"Ah! Ah!" Just as everyone was talking, a series of shrill screams suddenly rang out, tearing through the noise in the restaurant.
As soon as the disciples of Danxiao Sect rushed forward, they all fell down from the private room on the second floor in the blink of an eye. Everyone was terrified and retreated one after another.
Then, Li Zhong fell from the second floor, sword in hand, his body landing on the ground, stumbling backwards. Everyone saw half a plate stuck in his shoulder, blood gushing out like a fountain.
"Elder Li!" Ling Chen didn't dare to stay upstairs any longer. He jumped down directly from the building, quickly came to Li Zhong, and took out the healing pills for him with trembling hands.
"Go away, I'm fine!" Li Zhong shouted angrily, shoving Ling Chen aside. With a powerful jolt, the plate stuck in his shoulder flew off with a whoosh, then pierced the pillar next to Shopkeeper Wang with a snap. Shopkeeper Wang shuddered, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He had worked in the restaurant for many years and had known countless people, but he hadn't expected to misjudge him this time. This young man was so formidable that even Li Zhong, an early-stage Great Venerable, and a dignified inner sect elder of the Danxiao Sect were no match for him. It seemed that after this incident, his job as shopkeeper was over.
"Kill!" Li Zhong roared, rushed out quickly with a long sword in his hand, and headed straight for Yu Kai's private room to kill.
"Whoosh!" A dinner plate flew out of the private room, spilling its juices. Elder Li, attempting to dodge, was unable to do so. With a "puff," the plate pierced through his chest and shot directly into the second floor across the street. With a "boom," the private room exploded, sending splinters flying everywhere.
Li Zhong looked at his chest, his face filled with disbelief. His body also crashed down at this moment, and his soul dissipated.
"Elder Li!" Ling Chen and the injured Danxiao Sect disciples quickly ran to his body and shouted loudly, tears welling up in their eyes.
At this moment, a steady, heavy sound of footsteps could be heard outside. The diners who had been watching the excitement made way for them. Countless powerful armored soldiers rushed in, standing apart on both sides, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Lingchen's face was filled with rage. He had originally intended to curry favor with Elder Li of the Danxiao Sect, but he hadn't expected to witness his death here. He glared fiercely at Yu Kaiya, then looked at the Palace Master Ling Yun, who was striding ahead, the Linjiang Restaurant's Manager Qin Hai, and several of the city defense army's great commanders. Suddenly, his confidence surged, and he shouted at Lingyun, "Dad, the thieves upstairs killed Elder Li Zhong!"
Ling Yun's face instantly turned gloomy. He first glanced at the tragically dead Li Zhong, then at the injured Danxiao Sect disciple, and said coldly: "For so many years, no one has ever dared to kill the elders of my Danxiao Sect, let alone the elders of the inner sect!" His voice was icy, and murderous intent filled the air, as if to freeze the entire restaurant.
"Pa!" Qin Hai, having learned what had happened from Shopkeeper Wang, angrily slapped him. Shopkeeper Wang clutched his swollen cheek, not daring to utter a single sound. Qin Hai took two steps forward, unleashing a powerful aura that shook the very air. He coldly demanded, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my Linjiang Restaurant? And even murder a Danxiao Sect elder here!"
"You, Linjiang Restaurant, are bullying customers. Not only did you kick me out, but you also refused to return my spirit stones!" Yu Kai's voice came from the second floor. His tone was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable momentum. "I'm teaching Zhong Xitian a lesson. Do you have any objections?"
Qin Hai frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know our ancestor?"
"I know him. You can ask him if I'm in charge, right?" Yu Kai's voice was filled with contempt.
"Then how do you explain killing my Danxiao Sect elder?" Palace Lord Ling Yun directly released the pressure of the peak Great Venerable, and crushed towards the private room where Yu Kai was like a tsunami, as if to crush him into powder.
"He raised a son who oppressed the good people, and falsely accused me of stealing their holy sword. He even colluded with the government to have me wanted. What do you think, should he be killed?" Yu Kai's voice was still flat, but the terrifying pressure of the peak of the Great Venerable was easily dispelled by his flat sound waves, like a breeze blowing across the water.
Ling Yun's pressure was broken, and his body retreated uncontrollably. He frowned, having guessed the identity of the person upstairs, and immediately sent a message.
"How dare you harm an official appointed by the imperial court!" Several commanders with great strength drew their weapons and rushed directly to the second floor.
"Whoosh!" Several more dinner plates flew out, and the commanders who had just rushed to the second floor were directly hit by the dinner plates. The dinner plates pierced into their bodies, and several people fell down together, and the blood dyed the floor red.
"Kill!" Ling Yun didn't dare to delay and rushed forward with a long sword in hand.
Yu Kai snorted coldly and slammed the table. The wine glass on the table jumped up, and he swept it away casually. The wine glass was like a shot, piercing Ling Yun's forehead with a bang.
"Ah!" Ling Yun screamed and fell directly down.
"Dad!" Lingchen exclaimed, rushing forward to hug him, and quickly retreating several steps before steadying himself. He saw that Lingyun was already dead, with a bloody hole the size of a wine glass on his forehead, and blood was pouring out.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. Even Qin Hai, who possessed peak Grand Venerable strength, retreated in fear. He thought to himself, "He was able to easily defeat several high-level Grand Venerable commanders, and even killed Ling Yun, who was at the peak of Grand Venerable, with a single blow. This person might actually know their ancestor and be a veteran powerhouse!"
Qin Hai looked at Shopkeeper Wang coldly, wishing he could chop him to death. However, he also didn't want to tarnish the reputation of the Danxiao Sect, so he said in a deep voice, "Since you know my ancestor, and it was my Linjiang Restaurant that was at fault first, you may leave! As for your grudge with the Danxiao Sect, you can resolve it outside!"
