The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 483: Nostalgia
Jiu Shen looked at the old man calmly. He had long white hair and eyebrows like a sword. He looked sharp to a child his age and there was a powerful sword aura gushing out from him subconsciously. ‘A swordsman?’ Jiu Shen thought as he sensed the sword aura.
“No problem!” Jiu Shen replied with a smile. If a fight were to happen here, it would be disadvantageous for him, but things would not be the same in the dragon building!
Yin Long smiled after hearing this. “Good! I've heard that wines sold in your store have a beneficial effect even for top cultivators. Can you tell me more about this?” He started a conversation. He wanted to see if he could dig something out of this man unsuspectingly.
If this man had indeed connected with the founding teacher, he would not have casually told others about his origin. After all, Jiu Shen, the founder's teacher was killed by the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou himself! To be more specific, he was captured and sealed inside the God Sealing Tower and subjected to cruel torture for millions of years! Just thinking about it made Yin Long's backbone creep in fear.
Yin Long was planning how to get information from Jiu Shen.
Both of them flew towards the dragon building. It was the most beautiful place in Hard Rock City, the area around the dragon building was also beautified under the orders of the City Lord.
Yin Long was slightly surprised when she saw the appearance of the dragon building. He thought that the disciple who told him about his whereabouts was just exaggerating his words, but it seemed like he was being honest. However, as he moved closer to the golden gate, he frowned. He noticed that there was a powerful Protective Array Formation written to protect this place. He wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for his strong spiritual power!
“So you noticed it?” Jiu Shen glanced at Yin Long with a smile as he saw the sudden change in the latter's expression.
“Do not worry. That Protective Array Formation was only meant for dangerous situations. I didn't even use it when the Shadow God Sect people came here to make trouble.” Jiu Shen muttered with the same indifferent smile.
Hearing this, Yin Long no longer dared to treat Jiu Shen casually. From the disciple information, he said that this Jiu Shen revealed the strength of a peak stage Heavenly God realm expert! If that was true, even he would not be able to escape his grasp!
“I can't believe that there are actually hidden experts living in our region. This is really surprising!” Yin Long smiled, though somewhat forced.
When they entered the golden gate, Yin Long saw a huge garden filled with spiritual plants that emitted a powerful suppressive aura. ‘Heavenly God level spiritual plant ?! That'sthat's true! How many good things does this man have?! No wonder the Shadow God Sect decided to steal from him ..’
‘Name Jiu Shen. His strength was at the peak stage of the Heavenly God Realm. His weapon was also a sword.. Could it be, he is still alive? Impossible!’ Yin Long frowned as she was deep in thought. He did not even realize that they were already inside the dragon building. He only realized this when he heard a loud voice coming from the chatter of the customers.
“There are many people here, so I apologize in advance for the noise.” Jiu Shen with an apologetic look. He then brought Yin Long to an empty spot and signaled for her to sit down.
“Say your true intentions.” Jiu Shen broke the silence. His voice was calm as he said those words.
Yin Long was slightly surprised that she was seen through. It seemed like he had underestimated this man. He then put on a serious look as he asked. “Do you know Xuan Kaisheng?”
Jiu Shen's expressionless face revealed a hint of nostalgia when she heard this name. This young man had begged him for many years to accept him as a disciple, but Jiu Shen had always rejected him. After years of pleading, Jiu Shen finally decided to start a lecture on swordsmanship for the young man as well as for the others who wanted to take him as their master. It was then that his lonely days began to change.
“Xuan Kaisheng .. Is he still alive?” Jiu Shen glanced at Yin Long as he slowly calmed himself down.
Yin Long's eyes widened when she heard this. This was equivalent to him admitting that he was Jiu Shen! But how is he still alive?
“You ... That's you!” Yin Long stood up from her seat and wanted to bow to Jiu Shen, but Jiu Shen immediately pushed Yin Long back into her seat.
“There are a lot of people here, so don't do something that will catch their attention. Yes, it's me, Jiu Shen, Xuan Kaisheng's teacher. From the way you act, you must be his friend.” Jiu Shen sighed. He did not believe that he would meet someone who was somehow connected to him in his past life.
“I am from the Sword God Region! The sect that Xuan Kaisheng created after he became a Heavenly God Realm expert!”
Yin Long's face was shrouded in excitement as Jiu Shen acknowledged her identity.
He's still alive! The founding teacher is still alive!
“Pardon me for asking this, but how can you survive the sealing inside the God Sealing Tower?” He couldn't help but ask.
Jiu Shen smiled mockingly as he replied. “Defend? I didn't survive. I'm dead, but it's a long story, so I'd rather miss that part. Since you are Xuan Kaisheng's friend, tell me, how to die?” He asked seriously.
Yin Long's face suddenly turned grim as she slowly replied. “When he heard about your death, he deployed the Sword God Region and several other sects to join him in avenging you. However, we were easily defeated by the Celestial Paragon Tower. He was killed at that time ..”
