Chapter 997 1
1 looked at Jin Rou and laughed, "Li, what sort of trouble have you entangled yourself with this time?"
It was rare for Han Li to ask her of something. After all, they wouldn't meet even if the world was already ending. He was the type to never ask for anything and do it himself. But what's it this time to even require her presence?
"Nothing. Someone named Dreira of Everlasting Clan approached me and ordered me to do his bidding. He even presented a contract to sign." Jin Rou spoke as he remembered it.
"And by your personality, you won't want others using you. After all, you are used to using others for your own convenience." 1 chuckled.
"But I pay them handsomely, no?" Jin Rou defended. Han Li was never stingy with rewards. Those who had done well for him would receive enormous rewards that they couldn't get in their lifetime should they have worked for others.
"The bottom line is, you still used them." 1 refuted but immediately curved back to the topic, "In any case, you want my help to wipe those superpowers out, right?"
"Rose Bloodline and Seven Sins Clan." Jin Rou affirmed.
"You're aware that these two superpowers are backed by Majesties, right?" 1 said, "And remember that us dragon emperors are nurtured by such existences. And you're telling me to bite them?"
It was like a dog biting their master after being taken care of and nurtured. It was an ungrateful act and often would the masses curse at you for doing so. Although 1 was no longer part of that world, her roots were still there as well as her origin.
Jin Rou expected this and said, "That's why you will leave out the Majesties and just kill the rest of them."
He knew that it was too much to ask to kill the Majesties, so he needed to concess if he wanted to succeed dragging her in this mess. After all, he already accepted the treasures and promised the guy. Wouldn't that be embarrassing if he couldn't convince her?
"That's possible, but I will get the ire of those two Majesties, no?" 1 reasoned. It wasn't worth it antagonizing the two Majesties for a measly revenge of someone she didn't even know.
"Do you think they care about that right now?" Jin Rou smirked, "1, you are a dragon emperor of the previous epoch, a survivor one at that. You think those Majesties can hold a candle against you?"
He paused and said, "Furthermore, look how long have you been gone in that world. For sure, they are already producing new dragon emperors to succeed your throne. Do you really think that, as the strongest dragon emperor out there, deserved to be changed?"
Jin Rou was trying to ignite the idle flames inside 1. She had stayed too lowkey for so many generations and it's now time to make her shine in the world again.
"You're trying to provoke me, Han Li." 1 shook her head, "Still, I'm not interested in crossing paths with them. I just want to live a peaceful life until I die."
"And you know that's not possible." Jin Rou said, "Just how many 12-Words and Epoch Saints are trying to hunt you down despite the meaningless years passing? One way or another, they will find this place and you have to run away again."
"Han Li, what are you trying to say?" 1 creased her brows. Her expression was showing displeasure when she heard those words.
"I'm saying that you won't get the peace you dream of so much unless you have a safe and permanent place to stay." Jin Rou was looking at 1 and said, "Corps Zone."
Hearing these words, 1's eyes suddenly widened. The Corps Zone was a necessary thing for her to live in peace, "You have that treasure?"
"Why do you think that despite your countless tries of searching for it, you have never found it?" Jin Rou smirked, "In exchange for your actions in that world, I will give you the Corps Zone."
The Corps Zone was one of the Nine Heavenly Dao Treasures of Mortalis. It was heavenly treasure that could hide one's location and become a fortress at the same time. He only had two of this kind and him giving out the one meant he was determined to get her help.
"You're even willing to go this far, Han Li." Honestly, 1 was truly amazed. Who would think about giving the Corps Zone as a bargaining chip just to kill these two superpowers of the other world? It's not like he was connected to it, to begin with.
"Well, what do you say?" Jin Rou knew that 1 couldn't resist the temptation of the Corps Zone. It was heavenly dao treasure and no one would want to miss it. If ever she did, Jin Rou would make sure that she wouldn't have a chance to have it.
What was stated was just the surface skills of Corps Zone. As a heavenly dao treasure, it had so many uses that might freak out people. Even Han Li had yet to fully know the extent of its capabilities despite many researches and experiments.
"Well, what can I say? You have gotten me with the Corps Zone." As expected, 1 wouldn't want to miss it. The trouble and hassle she would experience would be worth it if she could get the Corps Zone. With that, not even Han Li could find her again.
"And oh, while you finished the job, you must take some of that mythical stone called erant." Jin Rou said, "I need those things to create my ultimate weapon for the war."
"You want erants?" 1 was surprised. It was a very rare stone in their world. And fortunately, the territory it was located was in the Rose Bloodline Sect, "I think I can bring a max of three of that."
Jin Rou smiled. That's more than enough for him, "Perfect. Three is enough for me."
After that, they talked about more of the details regarding what 1 should do.
