The Immortal's Wine Store

Supreme Elder Jimen noticed Yang Zenke's frown and he knew what the young man was thinking, so he immediately said in a determined tone. "I assure you that those guys will never make trouble with the Heavenly Sword Tower. As long as you fulfill this old man's wish, I will willingly be executed."

Jiu Shen glanced deeply at the old man and eventually nodded his head. "Alright. I accept your demands. If the remaining people of the Crimson Sun Sect won't cause trouble, no one from my Heavenly Sword Tower will touch them."

Yang Zenke wasn't surprised by Jiu Shen's reply. With his Sect Master's personality, he knew that Jiu Shen would agree with the old man's final wish.

When Supreme Elder Jimen heard Jiu Shen's agreement, he heaved a sigh of relief. His aged face also turned a shade warmer as if a heavy burden was finally lifted off his chest. "Thank you so much, Sect Master Jiu Shen, but there is one more unreasonable request from this old man that I wish you would fulfill. Don't worry, this isn't anything hard…"

Yang Zenke's frown became even more visible upon hearing that. Although the old man has been very cooperative with them, he was still an enemy of their sect. He believed that their Sect Master had already been kind enough to him. Now, the old man has one more request? However, when Yang Zenke saw the elder's pleading look, he sighed and shook his head.

"Oh? Say it." Jiu Shen uttered calmly.

"I want you to be the one to kill me, Sect Master Jiu Shen…" Supreme Elder Jimen said as he gazed at Jiu Shen's eyes without a hint of fear. Only now did he notice Jiu Shen's incomparably beautiful pair of golden eyes. It was deep and profound, as if a boundless universe was contained within those globes. Dying at the hands of this man was something to be proud of. At least he has something to boast to his friends in the afterlife…

Supreme Elder Jimen noticed Jiu Shen's eyes flickering with infinite wisdom. This gaze made him feel like he was an infant looking at a supreme being. It was unreal for an old man at his level… He finally realized that this young-looking Sect Master might be way older than him. Only those old ancient beings would have the kind of eyes that Jiu Shen had.

While Supreme Elder Jimen was guessing Jiu Shen's true age, the elder failed to notice him lifted his finger.

"You may rest now…" The old man heard Jiu Shen's calm voice as his vision slowly darkened. At this moment, Supreme Elder Jimen realized what was happening and this made him smile.

"Thank you…" He whispered as his aged figure collapsed.

Jiu Shen waved his hand, preventing the old man's corpse from falling. He then shifted his gaze to Yang Zenke and commanded him. "Give him a proper burial."

Yang Zenke acknowledged the command with a nod of his head. He then took the old man's corpse and left the room without saying anything. He would unhesitatingly do anything Jiu Shen would tell him to do.

After Yang Zenke left, Jiu Shen stood up from his seat and muttered. "It's time to visit Elyk and see what that young man has been doing after the death of his sons."

"I'll go with you! Meow!" A fat cat jumped into his shoulder as it spoke in a cute human-like voice.

Jiu Shen lifted the chubby cat off of his shoulder and held it in his embrace. He gently rubbed its soft white fur as he replied. "Of course… Long Meili, Theia, you two can go with me as well…"

The two ladies nodded their heads eagerly when they heard Jiu Shen's words.

Meanwhile, after Jiu Shen went back to the Silver Wing Empire.

Great Demon Empire, Crimson Fiend Continent.

A man draped in a long black robe sat on his throne. Prostrating before him were two individuals, Amon and Hanzo.

"Your Majesty, I have accomplished the task of escorting His Highness safely back to the palace. However, before we came back, His Highness was intrigued with the lotus building of Morlon City, so I brought him there to see the place for himself…" Hanzo recounted what they encountered in their journey without missing a detail. He dared not lie in the face of the Demon Emperor and even Amon did not dare speak.

The man on the throne did not say anything and he just sat there unmoving, but Hanzo knew that the Demon Emperor was listening, so he continued.

"When we arrived in that human's store, we heard him announce the availability of his new wine. Your subordinate has already told you about that human's wines, but his new wine is different! It can enhance one's spiritual power! And it isn't just a simple enhancement, a single bottle of that wine is equivalent to thousands of years of spiritual cultivation!"

This time, the man in a black robe was finally interested. "A single bottle of wine that is equal to thousands of years of spiritual cultivation? How did he make it?"

Hanzo shook his head regretfully. "I tasted the wine myself, but just like his other wines, I still could not tell how he brewed those things. And one more thing about his new wine... Only those at the Nascent God Realm can drink it. Even an Origin God Expert like me can only drink a few bottles. I can't believe how that amount of energy is hidden in every bottle of that wine. For Jiu Shen to be capable of brewing such wondrous things, he doesn't look like a simple Void God Realm expert. Perhaps..." Hanzo's words became inaudible, but the Demon Emperor understood him perfectly.

No matter how arrogant and proud he was, he acknowledged that Jiu Shan was a formidable individual. Despite not meeting the man himself, the Demon Emperor felt unsure if he could beat Jiu Shen. With all the things he had heard about Jiu Shen, it wouldn't be a surprise if the human was stronger than him. However, the Demon Emperor felt no apprehension about this... only excitement!
