The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 391 - Lou Baiqing’s Panic



Lou Baiqing was panicking at the moment. He couldn't find any traces of Garland no matter how he searched Morlon City. It was as if the guy had suddenly disappeared. His abrupt disappearance made Lou Baiqing feel a bit nervous. Was Garland discovered by Emperor Balmond and was secretly killed or did Garland go back to Narda Principality to get reinforcements?

Lou Baiqing felt his head hurting from this unexpected news. He immediately sent one of his men to go back to Narda Principality to check if Demon Emperor Garland was there.

"Hopefully, he just came back to Narda Principality to ask for reinforcements." Lou Baiqing muttered. Although he knew that this was unlikely possible, he still hoped that Garland was still alive. The death of a Demon Emperor would significantly weaken the strength of their Narda Principality. Their plan to destroy the Bloodfallen Family would also fail since Garland played an important role in that conquest. It would be difficult to complete their objectives without Garland.

"What should I do now? If Garland is dead, Emperor Balmond should already be aware of our objective. Staying here would only mean awaiting our death. I should leave here and look for another place to hide." Lou Baiqing said in a somber tone. He then took out a communication crystal and relayed this to his subordinates. Although leaving Morlon City was the same as abandoning their plan, they didn't have a choice. They could only retreat for the time being and think of another strategy.

***

A few days later.

Third floor of Jiu Shen's wine store.

The tournament continued and the battle between the participants of the Earth and Heaven Battle categories became much fiercer.

There were only sixty-four participants left in the Earth Battle, while there are only sixteen for the Heaven Battle.

There were only two battle arenas remaining on the third floor and they were much bigger than the ones used in the past few days. This was to ensure that the participants would have an opportunity to show off their battle skills more effectively.

At this moment, Cornelia was fighting a middle-aged reclusive demon expert. This guy was at the late stage of the Demon Lord level and was proficient in spear arts. His spear left afterimages as he thrust it, making the crowd exclaim in awe and respect.

Even though the demon was a lot older than the crown princess, he was still a strong and respectable individual.

Cornelia's face was full of sweat as she blocked the spear strikes of her opponent using her spiritual power. She wasn't skilled in body strengthening and true essence cultivation, but her spiritual power was already at the level of Demon Lord. Her illusion and seductive arts also proved to be annoying for the middle-aged demon.

Just then, Cornelia summoned a gray fog that covered her entire body.

The middle-aged demon noticed that this gray fog had a peculiar scent. Suddenly, his eyes turned wide and he immediately covered his nose as he cursed under his breath. "Shit! I fell for it!"

Following this, his movements became sluggish and his spear strikes weakened considerably. Although he managed to hold with his strong combat abilities, he still succumbed under Cornelia's illusion arts.

Hanzo appeared in the battle arena dispelled Cornelia's illusion and seductive arts. He then proceeded to carry the unconscious middle-aged demon out of the battle arena to get treated.

"Cornelia Bloodfallen wins!" Blue announced her victory to the crowd, making everyone cheer her name loudly.

"Princess Cornelia! Princess Cornelia!"

"Almighty Princess Cornelia!"

The succubus flashed a seductive smile at the boisterous crowd, making their eyes lit up fervently. She was too beautiful and alluring that even the women in the crowd had hearts in their eyes.

Looking at this, the remaining participants of the Heaven Battle category stared at the victorious crown princess with solemn looks. They were already planning on how to stop her illusion and seduction in case they were matched against her. Her cultivation might be lower than their own, but her battle techniques and strange battle style might prove to be difficult to handle.

At this moment, Balmond was spectating the battle with Jiu Shen and Yue Bo. The Demon Emperor held his head high when he saw his daughter's victory.

"She has grown stronger as the competition reached its final period. If this progress continues, she might reach the mid stage of the Demon Lord level!" Balmond said with a proud look on his face.

Seated beside him, Yue Bo nodded his head in agreement. He had seen all of Cornelia's battles and he knew that Balmond was speaking the truth. The succubus was indeed a talented young demon.

"Congratulations, Brother Balmond! Your Great Demon Empire would surely become stronger under Princess Cornelia's leadership!" Yue Bo wasn't stingy with his praise.

Hearing this, Balmond grinned from ear to ear as he nodded, pleased with his words. "Don't praise her too much, Brother Yue Bo! That girl still has a lot to learn. By that time, I hope Brother Yue Bo can give her some pointers."

Yue Bo was surprised, but he still nodded his head with a smile. With his strength, it wasn't a problem for him to teach someone at Cornelia's level. "Since Brother Yue Bo is now part of Wine Master Jiu Shen's faction, of course, I would help! This is just a small matter."

"Wine Master Jiu, what do you think of Cornelia?" Balmond turned his gaze to Jiu Shen who was calmly watching the battles.

Jiu Shen glanced at Balmond and thought of Cornelia's recent battles. In his opinion, her use of skills was lackluster and even her techniques were flawed. Should he say it to Balmond?

Just as he was about to say the truth to the Demon Emperor, Jiu Shen saw Balmond's happy smile. He didn't want to destroy his subordinate's happiness, so he replied indifferently. "Not too bad. She can be trained. With Yue Bo's help, she might improve to a certain degree...."
