The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 305 Jimen Kanding Stunned
Seeing the fleeing enemy, Prince Dante and the others heaved a sigh of relief. The others from the Crimson Sun Sect also retreated when they discovered that most of their allies had escaped. Even their elders followed them, fearing that they would be slaughtered by the insane experts from the Heavenly Sword Tower.
“Brother Yang, you are too great! You managed to ignite everyone's spirit with a few words! I will follow you from now on!” Han Sen chuckled as he looked at their fleeing enemies.
Yang Zenke glanced at Han Sen with disdain. This guy's really become good at kissing someone's ass. He wondered where this fellow learned this from.
“Nothing special. Everyone wants cultivation resources, so I only use them to our advantage.” Yang Zenke said in a calm voice.
Prince Dante, Beiming Chu, and the others gathered towards Yang Zenke. They all had various wounds all over their bodies, but each of them had an excited expression. After all, they had just won a fight that did not benefit them, so everyone's excitement was understandable.
“Brother Yang, we managed to make them retreat, but we still have to go back and help Elder Hestia and Elder Hu Xiandao.” Prince Dante said.
Just as Yang Zenke was about to summon everyone, he suddenly felt two powerful auras coming towards them. He frowned and turned his eyes to the left. Prince Dante also noticed his reaction and he followed Yang Zenke's line of sight. To their surprise, they discovered that it was actually Hestia and Hu Xiandao.
“Greetings Elder Hestia, Elder Hu!” They greeted with respect.
Hestia and Hu Xiandao observed everyone and they both heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that they were all safe.
“Chairman, care for injured pupils. We will rest here for a few minutes before returning to the sword tower.” Hu Xiandao commanded with a firm voice. He was now a 9th rank Saint and he had a higher status in the Heavenly Sword Tower than these elders, so they immediately nodded their heads upon hearing his orders.
“Older Hu, are you sure we will rest here?” Prince Dante asked without saying a word. The Red Sun Sect knew this place and it would be bad if they asked for reinforcements. Some elders were injured and some disciples even suffered severe injuries. It would not be ideal if they were to fight under these circumstances.
Hu Xiandao glanced at the prince and laughed uncontrollably as he shook his head. “You don't have to worry about that. Elder Hestia and I dealt a huge blow to their troops and they will definitely hesitate to clash with us at this time. Just focus on recovery and go help those who need immediate attention.” Said the barbarian while patting Prince Dante on the shoulder.
Prince Dante wanted to say a few more words, but Hu Xiandao had already turned around, so he could only smile wryly. However, he was also surprised by the man's words.
From what he remembered, the two of them fought against dozens of elders and disciples from the Red Sun Sect, but from Hu Xiandao's tone of speech, he said, it seems like they won even when they were in a numerically unfavorable position. He wondered how the two had managed to win in that situation.
‘It looks like Elder Hestia's strength is unusual.’ He muttered in his heart as he looked deeply at the gentle-looking woman who was standing not far away from him. He still had the friendly smile he usually had at the wine shop.
In the main hall of the Crimson Sun Sect, Jimen Kanding sat on the head seat. His face was solemn and cold when he saw a group of elders and disciples kneeling before him.
“Speak. What the hell is going on over there? Why are you all in such a state?” Jimen Kanding asked in a calm tone. Although he sounded calm, everyone knew that he was angry.
“Ma-master Sect, we will depart to the place where the last young master was seen, but even before we can go there, we are actually ambushed by the experts of the Heavenly Sword Tower.” A disciple said in a stammering voice. His face was full of fear as he looked at Jimen Kanding.
“Expert from Heavenly Sword Tower? Are you sure about that?” Jimen Kanding held back his anger and asked.
“This ... Everyone who joined the expedition was a witness. Their robes had the emblem of the Heavenly Sword Tower. I am confident about this because I was present during the opening ceremony of the Heavenly Sword Tower.” The student immediately replied.
Jimen Kanding frowned hearing that. Now, he was one hundred percent certain that the Heavenly Sword Tower was the one that killed his son. Thinking of that, his eyes flashed coldly.
“Heavenly Sword Tower!” He muttered that name one word at a time, showing everyone how angry he was!
“Red. Those people are not simple. Even the elders they sent were not ordinary experts.” An old voice suddenly resounded within the main hall.
Everyone glanced at the source of the voice and saw an old man leaning over slowly walking with his cane.
Jimen Kanding's expression softened upon seeing this old man. This was his father and the grand elder of their current sect. He was also the strongest expert of their Red Sun Sect!
Grand Elder Jimen occasionally coughed as he moved slowly. Everyone's heart ached when they saw the old man's state. They knew that his health was already declining, but they could do nothing because no one could cure him.
“Dad, what do you mean?” Jimen Kanding asked gently.
Grand Elder Jimen stopped and sighed. His son really disappointed him. He did not even ask about his well-being and instead asked about something else.
“One of the experts they sent was someone at the late stage of Saint rank 9. His own strength was comparable to that of a Saint rank 9 pinnacle stage. In addition, there was also a barbarian at the beginning. The 9th rank saint that came with him. Even though he is weaker than that woman, this barbaric strength is at least as high as you.” Grand Elder Jimen slowly said. The old man's words surprised Jimen Kanding.
