Jin Rou was right. This was their high chance to claim something and they couldn't afford to lose it. After all, His Majesty was already giving them enough protection by doing this! All they just had to do was to get the legacies and take them.
"Trust His Majesty's words, Wang." Ancestor Hong tapped Ancestor Wang's shoulder, "You're very lucky to be chosen, you know? Although we have already lived for trillions of years, your life will be prolonged. Isn't that great? Before your death, you can make preparations for the next successor."
Ancestor Wang also thought about it. It was truly an opportune moment and he might probably regret it if he decline this more. It wasn't only him who qualified for it as many people were in the empire were also had blood arts.
"Then I'm not going to hesitate further. Thank you, Your Majesty." Ancestor Wang bowed, "We will be leaving now, as we want to make proper preparations before we depart for the quest, Your Majesty."
"Go on. I will be leaving for Blood Ancient Empire today." Jin Rou said.
Hearing that word, Ancestor Hong couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, will you raze that empire to the ground?"
"If they are smart, they won't antagonize me knowing what happened here." Jin Rou chuckled, "I'm just going there to deal with a matter regarding the Nobleblood Family."
"Then please travel safely, Your Majesty. No matter what, you are our hero and savior of the empire." Ancestor Wang sincerely spoke.
Jin Rou nodded and dismissed the two ancestors and the others.

"Congratulations on your victory, Your Majesty." Emperor Randies appeared after everyone dispersed to prepare to retrieve the legacies, "I have to admit it, I still have underestimated you."
The emperor thought that it was already over for the empire. After all, three laws were attacking it and there were 12 Dao Supremes at that. This was a terrifying line up that even their Purple Haven Empire would be hopeless against. Yet, Jin Rou managed to turn the tides effortlessly.
Three Universal Laws had just died. And those laws were the top predators of the world.
Just imagine killing those three laws and they were helpless against it.
"I thought you have already left." Jin Rou smiled.
"How can I?" Emperor Randies laughed wryly, "Even if I could leave, I wouldn't dare. Or else, I will receive a good beating from our ancestor."
Jin Rou chuckled in response, only. A maid was preparing the finest tea for them by the side. After a few minutes, the tea was prepared and two teacups were filled.
Emperor Randies took a sip of the good tea and opened another topic, "I heard you will make a trip today to Blood Ancient Empire?"
"Indeed, I have to." Jin Rou answered, "Why?"
"May I know the reason why you're going there?" Emperor Randies sighed, "To tell you the truth, the ancestor wants to know what you want to do. He probably feels responsible since you're here and he wants to protect you with the minimum that you wouldn't be interfered."
Ancestor Violet Cloud was Feng Lin's friend. At the end, only Cloud had remained a true friend while the three betrayed him for power.
"I plan to retrieve a certain living treasure there." Jin Rou answered.
"A living treasure?" Emperor Randies was stumped. Would there possibly a connection between Jin Rou and a living treasure?
Living treasures were very rare in this world and they were like gods in many's eyes. It was the same with the Nobleblood Family. The living treasure might be someone with a high position in the family regardless of its origin. As a matter of fact, there was only one living treasure the Blood Ancient Empire had and it was easy to deduce that it's the one Jin Rou was looking for.
"Then I'll accompany you there." Emperor Randies smiled.
"Oh? I thought emperors are very busy handling their empires. Looks like your empire isn't in need of one, knowing that you're here." Jin Rou smirked.
Emperor Randies smiled wryly, "The empire can go without me. I have already laid the plans and orders for three months so I can be away for three months at best. If they follow it and there's nothing unforseen events happen, it's going to be fine."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, it has been millions of years since my last visit to the Blood Ancient Empire. I wonder what it looks like right now."
"Then I'll be happy to have your company, Emperor Randies." Jin Rou said with a casual tone.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. I will be in your care from now on." Emperor chuckled.
After a few hours of talk, it was already night. However, this was the time Jin Rou was planning to depart so that no one would see him leave.
Just a while ago, he received a report that it was proven that the king of Newgate Kingdom was guilty of killing Mrs. Lei's eldest son, and was immediately beheaded after being sentenced. Not just that, many accomplices had also appeared and were sentenced to death, also. With this, Mrs. Lei might be able move on from now on and focus on her cultivation.
With that, he had no longer have any ties with the empire. He already saved it and the empire was slowly rising now. If the ancestors got the two legacies successfully, the empire would soar higher than the sky, being the top empire once again.
Now, he had done his part and the rest would be up to them.
After a few minutes, loud and hurry steps could be heard. Emperor Randies told Jin Rou he would be back immediately and the emperor really did.
"So fast? I thought you're going to at least take an hour." Jin Rou smiled. He noticed that the emperor was holding a scroll and already knew what it is.
"This is within a secret store of the empire so I decided to buy it for convenience." Emperor Randies chuckled, "You probably know this, Your Majesty.. This is a portal scroll which will lead us to the Blood Ancient Empire."
