Chapter 2017: with translation of chapter title

This person was just casually watching the street scene, then got knocked unconscious by a magical artifact.

In the end, there was only one distinguished guest.

What? Only one distinguished guest?

Having witnessed the whole procedure of this person from Prison Immortal Town, the others nearby were completely bewildered—no one had said they wanted to enter the shop.

But just as those few were stunned, the gaze of the Prison Immortal Town person fell upon them, and he immediately broke into a grin.

Are you all together?

Huh??

Facing such an intense stare, several people felt their hearts tighten and, without thinking, shook their heads repeatedly.

No... no, we don't know each other, we don't know each other.

Exactly, we're just passing through, we're leaving now.

As they spoke and tried to leave, the people from Prison Immortal Town moved even faster, with several others surrounding them, smiling as they spoke.

Not together, then how many distinguished guests are there?

I... we don't want to eat...

Five distinguished guests.

Everyone was dumbfounded, yet these few still forced themselves to explain, insisting they really don't eat.

Moreover, with you acting like this, who would dare to enter the shop? This might be a black shop.

In the past, whenever any dispute arose and escalated beyond resolution, the city lord's office always stepped in to settle it.

In the past, whenever any dispute arose and escalated to the point of no resolution, it was always the lord's manor that stepped in to settle it.

No, just now this group was brought by the old steward of the city lord's mansion—has the city lord's mansion colluded with them?

No, these people were just brought by the old steward of the lord's manor; is the lord's manor colluding with them?

Even doing such shady deeds? They went ahead and did it, without even trying to hide it?

But those few could no longer think about these questions, because before they could finish speaking, a magical artifact struck them, and everything went black as they lost consciousness.

But several people could no longer think about these issues, because before they could finish speaking, the magical implements struck them, and then their vision went dark, and several people lost consciousness.

In a moment, the many cultivators who had been standing outside the hall watching were enthusiastically carried into the hall, and the shop instantly became lively.

Hurry up and leave, this is a black shop.

These people are crazy.

Seeing this situation, the remaining people dared not linger any longer—the excitement had turned on them, which was unbearable.

Immediately they wanted to turn and leave, but shortly after, a formation light curtain rose above the surrounding streets.

As soon as the formation's light curtain appeared, everyone was dumbfounded, staring in shock—these guys are truly lawless, daring to even use a formation.

As soon as the formation's light curtain appeared, everyone was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed; these guys are truly lawless, daring to even use a damn formation.

It's hard to imagine; if this were elsewhere, how bold would this gang of thieves have to be?

It's hard to imagine; if this were elsewhere, just how bold would this gang of thieves have to be?

The formation has no offensive power; it's purely a trapping formation that prevents everyone from leaving.

The formation had no offensive power; it was purely a trapping formation, confining everyone and preventing them from leaving.

Watching one after another of these lawless wielders of magical artifacts approach, those who had seen the previous incident already had experience.

Seeing the outlaws wielding magical implements approach one by one, those who had witnessed the previous lesson now had experience.

Before the implement could fall, they hastily spoke up.

Please, sir.

They realized this gang of thieves was suspicious.

If they were just low-level cultivators, it wouldn't be a big deal, but just now they clearly saw that even a cultivator at the Earth Immortal realm was knocked unconscious with a single blow without any hesitation.

If it were just some low-level cultivators, it wouldn't be a big deal, but just now they clearly saw that even an Immortal Emperor Realm cultivator was knocked unconscious with a single blow without any discussion.

Don't think that in the immortal realm, Earth Immortal cultivators are many and Heavenly Immortal cultivators are commonplace.

Basically, only major immortal sects and clans have Earth Immortal experts presiding; when traveling outside, a Heavenly Immortal is already considered a formidable power.

Basically, only major immortal sects and the immortal clans have Immortal Emperor Realm experts holding down the fort; when traveling abroad, even an Immortal King Realm cultivator counts as a regional powerhouse.

Yet even so, before this gang of outlaws, they couldn't last a single round, being knocked unconscious before they could finish speaking.

"I am..............."

That's the procedure—yet that's a Heavenly Immortal we're talking about.

With guests arriving, the back kitchen naturally became busy; Ye Changqing, bustling at the stove, couldn't help but sigh.

Li Chengshan and his group really have a way—just after saying that, so many customers have already come in; could it be a batch?

Li Chengshan and them really have a way; they've only just spoken for a while, and already so many customers have come in—could it be that they came in a batch?

The back kitchen was busy cooking, with no time to attend to the front hall; meanwhile, in the front hall, each customer who entered the shop, after slowly waking up, also wore a complex expression.

The back kitchen was busy cooking, with no time to attend to the front hall; meanwhile, in the front hall, as each customer entering the shop slowly woke up, they also wore complex expressions.

Their eyes held anger, apprehension, and even more fear; it was dark, truly dark this shop.

Moreover, it was that kind of lawless darkness; does the lord's manor not care?

No, the lord's manor is in league with this gang of thieves.

As people gradually woke up one after another, the Prison Immortal Town folks served each person a meal, letting them eat.

Just as people were waking up one after another, the folks of Prison Immortal Town also served up meals, letting everyone eat.

They even gave them a meal before taking action? Could it be that they intend to sell this bowl of food at an exorbitant price, hoping to find some excuse later?

They even gave a meal before the attack? Could it be that they intend to sell this bowl of food at an exorbitant price, hoping to find some excuse later?

That dinner price is absolutely astronomical!

But now, we are the meat on the chopping block while they are the knife; many cultivators have genuinely been frightened.

So even if they guessed that this seemingly ordinary bowl of food definitely had a big problem, they still had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.

If they ate it, they might be swindled out of money and treasures; if they didn't eat it, they might be dragged to the backyard the next second to be skinned and have their tendons pulled.

They resigned themselves to it—who would have thought that inside the grand Four Directions Immortal City there would be such a black shop? It's utterly unjust.

Many cultivators had already resigned themselves to fate, but after taking just a bite, they froze, dazed.

The taste of this meal............

Immediately, all their previous worries and thoughts were thrown to the clouds beyond the heavens; only the sound of eating remained in the hall.

The deliciousness of this bowl of food was simply perfect; they swore they had never eaten anything so tasty.

Before they knew it, a bowl of rice was finished, yet the cultivators still looked as if they hadn't had enough.

Refreshing, truly refreshing—this meal's taste and effects are flawless, even better than the food from Cooking King Immortal City.

The resentment in their hearts dissipated somewhat because of the delicious food, and even a few people secretly thought.

These bandits aren't completely devoid of humanity either; at least they really gave you something good to eat, so even if they robbed you, it would seem acceptable.

"How much?"

Someone couldn't help but speak up, asking nervously; upon hearing this, the Prison Immortal Town person before them smiled and raised a finger.

"What? One hundred million immortal crystals?"

"No, it's................"

"Ten million?"

"No................"

"One million? I tell you, although your food tastes good, you're using ordinary demon beast ingredients; selling this meal for one million immortal crystals—isn't that a bit too black?"

"Never mind—I only have seventy-eight thousand immortal crystals on me; take it if you want, if not, do whatever you like, I don't care."

"It's one immortal crystal."

"No, not even one—I'd rather................ What? How much did you say?"

Hearing this, that cultivator froze outright, giving the Prison Immortal Town person a look as if seeing a ghost—just how many immortal crystals did this guy just say?
