Chapter 249 - Prince Arslan

In the central parts of Beltran City, a humongous tower stood erect like a pillar. It was around six hundred meters tall and was shaped like a slithering snake hissing at the skies. This towering skyscraper was gifted by the emperor to his second son for his great achievements in cultivation and also in war.

Inside the topmost room of the tower, a man can be seen standing as he gazed through the window. He was looking at the bustling life of Beltran City from above, his eyes flashed with coldness.

"I’ve been here for a few years and many of my subordinates had already fallen within this human soil, but what did I get in return?! Nothing!" The man had long black hair and a refined-looking faded beard that made him look manlier and handsome. His black pupils now radiated with a tinge of reddish hue as the light of coldness in his eyes intensified.

This man is none other than the second prince of the Silver Wing Empire, Prince Arslan.

Suddenly, a man wearing tight black clothes emerged and kneeled in front of the second prince as he said.

"Your Highness, we have an urgent message from our people who are observing the Alliance."

Prince Arslan held back his anger and turned to glance at his subordinate. He then uttered in a cold tone. "A message? A few months ago, I asked for reinforcements from them, but we still haven’t gotten even a single soldier! Read the contents of the letter they sent!"

The man in black robes shivered when he sensed the rage in his tone, but he still did as he was told and opened the letter given to him:

"Your Highness, I know that you need more manpower right now, but this is not possible at the moment. One of our hideouts was discovered by the Alliance, making us lose thousands of our men. As much as I would like to help you, your subordinate is also powerless to do this. Currently, we are regrouping our remaining people and we will also hold a meeting to change our plans. I hope that you can grace us with your brilliant mind in this coming meeting since we would really need a great plot to achieve our plans. This subordinate awaits your presence, Your Highness."

The second prince’s anger subsided when he heard the contents of the letter.

"So more of our brothers had also fallen... Dammit! Investigate the authenticity of this letter and if this is indeed true, then I have to prepare to meet everyone else..." Prince Arslan ordered coldly before he shifted his gaze back to the bustling scenery down below.

"I obey!" The man in black robes said before he vanished from the room.

"Silver Wing Empire... This place will be mine one day..." Prince Arslan muttered in an eerily calm voice.

***

Inside the second floor of Jiu Shen’s wine store.

"Wine Master Jiu, I heard from your disciple that you will be going to the Divine Beast Continent after your sect’s opening ceremony. That place is the territory of billions of savage beasts and even my father would never dare to go there. Just what are you planning to do in that place, Wine Master Jiu?" Emperor Elyk asked as he looked at Jiu Shen with a curious look. He could hardly believe that there was actually someone who wants to visit that place...

Jiu Shen glanced at Can Ye when he heard that and the latter immediately evaded his gaze while whistling innocently.

’Your Majesty, do you really have to tell my master that I told you about it?’ Can Ye thought to himself, feeling rather fearful at what kind of punishment might come his way later.

"My plans does not concern you, Elyk, so there is no need for you to know about anything I do." Jiu Shen replied with a poker face.

Emperor Elyk shrugged and changed the topic. "I had my men visit the construction place of your sect building and they told me that it is nearing completion. From what they told me, it should be done in a day or two. Wine Master Jiu, do you need my help for the coming opening ceremony of your sect?" The emperor asked with a smile.

"Help? Hmm, maybe you could really help me." Jiu Shen said.

Emperor Elyk’s eyes shone when he heard his words and he immediately said. "Just tell what I can do to help you, Wine Master Jiu. I’ll make sure that it will be done right away."

Jiu Shen’s expression did not change as he replied in calm manner. "Just help me invite the most distinguished individuals in the Profound Dragon Continent."

Emperor Elyk was not surprised to hear that, but he could now sense the ambition of Jiu Shen and this made him a bit excited at the thought of it. ’Is he planning to conquer the whole continent? Or is it the whole of Nuar?’

"Hahaha! Don’t worry, Wine Master Jiu! With my father’s ascension to the Nascent God Realm, I should be able to use his power to invite a fraction of the Alliance’s greatest experts!" Emperor Elyk said in a confident tone.

"Good." Jiu Shen said plainly.

Emperor Elyk was all smiles as he excitedly stood up from his seat. "Wine Master Jiu, since this involves a lot of things, I have to leave immediately and begin my preparations. Just expect the presence of a lot of experts in your sect’s opening ceremony. Hahaha!"

The corners of Jiu Shen’s lips imperceptibly rose upon hearing the emperor’s confident words. He then waved his hands, signaling the emperor to leave.

Emperor Elyk obediently left the second floor when he saw this signal.

Behind Jiu Shen, Can Ye could only shake his head with a stiff smile after seeing the retreating figure of the emperor. ’Perhaps only my master could command the emperor this way. Even Alliance Head Situ was beaten black and blue by him...’ He thought.

"Can Ye, I think we need to discuss a few things."

Can Ye’s knees buckled when he heard those cold words, but he gained courage and immediately sprinted out of the second floor like a frightened bunny.

Jiu Shen chuckled and shook his head. "That kid..."
