Chapter 364: Dying Old Man



Smelling his familiar fragrance, Ice\'s lips quivered as she silently cried in his embrace. She had grown fond of Jiu Shen after being with him for a short time. She already treated him as her family, so when Jiu Shen suddenly left, she felt sad.

Jiu Shen rubbed stroked her head gently. "I\'ll bring you there with me. You might like the demons living in that place..." He whispered to the little girl.

Hearing that, the little girl\'s ears perked up and she could not help but glance at him eagerly. "I want to go there! Meow!" She then clung to his neck and climb to his shoulder as she transformed into a chubby white cat.

Meow. Meow.

The fat white cat licked Jiu Shen\'s face with a contented look, making him chuckle unknowingly.

After greeting everyone, he asked about the recent happenings of the Profound Dragon Continent and he found out from them that the crown prince and the third prince were both assassinated on the same day. However, when Jiu Shen heard this news, his expression didn\'t change. Though he felt slightly sorry for his friend Elyk.

"The rest of you may go back to your respective areas. Ren Shuang, summon the Division Heads to my room. I will hear their reports one by one..." Jiu Shen commanded before walking away with Theia, Ice, and Long Meili.

Among the crowd, Lu Sulan, Xia Xinyue, and Situ Liuli stared suspiciously at Theia who was intimately holding Jiu Shen\'s hand. They sensed a feeling of connection between the two and when they realized this, the three girls felt a wave of pain enveloping their hearts. They glanced at each other and saw the determination in each other\'s eyes.

Not long later, all the Division Heads had assembled inside Jiu Shen\'s room. All of them were now looking at him with respect and admiration.

"I\'ve been gone for a month and I want to know the progress of your divisions. Let\'s start with your report Divison Head Yang Zenke." Jiu Shen stared at the young man he had trained with an approving look. Just from Yang Zenke\'s aura alone, he could tell that this man must have experienced bloody battles during the past month. There was also an explosive leap in his cultivation and power.

"Yes, Sect Master! While you\'re gone, under the lead of Lord Ren Shuang and a few elders, I commanded the Blood Sword Division to destroy the remnants of the Crimson Sun Sect. All of their disciples and elders are killed in battle. Their sect master was also killed in action at that time. As for their supreme elder, we imprisoned him in the underground prison. The old sustained many wounds, but he is surprisingly tough. He might be able to live for a few more months if we leave him be..." Yang Zenke reported with a serious expression.

"Oh? So that brat is still alive huh... Go to the underground prison and bring that brat here..."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Yang Zenke was curious about this command, but he unhesitatingly followed the order.

When he left the room, the other division heads also provided their reports. Most of them were nothing significant aside from the breakthrough of Jiu Shen\'s alchemy disciple, Qi Hongtian.

"Good. If you had failed to break through, I would have certainly tied you upside down naked on top of the sword tower..." Jiu Shen patted Qi Hongtian\'s shoulder. The once decrepit old man was now a healthy-looking middle-aged man. His breakthrough to the Nascent God Realm has increased his lifespan.

Qi Hongtian smiled bitterly when he heard his master\'s words. "Master, before you left, you gave me a copy of your understanding towards alchemy. With that detailed copy, even a pig would become an alchemist..."

Jiu Shen chuckled in amusement.

"Master, about the death of the crown prince and the third prince. I have some news about it. Do you want me to report it in front of everyone?" Ren Shuang suddenly said, making the atmosphere serious once again.

Jiu Shen nodded his head at him. "Go ahead. Everyone here is trustworthy, so there is no need to be worried..."

After getting Jiu Shen\'s approval, Ren Shuang replied. "I discovered the second prince at the place where the princes were killed, but he suddenly disappeared using a teleportation array formation."

"So it was that demon who killed those two good-for-nothings... I know where the second prince is, so no need to bother about him. As for the upheaval this would cause, I think Elyk can handle it since his father is around."

"Alright. All of you may go back to your posts." Jiu Shen waved his hands at them.

Seeing his gestures, the Divison Heads bowed at him and left the room.

"Master, what are your plans?" Long Meili asked as she looked at Jiu Shen.

"For now, I\'ll meet the supreme elder of the fallen Crimson Sun Sect. After meeting him, I\'ll go and visit my good friend Elyk..." Jiu Shen answered calmly.

***

Inside the underground prison, an old man was leaning on the stone wall with a blank look on his face. His aged face was full of wrinkles and black spots. His eyes were hollow without a sense of life. If not for the rise and fall of his shoulder, anyone might think that he is dead.

This old man was the supreme elder of the Crimson Sun Sect, a peerless expert at the Nascent God Realm. However, this top expert was now leaning on the stone wall like a corpse...

Suddenly, the old man heard a series of footsteps walking towards his cell. When he shifted his gaze, he saw Yang Zenke and he immediately recognized him as one of the elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower. He was wondering if this young man was finally here to execute him...
