The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 527: The Meeting
Jian Wang remained calm under everyone's stunned gazes. He assessed the silver-haired young man standing in front of him. He even tried to use the best observation techniques in his arsenal to see if he could discern the man's cultivation. However, his spiritual perception stopped even before entering the man's body. It was as if there was an invisible energy preventing him from prying at this person's secret!
“So you are still alive.. I thought you were dead by then ..” Jian Wang sent a message to the man. He did not want others to hear their conversation because there were some people from the Celestial Paragon Tower inside the dragon building.
Jiu Shen's eyes blinked for a while and returned to normal. “So you can reveal my identity ..”
Jian Wang snorted. “There is only one Jiu Shen who has the ability to make this wine shop. I know that you have a relationship with Asmodeus and he even took you to Hell a few times before.”
Jiu Shen glanced at him in confusion. Asmodeus what? Oh. Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart. The man must have thought that the Protective Array Formation in the dragon building was created by Asmodeus.
Jiu Shen shrugged with an invisible smile. He then took out a chair from his spatial earrings and placed it beside where Jian Wang was sitting. “I hope you don't mind me sitting next to you.” He muttered.
Jian Wang waved his hand calmly. This guy has already put down his chair before even getting his answer.. “As far as you are.”.
Jiu Shen turned his gaze towards the red-haired Furion and smiled at her. “Furion, one of the remaining pure-blooded Phoenixes. Nice to meet you.”
Furion was surprised by the man's politeness, but she quickly adjusted her mood. “It's nice to meet you too, Wine Master Jiu Shen! I've heard a lot about you from the young waitress in your shop!” He replied with his own smile.
Suddenly, Furion's eyes widened. He realized that he could not see through the man's power!
Jiu Shen looked at her astonishment, but she only chuckled. He then turned his gaze towards Jian Wang. They had not met for countless years, but it seemed like the man had not changed. He still has confidence around him.
Just then, Jiu Shen narrowed his eyes and stared in a certain direction. There was a feeling that appeared in his heart.
“So you also noticed it. Looks like there really is something going on in this desert region.” Jian Wang's calm voice echoed beside his ears.
Jiu Shen nodded his head solemnly. A dark and oppressive aura appeared for a moment and disappeared. He was very familiar with that aura. “Hell. The entrance of hell has appeared once again.” Jiu Shen muttered in a firm voice. He's sure of it. As someone who had been to Hell for quite a few times, he was very familiar with the gloomy and dangerous aura. He can't forget it.
Jian Wang narrowed his eyes when he heard Jiu Shen's words. “So it has appeared again, yes?” He believed Jiu Shen's words because the man was not known to speak nonsense.
“What the hell? What entrance?” Furion looked at them in bewilderment as she heard the conversation between them.
“Hell entrance, it will appear once again. And the entrance will open in the desert area.” Jiu Shen said in a calm voice.
“What did you say?!” Furion's brows closed upward, but before he could even say anything more, a man dressed in rags walked into the shop, surprising the customers who were busy chatting amongst themselves.
There was a piece of cloth wrapped around his head, probably to hide his face. His clothes and pants were dirty and full of dirt. The man looked like a farmer stumbling in his field. “T-P-Pin..entrance... hell...appeared...” The man muttered weakly before he collapsed.
“What's with this guy? Is he a drunk?”
“I don't know. I just heard him say login ..”
Seeing the man, Jiu Shen quickly ordered. “Aren, take him upstairs.”
The purple-haired Aren nodded his head and grabbed the unconscious man before bringing him to the second floor.
Jiu Shen glanced at Jian Wang and Furion and told them. “You two can follow me to the top.” He did not mind bringing them into the cultivation hall. The hall was powered by a Formation Array and he could turn it off.
Jian Wang and Furion nodded their heads seriously. Before the man fainted, they heard what he said.
Aren carefully lowered the man down and turned his head towards Jiu Shen, waiting for his orders.
“Give this to him.” Jiu Shen handed the small pill to Aren.
Aren took the pill and opened the cloth that covered the man's face. He then put the pill into the man's mouth.
When Jiu Shen and Jian Wang saw the man's appearance, the wrinkles on their faces deepened.
Asmodeus! The greatest Formation Array maker in the Primordial God Realm! One of the three Heavenly Emperors!
This man was Jiu Shen's friend and also the one who taught him the art of Creating Array Formations!
He did not believe that such an individual actually ended up like this.
“Asmodeus! Isn't this person the Heavenly Emperor Asmodeus?! The one who sealed the entrance of Hell! Now I understand... The entrance will appear once again!” Furion exclaimed in shock as she looked at the man.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
A series of dry coughing sounds followed as the man finally woke up. He groaned as he tried to sit up straight.
Aren felt sorry for her and helped the man.
“Thank you.” Asmodeus muttered as he slowly raised his head to look at the people who had saved him.
The purple-haired man was an unfamiliar face. He examined everyone one by one and suddenly his eyes widened when he saw Jian Wang.
“J-Jian Money! Cough!” He spat out a mouthful of blood.
