Everyone Terrified, Chen Jie Seeks to Challenge Liu Yi

Liu Yi scanned the restaurant and saw a diverse mix of people: Daoist priests, Buddhist monks, Devil Cultivator, as well as Rogue Cultivator and experts from various cultivation sects.

Many of them were elders or even patriarchs of cultivation sects in the Eastern Desolation whom he had seen on TikTok.

He also saw Chen Jie, Bai Qianqian, Ye Qingxue, and Xu Cheng'an, who had already broken through to the Void Return Realm (Dao Soul Realm).

Bai Qianqian and Xu Cheng'an have deep ties with the Xin State, so it's not surprising that they came to help this time.

Ye Qingxue's purpose in coming was either to obtain Energy Points or to lend a helping hand to the Xin State.

However, she earns a lot from her sword dance performances on live stream, so she shouldn't be short of Energy Points; presumably, she earns mostly the latter.

After all, Xie Tong once said that Ye Qingxue had once persuaded the Emperor of Jin State to reduce taxes for the people, a kindness that is truly rare among cultivators;

Chen Jie, on the other hand, came purely for the Energy Points.

Liu Yi's gaze then fell on Cao Yang and Li Ming, who were facing each other. Judging from their auras, it was not difficult to tell that they were both at the Late Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

This Li Ming is quite interesting. As Devil Cultivator, he actually dares to confront the Evil Soul Hall, which also belongs to the demonic path, for the sake of Energy Points.

What's even more intriguing is that he kept talking about upholding justice and acting on behalf of Heaven.

Seeing Liu Yi's interest, Yang Jingxing immediately began to introduce:

"The one in the black robe is Li Ming, Rogue Cultivator whose cultivation has reached the Late Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm."

Although he was Devil Cultivator, he never got involved in the conflict between the righteous and the demonic.

Another is Cao Yang, the patriarch of the Golden Spirit Pavilion. In his youth, he encountered Li Ming, who was fighting demons and upholding justice, but was defeated by him.

After that, whenever the two met, a fight was inevitable.

Liu Yi nodded to indicate that he understood, his gaze still fixed on the two figures facing each other.

At this moment, Zhou Kang had already noticed the unusual activity in the restaurant, and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Cao Yang and Li Ming were both powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, while he was merely at the Early Divine Acupoint Realm. How could he possibly be qualified to mediate a fight?

But since things had come to this, as the officer in charge of recruitment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to persuade them:

"Please calm down, gentlemen. Everything can be discussed. Let's not ruin our harmony."

Li Ming snorted coldly, "I won't bother with you today, so as not to put Fellow Daoist Zhou in a difficult position."

Cao Yang responded with a cold snort, his eyes still sharp. "We'll settle old scores after this is over."

The two glared at each other, their tense auras instantly dissipating. They then turned around, found seats, and ignored each other.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, everyone lowered their heads and began to enjoy the Spirit Cuisine in front of them.

Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out, "Oh no! Isn't that the jinx Mei Kong? What's he doing here?"

The exclamation was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly startling the cultivators present, who all looked up and around.

The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the restaurant entrance, where Mei Kong was standing.

"Oh no! How could the jinx appear here? We're doomed!"

"This troublemaker actually applied for a job? Doesn't he know his own limitations? Why is he here to cause us trouble?"

"This guy's bad luck is just terrifyingly bizarre; we're all going to get dragged down with him."

"With so many experts here, destroying the Evil Soul Hall wouldn't have been difficult, but with him arriving... I'm afraid we'll all be wiped out!"

"Damn it! How could this happen? Am I really going to die before even getting started?"

Whispers arose one after another, and the people present instantly became uneasy.

Upon hearing the crowd's discussion, Mei Kong's expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

He raised his hand to stroke his long beard, his posture upright like a pine tree, exuding an air of otherworldly grace, and said in a clear voice:

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry. I have control over my bad luck and it certainly won't affect anyone else."

However, the cultivators present were all full of doubt and did not believe his words at all.

