The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 306 Return
Jimen Kanding furrowed his brows. His father's words were too hard for him to believe. An early stage 9th rank saint had the same level of strength as him? That's unimaginable! After all, he was already a late stage 9th rank Saint and he was only a few steps away from the 9th rank Saint pinnacle stage.
“Dad, I understand that barbarians are physically stronger than others, but is that man really as strong as me?” Jimen Kanding asked doubtfully. He was confident in his own strength, so how could he accept the fact that someone who was two small realms inferior to him in cultivation possessed the same strength as him?
Grand Elder Jimen recalled that red-haired barbarian figure. He could still remember the man's physical explosion. From that alone, he could already tell that the barbarian was a body strengthening expert.
It should be noted that body strengthening is much more difficult to train than ordinary true essence cultivation. After all, the latter only depended on one's talent, whereas the former depended on one's willpower. Not everyone has enough willpower to withstand the excruciating means of improving the physical body. Only a few individuals could reach the high realm in terms of body strengthening.
“If you don't believe me, then you can go ahead and face that person. Their group should still rest not far from here.” Said the old man before leaving the main hall. No one dared to stop him.
Jimen Kanding stared at his father figure with complex emotions. The mighty father he once admired had now become a decrepit old man one step closer to the door of death.
‘The old man could only fight against someone at the peak stage of a 9th rank Saint and with his now fragile body, he might even find it difficult to compete with someone at that level. That must be why he backed out. Why must the Heavenly Sword Tower?! It's getting more troublesome!’ Jimen Kanding remained silent while sitting on the chair. No one dared to fart when they saw the solemn expression of their sect master.
“Where is Guard Feng?” Jimen Kanding asked in a serious tone. Of the experts who came out this time, only less than half were able to return to the sect. One of the eight guards also appeared to be missing. This made Jimen Kanding a little distracted.
“Master Sect, the group that was together with Guardian Feng were all wiped out. As for Guardian Feng, he also died in battle.” An elder said in a sad tone. This was the first time their Crimson Sun Sect had suffered such a huge loss. If their enemies knew of this, they would probably have a hard time.
“Tuan Sect Master, I also want to report something.” Another elder suddenly raised his hand and spoke.
Jimen Kanding glanced at him and nodded his head. “Speaking.”
“Before we met the experts from the Heavenly Sword Tower, Elder Shao brought some people with him to return to the sect to get reinforcements. But I don't see any trace of them here. They may have.” The elder did not continue speaking, but everyone could understand the words he wanted to convey.
“What?!” The gaze of Jimen Kanding turned cold.
“Are you looking for the bodies of fallen people? Are they not among the people killed in battle?” He asked while suppressing his anger.
The elder was scared when he saw the expression of the sect master, so he immediately answered him. “Ya, sect head. This subordinate has already checked the battlefield where Guardian Feng has fallen, but I don't see any trace of Elder Shao and the others there.”
Jimen Kanding could no longer contain his anger. He smashed the armrest of his chair, smashing it into pieces! Everyone inside the main hall fell silent. No one wanted to be an outlet for the anger of their sect master.
Everyone within the main hall immediately went into action, afraid that Jimen Kanding would kill them if they remained inside the main hall.
Not long after, only the enraged Jimen Kanding was left inside the main hall. He gasped for breath as he clenched his fists furiously. “ damn!”
In the distance, a hunchbacked old man suddenly sighed. This is Grand Elder Jimen. He used his spiritual senses to observe the main hall, but what he saw only made him even more lonely.
“My Red Sun Sect was destroyed this time. Thinking that it will be destroyed during my time. Looks like I'll be cursed by an ancestor in the afterlife.” He muttered.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
“My time is running out. I just hope that brat Shao can survive this disaster. If he manages to live, at least my Red Sun Sect still has hope of rising.”

Right now, in front of the huge gate of the Heavenly Sword Tower, a huge crack in space suddenly appeared, mesmerizing the patrolling guards.
“Later we are back! Now I can drink an unlimited amount of milk! Meow!” A sinister burst of laughter echoed from within the crack in space.
The patrolling guards stared earnestly, but when they saw the appearance of the little girl, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiu Shen flicked his forehead and looked at the sword tower with a calm gaze. He then glanced at the eight tigers that had now turned into humans.
“This is my Heavenly Sword Tower. From now on, your job is to protect this place.” Jiu Shen said expressionlessly.
Eight tigers stared at the towering sword tower that nearly pierced through the sky with gazes of admiration and astonishment. They could already sense the formation of a high-level protective array around the sword tower. Even with the cultivation of their New God Realm, they might not be able to destroy its defenses. This alone made them completely dumbfounded.
Ice grinned in disdain when she saw the reactions of her parents and clan elders. “Hei! Don't make me lose face in front of this stinking man! Meow!”
