Yucheng Prefecture, a city equivalent to a modern provincial capital, was prosperous and dignified. Linjiang Restaurant, one of Lingyun Sect's largest properties, stood on the riverbank, renowned for its luxury. This was Yucheng Prefecture's premier venue, accessible only to high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants, leaving ordinary people daunted.

At that moment, Yu Kai and Xuan'er were sitting in a private room overlooking the river, feasting heartily. The table was covered with a dazzling array of delicacies from land and sea. Xuan'er had never tasted such delicious food since she was a child. She had never even had enough to eat before, so how could she have seen anything like it? The two of them devoured their food without restraint, completely disregarding their appearance, which naturally caught the attention of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper arrived in advance to collect the spirit stones. He carefully checked them to make sure they were in good condition before leaving, wondering to himself, "Where did these two country bumpkins get the spirit stones?"

Just as he was pondering this, the mansion's eldest son, Lingchen, walked in with a group of Danxiao Sect disciples. The shopkeeper took a look and saw that the leader was Elder Li Zhong from the Inner Sect. They were all regulars here. The shopkeeper immediately greeted them with a beaming smile, "Elder Li, Young Master Ling, please follow me to the most prestigious private room on the top floor!"

"Waiter, go and make a pot of the top-quality tea that the sect has collected!" Elder Li Zhong ordered.

"Okay!" the waiter responded and ran away quickly.

"Manager Wang, clear the area! We have booked this Linjiang Restaurant! Elder Li and my father have something to discuss!" Ling Chen said to Manager Wang in a serious tone.

"Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?" Shopkeeper Wang was a little embarrassed. After all, the guests who came here were either rich or noble, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

"Take it and do it quickly!" Ling Chen took out a bag of spirit crystals and threw it to him, then strode upstairs with Elder Li.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Shopkeeper Wang looked at the glittering spirit crystal in his hand, his face full of smiles, nodding repeatedly. He agreed and gestured to the waiter leading the way to entertain the guests well.

Shopkeeper Wang walked around the restaurant, smiling at every customer, apologizing and offering waivers, explaining that the Danxiao Sect wanted to discuss matters there. Although the guests were somewhat dissatisfied, they didn't dare to offend the Palace Master or the Danxiao Sect, and one by one they got up and left.

Shopkeeper Wang arrived at Yu Kai's private room without even knocking, striding in. Looking at Yu Kai and Xuan'er, who were enjoying their meal, he said with disdain, "My dear guests, our restaurant is booked out, so we can't accommodate you for now. Please dine elsewhere!"

"I haven't finished eating yet!" Xuan'er muttered unhappily.

"Give us back the spirit stones!" Yu Kai wiped his mouth, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"How can I return the spirit stones after receiving them? The food on your table is worth a lot of money!" Shopkeeper Wang thought secretly in his mind, but he had a fake smile on his face.

"Then go away! Don't disturb us while we eat!" Yu Kai said coldly.

"That's right, everyone else's bill is waived, but ours isn't!" Xuan'er also complained.

"You are not giving me face! This is Lingyun Sect's property!" Shopkeeper Wang's face turned cold in an instant, and murderous intent suddenly rose in his body.

"That's perfect. I know Zhong Xitian. You can ask him to come over!" Yu Kai looked straight at him, unmoved.

"How dare you call our ancestor by his name!" Shopkeeper Wang was immediately enraged and shouted outside, "Someone, kick these two fools out!"

"Yes!" Two burly men in the early stage of Venerable came in and rushed towards Yu Kai and Xuan'er with great momentum.

Yu Kai's face darkened, and with a flick of his hand, he instantly swept three nearby plates flying. The plates spun in the air like hidden weapons, striking Shopkeeper Wang and the two men directly. With a crisp "crack," the three men smashed through the private room's door, careening down from the second floor into the main hall.

There was a loud "bang" and the guests who were dining in the hall and Elder Li and others who had just sat down in the private room were startled and stood up.

"Let's go out and take a look!" Elder Li stood up and led the way out. He was also quite depressed. He had just received news that the murderer of his son had been found, and then he rushed to Yucheng Prefecture and heard that this person might be the special envoy of the Human Emperor. How could he take revenge?

They stood at the railing on the third floor and looked down. They saw more than a dozen restaurant guards supporting Shopkeeper Wang and his companions. Shopkeeper Wang and his companions had pale faces, were coughing up blood, and their eyes were filled with hatred as they stared straight at Yu Kai and his companions in the private room on the second floor.

Seeing Elder Li and his companions come out, Shopkeeper Wang quickly stood up and said to them politely, "Elder Li, Master Ling, I'm so sorry. These two country bumpkins who came from nowhere didn't even give you face and kicked us out."

"Oh! Is there anyone in Yucheng Prefecture who doesn't give face to Elder Li and me, Lingchen?" Lingchen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He turned to Elder Li and said, "Elder Li, please go and sit down first. I'll go see who is so bold!"

"I'll go with you to take a look. He must be quite powerful to be able to defeat three early-stage Venerables at the same time!" Li Zhong frowned and gestured to go together.

Soon, they arrived outside Yu Kai's private room on the second floor. Before they even entered, they heard Yu Kai's arrogant voice: "Get lost! Don't mess with me again! If you want me to leave, let Zhong Xitian come over himself!"

"How dare you!" Ling Chen was furious and looked at his guards.

The guard took out a long knife and rushed in. However, as soon as he stepped through the door, he was hit by a plate, screamed, and fell directly to the first floor.

Shopkeeper Wang and the others retreated in fear. "Even a high-ranking venerable is no match!" Shopkeeper Wang realized the seriousness of the situation, which was beyond his control. He immediately sent a message to the steward in the prefecture.

Lingchen hadn't expected his opponent to be so formidable, and his expression turned grim. Being slapped in the face on his own territory, and in front of the sect elders, was truly unacceptable. He looked at the guards beside him and said, "Tell my father what happened here!"

"Yes!" The guard responded and left.

Li Zhong stepped forward, his strength as an early Great Venerable fully revealed, causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly. He asked in a deep voice, "I wonder which friend is inside? Aren't you being too disrespectful to our Danxiao Sect by doing this?"

"The Danxiao Sect is so arrogant! First they slandered me for stealing your holy sword, and now they can't even worry about my meals?" Yu Kai's voice came out faintly.

"You came from Fentian City?" Li Zhong's face turned cold, and his murderous intent became stronger.

"Who is Master Liu from Fentian City to you?" Yu Kai and Xuan'er both became interested.

"It's you guys, what a narrow road for enemies to cross!" Li Zhong directly took out a long sword, and the disciples of Danxiao Sect behind him also immediately took out their weapons.

"Who is this person in here? It seems that he has a grudge against Elder Li Zhong, and he even dares to cause trouble in the Linjiang Restaurant!" A diners who were watching the fun discussed below.

"No matter what, he is dead. He has offended the three major forces of Danxiao Sect, Lingyun Sect and the Palace Master at the same time in Yucheng Prefecture. I'm afraid he will never be able to get out!" Someone shook his head and sighed.
