Chapter 2832: Extremely Good at Hiding

Seeing the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor stride up and respectfully perform the disciple's salute, Ye Zhangqing said helplessly.

I have never acknowledged having any disciples; teaching them back then was also a helpless move, right?

But for the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor, whether the master acknowledges him or not is the master's business; he is the master's disciple, and even a nominal disciple is still a disciple.

Usually the master is busy with affairs, so they dare not disturb him at will, nor dare to go uninvited to pay a visit.

But today, since I happened to meet the master outside my shop, I must ask the master to come in and sit, no matter what.

Thinking this way, the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor almost begged to bring the helpless-faced Ye Zhangqing into the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

Naturally, Ye Zhangqing's appearance was also seen by the many diners present.

Some people had never seen Ye Zhangqing and didn't know his identity, which is also normal.

But then someone shouted happily.

「Ye Immortal Chef, it's Ye Immortal Chef. 」

In an instant, the diners on site cast their gazes over, excited beyond measure.

Someone immediately wanted to rush forward, but fortunately Tianlin and Miao Qianqian timely stopped them.

Finally, under the protection of the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor, Ye Zhangqing's group then reached the top floor of the tavern.

This is the private place of the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor; outsiders cannot enter, protected by a formation.

With a feeling of lucky escape from danger, sipping the immortal tea brewed by the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor, Ye Zhangqing said with a helpless face.

「Now even if you want to leave, you can't. 」

Downstairs, outside the shop, without even thinking, there are probably countless pairs of eyes staring at me right now.

As soon as I go downstairs, I estimate I'll be surrounded in the next second.

Although these people mean no harm, just thinking about having to deal with so many of them gives Ye Zhangqing a headache.

Just now I didn't just turn around and leave; now even if I want to go, I can't get away.

Hearing that, the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor gave an embarrassed smile.

「I'm not just seeing the master after a long time; I'm thinking I should show some filial respect. 」

Oh, your filial piety really moves people.

After sipping the tea, the immortal tea is not bad; it's the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor's treasured stash, which I normally wouldn't drink, but today Ye Zhangqing came, so I brought it out.

The intention is good, but handling this matter really makes people feel awful.

Just as Ye Zhangqing and the Eight Immortals Pavilion proprietor were chatting leisurely on the top floor, downstairs, many diners gradually learned that Ye Zhangqing had arrived.

They all refused to leave, calling over the nearby staff, indicating that even if they had to pay any price, as long as they could eat a bite of Ye Zhangqing's food, it would be fine.

「Please trouble you to inform the proprietor; as long as I can eat a bite of Ye Immortal Chef's deliciousness, any amount of money is fine. 」

「Yes, money isn't a problem; I just want to eat this bite. 」

「This…………………」

With so many diners, the staff didn't dare to respond, and could only say they'd go ask for instructions first.

Seeing this, the many diners didn't make things difficult for the staff either; after expressing their attitude, they waved and told them to hurry up and report.

We've come all the way to Beyond the Heavens, isn't it just to eat this bite of deliciousness?

Originally, the spiritual food of these taverns in Immortal City Beyond the Heavens is indeed somewhat stronger than that of the Immortal Realm, so it's not a wasted trip.

But the problem is, we fear comparison; without seeing Ye Zhangqing, people naturally wouldn't think much, but now that we've encountered him, we certainly can't miss this.

Even if we empty our pockets, we must eat this bite; otherwise, wouldn't that be coming for nothing?

In the face of Ye Zhangqing's deliciousness, few people are reluctant to spend money, after all, in the Immortal Realm, even if you have money, you might not be able to eat Ye Zhangqing's deliciousness.

Not seeing them, even those disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect can only eat dry rations, right?

Moreover, the price of the dry rations that have flowed out from the Dao One Immortal Sect has already risen to an astronomical figure in the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, its circulation in the market is almost catching up to hard currency like spirit stones.

If you want to buy some treasure, bartering goods may not be accepted, after all, this thing's price is hard to determine; you say more, I say less.

But dry rations are different; in the Immortal Realm, no one would refuse dry rations, and if you produce them, they can offset money.

But the problem is, even so, few people are willing to exchange dry rations for spirit stones.

This shows how tough the Dao One Immortal Sect's dry rations are.

Many people are lavishly spending thousands of gold just to eat this warm bite.

At the same time, the news of Ye Zhangqing's appearance at the Eight Immortals Pavilion leaked out somehow, and quickly spread throughout Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

Numerous cultivators in the city all rushed over here.

There are those from the Immortal Realm and those who are already in Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; the number of people is so great that the streets are practically forming a torrent.

People pushing people, people shoving people, inevitably surging toward the Eight Immortals Pavilion beyond one's control.

At this moment, on a main road leading to the Eight Immortals Pavilion, amidst the crowd, a handsome young man was squeezed until he felt dizzy and light-headed.

He wanted to break free from the crowd, but there was no way unless he directly used his cultivation.

But the problem is, in this situation, if anyone uses their cultivation, they'd likely be instantly apprehended by the experts of the Heavenly Palace.

There are too many people; recklessly using cultivation would definitely cause chaos, and moreover, there are already dozens of Heavenly Palace experts glaring tigerishly from above.

These Heavenly Palace experts stood in midair, with complex expressions, not acting rashly; because there are so many people, they damn well don't know what to do either, and can only try to maintain order as best as possible.

Moreover, this handsome young man's identity is not clean either.

He sneaked into Immortal City Beyond the Heavens three days ago, disguising himself as a human cultivator.

Actually, his identity is that of a prince of the Shadow Demon Tribe.

The Shadow Demon Tribe is a later‑created tribe nurtured by the Feather God Tribe in Beyond the Heavens, just like the earlier relationship between the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon clan and the Barbarian God Tribe.

Therefore, this handsome young man came to Immortal City Beyond the Heavens in fact following the Feather God Tribe's order to lurk here, awaiting subsequent developments.

From this perspective, he is an enemy of the Human Race, so naturally he dare not reveal his identity.

As the Barbarian God Tribe and the Human Race grew ever closer, and furthermore the Feather God Tribe had subdued the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

On the Feather God Tribe's side, they naturally regarded the Human Race as hostile; no other reason needed—being close to the Barbarian God Tribe made them enemies, and that alone was enough.

The Shadow Demon Tribe was extremely loyal to the Feather God Tribe, having followed them for many years.

Moreover, what the Shadow Demon Tribe excelled at was the art of concealment and transformation; nearly every member possessed such an innate divine ability.

And once employed, it is extremely hard to detect, making them absolutely the best choice for gathering intelligence and assassination.

Thanks to this, the Shadow Demon Tribe had indeed helped the Feather God Tribe with many matters, earning great favor.

This time, acting on orders to infiltrate the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, it went very smoothly; the Human Race side simply did not discover the identity of this handsome youth.

Bearing the royal bloodline of the Shadow Demon Tribe, the handsome youth's concealment and transformation technique was even more superb; his bloodline talent far surpassed that of ordinary clansmen.

But at this moment, amidst the crowd, the handsome youth was like duckweed, utterly powerless.
