The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 515: Duty of the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou
“You don't need to worry, Valir. I've interacted with Asmodeus for a long time and I'm sure that man is not in the Primordial God Realm. As for allying with Jian Wang, it was even more impossible. . Jian Wang was an arrogant man. He will not do anything that will ruin his reputation, but it is not a bad idea to monitor his wine store.”
Valir was stunned after hearing those words and he could not help but ask in disbelief. “Heavenly Emperor, you mean Asmodeus isn't here? Then where is he?”
“The guy...he's a very strange person. He did not even show the slightest interest in the abundant lands in the Primordial God Realm. The last time I met him, he told me that he would stay in Hell to monitor. Infernals. I don't know why to make such a decision, but Asmodeus didn't answer me when I asked him about it. In any case, that was enough .. Order some people to monitor the movements of Jian Wang and the wine shop. Make sure none of our people will provoke them!” Sky Emperor Lao Gou warned.
Valir nodded and replied. “Good. I will call some Elders and disciples and have them observe Jian Wang and that wine shop regularly.”
“Mn. Just call me if anything happens.” The communication crystal became silent after that.
Valir stored the crystal inside his outer ring of space and sighed.
“Heavenly Emperor Lao Gou seems calm about the matter. Maybe I just thought too much about things.” He muttered to himself. He then walked out of the hall and summoned two Elders and a group of high-level disciples.
“Greetings, Vice Sect Master Valir!” The two Elders and the disciples greeted him with respectful voices.
Valir nodded his head calmly and said. “I called you here because the Heavenly Emperor has given us a task.”
What's?! Heavenly Emperor has given up the task?!
The eyes of both the Elders and the disciples were wide-eyed after hearing the words of the Vice Sect Master Valir.
Sky Emperor Lao Gou had become silent for many years and no one had seen him for a very long time. How could they not be surprised after hearing that it had given them a task?
Looking at everyone's excited face, Valir chuckled softly in his heart, but he still put on a stern look. “Quiet! We received intel saying that Heavenly Emperor Jian Wang was seen in Hard Rock City in the desert region. To be more specific, he was seen drinking wine in a unique wine shop and according to our informant, this wine shop is quite famous in the area, so it should be easy for you to find him. Your mission is to go to that wine shop and observe things secretly. Remember, you should not provoke anyone in the wine shop and if you notice anything abnormal, report it to me at once!”
Jian Wang's?!
After hearing that name, everyone's faces turned serious. Even though their mission was merely a reconnaissance, they still felt a little nervous as they were about to observe the man named Jian Wang!
Valir gave a cold snort when he saw their anxious expressions. “Hmph! Bunch of cowards! If you dare not take this mission, then I will ask someone else!”
Soon, others also voiced their participation in the mission.
Valir smiled with satisfaction when he heard that. “Good! Remember, act as if you are a normal customer of a wine shop. From what I heard, the wine shop belonged to Jian Wang, so never antagonize the workers there!”
“Yes, Vice Sect Master!”
“Alright! Immediately depart!” Valir brushed them off with a wave of his hand.

“Wait! I guess I forgot to tell Vice Sect Master Valir about the rumor that said that the owner of the wine shop was a swordsman named Jiu Shen. Ays, never mind, I thought that man was just a puppet that Jian Wang had placed in order to maintain his peaceful life..” Berith who was on his way back to their territory muttered to himself.
“What do you think, Domas? You've seen that guy named Jiu Shen, right?” Berith glanced at the man behind him.
Domas furrowed his brows as he recalled the young human he had seen when he first visited the wine shop. “Now after you mention it. The man is quite mysterious. When I tried to investigate his strength, I did not feel any power from him. It was as if he was a normal human without cultivating. However, the old man in the wine shop seemed to respect the person. I believe that he is not someone so simple. Perhaps he was Jian Wang's disciple ..” Domas was also unsure, but he still told Berith about his speculation.
Berith frowned after hearing that. The wine shop in Hard Rock City seems shrouded in mystery. The more they investigate, the more mysterious it becomes. “No problem. We have already told the Heavenly Paragon Tower about it. It would be better for us if we stayed on the sidelines. After all, this matter involved Jian Wang!”
No matter how arrogant he was, he could only admit defeat in front of Jian Wang.
Domas nodded in agreement. Their Darkness Demon Race might be stronger than the other major races and powers in the Primordial God Realm, but there were still some hidden forces that were much stronger than them!
“Are we not going to continue our investigation in the wine shop, Lord Berith?” She asked.
Berith immediately shook his head. “No need to involve yourself in this matter anymore. As long as the Celestial Paragon Tower doesn't say anything, let's keep quiet about this.”
Domas nodded his head. He could understand Berith's hesitation, so he didn't bring up the matter anymore.