After all, Mei Kong's shamelessness was as famous as his bad luck, and his reputation had long been known throughout the cultivation Immortal Realm.

Seeing this, Zhou Kang quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, loudly explaining:

"Rest assured, seniors, Senior Mei's bad luck is indeed under control!"

He had already moved into the State Guest House and had never bothered anyone else.

"Look, Senior Yang and Senior Liu are standing right next to Senior Mei, and they're both perfectly fine."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators who had already stood up and were about to flee all stopped in their tracks.

They discovered that Liu Yi and Yang Jingxing were indeed standing side by side with Mei Kong, their expressions calm and without the slightest fear.

"I never expected that the Demonic Daoist Yang Jingxing and Liu Yi would also apply for the job!"

They must know how terrible Mei Kong is, this jinx. Since even they aren't afraid, it seems Mei Kong can truly control bad luck.

"Thank goodness! Luckily, I can control my bad luck, otherwise I would have been in big trouble today!"

"I was so scared just now, I thought I was going to be in big trouble."

"That Liu Yi can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yang Jingxing and Mei Kong, and even seem to regard him as the leader, shows that he is definitely not simple."

"Isn't that obvious? Liu Yi, even at the Dao Soul Realm, could kill Void Return Realm in one move. How could he be an ordinary cultivator?"

The murmurs gradually subsided, and the panic on everyone's faces faded, replaced by curiosity and apprehension.

Liu Yi saw Bai Qianqian waving at him, glanced around, and saw that there were still empty seats at her table, so he nodded slightly.

He turned to look at Yang Jingxing and Mei Kong and asked:

"Fellow Daoists, I plan to go to Bai Qianqian's table. Would you like to come along?"

Mei Kong nodded first. "This humble Daoist will also go to Fellow Daoist Bai's table."

Yang Jingxing nodded in agreement, "I will go with you."

Liu Yi walked to Bai Qianqian's table, his gaze sweeping over Ye Qingxue, Xu Cheng'an, and Chen Jie, and greeted them with a smile:

"Qianqian, fellow Daoists, I apologize for disturbing you today."

Bai Qianqian smiled and said, "Big brother, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to come too."

Xu Cheng'an, Ye Qingxue, and Chen Jie responded with smiles, "Friend Liu, it's been a long time! Your charm remains as undiminished as ever."

After saying this, Bai Qianqian and the other three bowed to Yang Jingxing and Mei Kong, saying, "Greetings, seniors."

Yang Jingxing and Mei Kong nodded slightly, their tone gentle. "Four friendly Daoists, we apologize for disturbing you today."

After Liu Yi and the other two took their seats, someone immediately served them Spirit Cuisine.

During the meal, everyone enjoyed the food while chatting about all sorts of things.

A sudden glint of fighting spirit flashed in Chen Jie's eyes as he looked at Liu Yi and said loudly:

"I wonder what level of cultivation Fellow Daoist Liu has reached? I would like to spar with you; what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqian, Yang Jingxing, and Mei Kong all showed strange expressions and glanced at Chen Jie in unison.

Where did he get the audacity to challenge Liu Yi? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Liu Yi glanced at Chen Jie, a faint smile playing on his lips, "I'm now at the Dao Body Realm. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie's face suddenly stiffened, his pupils widened, and his expression was full of disbelief.

Over the past ten years, he has barely managed to break through to the Middle Stage of the Dharma Body Realm (Middle Stage of the Void Return Realm) in the weapon cultivation system by relying on Energy Points obtained from live streaming and self- Artifact Cultivation System arduous training.

But Liu Yi's progress was terrifyingly fast; he had already entered the Dao Body Realm.

How can we even compare?

With Liu Yi's incredible combat power, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from him, it would be a complete humiliation for me.

He quickly waved his hand, his tone tinged with bitterness. "I'm not competing anymore! I'm not competing anymore!"

The gap in cultivation levels is too large. Let's talk again when I catch up to your level!
