The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 531: Preparation
Ai Chen had strong spiritual power, so he was more sensitive to danger. He could feel a bloody aura in this area and it made him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Grand Wine Jiu Shen, I will immediately call my people and have them create an Array Formation in this place.” He said while taking out a communication crystal.
“Good.” Jiu Shen nodded. He then told his subordinates to rush towards his location. The Heavenly Melody Pavilion was weak in terms of martial prowess, so he offered to guard them.
Soon, Jiu Shen's subordinates arrived.
“Greetings, Sect Master!” They bowed towards Jiu Shen.
Ai Chen turned his gaze towards the incoming group. There were only about ten thousand of them, but their powerful auras shocked him. He could even sense that the leading figures among this group could guard him in just a few moves!
‘So this is the power of his Heavenly Sword Tower! Amazing!’ He was impressed by Jiu Shen's subordinate individual prowess.
Suddenly, he felt an unpleasant gaze staring at him. He shivered and turned his gaze to the figure of a blonde-haired woman wearing a dark-colored battle armor. A mixture of cold and melancholy was seen on her goddess-like face.
‘Really beautiful!’ Ai Chen exclaimed in his heart when he saw Theia. This was the first time she felt her beauty was inferior to someone, but why was she looking at me like that? He thought in confusion.
Theia frowned as she glared at Ai Chen, but soon, her face turned soft. ‘Saudari Ai Chen!’
Ai Chen was someone who had a deep relationship with him. They shared the same grief when they were rejected by Jiu Shen when they asked him to accept them as his students. They share a common bond and treat each other as sisters. Unfortunately, they were forced to separate because Theia was forcibly taken away by the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou who wanted her beauty.
Ai Chen suddenly understood something. ‘Maybe she's Wine Master Jiu Shen's lover.’
To prevent any discord between them, Ai Chen smiled and walked towards Theia. He took her hand and held it gently while laughing. “Don't worry, pretty sister. Wine Master Jiu Shen only asked for my help to set up the Array Formation here.”
Theia almost cried when she heard her gentle voice and familiar scent.
Theia wanted to tell Ai Chen about her identity, but she knew that this was not the time yet. Jiu Shen had just recovered his strength and his cultivation was still much weaker than Sky Emperor Lao Gou. If he were to reveal his identity, Jiu Shen would probably suffer. ‘Sorry, Sister Ai Chen, but I cannot tell you my identity for now ..’
Theia put on a cold expression and clapped her hands. He made a distance between them and muttered. “As long as you know your place.” His tone was filled with anger.
Ai Chen smiled awkwardly at Theia. It seemed like Wine Master Jiu Shen was already a married man. Too bad!
The atmosphere became strange at that moment, but fortunately, Ai Chen's subordinates came in time to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Greetings, Madam Pavilion!” Over a million people wearing white robes paid their respects to Ai Chen.
His words shocked the members of the Heavenly Melody Pavilion.
“Hell entrance?”
“What?!”
Ai Chen raised his hand and continued. “Our task is to create a Battle Array Formation and Weaken the Array Formation in one day! The appearance of the entrance is getting closer and we don't have much time, so we can only make as much as we can! Move in groups of one hundred and start creating Array Formations!”
He did not give them time to gather their thoughts and quickly issued his orders. Ai Chen's loud voice echoed throughout the area, temporarily easing the nervousness of his subordinates.
“Yes, Mistress Pavilion!” They answered in unison.
After giving orders to his subordinates, Ai Chen moved towards Jiu Shen and said. “Grand Wine Jiu Shen, I will also assist my people in creating the Array Formation. I'll hand over our safety in your hands.”
Jiu Shen nodded his head at her. “No problem!”
After getting her answer, Ai Chen turned his gaze towards Theia before she left. “Any. She seems familiar..” She muttered softly.
Looking at her disappearing figure, Theia sighed in her heart. He then felt his body enveloped in a warm embrace as a soft voice drifted into his ears. “It won't be long before you can talk to him like before. Hold on for a minute.”.
Theia nodded her head obediently. “I understand.”
Everyone from the Heavenly Sword Tower took their eyes off the couple. They knew that Theia would punish them if they carelessly provoked her in this situation.
Jiu Shen glanced at his subordinates and said. “Our job is to keep the Heavenly Melody Pavilion safe. Just go! Out!”
Everyone dispersed in different directions and quietly monitored the security of the area.
The Heavenly Melody Pavilion was truly a powerhouse in the field of Formation Array. In just a few hours, they managed to create thousands of Battle Array Formations and Weakened Array Formations! Even Jiu Shen's subordinates were impressed by their skills!
With the combined efforts of over a million Array Formation Makers, a hundred thousand Formation Array was built in just one day! That amount was enough to withstand millions upon millions of Infernals!
The members of the Heavenly Melody Pavilion were exhausted after a day of making the Formation Array, but they were pleased with their contributions to the allied forces. They also thanked the Heavenly Sword Tower which prevented others from causing trouble for them.
“Good work, everyone! However, we cannot rest here! Let's go back to the allied forces camp!” Ai Chen said in a loud voice.
