Jiu Shen wordlessly stared at the breathless corpse of Garland. “This guy’s will is too weak. How did he even manage to reach the Void God Realm?”
Even Yue Bo who had just ascended to the Void God Realm had much stronger willpower than Garland. After all, Yue Bo survived Jiu Shen’s Heavenly God Realm aura for a much longer time.
“Hm, I think if I give this corpse to Balmond, he might be willing to become my sweeper…” Jiu Shen muttered to himself with a hint of expectation.
Jiu Shen knew that Garland had reasons for coming to the Great Demon Empire. According to Jiu Shen’s guesses, there might even be a dispute between this two, so Balmond should be happy to receive the corpse of his enemy, right?
Thinking about this, Jiu Shen took Garland’s corpse and placed it inside his space earring. He then teleported back to the wine store.
As he hovered above the lotus building, Jiu Shen calmly observed what was happening below. There were still a lot of people inside and outside of the store. The third floor couldn’t handle too many people, so Jiu Shen already installed a visual projection of each battle arena.
The tournament seemed to have started and everyone was cheering and shouting as they watched the visual projection of the ongoing battles.
“Look! Princess Cornelia has won over her opponent!”
“There’s actually a young prodigy in the Earth Battle! Look over there!”
Jiu Shen searched through the crowd and realized that Balmond wasn’t there. The demon seemed to be confident about his daughter’s skills that he didn’t even come to spectate her fight.
After seeing that everything is progressing smoothly, Jiu Shen decided to go straight to Balmond’s lair and give him a surprise.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Great Demon Empire. Emperor Balmond was seated on his throne, holding a communication crystal in his hands.
Suddenly, the communication crystal lit up and a voice sounded. “Your Majesty, Her Highness Princess Cornelia has won her first fight. Her opponent was quite strong, but she defeated him without sustaining injuries.”
Hearing the report, Emperor Balmond heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he didn’t come to personally spectate the matchups, he still sent a subordinate to observe the competition. He even sent Hanzo to personally act as one of the judges of the competition. He didn’t want anything to happen to his daughter, so this arrangement was necessary.
“Alright. Continue observing the competition and send a few more people to monitor the movements of the Narda Principality’s delegates.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The voice behind the communication crystal replied with a vigorous voice.
Emperor Balmond kept his communication crystal while sighing in relief. Luckily, his daughter didn’t disappoint him and won her first battle.
Just as he was imagining his daughter’s splendid fight, he suddenly noticed a young man seated on a chair that magically appeared beside him.
“Wine Master Jiu Shen?!” Emperor Balmond cried out in shock. How did this guy come inside the throne room without him noticing anything?
Jiu Shen nodded his head at the stunned Demon Emperor while happily drinking a bottle of wine.
“Your Majesty, is there anything wrong happening?” A worried voice outside the throne room echoed.
“Nothing. Remain in your posts and be more vigilant.” Balmond answered.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Emperor Balmond waved his hand and blocked the throne room using his spiritual power. This was to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. Jiu Shen should be here for something and for him to go here personally, it must be important.
“Wine Master Jiu, welcome! I apologize for my lack of manners. How about you sit here on my throne?” Emperor Balmond said with a smile. He didn’t want to sit on his throne right in front of Jiu Shen. This human was too mysterious that he felt afraid of incurring his displeasure.
“No need. My chair looks more awesome than yours.” Jiu Shen replied with disinterest.
Emperor Balmond’s mouth twitched and he scrutinized Jiu Shen’s seat. After observing it for a few seconds, he realized that it was indeed more striking than his throne. However, he still felt a bit bothered that Jiu Shen has looked down on his throne. After all, just to sit on it, countless geniuses of the demon race sacrificed themselves in bloody battles…
With a stiff smile on his face, Emperor Balmond asked. “Wine Master Jiu, I know you’re not just here to mock me. What brings you here?”
“I came here to deliver something to you…” Jiu Shen said with a mysterious look.
Emperor Balmond’s eyes burned with curiosity when he saw Jiu Shen’s expression. What thing did this human bring him?
Under Emperor Balmond’s questioning gaze, Jiu Shen took out a demon’s corpse and calmly placed it down.
Looking at the breathless corpse, Emperor Balmond abruptly stood up from his throne and cried out in shock. “Garland!”
Emperor Balmond could see the frothing mouth of Garland, but he saw no visible injuries on the demon’s body. He also scanned Garland’s internal organs, but after checking it three times, nothing seemed to be wrong. However, what made him surprised was when he checked the cultivation level of Garland, it was actually at the Void God Realm! In that case, how did an expert like die?
Realizing this, Emperor Balmond gulped nervously as he stared at Jiu Shen’s calm face. How did this guy kill Garland? He didn’t even leave any injuries on the demon’s body and Garland’s internal organs seemed to be in perfect condition. Was it a spiritual attack?
“Stop guessing. That guy died when I showed him my cultivation…” Jiu Shen calmly said. He did show Garland his Heavenly God Realm aura, so he didn’t lie, right?
“Y-You mean he was scared to death after seeing your cultivation?” Emperor Balmond felt that he heard the most ridiculous joke, but when he glanced at Garland’s frothing mouth and his corpse’s perfect condition, it looks like Jiu Shen wasn’t lying to him…
Emperor Balmond shivered as he thought about it. A Void God Realm expert was actually scared to death after sensing someone’s cultivation?
If that’s true, then this human’s cultivation level should be insanely high!
