Chapter 365: Old Man’s Last Wish

Yang Zenke stared at the old man with a hint of pity. He saw the old man fought with all his strength that day and despite his declining age, he was still able to release a terrifying burst of power. However, his opponent was an even scarier individual, Ren Shuang. The two battled for only a few minutes and Yang Zenke was certain that Ren Shuang wasn't even giving his all at that time. In the end, the old man lost his strength after overdrawing his true essence and was captured.

"Supreme Elder Jimen, Sect Master Jiu Shen wants to see you..." Yang Zenke said to the old man as he unlocked his cell.

"Hm? Your Sect Master wants to see a dying old man? Alright. I'm also curious about this person. Bring me there. Cough! Cough!" The old man stood up causing the chains tied on his arms to make clanking sounds.

When Yang Zenke entered the old man's cell, he finally saw how pitiful he currently looked.

Tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and numerous scars. The top expert of the Crimson Sun Sect now looked like an old beggar who hadn't eaten food for many years.

Yang Zenke hesitated whether he would unlock the chains on the old man's arms, but he inwardly shook his head upon recalling the old man's identity. 'I must never be merciful to my enemies...' He thought to himself.

"Come with me..." Yang Zenke indicated for the old man to follow him. The latter nodded his head slowly.

As Yang Zenke led the old man to Jiu Shen's room, their presence ignited a fiery conversation between the elders and disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower. They were wondering what would happen to the old man...

As for Supreme Elder Jimen, although he appeared to be walking calmly behind Yang Zenke, he was startled when he discovered the strength of disciples. Almost anyone of them was comparable to the elite disciples of his sect. Such a huge difference made him sigh to himself in disappointment and regret. If only he taught his son well, things could have been better... However, it was too late for him to regret things. Aside from a few people who had escaped earlier, all the members of the Crimson Sun Sect perished. He only wished that the remaining members would live a low-profile life and avoid getting into conflict with the Heavenly Sword Tower again.

"We're here." The old man paused in his steps when he heard Yang Zenke's voice. He tiredly lifted his head and stared at the room where they stopped. When Yang Zenke pushed the door open, Supreme Elder Jimen saw a young man with long silver hair leaning lazily on a chair. On his shoulder was a sleeping chubby white cat and standing on either side of him were two women who emitted a dangerous aura. When he scanned them, he realized in shock that they were at least as strong as the man he had fought back then.

"You must be Supreme Elder Jimen of the Crimson Sun Sect. You might have already realized my identity, so I will no longer introduce myself." The young man suddenly said in a calm and indifferent voice. He sounded arrogant, but Supreme Elder Jimen wasn't bothered by this since he knew that this young man was the legendary Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Tower. The man is known as the strongest expert in the entire Profound Dragon Continent!

The old expert tried to sense the young man's strength with his spiritual vision, but just as his spiritual power touched Jiu Shen's figure, he groaned and spat a mouthful of blood.

Cough! Cough!

'That power! When my spiritual perception barely touched his body, that was...' Supreme Elder Jimen lifted his head and stared at Jiu Shen with a horrified look.

"Brat, it's not good to peek at someone right in front of their face." He heard Jiu Shen speaking in a cold voice.

"S-Sect... cough! Master Jiu Shen's power is indeed as unfathomable as the rumors say... Cough! Cough!" The old man said with a forced smile.

Jiu Shen ignored his words and just stared at the old man with a disappointed look as he muttered. "You might be a Nascent God Realm expert, but you used a trash pill to help you promote your cultivation, causing your foundation to become unstable. Your lifespan did not even increase that much despite your breakthrough..."

Hearing Jiu Shen's words, Supreme Elder Jimen's eyes widened in shock. How did Jiu Shen know about that? Even his son did not know how he suddenly achieved a breakthrough!

What Jiu Shen said was indeed true. He had found a pill in an ancient ruin and when he noticed the vast amount of spiritual power in the pill, he immediately consumed it. His tribulation lightning at that time wasn't as scary as the others, so he was able to successfully break through to the Nascent God Realm. However, he also noticed that his strength was weaker than the other experts at his level.

"You... How di- Cough! Cough!" Supreme Elder Jimen held his chest and he almost fell to the floor, but then he noticed that his body was held in place by an invisible force.

"Since you're already here, tell me your last wish..." Jiu Shen glanced at the old man calmly. According to the reports of the Division Heads, Supreme Elder Jimen had been acting obediently in his cell. They also said that the old man initially wanted to make peace with them, but his son, the Sect Master of the Crimson Sun Sect did not listen to his advice. Because of these reasons, Jiu Shen decided to give the old man one last wish.

Supreme Elder Jimen was stunned upon hearing his words, but he hurriedly calmed down as he spoke. "To tell you honestly, before the final battle with your sect, I sent away a few elders and disciples of my sect. I hope that you won't kill them. That group was against fighting the Heavenly Sword Tower and they weren't involved with my son's wrongdoings."

Yang Zenke frowned when he heard the old man's wish.
