Chapter 454: Rain Of Golden Swords

Hestia, Lu Sulan, and Can Ye glanced at the figure hovering above the clouds with excitement. 

"Master!" 

Demon Empress Ganda and Lou Baiqing also heaved sighs of relief when they noticed Jiu Shen"s arrival. 

"Wine Master Jiu Shen!"

The Necromancer Emperor frowned as he looked at the silver-haired human with a scrutinizing gaze. The more he stared at this human, the more anxious he become! He couldn"t sense this guy"s cultivation level! However, he soon calmed down. This human might have some item that can hide his cultivation against prying eyes. 

Elder Skull felt relieved as he thought of this.

"You must be Jiu Shen. I"ve heard a lot of rumors about you. However, I don"t think you are that special..." The old demon glanced at Jiu Shen in contempt. Now that this person was here, he might as well check if this guy was at least strong enough to entertain him. 

Jiu Shen ignored the old demon and handed a healing panacea to Hestia and his two disciples. He even gave the healing pills to the Demon Empress" group. 

"Thanks, Master!"

"Thank you, Wine Master Jiu Shen!"

Elder Skull was furious! An arrogant human actually ignored him?! Preposterous! 

"Jiu Shen, you think I"m afraid of you? I know all of those rumors about- eh? What?!" Elder Skull"s eyes widened as he watched Jiu Shen summon a rain of incorporeal golden swords and smite his undead army as if they were mere ants. The moment the golden swords touched the undeads, they were immediately incinerated! Not even an ash remained of them! 

After killing the last undead, Jiu Shen moved towards the old necromancer and asked in a teasing voice. "Did you say anything?" 

"Y-You... You! I did not say any-" 

Puchi!

A headless corpse dropped to the ground with a loud cras.h.i.+ng sound. 

Jiu Shen was still holding the head of the old necromancer. He stared at it for a while before crus.h.i.+ng it into powder! 

Utter silence...

No one spoke a word after what they saw. 

A peak stage Void G.o.d Realm expert with millions of undead soldiers under his command died just like that... 

Elder Skull, more famously known as the Necromancer Emperor, his name resounded like thunder for thousands of years, but he died without ever being able to fight back! 

Jiu Shen ignored their stunned faces as he moved towards Hestia. He looked at her with confusion as he asked. "Is there anything wrong, Hestia? With your strength, you could have defeated that old cretin, but you seemed to be distracted during the battle and you failed to release your full capability." 

Hestia revealed a look of remorse as she stared at Jiu Shen. "Master, I-" 

"We"ll talk later. For now, you should bring these two foolish disciples of mine back to the lotus building." Jiu Shen waved his hand and dismissed her. From her expression, he was certain that she might be experiencing the same thing that happened to Theia before. 

"Yes, Master!" Hestia bowed at Jiu Shen and left with Can Ye and Lu Sulan. 

After seeing them leave, Jiu Shen turned his gaze towards the Demon Empress who was now looking at him veneration. "Little girl, I"ll give you one last cha-"

"I agree! I"ll work for you!" Demon Empress Ganda blurted out excitedly. She couldn"t wait to work for this man! He killed a peak stage Void G.o.d Realm expert with just one move! What does that mean? It means that his strength had already exceeded that level! 

Mystic G.o.d Realm!

A realm that she thought was impossible to reach! However, one such person was standing right in front of her! 

Jiu Shen was speechless. The demon girl didn"t even let him finish speaking. "Well. That was quick. Nevermind. Just go back with me to the lotus building." 

In truth, he came here to try recruiting the Demon Empress again. It seemed like killing the old cretin helped speed things up. 

"Yes, Sect Master! But can you give me a moment to speak with Lou Baiqing first?" Demon Empress Ganda felt guilty for leaving Narda Princ.i.p.ality. This place had become her home for thousands of years. She was also somehow reluctant to leave here. However, Jiu Shen was her only chance to go beyond her limits! She couldn"t miss this opportunity.

"Fine." Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly and moved a bit further away. However, this was only for show since he could still listen to their conversation with his current power. 

The Demon Empress sighed as she glanced at Lou Baiqing and her subordinates. These men followed her for thousands of years and she didn"t have the heart to just leave them. "Baiqing, how about you go with me to the Heavenly Sword Tower? You"ve seen it yourself. Sect Master Jiu Shen is someone beyond the Void G.o.d Realm! If we follow him, we would have a higher chance to reach that level. The territory can be left in the hands of the Elders. As for their safety, the Great Demon Empire is our ally and they wouldn"t let anyone touch Narda Princ.i.p.ality."

Lou Baiqing hesitated when he heard her words. He stared at his subordinates and saw the looks of expectation in their eyes. He sighed and nodded his head. "Alright, but I hope you can bring the rest with us." 

The Demon Empress smiled when she heard his confirmation. "No problem! I"ll try to convince Sect Master Jiu Shen about this. There shouldn"t be no problem since these guys are the best experts of Narda Princ.i.p.ality." 

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and they were also excited! 

"You can take them with you. I need more men anyway since we will be creating a sword tower in our newly acquired territory." Jiu Shen who was hovering far from them suddenly spoke. 

The faces of the Demon Empress and Lou Baiqing lit up upon hearing that. 

"Thank you so much, Sect Master Jiu Shen!" They all bowed at him gratefully.
