Chapter 367: Burial

Yang Zenke buried the supreme elder of the Crimson Sun Sect on a mountain near the sword tower. The rushed burial was witnessed by countless experts including the new disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower.

Sylphie Northcut, the girl who had lost her family under the tyrannical Crimson Sun Sect watched the ceremony with an emotional look. She clenched her fists tightly as she muttered in her heart. 'Father, mother, everyone... May your souls rest in peace...'

Behind her was the fifth princess of the Silver Wing Empire, Princess Sylvia. The princess hugged her friend from behind, comforting her with her warmth.

Looking at the two girls, Prince Dante and his group of friends sighed heavily. They knew that it was best to remain silent on this occasion.

Not far from the burial ground, a group of less than a dozen robed individuals watched the burial ceremony. Although their bodies were covered by their robes, their faces which were exposed were covered in tears.

"Supreme Elder..." Mourned the robed figures.

"Supreme Elder, leave the others to me. I promise I will make the Crimson Sun Sect rise once again. As for the Heavenly Sword Tower... I won't be foolish enough to touch them as that idiot Jimen Kanding did..." The man leading these people muttered silently as he looked at the coffin of the supreme elder being buried into the earth.

Suddenly, he noticed a sharp stare looking in his direction. He turned his gaze and saw a man with a blood-red sword strapped behind his back. When he saw the appearance of the man, he instantly recognized that it was the rumored Division Head of the Heavenly Sword Tower's Blood Sword Division, Yang Zenke!

The eyes of the man in robes slightly trembled when his gaze met with Yang Zenke's. He sensed no killing intent from this sword demon, but he dared not meet eyes with him anymore. He heard of rumors about Yang Zenke. According to the stories told, Yang Zenke has killed hundreds of elders and disciples of the Crimson Sun Sect. Anyone who crossed paths with him was instantly diced into pieces. Such a ferocious man was definitely not someone he can afford to offend especially with the current situation of their Crimson Sun Sect.

The Heavenly Sword Tower gave their supreme elder a proper burial. Although it was a bit rushed, everyone still paid their respects to the dead expert who was one of the strongest individuals of the Profound Dragon Continent.

The robed man kept this gesture in his heart and thanked the Heavenly Sword Tower silently. After seeing that the ceremony was coming to a close, he turned his gaze to his group and said in a solemn tone. "From now on, I order every one of you to never touch anyone from the Heavenly Sword Tower."

"Yes, Elder!"

"Let's go!"

***

Silveria Imperial Palace, Beltran City, Silver Wing Empire.

Jiu Shen was personally welcomed by Emperor Elyk and the old emperor.

"It has been a while, Sect Master Jiu Shen! I've heard from the elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower that you went to the Crimson Fiend Continent. Perhaps only you would have the guts to go to that hellhole..." Emperor Elyk glanced at Jiu Shen with admiration in his eyes. Even the old emperor was staring at Jiu Shen with more respect.

'Hellhole? I've been to the real hell once and I've even talked with the Protector of Hell, the most mysterious among the three Celestial Emperors, Celestial Emperor Asmodeus! The Crimson Fiend Continent is just like a little playground to me.' Jiu Shen scoffed in his heart but he kept a straight look as he stared at the emperor and his father.

"I just went there to open a new branch. Luckily, the inhabitants there are obedient or I would have destroyed that... never mind. Bring me inside first before we talk..." Jiu Shen did not wait for Emperor Elyk's answer and swaggered inside the palace as if he owned the place.

"He definitely said he would destroy that continent..." Emperor Elyk muttered with a wry smile as he watched Jiu Shen's lean figure walking straight into the throne room.

"Hey, Jiu Shen! Wait!" Ice who was in her human form skipped towards Jiu Shen with a wide smile on her face.

The two girls, Long Meili, and Theia immediately followed the girl, leaving behind Emperor Elyk and the old emperor standing foolishly.

"Sigh! I wonder what that man did in that place. Perhaps his arrival in the Crimson Fiend Continent caused a major commotion..." The old emperor muttered as he dragged his son towards the throne room.

Emperor Elyk and the old emperor saw that Jiu Shen and the three ladies were already seated on chairs that they could not recognize. However, the two of them were already used to this scene, so they were not that surprised.

Emperor Elyk dared not seat on his throne especially in front of Jiu Shen, so he commanded an imperial guard to get two chairs for his father and himself. After the imperial guard arrived with two chairs, Emperor Elyk sat in front of Jiu Shen.

"Sect Master Jiu, your arrival was unexpected, but I wonder why you're here..." Emperor Elyk stared at Jiu Shen with inquiry. Although he already had his guesses about Jiu Shen's arrival, he still asked the man to make sure that they were on the same page.

Jiu Shen leaned on his chair and glanced at the emperor as he replied. "I've heard of the death of your two sons. I came here to offer my condolences and also information about the killer..."

A few months back then, Jiu Shen gave a few items to the Alliance in case the demons attacked them, but it looks like the Silver Wing Empire did not receive one of them. If they had his items, perhaps the two princes would have survived the assassination.

Hearing Jiu Shen's words, Emperor Elyk sighed and shook his head. "So you've also heard about it. As for the information that you're talking about... I wonder if you can tell me more about it..."
