The Immortal's Wine Store

Jiu Shen went back to the Heavenly Sword Region with Jian Wang. The two of them chatted idly and Jian Wang asked Jiu Shen about his fight with Lao Gou.

To his endless barrage of questions, Jiu Shen merely remained silent.

Jiu Shen couldn't believe that the man revered by everyone as the Sword God was actually this chatty. He might have gotten this personality from his buddy, Furion.

Soon, the two arrived in the Heavenly Sword Region.

"The reconstruction of the region will be completed in a few months. What are you gonna do this time?" Jian Wang asked him.

"Let's wait for Asmodeus to come here. I need his help to transport my wine store and the sword tower. I don't think the Heavenly Melody Pavilion is capable of creating an Array Formation that could transport something so huge, but I'll try to ask Miss Ai Chen about it." Jiu Shen replied right away.

His wine store and the sword tower were both in the Desert Region. That place isn't a good environment for his people. The density of true essence in the Desert Region could not be compared to the huge influx of energy in the Heavenly Sword Region.

"I see, but do you think that guy will come back here?" Jian Wang was talking about Asmodeus. He thought that they could be friends, but the latter seemed to be hiding a lot from them and his background was a mystery.

"If I'm right about him, then he will be here within three days." Jiu Shen answered with a smile.

"But even if he comes back, can we trust his words? He might be doing this deliberately to confuse us. Maybe this might even be the plan of Asgard." Jian Wang retorted.

"You're right to feel suspicious about him. Asmodeus is an individual who's hard to read. Let's just wait for three days and we'll know where he stands by then..." Jiu Shen answered in a calm voice.

In truth, he wasn't certain about Asmodeus. The guy might have been sent by Asgard to test them so it was better to remain cautious.

"I hope you're right, Jiu Shen." Jian Wang sighed and shook his head.

***

Three days later.

The reconstruction of the Heavenly Sword Tower was still underway, but with the support from the six great armies, the process became smoother.

News about the destruction of the Celestial Paragon Tower also spread like wildfire. Everyone was shocked when they heard that the number one sect in the Primordial God Realm was wiped out. When everyone heard that Celestial Emperor Lao Gou fell in battle, they became even more stupefied. Major powerhouses sent their envoys to investigate the matters and they soon got a piece of shocking news.

Jiu Shen, a new Celestial killed Lao Gou. He then claimed the Central Region as his new territory and renamed it the Heavenly Sword Region!

After hearing this news, the silent powerhouses immediately sent their people to offer their support to the new Celestial.

Millions of people were working hand in hand to restore the Heavenly Sword Region.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious restaurant at the outer fringes of the Heavenly Sword Region, two men covered in hooded long robes sat together. They didn't stand out since most of the itinerant cultivators were dressed just like them.

"Are you sure that he will be here?"

Jiu Shen nodded his head. "He should have seen the note that I've left."

"Fine. Let's grab ourselves some food and drinks as we wait." Jian Wang shrugged his shoulders and beckoned to a waiter.

"Can we have the menu, please?" He asked the waiter.

The waiter smiled at him and said. "Yes, sir! Here it is."

Jian Wang took the menu in his hands and scanned the array of food and drinks. Everything looked appealing and delicious. Luckily, this restaurant wasn't destroyed in the battle between Jiu Shen and Lao Gou.

"I'd like three portions of Earth Dragon Steak. Just medium rare for the meat. And three large glasses of Mesmerizing Juice." Jian Wang didn't bother to ask for Jiu Shen's opinion and just randomly chose the ones that looked delicious.

The waiter gently nodded his head. "Three portions of medium rare Earth Dragon Steak and three large glasses of Mesmerizing Juice. Do you want to add a few side dishes or desserts?"

"Let's see... Hmm... This, this, this, this, and this." Jian Wang pointed at a few desserts and side dishes.

"Alright. Please wait for your orders." The waiter bowed and left.

"The people here are very professional." Jian Wang nodded his head in praise.

"That's not surprising. This restaurant is owned by the Heavenly Melody Pavilion after all." Jiu Shen casually said.

Suddenly, the two of them felt a strong spiritual power scanning the restaurant.

"He's here."

The two glanced at each other. They were inside a private room, but they had already informed the servants that someone would come to join them.

"This way, sir." They heard the voice of a servant outside their room.

Knock! Knock!

Soon, the servant came inside their private room with a disguised Asmodeus.

"You came. That's good!" Jian Wang snorted.

"Take a seat. We have already ordered food and drinks." Jiu Shen pointed at a seat opposite him.

Asmodeus greeted the two with a nod of his head. He then sat in front of Jiu Shen.

"What do you want from me?" Asmodeus didn't beat around the bush. His presence here was already against the rules of Asgard, but he had already placed an Array Formation that prevented the others from spying on the restaurant.

Jian Wang was silent and he just stared at Asmodeus.

"Asmodeus, tell us what you know about Asgard and we will help you in return. I'm sure that there is something going on between you and the other two Hall Masters." Jiu Shen said in a calm voice.

Asmodeus' eyes narrowed into slits. "It looks like Elena has told you about a few things."
