The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 364: The Dying Old Man
“You stupid man! Sample my paws!” The ice pounced towards Jiu Shen and raised her hand as she imitated the posture of the tiger, but before she could even attack Jiu Shen's figure, she could hug her small body.
Smelling her familiar scent, Ice's lips trembled as she silently cried in her arms. He liked Jiu Shen even more after being with him for a short time. He had already treated her as his family, so when Jiu Shen suddenly left, he felt sad.
Jiu Shen rubbed his head gently. “I'll take you there with me. You may like the devil who lives in that place ..” He whispered to the little girl.
Hearing that, the little girl's ears lifted and she couldn't help but glance at him excitedly. “I want to go there! Meow!” He then clung to her neck and climbed onto her shoulder as she turned into a fat white cat.
Meow. Meow.
The fat white cat licked Jiu Shen's face with a satisfied look, making him laugh involuntarily.
After greeting everyone, he asked about the recent events in the Profound Dragon Continent and he learned from them that the crown prince and the third prince were both killed on the same day. However, when Jiu Shen heard this news, his expression did not change. He felt a little sorry for his friend Elyk.
“You can all return to your respective territories. Ren Shuang, call the Division Head to my room. I will hear their reports one by one.” Jiu Shen ordered before walking away with Theia, Ice, and Long Meili .
Among the crowd, Lu Sulan, Xia Xinyue, and Situ Liuli stared suspiciously at Theia who was tightly holding Jiu Shen's hand. They felt a sense of connection between the two and when they realized this, the three girls felt a wave of pain envelop their hearts. They glanced at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
Not long after, all the Division Heads had gathered inside Jiu Shen's room. All of them were now looking at him with respect and admiration.
“I've been gone for a month and I want to know the progress of your division. Let's start with your report, Division Head Yang Zenke.” Jiu Shen looked at the young man she was training with a approving look. Just from Yang Zenke's aura alone, he could tell that this man must have experienced a bloody battle for the past month. There was also an explosive leap in his cultivation and strength.
“Yes, Sect Master! As you left, under the lead of Lord Ren Shuang and some elders, I ordered the Blood Sword Division to destroy the remains of the Red Sun Sect. All their disciples and elders were killed in battle. . Their sect master was also killed in action at that time. As for their supreme elder, we imprisoned him in the dungeon. The old one suffered a lot of injuries, but he was very tough. He might be able to live for a few more months if we let him.” Yang Zenke reported with a serious expression.
“Oh? So the boy is still alive huh.. Go to the dungeon and bring the boy here.”.
“Yes, Sect Master!” Yang Zenke was curious about this order, but he unhesitatingly followed that order.
As he left the room, the other division heads also gave their reports. Most of them were insignificant aside from Jiu Shen's breakthrough alchemy disciple, Qi Hongtian.
Qi Hongtian smiled bitterly when he heard the words of his master. “Master, before you leave, you gave me a copy of your understanding of alchemy. With that detailed copy, even a pig would become an alchemist.”.
Jiu Shen laughed amusedly.
“Master, about the death of the crown prince and the third prince. I have news about that. Do you want me to report it in front of everyone?” Ren Shuang suddenly said, making the atmosphere become serious once again.
Jiu Shen nodded his head at her. “Please. Everyone here is trustworthy, so no need to worry ..”
After obtaining Jiu Shen's approval, Ren Shuang replied. “I found the second prince where the princes were killed, but he suddenly disappeared using a teleportation array formation.”
“So that demon killed those two useless people. As for the upheaval that was about to happen, I thought Elyk could handle it since his father was around.”
“Good. You can all return to your posts.” Jiu Shen waved his hand towards them.
Seeing his movements, the Division Head bowed to him and left the room.
“Master, what are your plans?” Long Meili asked as she looked at Jiu Shen.
“For the time being, I will meet the supreme elder of the fallen Red Sun Sect. After meeting him, I will go visit my good friend Elyk..” Jiu Shen replied calmly.
***
Inside the dungeon, an old man was leaning against the stone wall with a blank expression on his face. His aged face was full of wrinkles and black spots. His eyes were empty without a sense of life. If not for the ups and downs of his shoulders, anyone might have thought he was dead.
This old man was the supreme elder of the Red Sun Sect, a peerless expert in the Nascent God Realm. However, this top expert was now leaning against the stone wall like a corpse …
Suddenly, the old man heard a series of footsteps walking towards his cell. When he shifted his gaze, he saw Yang Zenke and he immediately recognized her as one of the elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower. He wondered if this young man was finally here to execute him …
