These words made Yuna Sierra by the side frown in displeasure.

Who do these people think they are? They don\'t know how powerful this sect was, yet they dared to offer a ridiculous thing just because they are the Soaring Phoenix?

Jin Rou found this amusing, and said, "Why would you want to have us under your protection?"

"It\'s simple." The sectmaster beat his fingertips and said, "I can see a high potential from you and the sect. And I can see we will both benefit here this way, and in fact, probably, you might benefit more. After all, you will be under the Soaring Phoenix\'s protection. No one will be able to offend you again, and you will keep this sect alive. Not a bad thing, right?"

Jin Rou could not help but smirk. Although the sectmaster introduced some enticing points, it was just the tip of the iceberg. They truly wanted to rule over such a magnificent mansion like this. Perhaps they will force the sect to monopolize all of the things the LD sect had in exchange for their protection. Especially Yuna Sierra, who had a great power with a great beauty. If this sect would be under Soaring Phoenix, wouldn\'t it be giving the other party the right to claim their things?

Such an absurd thing.

If it\'s just an average sect out there, they would surely agree without further hesitations. They might crawl in happiness just because of it.

However, Jin Rou was not. "Your offer is good, sectmaster. But I refuse."

This made the Soaring Phoenix frown. The sectmaster immediately said, "Sectmaster Jin Rou, this is up for negotiations, so anything you want to discuss and add, please feel free to do so." He thought that Jin Rou declined because he thought it was non-negotiable. So immediately told him that.

"I know. However, my sect doesn\'t want to be under someone else. But if you guys want to be under us, we will be happy to welcome you." Jin Rou put his chin under his hands and smiled.

"What did you say?" The sectmaster revealed a terrifying killing intent and said, "Are you joking, Sectmaster Jin?"

"I\'m not. If you want to be under us, we will welcome you." Jin Rou smiled.

"Impudent brat!" The high elders could not take it anymore and stood up, lashing out to Jin Rou and revealing a terrifying killing intent. They were about to make a move when the sectmaster of theirs signaled them to stop, "Enough. We did not come here to break a fight."

"And here I thought you guys would be attacking since that man on your side said you will never share the same sky with us." Yuna Sierra said as she looked at Panra who was just observing things all the time. "What a pity, I would like to raze your sect to the ground."

"Yuna, that\'s enough." Jin Rou reprimanded Yuna Sierra.

She immediately shut her mouth while pouting.

"Alright then, since you are not interested in our proposition, then we could not anything about it. But before we leave, I wanted to invite you and your sect to the upcoming Sect Wars." Although the sectmaster was almost trembling in anger, he did all his might to hold it back. He could not just attack blindly since there was something odd.

"Sect Wars?" Jin Rou was puzzled, "What is that?"

"Sectmaster Jin did not know?" The sectmaster smiled, "Sect Wars is an annual event of the Royal Castle, managed by Administration. It is just a tournament between the first-rate sects. It determines the current rankings of the sects."

"We are only a third-rate sect, so it\'s impossible." Jin Rou said.

"It\'s not actually. Well, you can join the Battle Royale of the second and third-rate sects but it takes days before ending and it\'s not that great. So I advise you to enter the Sect Wars immediately. Of course, I would not say this if there wasn\'t a way." The sectmaster said.

"Does joining have benefits?" Jin Rou asked. If there were no benefits and just purely know who\'s stronger than who, then he would not join. After all, what\'s the use of such a title for him? He already had the best the universe could offer.

"Of course, there is! This is made by Royal Castle, after all. In case you win the Sect Wars, you will receive extravagant rewards! Last year, the rewards were 10 Quasi-Emperor Armaments and 5 Emperor Armaments with 1,000 Randomic Armaments." Sectmaster Marl said as he smiled.

"Impressive." This piqued Jin Rou\'s interest. These rewards were already enticing enough for him to join. After all, in this world, Emperor Armaments was the symbol of the sect\'s strength. If they could possess such Emperor Armaments, wouldn\'t it soar the sect\'s standing?

Jin Rou planned on making a bunch of Emperor Armaments, but if he did so, it might incur troubles. Besides, he still did not know what\'s the recipe of creating such armaments. After all, in their realm, the minimum and lowest Armaments used were Immortal Armaments.

"Right? So it would be good to join the Sect Wars this time around." The sectmaster said.

"So what\'s the way of entering?" Jin Rou asked without expecting anything.

"Don\'t be too fast, Sectmaster Jin." The sectmaster smiled, "Before I tell you, why don\'t we make a deal?"

As expected.— Jin Rou thought. He already knew this was coming, "Oh, what\'s the deal? I\'m all ears."

"Simple. I know it would not be difficult for you to enter the Sect Wars this time, so if you win against us during the Sect Wars, then my sect will become your vassal and pledge loyalty. However, if we win, you will be our vassal and pledge your loyalty to us." Sectmaster Marl said without fear.

This made Jin Rou smile, "Interesting. Fine, count me in."

"Haha! I knew you are an interesting fellow, Sectmaster Jin! Very well, here\'s the way. All you have to do is visit the Royal Castle and take the Battle Power Examination. The sectmaster is the only one required to take it. There would be many second-rate sects who would take the exam." The sectmaster withdrew a paper from his storage, "Here, this is the map to the Royal Castle. Although it would take a while before reaching it. Of course, this was not the real location of the Royal Castle since only a few of few knows it. This is just the place prepared by the Royal Castle for those who will take the Battle Power Examination."

Jin Rou received the map and said, "It seems that you already predicted everything from the start."

"Haha, it\'s no big deal. Just some minor calculations on my part. Very well, we will not be taking your time longer, so we will leave now. Let\'s meet at the Sect Wars two weeks from now." The sectmaster said as he stood up. The high elders also followed suit.

After which, they bade farewell to each other as Jin Rou saw them out.
