Chapter 646: Demon Emperor Ingredient

Even the alliance masters have been summoned?

The Spirit Chef Alliance has three alliance masters in total, namely the three renowned grade‑9 spirit chefs of Zhongzhou.

Besides that, the vice alliance masters of the Spirit Chef Alliance have always been held by several great saint powerhouses.

These vice alliance masters are not spirit chefs, yet they differ from ordinary alliance members; they belong to the alliance's direct lineage as internal members.

After all, they consume the alliance's cultivation resources each year, so they naturally have to serve a purpose.

This is also the foundation that allows the Spirit Chef Alliance to take root in Zhongzhou.

Otherwise, relying solely on a group of spirit chefs with little combat power, the alliance would not have developed to this day.

Any force needs its own strength.

"I don't know which alliance master has come."

Tang Yao asked, and upon hearing this, Elder Li's expression also changed.

"All three together, plus four vice alliance masters."

Huh???

This time Tang Yao was utterly shocked—three alliance masters arriving at once, plus four vice alliance masters… this shows how highly they value Ye Zhangqing.

But thinking about it, a single saint‑grade spirit chef is enough to shake the alliance.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing is still so young; who knows how high he will rise in the future?

Just as the alliance masters and vice alliance masters were rushing over, the next day Nie Yuan kept his word and had someone deliver that demon emperor's thigh.

Looking at the well‑preserved, power‑filled demon emperor's thigh, Xu Jie almost drooled.

Ye Zhangqing also gazed at it eagerly; such top‑grade ingredient was something he'd never touched before.

This is the thigh of a magic bull demon emperor; it is said that during the ancient war of the two clans, an ancestor of the Holy Land slew it, after which the Spirit Chef Alliance obtained the thigh, and finally the Nie family bought it at great cost.

But now it belongs to Ye Zhangqing.

Watching Ye Zhangqing receive the demon emperor's thigh with reluctance, his heart filled with indignation, yet there was nothing he could do.

In the end he could only leave in silence.

"Junior brother, are we going to prepare it tonight?"

Just as the person left, Xu Jie couldn't help but say, pretending it was because he feared it wouldn't stay fresh.

In response, Zhao Zhengping, Zhong Ling and the others retorted unhappily.

"They've kept it this long—how come it's not fresh after just one afternoon in your hands?"

"Wouldn't it be better to eat it while it's hot? Don't you want to eat it?"

Forehead......... think.

"Who wouldn't want to taste a demon emperor's ingredient?" Seeing the situation, Ye Zhangqing simply said.

"Alright, then we'll prepare this tonight."

Watching the Dao Yi Sect crowd nonchalantly decide the thigh's fate, the Tang family members nearby stared dumbfounded.

This thing, in the Nie family's hands, was treated like a heirloom treasure.

They wouldn't dare eat it, or even look at it closely, for fear of defiling such a top‑grade ingredient.

But once it arrived at the Dao Yi Sect, they couldn't wait to dig in as soon as they got it.

With such a fine thing, shouldn't you pick an auspicious day, burn incense, bathe, and then eat? How… how does it feel like eating fast food?

Ye Zhangqing didn't know what the Tang family thought; in his view, no matter how good the ingredient, it must be eaten to have any meaning.

Just hoarding a top‑grade ingredient and refusing to eat it isn't right—it's just asking for trouble.

So, faced with the words of Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and the others, Ye Zhangqing agreed without much hesitation.

However, the Tang family members were only shocked for a moment, then became overjoyed.

Since we're eating demon emperor's ingredient today, do they also get a share of the blessing?

"I've never even eaten a demon emperor's ingredient, and I never expected to have the chance to taste one today."

"Never mind demon emperor—I haven't even eaten a demon king."

"No, today I must savor this top‑grade ingredient properly, not wolf it down like before."

"Hah, who would believe that?"

The Tang family members all rolled up their sleeves, eager—even though they haven't joined the Dao Yi Sect yet, they receive such treatment?

In that moment, their resolve to join the Dao Yi Sect strengthened—after all, it's just about sucking up, and they could learn from the Tang family's flattery skills.

If the Dao Yi Sect doesn't let us suck up comfortably, the Tang family simply won't believe it.

Ye Zhangqing, accompanied by Zhu Wu, Bai Hua Xianzi and Jue Ying, began processing the demon emperor's thigh, with Tang Qingqing and Tang Yao also volunteering to help.

Several people were busy in the room.

However, while handling the ingredient, Tang Yao and Tang Qingqing could clearly feel their hands trembling.

Such a top‑grade ingredient—when have we ever seen something like this? Even a slight waste would be a huge sin.

Seeing their cautious demeanor, Ye Zhangqing laughed.

"You don't need to be so nervous; just follow the normal procedure."

Simple to say, but the two of them just couldn't relax.

Everyone was waiting for mealtime, their eyes shining.

Like the others, Elder Li was eagerly awaiting it, but just now he suddenly received a message from the alliance master saying they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.

In response, Elder Li casually nodded in agreement; his mind was now full of that demon emperor's thigh.

And precisely because his mind was filled with it, when he spoke he blurted out unintentionally.

"Mm, alliance masters, take your time—I won't say more; tonight we'll eat the demon emperor's thigh."

Huh???

Hearing this, the three alliance leaders on the other side of the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán were stunned. Demon Emperor's thigh?

In that moment, one of them reacted, his eyes widening instantly.

"You mean that Demon Emperor's thigh from the Nie family?"

They naturally knew about that Demon Emperor's thigh, and upon hearing this, Elder Li also realized he had messed up; but since it was already said, trying to cover it up now was obviously impossible.

Anyway, the alliance leaders wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, so he proceeded to tell the three of them the truth in full.

Upon hearing that the Dao Yi Sect was eating the Demon Emperor's thigh today, the three alliance leaders at the other end of the formation fell into silence.

Even after Elder Li ended the formation call on his side, the three of them remained staring at each other.

"I think we should personally verify whether that kid is really a Saint-level Spirit Chef."

"Exactly, and the best way is naturally to taste it ourselves."

"Then we............"

Their eyes locked, the three alliance leaders' bodies erupted with a surging blood aura; they decided that, no matter what, they would reach Tang Family Fortress before mealtime.

As for the four vice alliance leaders on the side, they were all Great Saint powerhouses; seeing the three decisively choose to burn their qi and blood, they were all stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing............"

"Demon Emperor ingredients, you don't want to eat them? Hurry up."

To this, the three had no wasted words; this was Demon Emperor ingredients—if they missed it, there would be none left. Heaven knows how difficult it is to obtain even a bit of Demon Emperor ingredients.

If they couldn't eat it, they'd probably regret it to death; moreover, it was being personally cooked by a Saint-level Spirit Chef, making it even harder to refuse.
