Chapter 279

Ye Zhangqing simply couldn't accept it; looking at this group chatting about rouge and powder, made up with effeminate airs, could they possibly be body cultivators of the Dao Yi Sect?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

After chatting a while in the courtyard, seeing that mealtime was approaching, Hong Zun found an open space, took out his spirit city, and the disciples orderly divided the rooms, while Ye Zhangqing also began preparing dinner.

In the kitchen, Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, Zhao Rou, Xu Jie and the others were still helping.

While chatting, Xu Jie suddenly said.

«We've come all the way to Huling; don't you think it's a bit unreasonable not to rustle up some game? »

«At this time, the defenses of Huling are probably pretty tight. »

«What's the big deal? We'll just hang out on the outskirts; after all, Shīzūn and the others are here. »

«I say we'd better not provoke those tiger tribes; just casually dealing with them will do. »

Ye Zhangqing advised against it, but as soon as he spoke, several people directly refused.

«How could that be acceptable? You can't just casually handle a meal. »

«Yeah, we've come all the way to Huling; if you don't rustle up a couple of tiger tribe members to eat, wouldn't that be coming here for nothing? »

«You have to eat tiger tribe just because you came to Huling? What the hell kind of reasoning is that? »

Several of them got excited and even decided to go tomorrow, while Ye Zhangqing, standing aside, couldn't be bothered to say more.

The ingredients were quickly prepared, and there was still some beef in the Space Ring, which Hong Zun had picked up on the side when he visited the fire ox tribe earlier.

Today we'll have a stir-fried fire ox meat dish and a tomato‑egg scramble, just something simple to eat.

As the ingredients hit the pot, the aroma quickly spread; coincidentally, Hong Zun's spirit city was right next to Dragon Elephant Peak.

The aroma quickly spread into the spirit city of Dragon Elephant Peak, where the disciples who had been putting on makeup, cultivating, and chatting about rouge and powder caught a whiff and twitched their noses.

«Smells great, what is this aroma? »

«Shī xiōng, I'm hungry. »

«Good girl, where is this aroma coming from? »

Following the scent, the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples all came to Hong Zun's spirit city.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples had already begun fighting, with continuous ripples of Línglì spreading out.

«The aroma is coming from in here. »

«Really? »

«Let's go inside and have a look. »

The Dragon Elephant Peak disciples entered the spirit city and rushed toward the kitchen, seeing the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples tangled in a fight, many of the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples wore puzzled expressions.

«What are you guys………? »

«Having a meal. »

«Why fight over a meal? »

«To grab a spot. »

«Why grab a spot? »

«You need a spot to be able to eat. »

«Why do you need a spot to eat? »

«Are you kidding me? A hundred thousand whys? »

Grabbed by a Dragon Elephant Peak disciple, an Outer Door Disciple of the Divine Sword Peak flew into a rage, cursing, because he could see his spot about to be snatched away, which instantly made him furious.

After some questioning, the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples also figured it out: it turned out the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples were fighting over spots to get a meal.

And this aroma was coming from the kitchen.

In that moment, many Dragon Elephant Peak disciples exchanged glances, a light flashing in their eyes—oh, it's about food—and immediately they joined the fray.

«Shī xiōng, junior sister, count me in. »

«I also want to eat. »

A group of Dragon Elephant Peak disciples, making orchid‑finger gestures, jumped into the fray; seeing this, the Divine Sword Peak disciples were taken aback, then showed no mercy and launched an attack.

«Holy crap, how did the Dragon Elephant Peak people get here? »

«Never mind how they got here, what time is it now—just take them down. »

«Right, right, watch my entangling hand. »

«Cotton palm. »

«Hold on, you guys need to follow the rules. »

«What rules? »

«No external force, no serious injury, just tap to stop. »

«Oh, I get it now. »

While fighting, the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples also shouted the rules, and soon the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples got into the groove.

But after all, it was their first time fighting over a meal, and they still lacked experience.

Especially when it came to entangling hand, cotton palm, flowing light step, and clear flow wall—tools for snagging a meal—the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples had no idea how to use them.

After all, they were a bunch of body cultivators who had never trained in this sort of technique.

It seemed they were naturally at a disadvantage, and not long after, many Dragon Elephant Peak disciples were trapped by the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples' entangling hand and cotton palm.

«Heh heh, my entangling hand has already reached the state of transformation. »

Looking at the trapped Dragon Elephant Peak disciples, the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples all smiled confidently—«You can't even do entangling hand and you want to fight me for a meal? What a joke. »

However, the next second, many Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples were left dumbfounded.

Only after being held by the entangling hand and cotton palm did the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples suddenly realize—ah, that's how you fight over a meal; they don't know entangling hand or cotton palm, so they're indeed at a disadvantage, but………

«I see, there's still this kind of detail, but even a transformation‑level entangling hand can't hold them back—Nine Storehouses, open………

As the words fell, this Dragon Elephant Peak disciple's physique instantly swelled, and his clothes tore apart inch by inch.

Originally slender, his build became extremely burly in just a moment.

His face remained fair, but damn his body had already become a muscular hulk.

In terms of physique, he could now rival a transformed demonic beast.

Take the tiger tribe, for instance—after transforming, each is immensely tall and sturdy, standing at least two or three meters high.

Right now, this Dragon Elephant Peak disciple is exactly like that.

Then, the binding hand that had restrained him was ripped apart in one grab.

Seeing this, the Shénjiàn Fēng Dìzǐ before him stared with eyes wide as saucers.

"Holy shit, can't hold him............."

Not only him, the other Dragon Elephant Peak disciples were the same; as soon as the Nine Vaults Mìfǎ was activated, damn it, instantly like they'd been injected with chicken blood, each turned into a muscular hulk.

And those original binding hands and soft palms were utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

"Binding hand."

"Soft palm."

"Shī xiōng, it's useless."

Really can't hold them; that should have immobilized them outright, but within just two or three breaths, these Dragon Elephant Peak disciples broke free, bursting out with brute force.

Xu Jie and a few others were fighting together with a few Inner Disciples of Dragon Elephant Peak; now the binding hand and soft palm are completely useless, Xu Jie screamed in anger.

"You guys are cheating, damn it—how can you use the Nine Vaults Mìfǎ?"

"But besides the Nine Vaults Mìfǎ, we don't know any other."

"We only use binding hand and soft palm—how can you use the Nine Vaults Mìfǎ?"

"How about you also use sword techniques?"

"Really, damn it, I'm fed up with this bunch of brutes—we only use a bit of binding hand and soft palm, and you've even brought out the Nine Vaults Mìfǎ; what's the point of fighting then?"

Looking at each tall, sturdy, heroic Dragon Elephant Peak disciple, Xu Jie knew that if he didn't draw his sword today, he probably wouldn't get this meal.

Relying solely on binding hand and soft palm cannot control these brutes.

"Then don't blame me."

The long sword left its sheath, fierce sword qi surged forth; since you Dragon Elephant Peak were the first to use the Nine Vaults Mìfǎ, don't blame us for using swords.
