Chapter 365: Old Man's Last Request
Yang Zenke looked at the old man with a hint of pity. He saw the old man fighting with all his strength that day and even though his age was declining, he was still able to unleash a terrifying burst of power. However, his opponent was an even more terrifying individual, Ren Shuang. The two fought for only a few minutes and Yang Zenke was convinced that Ren Shuang did not even give his all back then. In the end, the old man lost his strength after drawing out his true essence excessively and was captured.
“Supreme Elder Jimen, Sect Master Jiu Shen wants to meet you ..” Yang Zenke said to the old man while unlocking his phone.
“Hm? Your Sect Master wants to see a dying old man? Alright. I want to know about this guy too. Take me there. Cough! Cough!” The old man stood up causing the chains tied on his arms to make a clinking sound.
When Yang Zenke entered the old man's cell, he finally saw how pitiful his current appearance was.
Tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and many scars. The top expert from the Crimson Sun Sect now looked like an old beggar who had not eaten food for many years.
Yang Zenke was hesitant whether he would open the chain on the old man's arm, but inwardly he shook his head after recalling the old man's identity. ‘I cannot be merciful to my enemies..’ He thought to himself.
“Close with me ..” Yang Zenke gestured for the old man to follow him. The latter nodded his head slowly.
As Yang Zenke led the old man to Jiu Shen's room, their presence sparked a fiery conversation between the elders and disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower. They wondered what would happen to the old man…
As for Supreme Elder Jimen, although he seemed to be walking calmly behind Yang Zenke, he was shocked when he discovered the strength of the disciples. Almost all of them were comparable to the elite disciples of his sect. Such a huge difference made him sigh in disappointment and regret. If only he had taught his son well, things could have been better. Other than the few people who escaped earlier, all the members of the Red Sun Sect were killed. He only hoped that the remaining members would live a simple life and avoid conflict with the Heavenly Sword Tower again.
“Here.” The old man stopped in his steps when he heard Yang Zenke's voice. He tiredly lifted his head and looked at the room where they had stopped. As Yang Zenke pushed the door open, Supreme Elder Jimen saw a young man with long silver hair leaning lazily on the chair. On his shoulder was a fat white cat sleeping and standing on either side were two women emitting dangerous auras. When he scanned them, he was surprised to realize that they were at least as strong as the man he was fighting back then.
“You must be Supreme Elder Jimen of the Red Sun Sect. You may already be aware of my identity, so I won't introduce myself again.” The young man suddenly said in a calm and indifferent voice. He sounded arrogant, but Supreme Elder Jimen was not bothered by this because he knew that this young man was the legendary Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Tower. That man was known as the strongest expert in the entire Profound Dragon Continent!
The old expert tried to sense the strength of the young man with his spiritual vision, but when his spiritual power touched Jiu Shen's figure, he groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
‘That power! When my spiritual perception barely touched his body, it was ..’ Supreme Elder Jimen raised his head and looked at Jiu Shen with a horrified look.
“Brat, it is not good to peek at someone right in front of his face.” He heard Jiu Shen speak in a cold voice.
“S-Sekte... cough! Master Jiu Shen's strength was indeed unfathomable as the rumors said! Cough!” The old man said with a forced smile.
Jiu Shen ignored his words and only looked at the old man with a disappointed look as he muttered. “You may be a Newborn God Realm expert, but you used a trash pill to help you promote your cultivation, causing your foundation to become unstable. Your age has not even increased that much despite your breakthrough ..”
Hearing Jiu Shen's words, the eyes of Supreme Elder Jimen widened in shock. How did Jiu Shen know about that? Even his son did not know how he had suddenly achieved a breakthrough!
What Jiu Shen said was indeed true. He had found the pill in the ancient ruins and when he saw the large amount of spiritual power within the pill, he immediately consumed it. His distress lightning at that time was not as scary as the others, so he managed to break through to the Nascent God Realm. However, he also noticed that his strength was weaker than the other experts at his level.
“You... How in-Cough! Cough!” Supreme Elder Jimen held his chest and he nearly fell to the floor, but then he realized that his body was being held back by an invisible force.
“Since you are already here, let me know your last wish ..” Jiu Shen glanced at the old man calmly. According to the Division Head's report, Supreme Elder Jimen had acted obediently in his cell. They also said that the old man originally wanted to reconcile with them, but his son, the Sect Master of the Red Sun Sect did not listen to his advice. For this reason, Jiu Shen decided to give one last request to the old man.
Supreme Elder Jimen was stunned after hearing his words, but he hurriedly calmed down as he spoke. “To be honest, before the last battle with your sect, I sent some elders and disciples of my sect. I hope you won't kill them. The group was against the battle of the Heavenly Sword Tower and they were not involved with my son's mistake.”
Yang Zenke frowned when he heard the old man's wish.
