Chapter 971 Black Clock

"Oh, what are you doing here?" It was a funny surprise. Why would this bearded man be here when the area he was selling from was far away?

"I'm planning to stand a stall here since I heard that many people are going here now and then. But it's you who I see here, instead." The bearded man said with a grievance, "And then, you go rambling about wanting to unseal something. That sounds ominous so don't you dare!"

Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh with his reason. This Immortal Dynasty's heir to the throne had a similarity with a familiar face in Han Li's memories.

"You are like Dynasty." Jin Rou laughed, "Always loud and a bit impulsive."

He was talking about Era Emperor Dynasty, the progenitor of Immortal Dynasty. Because of his prestige and care for the sect, Immortal Dynasty had produced three more era emperors. Although they weren't as strong as Dynasty, they were on the way there.

"You know the progenitor?" the bearded man asked.

Jin Rou shook his head but didn't answer it. He knew Dynasty more than anyone else in the world. After all, Han Li guided that man to the right path in the past. Because of him, Dynasty became a strong Era Emperor that could threaten the world.

"Do you know what's inside of this rocks? What's in the bottom of it?" Jin Rou shifted the topic to the piled rocks.

"My ancestor said that the bottom of the rocks is ominous. I don't know why, though. He never explained anything to me fully." When the bearded man remember how he was played by that ancestor, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger. Always leaving him up in a suspense.

"Because you aren't qualified to know. Wait until you become an emperor, then he might tell you a bit of it." Jin Rou chuckled, "Besides, what's the rush? You're here to play around, not to discover the truths. Just set up your stall and wait for people to buy your scraps."

"My items are not scraps, just so you know." The bearded man said, "They are precious treasures that can go any powerhouse crazy for it."

"That will be true if you take out those in your ancestral treasury, but you have no access to it despite being an heir, so that's too bad." Jin Rou teased him. The items the bearded man brought was precious, indeed, but not to the point that it would make people fight over it.

The bearded man snorted and was about to set up his stall when he saw Jin Rou touching the stones again. His nerves crawled and he immediately snapped, "I told you not to touch anything! That is ominous! Bad! Unlucky!"

But Jin Rou didn't stop this time and continued unsealing it. The bearded man planned to push Jin Rou away, but all of sudden, he disappeared like a bubble.

"Where did he go?" He couldn't feel any spatial fluctuations, so it wasn't teleportation or anything of that sort.

Jin Rou opened his eyes and his surroundings had already changed. If his memories served him right, this was the bottom of the piled rocks. He looked at the thing in front of him and said, "You've got guts to actually pull me here in this space."

"Han Li, I have never forgotten the day you sealed me here." The thing, which was a clock with only one hand in it, talked. Its voice was filled with hatred, "You messed up the plans and you're here, wanting to unseal me to control me? You must be dreaming."

This black clock was a powerful thing that could make the whole region fall into despair. That's why Han Li had no choice but to seal it in the past since controlling or killing it was impossible. But it was different this time around.

"Controlling you now is as easy as saying pie." " Jin Rou smirked. He didn't look threatened by the aura the clock was giving.

"You're not afraid of me reducing your life down to the last bit?" The black clock spoke, "I just need to pay the right price and I can kill you right here, right now, slowly but surely."

Its voice was filled with sinister intention. Its hatred was overflowing that there was no place to vent it to. Fortunately, Jin Rou came here.

"You have the power to control time, but do you really think it will be effective here in Dragon Sky where the concept of time is different?" Jin Rou slapped the black clock and said, "It looks like you became stupid after being sealed for so long."

The clock's power to manipulate time was terrifying. However, it was only effective in Mortalis' concept of time. That's also one of the reasons Han Li had sealed it in a unique realm.

"You dare to slap me?" The black clock was about to go all out when chains appeared out of the blue, restricting him, "Because you touched me, that person has detected the abnormality in me and soon be here."

Jin Rou creased his brows, "Who are you talking about?"

"Hah, someone you should have met a long time ago, damned Li." The clock was in glee. It couldn't do anything to Jin Rou because it was restricted by the concept here, but it was different with that person.

The Dragon Sky was her territory, and here, she could display her full power without something to pay in exchange.

Jin Rou slapped the clock again and sneered, "Wait for me to come back, I'll make sure to let you taste a round of hell."

"Ha, as if you have the chance!" The clock spoke evilly, "You will die if you confront that person, and it's a good thing. After all, that person has a blood debt to collect. Haha!"

Jin Rou didn't answer and immediately got out of the space.

Fiarra was waiting for Jin Rou to go out when suddenly, the ground shook violently. The bearded man felt something dangerous was coming, so he immediately went up his guard.
