914: Chapter 0914: A Bad Premonition 914: Chapter 0914: A Bad Premonition Long Fei uncorked the bottle, and the rich aroma of fifty-year-old Maotai quickly filled the entire room.

Zhang Qingyang sniffed the air and exclaimed in admiration, “What a strong fragrance of liquor!”

The two junior brothers behind him also frowned, showing a hint of surprise.

Long Fei took some cups and filled them up for everyone.

Shortly thereafter, the restaurant’s server came up and brought over a dozen dishes of the establishment’s signature cuisine.

The head manager, who had taken a pill, had his head bandaged and was already recovering.

Trembling with fear, he followed behind and then knelt down before Long Fei and Chu Feng, bowing repeatedly as he beseeched, “Please spare our lives, young heroes!

I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai and offended you both.

I beg you two to be magnanimous and hold no more grudges against this lowly one.”

He had thought that with a prince and princess’s visit, they could easily deal with the two of them.

But to his surprise, they had chased off the prince and princess.

Now, as they were ordering food from the servers, he feared that Long Fei was deliberately making things difficult for them.

In desperation, the local hotel owner pushed the head manager out to stabilize the situation with Long Fei and Chu Feng.

Consequently, the two of them received special treatment.

The restaurant’s special wild delicacy from Mount Hua came one dish after another, causing Zhang Qingyang to frown in wonder.

He asked the head manager, “Where is this golden carp from?

We’ve never had this before?”

The head manager hurriedly explained, “This fish is the Brocade Pearl Fish, farmed from the Mount Hua Goddess Pool.

Our restaurant usually serves it only when hosting princes, and it’s not sold individually on normal days.”

“That explains it.”

Zhang Qingyang smiled, cupped his fists towards Long Fei, and said, “Then I am benefiting from both of your good fortunes, brothers.”

Long Fei and Chu Feng smiled back and directed the head manager, “Go attend to your duties!

We won’t hold this matter against you.

Just make sure you serve this young master well for the next couple of days.”

“Of course, of course!”

Relieved as if pardoned, the head manager quickly left.

Once he was out the door, he called in craftsmen to repair the doors of two top-grade rooms.

The artisans were descendants of the Mo Family, and fixing a door was like playing for them.

At the table, Zhang Qingyang lifted his cup to toast with Long Fei and Chu Feng.

After savoring the flavor, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Excellent liquor!

Soft on the palate, rich in taste, spicy yet not harsh, with a pervasive fragrance like a winding dragon and snake, truly a rare gem among drinks!”

Long Fei set down his cup and smiled to himself, thinking how pitiable the people of this world were.

Having never drunk liquor with a high proof, suddenly tasting such a drink would, of course, leave a deep impression.

In fact, Maotai was made with ordinary grains from that world and did not possess the spiritual energy of this world’s liquors.

He then probed Zhang Qingyang for information, “Brother Zhang, we actually came here wandering, and just happened to encounter the Four Great Sects of South Yangtze laying siege to the Mystic Yin Sect.

There’s something we don’t quite understand.

The Four Great Sects are, after all, prestigious like our Divine Sword Sect, so why would you quarrel with a group of female cultivators?”

Digesting the swirling alcohol in his stomach, Zhang Qingyang answered seriously, “Fellow cultivators, you are not aware that the current Sect Master of Mystic Yin Sect, Dan Fei, is the former Sect Master’s wife of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.

The Alchemy Cauldron Sect had become sworn enemies with Mount Shu and after their extermination, Dan Fei has always been seeking opportunities for revenge.

She not only colludes with wicked individuals from outside the proper path but has also made enemies with our Four Great Sects.

That is why we want to uproot them completely.

All the way from South Yangtze, we have joined forces to eradicate the Mystic Yin Sect.”

Long Fei and Chu Feng exchanged glances, their hearts stirred, finally confirming their suspicions.

The Sect Master of Mystic Yin Sect was indeed Wang Xiaoya’s mother.

If that was the case, Wang Xiaoya was likely kidnapped by Dan Fei.

Bald Dog, standing to the side, continued to fill everyone’s cups with wine.

Zhang Qingyang politely called out, “This brother here speaks so little, why not join us for the meal?”

At that moment, Bald Dog and the Ground Rat Demon King were scheming behind the scenes about how to devour these few fellows before them.

