Lucas was a strong ancient emperor and many had respected him for that the most. With his talents, he was one of the famous and brilliants emperors of the era. However, compared to this newcomer old man, he felt like an ant.
A heavenly. He knew it right away. This feeling was only exclusive to those who stood above him. The intense and unknown pressure was suffocating enough that made it for him hard to breathe.
Tiresh was holding on her sleeves as she tried her best not to show any bit of discomfort. She didn't want Jin Rou to notice it.
But, how could Jin Rou couldn't? He immediately sent an invisible barrier and relieved the two of the intense pressure they were feeling and looked at the old man, "Old man, if you want to show off, you have done it successfully. However, we still need to enter the State Region."
"Haha, let's see." The old man could see that there was no hint of surprise and fright in the other party's eyes which amused him, "Why should I grant you entry?"
This heavenly had the status to grant anyone permission. After all, he had one of the highest status in the clan.
"Maybe because I helped you eradicate half of the total emperors of your nemesis?" Jin Rou smirked and said, "For sure, it is a very favorable thing for you here. So shouldn't you at least repay me?"
"I see. So you're the one who killed those five emperors." The old man wasn't shocked, "However, we have not asked you to do that."
"While your clan didn't ask me for that, I gave you a favor that you cannot because of your clan's situation." Jin Rou smiled, "So will you grant us entry or not?"
"What if I don't?" The old man was smiling and waiting for his answer.
"Simple. I can just crush this wall down. It may be sturdy but with just a few punches, it will crumble." Jin Rou said as he looked at the black towering walls, "I don't mind getting your clan under my feet, too. How about it?"
"Presumptuous!" The commander said. He was angered by how an unknown man treat their respected clan.
But the old man wasn't angry. In fact he was smiling, "You have such confidence in your abilities?"
"Why don't you try for you to know?" Jin Rou was provoking the heavenly. If the other party would still play hard to get, he would play hard too.
"Haha! I really like you child." Then, the old man bursted out laughing while clutching his stomach, "Alright, alright. I will grant you entry. But I can only give you three days to stay, is that alright?"
"Sure. Three days, it is." Jin Rou smiled. Three days was pretty much enough time already.
The commander was flabbergasted by this situation. Not only their master heavenly wasn't angry, he even granted entrance to the outsider who disrespected him and said the liked this child. What kind of situation was this?
"Thank you." Jin Rou walked over to the guard standing by the large gate and said, "Open it. We have permission."
The guard looked at the flustered commander and was given a weak nod. Then, he opened the gate. It was slow screeching door that seemed to have rusted over the passage of time.
Seeing Jin Rou enter it, Lucas and Tiresh ran to follow suit afraid that the guards would close the gate immediately.
After Jin and his companions disappeared in their sight, the commander came over to the smiling heavenly and said, "Pardon me Your Highness. But why did you let a presumptuous kid enter our sacred place?"
"Why, do you think I've done the wrong thing here?" The heavenly laughed.
"No, that's not what I meant Your Highness." The commander sweated upon being misunderstood.
"That kid is unfathomable. Even with my power, I cannot gauge his strength. Take note, I am already a heavenly yet I cannot see through him." The heavenly took a deep breath and smiled wryly, "As a matter of fact, I even felt small in front of him."
"Then it's more for us to not have granted him entry!" The commander finally realized the seriousness of the situation. If that man was strong, he could wreck havoc and destroy the order of the region. It would be bad news and if it spread, they would be the center of mockery and insults.
"Relax, will you?" The old man said, "I'll take care of everything so just do your job here."
Whether Jin Rou was dangerous or not, he could observe him quietly. It was not too late to move before everything turn big.

"The chaos energy inside is way thicker than the outside, it's almost suffocating." Tiresh said. She had no affinity with chaos so she was affected the most.
"Stay close to me so that you won't feel it." Jin Rou advised while looking around. They were currently in a town named Silence. He was trying to detect where the pearl would be.
However, he expected that it's not going to be easy even inside. Nevertheless, he knew he could find it within three days.
As they walked through, gazes from the residents would be constantly focused on the making the vibe uncomfortable.
"Their gazes are abnormal." Tiresh said, "It feels like they are studying us."
"That's normal. We are the newcomer here and they will be curious what we are doing here. Anyway, just ignore them. They won't harm us." Jin Rou said, "For now, we have to find an inn to sleep over. I've been awake for days and I need proper sleep."
Lucas agreed, "Right. I'll ask someone if there is an available inn here."
But before Lucas could move away to find one, a little girl came over them and said, " Big Brothers and Big Sister, are you looking for a place to stay?"
This little girl was cute with her green hair in ponytail. She was also wearing fine clothes.
"Yes. Do you have something to suggest?" Lucas bended over and talked to the little girl,
"My family is running an inn!" The little girl's eyes shine like diamonds, "You can stay with us there!"
