Jin Rou nodded and said, "Of course. Since you killed all your legion soldiers, here is your son."
Jin Rou grabbed the scion by his collar and threw him towards the sect master. The force was enough to make Lostwind step back a few times.
"Is that how you are raised by your parents?" Lostwind was still angry. The disrespect was over his head. He thought that Jin Rou was never taught with manners.
"That question should be imposed by me on you, instead. Is that how you raised your son?" Jin Rou chuckled, "Forcing his weight onto others to bully them? If you want to talk about manners and raising, question yourself first."
"What's wrong with forcing your weight to the weak? Isn't this the world of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak?" Lostwind sneered, "Don't act like you aren't vicious yourself. You are also stepping up on the weak people to climb the ladder."
"That's true." Jin Rou agreed, "But I don't force my weight to those who don't deserve it."
Jin Rou never said he was a good person. Certainly, he was a bad person even in his life. Too many had been killed by his hands and who knew how many of them were vengeful?
Nevertheless, he never bullied those who didn't cross his path. Same as Han Li, he wouldn't bother you unless you bother him first.
"All in all, you aren't a good person, right? So what right do you have to criticize my action?" Lostwind asked.
"I'm not a good person and I never said I am." Jin Rou shook his head, "And the right I have to criticize you is very obvious. I'm actually stronger than you. Haven't you heard of the saying? The stronger punch is the authority."
"You're confident." Lostwind snorted. He was observing the other party with all the visible things he could see. He was looking for an opening or a soft spot in case he planned for the offense.
"Do you want to try?" Jin Rou smirked, "I have much free time today, anyway. I don't mind playing with you and some elders of your sect."
Lostwind was about to say something when the voice suddenly whispered to him, "Don't. Just like he said, he is much stronger than you. Even I am not confident in saving you if you jumped onto the pit."
"Or you can listen to that old man whispering something to you." Jin Rou chuckled. He already knew it before they conversation a while ago. That hiding man was powerful, sure. But just like everyone else, it's an ant also. Just a stronger ant than the previous.
"It's better to heed my advice. This is not our turf, Lostwind." The voice persuaded the sect master, "The Elemental Wind doesn't need to have more losses than it already has."
Lostwind calmed himself and looked at Jin Rou, "We will be leaving now. I hope we don't cross paths once again."
They all turned their back when Jin Rou responded, "If we do meet, be sure to avoid me at all costs. There will be no mercy the second time around. Just think about this as some sort of payment from me."
Lostwind stopped and snorted before leaving for the horizon. He didn't dare to stay longer afraid that he changed his mind fight it out with the young man.
But surely, they would plan to pay this debt back in the future.
Palace Master Dina and the other elders knelt down in front of Jin Rou along with their disciples, "We thank you Your Excellency for saving our palace. This is our heart-felt gratitude for you."
They already confirmed who Jin Rou really was by his actions. And there's no doubt that it's that person. They even changed the Young Noble to Your Excellency.
"Rise, all of you." Jin Rou accepted the gesture, "That sect will not dare to covet on the Evermoon Palace again. So rest assured."
"Do you need anything of us, Your Excellency?" The palace master was excited. This man was the beyond existence that turned Mortalis upside down by several times in the past. Even the powerhouses of Central God Region was afraid of him! It was their honor to serve this kind of existence.
"I just want to confirm one thing." Jin Rou searched for a place to sit on and asked, "Is Moonshade still alive?"
Moonshade was the co-founder of the Evermoon Palace. After the progenitor disappeared, she took the palace all by herself and raise its ranks of Mortalis. She was even the main reason why the dao law which most of their disciples were training with reached its perfection.
Hearing this, Palace Master Dina's expression turned bitter and shook her head, "Unfortunately, she already passed away, Your Excellency. The only ancient ancestor we have is the daughter of Moonshade, Lightmoon Ancestor. Currently, she is slumbering to preserve her life."
Lightmoon Ancestor was their strongest backer. Being an old Era Empress, she swept realms in the distant past during her prime along with her mother for an expedition.
Though the ancestor was nearing her lifespan, she couldn't take it to leave the palace as they had yet to produce capable offsprings to carry the powerhouse.
Jin Rou sighed and ordered, "Take me to her."
Palace Master Dina personally led Jin Rou to a mysterious place in their palace. As of now, it was known by the palace master solely. The others weren't qualified to know even the most talented disciple of Evermoon Palace, Xiaoxi.
They took some turns and finally reached a room. It contained a thick amount of vitality energy. As they entered the room slowly, red stones were piled up under the large bed at over.
Jin Rou looked at the sleeping old woman laying on the bed. Despite being old, the traces of beauty was still there. Her blonde hair remained the same, shining and glistening.
She looked like Moonshade, her mother. There was no doubt that the two had a parental connection just by a single glance.
