The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 457: No Way!

The Elf King immediately stepped out of his treehouse to greet the two unexpected guests. He looked relaxed on the surface, but he was already calculating in his mind in case these two had ulterior motives.

"One human and one demon. Long silver hair...is this man the rumored Jiu Shen?" The Elf King muttered to himself. He has heard of a human expert who had turned the Crimson Fiend Continent upside down. It was mentioned that this guy killed the Necromancer Emperor with just one move!

When he recognized Jiu Shen, the Elf King felt a bit nervous. There were Elders from the Heavenly Sword Tower who came to their Elf Kingdom to recruit some young elves to their sect, but he was the one who strictly disallowed them to join the Heavenly Sword Tower. The Elf King was a bit anxious since Jiu Shen might have held a grudge against him for what he did.

"Greetings, Elf King Amdiel. I am Ganda, the former leader of Narda Principality and now an Elder of the Heavenly Sword Tower. This man is Sect Master Jiu Shen, leader of the Heavenly Sword Tower." Ganda said with a calm look, but she failed to hide the proudness in her tone when she introduced Jiu Shen.

Elf King Amdiel revealed a smile. "So it's Elder Ganda and Sect Master Jiu Shen. Come. Let's talk inside my treehouse."

The Elf King brought the two to his treehouse under the curious gazes of the elven people. They couldn't help but speculate who these two were that even their king had to personally bring them to his place.

"That man looks familiar. I think I've seen a painting of him before. Weird..."

"Wait... I think that's Jiu Shen of the Heavenly Sword Tower!"

"No way! What is he doing here?"

The smile of the Elf King vanished. He stared at Jiu Shen and Ganda with a cold look on his handsome face. "What brings you two here?"

He didn't even bother to conceal his dislike towards them. His Elf Kingdom had been peaceful after the continental war fifty thousand years ago. They secluded themselves from the public and ignored the fight for supremacy. He didn't want to destroy that peace in his reign!

Ganda furrowed her eyebrows when she saw the hostile expression of the Elf King. After becoming Jiu Shen's subordinate, Ganda had become fiercely loyal to him to the point of veneration. She couldn't allow anyone to disrespect Jiu Shen in front of her face.

"Elf King Amdiel, we came here with good intentions, why do you seem so upset about our visit? Do you hate our presence here?" Ganda glared at the Elf King.

Elf King Amdiel shook his head and replied coldly. "You came here because I rejected the Heavenly Sword Tower's invitation to let the young geniuses from my kingdom join your assessment. You can't force me to change my mind. Our Elf Kingdom has been peaceful for thousands of years and I don't want to see my people dying again! Please leave at once!"

Just as Ganda was about to say anything, Jiu Shen raised his hand.

"We didn't come here to recruit the young generation of the elves. I came here to see what kind of man you are Amdiel. And it seems like I wasn't wrong about you. You are one close-minded fool! Yes, you will be able to maintain this peace for your kingdom by doing this. However, what would happen if someone stronger than you decides to invade your territory?" Jiu Shen flashed out a smile, but this smile looked incredibly evil in the eyes of the Elf King.

"Are you threatening me, Sect Master Jiu Shen?" Amdiel frowned as he looked at Jiu Shen with a hint of nervousness. If this man decided to attack them openly, he wasn't confident to leave unscathed. After all, he was just a peak stage Void God Realm expert, but someone on the same level as him died at the hands of Jiu Shen!

"You're not being cautious at all. You are afraid! You're limiting the growth of your people by doing this, Amdiel! Why are you acting like you are doing this for their own good?!" Jiu Shen's smile vanished and his face turned icy cold.

Amdiel's handsome face contorted. Jiu Shen's words were spot on, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Oh? Did I hit a sore spot? Look at this and it might change your mind." Jiu Shen chuckled and handed him a piece of parchment. It was one of the techniques he casually wrote when he nearly stepped into the fourth level of the Heart Realm.

Despite his displeasure, the Elf King took the parchment and slowly unfurled it. There was an ancient diagram drawn on the parchment, but he had no idea what it was. However, the more he looked at it, the more he became stunned.

"This is... This can't be! W-Why do you have this thing?" He stared at Jiu Shen with a dumbfounded expression. The parchment in his hand was holding a very mysterious technique cultivated by the ancient elves. If they had this technique, his Elf Kingdom would become a lot stronger, and breaking through the hazy Mystic God Realm would not be impossible for him!

Jiu Shen grabbed the parchment and kept it inside his space earring. He stared at the shocked Elf King with a calm smile. "What if I tell you that this was something I've casually written during my free time? Do you understand now?"

When Amdiel heard Jiu Shen's words, he was speechless. That was a technique that could enhance the bloodline of the elves, how was that possible?!

Amdiel's expression turned strange as he muttered. "You are not of this world... You must have come from that place!"

"If you're talking about the Primordial God Realm, then yes you're right." Jiu Shen shrugged his shoulders.

Amdiel immediately stood up from his seat and bowed towards Jiu Shen. "Sect Master Jiu Shen, please accept me as your disciple!"

"No way!" Jiu Shen turned him down immediately.
