The Immortal's Wine Store

Jian Wang sensed the presence of another Heavenly God Realm expert. He turned his head and saw an old man holding a cane walking down from the second floor. His body looked thin and fragile, but Jian Wang knew that this seemingly harmless old man was a top expert. 

Jian Wang inspected the old man's cultivation using his spiritual power. 'He is quite weak. Is he the owner of this dragon building? With his power, how did he amass so many precious materials to build this place?' 

The old man might be a Heavenly God Realm expert, but he wasn't that strong in his realm. Even the two Dark Devils were stronger than him. 

"Green Dragon Tortoise..." Jian Wang mumbled when he identified the bloodline that the old man possessed. With his strength as a Celestial God Realm expert, he could see through the divine beast bloodline running through the old man's veins. 

'Why is a creature from the Crystal Lake here? I thought that they never want to come out of that place...' Jian Wang was familiar with the Green Dragon Tortoise. They were divine beasts that lived in the depts of Crystal Lake, the territory of many dragon-blooded creatures. 

After many years, dragon-blooded creatures of the Crystal Lake never came out of that place. They continued to protect the lake from outsiders for many years. Even the strongest of experts dared not to venture into their territory. 

Jian Wang poked Furion as he pointed at the old man. 

The red-haired phoenix followed the direction he was pointing and saw a frail and hunched old man. He was walking down from the second floor with careful steps. 

After what happened earlier, Furion no longer dared to casually use his spiritual perception inside the dragon building. He believed that this place was very mystical. 

"Is he the owner?" Furion muttered in a whispering voice as he looked at Jian Wang. 

Jian Wang shrugged his shoulders and replied. "How would I know?" 

Furion was speechless after getting his answer. He then chose to stay silent and just watch the scene from the sideline. He wanted to see how the old man would deal with the situation. 

The one causing trouble was a peak stage Heavenly God Realm expert. Someone at that level was difficult to handle and there was still a late stage Heavenly God Realm expert who was yet to make a move. 

Soon, Ice discovered the presence of an old man in the corner of her eyes. Her eyes lit up when she saw him and she immediately waved her hands as she shouted. "Hey, old man! This guy right here is causing trouble!" 

Atlas' aged face cramped severely when he heard the little girl's words. He sighed and slowly walked toward them while maintaining a calm look. 'Young Miss Ice is truly mischievous. I bet the master would punish her the moment she comes back to the cultivation hall.' He thought to himself, feeling slightly amused. 

Berith and Domas narrowed their eyes as they looked at the old man. Their fierce malevolent eyes were glaring at him coldly. 

'An old tortoise who had just taken a step into the Heavenly God Realm? What can he do to me?' Berith was already clouded by his anger and he had already forgotten about Jian Wang's presence inside the dragon building. He didn't notice that Domas was already signaling him to back down. 

When he saw that Berith was ignoring him, Domas felt nervous. He regretted bringing Berith to this place. Things would have been better if they had reported their discovery to Celestial Emperor Lao Gou or the higher-ups of the Celestial Paragon Tower. 

"Guest, this Young Miss is the precious adopted little sister of Wine Master Jiu. If she did something to anger you, I apologize on her behalf." Atlas stared at Berith as he pulled the little girl behind him. 

The young waitresses and the customers sighed in relief when they saw the old man. They knew that this ancient being was an expert. With him around, the situation should be under control. 

However...

Berith, consumed by rage, suddenly chuckled coldly as he stared back at the old man. "You think that just because you came I will let that little bastard go?! Who do you think you are?!" His aura flickered wildly as he lost control of his temper. 

Seeing that the situation has developed out of control, Domas stood up and tried to hold Berith. However, the latter slapped his hand away and murmured. "You don't have to be afraid, Domas. Celestial Emperor Lao Gou will protect us, so there's nothing to be worried about. I only want to punish that little bastard for ruining my mood!" 

Domas wanted to say something but swallowed down the words he was about to say when he saw the dark expression of Berith. He sighed heavily and stood beside Berith to give his support. Now that things have gone wrong, he could only choose to follow his leader. 

The genteel eyes of the old man suddenly reflected a frigid look when he heard the words of the Dark Devil. This guy actually dared to call the master's adopted sister a little bastard?

"You have gone too far, Dark Devil! Since you can't be reasoned with logic, then don't blame this old man!" Atlas muttered icily as he draw strange symbols in midair. 

As the strongest subordinate of Jiu Shen, he already knew how to activate the Protective Array Formations in the entire dragon building. Initially, he didn't want to scare their customers, but this Dark Devil has gone overboard! 

A dozen golden symbols suddenly lit up around the dragon building, giving off a sacred and overwhelming aura that subjected everyone inside the store to a heavy mountain-like pressure! 

Jian Wang who was sitting on the sidelines was surprised when he sensed the power behind the Protective Array Formations. He even unconsciously summoned his spiritual power to protect himself and Furion. "The Protective Array Formations inscribed in this dragon building are at the Celestial-rank level!" He muttered in surprise.
