The Immortal's Wine Store

Strange memories flooded Hestia's mind a few months ago, and it was only recently that she had finally realized that she had been reborn!

"Elder Hestia. Elder Hestia!"

"I'm sorry. What are you saying?" Hestia glanced at Can Ye with a smile.

Can Ye furrowed his eyebrows. Hestia was acting weird and it was the first time he saw her like this. "Is there anything wrong, Elder Hestia?"

"Nothing." Hestia shook her head at him. He wouldn't understand even if he told her. Besides, she didn't want anyone to know anything about what happened to her.

Despite his curiosity, Can Ye held back asking her more questions. "Alright. Let's go downstairs now. Senior Sister is waiting for us there. We will go to Narda Principality." He then brought Hestia outside the lotus building where they met up with Lu Sulan.

"Are you guys ready?" Lu Sulan asked while looking at the two. Hestia and Can Ye nodded their heads.

"Alright. Let's go!" Lu Sulan led them towards Hegante City, the capital city of Narda Principality. The Narda Auction House where the auction would be hosted is located there.

The journey wasn't long for someone at their level and it only took them about an hour despite the great distance. The three descended at the entrance of Hegante City. Apparently, outsiders aren't allowed to fly within the city, so the three stopped at the entrance to take a carriage. However, they were surprised when someone came to greet them.

"Greetings, Division Head Lu! I'm Lou Baiqing and we've fought together during the rebellion. I'm pleased to meet you again." Lou Baiqing came with a few generals from Narda Principality. The Demon Empress told him that someone from the Heavenly Sword Tower would come to Hegante City to join the auction. He'd been waiting for them all this time.

Lu Sulan cupped her fists at Lou Baiqing. "It's great to see you again, Lord Lou. This is Can Ye, Division Head of our Mission Hall, and this is Hestia, one of our strongest Elders."

Lou Baiqing moved his gaze towards the two people standing behind Lu Sulan and smiled at them. "It's a pleasure to know you Division Head Can and Elder Hestia. Come! I'll bring you to see Her Majesty. She's in the palace waiting for you guys to arrive."

"Alright." Lu Sulan, Can Ye, and Hestia nodded their heads and followed Lou Baiqing to the palace of Narda Principality.

Lou Baiqing led them to the topmost floor of the palace where Demon Empress Ganda was staying.

"Your Majesty, I've brought them here." Lou Baiqing lightly bowed towards the Demon Empress.

"Greetings, Demon Empress Ganda." Lu Sulan, Can Ye, and Hestia greeted the red-haired demon seated on her chair.

Demon Empress Ganda glanced at Lu Sulan and Can Ye for a moment before her gaze stopped at Hestia. Although the Demon Empress didn't use her spiritual power to scan Hestia's cultivation, the Demon Empress still knew that she was the strongest among her three visitors.

"No need for formalities, Division Head Lu. I'm sorry, but these two are?"

"This is Can Ye, Division Head of our Mission Hall, and this is Elder Hestia." Lu Sulan introduced the two briefly.

Demon Empress Ganda stood up and cupped her fist at them. "I knew that the Heavenly Sword Tower would send representatives in our Hegante City to attend the auction in Narda Auction House. However, I'm not sure which of the auction items does the Heavenly Sword Tower wants."

Lu Sulan smiled at her and said probingly. "The sect master has sent us here to bid for the territory of Poison Valley. I wonder if someone else is also interested in that piece of land."

The Demon Empress' eyes flashed upon hearing her words. Why would the Heavenly Sword Tower desire the territory of Poison Valley? It should be of no use to them, unless if they were planning to construct something in that piece of rich land!

"From what I've heard, there are indeed quite a few major powers that are interested in that land. A peak expert even expressed his interest in that territory." Demon Empress Ganda said with a serious look.

"Peak expert? And who might this be?" Lu Sulan asked curiously.

"You guys might not have heard of him yet since you're not natives here. Everyone calls him Necromancer Emperor!" The Demon Empress said in a solemn tone. She knew that the undead army and the chimera that the Lycan Family and Torgrim Family brought with them during the war came from the Necromancer Emperor. She was wondering what that old demon was planning to do this time.

Lu Sulan haven't heard of that name, but looking at the Demon Empress' expression, it seemed that this Necromancer Emperor was quite formidable. However, she wasn't worried since Hestia was with them.

"Thanks for the information, Demon Empress Ganda. We won't stay here for long since we still have to prepare for the auction. Farewell." Lu Sulan smiled at her.

"No problem. Baiqing, see our guests out." Demon Empress Ganda didn't let them stay when she noticed Lu Sulan's expression. She knew that these guys would start investigating on their own. However, that wasn't her problem, so she didn't plan to stop them.

Lou Baiqing led them outside the palace.

After the three left the palace, Lu Sulan glanced at Can Ye and said. "Junior Brother, I want you to investigate this Necromancer Emperor. Meet with us in this location after your investigation." She pointed at an inn on the map.

Can Ye stared at the map and nodded his head. "Alright. I'll be back right away."

"Be careful." Lu Sulan patted his shoulder.

Can Ye's figure disappeared from the scene.

"Are you worried about this Necromancer Emperor that the Demon Empress talked about?" Hestia asked as she looked at Lu Sulan.

Lu Sulan nodded her head with a frown on her face. "I won't allow anyone to snatch that land from us!"
