However, how could Jin Rou let one of them escape? If he did, he's just asking for future troubles in the future, then.

"I'm sorry but you two will going to stay here." Jin Rou heard their conversation and said. He increased the spear's power by many folds which eventually made the cauldron almost break.

"No, hang on!" Fli gritted her teeth and pour every last bit of qi inside her body, "I just need you to last a bit so that my sister can go by."

She was preparing for the portal for her sister. As she was very occupied by defending from this attack, it was taking her longer to create one. Shu was helpless too, because only her sister and the now dead Gli were capable of creating portals. After all, they reached an unfathomable state in space control.

"Crack! Crack!" However, it wasn't looking optimistic for the two ancestors. The spear wasn't stopping at any moment and would surely pierces them together like a barbeque for sure.

"..." Fli could see the death incoming their way. She abandoned all her connection with the cauldron and concentrated on creating the portal, she just needed 5 seconds more and Shu would escape safely.

"Boom!" But the five seconds was rather too long for them as the spear had successfully destroyed their last layer of protection!

Fli knew that she failed, they failed. Thus, she closed her eyes in helplessness after looking at Shu with apologetic eyes. Shu had already known what was Fli trying to say so she shook her head, telling it was okay.

Perhaps, they weren't successful right now and many wouldn't in the future. But they were still hoping that there would be people who would follow their steps to take their freedom back in cultivating.

"Whoosh!" The spear was unstoppable with myriad worlds in its weight. It passed through all the voids and premises, leaving an ancient mark. However, just when everyone was expecting the death of the two... A hand suddenly appeared. It contained the myriad worlds in his hand and suppressed it.

"Oh?" Jin Rou smiled and said, "Looks like someone is here to save you two."

Then, a woman with a youthful face appeared out of her spacial dimension. She looked like a scholar of sorts as she walked slowly through the empty air. She was carrying the dao in her back, with her white robe fluttering in the wind.

The stars would blush when they see this woman, a unique beauty that could capture everyone's attention.

When the two river ancestors saw this woman, they became teary eyed and knelt in front of her.

The woman didn't mind their kneeling and just looked at Jin Rou with respect, cupping her hands, "Hello, Fellow Daoist. My name is Riverfairy. I am pleased to meet you."

Riverfairy! Everyone got goosebumps when they heard this title.

"Riverfairy Progenitor. The sole rival of Riverwood True God." An expert exclaimed, "To think that she is still alive, when Riverwood has already been dead..."

Riverfairy Progenitor was one of the most brilliant progenitors of this world. She was capable of contending against true gods with 13 laws. Take note, progenitors even at the immortal level would have a hard time dealing with true gods of 12 laws. It would be a miracle if they survive the assault.

But Riverfairy was different. She had stepped into the hidden realm of immortal progenitor, Stardao.

This information wasn't known by everyone and in fact, only those who have high status and power had the luxury to learn this. After all, it was very hard to attain and it still needed further research to prove the power of a stardao.

However, the fact remained that a stardao could battle against a true god with 13 laws! That's why she was capable of being a rival for Riverwood.

"Hello." Jin Rou gave back the greetings and said, "What brings someone of your level here?"

Though Jin Rou asked this, he already had the answer to this question.

"Fellow Daoist, you may have guessed it already." Riverfairy's voice was very soft and comforting, "I am here to ask you to spare my sisters. Though they are like this, they are good people."

"I don't know if they are good or bad, but the fact is still there that they rised a rebellion against the family. That's a grave offense that they needed to pay." Jin Rou shook his head, "So I can't do anything about it."

"..." Riverfairy didn't know what to say. It was true, everybody knew how grave offense this was to the family. After all, the river ancestors were trying to get the freedom they wanted even at the cost of turning a big force into dust.

Silence ensued the entire place. No one dared to talk, even the spectators didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"Is there no other way around this, Fellow Daoist?" Riverfairy broke the deafening silence and asked, "We can talk this through."

The progenitor wanted to settle this via negotiation. She was willing to give concessions even she got the shorter end of the stick. As long as she could save the ancestors, then it's okay no matter what.

"I'm sorry but this isn't up for negotiation." Jin Rou shook his head, "They need to die here and right now. Of course, if you can think of something to save them while I'm here, I don't mind you doing that. Just don't let me catch you."

"It seems like I have to overestimate my capabilities, then." Riverfairy wryly smiled, "Fellow Daoist, very well."

"So you decided to fight for them?" Jin Rou smirked, "You are a talent, a progenitor that could be a celestial general at your whim. However, you remained to this land and protect it."

"I have nothing but old bones now, Fellow Daoist." Riverfairy took the compliment well and answered, "All I can do now is to try to save these two with my limited capabilities."
