The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 538: Search
While Jiu Shen assimilated his new strength, the war between the allied army and the Infernals became much more fierce.
With the loss of their High Chieftain, the Infernals became even fiercer in their attacks and they even ignored their injured bodies.
The allied army could barely contain the crazed Infernals. Lucky for them, the army of Celestial Paragon Tower led by Sect Master Telu and Vice Sect Master Valir arrived.
Their timely arrival somehow reduced the fatigue of the soldiers.
“Master Sect, Vice Sect Master, we were unable to find the whereabouts of Wine Master Jiu Shen. We moved around the battlefield to look for him, but we even failed to see his shadow. Many of our soldiers were killed during the search process. for him.” A high-ranking Elder from the Celestial Paragon Tower reported in a serious tone.
Telu frowned as she looked at the battlefield. They had been here for several hours, but no one had seen Jiu Shen after he killed the Chief of the Infernals Tribe. “Maybe he died with the leader of this beast.” Mumbled with uncertainty.
Upon hearing his words, Valir shook his head in disapproval. “If this Jiu Shen Wine Master is the same Jiu Shen we knew before, I don't think a person like him would just die. Do not forget that even the combined strength of the entire Heavenly Paragon Tower was not enough to stop the man. If Heavenly Emperor Lao Gou did not intervene, he was still alive now.”
Surprisingly, Telu did not rebuke the old man's words. He had personally witnessed Jiu Shen's strength back then. He even mistakenly believed that Jiu Shen was the fourth Heavenly Emperor back then due to his unparalleled strength. The man who easily killed the high-ranking Elders and elite disciples of the Celestial Paragon Tower.
“Continue your search, but be sure to move in large groups to prevent more casualties. If you meet with a Chieftain-level Infernal, immediately retreat.” Telu instructed the Elder who was still kneeling respectfully.
The elder acknowledged the order respectfully. “Yes, Sect Master!”
After Elder left, Telu looked at Valir and said. “Parents, we must search for Jiu Shen separately. Once you meet him, report to me first before you move. Even if he is seriously injured now, someone who can kill a Celestial should not be taken lightly.”
Valir nodded his head. “Be careful, Sect Master.” The old man left after saying those words.
Telu looked at the figure of the old man and sighed.
Meanwhile, Theia and Ren Shuang led the Heavenly Sword Tower in dealing with the Infernals that were trying to injure the members of the Heavenly Melody Pavilion. Due to their efforts, the Heavenly Melody Pavilion had the fewest casualties among the six great armies.
“Division Head Ren Shuang, the Blood Sword Division led by Division Head Yang Zenke has retreated. They faced a large group of high-level Hells as they escorted the wounded members of the sword tower. Division Head Yin Long had moved to the location to cover them.” Can Ye, Jiu Shen's second disciple and also the Division Head of the sword tower reported in a serious voice. They have also taken a small number of casualties since the beginning of the battle. This was the first time she had experienced the loss of many friends and it made her very uncomfortable and emotional.
Ren Shuang looked at Can Ye's emotional turmoil and patted the man's shoulder to calm him down. “Trust. We will win this war. Sect Master is with us. He had killed the Infernals Supreme Leader. It is only a matter of time before the remaining Infernals will be annihilated by the allied army.”
Can Ye lowered her head when she met Ren Shuang's gaze. “I understand.”
After Can Ye left, Ren Shuang ordered his subordinates to rush forward. Theia, Lu Sulan, Long Meili, and the other elites of the sword tower were in the middle of the battlefield supporting the allied army with their strength. He had to make sure none of them were in danger. “Please wait a minute!” He muttered.

Jiu Shen was still unfamiliar with his superior strength. He could not control the holy aura from escaping from his body.
“If I come out like this, no one can stand normally in front of me. Just my aura alone is enough to subdue anyone weaker than me.” Jiu Shen smiled wryly.
Jiu Shen carefully controlled his supreme aura and hid it with his spiritual power.
It took another few hours before he managed to stabilize his boundless strength. “Good. This is enough.” He smiled while nodding in satisfaction.
True essence. The late stage of the Heavenly God Realm.
Spiritual Strength. The late stage of the Heavenly God Realm.
Anma. The late stage of the Heavenly God Realm.
Even now, Jiu Shen was still impressed by the drastic increase in his strength. “It's time to get out. There are still billions of Infernals left. This is a good opportunity to witness the growth of my subordinates.” He whispered as he called out the exit of the Spirit World.
Oho!
When he exited the large wooden door, Jiu Shen saw that a new power had come to support the allied army. However, when he saw the familiar badge engraved on their armor, Jiu Shen's calm eyes narrowed.
“The Heavenly Paragon Tower. The old must have realized my return and sent his army to kill me!” His voice was filled with hatred and hatred. Millions of years of suffering he endured at the hands of Lao Gou. Everything was fresh in his mind…
He had waited a long time for revenge and now, he could finally start his slaughter!
Jiu Shen took off his broken white armor and replaced it into a new set of white robes with gold embroidery. The Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword behind his back turned into specks of light and formed a dragon tattoo on his chest. Using his sword against a group of ants was just an overkill …
