The leader of the ogres finally came back to his senses. He turned around and bolted away at his fastest speed.
“What the hell! Who is that guy?! He actually killed everyone with just a few sword strikes! I must leave here quickly! Dammit!” He anxiously dashed away without even looking back.
However, a familiar figure soon blocked his path. It was the man who was holding a sword and a shield! The ogre leader gulped down nervously as he looked at this person. He could tell that he was no match for this guy! He lost the courage to move and his legs turned soft under the cold stare of the other party.
‘I’m finished!’ The ogre leader cried out in his heart.
The Soul Puppet slashed down his sword and decapitated the head of the ogre, causing a fountain of blood to gush out of the headless corpse!
The only survivor from the group was the dog person. The Soul Puppet grabbed him by the neck and handed him silently to Long Meili. He then disappeared without saying a word.
“Who is he? He’s too strong!”
“Is he the Sect Master’s friend?”
The Elders and disciples standing behind Long Meili exclaimed in admiration.
Long Meili ignored them and walked toward the dog person with a look of schadenfreude. This bastard dared to trick her! If not for the man sent by the Sect Master to protect them, they would have died in this place! This bastard deserves to be punished!
With a face filled with malevolent intentions, Long Meili took out a bunch of torturing equipment from her space ring.
Soon, the quiet street was filled with eerie screams and pathetic cries.
“Ahhhhhh!”
“Stooppp!”
“Heeellpp!”
After almost an hour, a bloody Long Meili stood up with a satisfied look on her face. She wiped off the blood stuck on her face and glanced at the map she took from the dog person. It was a map of Hard Rock City. They shouldn’t be lost this time with the map in their hands…
“There is a store nearby, but to make sure that this map is real, we should ask a few people to verify it.” Long Meili said carefully. Everyone almost died because of her carelessness. She learned her lesson this time. It was best to move cautiously in a new environment.

Meanwhile, outside the golden gates of the new branch store. The twenty females disciples that Jiu Shen brought with him were stunned.
Behind the golden fences, they saw a patch of spiritual plants that contained vast amounts of energy. They could already feel their dantian being stimulated by just breathing the air around them! From this, they concluded that those spiritual plants were beyond just precious! They wondered why Jiu Shen has brought them here?
Wait. This place has a similar structure to the Sect Master’s Wine Store in Morlon City. Could it be that…
The eyes of the young ladies shone with excitement as they realized this.
The two Soul Puppets guarding the entrance opened the gates for them with expressionless faces.
“Welcome back, Master!” The two greeted Jiu Shen with a hint of warmth.
Jiu Shen led the disciples to the garden and let them enjoy the beautiful sight.
The spiritual plants here looked incredibly pretty and enchanting. If not for their hidden power, Jiu Shen would have thought that they are harmless creatures. However, he knew that behind their beauty was an unfathomable strength that could crush anyone! Even in his peak state, he wouldn’t dare casually provoke a bunch of Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants…
“Sect Master, the spiritual plants here looked very pretty! What rank are they?” Sylvia Silveria, the only daughter of Elyk was among the chosen disciples to come with him here. She asked him with a curious look.
Don’t be fooled by her innocent appearance. This girl was now a Nascent God Realm expert! To be fair, all the young ladies that came with him here were at that level! The strongest among them, Sylphie Northcut, was already close to breaking through the Origin God Realm!
Jiu Shen glanced at the eager-looking young ladies with a smile. “Most of these spiritual plants are at the Supreme God-rank, and a few are at the Heavenly God-rank, but don’t worry. You won’t have to take care of them since I already have a few people in mind that are fit for that job. Follow me inside the dragon building. I’ll show what is inside.” He said as he walked towards the entrance of the dragon building.
The young ladies followed behind him with excited faces.
As soon as they stepped inside the building, they were almost blinded by the scene they witnessed!
Marbled flooring, jade walls, ornate decorations, and golden furniture…
Just one of the chairs here was already enough to buy a huge plot of land in Nuar! They were sure of it!
Seeing their shocked expressions, Jiu Shen chuckled. Even he was also surprised by the sheer luxury and regality of this new building. If not for his stable heart, he would have had the same reaction as them.
“Some of you guys might have already realized it. This dragon building is my new branch store, but to prevent future troubles, we will avoid having too much contact with the others from the Heavenly Sword Tower starting today. You’ve seen it yourself. The items and resources here are very precious and they would soon attract the attention of many experts. When that time comes, trouble will follow, so to prevent those people from harming our friends, we should cease our contact with them for the time being. From now on, you guys will be known as the waitresses of ‘The Immortal’s Wine Store’!” Jiu Shen knew that this was the best he could do in this situation. The Heavenly Sword Tower was still too weak. It would be bad for it to be implicated just because of the riches inside the dragon building!
