The shopkeeper and the waiter were almost scared to death seeing this scene!

However, since things had come to this, there was nothing they could say.

Having run a shop in Immortal County for so many years, they had seen plenty of brash youngsters like Gu Chen who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

In the end, they were either beaten to death or tortured to death; they basically never had a good outcome!

As they watched Gu Chen's retreating back as he went downstairs, the shopkeeper and the waiter had already imagined Gu Chen's tragic death.

"Shopkeeper, what should we do now?"

Facing the waiter's question, the shopkeeper actually didn't know how to answer.

He could only sigh silently and mutter, "Alas, everyone has their own fate!"

"I think this young man is going to perish here today."

When the shopkeeper and the waiter went upstairs to look for Gu Chen.

Chen Xiongfei and his three brothers actually found a table, sat down, and started drinking and eating meat as if they were back in their own homes!

In fact, Chen Xiongfei didn't care about the guy who died last night.

Even though that person was from Thunderclap Hall, he was just a small fry, not worth mentioning.

The reason Chen Xiongfei had made such a big fuss coming to the inn was simply to show off his power and extort some benefits.

Moreover, with the Rookie Competition about to start, if Chen Xiongfei didn't make some noise now.

Wouldn't Thunderclap Hall be looked down upon by other sects or rogue cultivators?

As Chen Xiongfei thought this, he suddenly felt a very strong killing intent coming from behind him!

This killing intent was so fierce that Chen Xiongfei's entire body broke out in goosebumps!

"Who's there!"

Chen Xiongfei immediately looked behind him, only to find nothing.

On the stairs behind him stood a young man who looked very frail.

Seeing this, Chen Xiongfei was dumbfounded.

Because he had indeed felt a very strong killing intent just now.

He had even thought that a peerless master or a ferocious beast had suddenly appeared behind him.

And in the end, it was just a brat who hadn't even grown all his hair?

Chen Xiongfei didn't think much of it, assuming he had accidentally hallucinated.

So, with an arrogant demeanor, he yelled at Gu Chen, "Brat, what are you looking at!"

Facing Chen Xiongfei's angry roar, Gu Chen's face showed almost no emotional change.

He still stood quietly on the stairs, his eyes coldly fixed on Chen Xiongfei.

You must know that in this area, no one dared to meet the eyes of anyone from Thunderclap Hall for more than three seconds.

Yet Gu Chen, not knowing life from death, kept staring at Chen Xiongfei, which made Chen Xiongfei extremely displeased!

Before Chen Xiongfei could say anything more, one of his subordinates stood up.

As one of them stood up, the large build of the man instantly exuded a strong sense of pressure.

He pointed at Gu Chen and directly cursed, "Damn it, brat, are you deaf?"

"Are you f***ing crazy, staring at our boss like that?"

"If you're sick, come over here, and I'll cure you!"

However, in the next second, Gu Chen's right hand moved slightly, and the stair railing beside him instantly vibrated violently.

A piece of wood broke off from the railing and flew straight towards the burly man!

Gu Chen's movement was extremely fast. The burly man noticed Gu Chen's action but had no time to react!

In an instant, he felt like something was missing from his thigh.

Looking down, the burly man found that the piece of wood had actually pierced through his thigh!

At this moment, a shocking bloody hole appeared on his thigh!

In a flash, intense pain surged from all directions like a tide.

The burly man fell to the ground, clutching his profusely bleeding thigh and roaring, "Ah! It hurts so much!"

Seeing this, Chen Xiongfei and his remaining two subordinates were dumbfounded!

Because they hadn't expected Gu Chen to dare to attack them directly!

This made Chen Xiongfei extremely angry.

It was one thing that Gu Chen didn't step aside when he first saw them.

Now he even dared to make a move!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiongfei immediately slammed the table and stared at Gu Chen, saying, "Brat, you're quite arrogant, aren't you?"

"Do you even know who I am? You dare lay a hand on my men!"

However, Gu Chen remained standing there with a cold expression, asking word by word, "Was the guy from last night from your Thunderclap Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiongfei immediately understood.

This young man before him was precisely the murderer who had killed a Thunderclap Hall disciple last night!

Realizing this, Chen Xiongfei became even more enraged.

He pointed at Gu Chen and said, "So it was you, kid, who killed our Thunderclap Hall disciple?"

"I thought you would have tucked tail and run by now. I didn't expect you to still have the guts to stand here!"

If it were anyone else, they would have been scared out of their wits by Chen Xiongfei's words.

But Gu Chen remained composed and said, "That guy was making so much noise last night, like he hadn't slept with a woman in ages."

"I kindly went over to remind him, but he cursed at me instead."

"I just lightly threw a punch, and I didn't expect people from your Thunderclap Hall to be so weak; he died right away."

As he said these words, Gu Chen's tone was incredibly calm.

It was as if accidentally killing someone was as simple as an everyday occurrence!

To the point where Chen Xiongfei felt Gu Chen was utterly lawless in his arrogance!

While Chen Xiongfei was still thinking this, Gu Chen unhurriedly walked down the stairs.

"This matter isn't actually that serious."

"As long as you apologize to me, I won't pursue it further."

Upon hearing Gu Chen say this, Chen Xiongfei could hardly believe his ears.

He looked at Gu Chen with an incredulous expression.

"Kid, are you still drunk?"

"You killed someone from my Thunderclap Hall, and I haven't even demanded anything from you yet."

"And now you want us to apologize? Isn't that completely upside down?"

Gu Chen directly sat down at a table in the hall and said coldly, "So, you're not planning to apologize for this?"

Chen Xiongfei thought Gu Chen was outrageously arrogant and that he absolutely had to teach Gu Chen a lesson!

Immediately, Chen Xiongfei signaled to the two subordinates beside him.

In an instant, these two subordinates charged towards Gu Chen!

The manager and the waiter were peeking at everything happening downstairs from the turn of the stairs.

They were sure Gu Chen was doomed!

But in the next second, their expressions froze on their faces.

Gu Chen lightly raised his right hand, and a gust of palm wind struck one of the burly men.
