Something must have happened. Jin Rou speculated. The Yu would never do such reckless move without a valid reason. The Yu was a powerful lineage in the Central God Region, and many sects and clans didn't dare antagonize them. Although they had many enemies, those didn't blatantly provoke them.
After all, the Yu Clan's prowess was visible to everyone.
'It seems I have to pay a visit when I go there.' Jin Rou took a deep breath. Honestly, he didn't want to but Han Li's emotions were affecting him so he would probably make time to go.
"Before them, who challenged that old man?" Jin Rou asked. Aside from a very few existences who would dare, he could think of secret sects that had the ability to challenge that god.
"After your last challenge, the joint alliance of Severe Storm Bringer and Thunder Dragon was made. They brought their top emperors and saints to challenge that old bastard." Old Man Lincon responded, "But as you can imagine, they also failed."
That challenge created deep pits and damages around Central God Region. Just imagine, the joint alliance dispatched their strongest ancestors, emperors, and saints to actually grab a slim winning chance against that existence.
"At the very least, they grew guts inside their bodies." Jin Rou spoke. He was familiar with the two superpowers and he even had a bit of connection with them, "They didn't run away and faced the problem head on."
Severe Storm Bringer dispatched four Era Emperors and two Epoch Saints by that time. While Thunder God moved Five Era Emperors and one Epoch Saint. Not to mention this, tens of Immortal Vajras also appeared.
Yet this lineup was totally annihilated like mere flies. Though they resisted, the ending result didn't change.
"These superpowers will have a hard time recuperating their losses." Jin Rou shook his head. It might be impossible to recuperate from these losses even after millions of years.
"Yes, their descendants are all hiding now somewhere in Mortalis." Old Man Lincon said, "The future is too drastic for them. That's too bad."
? "Since when did you become so sentimental? It's not like you have connections with them." Jin Rou said to liven up the mood, "They are all grown ups. And for sure, the ancestors left some capable seeds to guide them. It might take too long, but they will rise once again."
Fall and rise of sects were inevitable. Once they rise, eventually they would fall. And once they fell, eventually they would rise. It's just a matter of time and luck.
"So, what's your plan?" The old man asked, "I can help you a bit when the time comes, but don't expect too much of me. Of course, there will be no payments. I'm just fed up seeing you so I might lend a hand during your war with him."
"Oh? The Lincon of the Ancient Times is willing to do service for free?" Jin Rou said, "Can you even endure the punishment for unbinding the restrictions?"
In truth, the old man could go out of this place. However, he first had to make sure that he could endure the punishment for that. It was the scary part, as even he wouldn't leave unscathed there.
"Well, do you have a treasure that could deduce the punishment power?" The old man rolled his eyes. Naturally, he could endure it. But after this, he wouldn't be able to get out again for a long time.
"Say no more." Jin Rou laughed and took out an armor plate and helmet. It looked simple but the origins of it was more than a person could imagine. With a rusty appearance, it actually looked like an aged armor stuck in a place.
Old Man Lincon's eyes widened and said, "You. Where did you get this?"
The plate and helmet should have disappeared a long time ago with no chance of being traced. How come it was in Jin Rou's possession?
"I always have my means, you see." Jin Rou chuckled, "What might be impossible to get is possible for me as long as I pay the right price."
"You jest. This treasure does not have a worth in terms of money." The old man snorted, "But this will actually help me decrease the punishment."
He looked at Jin Rou suspiciously and said, "It looks like you already calculate every possible angles even before you come here."
"Just lucky." Jin Rou smiled.
The old man didn't buy the reason. He went inside the kitchen and prepared something for the other party. After ten minutes, a hot soup sparkling features appeared by Jin Rou's front.
Then, the old man poured a wine from his hidden collection in a small glass. The wine aged for too long now so its taste must be the best.
"These are on the house. Now eat and shoo away." The old man snorted and returned back to his seat.
Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh by the attitude of the old man. Nevertheless, he accepted the gesture and eat the soup slowly.
Just in between, two people entered. One was a young pretty girl and the other was a woman in maid outfit. The former had an arrogant aura surrounding her, in which Jin Rou had already known what type of person was she.
"Old Sir, I thought that you aren't selling something. Why did this commoner have some?" The pretty girl named Alija said. Her tone was full of grievances.
However, the old man ignored her. The maid behind was angered and shouted, "Old Man, my lady is speaking to you. Do you know who is she? Show some respect!"
Sylvianna entered the store again and found these two ignorants causing a scene. She sneered and returned outside knowing that the stinky smell didn't change. Those two were just courting death, so why would she care?
The old man didn't answer but Jin Rou, "This is on the house. He has not sold anything."
Alija didn't buy this as she saw the menu by his side, "You dare tell a lie in front of me?"
