Chapter 346 - Meeting Demon Ancestor Jun

"You can go back with me. I have a store in Beltran City and you will stay there as the temporary guard." Jiu Shen patted Aren's shoulder in a friendly manner.

Aren solemnly bowed his head as he replied. "I'll follow your commands."

His voice was filled with reverence and respect. Jiu Shen had helped him become a Nascent God Realm savage beast, a dream that he thought was unreachable for the likes of his tribe. There wasn't even a hint of reluctance on his part when he decided to follow Jiu Shen, for he knew that serving this expert would only be beneficial to him and his tribe.

Jiu Shen glanced deeply at Aren who had his head bowed. He already knew what the eagle was thinking, but he didn't mind. He badly needed subordinates not just for his stay in the Crimson Fiend Continent, but also for a greater purpose.

"Let's go." Jiu Shen turned into a streak of light as he flew through the skies.

Aren glanced at his tribe and shouted. "My kin, follow me to our new home!"

After shouting those words, Aren disappeared together with the remaining hundreds of Purple Feathered Flame Eagles.

The savage beasts and demons hiding within the forest heaved sighs of relief as they came out of their hiding spots.

"They are finally gone. That was scary!"

"That goddamn human is too strong! Who is he?"

"They went in the direction of Beltran City. It looks like the city will undergo changes in the coming days. To think that the Rebel Army actually had such an expert here."

Jiu Shen stared at the city gates of Beltran City that were coming into his view. He saw several hundred demons wearing full body armor at the top of the city walls. These demon soldiers were emitting a dangerous aura that was honed after undergoing dangerous battles.

Jiu Shen's eyes narrowed into slits as he watched the demon soldiers. "Did Aren's ascension make Beltran City wary? Or is there someone commanding these demons to gather?"

"Master, why did you stop here?" Aren arrived behind Jiu Shen and asked in surprise. Beltran City was still quite far, so he was surprised when he saw that Jiu Shen had stopped flying.

Jiu Shen glanced at his new subordinate and pointed in the direction of Beltran City. "See for yourself. It looks like your presence is not welcomed in Beltran City."

"This... Hmph! I didn't think that the demons of Beltran City would be this cowardly! Master, do you want me to make a path for you?" Aren muttered sinisterly. As a savage beast who had lived in continuous danger, he wasn't afraid of battle, especially after his recent breakthrough.

Jiu Shen lifted his hand and smack the back of Aren's head as he scolded lightly. "Fighting them would only make things worse. Go tell your tribesmen to settle down. Don't let them act aggressively once we enter Beltran City. Just leave the talking to me."

Aren rubbed the back of his head and nodded with an embarrassed smile. "Yes, master. I'll inform them right away."

Jiu Shen slowly descended from the skies. "To think that, I, Jiu Shen would actually be forced to talk peace with the demon tribe. How very pathetic I've become." He muttered in shame.

"Who is that?!"

"Is that a human?! How dare he come to our Beltran City in a high-profile manner?! Is he tired of living?!"

"His cultivation... I can't sense it..."

Jiu Shen's sudden descent caused a series of exclamations from the demon soldiers.

"Human, why have you come to our Beltran City?!" The leader of the demon soldiers stepped forward as he glared at Jiu Shen. His demonic eyes flickering with intense madness.

The demons and humans have been at war for thousands of years in this continent. There is no room for reconciliation for these two tribes and just meeting each other would immediately cause them conflict.

Jiu Shen turned his gaze to this demon captain, causing the latter to feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He shivered as his gaze met with Jiu Shen's unfathomable eyes. 'Such strong presence! This human is an expert! We're done for!' The demon captain shouted grimly in his heart.

Jiu Shen remained silent as he walked towards the demon captain. The rest of the demon soldiers could only stare at him as he walked past them. They were too scared to take a step forward in the face of Jiu Shen's unfathomable power.

Just as Jiu Shen was about to talk, an aged voice suddenly drifted within the city walls.

"You must be the Wine Master Jiu that Burlock has talked about..."

The demon captain inwardly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this voice. His back was already covered in a cold sweat without him knowing it.

Jiu Shen shifted his gaze to the side. Right there he saw a hunched old man holding a walking stick. Behind the old man were four individuals with strong auras. All of them were looking at Jiu Shen with scrutinizing gazes.

"So it's you... The old brat I've seen on top of the mountains. And these four young ones must be the Demon Lords of Beltran City..." Jiu Shen said in a calm tone as if he was unaware of everyone's gazes.

Demon Ancestor Jun's wrinkled lips twitched when he heard Jiu Shen calling him 'old brat'. He glanced deeply at this human, hoping to see through his cultivation level. However, no matter how long Demon Ancestor Jun looked at him, he failed to estimate Jiu Shen's power. It was as if he was looking at a normal human with no cultivation.

"You?! What did you just call me?!" Zorzoch, the most hot-blooded among the four behind the old demon pointed at Jiu Shen with anger.

Jiu Shen ignored Zorzoch. His calm gaze was still directed on Demon Ancestor Jun.

"You! How dare you-"

Demon Ancestor Jun lifted his withered hand, making Zorzoch close his mouth unwillingly.
