Chapter 169: Aren't These the Gourmet Shop's Customers? How Are They This Fierce?

Inside the membership group chat.

Yue Buqun: "Good lord, this mission — there's no way I can accept it!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "This old Daoist tried, and it told me my strength is insufficient — please form a party!"

Abbot Xuan Ci: "Amitabha, this old monk is the same. But after reading the mission details, this old monk truly cannot win either!"

Ning Caichen: "The mission requires sweeping them clean — millions of demonic beasts. Even if I fought till I died, I couldn't finish them all!"

Xiao Yan: "Tsk tsk, the numbers are too great. I'm in trouble here too!"

Luo Shiyi: "This mission — I could give it a try!"

Rock Lee: "Forgot you're a newcomer who's already had your strength boosted in advance!"

Lin Dong: "This mission — my strength isn't enough either!"

Great Ming War God: "Although I've started cultivating, I still need to form a party!"

Stark: "Mm-hmm, exactly. With such an enormous number, I doubt anyone can do it solo!"

Great Qin Shi Huang: "This is the immortal's first mission for us — let's complete it as soon as possible!"

Inside the membership group chat, after receiving the mission information, everyone was now preparing to take action.

This grand move by the immortal did give everyone a hint of tension.

After all, once the gourmet shop upgraded, a new membership system had been opened.

And this time, the reward for the membership mission wasn't any item — it was membership points!

This inevitably stirred a hint of worry in the hearts of Stark, Ying Zheng, and Zhu Qizhen.

Perhaps, after this upgrade, their status as tycoons was about to change.

At the thought of this, Stark couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency!

Stark: "@Great Qin Shi Huang @Great Ming War God @Luo Shiyi, the three of you — would you be willing to party up? When we complete the mission, we'll split the reward evenly!"

Right off the bat, Stark went straight for the three strongest members currently in the group.

Ying Zheng and Zhu Qizhen had both drunk the black rice wine brew, transforming from mortal bodies into immortal bodies.

And Luo Shiyi, though a newcomer, was no pushover in terms of strength.

Yue Buqun: "Well, Stark's way of doing things — I'm jealous!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Mm-hmm, exactly. With things like this, we can only quietly watch from the sidelines!"

Abbot Xuan Ci: "Amitabha, forget it. This old monk and the rest of us will just sit this one out!"

Xiao Yan: "Good lord, the tycoons in the group have teamed up!"

Lin Dong: "Sigh, what can we do — we're newcomers, our strength isn't enough!"

Ning Caichen: "Pfft, as if saying that makes it sound like an old-timer like me has enough strength!"

Rock Lee: "Mm-hmm, exactly. Still not enough!"

Zhou Weiqing: "Alright, I can only envy watching you all show off."

Wang Dadong: "Same for all of us — we can only quietly watch."

Inside the membership group chat, the rest of the members watched as the four strongest in the group had joined forces, and one after another felt envious.

Regarding this, they didn't really say anything.

After all, this mission clearly wasn't simple. Their strength wasn't enough — they couldn't exactly expect others to carry them by force.

Even if Stark and Ying Zheng were willing to bring them along!

Xiao Yan and the rest wouldn't have the nerve to freeload the victory either!

Inside the membership group chat at this moment.

With Ying Zheng, Stark, Zhu Qizhen, and Luo Shiyi forming a party.

The next instant, within the vast chat group, a notification sound suddenly rang out.

"Beep. Members Great Qin Shi Huang, Stark, Luo Shiyi, and Great Ming War God have accepted the random membership mission."

The system's mechanical voice rang out. Then, before the four of them, space twisted, and a void passage appeared before each.

The four glanced at the void passages before them and stepped straight in.

In an instant, the four of them blacked out. Accompanied by a swirl of stars, they arrived in the underground city of Tianlu City in the blink of an eye.

"Phew, the air here is so thick!"

The moment they arrived, Luo Shiyi took only a single breath before his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"So this is the underground city?"

Stark, Zhu Qizhen, and the others beside him began surveying their surroundings.

Within just a short while of arriving, they sensed countless pairs of eyes hidden in the dark, staring at them fixedly.

"Let's get started — finish this place up as quickly as possible!"

With the information provided by the membership group, Ying Zheng and the other three had a very clear picture of the underground city's layout.

The four of them quickly divided up the work and set off to sweep clean in four different directions.

First clear the outer perimeter, then push toward the central area.

If anything dangerous comes up, they could call out in the group.

With the plan set, the four exchanged a glance, then their figures moved and scattered in four directions.

"Boom... boom..."

In barely half a moment's time, Zhu Qizhen was the first to strike. Immortal energy surged within his body, transforming in his hands into towering flames that blasted straight down toward the grotesque creatures below.

In just an instant, vast swathes of flames rose up, burning everything below to ash.

Although he didn't have a cultivation technique like Ying Zheng's, he had the fire enchantment effect from the braised chicken.

Killing the grotesque creatures now was no slower for it.

On the other side, Luo Shiyi was even more straightforward.

The power of the Immortal Realm radiated outward, his long sword slashing continuously.

Each brilliant blade light stretched hundreds of meters, slaughtering all the strange creatures.

Although the two had not received as many opportunities as Stark and Seeing Ying Zheng.

Yet at this moment, their attacks were extraordinary.

Instead, trouble arose on Ying Zheng's side.

As he pushed forward relentlessly, Seeing Ying Zheng sensed a spatial rift.

On the other side of the rift, a terrifyingly potent aura was surging.

Merely sensing it slightly, Seeing Ying Zheng felt a faint pang of unease.

And at the same time, on the other side of the rift,

There lay piles of skeletal bones stacked like mountains; at the center of the scattered bones, a colossal skeletal figure sat upon the Wang Zuo.

Infinite strange aura emanated from its corpse.

Merely the spreading strange aura corrupted everything around it.

Yet this terrifying being now had its eyes slightly closed.

Through its chest pierced a sharp sword, pinning it firmly to the Wang Zuo.

The imprisoned skeletal figure, sensing Seeing Ying Zheng's gaze, suddenly flashed a glimmer of light in its eyes.

The glimmer surged forth, instantly striking Seeing Ying Zheng on the other side of the rift.

"Boom!"

Sensing the danger, Seeing Ying Zheng surged his immortal energy and struck out with a palm.

The incoming glimmer shattered instantly.

When all had dissipated, the original spatial rift had vanished without a trace.

Feeling the force of that blow, Seeing Ying Zheng's expression became solemn.

"It seems this underground city is no simple place!"

Speaking aloud, Seeing Ying Zheng cast one more glance, then ignored it entirely.

At this moment, completing the food shop's mission and enhancing his strength came first.

Thinking this, the four pushed further toward the core of the underground city.

While the four were sweeping through the strange lands, inside the other human steel fortress,

Just moments after raising Yang Xue and Jiang He to the Faithful realm,

Ling Shuangxue and Huang Shaotian received word that someone was clearing out the underground city.

At first, both were delighted—until they saw the images sent back, then they froze.

These… aren't these customers from the food shop?

How incredibly powerful are they?
