The Wine Shop of Eternity
Round 87 Hu Xiandao
“Your Highness, another group of experts came into our Beltran City. They are already the fifth group to enter our territory. Furthermore, each of them had a rank 7 Emperor cultivator leading their group.” Defender Duanmu reported.
Emperor Elyk let out a weak sigh. ‘ I am almost at the age of abdication, but why are all these troublesome problems happening now? Sigh!’
“Is there a rank 8 heavenly realm cultivator seen within our borders?” Emperor Elyk asked in a tired voice. Only in front of Defender Duanmu could he show this kind of weakness. Emperor Elyk trusted him very much and he even treated Defender Duanmu like a sibling.
Defender Duanmu felt sorry for the emperor, but he did not show it on his face. “Your Highness, our people have not reported any expert apparitions at that level, but there is a chance that someone with that power appears in these difficult times. The Earth Origin Dragon Tree is too precious for them to miss, even I feel a little tempted ..” The old defender said honestly.
He can't be blamed for this. The Earth Origin Dragon Tree, however, was a 9th rank spiritual plant. Only its fruits alone were capable of helping an 8th rank celestial realm expert to break through to a 9th rank Saint realm. Such an amazing treasure would definitely be highly sought after by many high-level experts!
Emperor Elyk narrowed his eyes but in the end still sighed. “Even this emperor wanted to take a single piece from Wine Master Jiu. It's just that after knowing everything about his strength, I didn't even have the courage to ask for it. Leave those people alone for now. Let them suffer. a little to enter into our kingdom without telling us.” Emperor says.
Defender Duanmu grinned but he immediately frowned as his wound had not fully healed yet. Although Hestia had already given him a high-level healing pill, he still needed over ten days to recover his peak condition.
“Those fools actually dared to save the thought of snatching something from Wine Master Jiu. I just hope Wine Master Jiu will be generous enough to let them go. Otherwise, then our Silver Wing Kingdom might have to face the full brunt of their faction. ‘ retaliation.” Defender Duanmu said with a serious look.
Emperor Elyk nodded in agreement. “Indeed. But no matter what the choice of Wine Master Jiu, if her actions will involve our kingdom, then even if I have to beg her, I will make sure that she has to come with us.” Traces of brilliance flickered in the emperor's eyes and the majestic air buried within him reappeared at that moment. He might be nearing his old age, but the majesty and charisma of a stunning emperor was already deeply rooted in his bones.
The two men who were inside the throne room did not even think that pleading with Jiu Shen was despicable. They both knew that an expert at Jiu Shen's level was far from their reach, so what was there to worry about begging someone like him?

The Eternal Wine Shop.
A towering single-armed man with long wavy red hair and dark skin entered the store which then instantly attracted the attention of customers due to his wild and wild presence. It was as if they were facing an alpha lion fleeing from the forest.
Each step creates a loud thumping sound that makes the heart of the customer beat with nervousness.
Behind this man were four individuals with the same ferocious aura. Two of them were youths in the 4th rank Knight Crusader realm and the other two were middle-aged men in the 6th rank King realm.
Other than their wild auras, all of these men had other similarities. They were all tall and had giant-like bodies that almost looked as if they could smash their seats into pieces.
Just when he thought that the chair was going to shatter into dust, he felt a powerful rebound force that made him unleash it instinctively.
“Hah?!” He frowned while glancing at his hand in confusion. His hand now felt numb and was slightly red in color as if it had suffered some sort of minor physical damage.
He then glanced at the chair and was about to hit it when he heard the cold and indifferent voice behind him.
“If you still appreciate your remaining arm, then I advise you not to do something funny. Of course, you are free to ignore my words.”
The single-armed man stopped his actions and narrowed his eyes as he turned to face the person who had spoken such bold words.
His narrowed eyes widened when his gaze locked onto the person in front of him. It was actually a valiant young lady with short blonde hair! Everything about her was perfect and even her cold expression accentuated her overall attitude.
“This little girl, are you talking to me, Hu Xiandao?” The man asked as he looked at Theia amusedly.
In their Mythos Wildlands, no one dared to talk to him like that. Anyone who dared to do so would be severely beaten by him to the point that their parents could no longer recognize their faces.
Physical conflict was quite common in their place because it was the land of barbarians. Almost all of their people were uncultured individuals who thought of using their fists. And in order to gain the respect of such rude people, one must have sufficient strength. This Hu Xiandao was someone who was highly respected in the Mythos Wildlands not only because of his strength, but also because of his ferocity!
Mythos Wildlands was a kingdom of barbarians in the northern part of the Silver Wing Empire. Everyone they practiced body strengthening and they even fought ferocious wild beasts almost every day.
Their unperturbed ferocity and bravery made them famous throughout the Profound Dragon Continent. Even large empires like the Silver Wing Empire were wary of their presence! Just this alone was enough to know their strength.
Facing a man like Hu Xiandao, Theia remained calm.
The gazes between them looked like rabbits facing off against lions, but the customers inside the shop had strange expressions on their faces.
“If this person is not wise enough, then we will probably see someone kicked out like a ragdoll once again.” Someone among the customers murmured.
