worse than death. It'll be good for him since he likes running away." Sylvianna spoke. It seemed normal to them to treat their enemies that way.

Han Li, of course, knew something about it. It smiled, "It looks like you want to be vicious just like how your family was."

"I have to. Or else, those people would think that I'm an easy target." Sylvianna snorted, "Besides, you just made an enemy out of Temporal Void. He left a seal in Visraul's body. If ever he died, vital scenes will be sent to him. For sure, he already received it."

"I already expected that." Jin Rou said, "One way or another, I will kill the saints. So it's better this way."

"Temporal Void isn't an easy target, you know." Sylvianna warned, "Back during our glorious days, Temporal Void is a threat to us despite being a single entity."

"That's why your family succumbed to your fate." Jin Rou shook his head, "Your family is the strongest, that's true. But in the face of mighty heavens, you face down. Take this from me who fought heavens eight times. You cannot deal with a high wall unless you break it."

Sylvianna didn't comment on this. Her family used to be the strongest existence ever. They were even praised as a family that could challenge the heavens. However, things weren't always like that. Not all the times, they'd remain up above.

He paused for a moment and added, "Temporal Void is your greatest nemesis who you should wish to die. On your behalf, I will do it. Saints are not even gods yet. And the gods? They're just all bunch of fakes. That old man is the real god out there."

"With your preparations, how certain are you to win this challenge?" Sylvianna asked in curiosity. This will be the last attempt and Han Li was more eager in his preparations.

"Not yet enough. I still need a few things before it's complete." Jin Rou answered, "I guess, the oldest scroll of this plateau might help me."

"You're robbing here?" Sylvianna almost choked on her saliva. It felt like Han Li was in his own turf and ready to get anything he wanted.

"Many people here are smart." Jin Rou chuckled and left. Sylvianna returned to Jin Rou's living space and slept. She used her power right now, so it's making her more sleepy.

Jin Rou arrived at a barren lake located in the west of Soaring Plateau. This place was forbidden and those who break the rules would be punished severely. But since he's Jin Rou, who could stop him?

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The guards were alerted, "This is an offlimits place, go back."

"Silence." Jin Rou walked past them and all of them fell asleep. The guards situated here were mere weak ones only since they were confident no one would dare enter this extremely dangerous place.

After walking for an hour, Jin Rou found a large ancient tree. Han Li was very familiar with this place as he visited this many times in the past.

But before he could walk nearer, a line of owls in human size blocked his way. They were all glaring at Jin Rou with deadly eyes.

"Li, you have robbed us dry already. Go back or else we will not hesitate to retaliate even if it kills us!" The human owls puffed. They were all determined to do a death match against Jin Rou.

,m Jin Rou smiled wryly. He even felt pity for the owls. Han Li really had them dry. Their resources were robbed by Han Li without hesitation so many times that it made their ancestors puke blood.

It was normal that he wasn't welcome here anymore.

"I'm not here to rob you." Jin Rou still had to act cooly in front of them, "I'm just here to ask questions."

"Questions your ancestors!" One owl cursed, "You will rob us even if we answer them. We will never believe you again! You just want our oil crystals, but no!!!"

The oil crystals were a unique resources that only these owls could create because of their vein. Han Li used the crystals in the past to activate his treasures and his cannon. In all eight challenges, Han Li also robbed them eight times.

Jin Rou massaged his temple. Han Li was too greedy in the past that it's making things difficult for him. He thought of a way and said, "How about I return most of your oil crystals as the compensation for the troubles?"

"We will never— what did you say?" The leader of the group was astounded. This greedy man was going to return the remaining oil crystals? "Did the sun rise in the west today?"

"I'm serious. Actually, I have them in my storage. It's about 374 oil crystals." Jin Rou stated. The owls could only create 30-50 oil crystals per a few generations. 374 was a terrifying amount. Han Li surely dried them up per challenge.

"Are you serious?" The owls were baffled. What went wrong with this man's head? 374 oil crystals were still a horrifying amount, albeit not enough to pay them. It's still a huge help for them now that they're experiencing shortage.

"Of course. To express my sincerity, please receive this pouch." Jin Rou threw the pouch containing the crystals to the owls.

Then they checked the contents and found out that it's truly 374 oil crystals!

"You're scheming something, Li." The leader was suspicious, "You are not a good man. You are the devil of these worlds."

"I'm not scheming something, can you please calm down?" Jin Rou rolled his eyes, "I just want to ask a few questions and I'll leave. The crystals are also yours too."

"The crystals are ours, to begin with." One owl snorted.

The owl leader hushed the owl who said it and looked at Jin Rou carefully. After a while, he nodded, "Very well, I will answer your questions as long as I know them."
