Chapter 445 - King Uranasia
Chapter 445 - King Uranasia
Jin Rou and the princess were walking side by side with no one talking. The princess felt like it was awkward thus she didn't say anything. After all, she lost to Xue Ziyan even though she wasn't permitted to. In fact, she was just waiting for the punishment to be exacted.
"You think I will really do something to you, right?" Jin Rou could sense the anxiety coming from the princess and chuckled, "It's actually okay that you lost the battle. It saved me so much trouble."
"What do you mean?" The princess was puzzled. She didn't know what Jin Rou was trying to say.
However, Jin Rou didn't answer it and kept on walking without looking at her again. He didn't feel the intent to answer the question, so he chose to ignore it.
Being ignored, the princess almost spurted blood. In her entire life, this was the first time she was ever treated this way. But she still opened her mouth and asked, "Where are we going?"
Judging by the current place, they were still inside the sky palace. However, she didn't know exactly where they were so she asked.
"I am just walking to sightsee. I don't know too where is this place." Jin Rou answered.
The princess pursed her lips and didn't ask more. She felt like if she asked more questions, she would just faint from it. It was obvious that this man had no interest in talking to her! She really had the urge to reveal her true self and make this man entranced for her.
But little did she know, Jin Rou already knew what her true self actually looked like. So, Jin Rou wouldn't be shocked anymore no matter how beautiful she was.
After an hour of walking, Jin Rou and the princess finally reached a certain place. It was giant hall with a big and golden throne. Then, there was a skeleton sitting on it wearing a golden robe. The crown was still hanging high there.
The princess stepped back several times in surprise and perplexity. She didn't expect that she would actually reach this place!
This was the hidden place of the sky palace. Only one person had reached this place in the past and was blessed extremely. From a commoner, he was immediately became a dragon soaring into the sky and becoming a respectable sage of all times.
Jin Rou just waited there, standing like a statue. He knew something would go on if he waited.
Just then, after two hours of waiting.
"Oh? A visitor?" The eye socket of the skeleton became red and felt like it returned to life. It moved its fingers and tapped the throne casually and said, "I didn't expect that someone will be finding this place once again."
The skeleton on the throne was looking at Jin Rou without reservation and the latter didn't mind.
"It is just by pure luck that I found this place." Jin Rou chuckled. Clearly didn't want to reveal information to the other party.
"If it's by luck considering your power level, then I don't know what to say." And of course, the skeleton didn't buy the reason. After all, you need power and perseverance to reach this place as he kept on revising and strengthening the place.
Jin Rou smiled and didn't comment on what the skeleton said, "You are the king of this Hidden Sky Palace, right?"
Considering the obvious facts, he concluded it to this point.
"Indeed, I am King Uranasia." The skeleton said proudly, "However, I am no longer the king as I am but a mere skeleton with almost no power left."
In the past, he was revered by many people and they kept on clinging on his thighs. Being a king of a independent world made him receive a lot of praise and respect. However, it was the opposite for the imperial family.
The imperial family was too prideful and arrogant that they made a rule that all places should be under their thumb. That's why when the Hidden Sky Palace declared its independency, the imperial family was outraged and warned palace to come under their rule.
However, King Uranasia didn't bite it and instead said that he won't be under their rule even if they waged war against his palace.
And so the family did. They gathered their most elite troops and trampled the palace without mercy. And King Uranasia was killed in the process and even the guardian Law Anxiu had to sacrifices his original body to survive.
Jin Rou was surprised to hear this story. It felt like this king was a hero. In fact, the skeleton was releasing such aura, "But even a universal law was forced to sacrifice his body to survive? How is that possible?"
It was what he wanted to know. As a law, this was a core question. After all, he would be fighting the imperial family sooner or later.
"I don't know too." The skeleton shook his head, "Anxiu didn't say anything at all when I asked him. However, there's only one possible conclusion that I can make."
"What is it?" Jin Rou asked. His nerves were tensed.
"The imperial family has a universal law, too." The skeleton said with seriousness. They were talking like long time friends.
"..." Jin Rou didn't know what to say. This was the best possible conclusion. After all, only a law could fight equally against a law too. However, it seemed that the law in the imperial family was much stronger than Law Anxiu that he was reduced to this state.
Jin Rou looked at the princess as if he was trying to mean something.
The princess immediately shook her head, meaning that she didn't know anything about this. After all, she wasn't yet qualified to know such classified information thus it was normal.
Jin Rou retrieved his gaze. He knew that the princess wasn't lying at all. However, he felt like the princess was hiding something but he didn't care about that now.
Then, when the skeleton saw Jin Rou looking at the woman beside him, he finally decided to take a good look at the woman too. And when he did, his eyes flashed with viciousness and the place was filled with killing intent.
