The Adventures Of The Young Master

Jin Rou contemplated. It was easy if he could only use his power to sense this whole realm. After all, if he did, he would surely find the Devils if there were around.

But what was worrying him was that if he used his utmost sensory, the Devils would feel it and they might go into further hiding. They already did hide from the eyes of their families for millions of years now, so it meant that they had something heaven-defying that could hide them from his family's gaze.

And now, he was sure that there were Devils here. Just who was capable of creating portals filled with dark aura? Not to mention that, no one was capable of creating portals that strong here in Starlight.

After some more contemplation, Jin Rou finally reached a conclusion and asked, "Is there a forbidden area here? I mean, an area which could be said the most restricted area here."

"To answer your question, there is, I think, two forbidden areas that might be called the most restricted places." Stronghold answered, "The two places are called Dark Canyon and Cold Deep Sea. These places are very dangerous even to us Ancients. In fact, even for Ethereals."

Jin Rou rubbed his chin and thought, "If these are the most restricted place, then probably one of them was where the hideout of the Devils located. Or to assume further, both places have Devils hiding in it."

Jin Rou wanted to ask something else when the mountain suddenly shook violently.

"Rumble!"

"This is happening again." Stronghold knitted his eyebrows.

"What is?" Jin Rou asked in curiosity.

"It's Beast Horde, Your Highness." Stronghold answered, "Rampaging beasts that were capable of slaying cultivators are frequently happening other than the unusual portals opening. I heard in the report that many Fate Emperos have tried to find the cause of this but it was futile."

"Rampaging beasts? How powerful those beasts are to warrant such a strong force to set out?" Jin Rou was a bit surprised. Though there were unique beasts that were capable of cultivating, the population was not even half of the total population of other races. Thus, their firepower must not be a threat to anyone. Yet, Fate Emperors personally coming out? Just how serious was that.

"They are powerful, Your Highness." Stronghold said seriously, "And they are getting stronger every time they are rampaging. There was also a few already who were capable of slaying Fate Emperors and Destinies are needed to battle just to stop the horde."

"That is weird." Jin Rou's expression turned serious, "Did this have anything to do with the Devils?"

This notion was likely possible. In fact, there's a high chance that this might be the case.

Though rampaging beast hordes were a usual occurrence in this world, the frequency of it happening was totally and absolutely abnormal.

There was someone pulling the strings here. If not a Devil, then someone who had a malicious motive was.

"And their target right now is your grounds?" Jin Rou asked again.

After which, an eagle flew towards this place from below with a little paper attached on its foot. It landed on Stronghold's arms and he detached the paper and read it.

"Indeed." Stronghold's expression darkened a bit and said, "The target of the attack is our Imperial Grounds. The last time, it was Seismic Island. And now, it's our turn. But Woodrain and his students are already dispatched, so I guess, the problem will be solved immediately."

"You can't be sure of that." Jin Rou shook his head, "Stronghold, as you said, they are getting stronger every time this happens. The last time, they could already kill emperors. Just imagine how strong are they now? Perhaps, they might be able to slay a Destiny now."

"..." Stronghold's body shook a bit after hearing those words. He gained an instant realization about this. He could not help but worry, "Then..."

"Don't worry about this." Jin Rou chuckled and patted Stronghold's shoulder and said, "It's really worrying if I'm not around."

"!!!" Stronghold was stupefied. Why didn't he think about that? With the Celestial King here, who stood at the apex of this universe, what's there to be afraid of?

"Then, Your Highness, we will be in your care." Stronghold wanted kowtow, but since Jin Rou was uncomfortable with it, he just bowed and expressed his whole gratitude.

"Un." Jin Rou accepted his gesture and said, "But you have already secluded yourself for too long. How about seeing the views with me?"

—

In the outside vicinity of the Imperial Grounds Constellation, tens of thousands of beasts were wreaking havoc. They were rushing towards a certain direction.

It was towards Imperial Grounds Constellation.

As they were nearing the vicinity of the constellation, four figures were standing tall, floating in the air along with tens of people behind them.

Three of them were wearing golden shining armors with heavy swords on their back.

In front of them was an old man with an anciently aura. Their expressions were serious.

Of course, they were Woodrain Ancient and his Golden Knights.

One Ancient and Three Fate Emperors. Quite a terrifying line up. Not to mention that, there were 10 Imperial Sovereigns and 25 Grand Monarchs behind them.

If not for the fact that Stronghold Ancient, the strongest being of the grounds wasn't here, the Imperial Grounds was said to be going all out already.

"Hold up, you beasts." As the beast hordes were getting nearer their place, he shouted with absolute authority, "If you choose to back off now, your lives would be spared here but if you still want to continue though I already warned you, then die."

"Graaaah!" The beasts howled madly as if they were saying that they weren't afraid of the threat. They continued on moving forward without hesitation with red eyes and salivating mouths.

"Hmph. You all want to die that badly? Then we'll gladly grant you death." Woodrain Ancient snorted in disdain. He wasn't afraid of these beasts.

In fact, he was seeing them as ants that were asking to be stomped.
