The Adventures Of The Young Master

Hearing this, the old man felt his body tremble, "Your Majesty, please don\'t joke like that or else my little life might pass away immediately. My puny strength couldn\'t compared to the generals under your banner."

Han Li never lacked people in his side. As a matter of fact, there were many people who would be willing to surrender their lives to him. It\'s just a matter of whether Han Li was willing to take them in or not.

One must note that the challenge Jin Rou was talking about was a battle against the highest entity of everything, the Heavens. Too many sages tried to overcome it yet it always lead to failure, Han Li included. So, those who were picked by him were surely all powerful and heaven defying existences that could shake the realms.

"Right, I\'m just kidding." Jin Rou chuckled. He knew that the old man wanted to live and die in peace. Despite the old man\'s power level, Jin Rou wouldn\'t force him to do his bidding. Too many people had already sacrificed themselves for him in the past. How could he attain to do the same thing this time?

Jin Rou left the store. It was probably the first and last time he would met the old man so he deeply imprinted everything in his mind.

After Jin Rou left, the old man looked at the distant horizon that only him could see, "His brilliance shines still, as ever."

Jin Rou was staying by a cheap inn by the territory of Firm Sword. He didn\'t lack money or so but he still chose this cheap inn because it\'s the nearest where the Blissful Falls was located.

Blissful Falls was a popular place frequently visited by people. The falls was so large that the naked eyes couldn\'t cover the whole of it. Furthermore, this place was the area where the Firm Sword Festival usually held. In regular basis, the visitors here numbered up to ten thousand per day. But since it\'s the festival time, its number was doubled and there were times it was tripled.

It was noon when Jin Rou decided to check out. He paid his bill and noted the receptionist that he\'d return if needed so he left a few more dao stones. Even if he didn\'t return, the inn could just see it as his small charity.

"Rumble!" A shaking sound reverberated. Then, many swords flew above. They were dancing and in sync with each other. The falls were also creating a melodious sound which served as the music to the dancing.

Many people cheered, "It\'s starting!"

Firm Sword was a top lineage of this platform. They were responsible for upholding the laws of this region and the creation of the festivals.

Currently, there were three top sword lineages in Sword Platform. Being one of the top, Firm Sword showed great competence and authority to the public.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Firm Sword Festival!" A lady in red dress appeared. She was so beautiful that many eyes were fixated on her. Her blonde hair fell down as she continued, "I am Chinu, the current young mistress of Firm Sword. I am tasked to be the host of this year\'s event!"

Many cheered, especially the boys. Chinu was like a goddess in their eyes and she should be untouchable. Most importantly, she was the idol of many women here. After all, she was one of the sword talents of Sword Platform!

The sword talents were the greatest geniuses in this era. Meaning, they had the highest chance of becoming the next sword emperor. For Firm Sword, Chinu was their spoiled princess thus almost half of the entire resources were focused in nurturing her.

"Calm down, everyone." Chinu smiled. She loved the attention she was gaining, but there\'s an urgent matter to say, "I have an important announcement to say, before everything else."

The crowd shut their traps, waiting for the said announcement.

"The festival will be held in two days. The first day is to sell extravagant items at a cheaper price! We will set up stalls here for you to buy. The second is, a brief selection of lucky people who will accompany us in entering the Blissful Falls!"

The spectators was stumped. Someone asked, "The Firm Sword had already found a way to open the door behind the falls?"

The Blissful Falls was a majestic born of nature. However, it\'s not all. There was a mysterious door behind it. It was locked and no one could enter it. Even souls were rejected here. Firm Sword partnered with many researchers had studied the falls for countless years now, and it seemed their hard work paid off.

As for what\'s inside? No one knew. Many claimed it was a treasure trove, some said its a tomb. All in all, no one could confirm it.

Now that the Firm Sword was giving free tickets for the trip, how couldn\'t they not be elated?

They wanted to see what kind of things were there.

"Fools." Jin Rou shook his head. As the bearer of Han Li\'s memories, he knew so much regarding the closed door of Blissfull Falls.

His voice was not loud, but it\'s heard by the crowd. They glared daggers at Jin Rou and demanded an answer why they were called fools.

However, Jin Rou ignored their words and focused in himself. What\'s the use of saying it now?

"Daoist Brother, you seem to know something about the lake. Care to share it with us?" Chinu asked nicely.

"Indeed, I know many things regarding the cave. However, I have no plans in sharing it with you all." Jin Rou sorted. If they wanted to brace death that much, he wouldn\'t stop them.

"You sure talk a lot for a brat. If you don\'t want to come, don\'t, then. You\'re embarrassing yourself here." An ancestor said. The door of Blissfull Falls had been always a mystery to them. And now that there\'s a chance to see it, someone was ruining it for them. How could they swallow this anger?

"Stupidity at its finest." Jin Rou left and returned the inn. He had no plans in touching the dangerous waters and expend resources unnecessarily.
