The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Your Majesty, where do you intend to go?" Imperial Lord Zui asked. Nine Heavens was very turbulent inside despite looking peaceful on the outside, "There are major changes after you disappear from the world."

"What major changes?" Jin Rou asked. Naturally, he needed to know everything first before setting off. This was still an unfamiliar world for him despite having all Han Li's memories.

"There is a recent movement from the elders of Black Death Zone." Imperial Lord Zui said with a grim tone. Han Li needed to know this as the person itself loathed the people of that place.

The Black Death Zone was an ancient formation treasure in the rankings of Heavenly Treasures, the greatest of them all. And the users of that formation was the surviving elders of the Yuan Clan. The clan had been the ultimate villain of Nine Heavens, threatened its peace in order to achieve their ambition. Furthermore, they were confident of initiating an attack because they held the Black Death Zone, a treasure that could save their lives no matter what.

In the past, Han Li uprooted the entire Yuan Clan, giving them genocide. However, a few elders survived it and right now they were scheming to get back at the world. After all, Han Li was now dead in their eyes so they might just take out their anger to the world.

"They have been hiding for hundred millions of years now. Surely they grew some guts inside now." Jin Rou chuckled, a certain memory of Han Li resurfaced so it wasn't hard to adapt to the emotion needed, "If they think they can threaten Nine Heavens now, they should try."

Imperial Lord Zui smiled wryly. His Majesty was always overbearing and arrogant, the only one of all. He was feeling sorry for those elders if they really come into being in this generation.

"Let's go to vicinity of Dao Sword Academy." After enumerating the places he needed to go, he decided to go first where it was nearest, "It has been a long while since I visited that place."

According to Han Li's memories, the last visit he made in Dao Sword Academy was almost a billion of years ago. He wanted to see if there was some recent changes in the academy or whatsoever.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." Imperial Lord Zui didn't ask the question why Han Li wanted to go there. He just needed to follow the orders and that's it.

The Dao Sword Academy was the leading school when it came to sword daos in the entire Enchanted Grounds. It had a history spanning for more than ten billion years so the sword arts of this place were truly topnotch.

To add more, the academy itself nurtured many Imperial Lords and Dao Monarchs in the past and all of them were brilliant enough to stand at the top.

Jin Rou was walking towards the gate of the academy. The lord wanted to come with him but Jin Rou eventually stopped him as Jin Rou wanted the lord to do a mission for him. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard also. Nevertheless, only Imperial Lord Zui could do it. So he couldn't come with Jin Rou here.

After walking off in the large gates, what met Jin Rou was like a golden places of many eons. Everything was beautiful and clean in this place as if it was taken care of very well. Many students were also coming and go by the time and although Jin Rou was wearing different clothes, he didn't stand out as he was very normal. His looks were very normal thus no one paid attention to him.

Jin Rou walked further to a certain place where not anyone knew it. After fifteen minutes, he reached that place and saw a small and old balcony. He swiped his fingers on an edge and chuckled, "This place has not been taken care of for a while now."

In the past, Han Li was often in this spot to rest and close his eyes. All his life, all he did was battle and kill those who blocked his path creating several mountains of bones for his domination. Unfortunately, even by the end, he couldn't defeat the Heavens even after preparing so much for the 8th Challenge.

There were times that Han Li wanted to quit and just live in peace like the few monarchs who he didn't take with in his 8th Challenge. Perhaps, living peacefully wasn't bad. Maybe dying of old age wasn't bad, too.

But Han Li knew that he wouldn't be satisfied with this. He wanted to die without a regret thus he persevered and saw the end of this battle. He might have lost, but he did everything he could and for him, that's what important.

Jin Rou walked towards a certain side of the small balcony. He remembered that Han Li left a treasure here. Jin Rou wanted to see what kind of treasure did Han Li leave here.

However, just when he's about to touch the spot, a voice suddenly interrupted him and said, "Who are you? This place is off-limits even to students!"

It was a young man with a pale armor. Judging by his appearance, he was a senior student of the academy. In actuality, he didn't want walk to this place as just like he said, this was off-limits. But a random guy suddenly popped out and entered without hesitation. His burning desire to protect the academy was ignited and thus, this situation happened.

Jin Rou looked at the young man and said, "And who are you?"

The young man was stupefied to hear this. It wasn't a boasting to say that he was quite famous in the academy, at least here in the Knight Department, "You don't know me? If that's the case, you are new here. Let me introduce myself, I am Goldenchild Knight. Rank 3 of the best sword students of the academy!"

Goldenchild introduced himself with the proudest action he could manage to show.. However, because of the lack of response from the person who asked, the things became awkward and Goldenchild thought that he should have not pushed the matter more as it was shameful on his part.
