The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 391 Lou Baiqing Panic
Lou Baiqing panicked at this moment. He could not find any trace of Garland no matter how he searched in Morlon City. It was as if the man had suddenly disappeared. His sudden departure made Lou Baiqing feel a little nervous. Was Garland discovered by Emperor Balmond and murdered secretly or did Garland return to the Narda Kingdom to get reinforcements?
Lou Baiqing felt her head ache because of this unexpected news. He immediately sent one of his men to return to Narda Kingdom to check if the Demon Emperor Garland was there.
“Hopefully, he has just returned to Narda Kingdom to ask for reinforcements.” Lou Baiqing muttered. Although he knew that this was impossible, he still wished Garland was still alive. The death of a Demon Emperor would significantly weaken the strength of their Narda Kingdom. Their plan to destroy the Bloodfallen Family would also fail because Garland played a crucial role in that subjugation. It would be difficult to finish their goal without Garland.
“What should I do now? If Garland dies, Emperor Balmond should already know our purpose. Staying here just means waiting for our death. I have to get out of here and find another place to hide.” Lou Baiqing said in a grim tone. He then took out a communication crystal and relayed this to his subordinates. Although leaving Morlon City was tantamount to ignoring their plans, they had no choice. They could only retreat for now and think of another strategy.
***
A few days later.
The third floor of Jiu Shen wine shop.
The tournament continued and the battle between the participants of the Earth and Heaven Battle category became much fiercer.
There were only sixty-four participants left in the Battle of Earth, while there were only sixteen for the Battle of Heaven.
There were only two battle arenas left on the third floor and it was much larger than the one used in the past few days. This was to ensure that the participants would have the opportunity to show off their fighting skills more effectively.
At this moment, Cornelia was fighting a reclusive middle-aged demon expert. This person was at the late stage of the Demon King level and was proficient in spear arts. His spear left a shadow as he thrust it, making the crowd exclaim in admiration and respect.
Even though the demon was much older than the crown princess, she was still a powerful and honorable individual.
Cornelia's face was full of sweat as she blocked her opponent's spear attack using her spiritual power. He was not an expert in body strengthening and true essence cultivation, but his spiritual power was already at the level of a Demon King. His illusions and seductive arts were also shown to disturb middle-aged demons.
Just then, Cornelia summoned a gray mist that covered her entire body.
The middle-aged demon noticed that this gray fog had a strange aroma. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he immediately closed his nose as he cursed softly. “Sial! I'm in love with her!”
After this, his movements became sluggish and his spear attacks were greatly weakened. Although he managed to survive with his strong fighting abilities, he still gave up on the illusionary art of Cornelia.
“Cornelia Bloodfallen wins!” Blue announced his victory to the crowd, making everyone cheer his name loudly.
“Princess Cornelia! Princess Cornelia!”
“Princess Cornelia The Almighty!”
Succubus flashed a seductive smile at the boisterous crowd, making their eyes sparkle. She was too beautiful and alluring that even the women in the crowd had their hearts in their eyes.
Seeing this, the remaining participants of the Heaven Battle category stared at the victorious crown princess with a serious look. They had already planned how to stop his illusions and seduction if they suited him. His cultivation might be inferior to their own, but his strange fighting techniques and fighting style might prove difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Balmond was watching the battle with Jiu Shen and Yue Bo. The Demon Emperor raised his head high when he saw his daughter's victory.
“He has grown stronger as the competition reaches its final period. If this progress continues, he might reach the mid stage of the Demon King level!” Balmond said with a proud expression on his face.
Sitting beside him, Yue Bo nodded in agreement. He had seen all the Cornelia fighting and he knew that Balmond was telling the truth. That Succubus was indeed a talented young demon.
“Congratulations, Brother Balmond! Your Great Demon Kingdom will definitely become stronger under the leadership of Princess Cornelia!” Yue Bo was not stingy with her praise.
Hearing this, Balmond grinned from ear to ear as he nodded, pleased with his words. “Don't praise her too much, Big Brother Yue Bo! The girl still has a lot to learn. Back then, I hoped that Big Brother Yue Bo could give him some pointers.”
Yue Bo was surprised, but she still nodded her head with a smile. With his strength, it was fine for him to teach someone of Cornelia's level. “Because Brother Yue Bo is now part of the Wine Master Jiu Shen faction, of course, I will help! It's just a small matter.”
“Lord of Wine Jiu, what do you think of Cornelia?” Balmond turned his gaze to Jiu Shen who was calmly watching the battle.
Jiu Shen glanced at Balmond and thought of Cornelia's recent battle. In his opinion, the use of his skills was lackluster and even his techniques were flawed. Should he tell Balmond?
Just as he was about to tell the truth to the Demon Emperor, Jiu Shen saw Balmond's happy smile. He did not want to destroy the happiness of his subordinates, so he replied nonchalantly. “Not too bad. He can be trained. With the help of Yue Bo, she might increase to a certain degree.”.
