Chapter 356 - Amon
Profound Dragon Continent, Heavenly Sword Tower.
The Crimson Sun Sect was no more. Jimen Kanding, the sect's leader was killed by Ren Shuang in a single strike. All those loyal to him were also killed by the Blood Sword Division led by Yang Zenke. As for the sect's grand elder, he was spared by the Heavenly Sword Tower and is locked up in prison. The old man didn't even fight back when the Heavenly Sword Tower's people came to attack them. It was as if he had lost his spirit at that time.
It has been a few weeks since the destruction of the Crimson Sun Sect. The Heavenly Sword Tower was becoming more and more famous as time went by. Many talented young experts came to ask when will be the next recruitment date of the sword tower. However, the tower remained silent about all these questions.
A small little girl with long white hair was sitting on the balcony on the topmost floor of the sword tower. Her short chubby legs were swinging to and fro as she was in deep thought. A look of longing can be seen on her angelic face as she stared at the horizon.
"Stinky human, why did you not bring me to wherever you are right now..." She almost broke into tears as she muttered silently.
Just then, she felt a pair of arms wrapping around her waist. She turned her head and saw the dragon girl, Long Meili.
"Do you miss him?" Long Meili asked as she gently rubbed Ice's head.
The little girl pursed her lips as she shook her head. "No."
Hearing her answer, Long Meili smiled and patted her head affectionately. She had become much closer to this little girl during the past few weeks and she treats her like a little sister.
"I miss him too, but I know he will come back soon." Long Meili muttered in a hopeful tone.
"Really?" Ice glanced at her with wide eyes.
Long Meili nodded her head with a smile. "Of course. He has so many reasons to come back. As for when, I feel that he will come here soon."
"Okay. Meow..."
Not far from the sword tower, entrance of The Immortal's Wine Store.
A woman with long blonde hair was also staring at the skies with an unreadable expression on her face.
"I finally remember... The man who had the most hope to become the fourth Celestial Emperor...Recognized as the fourth strongest in the whole multiverse... Are you the same person I know... Jiu Shen?"
Theia's cold expressionless face turned gentle when she mentioned the name. Millions of years of longing... Even until now, her heart beats the same...
Suddenly, a loud shout reverberated within Beltran City.
"The Crown Prince, Prince Reinhardt, and the Third Prince, Prince Erevard were killed! Their bodies were found rotting in a deserted mansion at the outskirts of the city!"
Theia who was absorbed in her thoughts recovered from her stupor and glared at the owner of the voice.
Hmph!

Another week later, Crimson Fiend Continent, Morlon City.
"Your Highness Amon, this city is currently under the jurisdiction of Demon Ancestor Jun. It is best not to provoke that old man at this moment. He has been in the worst of mood during the past few days, so we should not cause trouble here in his territory." Hanzo said to the youth walking beside him. What was surprising was this youth was actually a human! He was wearing a royalty's robe and a jade necklace can be seen hanging on his neck.
If Jiu Shen was here, he would surely recognize this person. Because this person was none other than the second prince of the Silver Wing Empire, Prince Arslan! His real name is Amon and he is a prince of the Great Demon Empire!
He traveled back to the Crimson Fiend Continent using an ancient teleportation array formation. He failed his mission because of the establishment of the Heavenly Sword Tower. With their presence, he could not casually do his plans, but before he left, he killed the crown prince and the third prince. He also wanted to kill the fourth prince and the fifth princess, but they were always inside the Heavenly Sword Tower, so he could only return with a bleak face.
"Jun that old bastard? Hmph! That old fool wouldn't dare go against me!" Amon harrumphed coldly in disdain. His plan to take over the Silver Wing Empire was foiled, so he was also not in the best mood.
"Your Highness, the situation this time is different. There is a mysterious individual that suddenly came here to Morlon City. He created a lotus building and is currently selling wines of high quality. According to the old demon himself, this man might be a Void God Realm just like your father, His Majesty the emperor." Hanzo explained carefully. Although he did not like Demon Ancestor Jun, he still believed in the authenticity of the information provided by the old demon.
"A mysterious person selling high-quality wine? Might be a Void God Realm expert just like father?" Amon suddenly thought of Jiu Shen who always had an expressionless face. This guy was beyond mysterious and he also sells wine of high quality. Is it just a coincidence or...
Amon's face twitched when he recalled Jiu Shen's face. That man never once showed respect to him even with his identity as the second prince of the Silver Wing Empire. He was even humiliated by the Little Princess Sylvia inside the man's store.
"Let's go visit this lotus building. I want to see this person myself!" Amon gnashed his teeth as he muttered coldly.
Hanzo's face fell when he heard the prince's words, but he could only nod his head when he saw the latter's dark expression.
"Yes, Your Highness." Hanzo answered helplessly. He then led Amon and his subordinates to the lotus building. He felt nervous as he led the prince to their destination.. Although he has yet to see the mysterious owner of the store, he felt that Demon Ancestor Jun might not be exaggerating at that time.