They weren’t interested in eating food, but rather in flesh.

Long Fei introduced with a smile, “While we were on the road, we eradicated a demon king’s lair on a mountain.

My two brothers were wounded by demons, poisoned by Demonic Qi, and are not in a good condition to dine with us.”

Zhang Qingyang suddenly understood, “Ah, I see.

I knew there was something off about these two brothers.”

He had actually noticed earlier and thought that these two were demon servants under Long Fei’s control.

In this world, it wasn’t anything special for cultivators to domesticate demon servants.

Long Fei, unaware of the situation, didn’t want Bald Dog to expose themselves, so he explained it this way.

He could have admitted their identities, and Zhang Qingyang wouldn’t have been surprised.

“Sword Sect of Divine Sword Sect keeps themselves out of worldly affairs, and seeing the two Taoist friends today proved it.

It’s truly a blessing for the world that the Imperial Family has the support of the Sword Sect of Divine Sword Sect.”

Zhang Qingyang sipped his fine wine, continuously expressing his admiration.

Long Fei and Chu Feng frowned.

They didn’t know much about the internal affairs of the Sword Sect of Divine Sword Sect and the Imperial Family, so they didn’t respond.

Chu Feng changed the subject and asked Zhang Qingyang, “I’ve heard that the Four Great Sects have surrounded Mystic Yin Sect for several days now, when do you plan to launch the general attack?”

Zhang Qingyang hesitated, as such confidential information wasn’t to be shared with outsiders.

Long Fei deliberately said with a smile, “If it’s inconvenient for Brother Zhang to say, then let’s not talk about it.

My brother here just wants to take the opportunity to find a wife in the chaos up the mountain, so that’s why we’re asking about the timing.”

“Oh, I see!”

Zhang Qingyang laughed, “Chu my friend, you indeed have a way with life, I admire you, truly.

I won’t hide it from you two; tomorrow is the day all Four Great Sects will act in unison.

We’ll meet at the foothills and then launch an assault on the main peak of Mount Hua together.

You two brothers could take this chance to head up, as Mystic Yin Sect has plenty of beauties, snatching a wife wouldn’t be difficult.”

Long Fei and Chu Feng laughed along, bantering with Zhang Qingyang into the evening.

Inside the house, five men and two demons drank more than twenty bottles of Maotai.

As cultivators, they could easily dissipate the effects of alcohol.

But none of them did so, letting the alcohol rush to their Divine Sea, enjoying the pleasure of drunkenness.

After dark, someone from across called Zhang Qingyang away, saying his master needed him for a meeting.

Zhang Qingyang then bid farewell to Long Fei and the others with cupped fists, stumbling off with his two fellow disciples.

It was apparent that his standing in Dragon-Tiger Mountain was not low, as all the disciples treated him with great respect.

After he left, the four sobered up and sat together to discuss their plans.

Bald Dog said, “With all Four Great Sects making their move this time, there’s likely to be several old Nascent Soul Realm guys showing up.

Master, if you want to be an enemy of the Four Great Sects, you’d better weigh your options carefully.”

The Ground Rat Demon King smirked and said, “Why would our master be so foolish?

It’s perfect to loot a burning house, why make enemies with the Four Great Sects?”

Bald Dog gave it a glare and said, “What do you know?

Our master’s little wife is likely up in the mountains, and she might even be the daughter of the Sect Master of Mystic Yin Sect!”

“Is that so?”

The Ground Rat Demon King’s large buck teeth wobbled, and it too began advising Long Fei, “Master, Brother Dog is right.

We need to plan this carefully and can’t be reckless!”

Chu Feng took a sip of his drink and asked curiously, “How high is the cultivation level of the experts from each sect?”

Bald Dog explained, “The Sect Masters of each sect are usually at the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage.

The more formidable elders are at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

It’s said there are Grand Elders in the Soul Ascension Stage who don’t venture out because they are of great age and have been in closed-door cultivation.

With the recent merging of the two worlds, some nature’s spiritual energy has leaked.

It’s probably even more difficult than before for them to make a breakthrough.”

Chu Feng stared at Long Fei, and they smirked at each other.

Bald Dog and the Ground Rat Demon King watched their grins and both had a bad feeling.
