Chapter 558: t.i.tle at the End of the Chapter
The information they got from Elena was shocking. However, Jian w.a.n.g"s eyes shone with vigorous energy for some reason. As if a fire that was stoked, blazing ferociously.
Seeing this, Elena scoffed. "Jian w.a.n.g, you might be a late stage Celestial, but don"t underestimate the two Hall Masters of Asgard. According to Asmodeus, he is the weakest among the three of them. The Hall Master of the Hall of Might in particular is very domineering. He was also the reason why I didn"t dare to come out of this forest. He told me that if I step foot outside this forest, he would forcefully take me as his bride. I don"t even know his name and I also couldn"t discern his power."
Jian w.a.n.g stared at her. A burning battle intent flashed in his eyes. "I"ve been stuck in my swordsmans.h.i.+p for many years and even my cultivation hasn"t progressed much. Now that I have someone to look forward to, I"m more motivated to train my skills!" He said as he clenched his fists.
"What about the Hall Master of the Hall of Creation? Any information about that guy?" Jiu Shen asked while looking at her.
Elena shook her head as she answered. "That"s all I know about them. If you guys want to know more, you should try asking Asmodeus. You three seemed to be so close."
Now that she mentioned it, Jiu Shen thought about his first encounter with Asmodeus. The guy brought him to h.e.l.l and even taught him about Array Formation Making and Weapon Crafting. They weren"t even close at that time, but the man offered his knowledge without hesitation.
"I don"t think that"s possible." Jian w.a.n.g shook his head.
"No. I think it is possible." Jiu Shen"s words shocked the two.
"What do you mean, Jiu Shen?" Jian w.a.n.g gazed at him in confusion.
"Think about it. He seems to be conflicted internally. Perhaps there is a dispute between him and the two Hall Masters. Although I"m not certain of this." Jiu Shen muttered as he lifted the gla.s.s to his lips.
Sip.
He placed the empty gla.s.s on the saucer. He then took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips.
The other two could only glance at him with fascination.
"It"s better if you stay here for now, Elena. We still have no concrete information about the military prowess of the two Hall Masters and even Asmodeus is still a mystery." Jiu Shen said in a calm voice.
"I know... I wanted to go with you guys, but I can"t..." Elena revealed a look of melancholy.
"I have a proposal that you might find attractive..."
Jian w.a.n.g and Elena turned their gazes at Jiu Shen, wondering what the man was up to.
"Oh? Alright. Tell me. If it"s good, I might agree." Elena covered her mouth as she chuckled seductively.
"You want to see the outside world, right?" Jiu Shen asked her.
Elena nodded her head gently.
"Elena, I will help you step out of this forest. In return, you will join my Heavenly Sword Tower."
The eyes of Elena and Jian w.a.n.g turned wide when they heard his words.
Jian w.a.n.g grabbed his shoulder and asked. "Jiu Shen, are you planning to fight against them?"
To that question, Jiu Shen shook his head. "If they can be reasoned with, then there is no need to fight. However, if they"re stubborn and refuse to answer my questions, then..."
Jian w.a.n.g immediately closed his mouth after getting his reply.
"What kind of questions are you going to ask them that you"re even willing to fight them if needed?" Elena was curious. She wanted to know why Jiu Shen was suddenly acting like this.
"You guys know that I died under the hands of Lao Gou millions of years ago, right?"
The two nodded their heads. They"ve heard about the news of Jiu Shen"s death. Many sword wielders lamented the death of such peerless talent. A great war even erupted at that time to take revenge for his death.
"I think my reincarnation is related to Asgard."
"You"re right. Only those guys are capable of doing that. Even Celestials like us could not revive the dead." Jian w.a.n.g was a late stage Celestial, but he wasn"t capable of reviving a dead person.
"I see... Alright. I"ll join your Heavenly Sword Tower, Jiu Shen." Elena smiled as she extended her hand toward Jiu Shen.
"Welcome aboard." Jiu Shen grabbed her smooth hand with an expressionless face.
"Wait. What about me? Come on, Jiu Shen! Just give me a large supply of your wines and I"ll join your Heavenly Sword Tower." Jian w.a.n.g pointed at himself.
Jiu Shen"s eyes twitched, but he still agreed. This was Jian w.a.n.g! The strongest sword user in the Primordial G.o.d Realm other than him!
And just like that. Jiu Shen managed to hire two powerful Celestials for the Heavenly Sword Tower.
"I will remove the spiritual barrier now. Those guys might be monitoring me so we should be careful. I will send a kin of mine to join you guys in your celebration. Just send me a formal invitation later." Elena said as she removed the spiritual barrier.
Jiu Shen and Jian w.a.n.g stood up. Now that they had completed their objectives here, it was time for them to go.
"In that case, we will take our leave, Elena. I hope that we will see you soon." Jiu Shen departed with Jian w.a.n.g.
Elena stood atop the branch of the Eonic Ragarwood Tree and stared at their receding figures.
Swoos.h.!.+
"Can they be trusted, Sister Elena?" An ethereal figure emerged behind Elena. Her smooth snow-white skin was covered by the leaves of the Eonic Ragarwood Tree. She was looking at Elena with a gentle look on her face.
Elena shook her head. "I don"t know, but they are the only ones that we can depend on."
The ethereal figure sighed and her body turned into a speck of golden light that merged with the branch of the Eonic Ragarwood Tree.
