Outside the Golden Phoenix restaurant, the Silver Wei Sect disciples groaned in pain as they struggled to rise to their feet.
Wei Ran did not care about his injury. He rose to his feet, his heart burning with rage.
He was a true disciple of the ancient Silver Wei Sect. They dared attack him?!
An aura of an Early Core Refining Stage-1 erupted from his body.
He took out his weapon and unsheathed it. Today, he would teach this useless restaurant why everyone feared the Silver Wei Sect disciples.
Behind, the other disciples also rose to their feet. Their faces burned with fury and shame.
They had arrived high and mighty only to be sent flying by an invisible force.
Everyone at the scene held their breath, staring at the Silver Wei Sect disciples.
This is getting interesting. They all thought.
For most of them, this was the very first time they had seen a Silver Wei Sect disciple treated like this. Moreover, there was a true disciple among them.
The Imperial Capital will be shaken when the news spread.
Just thinking of how juicy the news was, many could not wait to depart and spread the news.
Compared to the gossip mongers, the Silver Wei disciples wanted nothing but to reclaim their lost glory.
"Die!" Wei Ran shouted and rushed toward the calm female attendant.
His plan was to kill the female attendant before he sent a message to his master.
He was not foolish enough to believe such an establishment would not have an expert backing them.
But so what?!
Looking at Wei Ran, the female attendant sneered. She raised her palm and launched a powerful palm strike.
Bang!
The attack was swift and merciless, giving him no chance to defend.
Ahhhh!
Wei Ran was sent hurling back, crashing to the middle of the street.
Huh!
The crowd was dumbfounded. They stared at the usually calm female attendant with their jaws dropped to the ground.
Previously, they all thought the female attendants were nothing but weak commoners, but now, they realized they were wrong.
She was a Peak Core Refining Realm Stage-9 warrior.
Even though there were Golden Core Experts among the crowd, none of them had seen through her.
What a powerful concealment technique. They exclaimed in their hearts.
Under the pressure of the female attendant, the Silver Wei Sect disciples wore a hateful expression.
They turned and looked at Wei Ran for a moment before they decided to help him.
"Don't touch me." Wei Ran barked. His eyes bloodshot and veins protruded on his forehead.
This was the greatest loss since he started his cultivation journey.
Quickly, he took out his communication talisman and sent a message to his master.
…
….
In another part of the Imperial Capital, an old man with sparse hair sat across Broken Blade.
"Old Friend, you need to give me face. I need to teach those little kids some lessons." He said with an amicable smile.
Broken Blade took a sip from his tea and shook his head. "You can't. They are under my protection."
The old man stared at Broken Blade for a moment before the amicable smile on his face twisted into annoyance.
"Broken Blade, do you think you alone can cover the sky?"
Broken Blade did not respond, his gaze merely shifted to the black broken blade lying beside him.
The intent was clear.
Just then, the air twisted, and an old beautiful woman appeared inside the pavilion.
"Broken Blade, are you sure you're not going to rethink it?" Her gaze was sharp like a viper.
"Enough of this meaningless chat. If we're going to fight, let's fight." Broken Blade snapped impatiently and rose to the sky.
Since they appeared, he knew the battle was unavoidable. Besides, he wanted to use them to test his newfound strength.
….
Zhou Ancient Clan.
Inside the grand hall, the Zhou Patriarch sat on his throne with his little wife on his lap.
"Hahaha. Your plan worked. That old fool has been lured away." The Patriarch wrapped his hand tightly around her waist.
"Of course, it would work." She giggled and snuggled deep into his chest. "Don't forget your promise."
"Don't worry, I won't forget." He replied and looked in the direction of the Golden Phoenix restaurant.
'Now, no one can protect you.' He mused, and he couldn't wait to unearth their secret.
…
…
Nine Star Restaurant.
The manager was pacing back and forth; his face filled with anticipation.
Creak!
The door was pushed open and a man rushed in.
"My Lord, the fish has taken the bait." He announced with a bright smile.
"Hahahaha. I knew it." The manager happily slapped his thigh. "Quickly, send the people to take over the restaurant. Today, we must find their secret."
….
…..
Back at the Golden Phoenix restaurant, everyone held their breath, their eyes burning with anticipation.
The crowd had increased when the news spread.
"Do you think the restaurant will be destroyed?"
"Of course, do you think the restaurant stands a chance against the Silver Wei Sect?"
"Ah! This is not good. Why will the Silver Wei Sect just bully everyone?"
"Humph! Let them hear your voice, you wouldn't see tomorrow."
"What a pity. I've come to love the restaurant."
Most of the crowd pitied the Golden Phoenix restaurant as they could already foresee their destruction.
"Look!" A voice shouted, pointing at the incoming group of Peak Golden Core Experts.
Among them, there were elders from the Silver Wei Sect and also elders from the ancient Zhou Clan.
Feeling their suffocating pressure, the crowd held their breath and retreated.
"It is over!" A woman muttered.
When Wei Ran and his fellow disciples saw their elders with the ancient Zhou clan elders,
their faces twisted in an evil grin.
Today, they would show everyone why no one dared to go against them.
Without speaking, the Peak Golden Core Experts unsheathed their weapons, ready to raze the restaurant to the ground.
Just then, a ghostly palm appeared in the sky.
Watching the ghostly palm, everyone froze in their spots. Their hearts pounded heavily against their chests.
This…
The Peak Golden Core Experts knew they had hit an iron plate.
"S-Senior–"
One of the Silver Wei Sect elders wanted to speak, only to be slapped into a puddle of blood.
Bang!
Close to ten Peak Golden Core Experts were reduced to minced meat and puddle blood.
The ghostly palm disappeared like it never appeared in the first place.
Yet, the crowd was trembling with fear and everywhere was quiet like a graveyard.
