Chapter 479: Elder Vincent's Fear

The armored guards opened the golden gates and allowed the people from the Shadow God Sect to enter. 

Elder Vincent and his group walked through the marbled pathway with wide smiles on their faces. They were looking at the crowd with victorious expressions. 

"Eh? I was hoping for a good fight! I can't believe that the people from the dragon building are cowards! Are they really planning to compromise?" 

"I was expecting so much from them, in the end, they are still afraid of the Shadow God Sect's power. There's nothing to see here any more, we should leave..." 

More and more people soon left after seeing the sudden turn of events. They were disappointed by the dragon building's response. 

Elder Vincent tried to put on a calm look on his face, but when he turned his gaze towards the garden, his eyes widened like saucers. Now that he was up close, he found out that all those rumors about the existence of Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants in this place were all true! He felt his heart beating wildly after recognizing the worth of those spiritual plants. He then turned his head and motioned for a disciple to come near him. 

When the disciple saw the Elder's gesture, he stepped forward and listened attentively.

"Go somewhere far and inform the Sect Master using a communication crystal about the existence of Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants here. Tell him to bring everyone from the sect. We need to get all these items before the others can take them!" Elder Vincent whispered using his spiritual power. 

The disciple was shocked when he heard this, but he nodded his head solemnly and left. 

Seeing that the armored guards didn't notice anything strange, Elder Vincent smiled evilly.

'I have to apologize in advance! It's your mistake for owning such valuable resources without sufficient backing! You can't blame me for this! Hahaha!' Elder Vincent thought to himself as a mocking look surfaced briefly on his face, but he hurriedly concealed it to prevent others from knowing his intentions. 

Elder Vincent forced himself to look away from the spiritual plants. He then followed the leader of the armored guards and entered the dragon building. He couldn't help but admire the design of the building. Even their sect's headquarters paled in comparison to this dragon building. 'I wonder what type of materials they used to build this wonderful building...' 

When the group stepped inside the dragon building, they were dumbfounded. They were so shocked that they almost jump in surprise. 

Elder Vincent swiftly calmed his stunned heart. He couldn't believe that such riches can be found in one place! It appears that the owner must be one extravagant fellow! 

"A table has been reserved for your group. Please follow me." The leader of the armored guards muttered and led them to a much bigger table. This table could accommodate more than twenty people! However, there was a silver-haired human sitting calmly at the most prominent seat. He was reclining on his chair with a lazy look on his face. This human didn't even seem to notice their arrival.

"Wine Master Jiu Shen, I've brought them here." Elder Vincent was surprised when he saw how respectful the armored guard leader was to this person. Is this silver-haired human the owner of the dragon building? He wondered. 

Elder Vincent scrutinized Jiu Shen from head to foot. After looking at him briefly, he was a bit surprised when he realized that he couldn't sense the other party's cultivation level. He furrowed his eyebrows as he thought deeply to himself. 

Jiu Shen turned his gaze at the armored guard leader and nodded his head calmly as he said. "Alright. You may leave." 

The armored guard leader bowed at Jiu Shen before he left. 

Jiu Shen then turned his gaze towards Elder Vincent and gestured for his group to sit down. "Take your seats." He uttered in a calm voice.

Elder Vincent felt that this human wasn't normal. No matter how he tried to gauge the man's strength, he couldn't sense even an ounce of power coming from him. It felt as if he was looking at a normal human. However, Elder Vincent didn't let this fool him. This human was strong! That was the only explanation he could think why he couldn't sense his power. 

Elder Vincent thought that Jiu Shen had something to say, however, a few minutes has passed, but the man remained silent after letting them take their seats. He furrowed his eyebrows and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. 'What was this guy's name again? Was it Jiu Shen?'

Elder Vincent lightly coughed and spoke. "Wine Master Jiu Shen, do you have something to say to us?" 

Jiu Shen lazily turned his gaze towards Elder Vincent. He let out a mysterious smile as he replied. "Didn't you call for reinforcements? I'm waiting for them to come here so that I can destroy you all in one fell swoop." 

Elder Vincent let out a stiff smile. The sense of foreboding he was feeling earlier intensified when he saw the smile on Jiu Shen's face.

"You must be joking, Wine Master Jiu Shen." Elder Vincent let out a dry laugh, but Jiu Shen's expression remained the same. From the looks of it, the guy wasn't lying! Is he mad?! Their Sect Master is a Heavenly God Realm expert! 

"No. No. No. You called your Sect Master, right? I heard your words outside. You even specifically ordered that disciple to inform your Sect Master about the Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants in my garden." Jiu Shen changed his sitting position. He placed one of his legs on top of the other and glanced at Elder Vincent with a smirk. 

Hearing this, Elder Vincent's eyes widened in fear. He was using spiritual power when he commanded the disciple earlier! How did this guy hear them?! Is he a Heavenly God Realm expert as well?! 

He finally realized that he was screwed big time!
