"You idiots, stop!!" This cold voice suddenly rang in everyone\'s ears as it made the whole void tremble. The voice was filled with madness as if it was desperate.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Suddenly, the three knights knelt down because of a heavy pressure that was pressing on them.

"..." The three knights knew this voice very well and revealed pale expressions. They almost cursed out loud in frustration and confusion.

Soon, the void cracked and an old man wearing a white robe appeared. He was like a celestial that came from another place as he gave off a vibe of an otherworldly being.

His long white hair was fluttering in the wind as it danced with the tune the wind was giving.

All of the people who saw this man immediately wanted to kneel down in reverence.

This old man was a prestigious being. Someone who stood at the apex of this world.

An Ancient. Definitely an Ancient.

"Woodrain Ancient..." A spectator muttered in low voice as he almost fell down, "An Ancient has come into being."

Woodrain Ancient was one of the two Ancients of Imperial Grounds. He was known for being so strict and grumpy towards his direct disciples. He was also known as someone merciless who could kill without batting an eyelid.

And he had a short temper that people were greatly intimidated of beside from his power.

After all, this old man wasn\'t easy to talk with.

The far-away spectators were shocked when they saw Ancient Woodrain. After all, he came with his real body!

What did it mean for coming here with his real body? Heavenly Tribulation might be triggered.

What kind of identity did the other party possess that even Woodrain Ancient needed to come over?

Take note, this was an Ancient we\'re talking about.

They couldn\'t help but look at the unknown young man once again.

"You birds of the same idiotic feathers, really do flock together!" Woodrain Ancient\'s mad voice made the land trembled once again, "I ordered you to ask questions, but I didn\'t say you can fight!"

The three knights dropped their heads down in silence. The scene was like their father was reprimanding them for doing something idiotic.

Well, they almost really did something idiotic and that move might have killed them.

Thankfully, Woodrain Ancient followed them or else Imperial Grounds would have a tremendous loss. After all, Fate Emperors were the main battle force of their constellation.

If to say, these knights were killed, the fighting power of the constellation would greatly reduced and it might signal the decline of them. And besides, these three were the best seeds their constellation possessed. In maybe a few hundreds of years, they might become the new Ancients of their constellation!

What did it mean to have 5 Ancients in a constellation?

Scary. Terrifying.

Remember, the top powers of this world has only one alive Ethereal and a one or two Ancients at the same time!

So, Woodrain Ancient couldn\'t let that happen.

This was something that he would do everything to save them.

Even at the cost of his life.

"This Youngmaster here..." After scolding the trio, Woodrain Ancient walked over to Jin Rou and said, "I am called Woodrain Ancient, please spare my students for offending you. In return, I will compensate you in any possible way I can."

The eyes watching them were stumped. An Ancient was seemed to be begging someone from the younger generation? This was something inconceivable!

Woodrain Ancient was an apex existence. What did the young man warrant to have this kind of attitude from an Ancient?

"Since you have came here personally, of course, I wouldn\'t pursue this matter any longer. I shall give Woodrain Ancient face." Jin Rou casually said. It seemed like he was talking with a friend.

The trio couldn\'t help but raise their heads in surprise. This young man was actually talking so casually in front of an Ancient!

" Then, you have my gratitude, Youngmaster... " Woodrain Ancient said.

"Jin, call me Youngmaster Jin." Jin Rou answered.

"Then, Youngmaster Jin, how about you visit us in our humble place? Though I don\'t know if it would be up for your liking." Woodrain Ancient offered with a beaming smile.

The trio were once again shaken. Their master was smiling towards an unknown man? They were feeling bitterness in their hearts.

"Sure. Lead the way." Jin Rou answered and sent a telepathic message towards Owner Bu.

Owner Bu nodded after hearing this.

—

Along they way, the three knights were keeping on sending telepathic messages towards their master as they were utterly confused by this.

After a few minutes of forcing their master, Woodrain Ancient finally gave in and said, "I don\'t know the specifics but this is something that Stronghold Ancient said to me."

Stronghold Ancient was the strongest Ancient of the Imperial Grounds. He was very famous for battling an Ethereal alone and survived.

And right now, he was in a seclusion as he was about to reach a breakthrough in his dao. For hundreds of thousands of years, no one had seen him now.

"What did Stronghold Ancient said?" The trio was curious and asked.

"If you can\'t befriend that man, then don\'t offend him or else it might be the ending of our Imperial Grounds. That is what he said." Woodrain Ancient said.

"Impossible! That\'s impossible!" The trio instantly denied this notion.

"It is not. Even I, an Ancient, feel like I have no chance of winning against him at all. It was already a merciful deed for sparing you idiotic birds back there." Woodrain Ancient said.

As he already experienced millions of battles, his instincts was fortified to its maximum degree. And when he faced with Jin Rou, his instinct was keeping on giving him warning signals as if it met a dangerous predator.

Just how many people could threaten him here in True? Even Ethereals didn\'t give him such warning signals as if it was desperate to convince him to run away.

But just after a few minutes, they already arrived in Imperial Grounds.
