Highest Specifications

Soon!

Outside the Myriad Fragrance Pavilion, a chorus of shrill screams rose and fell.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the screams gradually subsided.

The so-called Lingering Death was to die by a thousand cuts.

These thousand cuts, indeed, not a single one was discounted.

After their deaths, the few people didn't even get a complete corpse; the Sect Master had said they were to be fed to dogs, so they couldn't be pecked by chickens.

Inside the restaurant, everyone was stunned by the scene of the Lingering Death.

"Who would have thought that the Seven Tyrants of Fierce Tiger, who dominated Liehai City, would meet such an end?"

Someone murmured, looking at Zhong Qing's figure with reverence.

Many people showed looks of lingering fear.

Earlier, when Shi Meng and his group made their move, some people even felt regret that such a fat sheep had been snatched away.

However, now they were incredibly grateful, fortunately, it was the Seven Tyrants of Fierce Tiger of Liehai City who made the first move.

Otherwise, it would probably be them who would be cut into a thousand pieces and then have their bodies devoured by a pack of dogs after death.

Behind Zhong Qing, Mei's posture became even more hunched.

The fate of Shi Meng's group reminded him of himself.

Both groups had offended Zhong Qing; the scenarios were so similar.

Fortunately, he was a bit luckier.

He got a chance to submit.

Otherwise, his corpse would probably be cold by now.

For a moment, his mind was quite complex.

He even felt deep gratitude towards Zhong Qing for giving him a chance to live.

People, you see, are afraid of comparisons.

With this comparison, the difference became clear.

And the Disciples of Qingfeng Temple, who were at the same table as Zhong Qing, were not greatly disturbed by the deaths of Shi Meng and others.

This was because they knew that as long as Zhong Qing wanted to act, those few people would have no chance of survival.

Not to mention anything else, even Mei, who was behind Zhong Qing, was not someone they could contend with.

What truly surprised them was the Wuliang Sect Sect Master's attitude towards Zhong Qing.

The Wuliang Sect had dominated Liehai City for ten thousand years.

Sect Master Zhou Tong's cultivation of Three Yang Second Realm was no secret.

Yet, such an existence was actually so respectful towards Zhong Qing.

Originally, they only thought that Zhong Qing was most likely a master of Three Yang First Realm.

But now it seemed that even though they had tried their best to overestimate Zhong Qing's strength, they still underestimated him in the end.

The other party was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

The appearance of Shi Meng's group was more like a farce.

After the farce, what remained was another topic for casual conversation.

On this side, after the Wuliang Sect people had executed Shi Meng and his group.

Only then did the Sect Master respectfully say to Zhong Qing.

"Senior, those dog-like things deserved to die; they have now been punished."

"I wonder if Senior would be willing to move, so that the Wuliang Sect can fulfill its duties as a host."

Zhong Qing pondered for a moment and agreed.

He was going to Central Province, but he only knew a general direction; the specific route was still unclear.

Since the Wuliang Sect was a major local force and had been established here for many years, they should know more.

It was a good opportunity to rest for a night and ask for directions.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and said, "In that case, I appreciate your trouble."

"However, I have a few companions with me; I wonder if they could also come along and bother you for a bit."

Zhou Tong quickly said, "Since they are Senior's friends, our Wuliang Sect naturally welcomes them greatly."

As he spoke, he turned to Ou Zishu and the others and said, "I wonder if you all would grace us with your presence and be guests at the Wuliang Sect."

These words moved Ou Zishu and the others somewhat.

If it were normally.

A Sect of the Wuliang Sect's caliber, let alone inviting them as guests, wouldn't even give them a proper look.

However, now that the Sect Master personally invited them as guests, it made them feel somewhat flattered.

"Sect Master is too kind!"

"It is our honor to be invited by the Sect Master."

Ou Zishu quickly responded.

After a round of pleasantries, the group then set off, heading back to the Wuliang Sect.

And as the entire Wuliang Sect retreated, many of the original diners at the Myriad Fragrance Pavilion collapsed onto the ground, looking exhausted.

There was no help for it; the Wuliang Sect's presence was too overwhelming.

So much so that they dared not be too presumptuous.

Moreover, some people had previously mocked Zhong Qing and his group.

The life and death of Shi Meng's group had greatly stimulated their young minds.

They were afraid of being targeted for retaliation.

Fortunately, the other party did not bother with them.

For a moment, some even felt a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.

At the same time, this incident today also served as a reminder to them: trouble comes from the mouth.

Then someone surprisingly discovered that from this day on, many cautious individuals appeared in Liehai City.

They would not easily greet someone's entire Family without first thoroughly investigating their ancestry.

Their quality directly improved by a notch.

Shi Meng and the others would never have imagined.

That their demise could contribute to improving the quality of Liehai City.

If they knew this in the afterlife, would they feel comforted or aggrieved?

...

And as the Wuliang Sect Sect Master Zhou Tong returned to the Sect with his mighty retinue, he immediately ordered a grand banquet to be prepared.

It was to be prepared with the highest specifications.

To be honest, not everyone could understand Zhou Tong's arrangements.

At least, his eldest Disciple, who received his orders, was somewhat puzzled.

He looked at Zhong Qing, who was not even as old as himself.

He asked doubtfully, "Master, who is this brother?"

"Is it not too extravagant and wasteful to use the Sect's highest-spec banquet?"

It wasn't that he had any objections to Zhong Qing.

The Wuliang Sect's highest-spec banquet was the Dragon and Phoenix Dance Banquet.

The ingredients selected were all top-tier.

Those that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the water.

The ingredients not only had to be fresh but also had to be taken from powerful exotic beasts.

Some were even rare and invaluable medicinal treasures.

A banquet of this caliber, even for a Sect of the Wuliang Sect's size, could only be held once every ten years.

It was always used to entertain extremely distinguished guests.

Or to entertain some Hidden Families.

Now, his Master actually wanted to use this banquet to entertain Zhong Qing, which left him both puzzled and somewhat confused.

However, Zhou Tong did not answer his doubts.

Instead, he angrily reprimanded him in a loud voice.

"Presumptuous! What is your status, and what is Senior's status? How can you call him brother?"

"Do not speak further; hurry and prepare!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Qing, revealing a fawning and solicitous smile, saying, "My Disciple is ignorant of etiquette and has offended Senior; I hope Senior will forgive him."

Zhong Qing waved his hand: "It's fine!"

This gesture greatly astonished Zhou Tong's eldest Disciple.

In his memory, he had never seen his Master act like this before.

Previously, when his Master interacted with those Hidden Families or the top figures of the Northern Region, he only showed a friendly demeanor.

But now, he actually saw fawning and solicitousness on his Master's face.

This young man seemed even younger than himself; why was he worth such treatment from his Master?

Could it be that the other party had some monstrous background?

For a moment, his heart trembled.

He dared not let his mind wander any further.

He quickly went down to arrange for people to prepare the banquet.
