Chapter 949 Domineering

At the Grand Courtyard, sunrise. Ancestor Triune was the first one to arrive. He was alone when he came here. Elder Sihun managed to convince the old man despite being in closed door training.

"I hope this will be beneficial to our sect, Sihun." Ancestor Triune said. He was wearing a blazing fire robe, "This better be worthy for me to actually go out and be here present."

The Grand Courtyard was very large, but there was only a simple long table good for four people.

"Don't worry, Ancestor. We will not disappoint you." Elder Sihun smiled. He took great efforts in order to persuade this old man, "But please Ancestor, let's not cause trouble with the other one, all right?"

The last battle of the ancestors almost turned the place into ashes since they battled with all they had. It was not a simple match with a slight show of power, it was a match that could destroy their entire sect. The enemies wouldn't need to destroy them as they were already destroying each other.

"That depends on the temper of that old geezer." Ancestor Triune snorted, "If he doesn't do something, then I won't, clearly."

"Ha, daring to speak ill of me when I'm not around." Soon, Ancestor Trest appeared. He had a sour mood when he entered the courtyard, "If you want to say something, say it to my face. Or are you afraid because you almost lost in the previous battle?"

"You like to joke, Trest. You aren't enough to make me intimidated." Ancestor Triune sneered.

"Oh, you haven't learned your lesson, it seems. Dare to have a round before the meeting starts?" Ancestor Trest smirked. He was confident in his skills.

"Please, Ancestors. No one shall cause trouble here in the courtyard." Xiaolei stood. He was now wearing the coin to state that he had the highest rank here, "Xiaolei will appreciate it should you heed my words."

Ancestor Triune snorted sat down. Meanwhile, Ancestor Trest didn't say a thing.

"Who are we waiting for, Young Xiaolei?" Ancestor Triune asked. He thought that it would be a meeting and Xiaolei would be the middle man this time. But judging by his attitude, it seemed he was waiting for someone? There was a vacant seat at the front.

"The real one who will spearhead this meeting, Ancestors." Xiaolei was calm as he answered. He took his seat by the side of Elder Sihun.

After that, light steps could be heard coming from a near room. And then, a figure appeared walking as if rather lazy. His features were ordinary. If you put him into a group of people, you wouldn't even know he's existing.

He slowly walked towards the seat at the front with a lazy persona and looked at the four people present, "It looks like everyone is here now."

"Young man, who are you?" Expectedly, Ancestor Triune dropped the first question, "I guess we have the right to know since you are going to lead the meeting."

Ancestor Trest, on the other hand, observed Jin Rou. He didn't ask question like Ancestor Triune did.

"I am called Jin Rou, and I'm here to do your sect a favor." Jin Rou introduced himself, "As for why am I the one to call the shots? Because I'm the strongest here."

To declare that he was the strongest was like a slap to the ancestor's face. It sounded that the other party was belittling them just because of the current situation of Firegate.

"Young man, you can eat anything but you cannot say anything." Ancestor Triune warned, "There's always a sky higher than the previous sky."

"I am the highest sky, though." Jin Rou chuckled, "But that's not the point here. I'm here because I want to help your Firegate to flourish in the future. After all, I cannot turn back on my word after having that deal."

"Deal?" Everyone was confused. Even Xiaolei wasn't aware of this.

Ancestor Trest stood up and looked fed up, "I was called for this for what? This nonsense. A lunatic wants to lead the sect? We don't even know him personally! This is ridiculous. We'll be the focus of laughingstock if we let this man do what he wants."

He got a point. How could they let an outsider steer their directions? They weren't strong just like they used to, but handing over their rights would be totally different.

"Firelord didn't give the authority to Firestander's descendants because of stupid people like you." Jin Rou didn't brake on his words, "Even if I'm Firelord Era Emperor, I wouldn't entrust the rights to someone brainless like you."

"You have a sharp tongue, kid." Ancestor Trest released his aura, "Can you back it up?"

But his aura was deflected by another aura coming from Jin Rou which made him almost fall, "No, I should be the one asking you that. Can you back it up?"

"You..." Ancestor Trest didn't expect that he would lose in an aura battle. The intent of the young man was too thick and powerful that it took his breath away for a second.

"Since I declared that I am going to save the sect, I'm going to. With how hopeless you old people here are, do you think I would give a damn about your sect if not for a deal?" Jin Rou was too disappointed in Firegate. It was no wonder that their decline was not stopping, "Now, if you want to keep your life, you better behave sitting on your chairs. Particularly speaking, I also don't give a damn about this sect should I decide to kill all of you here."

His few words and domineering attitude made the ancestors keep their thoughts of fighting back at bay. Jin Rou showed his power and it would be a total suicide should they didn't realize it.

Xiaolei was amazed. These two ancestors were too hard headed and someone needed to put them into their places. Fortunately, Jin Rou was here to save the day. By this time, his heartfelt gratitude was soaring to the sky.
