And as expected, someone couldn't stop himself from saying, "Master President, please reconsider. The plateau is our life and if an outsider gets it, the other lands will look down on us."
Many expressed their agreements. It was true. Since they weren't the only one with moving land, those people might sneer at them once they found this out. They were a glorious land with many powerful tribes wanting to get a ride. Of course, they would be prideful. How could they rise their heads if other people knew that their land was given to someone with unknown origins?
The one who spoke was the Vice Master Raim of the plateau. He was the second highest ranking in the land so he had a say in this matter.
The old man in the high seat glanced at Raim and said, "Vice President, I don't mean to assume but are you challenging my words?"
Suddenly, the tension got thicker. Although the vice president didn't show it, many knew that he disliked the master and always opposed to his insights. Nevertheless, he never crossed the line afraid of those people's temper.
But it wasn't the same this time. It felt he was ready to oppose the master to the very end.
"Master President, it's not like that. I'm just thinking about the future of our plateau. It's more than given that we couldn't let anyone outside have this land. Not even the saints above could force us to, much less a person of we didn't personally know." Raim spoke solemnly. He was speaking as if he was telling the voice of the majority.

"I'd be glad to." Raim smiled. He found an opportunity to weaken the position of the old man and said, "If I deem as someone not so extraordinary, you have to take responsibility with your words, Master President."
Right now, Raim looked middle aged and filled with vitality. He was the perfect candidate to have the highest seat of the Black Sword Government.
"Unfortunately, you have made the wrong move." The old man shook his head and looked at the direction where the big door was.
"Bang!" Then out of the blue, someone slammed it open, revealing a young man with normal features. He looked like an ordinary man that could be found in all parts of the world.
"Who are you?!" The guards inside were alerted. There was no signal of intrusion or whatsoever, so they were stumped to see someone entering. Not even their high ranked persons felt his presence.
"Poof! Poof! Poof!" The guards' head rolled and blood splashed like a fountain. It was a vomit-inducing sight. Just in a second, many heads fell down to the ground.
"I advise you all not to do anything funny or else you all except the old man will die." Jin Rou's words were filled with malice. He slowly walked towards the old man in the highest seat.
The latter knelt and said, "Your Majesty, Shufeng greets you."
The old man was the highest ranking official person of their government yet he was kneeling in front of this man.
They've heard the legends of this man but they thought it was exaggerated. Now, they firsthanded saw how cruel he was. He just passed by, but heads rolled on the ground already.
Jin Rou walked up to the highest seat and sat there. He looked at the glaring gazes of the people present and smiled, "I heard a stupid dog saying that he'd be glad to meet me. Why don't you introduce yourself?"
Raim felt his body shaking. He didn't know why but he was shaking. He looked at Jin Rou and tried to act tough, "Mister, you have no right to sit on that chair."
"And you do?" Jin Rou refuted, "I'm sorry, but unless I say that you can be the master president, you cannot be one for the rest of your life."
"Waaang!" The land created a sound as if it was agreeing with Jin Rou's words.
Many were flabbergasted. The land never gave its approval except for the master president. However, it was being submissive towards this man.

Jin Rou sighed. He was just taking advantage of the fact that Han Li used to own this land. In actuality, it was Han Li who gave this land to Black Sword. It wasn't created out of the blue, it was more like a parting gift from him. This land was a living monster, and only a few knew this.
"Rise." Jin Rou commanded, "Contrary to your thoughts, I am not here to take the land. This is useless to me, so you all can have this."
Many heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Old Man Shufeng asked, "Then what is your reason, Your Majesty?"
The trip to the Black Government from the previous point wasn't a joke. One needed to spend important resources to find this location. Of course, the expense was just a speck of dust in Jin Rou's eyes.
"I just want to use the land to get to Omniland." Jin Rou said. He had a reason for going there and it's necessary, "I will just free the imprisoned monster there and let it wreak havoc in Sword Platform and Thousand Realms."
Although it was a joke, many felt their scalps tingling. Their imagination of the scenario terrified them to the bones. Some actually almost vomited.
"I'm just kidding, your kids are very serious." Jin Rou chuckled. He had no reason to destroy the realm and Sword Platform. If it would be destroyed, the reason wouldn't be him.
"They are trained to be like that, pardon them Your Majesty." Shufeng felt his hands sweating. He, too, believed the words and felt horrified. Nevertheless, he still could hid it, "But may I know why you want to go there to the Omniland?"
Although it's possible to go there, the resources were too much for the plateau to carry.
