The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 134 The Fierce Will of Emperor Elyk
Theia stepped inside the second floor of the shop and saw seven people standing in front of a painting. Their faces were filled with confusion and astonishment as if they were trying to distinguish something from the painting. Seeing their expressions, Theia sneered in contempt and walked towards them.
Stepped over. Stepped over. Stepped over.
“Hmm?” Emperor Elyk and the others turned their gazes towards Theia and their faces immediately became soft. They knew that he was one of the top experts under Jiu Shen, so they did not dare to be arrogant before him.
“Young Miss Theia, what brings you here? Young Miss Hestia has already come down to issue an order, and we have not got any more orders.” Defender Duanmu smiled respectfully as he spoke.
Theia glanced at him for a moment, but she ignored Defender Duanmu and did not reply. Instead, he turned his gaze to the emperor and said with an indifferent gaze. “My master found a place to inhabit those children, but it was a battle arena of ferocious beasts owned by noble families. Since it was an illegal place, I told them to scram and kill some of their people.” Her voice sounded calm and unhurried as if she was just telling me a small matter, you know, but those who heard him instantly furrowed his brows.
Emperor Elyk already knew about the existence of the ferocious beast fighting arena in Beltran City, but he ignored his presence because it did not do anything too outrageous on the surface. Furthermore, he also discovered that the place was protected by the Xue Family, and with the precarious state of their Silver Wing Kingdom, he did not want to involve himself with the Xue Family at the moment. However, this matter became even more complicated with Jiu Shen's involvement, and as the emperor, he couldn't act as if he didn't know anything or he would definitely make Jiu Shen unhappy.
“It looks like Young Miss Theia has seen the vile behavior of the people from the fierce beast fight arena. Don't worry, I'll handle everything and make sure that the noble families protecting this place will be punished accordingly.” Emperor Elyk's expression was dignified as he said those words.
Although he wanted to remain neutral in this situation, the other party involved was Jiu Shen, and he did not want to destroy his good relationship with him just for the Xue Family's ferocious beast battle arena. He might face retaliation from the Xue Family, but Emperor Elyk did not care. Their Silveria Imperial Family still had a great secret that no one else knew about other than himself. That secret was enough to protect their Silver Wing Kingdom from calamity, but he did not want to reveal it too soon. He did not even take it out when a dragon came in front of their door. However, for the sake of maintaining his friendly relationship with Jiu Shen, he did not mind revealing it from the very beginning…
Theia looked at the emperor and realized that the emperor might already know of the existence of the fighting arena of ferocious beasts. He felt even more contempt in his heart when he learned of this, but his face remained calm and cold. “Because the emperor already knows their fraudulent actions, I hope you will not sit idly by and do nothing. I don't want my master to be used as a borrowed knife to kill your enemies. My master may not care about that. , but I'm not the same.” His voice was extremely cold and the eyes he used to see on the emperor flashed with ruthless killing intent, scaring everyone on the second floor. Even the Highest elder Qi Hongtian who possessed the spiritual strength of a 9th rank Saint was astonished by the killing intent unleashed by Theia. As for the others, they gulped in fear as they stared at her peerless beautiful face wearing an aloof expression. She looked like an ice goddess looking down on the mortal world!
Emperor Elyk was terrified as he felt his fluctuating killing intent, but the dignified expression on his face did not waver. He had faced death many times in his life, but he was still here standing with great determination. He forced a smile and gestured for Theia to calm down with both hands. “Young Miss Theia, calm your anger. I will take immediate action after I leave the store, and I will not let anyone bully Wine Master Jiu. They have to get past me first before they can do that!” His majestic and valiant imperial aura involuntarily gushed out from his body as he uttered words that greatly reduced the pressure on everyone from Theia's killing intent.
Theia looked at Emperor Elyk deeply as if she was trying to see through his soul. The highlight of his eyes made the emperor feel a trace of terror in his heart, but he outwardly remained calm. Seeing this, Theia praised him inwardly. ‘What an incredible character for an emperor in the mortal world! If he was born in the Primordial God Realm, he might even become a famous expert ..’
“I will remember your words. Don't disappoint my master.” He mumbled coldly before leaving the second floor, leaving seven people standing there with buckets of sweat running down their faces.
Phew.
Duanmu's defenders and the three guards had expressions of fear in their eyes, and they could barely move their slightly shivering legs.
Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi were both astonished by Theia's strength, but knowing that Jiu Shen might be stronger than her, the two of them did not feel surprised that she was willing to follow Jiu Shen.
In the end, Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian still warned the emperor out of goodwill. “Elyk, Young Miss Theia is already a Saint realm expert of rank 9, and Wine Master Jiu is someone even stronger than her. Don't do something that will destroy the relationship between the two of you. It won't be good for your silver. Wing Empire to make it your enemy.”
Emperor Elyk furrowed his brows when he heard those words, but he was not so surprised that he had seen for himself the strength of Jiu Shen. In fact, he had already planned to mobilize the Silveria Imperial Family's forces to intimidate the Xue Family when Theia talked about the ferocious beast battle arena.
Emperor Elyk cupped his fists at Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian and replied in a calm voice. “I understand, Highest Elder Qi Hongtian.” He then turned to look at Defender Duanmu and the other three guards and commanded with an imposing look. “The four of you, go back to the imperial palace and gather some of our men to intimidate the Xue Family, but don't do anything too serious to damage the Xue Family. We don't want civil war at a time like this.”
Duanmu's defenders and the other three solemnly bowed to the emperor. “We comply, Your Grace.”
They hurriedly left the second floor after that.
“I hope this problem will not escalate any further. The Blue Fang Empire and the Violet Thunder Empire looked at our land with hungry eyes all along. If a civil war breaks out within my Silver Wing Empire, both of them will definitely take action. . Not to mention other sects and powers that had the same intentions. Sigh.” Emperor Elyk sighed and shook his head.
Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian and Master Fengzi glanced at the emperor with a hint of pity in their eyes. Being an emperor was really not easy, and even a talented person like Emperor Elyk might not be able to handle the situation if his kingdom was faced with a combined attack in all directions.
“If you can somehow get the help of Wine Master Jiu, then your Silver Wing Kingdom might be able to cope with anything that might happen.” Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian said as he patted the emperor's back excitedly.
Emperor Elyk's eyes burned with determination as he muttered loudly in his heart. ‘I will make sure that my Silver Wing Empire will not fall from this war!’
