The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 464: Corpse Lord

Chapter 464: Corpse Lord

The old bartender's eyes turned softer when he saw the small sack in Jiu Shen's hands. He then stared at the young human in front of him with a renewed look. "Speak. As long as I know it, I will answer your questions..." 

Jiu Shen smiled upon hearing the old bartender's words. "I came from outside the city and I heard that there was a city called Blue Rift City somewhere around here. Do you know anything about it?" Jiu Shen asked calmly. 

The old bartender's eyes flashed for a moment. He then look to his left and right cautiously before he answered in a whispering voice. "Young man, don't ask such questions in public again in the future. There is indeed a city called Blue Rift City, in fact, the location of Hard Rock City was once the area where Blue Rift City was located. However, the City Lord of Blue Rift City offended an esteemed personage. He was killed and destroyed along with Blue Rift City." 

Jiu Shen wasn't surprised when he heard that. Such things were normal in the Primordial G.o.d Realm. Without sufficient strength, you would only be trampled upon by others! 

After hearing the answer, Jiu Shen pushed the sack of G.o.d Stones towards the old bartender. "One more question, what happened to the Blue Wave Sect?" He asked with an indifferent look.

The old bartender cautiously took the sack of G.o.d Stones as he replied. "Young man, since you are generous, I will give you a final warning. The man who killed the City Lord of Blue Rift City was the same person who destroyed Blue Wave Sect. I don't know his real name, but people call him Corpse Lord..." 

Jiu Shen was satisfied with the information he received from the old bartender. "Thanks for the information." Jiu Shen nodded at the old bartender before leaving the pub. He decided to stroll around Hard Rock City to get more information. 

The city was quite prosperous and most of the establishments around had Array Formations for protection. Some even had ferocious savage beasts as guards!

After looking around for about a day, Jiu Shen ended up arriving inside the city's library. It was huge and had a vast array of books. Jiu Shen quickly went to the history section and search for information related to Blue Rift City and Blue Wave Sect. 

He found four books that mentioned them and he quickly read the contents of the books. Jiu Shen discovered that what the old bartender has told him was true. However, there was one additional detail he learned from the books. 

The City Lord of Hard Rock City was the same person who killed the City Lord of Blue Rift City! This revelation made Jiu Shen feel a bit contented. 

"I should go back and find the others. This place should be safe with the Corpse Lord overseeing things." Although Jiu Shen was still not in his peak state, he wasn't afraid of this so-called Corpse Lord. 

Jiu Shen soon left Hard Rock City and directly went to find the temporary camp of the Heavenly Sword Tower. It didn't take long for him to find them since he was familiar with this location. 

"Did you find anything?" Theia asked as she looked at Jiu Shen. 

Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly and replied. "I did find something. The Blue Wave..." He then told her about what he had discovered. 

Theia sighed upon hearing the story. She felt that the Blue Wave Sect and the Blue Rift City were quite pitiful to receive such an ending. "What do we do now?" She asked. 

Theia wasn't proficient in handling a sect. She was also not good at conversing with people due to her personality, so she could only ask Jiu Shen for guidance. 

"We will rest for now and let the others get familiar with the place first. Once everyone settles down, I will try to communicate with this Corpse Lord and see if he is willing to let us build a building near his territory. If not, then I'm afraid that Hard Rock City will have a new City Lord soon..." Jiu Shen said with a mysterious smile on his face. Theia also smiled upon hearing the confidence in his tone. 

A day later, Jiu Shen went back to Hard Rock City to search for the current City Lord who was famously known as the Corpse Lord. It didn't take him long to find the location since the city guards were easily bought by his G.o.d Stones. 

The manor of the Corpse Lord was situated within the central part of Hard Rock City. It was covered by tall walls made of precious high-level stones and the gates of the manor were protected by a team of peak stage Nascent G.o.d Realm experts. 

"Stay back! No one is allowed to enter the City Lord's manor without an appointment!" One of the guards warned when he saw Jiu Shen moving towards them.

Jiu Shen ignored the warning and continued moving forward in a calm manner. He knew that if acted weakly in front of these guards, he would be ignored by them. The most ideal thing to do here is to show them his might! 

When the guards saw that Jiu Shen didn't heed the warning, they immediately surround him while taking out their weapons. Anyone who would dare to ignore the City Lord's guards was not weak, so they immediately chose to take out their weapons. 

Jiu Shen merely smiled coldly upon seeing this scene. He could squash these cretins with a wave of his hand, but he did not want to cause too much trouble. The Corpse Lord might be backed by someone, so it was better to remain cautious without more information. 

Jiu Shen slowly released his True G.o.d Realm spiritual aura and shouted. "Corpse Lord, how about you come out here so that we can have a chat?" 

The guards were stunned when they felt the aura of Jiu Shen's spirit force. This human was actually a True G.o.d Realm!
