Chapter 2233: Let's Cook It

In front of Huang Lao, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace truly had no temper at all.

Even if there was ten thousand parts of anger and unwillingness in his heart, he could only watch helplessly as everyone left.

As for the sect's territory, at this very moment this Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace also understood it clearly.

With Huang Lao present, he could not retain him.

Whether willing or not, they had to hand it over, and the opposing side had sufficient reason, with so many people as witnesses, and even Ye Zhangqing had video evidence, making denial impossible.

Being inferior in strength, the other side being justified, it was no wonder that Ye Zhangqing previously didn't care about his inability to decide the ownership of the Beyond the Heavens treasure land.

That was how it was.

But now saying anything was too late; after Ye Zhangqing's group walked far away, the pressure surrounding them gradually dissipated, and this Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace plopped down on the ground, his face ashen.

Meanwhile, the people hiding around saw his state, yet not a single one showed themselves.

Although everyone's thoughts varied, they all knew that this Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace was finished, and moreover, within Wuji Xiancheng, the power of Dao One Immortal Sect had expanded further.

It was indeed the foremost power in the city.

No one had the leisure to pity this Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace, after all, each had plenty of their own matters.

Furthermore, the expansion of Dao One Immortal Sect's power required them to make preparations early.

Thus naturally no one cared about his life or death.

Soon the crowd dispersed, and Ye Zhangqing's group entered the city, heading toward the canteen.

Along the way, the manager of San Shi San Lou obediently followed behind; by now there was naturally no need to hide anything.

What made Ye Zhangqing somewhat sideways-glance was that black phoenix bird.

From the moment they entered the city, this creature had been arrogantly strutting, head held high, chest puffed out, nostrils flaring as it looked down on people.

Even while walking through the city streets, facing passing cultivators, it couldn't help but flare its nostrils and emit a sound like a light snort.

It was simply arrogant beyond measure.

"This beast......................"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he really treated himself as a "personage."

All the way back to the canteen, just as they were about to enter the door, Ye Zhangqing had already stepped out one foot, when suddenly he felt his body bumped by something.

Then he saw that black phoenix bird swaggeringly bump him aside and stride into the shop first.

Seeing this, Hongyue and the other girls who had been preparing to greet him respectfully were all startled.

They gazed at the black phoenix bird with complex eyes, wondering if this beast really had such gall?

Dare to bump the young master, and even be the first to enter the shop.

Without a doubt, that earlier bump was deliberate on the beast's part, certainly not an accident.

At this moment Ye Zhangqing's eyes also turned cold, watching the swaying-tailed black phoenix bird, he silently took out a cleaver from his space ring.

This wicked beast cannot be spared.

As a blade of light flashed, the previously mighty and vigorous black phoenix bird was directly severed head from body.

Putting away the cleaver, he then stepped into the shop and instructed Hongyue.

"Handle it, tonight we'll stew it in a pot."

"Yes, Young Master."

He then directly stepped over the black phoenix bird's corpse.

This black phoenix bird, as the king of chickens, had its beastly life end before it even began; everything came so dreamlike and ended so swiftly, giving it no chance to react at all.

By evening, in the rear courtyard, a pot of black chicken soup was placed before Ye Zhangqing and his companions, bubbling gurglingly, fragrance spreading.

The taste of this chicken king seemed somewhat different—could it be due to overconfidence?

After eating a piece of chicken meat, Ye Zhangqing raised his cup voluntarily and said to the manager of San Shi San Lou beside him.

"Those items from your San Shi San Lou earlier, I'll take them back together later."

Since San Shi San Lou is an industry of Tianlin, that also counts as our own people.

Although the treasures from San Shi San Lou earlier were not many, Ye Zhangqing also felt embarrassed to take them; anyway, Ultimate Bliss Palace had already given plenty.

Upon hearing this, the manager of San Shi San Lou did not decline, but respectfully accepted.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing curiously asked.

"By the way, when did Tianlin open this San Shi San Lou?"

I've always been curious about this; after all, San Shi San Lou has been in Wuji Xiancheng for quite a while.

Upon hearing this, the manager of San Shi San Lou replied truthfully.

"Replying to Young Master Ye, originally the manager of my San Shi San Lou was not the lord, but about seven years ago the lord took over San Shi San Lou; the previous boss withdrew for some unknown reason, and from then on San Shi San Lou became the lord's property, while I naturally came to serve under the lord."

"Oh, I see."

That also makes sense.

As for what methods Tianlin used to make the former boss willingly withdraw, Ye Zhangqing found it unsurprising.

With Tianlin's status, there are many ways; taking over a restaurant is a trivial matter.

It's just that this fellow quietly opened a restaurant, which is also surprising.

Several people ate and chatted casually, while Huang Lao and Zuo Fu remained silent, merely enjoying their food and drink, without interjecting.

However, just as everyone was eating, suddenly a breath arrived, accompanied by an angry roar.

"I'll fight you to the death."

It turned out that the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace had come directly to kill them.

Alone, he directly charged into the air above the canteen; looking at his appearance, it was clear he already harbored a death wish.

After all, he knew of Huang Lao's existence; with Huang Lao present, his coming to the canteen could stir up what kind of waves?

Useless, he probably also thought that after this incident, when the sect's people arrived, he would also have no good outcome.

It would be better to die with some splendor; don't go back to the Sect, or you'll still be judged.

Looking at this fearless Extreme Bliss Palace Elder, Ye Zhangqing slowly lowered his wine cup; meanwhile, the attendant of San Shi San Lou immediately stood up.

"Don't be presumptuous."

He naturally couldn't let this madman harm Ye Zhangqing in the slightest; at this point he definitely had to step forward.

Before he could act, not even the Extreme Bliss Palace Elder had time to rush into the Canteen; all that was seen was a faint green light streaking across.

Immediately in the sky, it instantly expanded, as if turning into a green Milky Way.

The green river enveloped the entire sky over Wuji Xiancheng; in the night, everyone in the city could see it clearly.

The green river shone brilliantly, giving a sense of vast grandeur; the immense power it contained caused many cultivators to look on in awe.

Such might made people unconsciously show envy, thinking, 'If only I had such strength, where in the vast world could I not go?'

This green river was naturally Huang Lao's doing; he merely flicked his finger, casually performing an immortal technique, and caused this phenomenon.

As for that Extreme Bliss Palace Elder who wanted to fight to the death, he was instantly swallowed by the green river, not even making a sound.

The green river stretched across the sky; Ye Zhangqing remained calm throughout, showing no tension from the recent disturbance, and only then did he slowly lower his wine cup.
