The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 301 Regret
Under the lead of Hu Xiandao, the disciples grimly waited for the group of Crimson Sun Sect to arrive. Although they were feeling nervous, they held their swords tightly as they tried to calm themselves.
“Older Hestia, it seems like the children will not be able to kill anyone ..” Hu Xiandao muttered softly when he saw everyone's reaction. He was against this idea because he was a little worried about the outcome, but since they had already gotten to this point, there was no way to go back again.
Hestia smiled sweetly upon hearing his words. “Chairman Hu, you underestimated them too much. They might feel anxious now, but with their cultivation level, it would not be a problem to kill some weaker elders and disciples of the Red Sun Sect.”
He might be a little disappointed with their new batch of disciples, but he still believed that they could accomplish this task. As for where his confidence came from, it was due to the presence of the stronger disciples they brought along.
Hearing that, Hu Xiandao could only sigh in his heart. He silently prayed that nothing would go wrong. He then told the elders to prepare for the worst.

“Older Shao, who do you think might kill the young master? From what I can remember, he was secretly protected by two powerful elders, so his death did not seem simple. None of the people who came with him even came back. That means they were all also killed along with the young master.” A middle-aged man with short hair asked. His name was Di Xuan, an elder from the Red Sun Sect with a cultivation level at the peak stage of the 8th rank heavenly realm. He was one of the strongest elders in the Red Sun Sect!
The old man named Elder Shao frowned as he replied. “The young master was looking for that runaway servant and it was also reported by our scouts that he was last seen in the Silver Wing Empire. According to the scouts, the young master saw the servant girl in the Heavenly Sword Tower. Our investigation will also start from there.”
After hearing the name of the sect, the middle-aged Di Xuan was a little surprised. “Heavenly Sword Tower? The sect founded by a man named Jiu Shen? Then, if they were related to the death of the young master, this matter would probably be troublesome.”
Elder Shao nodded in agreement. He also cursed Jimen Kang in his heart for his stupidity. He actually killed himself for the sake of a servant girl, he was a complete idiot! If not for Jimen Kang's identity as the young master of the Red Sun Sect, Elder Shao would have remained within their sect to cultivate…
‘Even my son Shao Fenhua died under the hands of the people of Jiu Shen. If that idiot Jimen Kang had provoked the Heavenly Sword Tower, then the Red Sun Sect.’ Suddenly, Elder Shao felt a chill in his heart. He then looked at Di Xuan and whispered to him.
“Older Di, I have a bad feeling about this task. You should leave the sect with me. That idiot Jimen Kang might have provoked the Heavenly Sword Tower. We will only be killed if we remain in the sect. You know her temperament.it's Jimen Kanding. He would definitely order the entire sect to take revenge for his son. We still have a chance to live if we escape now.”
Di Xuan's eyes widened when he heard his words. Elder Shao was actually thinking of escaping from the sect? However, as Elder Shao mentioned that, he also felt nervous. After all, Jimen Kang's death was probably related to the Heavenly Sword Tower. Although he had never seen Jiu Shen, he had heard many stories about him. The rumors even made him admire the man. No one wanted to have an enemy like Jiu Shen…
When Elder Shao saw the doubt in Di Xuan's eyes, he said in a serious tone. “Older Di, did you forget how that Jimen Kanding unfairly distributed some of our precious resources to that idiot Jimen Kanding? That cultivation resource should be used for your breakthrough to Saint realm rank 9! Do you really want to do it? help a fool like that? If your brain is still a little, then come with me. We must return to the sect and get talented disciples who are dissatisfied with Jimen Kanding.”
Di Xuan gritted his teeth and nodded his head earnestly. ‘Older Shao is right! I had enough of the way Jimen Kanding handled this sect!’
“Alright, I will follow you, Elder Shao, but where are we going?” He asked in a serious tone.
Elder Shao knit his brows as he pondered deeply. He then replied after a few seconds. His voice was full of regret. “We will remain hidden for several years to prevent the Heavenly Sword Tower from finding us.”
“You mean... Okay. Huh.” Di Xuan's eyes widened, but he immediately nodded his head with a heavy expression. He did not want to betray the sect he grew up in, but he was also tired of the tyranny of Jimen Kanding.
After getting Di Xuan's answer, Elder Shao glanced at the Elder who was leading the investigation group and walked towards him.
This Grand Elder Jimen was the Grand Elder of the Crimson Sun Sect and he was also the father of the current Sect Master Jimen Kanding and the grandfather of the deceased Jimen Kang. His name was Jimen Kai, an old man with unfathomable strength.
Grand Elder Jimen did not turn his head as he replied in a sad voice. “Shao Fenji, is this your last decision? Do you really want to leave this sect?”
Elder Shao's heart almost jumped out of his chest after hearing the old man's words. He had actually heard his secret conversation with Di Xuan! He was certain that he had covered their conversation with his true essence, but Grand Elder Jimen still heard them!
“It..”.
Grand Elder Jimen shook his head with a faint smile as he said. “You don't have to explain yourself. I know what my son has done to you over the years, but I choose to turn a blind eye to him. I even failed to educate my grandson. Take this with you on the journey.”.
Elder Shao subconsciously picked up the book that was handed to him. When he recovered from his shock, he was stunned again when he saw the book in his hand. “This is the core cultivation technique of the Red Sun Sect! Grand Elder Jimen.
The hunched old man raised his skinny arm and shook his head. “Just leave before it's too late.” He had already sensed a group of enemies hiding several hundred meters from their location. If his guess was correct, those people might be there for them.
Elder Shao took a deep breath before he nodded his head. “Grand Elder Jimen, thank you for your understanding. If we escape alive, I will establish a new sect together with Di Xuan. Goodbye to.”
He walked away without turning around after saying goodbye. He knew that this would be his last meeting with the old geezer and although he felt his heart ache, there was nothing more that could be done. They had made enemies with the Heavenly Sword Tower and he knew that the great elder would never escape from the sect.
With a heavy heart, Elder Shao nodded at Elder Di. “Come go! Grand Elder has allowed us to return!”
Seeing his dark complexion, Di Xuan immediately nodded his head. He had no idea how Elder Shao had convinced the old man. ‘I'll ask him later ..’
After that, the two of them left with some disciples.
Grand Elder Jimen glanced at the figures of those who left with regretful expressions. “Thinking that such talented people were forced to leave the sect because of my son's foolish actions. No. gabe. It's partly my fault for not disciplining her well. Sigh.”
The old grandfather seemed to have aged for several years by then. He regretted having spoiled his son many years ago…
“Huh. This old man is too old. I can only do this much to repent for what I have done. Shao Fenji, I leave everything in your hands.” The grandfather muttered to himself as he led the remaining elders and disciples of the Red Sun Sect.

“Elder Hestia, some of them go. Do you want me to chase them?” Hu Xiandao asked Hestia.
“No need for it.” Hestia shook her head in response.
