Chapter 354 - Important News
"General Armand, t-that man is capable of manipulating space to a high degree! Only experts at the level of Void God Realm are capable of doing that! I learned this from a fragmented copy of an ancient book. According to that book, when one reaches the Void God Realm, they can tear through space and travel to anywhere in the world in mere seconds! I can't believe that there is actually a human at that level!" The bespectacled soldier adjusted his broken glasses as he whispered to the general.
The general's name was Armand and he was an expert at the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint. He was just a step away from breaking through the Nascent God Realm. However, only he knew how difficult and long this step would take him. It wasn't even guaranteed that he could reach the next realm without any problem.
When General Armand heard his subordinate's words, he was also shocked. He thought that the humans would never be able to reach that kind of prowess if they would continue to live under the shadow of the Demons, but when they saw Jiu Shen's small display of power, he felt as if he was a frog at the bottom of a well.
"I saw that man before. He visited me back then, but I was unaware of his intentions. If I knew that he would have this kind of cultivation, I would have begged him earlier to help us rescue the young master. Luckily, we were still able to save the young master, but we lost more than half of our brothers in this stronghold to succeed." General Armand felt remorseful when he recalled the death of his subordinates. He blamed himself for not trying to ask the help of Jiu Shen because of his suspicions.
The bespectacled soldier patted General Armand's shoulder and said. "General, with the young master's talent, he will become a great expert in ten years or so. By that time, we will avenge our brothers!" There was a violent gleam in his eyes as he said those words. He also hated the demons for killing so many of their friends.
Genera Armand exhaled deeply and nodded his head. "You're right. I believe that the young master will help us avenge our brothers! We've been fighting with the demons for many years, ten years isn't a long wait for me... For now, let's see what kind of spiritual herbs we can find here..."
Hearing his words, everyone eagerly stared at the cacophony of precious herbs outside the lotus building. The air around this small herb garden was vibrant and soothing. They could even feel their dantian churning in anticipation after inhaling the fresh air around the herb garden.
"General, this herb... I think this is a Nascent-rank Silver Star Fruit. Consuming this fruit would help someone with low cultivation increase their talent. Furthermore, it has no negative side effects and it can even increase one's cultivation by one major realm! Do you think we could give this to the young master?" The bespectacled man eyed a star-shaped silver fruit. It was exuding a dense amount of spiritual essence.
General Armand was slightly tempted upon hearing the man, but when he recalled Aren's cold words earlier, he immediately dispelled all thoughts of taking the fruit.
"Are you tired of living?! Didn't you hear what that lord told us before we came here?" He scolded the man harshly.
The bespectacled man was embarrassed, but he knew that he could not do anything about his wishful thinking. Who wants to provoke the owner of this lotus building? Not to mention that all his subordinates were at least of the Nascent God Realm! He could even hear the cries of the Purple Feathered Flame Eagles nearby. If they really try to steal this fruit, they might be fed to those eagles. Thinking about that, the bespectacled man shuddered in fear.
"We are taking this stalk of Blood Lingzhi. With its size, it should be enough for our brothers to heal their wounds. In fact, only half of it would be enough to completely heal them. I wonder if we can take this..." General Armand was slightly ashamed of his own thoughts. He was actually thinking of taking a small bit of profit from the man who had saved their lives. However, he could not really help it since this Blood Lingzhi was important to him and his men.
Just as he was hesitating whether to take this spiritual herb, he suddenly heard a calm voice from within the store. "Take the Blood Lingzhi and one Silver Star Fruit."
The eyes of General Armand and the soldiers lit up when they heard the voice. They knew that it was the mysterious expert at the 'Void God Realm'.
After getting Jiu Shen's approval, General Armand immediately commanded his subordinates to take the spiritual herbs. Excitement could be seen on their faces as they carefully plucked the herbs.
Inside the store, Jiu Shen chuckled when he saw the soldiers distributing the Blood Lingzhi with wide smiles on their faces.
***
One week later.
"Your Majesty, Demon Ancestor Jun has come with important intel." A bulky demon wearing black heavy armor bowed deeply at the robed individual sitting on the throne. He dared not even look at the latter's figure as he kept his head down.
The figure sitting on the throne replied with an eerily high-pitch voice. "Let him in."
The bulky demon soldier felt all the hairs on his body stand up when he heard the man's voice, but he still stood up and acknowledged the command. "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The demon soldier pushed the huge double doors of the throne room. An old demon with a wrinkled face can be seen just outside the throne room. He nodded at the demon soldier and stepped foot inside the throne room.
"Your Majesty, your subordinate is here to deliver important information...." The old demon kneeled on one knee as he uttered those words.
