magicChapter 528: Jiu Shen Comes Out of Seclusion  

It was the same blazing sunny day in the desert region and The Immortal's Wine Store being the most famous resting place for vagabonds and travelers was densely packed with people. Despite the large number of customers inside the wine store, the temperature inside was cold. It was the perfect place to relax in the desert region!

Jian Wang and Furion were among the crowd of customers. They sat before a 2-person table at the far corner of the dragon building.

"Brother Jian, there have been more and more people going here. There might come a time when we wouldn't be able to enter the dragon building because of the sheer number of customers. If not for the steep prices of the wines, more of them would have been here." Furion shook his head as he muttered in a dejected voice. He had already stopped inquiring about the owner of the wine store a few decades ago. The wine store changed their waitresses yearly and it was hard to befriend even one of them.

Jian Wang remained silent. For some reason, something has been bugging him all this time. He didn't know where this uneasy feeling come from, but he knew that his instincts would never lie to him.

When Furion saw that his friend wasn't listening to him, he pouted in dissatisfaction. "Brother Jian, you've become more silent these past few years. Tell me what's going on." He said in a serious voice.

Normally, Jian Wang would converse with him about random matters, but he had become strangely quiet in the past few years. It was as if the man was troubled by something, but what kind of thing could possibly trouble a Celestial God Realm expert like him?

Jian Wang put down his silver cup and stared at the pouting Furion. He put on a serious look as he said. "In the last decade, I've been feeling uneasy for some inexplicable reason. I didn't think too much about it at first, but the uneasiness I'm feeling intensified as the days went by. This time, my instinct is telling me that there would be danger!"

Furion's casual look was replaced by a solemn expression. "Now that you said it, I also felt kind of jittery in the last few years. I thought it was just me getting old, but from the looks of it, things might be more complicated..."

Jian Wang nodded his head.

Suddenly, the door of the second floor was pushed open. Everyone unconsciously turned their heads when they heard the creaking of the opened door.

A man with long silver hair tied in a ponytail came out behind the door. His face was expressionless and he had a mysterious aura around him. Six more people trailed behind the man, all of them had overwhelming cultivations that scared the customers. The weakest among those six people was the purple-haired man who was at the mid stage of the Heavenly God Realm. As for the silver-haired young man leading them, they couldn't discern his power!

Under the stunned gazes of the patrons, the twenty young waitresses of the dragon building lined up in two rows and bowed at the silver-haired young man as they greeted him in respectful voices. "Greetings, Wine Master Jiu Shen!"

When the crowd heard the greeting, they became even more surprised. They knew that the mysterious owner of the wine store goes by the name Jiu Shen. However, no one has seen his shadow for the last hundred years. As if he had suddenly disappeared.

"Wine Master Jiu Shen? Isn't that the name of the owner? I heard that he entered into seclusion a hundred years ago. It seems like he had just come out of seclusion."

"The owner looks handsome!"

"Look at that little girl behind the owner. Isn't she the little lad that caused a ruckus here a long time ago?"

All sorts of discussions broke out following the arrival of Jiu Shen's group.

Many among the patrons sized up the silver-haired young man.

During the last hundred years, the reputation of the dragon building has spread far and wide that its grand name even reached the central parts of the Primordial God Realm! Countless renowned individuals wanted to see the mysterious owner of the wine store, but he never showed himself for many years.

Some people took out their communication crystals to tell their leaders about the arrival of the wine store's owner. Meanwhile, a few of them took out a Recording Array Formation to record the owner's entourage.

Six high-rank Heavenly God Realm experts following meekly behind a young man. It was rare to see such a shocking sight!

Jiu Shen calmly waved his hand at the greeting of the young waitresses. "Get back to work." He muttered in an indifferent voice.

The young waitresses bowed in unison before they went back to attend to the customers.

Jiu Shen ignored the gazes of everyone and turned his head towards the far corner. There were two people sitting there. One was a red-haired man and the other was a middle-aged man with a sword strapped behind his back. They looked normal among the customers, but Jiu Shen knew that these two were no ordinary people. The other one was a divine beast with a pure Phoenix bloodline. His strength was at the very peak of the Heavenly God Realm, just a breath away from the ranks of the Celestial Emperors!

Jiu Shen calmly walked towards their spot and stood in front of them with cupped fists as he greeted them. "Furion and Sword God Jian Wang, it's a pleasure to meet the two of you here in my humble store." His voice was neither servile nor overbearing. He still had the same expressionless look as he greeted the two top experts.

"Wait! Did he say Sword God Jian Wang?!"

"That man is actually Sword God Jian Wang?!"

"No way! I've been drinking here for many decades with Sword God Jian Wang?!"

Astonishment covered everyone's faces when they heard Jiu Shen's greeting.
