Chapter 555: The Allied Army Offers Their Assistance
Jiu Shen felt everyone’s stare boring down on him, but his face remained calm as he grabbed Lao Gou’s guandao from his space earring. “This the weapon that Lao Gou used to fight me.”
The crowd stared at the guandao with fascination. The weapon in itself looked mighty and imposing. There were also high-level inscriptions inscribed on the blade of the guandao.
“That is a Celestial-rank weapon…” Jian Wang muttered as he closely observed the golden guandao.
Asmodeus nodded his head and pointed at the inscriptions as he added. “Indeed. And the inscriptions here are at the Celestial-rank. That means this weapon is not just a common Celestial-rank guandao. It’s the best of the best!”
The words of the two Celestials carried a huge weight and everyone could already tell the value of the weapon from their words alone.
It was priceless!
Then, the crowd recovered their senses. Since Wine Master Jiu Shen has the weapon of Celestial Emperor Lao Gou, does that mean that he…
Amazing!
Jiu Shen kept the guandao inside his space earring. He then sent an apologetic look toward the crowd. “Everyone, most of you here live in the Central Region, but as you can see, the place isn’t habitable at the moment. I apologize for that.”
“No! It’s fine, Wine Master Jiu Shen! We can just rebuild our territory!” Ri Kushou stepped forward eagerly. His bet has paid off! Jiu Shen won against Lao Gou!
Jiu Shen turned his gaze towards Ri Kushou. This man was the Great General of the Armored Wyvern Army. A peak expert beneath the Celestials!
“General Ri Kushou and the Armored Wyvern Army helped us in defeating the Celestial Paragon Tower. Miss Ai Chen and the Heavenly Melody Pavilion also supported us.” Theia’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone here were top experts so they managed to hear her voice clearly.
Ri Kushou grinned upon hearing her words, while Ai Chen let out a shy smile. On the other hand, the others who chose to stay on the sidelines were regretting their actions. It was a chance to make a Celestial indebted to them, but they failed to grasp the opportunity. Too bad…
“What are your plans, Jiu Shen?” Jian Wang suddenly asked.
Jiu Shen glanced at him and answered. “The reconstruction of the Central Region is the top priority. I’ve already asked someone to call for a construction firm that would take this job. The search for survivors is also underway so it should be fine for now. Oh, right. I have something to tell you guys.”
Everyone stared at him in confusion. What was he going to say?
Jiu Shen smiled and announced. “I’ve decided to make this place my territory. From now on, this region will be renamed Heavenly Sword Region!”
Heavenly Sword Region.
“Ho! I see. That’s good. Do you want us to help in reconstructing the Heavenly Sword Region?” Jian Wang smiled as he offered that.
“That would be great!” Jiu Shan readily agreed. With more people helping him, the reconstruction speed of the Heavenly Sword Region will increase.
“In that case, we will offer our manpower and resources to help Wine Master Jiu Shen in reconstructing the Heavenly Sword Region!”
“That’s right! We will help Wine Master Jiu Shen!”
The allied army immediately offered their assistance. It was a chance for them to befriend the new ruler of the region! They didn’t want to miss this opportunity!
“Thank you, everyone! After the reconstruction of the Heavenly Sword Region, I will invite all of you for a celebration!” Jiu Shen said with a smile.
It wasn’t bad to make friends with these people. They might have ulterior motives, but it was fine. Jiu Shen knew how to bind these people with him and make them his own.
And with that, the allied army immediately divided their workforce to begin the reconstruction process of the Heavenly Sword Region.
“I have an assistant who works for me. He will be responsible for the overall progress of the reconstruction. His name is Marbas.” Jiu Shen informed them.
The leaders of the allied army ingrained the name in their minds.
Soon, they left and started their preparations.
The only ones left were the members of the Heavenly Sword Tower and the three Celestial Emperors.
“You guys should help Marbas. The others might not listen to him since he is an itinerant cultivator. Theia, we will talk about everything once I come back. I still have something to do.” Jiu Shen held Theia’s hand gently as he looked at her.
Theia nodded her head. “Alright, I understand.”
Theia led the Heavenly Sword Tower.
When they left, Jiu Shen glanced at Jian Wang and Asmodeus. “Do you guys know about Elena?”
Jian Wang furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head. “No. Why?”
Asmodeus was silent as if he was hesitating, but he also shook his head.
‘It looks like Jian Wang has no idea about her, but Asmodeus is acting suspiciously. What is he hiding?’ Jiu Shen thought to himself.
“Before I became a Celestial, everyone thought that there are only three Celestials in the Primordial God Realm. Jian Wang, Asmodeus, and Lao Gou. What if I tell you that there is actually a fourth Celestial?”
“What!?” Jian Wang reacted strongly that he even grabbed Jiu Shen’s shoulder.
“You heard me right. There is a fourth Celestial hidden in the outskirts of the Southern Region. You guys know about the Eonic Ragarwood Tree, right?”
Jian Wang and Asmodeus nodded their heads.
“Elena is an Ancient Fairy and she is also the guardian of the Eonic Ragarwood Tree. I came to know about her existence just recently.”
“So that’s how it is. No wonder I feel my senses are messed up every time I go near that place. So there is actually a Celestial protecting the Eonic Ragarwood Tree in secret.” Jian Wang muttered still reeling in shock.
“Are you planning to meet her now?” Asmodeus asked.
Jiu Shen nodded his head. “I’m curious why she chose to hide from the public.”
