The Immortal's Wine Store

With the Peerless Deliverence Mantra, Jiu Shen was able to quickly prepare the ingredients. Each ingredient glowed brilliantly after being struck by the golden symbol that Jiu Shen controlled.

"This is much easier than I thought..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he mixed the ingredients thoroughly. His golden eyes shone with profound calmness as his hands moved at an indiscernible speed.

Golden symbols continued to float around Jiu Shen as he recited the Peerless Deliverence Mantra. The space around him was suddenly enveloped by an unfathomable golden light that made the tribulation lightning look garbage in comparison.

The Purple Feathered Flame Eagle tribe gawked at Jiu Shen who was barely discernible at the moment. They even almost forgot about the tribulation lightning flickering wildly above the firmament.

The leader of the eagle tribe even lost focus for a second, causing him to be ruthlessly struck by a bolt of tribulation lightning!

Screech!

The huge Purple Winged Sword Eagle emitted an angered cry and it hurriedly stabilized its injuries. Flashes of purple lightning covered the gigantic eagle, dancing around it like small serpents.

'I must focus on my tribulation lightning first. I don't know what that esteemed person is doing, but it isn't the right time to think about it. I will ask him after I succeed.' The eagle gathered its true essence in preparation for the next bolts of tribulation lightning. It could not afford to suffer the same strike earlier or it might be fatal to it.

Inside the lotus building, the Demon Ancestor and the Demon Lords simultaneously stood up and stared in the direction of the forest. They knitted their eyebrows as they muttered in surprise. "Tribulation lightning..."

"Someone has summoned the tribulation lightning. From its scale, this guy should be breaking through to the Demon Lord Realm! (Nascent God Realm) However, this aura... it is that of a savage beast!" Demon Ancestor Jun frowned as he walked outside of the lotus building. He hovered above the store and stared at the dark clouds on the horizon. His four subordinates, Zorzoch, Zagan, Azgonoth, and Physoris were hovering behind him. They were also looking at the scene with stunned faces.

Inside the store, the three young ladies looked unbothered by the commotion and only Burlock was in a state of shock.

"Who could it be? Judging from the aura, it should be a powerful savage beast with a noble bloodline. If it manages to break through to the Nascent God Realm, the power balance in Morlon City might crumble. Demon Ancestor Jun would never allow this kind of threat in his territory... Will the city be engulfed in war once more?" Burlock sat down with a grave look on his face.

"Isn't that the direction where the master is headed to?" Meimei asked softly. Standing beside her, Xiaoxiao and Blue nodded their heads in reply.

"That's right. Master said that he will be collecting ingredients for his wine. He should be in that forest..." Xiaoxiao said with a pondering look.

"Could it be that master has something to do with this? I mean, the other sisters checked Morlon City and the forest, and according to them, there should be no one close to breaking through the Nascent God Realm. In that case, the master must be involved in this incident." Blue, the brightest among the three girls muttered.

Burlock who had a grave expression on his face suddenly stood up when he heard the girls' conversation. "What?! Wine Master Jiu Shen could help a savage beast break through to the Nascent God Realm!? And it isn't even long since he's gone. This... If that old man learns about this, the consequences... shit! It would be terrible!"

Burlock hurriedly closed his mouth and looked to his left and right. He then sighed in relief when he discovered that the Demon Ancestor and the four Demon Lords were not inside the store.

"Goddammit! That scared me! My three lovely friends, please don't speak about this in front of those guys or there might be a terrifying consequence. Wine Master Jiu Shen might be able to handle the old man, but if that old guy will report this to His Majesty..." Burlock's eyes flashed with trepidation at the mention of the Crimson Fiend Continent's ruler. However, the expressions of the three ladies didn't even change. They looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.

Seeing this, Burlock could only smile wryly. 'You guys haven't seen him yet, so that's why you're unconcerned...' He thought to himself.

"His Majesty? You mean the so-called ruler of this continent?" Xiaoxiao stared at Burlock in disdain. Her hands were holding her hips in an akimbo.

Burlock's eyes widened like saucers upon hearing the contemptuous tone of Xiaoxiao. He hurriedly dashed towards her and covered her mouth with his hands as he gazed at the entrance of the store. He secretly wiped his sweat after seeing that the Demon Ancestor and the four Demon Lords were still not there. "Young Lady Xiaoxiao, don't speak carelessly about His Majesty. I know that Wine Master Jiu Shen is a strong individual, but His Majesty's strength is also unfathomable. From what I heard, he should be at the Void God Realm!"

Xiaoxiao's anger flared when her mouth was suddenly covered by a big and callous hand, but when she heard Burlock's words, she snorted as she swatted the big hand away. "Void God Realm, huh?"

Meimei worriedly held Xiaoxiao's hands when she heard the demon's words. "Sister Xiaoxiao, it would be wise if we don't get involved with someone at that level at this moment. The master has just arrived in the Crimson Fiend Continent and he has yet to establish a firm footing here. We should not recklessly provoke the ruler of this continent at the time being."

"Meimei is right. Xiaoxiao, you should be careful with your words or you might bring unnecessary trouble to the master." Blue added in a serious tone.

Seeing her two sisters like that, Xiaoxiao could only glare at Burlock.

Hmph!
