The Adventures Of The Young Master-Chapter 940 Emperor Burial Grounds

"I understand." Sylvianna bowed her head. She felt little and weak. It was the feeling of being a mere speck of dust in the grand scheme of things.

"My words are still the same. You cannot defeat Ancient Paragon with your strength right now. But, if you think you feel obligated to confront him, feel free to do so." Jin Rou didn't try to stop Sylvianna. What she wanted would be up to her, in the end.

"Then what should I do?" Sylvianna asked. She really didn't know what to do. Get stronger? With her age and level, it's almost impossible. She was already past the time when she could get stronger whenever she wanted.

"If you pledge your undying loyalty to me, I can give you a path to contend against that existence." Jin Rou said. In order for Sylvianna to be a complete help for Jin Rou during the challenge, she needed to be stronger than this. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

They only had a deal, the loyalty was a surface-level. But now, Jin Rou wanted her undying loyalty. It just meant that Sylvianna would be bounded by Jin Rou's orders.

Sylvianna didn't answer immediately. This was difficult to decide in a whim. She weighed her pros and cons regarding the matter. In truth, following Jin Rou was nothing but full of benefits and she was aware of that. Just the downside was she's being used like a chess piece.

Compared to the latter, the former outweighed the cons. But the issue was, she would be forever bounded to Jin Rou if she pledged loyalty to him.

Jin Rou didn't rush her and gave her time. This type needed a space to think about it thoroughly.

After an hour, Sylvianna knelt down and said, "Sylvianna Blackmauve will be your shield and sword from now on until death."

It was an oath that she could never break. Once she breaks it, she would face severe consequences even without Jin Rou's interference.

Jin Rou smiled and nodded in satisfaction, "Rise."

Jin Rou stood up and added, "Now that you pledged your loyalty to me, I will help you in any way possible to achieve your goals."

"Thank you, Young Noble." Sylvianna was acting as a subordinate now. But she was rest assured that Jin Rou would be doing the end of his deal.

"I have nothing suitable for your kind in my inventory right now." Jin Rou told, "And as of now, you have 0.2% of winning chances against Ancient Paragon."

Although there was very small chance, Sylvianna wouldn't hold on to it unless she's willing to die. 0.2% was too little of a winning possibility. She needed at least 10% or more.

"So, we will go to a certain place and find some treasures that might be suitable for you." Jin Rou moved his fingers and a warp gate appeared.

"Where, Young Noble?" Sylvianna was a bit confused.

"You will know once you enter." Jin Rou chuckled, "It will be a lot of fun than you imagined."

Sylvianna's brows twitched. She knew it was the reverse case of what Jin Rou said. In any case, she still entered the gate and Jin Rou followed suit. Their goal here in Winter Worst Sea was already done, and it's time to move on."

The Emperor Burial Grounds were like as it stated in its name, the burial place of emperors. It was located in the far outskirts of Western Emperor Region, and usually not visible to people. People with knowledge and skills had to tweak several steps in order to enter the place.

More often than not, the burial grounds was a place sects used to visit to commemorate their dead era emperors, or those who disappeared without a notice. It was a practice of the past and currently, not so many were still visiting the place.

Of course, since it was a burial ground, there would be tomb riders who aimed for imperial treasures. Remember, it was the dying place of era emperors of the past and who knew how many heaven defying treasures were there?

Unfortunately, they couldn't find nothing.

Jin Rou and Sylvianna were in the burial ground right now. It was the location the warp gate dropped them off. The burial ground was usually covered in thick fog, but Jin Rou did something which cleared it.

"Are we going to rob some emperors, Young Noble?" Sylvianna felt this was not a good idea. The Emperor Burial Grounds was a respected place by the masses. If anyone caught wind of what they're doing here, they would immediately hunted by many sects. Not to mention, this was in Western Emperor Region, the home of era emperors!

"Yes. There are a few treasures here that remained stagnant. It's useless for them to stay here so you will take it." Jin Rou chuckled. According to Han Li's memories, there were some secrets in the burial grounds that only a very few like him knew. And now, Jin Rou was utilizing the information to gain the treasures. After all, it would be benefit the little girl.

"Young Noble, I don't doubt your power but aren't we going to earn the ire of the masses by this?" There were several powerful lineages in the Western Emperor and one usually didn't want to mess with them.

"Era Emperors or whatnot, they're nothing in my eyes. If they are smart, they will not dare to face me." Jin Rou smirked.

After a few turns, they finally reached a small tomb. The stone had no name on it. There was only a claw scratch as if something did that.

"This is the tomb." Jin Rou said, "Now, dig up and you will see some treasures below, get it immediately."

Sylvianna didn't refute more and did what she was told. After digging tens of times, she finally saw something shining inside the tomb. It was a necklace, a golden one, with a fish figure in the middle. She observed it found it ordinary at the start, but as time ticked, the mysteries were unfold right to her.
