As this chariot descended, revealing golden color effects, a familiar man in a dragon robe appeared from the chariot.This was the Royal King, Zao Dong.
This scenario could not be called imposing nor arrogant, but it was not humble either. Jin Rou was surprised to see this guy here. After all, he should be busy preparing for the Sect Wars which his Royal Castle was the organizer. How could this man have the time to visit him at such a crucial time?
"Sectmaster Jin!" Zao Dong did not dare to show his arrogance in front of this young man after he saw the terrifying means and might of him, "This King is here to personally give you a lift to the venue of the Sect Wars."
"Royal King Zao, you don"t have to this at all... you are busy, right? This is really not necessary." Jin Rou smiled awkwardly. Of course, he also knew that this royal king would not be offering such a thing without any motives. In his mind, he already guessed that this royal king was trying to curry favor with him. After all, this man had seen his power when the Dragon Alliance attacked.
"Haha, Sectmaster Jin, you don"t need to be polite with me." Zao Dong laughed heartily, "I have so much time that it already made me bored... so I thought to personally come here to offer you a lift. You will not turn this down, right?"
This cunning king... — Jin Rou smiled wryly. His guess had proven to be more correct by this. If someone heard that the royal king himself personally came to fetch the partic.i.p.ants of a third-rate sect, what would be the reaction of them?
Well, it might not be much but they would surely be shocked. After all, the Royal King was someone who stood at the apex of this world in people"s hearts. He was one step away to become an Overlord Realm cultivator. Although the words already spread about the complete carnage of the Dragon Alliance because of the LD Sect"s sectmaster might, many of the people were not yet completely convinced since they only heard it from other"s mouths. It was still better if they had seen with their own eyes. So they refused to believe about this... At most, they believed that the sectmaster had used an illusion. For those who personally saw the fight, they could not help it if they did not believe them. Thus, the royal king was still the invincible one in their hearts.
"Since you already put it this way, then I will not be polite." Jin Rou smiled and called out the three disciples to enter the chariot, and bade farewell to Yuna Sierra and the others.
"Please..." Zao Dong gleefully got on the chariot last.

"We will be reaching the Castle"s Dome in five minutes, Sectmaster Jin." Throughout this entire journey, Jin Rou and Zao Dong had talked some things which were too complicated for the three disciples beside to understand. Part of their conversation was an alliance invitation from the Royal Castle. But Jin Rou put this matter aside and would talk about this after the Sect Wars come into conclusion.
Jin Rou only nodded in response as he casually looked into the distant horizon outside.
Five minutes later, the chariot had descended and came into a halt. This place was currently hidden and could not be seen by anyone who was not part of the Royal Castle. Soon, the people inside the chariot got off one by one.
Once the three disciples landed their gaze to their surroundings, they could not help but be in awe about this. It was filled with blossoming flowers and plants... swaying trees and such giving off a soft and comfortable feeling for them.
"This place is called Hidden Garden. This was the personal takeoff and landing place of my chariot. This place is extremely hidden to the public eye so we did not attract anyone"s attention." Zao Dong said to the three disciples.
The three only nodded in unison.
"The Sect Wars will start soon, so why don"t you let my servant here to lead them to the dome to prepare?" Zao Dong said to Jin Rou.
"So you need me for something?" Jin Rou smiled, he already expected this. This king did not do it just for the sole purpose of currying favor and invitation.
"This..." Zao Dong could not help but smiled wryly, "It"s not me... actually."
"Hmm?" Jin Rou was a bit stumped. If not him, who would ask for his help?
"Well... even I do not know why. I was just tasked to personally lead you to that place." Zao Dong answered.
"If that"s the case, I will not say anything else." Jin Rou smiled. If not for this king having a clean and white inner heart, he would not even pay a glance with him. Jin Rou told his three disciples to take care of themselves and said to Zao Dong, "Lead the way."

A servant of the Royal Castle was personally serving mei Xiao, Ran Haoyu, and Lin Fan. Giving them tea and meal and such which the disciples of other sects envied to the extreme.
Currently, they were already at the side of the dome, where the partic.i.p.ants were preparing... so this scene was really eye-catching. But the three disciples did not have any choice. No matter how much they decline, the servant was told to serve them.
"Red robes with twin doves... isn"t this the Lovey Dovey Sect?! How could they be here... enjoying meals while we are working hard?" A disciple of first-rate sect exclaimed.
"That"s right. How could the castle attend to them while us not? Isn"t this too biased?" Another disciple voiced out his complaint.
"What do you know? Maybe the LD sect and Royal Castle have formed an alliance already, so they are taking care of those disciples."
"Alliance? That"s impossible. No matter what, the castle will not need any support." Soaring Phoenix"s Youngmaster Larl rejected this and sneered, his hatred for the LD sect was bottomless. After all, because of such a stupid sect, their sect was currently in danger of decline with the fall of his father. Although his grandfather was still alive, this was such a big blow and a huge slap to their face, "I guess the sect master of their sect hugged the king"s thighs shamelessly so that they can experience this kind of luxury just for once. Truly lowest of the lowest beings."
