Chapter 880 Treasurehunt Era Empress
Han Li always treasured bonds. Though he usually didn't show in the outside, he was deeply caring in the inside. Many said that he was heartless demon, a butcher who wouldn't bat an eye to kill millions to billions if it's for the sake of humanity.
But little did they know, it wasn't all the truth. And the Era Empress buried here could be one of the witnesses, receiving Han Li's blessing in the past.
Treasurehunt Era Empress. It was the name of the person buried here. She wasn't a talented girl but managed to step into the emperor realm with her perseverance and Han Li's guidance. She loved collecting treasures, thus her dao name was like this. Though she wasn't that brilliant in terms of power level, what made her terrifying was the beast with her. The Sphinx Lord. It was a beast a lot stronger than her and it killed too many to count enemies to protect the empress.
Han Li gave that beast to her when it was just a little and now it grew to this large. Though it wasn't Jin Rou's memories, since he was connected with Han Li's emotions, he was feeling what Han Li must have felt right now.
"So she managed to sweep the realms." Jin Rou smiled. Countless memories were playing in his mind right now, "But I guess everything will always come to an end."
Still, the empress died. Even she couldn't avoid the erosion of time. At the very least, she died of a natural cause.
Linggu observed the young man in front of him. He had been calling a powerful being his brother? It was already his luck that he was still alive.
"Brother Linggu, don't look at me like that." Jin Rou looked at him and said, "I am still the same. I just don't show my power unless it's necessary."
"I see, Brother Jin." Linggu tried to calm his heart down, "But I guess, speaking of that beast, this is not an ordinary Era Emperor Tomb...?"
"It's indeed not." Jin Rou was looking at a wall, "This is Treasurehunt Era Empress' place. This is her palace, but eventually turned into a tomb when she died."
"Treasurehunt Era Empress!" It came from Jin Rou's mouth, so the credibility was high hence the gasp of Linggu.
This dao title was famous in the Southern King Region. After all, it was a name that deterred many enemies from invading the south!
In the past, powerhouses from the Northern Queen Region tried to monopolize the resources of the Southern King Region like it was their turf. Although the south was angry by this deed, they couldn't actually fight back by that time as all three superpowers of the region was suffering a setback.
While the three superpowers were unable to do something, someone stepped up and made a bold move.
Killing those who trespassed without hesitation. Of course, this earned the ire of the north and they immediately dispatched people to take care of the perpetrator. Unfortunately, they weren't lucky as none of those they dispatched returned alive.
Just imagine. A single woman and a beast in tow managed to prevent the north from swallowing their lands? It's almost impossible to imagine that it could be the truth!
And because of that, the Northern Queen Region stopped doing drastic moves. After all, they lost too many people during that time. Since that incident, Treasurehunt Era Empress resounded with praises and thanks from the masses. Many actually idolized her for what she did. Also, there were those who criticized her reckless movement.
All in all, she became famous overnight.
"Brother, how strong was Treasurehunt during her prime?" Linggu's idol was she. So he couldn't help but ask. He was aiming to be like her, an emperor that loved treasure hunting.
"Very strong." Jin Rou smirked, "Even Era Emperors older than her had to weigh their pros and cons before antagonizing her. After all, though she was a carefree soul, she was a ruthless killer."
Han Li thought her not to show mercy to enemies. Showing mercy was showing weakness. Anytime, it could be taken advantage and it could cost your life.
Linggu's eyes brightened. Her idol was too amazing indeed! No wonder she could instill fear into the enemies especially in the north.
"Does the Northern Queen Region still cause trouble here?" Jin Rou asked. The north always tried to provoke the south in the past but during Treasurehunt's era, they didn't create a move. Now that she was gone, they must be planning to or they already created their move.
"Yes, Brother Jin." Linggu's expression turned dejected, "But their movements aren't malicious yet. Perhaps they are still cautious if some experts are still around that could cause them more trouble."
"Of course, it's that way." Jin Rou sneered, "They lost limbs during Treasurehunt's era and now that they haven't felt her aura, they must be assuming now that she's either hibernating or met eternal rest."
The north had always wanted the land of the south. The environment of the latter was greater compared to the former, thus they were aiming to have this land as well. Too bad though, they couldn't make big moves as the not to mention the threat of Treasurehunt, the three superpowers of Southern King Region were active as well.
How could they make moves when eyes were everywhere? As much as possible, the north would try to avoid an all out war with the south. After all, even if the north won the war, the losses must be massive and it couldn't be recovered even after a long span of time.
"Their ambitions, especially those snakes, are over the top still." Jin Rou sighed. Since he's here, he's going to amend this if ever the north tried to be bold when he's present.
After that talk, Jin Rou and Linggu got out of the cave. Then, it disappeared like it wasn't there to begin with. Black Mercenary was also no more as they lost most of their men in this raid.
