After dealing with the troublesome matters of the sect, Jiu Shen was finally back in the sect master's room. He sat on a chair and pondered about what he should do next, but then...
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for earning a sufficient amount of True Crystals in your first store! You have reached the required amount of earnings to open up a second branch!"
Loading second branch location... Host, please wait.
After hearing the system's voice in his head, Jiu Shen was taken aback. "A second branch?" He muttered in confusion.
Location finalized. The second branch of the host's wine store will be located in the Crimson Fiend Continent! The host will be teleported to a random city in the Crimson Fiend Continent in 10 minutes!

Looking at the timer that suddenly appeared in front of him, Jiu Shen immediately stood up. He had already set up the foundations of his Heavenly Sword Tower and it should have no problem working on its own even without him. However, he had to inform his subordinates that he would be gone or else they might be worried. Thinking about that, Jiu Shen immediately summoned all the newly appointed division heads and asked them to come to the sect master's room in less than three minutes.
Three minutes later, the division heads were already standing before Jiu Shen. They were wondering what Jiu Shen had called them for.
After seeing that everyone has arrived, Jiu Shen immediately spoke. "I will go to the Crimson Fiend Continent to open a new branch of wine store. I don't have time to explain this to you guys, but there is no need to worry."
After hearing that Jiu Shen wanted to go to the Crimson Fiend Continent to open a new branch of wine store, everyone inside the room became agitated. That place was the home of countless demons! A place where evil creatures roam about! Why would their sect master decide to open a branch of a wine store in that kind of place?
"This... Sect Master..."
Jiu Shen raised his hand and prevent them from speaking as he added. "Again, I don't have time to explain this to you. I might be gone for a longer time, but I will come back once in a while to check on everyone's progress. Ren Shuang, you made a mistake last time, but I will give you one more chance to prove that you are capable. Don't let anything like this happen again while I am away."
Ren Shuang nodded his head solemnly and said. "Yes, master!"

Jiu Shen suddenly disappeared in front of Ren Shuang and the others, making them slightly surprised. They did not see Jiu Shen controlling the element of space, so they were slightly perplexed at his disappearance.
"Everyone, go back to your stations and make sure that everything in the sect will be in place. Division Head Yang Zenke, as the division head of the Blood Sword Division, follow me to the Crimson Sun Sect. The sect master has tasked us to finish this matter with them." Ren Shuang said to them.
***
In a city filled with the stench of blood and filth, a person suddenly appeared.
Jiu Shen glanced around him with a calm look. In front of him was a city with stone houses and buildings. Although it wasn't as pleasing as Beltran City, it was not that bad. The only thing that made Jiu Shen frown was the smell of blood lingering in the air.
"So this is the Crimson Fiend Continent..." He muttered to himself.
"Look! Isn't that guy a human?!"
"Indeed! That kid looks delicious! He's mine!"
"No way! I saw him first!"
The loud voices of demons interrupted Jiu Shen's train of thoughts. He glanced at the demons with an expressionless face and a trace of disdain flickered in his gaze. "The demons are indeed stronger than the other races. Even the normal mobs here are at least at the 5th-rank Spirit realm." Jiu Shen said as he casually evaded the demons who had pounced towards him. They could not even touch the hem of his clothes!
"Shit! This guy seems to be an expert of the Rebel Army! Call the city guards! We are not his opponent!"
"Run!"
How could Jiu Shen let them escape? It would be troublesome if more demons came to create trouble for him. With a wave of his hand, Jiu Shen created hundreds of fire arrows before sending them towards the demons.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
The demons who were only at the 5th-rank Spirit realm and below could not even evade the flame arrows. In less than a few seconds, all of them looked like burning porcupines.
Jiu Shen also blocked the space around the area to prevent anyone else from seeing or hearing everything that was happening here.
Howls of despair resounded for a few seconds before it vanished without a trace. Upon closer inspection, not even an ash remained of those demons! They were burned into nothingness by those flame arrows!
"I did not plan to kill you guys, but why did you just have to act like that..."
Ding!
"Host, please search for an appropriate place to construct the second branch of the wine store!" The system's voice once again resounded inside his head.
"Alright." Jiu Shen nodded his head and immediately went to look for a suitable location for the second branch of his wine store. He was also looking forward to the future of this branch here in the Crimson Fiend Continent.
It was nighttime, and the demons did not notice that a human had actually snuck inside their city.
Jiu Shen walked around the city without even bothering to disguise himself. He only masked his presence to prevent the demons from discovering him. Only those at the 9th-rank Saint would be able to see Jiu Shen at this moment. However, are 9th-rank Saints a lot in this city? Well, yes, but none of them were outside the street, so no one even noticed Jiu Shen.
