Demon Empress Ganda slowly opened her eyes as she let out a soft groan, but then, she suddenly recalled something. She abruptly sat up straight and observed her surroundings.
She found herself in an unfamiliar room. She hurriedly checked her clothes and found out that nothing seemed to be misplaced. Even her veil was still covering her face.
“Where is this?” She muttered as she scanned the area two hundred meters around her.
After scanning the place, she saw Lou Baiqing standing outside the room with a nervous look on his face.
Seeing this guy, Demon Empress Ganda was confused but she could not help but let out a sigh of relief. She then stood up and went out of the room.
“Your Majesty! Are you all right?” Lou Baiqing asked with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
The Demon Empress walked past him and glanced in a certain direction. From the layout and designs of the buildings, she could tell that they were still in Morlon Cit.
“That man Jiu Shen… I’m not his opponent… I don’t know his cultivation level and I couldn’t even last a single move against him. If he is truly behind the Bloodfallen Imperial Family, then we can only cut our ties with the Lycan and Torgrim Family. Becoming enemies with that person isn’t worthwhile.” The Demon Empress’ voice was filled with helplessness and fear.
“What?! The Empress couldn’t even last a single move against that guy?! Cut ties with the Lycan and Torgrim Family? This…” Lou Baiqing was stunned when he heard the Demon Empress’ words.
Demon Empress Ganda turned her cold gaze towards him and muttered. “Trust me. The Torgrim Family and the Lycan Family would be erased if they continue to act against that man. Jiu Shen’s power already exceeded the limits of this world…”
Hearing this, Lou Baiqing’s body shivered. From the looks of it, Garland’s death became meaningless…
“What about the resources we got from the two families? Our army has already used a bit of it.” Lou Baiqing suddenly asked.
The Demon Empress shook her head as she replied. “Return everything they sent. As for the used items, compensate the two families with something of equal value. Also, you will be the one responsible for the turnover. I don’t trust anyone else…”
Lou Baiqing felt overwhelmed by her gaze, but he hurriedly nodded his head. “I’ll get it done, Your Majesty!”
“You can leave first. I want to remain here and observe the situation.” The Demon Empress was curious about Jiu Shen’s objective. With his power, he could already take control of the whole world and even those high-level savage beasts of the Divine Beast Continent could only bow down to his might. She was certain of this since she had experienced Jiu Shen’s power!
Lou Baiqing bowed at the Demon Empress and left with haste.
After seeing him leave, the Demon Empress went to check her storage ring and her face drastically changed. “Where are my weapons!? Wait… I used them during my fight with Jiu Shen! Is it with him? Damn you, Jiu Shen!”
Meanwhile, Jiu Shen was now inside his store. He was observing the two weapons he got from the Demon Empress. One was a huge shield that weighed at least several tons, while the other was a heavy sword that was even taller than a person.
The shield had a diamond shape and was made of Dark Ember Metal, making it have a dark obsidian-like color. Jiu Shen also noticed ancient array carvings on the surface of the shield, but these array carvings had already lost their ability to extract power. However, this ancient shield could still be considered as a Void-rank weapon despite its damaged array carvings.
On the other hand, some of the heavy sword’s array carvings are still working. About half of it was damaged, but the remaining half can still be used. As for the blade, Jiu Shen noticed that it has some rusted parts and battle marks that made the heavy sword lose a bit of its power. Overall, this heavy sword barely passed as a Void-rank weapon in its current state.
“These two weapons are peak level True God-rank weapons, but since there are no True God-rank Array Formation Master here in Nuar, these weapons devolve into a mere Void-rank weapon. I wonder how that demon girl’s family came to have these weapons…” Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he kept the weapons inside his space earring. He wondered if the Demon Empress would have the guts to come back for her weapons… If not, why would he return it to her?
“Meili, use the teleportation array formation and come back to the Profound Dragon Continent. Bring Ren Shuang and Yang Zenke here. I have things for them to do.” Jiu Shen said as he glanced at the lady behind him.
Long Meili nodded her head. “Yes, master.”
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Jiu Shen’s voice. “Also, bring Elyk back to the Silver Wing Empire. He’s done his objective here.”
“Alright.” She replied before she left to find Elyk.
“Meow!”
Poof!
The fat white cat in Jiu Shen’s arms suddenly transformed into an adorable little girl. She slowly turned her gaze towards Jiu Shen as she asked curiously. “Jiu Shen, why do you want Ren Shuang and Yang Zenke to be here?”
Jiu Shen squeezed her cheeks hard. “I want Ren Shuang and Yang Zenke to experience more war. The Blood Sword Division under Yang Zenke also needs more tempering. Only through battles would they become a stronger force!”
Ice rubbed her aching cheeks with her chubby hands. She then asked him. “Why are you so obsessed with strengthening everyone? You were like this since the first day I met you…”
Hearing this, Jiu Shen’s eyes flashed, but it soon vanished. He then adjusted the little girl’s sitting posture and rubbed her head gently.
“For revenge…”
Ice shivered when she heard the cold voice of Jiu Shen. It was the first time she had heard this kind of tone from him. Just what was the story of this man… She wondered…
‘Hopefully, he will tell it to me one day….’ The little girl muttered in her heart as she held Jiu Shen’s hands tightly.
