Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

*************

"Oh my, I'm so scared... Hahaha!"

The other two men laughed at their leader's sarcastic response to Arthur's question.

These men were robbers and had been in the business for a long time. They see Arthur as the biggest fish they have encountered in their path of robbery.

The bag of gold coins that Arthur dropped casually back at the Rose Gold Inn wasn't something just anyone could do.

One must know that there were at least a hundred gold coins in that little bag. The trio hadn't made such an amount of money at once in their entire lives. instead, they had to save up to get that amount.

The currencies in the continent have a very simple structure. There are copper coins, above that are silver coins, and then gold coins.

So;

> 100 Copper Coins = 1 Silver Coin.

> 100 Silver Coins = 1 Gold Coin.

The value of a hundred gold coins is equivalent to a thousand silver coins. Which was enough to feed them for a few months.

Not to mention that Arthur must have over a hundred times that amount if he can be casual with a hundred gold coins.

"Don't even think of trying to scare us with your identity. As we have dealt with countless 'Young Masters' like yourself," said one of the three.

"Yeah, we three men, fear no one. Hahaha!" Another said and laughed.

The leader looked the others in the eye and then they brought out weapons and walked closer to Arthur and Helia.

"You two must have quite the background, to be able to have a spacial ring in your possession," The leader of the trio said.

A spacial ring was an extremely rare treasure on the southern continent. Within the ring is an independent space where one can store different objects depending on their size.

Only the truly powerful sects and families own one. And even fewer can gift such a treasure to members of the younger generation.

'We have to finish this fast, and leave,' the leader thought.

Although they feared no one as they claimed. They would rather avoid trouble if they can.

Arthur shook his head, as a hundred gold coins were like trash to him. He had even more valuable currencies, but the frogs in the well would not be able to handle the shock if he showed them.

He didn't want to waste his breath, so he signaled at Helia. And she understood what he meant, and brought out a seal.

It was the seal of the Hartfield Empire and one that only royalty could have. And immediately the seal was brought out, the expressions of the three men changed.

They began to tremble in fear as they immediately put away their weapons.

*Thud!*

Their leader kneeled and banged his head on the ground as he said, "Oh great Sir. Please forgive me for being unable to recognize your greatness. We three brothers didn't mean you any disrespect."

The other two followed suit, and kneeled too, apologizing and pleading for their lives with trepidation in their hearts.

It could not be helped, as the authority of the Hartfield Empire was not for show. With how ruthless it was, no one dared offend even their servants, much less those of royal blood.

"My lord, please spare our lives!"

Helia put away the seal and looked at Arthur, "What do you think?"

Arthur was the one in charge here and would decide their fate. Although Helia wanted to just kill them and get this over with, Arthur had other plans.

'Hmmm, the average cultivation protagonist would show no mercy. Usually with the logic of dealing with future troubles.'

'But, does it always have to be that way? Could these fellows not be of some use?' Arthur thought.

After a few seconds, he suddenly recalled a certain matter and looked at the trio with a wolf-like smile.

***********

"Why didn't you just kill them?"

"I told you already, they have some use."

"Those fellows, what can they help you with?"

"You'll see."

"Ugh! You are so impossible to understand!"

Arthur chuckled at that as he looked around the cave they were in.

He had let the trio leave, but he put a tracker on them and a treasure that would let him communicate with them from a far distance.

After that, they jumped into the hole that the Beard Gang brothers entered and soon found themselves in this cave.

Walking ahead, they reached a dead-end with a wall covered in runic symbols.

"That's not right. Where are the brothers?" Helia asked in confusion.

"They must have entered this place somehow," said Arthur.

"These runes, do you recognize them?" Helia asked.

Arthur was much more knowledgeable than her. And was the one among the both of them that would know what the symbols might mean.

Arthur did not respond and just examined the symbols that were engraved into the wall.

"There aren't just symbols here. There is also a language written here with it. And it is one which I can not recognize..."

"That's weird... These symbols, are they?..." Arthur suddenly found a pattern that made him shocked and uncertain of his guess.

"What is it, what did you find?" Helia asked hurriedly.

"These symbols, they might be..."

The runic symbols lit up suddenly and a flash of light appeared and covered them both.

The light disappeared, and so did Arthur and Helia. By the time Arthur opened his eyes, he found himself in a hall.

The hall was wide and round. It had nine pillars at the center, forming a circle around what Arthur assumes to be an altar.

Everything here was also covered in runic symbols. From the walls to the pillars, most especially the altar, which had the most runes engraved on it.

An almost invisible veil of light surrounded the altar with the circle formed by the pillars.

And on that alter, lay a young boy that looked to be of the same age as Arthur. The boy had silver hair and looked pale.

Arthur was surprised at the turn of events and didn't know what to make of it.

"A teleportation formation. How can one still exist on the continent?" Arthur asked himself.

"And... Helia!" Arthur couldn't find Helia and panicked.

"Don't worry, your friend is safe."

An aged voice spoke suddenly. The sound of the voice came from all around the hall.
