Suddenly, an old woman appeared out of thin air. She walked gracefully like she was walking on the water. Every step was silent as if she didn"t take a step at all. And with her aged face, you can see that she was so beautiful during her youth.Everyone, even the sectmaster, stood up immediately as they saw this walking figure.
The sectmaster was so tensed that even his muscle in the face was shaking a bit. To think that he had said those kinds of words earlier? He wanted to bury himself in the ground. As someone who was below this old woman, he knew that if she were to pursue this matter, his position of being the sectmaster will be jeopardized.
"Gao Go greets the Ancestor." The sectmaster bowed his head with respect and fear. In front of this ancestor, he was just a little junior, not enough to reach the apex.
The four disciples immediately kneeled down and said the same line. They didn"t dare to lift their heads up because of the suffocating presence of this old woman.
Seeing this, Jin Rou could determine that this old woman had a high rank here in the sect. If not, why would this people who thought highly of themselves would be doing this?
"You are shaming me, all of you!" The old woman said. Although she didn"t shout, the coldness in her voice was there.
The group didn"t utter a single word. They didn"t even dare to breathe louldy. With just a snap of her fingers, their heads might start rolling on the ground.
While Jin Rou was amused by this scene, Owner Bu was confused. He knew himself that they weren"t invited by any sect here in Havenleaf Constellation. In fact, even other constellations didn"t invite them and Jin Rou knew this, too. After all, they just came here a while ago from Grivexia.
However, Owner Bu decided to keep his mouth shut. Even he was intimidated by this old woman as he knew this existence well.
Divine Monarch Sumire!
This ancestor had terrorized and annihilated everyone who tried to block her path. She paved her way alone and never backed down against her enemies! This old woman was a foul-tempered expert that doesn"t think about the consequences of her actions!
Just by taking the path of G.o.dhood was already admirable in the eyes of the ma.s.ses. After all, breaking through the shackles of the True Monarch to enter the Divine level was way harder than entering the Grand Monarch level.
Aside from the G.o.dhood path, cultivators also had another path that they coud take. And that"s the Imperial path. This is a path for the cultivators who didn"t think they could survive the G.o.dhood path. And if one would talk about the difficulty, the Imperial was easier to walk on than the G.o.dhood path. After all, once you took the G.o.dhood, you will be against the Heavens itself!
The sectmaster trembled when he felt that the ancestor was looking coldly at him. He knew that unless he gave an explanation, he would need to pack his things up. After all, he wasn"t the only one who had this cultivation in the entire constellation. Many would run and die to get his position.
"Ancestor, I... I didn"t know that... they... are your guests..." The sectmaster stuttered. Even after gathering all his courage, with the suffocating aura around, he found it hard to breathe.
If the sectmaster knew that the ancestor would have some visitors today, he would have prepared a grand occasion to receive them. But he wasn"t notified by anyone. Not even those who are close with this ancestor. Of course, he wasn"t blaming the ancestor for this. Sumire is the only Divine Monarch of this sect and she held the highest authority of all.
"Stop giving excuses." Sumire sneered and told the disciples, "You all will be detained at the the deepest part of the cave. Reflect yourselves there and don"t come back unless you learned something!"
The four youth had their face ashen white. Although they didn"t want this punishment, all they could was to obey. After all, if they resist, no one will save them. Not even the sectmaster who was also in a pinch. Soon, they got up and bowed, immediately running towards the cave told by their ancestor.
"And you." Sumire looked at the sectmaster and said, "Wait me at the dining hall, I will meet you there with the other ancestors."
The sectmaster didn"t say a thing and just walked out of the hall, seemingly depressed.
—
"Ancestor, thank you for saving us but you didn"t have to. We are going to be okay, I think." Owner Bu said as he sipped the tea in his cup gracefully.
Jin Rou and Owner Bu were already at the personal abode of Sumire and currently having a tea.
"Yes, you two are going to be okay. But my sect will not be." Sumire said as she looked at Jin Rou with amazement.
Truth be told, she wasn"t planning to intervene with how the disciples want to solve the issue. But after seeing the slight power of Jin Rou, she didn"t hesitate to step forward to save them. Although she didn"t know how powerful Jin Rou was, she knew that he was way stronger than the beings she had met.
This was pure intuition, but her intuition had never disappointed her.
"You have good eyes." Jin Rou smiled. He knew that someone was watching them in the shadows, "Eyes good enough to watch us since we stepped on your land."
"…" Sumire was speechless. He knew it from the start? He discovered me? A chill ran down her spines.
Jin Rou chuckled. In fact, it"s not just Sumire who was watching them. There were some apex beings that kept watch on them for a few minutes. After all, their ascend was quite an abnormal thing since Jin Rou forcefully tore the s.p.a.ce and time to travel.
But who cares? Jin Rou wasn"t afraid of them, so he let them be.
