Chapter 853

The news that Ye Zhangqing would attend the Four Alliances Gathering spread, and naturally it drew lamentations from all the disciples.

Without Elder Ye Zhangqing, how are we supposed to get by?

After all, this is Ye Zhangqing's own affair; even if the disciples are unwilling, they have no right to say more.

Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and the others even went personally to his door to persuade him, asking repeatedly.

But since he had promised the three alliance leaders, Ye Zhangqing would not go back on his word, continually shaking his head and refusing the persuasion of Zhao Zhengping and the others.

"Alas, Elder Ye Zhangqing, you say you're leaving—what are we to do?"

"I will prepare more dried rations."

Ye Zhangqing could do no more than that; besides, he would not do anything else.

As for this, Zhao Zhengping and the others, though unwilling, could only nod in agreement.

Half a month later, the three leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance personally came to invite Ye Zhangqing to set out, having arranged the canteen affairs, and Ye Zhangqing also brought Shan Hu along, heading together to Cloud Lotus Holy City.

This time, Bai Hua Xianzi and Jueying did not go, although the two women would have loved to spend the whole day with Ye Zhangqing.

However, as Peak Masters, they naturally could not ignore everything; coincidentally, over the past few days both women had pressing matters to attend to.

He brought only Shan Hu, while the canteen affairs were handed over to Zhu Wu.

Aboard the Spirit Chef Alliance's star vessel, along the way Ye Zhangqing had clothes brought to him and food brought to his mouth.

To attend to Ye Zhangqing well, the Spirit Chef Alliance arranged a full eight maidservants.

They were handsome and beautiful, and all were virgins.

"You don't need to keep following me, do you?"

He intended to brew a cup of tea, but as soon as Ye Zhangqing raised his hand, two of the maidservants had already started boiling water, so there was no need for him to do it himself.

Moreover, whenever he moved his arm a little, someone would come to massage his shoulders and legs, leaving Ye Zhangqing somewhat speechless.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the eight maidservants replied in unison.

"To serve the young master is our blessing."

Ah.............

He was practically being served into an invalid; each day he didn't even need to move a finger, as the eight maidservants had everything arranged plainly and clearly.

As for that brat Shan Hu, each day he spent time with the junior members of the Spirit Chef Alliance, exchanging practice.

This fellow, worthy of possessing an indestructible battle physique, has nothing on his mind but fighting or being on the way to fight.

While in the holy land he used to spar with the disciples; now that he's out, he also spars with the people of the Spirit Chef Alliance.

All the way he went to Cloud Lotus Holy City lying like a corpse.

At the same time, inside the Cloud Lotus Holy Land, Grand Elder Wang Lin listened to his subordinates' report.

"Four Alliances Gathering? Are you sure someone from Dao Yi Shengdi is coming?"

"Reporting to Grand Elder, it is absolutely certain; supposedly it is the head of some canteen, namely the chief elder of Dao Yi Shengdi."

"A canteen? What kind of hall is that?"

He had never heard of such a hall before, but Wang Lin's eyes quickly flashed with a hint of coldness.

As for Dao Yi Shengdi, he harbored not a shred of good impression.

Nowadays, the Cloud Lotus Holy Lord leads Li Zhengqing and others to guard the Iron Prison Pass, while Wang Lin rushes back to the holy land to take charge of the overall situation.

At this moment, all affairs of the Cloud Lotus Holy Land are decided by Grand Elder Wang Lin.

Furthermore, the various ancestors are now in closed-door cultivation, leaving no one able to check him.

Thus, upon hearing that Dao Yi Shengdi had actually sent a chief elder,

although he did not know what this canteen head was about, Wang Lin still intended to give him a hard time, in order to vent his pent-up frustration.

He hadn't really thought of anything specific, but humiliating him a bit should be fine.

Even if Dao Yi Shengdi went crazy, it would not possibly turn hostile with Cloud Lotus Holy Land over this.

From Dongzhou to the Iron Prison Pass, Wang Lin can be said to have suffered losses at the hands of Dao Yi Shengdi several times.

Especially at the Iron Prison Pass, he was forced by Qin Shan Hai into a great embarrassment, in front of many disciples.

Just thinking of this, a nameless fire rose uncontrollably in Wang Lin's heart.

Coincidentally, this Four Alliances Gathering is being held in Cloud Lotus Holy City, his turf; if he does not give that Dao Yi Shengdi canteen head a proper humiliation, it would really be unacceptable.

"You know how to arrange it, right?"

He glanced lightly at that steward; upon hearing the words, the steward instantly understood and nodded in agreement.

"Grand Elder, rest assured, I understand."

"Then go ahead."

"Yes."

"Come to my Cloud Lotus Holy City; this time I will surely make that so‑called canteen head lose all face."

He said this with a cold smile; however, Wang Lin obviously did not know Ye Zhangqing's status within Dao Yi Shengdi.

He simply wanted to vent his inner anger, and since Ye Zhangqing had come, he could only blame himself for his own misfortune.

Not far from the Cloud Lotus Holy Land, Cloud Lotus Holy City, as one of the three holy cities, is naturally extremely prosperous.

Not only is the city's area vast and imposing, but its streets are also constantly thronged with people.

Compared to the Pill Master Alliance's Medicine King City, it is not lacking in the slightest, and is even more lively.

Especially since the Four Alliances Gathering is about to be held, many cultivators have gathered here.

Among them, Pill Masters, Talisman Masters, Formation Masters, and Spirit Chefs can be seen everywhere.

The inns in the city are basically already fully occupied.

"I heard that the Food Ancestor of the Spirit Chef Alliance will also come to participate."

"You're just ignorant and narrow‑eared; supposedly the ancestors of the Pill Master Alliance, the Talisman Master Alliance, and the Formation Master Alliance will all appear as well."

What's this? In past gatherings of the Four Great Alliances, ancestor-level figures would absolutely not appear.

It's supposedly because of the Food Ancestor, after all the Spirit Chef Alliance is currently thriving, this is inseparable from the Food Ancestor; they probably just want to see him in person.

That's right, it's said that the Food Ancestor is the first Spirit Chef to break through to the Saint level, though no one knows if it's true.

Who knows? We'll find out when the gathering starts.

To Ye Zhangqing, many cultivators are relatively unfamiliar.

After all, Ye Zhangqing rarely leaves Dao Yi Shengdi when he has nothing to do, and there's nothing noteworthy about him outside.

So even though the Food Ancestor's fame has long spread throughout Zhongzhou, everyone has only heard his name but never seen him.

Moreover, let alone knowing anything about the Food Ancestor, it's not strange for people to be curious about Ye Zhangqing right now.

The ancestors of the Four Great Alliances will all personally attend this gathering, undoubtedly making this Four Great Alliances gathering even more lively.

More and more cultivators have rushed to Yunluo Commandery City because they want to see the ancestors of the Four Great Alliances.

And as time passes, the Four Great Alliances have been arriving at Yunluo Commandery City one after another.

First is the Formation Masters Alliance.

Led by two alliance leaders, as soon as they entered the city, their identities were recognized, and someone curiously asked.

"Which one is the Formation Ancestor? This is my first time seeing an ancestor-level figure from the Four Great Alliances."

"I've never seen one either."

"Don't even think about it; an ancestor-level person definitely isn't in the troupe. Look, the highest cultivation in the group is just the two alliance leaders, so the Formation Ancestor is clearly not present."

"That's a pity."

"What's the big deal? When the gathering starts, we'll naturally see them; for now, we should wait until the other three alliances arrive before saying more."
