Chapter 483: G.o.d Sword Region

"Greetings, Wine Master Jiu Shen!" The City Lord did not dare looked Jiu Shen in the eyes as he bowed at him respectfully. When they first met, he thought that this guy was just someone with equal standing as he was, but who knew that he was actually just hiding his strength? He shuddered when he remembered that he tried to kill this fellow when he came to the City Lord"s manor. He realized how lucky he was at that time...

Serek stood behind the City Lord without saying a word. He was just a peak stage Mystic G.o.d Realm expert. In front of Jiu Shen, even the City Lord had to humble himself like a lowly servant. 

Jiu Shen glanced at the City Lord with a calm look. He then gestured for him to sit on a nearby chair. 

The City Lord felt nervous as he sat before Jiu Shen. He had been coming here in the dragon building every day because he couldn"t cultivate properly. The reason for that was because he knew about Jiu Shen"s secret. He has another force outside of Hard Rock City! At first, he thought that he could sell this information to a top sect, but when he witnessed Jiu Shen"s strength, he immediately buried that thought. 

"I heard that you"re looking for me..." Jiu Shen muttered indifferently. When he saw the anxious look of the City Lord, he already had a few guesses on why the guy was here.

"Wine Master Jiu Shen, it"s like this..." The City Lord glanced to his left and right to check if there was someone listening to their conversation. 

"No need to worry. I"ve already isolated the area around us. Even if a Heavenly G.o.d Realm uses his spiritual power to eavesdrop, they wouldn"t hear anything, so you can speak freely." Jiu Shen suddenly said.

The City Lord let out an embarra.s.sed smile as he said. "Wine Master Jiu Shen, I came here to promise you that I won"t tell anyone about your connection with the force outside of Hard Rock City. Other than that, I also came here in hopes of becoming your subordinate." He looked nervously at Jiu Shen when he said the last sentence, but the man"s expression didn"t even change, so he couldn"t tell what Jiu Shen was thinking...

"The dragon building doesn"t lack people. Besides, you are still too weak to even become an armored guard here..." Jiu Shen"s words were like a direct stab to his chest, but the City Lord already expected this rejection. 

"However, I can give you the opportunity to reach the Supreme G.o.d Realm. Once you reach that level, you can become an armored guard of this dragon building." Jiu Shen"s next words made the City Lord extremely ecstatic. This was a promise from a peak stage Heavenly G.o.d Realm expert! 

The City Lord immediately rose to his feet and bowed at Jiu Shen gratefully. "Wine Master Jiu Shen, I won"t disappoint you!" 

"But you still have to pa.s.s a trial in order to become one of us. You see, I don"t want people to betray me, so I created an item that is capable of seeing the true heart of someone. Your loyalty will be tested, are you prepared?" Jiu Shen muttered in a cold voice. This Corpse Lord was quite a questionable individual, so Jiu Shen had to be careful. 

The City Lord panicked when he saw the cold gaze of Jiu Shen. He hurriedly nodded his head and expressed his determination. "Wine Master Jiu Shen, I"m ready!" 

Jiu Shen nodded his head and gave him a token. "This is a token of my Heavenly Sword Tower. It is a sect that I created just recently. You already know their location, so go there and show this token to the people there and tell them that I sent you to be tested." 

The City Lord accepted the token and kept it inside his s.p.a.ce ring carefully. "Thank you so much for your trust, Wine Master Jiu Shen!" 

Jiu Shen turned his gaze towards Serek and handed him another token. "Since you are here, you can go with him to be tested." 

"This... I-..." Serek was at loss for words. He wanted to say something to Jiu Shen, but the man was already gone. He glanced at the token in his hands and kept it. 

"Congratulations, Serek! It seems like we will become colleagues in the future!" Corpse Lord patted Serek"s shoulder encouragingly. 

"City Lord..." Serek felt slightly emotional. 

"Come on! Don"t give me that look. Haha! Let"s go!" Corpse Lord chuckled and grabbed Serek out of the dragon building. 

***

Far from Hard Rock City, there was a humongous castle surrounded by tall walls. The castle was heavily guarded by hundreds of experts and there was even a Protective Array Formation inscribed on the walls! 

This impenetrable fortress was the headquarters of a major sect called G.o.d Sword Region. The G.o.d Sword Region was the true overlord of this part of the continent and they have three Heavenly G.o.d Realm experts behind them! Furthermore, the founder of this sect was once the student of a renowned individual crowned as the second strongest swordsman in the history of the Primordial G.o.d Realm. This renowned individual also became the fourth strongest in all realms just right after the three Celestial Emperors! 

The G.o.d Sword Region once had eight Heavenly G.o.d Realm experts, however, five of them died including the founder. As for the reason for their deaths, the remaining members of the G.o.d Sword Region chose to remain silent about it...

Now, in the main hall of the G.o.d Sword Region, the three Heavenly G.o.d Realm experts were seated before a round table. One of them suddenly spoke. 

"Are you sure that someone that goes by the name of Jiu Shen had suddenly caused a commotion in Hard Rock City?" The one who spoke was an old man with a fat figure. 

An old man with gray sword-like eyebrows and long white hair nodded his head. "I"m sure of it. I"ve heard of it from a core disciple who was out on a mission. I don"t know if this is a coincidence, but he has the same name as the teacher of our founder..."
