The Immortal's Wine Store

Dante Silveria slowly stood up as he dusted his clothes. He felt his whole body aching and he could even hear his bones emitting a series of cracking sounds.

"Dammit! It still hurts!" He cursed as he held his battered body. He then checked his dantian and smiled widely after noticing the changes.

Hahaha!

"I\'m finally a Nascent God Realm cultivator! Hahaha! Cough! Cough!" He erupted into laughter, but then he choked and coughed excessively.

"Easy, boy! Take it easy!" Ice chuckled as she descended in front of Dante. She nodded her head with a look of approval as she stared at Dante and the other ascenders.

"Good job, everyone! At least you didn\'t waste the resources poured onto you by Jiu Shen and the Heavenly Sword Tower. But before anything else, we should first greet our guests..." Ice said as she looked into the distance.

Dante and the other newly ascended Nascent God Realm disciples were confused, but they followed her gaze out of curiosity.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of wild and loud laughter suddenly echoed above the skies followed by the arrival of more than ten muscular demons dressed in shiny battle armor. The demon leading them had a peak stage Origin God Realm cultivation, while two were at the early stage Origin God Realm! The rest were Nascent God Realm experts!

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, friends! Don\'t worry! We bear no ill will." Amar Torgrim smiled as he slowly descended towards Ice\'s group. However, he didn\'t move too close to them and maintained a polite distance. He didn\'t want a fight to happen since the opposing party had more people than them.

"And who might you guys be?" Aren frowned as he glanced at the demons.

Cornelia, Dante, and the other disciples held their breaths as they stared at this group of demons. They could already feel their hearts beating wildly.

Amar signaled his group to relax before he stepped forward and answered Aren\'s question. "We are from the Torgrim Family, one of the three founding families of the Great Demon Empire."

Hearing this, everyone was startled. Other than Cornelia, none of them knew anything about the Torgrim Family, but upon looking at the people they sent, this noble family shouldn\'t be weak.

Cornelia furrowed her eyebrows as she carefully observed the muscular demon. Suddenly, she recalled the identity of this demon. "Are you perhaps Elder Amar Torgrim?"

Amar turned his gaze towards the succubus and narrowed his eyes upon seeing her, but he hurriedly concealed it. He then smiled at her and nodded his head. "That\'s right. I thought no one would remember me anymore after staying in seclusion for more than thousands of years! It seems like Your Highness is very well-informed!"

Cornelia didn\'t discover the changes in his expression.?She didn\'t have a good impression of anyone from the Torgrim Family and the Lycan Family. Even if this demon was smiling like a friendly elder, she knew that this guy was just hiding his motives. "You praise me too much, Elder Amar."

"Amar, is it? As you can see, our disciples had just broken through the Nascent God Realm, and they still need to recuperate. Can you bring your people away, so they can begin to heal their injuries?"?Ice put her hands on her hips as she eyed the muscular demon with a grave look. She also subtly release her peak stage Origin God Realm aura to intimidate the opposing party.

Sensing her aura which was even denser than his own, Amar Torgrim felt stunned in his heart, but he maintained a calm expression on his face. \'So the strong aura I felt earlier was from this little savage beast...\'

"Of course! We apologize for bothering you guys. Farewell!" Amar gave them a deep look before he left with his group.

Dante and the other disciples heaved a sigh of relief after seeing them leave.

Ice continued to glare at the demons until their silhouettes could no longer be seen. She then moved her gaze back towards Dante and the others. "Hurry up and recuperate your injuries! More people might come if you dally any longer! Move!"

The disciples immediately squatted and took out healing pills from their space rings. After consuming their pills, the complexion of the disciples became rosier.

After seeing that they had already finished recuperating, Ice commanded them. "Alright! Let\'s go back to the lotus building!"

"Yes, Elder Ice!"

***

Torgrim Family\'s castle.

"Your Majesty, we have discovered the identity of the group." Amar Torgrim kneeled as he reported.

Stormhoof glanced at him and said. "Oh! Tell me then..."

Amar didn\'t let him wait anymore and answered. "We found out that the people who broke through the Nascent God Realm was a group of human youths. They were wearing the same set of robes, so they should have the same origin. We also discovered Cornelia among them and she seems to be close to those humans. After our encounter, I can tell that those humans aren\'t from the Rebel Army. They should be subordinates of that man named Jiu Shen!"

Hearing this, Stormhoof\'s eyes slowly constricted. "Are you telling me that the little slut of a succubus is still alive and kicking?! Which group of trashes did you even send to assassinate her?! Useless fools!"

His late stage Void God Realm aura exploded and almost suffocated the kneeling Amar. He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty. "Your Majesty, among those humans, there were three Origin God Realm savage beasts whose strength might not be weaker than mine. The assassins we sent must have been killed by them..."

Stormhoof snorted and sent Amar flying with a wave of his hand. "Go send a messenger to the Lycan Family and tell them about what you discovered!"

Amar climbed up from the ruins without even bothering to wipe the blood off his face.. He immediately nodded his head. "Yes, Your Majesty!"
