Jiu Shen was pleased when he saw Yue Bo’s expression. This man was his strongest subordinate at the moment. The guy’s cultivation realm was even higher than his own!
“Alright. Meili, give him a few sets of our sect’s guardian robe. We will go back to the sect and rest there for a day before we go to the Crimson Fiend Continent.” Jiu Shen said as he summoned a spatial door with a mere flick of his hand.
Looking at the dark rift, Yue Bo’s gaze turned even more respectful. Even with his current level of power, he could not command space to that degree.
The group went back to the sword tower in just a few seconds.
Yue Bo stared at the huge sword erected on the ground. Its blade was pointed at the heavens in an arrogant manner as if it wanted to pierce the skies. Young disciples dressed in black robes can be seen going in and out of this sword tower. All of them had sharp auras unbefitting their young ages. If any of these disciples were placed in different empires, they would surely be considered as the top talents in the younger generation!
Yue Bo who was once one of the most powerful members of the Alliance fifty thousand years ago was shocked to see this. The young members of the Alliance all those years ago could not even compare to the disciples of this sword tower! It must be noted that all members of the Alliance fifty thousand years ago including the young ones were constantly facing wars and battles, making them even stronger. However, the young disciples in front of him were not inferior and even stronger than those young Alliance members!
“Welcome to the Heavenly Sword Tower. From now on you will be one of the guardians of this place. It is still new and is not even a year old yet, so it is still a bit weak, but I’m confident that in less than fifty years, this sword tower will give birth to countless experts.” Jiu Shen said with his hands behind his back. His words were like the words of a madman, but Yue Bo and the three ladies didn’t even show a hint of disagreement. They knew that this man was capable of doing what he had just said.
‘Weak? You call these freaks weak?’ Yue Bo almost cursed, but he put on a smile as he promised.
“I will follow your arrangements, Sect Master Jiu Shen. As long as I’m alive, I will help you achieve your dreams!”
Jiu Shen chuckled when he heard his words. He then walked inside the tower under the respectful gazes of Yue Bo and the three ladies.
One day later, inside the Sect Master’s room. Jiu Shen was seated on a chair. His expression was relaxed.
“Ren Shuang.” He called out.
Swoosh.
A shadow appeared in front of him as a person teleported out of nowhere.
“Sect Master.” Ren Shuang greeted as he kneeled in front of Jiu Shen.
“Tell Elyk and his father to come here right away. I have something to tell them.” Jiu Shen said with an impassive look.
“As you command.” Ren Shuang said before his figure disappeared.
***
“Your Majesty, Vice Sect Master Ren Shuang of the Heavenly Sword Tower has arrived!” An imperial guard notified Emperor Elyk. This news made Elyk abruptly stand up. It was actually Ren Shuang!
Emperor Elyk knew this man very well since he had seen him quite a few times every time he visited the Heavenly Sword Tower. Ren Shuang was a man of few words and he rarely goes out of the Heavenly Sword Tower. Only Jiu Shen could command him to go to the imperial palace.
“Send Vice Sect Master Ren Shuang inside. Never mind, I’ll go out and meet him personally.” Emperor Elyk might be the emperor of the Silver Wing Empire, but he dared not neglect Ren Shuang. Even his father wouldn’t dare provoke this man.
Emperor Elyk rushed out of the throne room to meet Ren Shuang. When he arrived in the guest hall, he saw Ren Shuang who was wearing a stern look.
“Vice Sect Master Ren, welcome! I apologize for making you wait. Come. I’ll bring you inside the throne room.” Emperor Elyk greeted Ren Shuang with a warm smile.
“There is no need for that. The Sect Master wants to see you and the old emperor.” Ren Shuang said in a cold and distant tone.
‘Sect Master Jiu? Is it finally time?’
Emperor Elyk turned serious as he nodded his head. “Alright. I’ll inform my father and we will be in the sword tower right away.”
Ren Shuang nodded his head. “I’ve delivered Sect Master’s words, so I will now take my leave.”
Swoosh.
Emperor Elyk did not dally after Ren Shuang left. He immediately went to find his old man.
“Old man, Sect Master Jiu wants to see us. Let’s go.” Emperor Elyk pulled his father who was still drinking his morning tea.
The old emperor stood up and muttered. “Is he finally planning to go back to the Crimson Fiend Continent?”
“Perhaps.”
The father and son duo swiftly flew towards the sword tower at their fastest speed. They didn’t even bother to change their clothes as they left behind afterimages in the skies.
Not long later, they arrived in front of the sword tower. They were then greeted by Jiu Shen’s first disciple, Lu Sulan. She also led the two to the Sect Master’s room.
“Master, His Majesty, and the old emperor have arrived.” Lu Sulan knocked on the door gently.
“Let them in.”
Lu Sulan pushed the door open and motioned the emperor and the old emperor to get inside the room.
Inside the room was the calmly sitting Jiu Shen. Standing behind him were Long Meili, Theia, and Ice in her human form.
“Greetings, Sect Master Jiu Shen.”
“Greetings, Sect Master Jiu Shen.”
The father and son greeted Jiu Shen respectfully. They also greeted the three ladies behind him.
Jiu Shen nodded at them and said in a serious voice. “I will go back to the Crimson Fiend Continent. Elyk, are you sure that you want to come with me?”
Emperor Elyk’s expression turned solemn as he stared at his father. After seeing his old man nodding his head, the emperor turned his gaze back to Jiu Shen and said. “Sect Master Jiu, I want to go with you!”
“Good. The teleportation formation is in my store, so we will go there first..” Jiu Shen stood up and summoned the space door.
