Chapter 486: Proposal?

"Celestial Paragon Tower?" Jiu Shen uttered coldly. His calm and indifferent face revealed a look of rage and contempt. In his past life, the Celestial Paragon Tower sent more than a dozen Heavenly God Realm experts and tens of thousands of other experts just to capture him, in the end, they miserably failed. Celestial Emperor Lao Gou had to intervene to reduce their casualties. 

"Yea, it's them! In order to let us escape, Brother Xuan sacrificed his life. Including me, two more Heavenly God Realm experts survived, and a few more of our core disciples also managed to escape. However, because of our severe losses at that time, we were forced to isolate ourselves for millions of years. It is only recently that we started going outside again..." Yin Long muttered with a heavy expression. He could not forget the events at that time. The sacrifice of his friends and the downfall of their God Sword Region. 

Jiu Shen glanced at Yin Long and suddenly thought of something. "Yin Long, go back to the God Sword Region and bring the other two Heavenly God Realm experts to me, but don't tell them about my existence yet. It is better if I do the explanations myself. Once all three of you are gathered, I will offer a proposal."

Yin Long furrowed his eyebrows as he pondered deeply. He wondered what Jiu Shen had in mind for them. "Yes, Lord Jiu Shen! I will bring those two here immediately!" He replied. 

"Alright. You can try the wines next time. We still have important things to discuss, so you must go now." Jiu Shen waved his hand. 

Yin Long nodded his head and stood up from his seat. "Lord Jiu Shen, I will come back with them." 

After saying those words, Yin Long left the dragon building and went back to the God Sword Region's headquarters at his greatest speed.

"With those three Heavenly God Realm experts, I could hasten the growth speed of my Heavenly Sword Tower. And if they agree to my proposal, things would become much faster..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself.

***

Heavenly Sword Tower's temporary camp.

Corpse Lord and Serek trekked the area with nervous expressions. They were afraid that they would be accidentally killed by Jiu Shen's people without being able to explain things. 

"Are you sure that this is the place?" Corpse Lord asked Serek as he tried to hide his anxiety. 

Serek nodded his head solemnly as he observed the surroundings. He could not forget this place. This was where they were spotted by a Supreme God Realm expert! "I'm sure of it. The armored guards would be here soon to give us a warning. Hopefully..."

Corpse Lord became even more nervous when he heard the uncertainty of Serek. He could only pray that they wouldn't be killed right away.

Suddenly, they felt their bodies stiffening as a man with a tall and lean figure appeared. He was wearing the same outfit as the armored guards, so Corpse Lord and Serek immediately identified him. 

"It's you again!" The armored guard muttered in a cold voice as he looked at Serek's familiar face. He was preparing to take out his sword, but Corpse Lord immediately shouted. 

"Wait! Wine Master Jiu Shen sent us here to be tested!" 

The armored guard frowned as he looked at Corpse Lord. "Do you have proof?" He asked in the same cold voice. 

Corpse Lord hurriedly nodded his head. "Yes, we have his token with us. Remove this restrictive force and we will show it to you..." 

The armored guard glanced at Corpse Lord and then towards Serek. "Fine! But if you show me something fake, then I wouldn't be polite anymore!" He then released the restriction force that he had cast towards the two. 

Corpse Lord and Serek felt the force that was restricting them vanished and they immediately sighed in relief. They then took out the token given by Jiu Shen and showed it to the armored guard. 

The armored guard took their tokens. He could the familiar aura of Jiu Shen within the tokens. He nodded his head and returned them to the two as he muttered in a less cold voice. "Follow me..."

The eyes of Corpse Lord and Serek lit up when they heard this. 

The two trailed behind the armored guard and they soon reached a temporary settlement. They could see hundreds of young humans dressed in white robes. Their robes had an insignia that they couldn't identify, but they guessed that this was the insignia of Jiu Shen's sect. 

The armored guard led them to a cold-looking blonde lady. She was only a peak stage Mystic God Realm expert, but surprisingly, Corpse Lord and Serek felt a wave of pressure when she looked in their direction. 

The blonde-haired lady frowned when he saw the armored guard leading two unfamiliar faces. "Who are they?" She asked in a frosty tone. 

The armored guard lightly bowed his head towards Theia and explained. "They have the master's token with them." He then turned his head towards the two and said. "Take out your tokens and show them to the Vice Sect Master!" 

Corpse Lord and Serek were both surprised. This Mystic God Realm young lady was actually a Vice Sect Master? 

The two immediately took out their tokens and passed them to Theia. 

She inspected the token carefully and when she sensed Jiu Shen's aura within the tokens, her expression eased up. "Why did he send you here?" She looked at the two curiously. 

Corpse Lord and Serek glanced at each other before answering. "Wine Master Jiu Shen told us to be tested here. We don't know the exact details, but he said that if we tell you this, you will know what to do. If we pass the test, we will become armored guards of the dragon building!" 

Theia nodded her head. "I see. Follow me. Once you pass the test, you will also become members of the Heavenly Sword Tower." She muttered as she gestured for the two men to follow her.
