Chapter 532: Ai Chen’s Distress
With the help of the six great leaders, the allied forces that came to the desert region were unified. More than a hundred million soldiers from different factions stood in attention under the stern gazes of their leaders. All of them were prepared for the coming of the Infernals!
"Jiu Shen, our numbers are still lacking compared to the Infernals. It would be a tough battle for our soldiers." Jian Wang said as he stared at the huge army of soldiers.
Jiu Shen directed his gaze toward the soldiers. They might be strong, but the Infernals numbered in billions! They would be overwhelmed if they fought an army of that size! "We can only use the remaining time to create Array Formations to support our soldiers. I heard that Pavilion Mistress Ai Chen and her Heavenly Melody Pavilion are experts in Array Formation Making. I'll instruct them to make Array Formations."
Jian Wang nodded his head. Time was tight, but they didn't have any other choice. They could only supplement the lack of soldiers with Array Formations. Luckily, Heavenly Melody Pavilion answered their call for support.
Jiu Shen searched for Ai Chen among the crowd and found her talking with a few leaders. She was truly beautiful and even Jiu Shen could not help but praise her beauty in his heart.
She was crowded by the leaders of multiple factions. Jiu Shen could sense that she was in distress. 'Beauty is a blessing, but also a curse...' He sighed in his heart.
He walked toward the group with confident strides. A gentle smile covered his face. "Miss Ai Chen, can I take some of your time?"
***
Ai Chen was feeling slightly troubled. She was forced to communicate with a bunch of old experts due to their circumstances. She felt a bit annoyed, but she could only hold it in since she was the weakest among the six great leaders. Her Heavenly Melody Pavilion wasn't known for its fighting prowess. They were skilled in Array Formation Making, Weapon Crafting, and Alchemy. In the fight against the Infernals, they would play the role of support.
"Sect Mistress Ai Chen, after this war, I hope you would allow me to enter the gates of your Heavenly Melody Pavilion." A middle-aged man said as he looked at Ai Chen's perfect figure. Her thin white robes stuck closely to her body, exposing a bit of her slim waist and plump bosom.
Many leaders from strong factions showed great interest in her. There were only a few women who could rival Ai Chen's beauty and achievements!
Ai Chen felt uncomfortable when she sensed the gazes of the leaders, but she could only endure it helplessly. "The doors of my Heavenly Melody Pavilion are always open to our friends!" Her voice was reminiscent of the chiming of divine bells, soothing and filled with allure.
Suddenly, a calm voice interrupted everyone's passion. "Miss Ai Chen, can I take some of your time?"
Everyone turned their gazes in the same direction. Who was daring enough to snatch the prey from multiple peak experts?
When they saw the face of the man, their eyes narrowed.
Jiu Shen. They have heard of his name from the mouths of the six great leaders. He was the owner of the Immortal's Wine Store, a mysterious wine store in the desert region. He also shared a friendship with the strongest man alive!
Looking at him, the faces of the leaders drastically changed. They couldn't offend this man for a mere woman, so they chose to step back.
Ai Chen was relieved when he heard the familiar voice. She couldn't forget it. They just met some time ago, but she felt as if they had known each other for a long time. 'He shares the same name with my sword teacher...' She thought to herself as he recalled a peerless figure from her deepest memory. His sword teachings were deeply imprinted in her heart.
She stared at the handsome face with a smile filled with gratitude. "Wine Master Jiu Shen! Of course!" Ai Chen said as she followed him.
The leaders could only stare at the pair in jealousy. They shook their heads in regret.
"Too bad! The enemy is someone we can't afford to provoke."
"It doesn't matter. Maybe he'll die in the coming war..." Someone snickered in a spiteful voice.
Ai Chen stared at Jiu Shen's side profile. She wondered why this man was looking for her.
Jiu Shen abruptly stopped and turned his gaze towards the stunned Ai Chen. "Miss Ai Chen, I won't beat around the bush, I need the help of your Heavenly Melody Pavilion to set up Array Formations near the entrance."
Hearing this, Ai Chen felt it was incredulous. He knows where the entrance is?
The entrance of Hell appears in random locations, so pinpointing the exact coordinates of the entrance was impossible. Unless Asmodeus was present to help them!
'Could it be that Celestial Emperor Asmodeus is here?' Ai Chen felt excited at the thought of it. He was the man she revered the most other than her sword teacher. Asmodeus was the only Celestial-rank Array Formation Maker in the Primordial God Realm!
Ai Chen cleared her thoughts. It wasn't the best time to think about other things. She stared at Jiu Shen and answered. "Alright. Just tell me the coordinates of the entrance and I will my people set up the Array Formations immediately."
Jiu Shen smiled upon hearing this. "Great! Follow me, Miss Ai Chen. I'll bring you there personally. The entrance of Hell will open soon, so I will have my Heavenly Sword Tower guard your subordinates."
Heavenly Sword Tower.
'Oh, right! He was also the Sect Master of a hidden sect!' She wondered how strong Jiu Shen's subordinates were.
"Then please lead the way, Wine Master Jiu Shen!" She said with a look of anticipation.
Jiu Shen nodded and led her to the coordinates mentioned by Asmodeus. The location wasn't far from Hard Rock City.
"It should be around here." Jiu Shen said. He could sense a strong disturbance in this area. He believed that this was related to the emergence of the entrance.
