Chapter 367: The Funeral
Yang Zenke buried the supreme elder of the Red Sun Sect in a mountain near the sword tower. The hasty burial was witnessed by many experts including the new disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower.
Sylphie Northcut, the girl who lost her family under the ruthless Crimson Sun Sect watched the ceremony with an emotional gaze. He clenched his fists tightly as he muttered in his heart. ‘Dad, mother, all.. May your spirits rest in peace..’.
Behind her was the fifth princess of the Silver Wing Kingdom, Princess Sylvia. The princess hugged her friend from behind, comforting her with her warmth.
Looking at the two girls, Prince Dante and his friends sighed heavily. They knew that it was best to remain silent on this occasion.
Not far from the grave, a group of less than a dozen cloaked people watched the funeral service. Although their bodies were covered by their robes, their exposed faces were covered in tears.
“Highest Elder ..” Grief of those robed figures.
“Highest Elder, leave the others to me. I promise to make the Red Sun Sect rise once more. As for the Heavenly Sword Tower, I will not be foolish enough to touch them like the idiot Jimen Kanding did.. The man leading these people muttered silently as he looked at the coffin of the supreme elder buried into the earth.
Suddenly, he saw a sharp look looking at her. He averted his gaze and saw a man with a blood red sword strapped behind his back. When he saw the man's appearance, he instantly recognized that it was the rumored Division Head of the Heavenly Sword Tower's Blood Sword Division, Yang Zenke!
The robed man's eyes trembled slightly when his gaze met Yang Zenke's. He did not feel the killing intent of this sword demon, but he did not dare to look into his eyes anymore. He heard rumors about Yang Zenke. According to the story told, Yang Zenke had killed hundreds of elders and disciples from the Red Sun Sect. Anyone who passed by him was instantly dismembered. Such a ferocious man was definitely not someone he could hurt especially with their current situation of the Crimson Sun Sect.
The Heavenly Sword Tower gave their supreme elder a proper burial. Despite being somewhat rushed, everyone still paid their respects to the dead expert who was one of the strongest individuals of the Profound Dragon Continent.
The cloaked man kept this move in his heart and thanked the Heavenly Sword Tower secretly. Upon seeing that the ceremony was about to end, he turned his gaze to his group and said in a serious tone. “From now on, I order all of you to never touch anyone from the Heavenly Sword Tower.”
“Ya, Elder!”
“Come go!”

Silveria Imperial Palace, Beltran City, Silver Wing Empire.
“For a long time, Sect Master Jiu Shen! I've heard from the elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower that you went to the Red Devil Continent. Perhaps only you have the guts to go to that hellhole.” Emperor Elyk glanced at Jiu Shen with admiration in his eyes. Even the old emperor looked at Jiu Shen with more respect.
‘Hell hole? I have been to the real hell and I have even spoken to the Hell Protector, the most mysterious among the three Heavenly Emperors, Heavenly Emperor Asmodeus! The Red Demon Continent is like a small playground to me.’ Jiu Shen sneered in his heart but he kept staring straight as he looked at the emperor and his father.
“I just went there to open a new branch. Fortunately, the residents there are obedient or I will destroy it. Bring me inside first before we speak.” Jiu Shen did not wait for Emperor Elyk's reply and was haughty inside the palace as if he was the owner of the place.
“He must have said he would destroy the continent.” Emperor Elyk muttered with a wry smile when he saw the skinny figure Jiu Shen walking straight into the throne room.
“Hey, Jiu Shen! Wait!” The human-shaped ice leaped towards Jiu Shen with a big smile on his face.
The two girls, Long Meili, and Theia immediately followed the girl, leaving behind Emperor Elyk and the old emperor who stood foolishly.
“Huh! I wonder what that man did in that place. Perhaps his arrival in the Red Demon Continent caused a huge commotion.” The old Emperor muttered while dragging his son towards the throne room.
Emperor Elyk and the old emperor saw that Jiu Shen and the three women were already sitting on chairs that they could not recognize. However, the two of them were already used to this scene, so they were not too surprised.
Emperor Elyk did not dare to sit on his throne especially in front of Jiu Shen, so he ordered an imperial guard to obtain two seats for his father and himself. After the imperial bodyguards arrived with two seats, Emperor Elyk sat in front of Jiu Shen.
“Master Jiu Sect, your arrival is unexpected, but I wonder why you are here ..” Emperor Elyk looks at Jiu Shen with questions. Even though he had already guessed about Jiu Shen's arrival, he still asked the man to make sure that they were on the same page.
Jiu Shen leaned back in his chair and glanced at the emperor as he replied. “I've heard about the deaths of your two sons. I came here to offer my condolences and also information about the killer..”.
A few months ago, Jiu Shen gave some items to the Alliance if the demons attacked them, but it seemed like the Silver Wing Empire did not accept any of them. If they had his belongings, perhaps the two princes would have survived the assassination.
Hearing Jiu Shen's words, Emperor Elyk sighed and shook his head. “So you've heard it too. As for the information you are talking about ... I wonder if you can tell me more about it ..”
