Chapter 454 - Fluvial Kingdom
"Okay." Jin Rou didn't impose any longer and agreed. Though Priyo's power had deteriorated, he could still fight a few peak treasure-palace zeniths. So, he was still quite powerful, "Please be careful. And about your descendants..."
"Ah, there's no need to say something. It is their choice and their deaths are what they deserved." Priyo was sad because of their passing. However, he couldn't just blame it to Jin Rou. After all, Patrosh and the others were the one who initiated the attack. And Jin Rou's family just defended themselves. That's a very natural course of action, and no one should be blamed but his descendants. Either way, it still made him feel completely lost and depressed.
After a short pause, Priyo smiled and added, "Thank you for giving me this freedom, Jin."
Though Jin Rou didn't say anything, the old man knew that the chains binding him was more difficult to break. After all, he was helplessness against for so countless of years. In his estimations, Jin Rou used at least half of his whole strength to free him from those chains.
"You don't have to mention it." Jin Rou smiled and activated his gate, "Then I'll be going first. I hope your universe will gain its stability and peace once again with your arrival."
"Please take care too, Jin." The old man said, "You will face many powerful beings that could corner you. You might be a universal law, but the Prime family is unpredictable. You don't know what's up with them or whatever."
"I'll bear that in mind. Farewell." Jin Rou nodded seriously and entered the gate. He wasn't willing to stay more than required because if he did, the guilt may rise up and swallow him.
The old man knew this also and didn't comment on this. He looked up at the sky and murmured, "Prime family, you got yourself a formidable enemy this time."

In the deepest chamber of a palace, where no one but the emperor had the right to enter. A man with a normal stature was sitting in a lotus position. He had very handsome features that would shy all the living things here. With her pink hair in a bun, he was loke a mortal scholar trying to reach the dao. But in truth, he was gathering the power of heaven and earth and circulating it around him.
"Boom!" However, it was disrupted as he opened his eyes in shock.
"Impossible." The emperor widened his eyes, "How is that possible that old devil can escape that place?!"
He was the one who modified the place where Priyo was imprisoned. Thus, when he escaped, the emperor was the first one to feel it. He had planned the runes he used meticulous enough to seal the place. Yet, the devil still had managed to escape.
"Did the seal weaken?" This was the first thought that came into his mind. No one had the capabilities to enter that place. If there was, he would be notified about it. Yet, there was none of those signs.
The emperor paced back and forth of the room. He couldn't put his mind into ease even though there was the fact that the devil had no use to him now. After all, the devils had already done what should be done. Though they failed in the end, they at least managed to kill a member of the other celestial family.
"Who is capable enough to unrestrain the chains...?" He didn't want to believe it. Yet, this was the only possible cause for this. Someone managed to help the old man and helped him escape.
The emperor couldn't contain it anymore and immediately teleported to the place.
Upon reaching it, all he could see was the burning hut and everything. All of the things here were put up in fire. It wasn't an ordinary fire, it was a black fire that need to extinguish everything before stopping.
The emperor looked at each part of this place with calm attitude. But his eyes were giving him away. It was filled with rage and hatred.
He tried to find traces of the old devil. However, as a careful one, he already expected that it wouldn't bear any result.
"Since the goat has escaped, I need to find the patron kind enough to do this." The emperor vanished into thin air after saying this.
In actuality, he didn't need to search for the patron. Because the kind patron will be looking for him one of these days.

Jin Rou reached his target destination. The Fluvial Kingdom. After skimming into the third prince's memories, he found some vital information about the Prime family members' whereabouts.
And this kingdom was under the jurisdiction of the first prince, Raugel Prime. Actually, there were two kingdoms that were under him. However, Fluvial was his favorite place. Thus, he was staying here most of the times.
Jin Rou wanted to pay this prince a visit since he was so nice and kind.
The Fluvial Kingdom was centered in the middle of a vast garden of flowers and so to speak, it was one of the most beautiful kingdoms out there. That's why many women were migrating here because of this. And this was also the main reason why Prince Raugel Prime was here.
Jin Rou used a day to familiarize himself to the geographical map of this kingdom. He needed to know the ups, downs, sleeks and slides of this place so that he could put it into his advantage if the worst case scenario occurred.
He used two more days to gather information about the first prince and whatsoever that regarded him. When he gathered enough data, Jin Rou was already prepared to pay him a visit.
It was now midnight. And the first prince should still be up this time.
According to the information he gathered from the guards of this mansion a day before this, the prince was always alone after midnight since he was doing some training before going to sleep.
However, upon reaching the room where the prince resided, what met Jin Rou wasn't what he was expecting to see.
