Chapter 2194: with translation of chapter title

Ye Zhangqing - original Evergreen Leaf

He Fu - original He Fu

He Fu's words immediately gained the echoing support of everyone present, and all expressed willingness to follow his command.

Dao One Immortal Sect - original Dao One Immortal Sect

Xiūliàn - original Cultivation

Hearing the people's words, He Fu nodded in satisfaction; perhaps this could still leave a sliver of hope.

Don't look down on Cuiyun Ju just being a tavern; its strength is actually far greater than Zhao Guai zi's so-called Hundred Beasts Gang.

Hundred Beasts Group - original Hundred Beasts Group

Extreme Joy Palace - original Extreme Joy Palace

Extreme Joy Palace Master - original Extreme Joy Palace Master

Immortal King Realm - original Immortal King Realm

Immortal King Realm Great Accomplishment - original Immortal King Realm Great Accomplishment

"Now that the Dao One Immortal Sect people have come, and yesterday the Extreme Joy Palace Master actively handed over people, everything seems strange; for now, we definitely cannot escape by hiding, we should...................."

Immortal Crystals - original Immortal Crystals

However, just as He Fu was speaking, the Formation sealing the secret room was forcibly blasted open with a muffled bang.

Without the Formation's protection, the secret room's door was also kicked open, and then a group of Dao One Immortal Sect disciples led by Zhao He ping filed in, immediately taking control of the situation.

Right after that, a light laugh sounded.

Everyone's here, that's good—saves me having to seek you out one by one.

Accompanying the voice, Ye Zhangqing entered the secret room, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on He Fu.

After all, he is the highest cultivator present, a perfected Immortal King realm, on par with Zhang Heping.

Of course, though their cultivation realms are the same, He Fu is no match for Zhang Heping in a fight.

Thus, under Zhang Heping's wary gaze, He Fu wisely chose not to act.

He first exchanged a glance with Ye Zhangqing for a moment, then the next second put on an enthusiastic smile and stepped forward to salute.

"I am He Fu, shopkeeper of Cuiyun Residence; I greet the upper sect."

He lowered his posture greatly, but Ye Zhangqing obviously wasn't buying it, coldly saying.

"Shopkeeper He, what do you mean? A few days ago you weren't like this."

"The upper sect has a misunderstanding; earlier the city was in chaos, and the upper sect delayed taking up residence; seeing the situation grow more chaotic, I, too, was pushed by everyone to step forward, temporarily maintaining order, awaiting the upper sect's arrival."

"Now that the lord has come, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

He Fu's words directly whitewashed himself, everything for the greater good.

But Ye Zhangqing, however, his smile didn't diminish.

"Then I still have to thank Shopkeeper He?"

"I dare not; to serve the upper sect is my honor."

"Hehe, that's well said, but how do we account for those 198 lives? And those hundreds of thousands of immortal crystals? And..."

As Ye Zhangqing listed He Fu's recent deeds one by one.

With each item, He Fu's face grew worse; it was obvious Ye Zhangqing had investigated beforehand, almost having figured them out completely.

He had only entered the city yesterday, yet today he had investigated everything to a large extent.

He Fu, head lowered, his eyes inscrutable; with such words, wanting to retreat unscathed is...

Ye Zhangqing clearly came to confront and question; He Fu knew this well; if he wanted to survive now, he could only go all out.

But before he could decide, Ye Zhangqing spoke first again.

"Take him down."

As Ye Zhangqing spoke, Zhang Heping and the other disciples naturally acted first, moving to seize him.

Facing Zhang Heping and the disciples, the crowd certainly wouldn't surrender meekly.

Immediately the two sides fell into a melee.

However, those Ye Zhangqing brought this time are truly the elite disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Not only is their cultivation not weak, their combat strength is far superior to that rabble.

Their foundation is incomparable, let alone their Xiūliàn techniques and arts.

So, just after a single exchange, the disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect completely gained the upper hand, firmly controlling the situation.

In response, He Fu also gritted his teeth and said.

"Upper sect, you're being indiscriminate; this isn't something you can just say, right?"

"Not distinguishing right from wrong? So what?"

Ye Zhangqing replied indifferently in a calm voice; seeing that, He Fu didn't retort but suddenly erupted without warning.

At this point, saying anything is useless; first take down this kid, then talk.

Capturing him could make the Dao One Immortal Sect hesitate, possibly buying a way out.

Moreover, this kid is only at the Great Accomplishment of the Immortal King realm, while I am at Perfection, one minor realm higher, so I have the advantage and can win.

He Fu cares nothing else; he only wants to take down Ye Zhangqing.

For this he doesn't even mind launching a sneak attack; facing He Fu's sudden eruption, Ye Zhangqing's eyes showed no panic.

A one-minor-realm cultivation gap, to Ye Zhangqing, isn't even a gap.

Facing He Fu's sudden sneak attack, Ye Zhangqing calmly responded; after just the first clash, He Fu was sent flying backward.

His eyes full of shock; he never expected Ye Zhangqing's strength to be this great.

Clearly he is inferior to him, yet he can't even withstand a single move from the opponent.

"How could it be possible............."

"His eyes were full of shocked and panicked expression, but Ye Zhangqing didn't give him time to think; after landing a successful strike, he rose up."

"In less than ten moves, he easily subdued He Fu."

"Stepped on by Ye Zhangqing underfoot, He Fu struggled desperately, but it was utterly futile."

"He basically had no ability to resist; as everyone in the secret room was captured, Ye Zhangqing then said to He Fu."

"\"He Fu, someone once said, human greed is never enough—like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; many things that aren't yours shouldn't be coveted, and taking them means you must pay the price. \""

"You.................."

"Ignoring He Fu's reaction, after saying that, Ye Zhangqing waved his hand to summon Zhang Heping."

"\"Bring everyone to the street archway, and then slaughter them in front of everyone. \""

"Ye Zhangqing simply wanted to use these people to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so that everyone within the territory would understand a principle."

"That is, since this place is the territory of the Dao One Immortal Sect, the rules can naturally only be one—that is, the rules of the Dao One Immortal Sect."

"Anyone who wants to make a living on this territory must abide by the regulations of the Dao One Immortal Sect."

"Whoever breaks the rules, He Fu and Zhao Guaizi will be their example."

"Ye Zhangqing intended to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and he had no intention of hiding it at all."
