Chapter 710: Can't Eat It All, Simply Can't Eat It All

A long demon-binding rope, one end held by Xu Jie, the other end tied to over a hundred demon beasts.

These demon beasts had their cultivation sealed, each with blood-red eyes, glaring angrily at Xu Jie and five people.

Leisurely swaying all the way back to the foot of Myriad Demon Pass, they somewhat felt like the demon beasts before.

Content and relaxed, just like taking a walk in their own backyard.

At this moment, the demon beasts, though unable to speak, all roared angrily in their hearts.

"Damn humans, this is our demon race's territory—how dare you be so arrogant?"

Leaving Myriad Demon Pass is their demon beasts' territory, yet these humans, on their turf, are so content—damn them, truly damn them.

But Xu Jie and his companions clearly lack such awareness—whatever demon beasts' territory, from now on it's all ours, the Dao Yi Sect's; if they anger us, we'll turn it into a farm.

Just after returning to the pass, Hong Zun, Qi Xiong and others also returned one after another from the other directions.

Each group had many demon beasts tethered behind them; obviously everyone shared the same idea—freshly caught is better.

"Oh, not a bad haul."

"Haha, not bad—these demon beasts are really stupid, nothing like those from Dongzhou."

Upon meeting and exchanging greetings, the most astonishing was Hong Zun, Qing Shi and their team—damn, they had almost caught a thousand demon beasts, and moreover, there were three demon kings among them.

"I originally wanted to catch a demon emperor, but didn't encounter one; instead I hooked three demon kings and brought them back."

Qing Shi, who had already broken through to the Great Saint Realm, could hook a few demon kings as easily as playing, with no pressure.

But those three demon kings, their eyes nearly bursting with fire at this moment—"Listen to what you're saying, you vile, shameless humans—you actually dared to ambush this king!"

Those three demon kings were truly wronged—walking along fine, then a big hook flew out of nowhere and they were gone; who can they reason with?

The speed was so fast they hardly had time to react.

Five Great Saints—can you imagine, five Great Saints actually sneaking in the grass to strike from the shadows—is that what a Great Saint is supposed to do?

Hong Zun and his companions naturally felt no psychological burden—who says a Great Saint can't hide in the grass? For a bite to eat, they won't hesitate.

"Let's go, head back."

At Qi Xiong's command, the crowd and the vast amount of ingredients returned to Myriad Demon Pass.

When the gate opened, the cultivators tasked with guarding the gate saw so many captured demon beasts and stared wide-eyed.

"Senior, this is…………"

"Nothing, it's none of your business."

"Oh…………"

They went out for a stroll of over two hours and brought back this many demon beasts?

They stared dumbfounded as the Dao Yi Sect people left, but the news quickly spread throughout the pass city.

Even now they don't know what medicine the Dao Yi Sect is selling from its gourd; instead, they're becoming more and more confused.

"What do you think they're doing with all those captured demon beasts?"

"Who knows?"

"Could it be they want to provoke the demon race and start a big war?"

"That's actually possible."

The cultivators began wild speculation, while the Dao Yi Sect, of course, had no idea what they were thinking.

After obtaining so many ingredients and returning to the lord's manor, everyone was grinning from ear to ear.

"Haha, Little Ye Zhangqing, this haul is no small feat."

"Exactly, take a look—there are plenty of ingredients not found in Zhongzhou, like this frenzied savage ox……."

"If you ask me, Zhongzhou is truly the right place to come—it's practically a blessed land, and the ingredients are all cute and obedient."

Watching everyone introduce themselves to Ye Zhangqing one by one, each mouth full of ingredients, the many demon beasts were utterly enraged.

"You lot are the ingredients—you're the blood food of our demon race."

Too bad no one paid them any heed.

Seeing so many ingredients before him, Ye Zhangqing didn't find it strange—just normal procedure.

But processing so many ingredients wasn't easy; after a thought, Ye Zhangqing summoned the three leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance.

「This is............ 」

The three leaders rushed over, and upon seeing so many demon beasts they were dumbfounded—"Where did you get all these?"

"There are too many ingredients; please trouble the three of you to help."

"No problem."

Naturally the three wouldn't refuse—being able to lend Ye Zhangqing a hand was exactly what they wanted, and it would surely help their own cooking skills.

As ninth-grade spirit chefs, the three processed the ingredients at a speed far surpassing that of Zhu Wu.

Moreover, it's not just them—the Spirit Chef Alliance also has many eighth- and seventh-grade spirit chefs.

With the help of the many spirit chefs, Ye Zhangqing instead became the most idle person.

All they needed to do was voice a request, and the spirit chefs could perfectly handle the ingredients according to Ye Zhangqing's needs.

Those who cut chunks cut chunks, those who minced minced, the shreds were shreds, the slices were slices.

Being at least seventh-grade spirit chefs, the group's basic knife skills were naturally flawless.

Li Chengyue also helped in the crowd; at this moment, watching Ye Zhangqing prepare to start cooking, he stared intently.

"Let me see what a saint-level spirit chef is really capable of."

This was Li Chengyue's first time seeing Ye Zhangqing display his cooking skills, and he naturally valued it immensely.

"Fan Zu, everything's been processed."

After the preparations ended perfectly, the three leaders spoke respectfully; hearing that, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched—"Don't call me Fan Zu."

Then came Ye Zhangqing's performance—it wasn't tiring anyway, and as everyone said, Myriad Demon Pass lacks nothing but ingredients, which are plentiful, so Ye Zhangqing this time simply went all out, cooking all the ingredients so everyone could enjoy a good meal.

Even the Spirit Chef Alliance gets a share.

This made everyone overjoyed, with unlimited supply—this can't just be called good luck; it's like golden eggs raining from the sky!

They all stared at Ye Zhangqing, eyes fixed in anticipation.

The Dao Yi Sect members drooled with craving; as for the Spirit Chef Alliance's chefs, besides being craving, they were also very curious about Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì.

As Ye Zhangqing cooked, rich aromas spread one after another.

The Spirit Chef Alliance chefs went from anticipation to excitement, and now to shock.

They already knew the Rice Ancestor's cooking skill was surely superb, but they never expected it to reach this point.

Some Spirit Chef Alliance chefs, watching Ye Zhangqing's moves, felt as if their minds had been opened.

"Who knew chicken could be cooked this way!"

"So this is how to stir-fry the spicy beef? Impressive!"

All these methods left the Spirit Chef Alliance chefs admiring them wholeheartedly; even Li Chengyue stared wide-eyed, frozen as if seeing a ghost.

He had already been won over by Ye Zhangqing's skill, and the girl beside him, eyes sparkling, said.

"How about it, still want to challenge the Rice Ancestor?"

This time, Li Chengyue didn't persist; he had long lost the confidence to challenge Ye Zhangqing, or rather he knew he had been humiliating himself all along.

The gap between them is simply huge, visible to the naked eye; and his challenge, in Ye Zhangqing's eyes, is hardly even a joke.
