Many hated Han Li for abandoning their ancestor and choosing the arduous dao. It was a selfish reason for them, but little did they know that they were the ones being selfish. After all, Han Li had every right to decide his path. Furthermore, he already said it that no one would be able to stop him. He wouldn't turn back for anyone.

He made it clear, but not just everyone understood it.

"You think he will be victorious this time?" Winter Sectmaster asked. She wasn't doubting Jin Rou's capabilities, the enemy was just that strong that his win wouldn't be guaranteed.

"I've seen him collecting treasures from place to place. So I'm sure he's almost ready." Sylvianna responded as she asked for seconds, "And with me here, his chances of winning the war will be higher."

"I'm surprised that another member of that Blackmauve has survived." Winter Sectmaster expressed it, "I thought that it was just that man who survived the catastrophe. After all, he claimed to be the sole survivor."

"Did he come here?" Sylvianna raised her brow.

"Yes, he tried but we turned him away." Even a descendant of Blackmauve was turned away by Winter Sect.

"That serves him right." Sylvianna chuckled, "He's nothing but an illegitimate bastard at best. How dare he claims to be the sole survivor of the family? Not to mention, he's attracting too much attention for himself as if he's looking for death."

The Blackmauve was shunned and hunted by many powerhouses. As they could be seen as treasures with high worth, many were dying to get their hands on one. Now that one had explicitly showed himself and identified as Blackmauve, those greedy old folks would surely try and capture him.

"So you are the heir of the Blackmauve." Winter Sectmaster said. Despite being an ancient sect, their information about Blackmauve was very limited. After all, the Blackmauve was from the Central God Region.

"Who else but me?" Sylvianna smugly said, "If I'm not, that bastard Han Li will not even make a deal with me."

Winter Sectmaster chuckled after hearing this, "That's true."

Han Li was the type to never help anyone without getting anything in return. Unless it benefited him, he wouldn't do it. There was no free lunch in this world, after all. If you want something, pay for it.

While the two were busy chatting, Jin Rou was already inside the place of New Eye. It was a cave with metal walls. He was walking slowly trying to sense the vital signs of Snowinter.

Soon, a figure was waiting for him ahead. He was wearing a black suit and an eye symbol on the chest part.

"Gentleman, this place is off-limits. I advise you to go back to where you came from and I will act like this never happened." The figure said. He was observing Jin Rou and thinking of his possible moves.

"I'm not in a good mood today, so you can keep your life you step aside." Jin Rou walked slowly towards the figure, "Or you can die here. Pick."

"It seems like this gentleman is very confident in himself." The figure was about to take out his weapon when he realized something stabbed his chest.

Jin Rou walked past him and said, "I got your answer, so just die."

The figure didn't know what happened and just died with his eyes open. He was filled with confusion and perhaps regret.

As Jin Rou walked by, three ancestors came up but he immediately killed them like the first one. For him, they were like insects that needed to be swat to death.

After the three ancestors, no one appeared again. As this was a long passage, it took Jin Rou an hour before actually coming to the room where he sensed Snowinter. As he opened the door, he saw her sitting on a rocking chair.

Her beautiful face didn't change. She was a toppling beauty that could shame the fairies and the stars above. It was no wonder Han Li liked this woman in the past.

Snowinter opened her eyes and smiled, "I know you will came."

"It looks like you have calculated that I will come for you here." Jin Rou laughed. He sat on her bed while looking at her. Han Li's emotions were turbulent right now that it affected Jin Rou, "You're alive and well."

"Although it's a bit off according to what I calculated, the result is still the same." Snowinter's voice was angelic, a soothing music to one's ears, "You still have come and save me."

"Save? What to save? You purposely staged everything to get away from your sect." Jin Rou shook his head and said, "This is not New Eye. They are puppets you created."

"What, I can't even hide this from you? Oh my." Snowinter laughed sweetly, "I want to outsmart you even just once, you know?"

"You can try after several millions of years." Jin Rou smiled, "You can just say that you didn't want to stay at Winter Sect, what's the need for staging the New Eye for something like this?"

"I just want to experience being kidnapped like a helpless princess and wait for my prince charming to save me, I guess?" Snowinter chuckled, "And here you are, my prince charming saving me from the bad guys."

"You and your childishness." Jin Rou shook his head and flicked the woman's forehead, "Quit playing and go back to Winter Sect. They need you."

"They can fend for themselves." Snowinter smiled, "I'm not needed there. Unless those people from New Eye really has the guts to come."

"Still, those cute disciples of yours are worried about you. One of them even wanted to cut my throat. Just how did you try to raise them?" Jin Rou complained.

"Well, they cannot let go of the past yet, that's why." Snowinter laughed, "Don't mind them. As if they can really reach your throat. Even I cannot do it even if I'm serious."

It was true. Despite being a powerful Executioner, Snowinter wouldn't be able to even injure Jin Rou in a fight.
