Chapter 1322

After being reminded by Ye Zhangqing, the two spirit chefs finally forced themselves to calm down, but the uneasy look in their eyes still remained.

The two are genuinely afraid; if they were discovered halfway, Ye Zhangqing and Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan brothers might be fine, but they would surely die.

Spirit chefs aren't irreplaceable; if the Viper kills them, finding two new spirit chefs later would be just the same.

Once the food was ready, the space pirates naturally lined up early outside the kitchen.

Because the two spirit chefs looked really tense, Ye Zhangqing had Li Tie Niu and Li Tie Dan brothers take charge of serving the food.

The two brothers' mindset was better than that of the two spirit chefs.

The many space pirates indeed didn't notice anything unusual about the two brothers; each of them focused on the food.

After finally waiting until Fàn diǎn, what else would they be thinking about if not digging in?

Having gotten their food, the space pirates each squatted outside the kitchen and started eating.

As for the Viper's tables, Ye Zhangqing had also prepared them.

Dishes were served one by one; the Viper, Li Xue, the various leaders, and the elders of the Blood King Palace took their seats in turn.

For the first time eating Ye Zhangqing's food, Li Xue and the Blood King Palace elders were still relatively calm.

But the Viper and the various leaders had long been unable to hold back.

As the dishes were served, the Viper smiled and said to Li Xue.

Brother Li Xue, don't stand on ceremony, dig in.

Haha, then I won't stand on ceremony.

Upon taking a bite, Li Xue's eyes widened instantly; this taste was truly beyond imagination.

Originally, the Viper kept saying how good Ye Zhangqing's cooking was, but Li Xue had still snorted in disbelief.

He thought, 'You've praised him to the heavens and earth, as supreme as it gets—could it really be that exaggerated? Is there really such an outrageous spirit chef in this world?'

But after actually taking a bite, Li Xue found that the Viper hadn't exaggerated at all.

It was even somewhat conservative, or rather, Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì is really hard to praise with any words.

In short, the simplest two words to describe it are: delicious.

Nobody noticed any problem; everyone was busy eating heartily.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing also breathed a sigh of relief; next was just waiting.

The Viper and his group ate while drinking, while the other space pirates, after finishing their meal, gathered around the kitchen in small groups to chat idly.

This had become a habit; after each meal, the many space pirates weren't in a hurry to leave, first chatting a while.

Time ticked away second by second; half a Shíchén passed quickly.

The many space pirates, as well as the Blood King Palace elders, including the Viper and Li Xue.

They only felt their heads starting to feel a bit dizzy, their eyelids growing heavier, which was quite strange.

Before they could think much more, they collapsed one after another, completely losing consciousness.

Ye Zhangqing carefully checked and found no one left behind; he then quickly called upon the prepared Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan brothers, and the two spirit chefs, and they swiftly left the kitchen.

Hurry up.

The Viper and Li Xue are both Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivators; the drug's effect lasts only one Shíchén.

In that one Shíchén, Ye Zhangqing must get as far away from the Blood King Palace as possible, then quickly enter the territories of the other two major powers, and finally find a chance to leave the Tianwu Realm.

This way, the Viper would find it not so easy to locate him.

The four, led by Ye Zhangqing, headed straight for the Blood King Palace's Shanmen.

Along the way, they naturally encountered many Blood King Palace disciples; upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, some who knew his identity would also greet him proactively.

Boss Ye.

Hmm.

And Ye Zhangqing likewise responded with a smile and a nod, as usual.

Behind them, Li Tie Niu and Li Tie Dan brothers behaved as usual; only the two spirit chefs kept their heads down, not daring to meet anyone's gaze, fearful of giving something away.

Fortunately, this route went relatively smoothly, with no trouble reaching the Shanmen.

At the Shanmen, there were naturally Blood King Palace disciples on guard; seeing Ye Zhangqing, two disciples stepped forward and asked.

Who goes there?

Sirs, we are men of the Viper boss.

What, you want to leave the palace?

Yes, the Viper boss sent us out to purchase some supplies; we need to leave.

Ye Zhangqing had already prepared his excuse; upon hearing this, the two Blood King Palace disciples didn't think much, nodded, and let Ye Zhangqing's party leave the palace.

Hmm, go ahead.

Leaving the palace isn't strictly checked, after all this isn't some Forbidden Land or treasury.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing and his group are men of the Viper; inside the Blood King Palace, aside from a few restricted areas, elsewhere there are no restrictions.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing smiled, thanked them, and then led the four out of the Blood King Palace.

Upon leaving the Blood King Palace, the five finally truly breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially the two spirit chefs, whose hearts had been suspended, finally let down a bit.

Just now on this journey, they both felt their hearts about to jump out, thumping wildly.

They were afraid that if discovered, they would really be done for.

Given the space pirates' brutality, if discovered, would those two even have a chance to survive?

But fortunately, they managed to escape.

Hurry up.

However, Ye Zhangqing knows that now is not the time to relax; merely leaving the Blood King Palace simply is not enough.

In one Shíchén, the farther they went, the safer they were, and the more likely they could reach the territories of the other two major forces.

Otherwise, once trapped on Blood King Palace's territory, being found would only be a matter of time.

Not daring to stay, the five immediately rushed forward at top speed.

Inside Blood King Palace, no one had noticed anything abnormal; those Blood King Palace disciples simply had no idea about this.

And after one Shíchén, the unconscious Viper and the others, Viper blearily opened his eyes.

He only felt his head a bit heavy, gave a slight shake, and muttered.

"How weird, how strange—I suddenly lost consciousness."

"Wait, no—my Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation, how could I possibly faint for no reason? This............"

Viper quickly noticed the problem, his gaze unconsciously turning to the food on the table.

At that moment, Li Xue beside him also woke up, looking at Viper with suspicion.

"Brother Viper, your Ye brother's cooking is really good—this food is still so potent."

Ye Zhangqing???

Hearing Li Xue's words, Viper's face instantly darkened, and he grimly sprang to his feet.

Is there something wrong with the food? Did Ye Zhangqing tamper with it?

He quickly formed a suspicion, his teeth grinding; Viper seemed to have guessed something, and seeing his sudden action, Li Xue strangely asked.

"Brother Viper, what's wrong with you, being all jumpy."

"Something big has happened."

Viper gritted his teeth, threw down a sentence, and immediately ran to the kitchen; the chill in his eyes was almost substantive, and his heart was in turmoil.
