A small commotion!

What? Ming Yuelin was taken aback to hear this and mumbled under her breath, "Phoenix... Sovereign."

Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod "En. That's why I want you to condense the gold profound sea and accept the inheritance which will open in seven days."

Ming Yuelin squinted her eyes upon hearing this "And I need to reach Spirit profound stage before that."

She sighed in her heart and she was still hesitant because she has only one week of time. Meanwhile, the disciples who are joining the event are from powerful sects and are talented disciples who trained for months, maybe years.

Letting out a deep sigh, she rested her upper body on the table and Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle as he patted her head.

"Don't worry, you just have to surpass other disciples and finish the trials. Getting the recognition of the Phoenix Sovereign should be easy for you."

(ㅠ‸ㅠ) "That is the hardest part, Master."

"Ok, here is your food." The waitress came and placed the dishes on the table.

"Enjoy your meal."

After she left, Zhang Yuan and Ming Yuelin began to eat the food they ordered.

"Master... the secret realm, where will it open? In this city?" Ming Yuelin asked, chewing the food in her mouth.

Zhang Yuan shook his head "No, in the nearby city and since that city is already full, people came here."

Ming Yuelin smiled wryly upon hearing this 'And I have to pass through all of them to get the inheritance?'

*thud* At this time, with a loud sound, a group of people entered the restaurant, startling everyone, their presence commanding attention.

Zhang Yuan kept eating his food and Ming Yuelin raised her gaze to look at the five people wearing full black clothes, a powerful aura surrounding each of them.

Among them, is a dashing young man who looked to be in his mid twenties and Ming Yuelin squinted her eyes at seeing him.

'He looks the same age as me but is much more powerful than me. And which sect is this...?'

As they turned around, Ming Yuelin saw the large serpent drawing on the back of their clothes and she instantly recognized them.

She mumbled quitely "It is the Black Serpent sect. The strongest sect in this Northern Bei kingdom."

Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod "And the candidate is also good. He is in the 9th level of Spirit profound stage, perfect to enter the inheritance ground."

(˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥) "Master, why are you praising that guy? Why are you cheating on your disciple?"

Zhang Yuan smiled amusedly "I am not praising him. It's just that if he breaks through one more level, he can't enter the secret realm... so I said he is in the right stage."

Ming Yuelin sulked her lips and continued to eat their meal.

As they were eating, a group of people who were eating at the nearby table stood up and prepared to leave.

Walking past them, one of the men suddenly stumbled and fell on Zhang Yuan.

*thud* Zhang Yuan just sat there still as the man fell on his left shoulders "Haha, Sorry... Daoist, my legs slipped." the man apologized and quickly reached out to Zhang Yuan's left hand to smootly pull out the ring from his ring finger.

But before the man could touch his ring, Zhang Yuan moved his hand, grabbing the wrist of that man with his left hand.

*treek* A crisp sound echoed through the restaurant, followed by the man's agonized scream "ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! MY HAND!"

*thud* The man fell to his knees, his eyes trembling in terrible pain as Zhang Yuan continued to twist the man's with his left hand, while he continued eating with his right hand.

Hearing the scream, everyone turned their heads to the table and Ming Yuelin lifted her head looking at the man growling on the floor.

*treeek* Zhang Yuan continued twisting the man's wrist while eating his food and the men who were with him scrambled away from there, seeing their friend getting caught.

"Arghh!! AHhh Ahhh I-it... Daoist.. please let me go, it's my fault... ARGHHHH!!!" he screamed in pain, rolling down on the floor in agony.

*treek* With a sudden snap sound, the man's bones in his right arm were broken to pieces and blood gushed out from the skin of his left arm.

"URGHH!! URGH!! AHAHAH!!" Zhang Yuan let go of his hand and the man stumbled on the floor clutching his left arm in excruciating pain.

The people in the restaurant didn't bat an eye at the man or show concern, as they are cultivators who have killed people before and know that this is a cruel world.

At this time, a man quickly rushed over to the table and saw Zhang Yuan casually eating his food.

"Sorry, esteemed customer... you had to experience this situation. I will soon call the guards to clear the thief." the restaurant manager said with a bow.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and the manager smiled "Thankyou for your understanding, Esteemed customer."

Hei Shin, who was one of the core disciples of the Black Sepent sect looked over at the divinely handsome man and asked in a faint voice, "Elder, what is his cultivation?"

The Elder took a look at Zhang Yuan and shook his head "I don't know."

Hei Shin raised an eyebrow "Is he more powerful than you? You can't see through him?"

The Elder muttered, "No, there is not a single spark of profound energy in his body. It's as if he is a normal human, but he has this aura of elegance around him."

"I wonder if he is truly a cultivator. And that's why that thief should have tried stealing from him, thinking he was a normal human."

Of course, Zhang Yuan doesn't have cultivation... because he has never cultivated in his life.

He is, uh... just so damn powerful.

Soon the guards came to collect the garbage and took it from there.

Ming Yuelin took a deep breath and glimpsed at the goldenish silver ring in Zhang Yuan's finger "He tried to steal your space ring, Master?"

Space ring? Zhang Yuan smiled faintly. The ring is actually a gift given to him by all his wives. He has combined all of the rings they presented into one and wearing it.

It has a bit of a life essence of all his women.

 He nodded his head "Yeah..."

After completing their meal, Zhang Yuan and Ming Yuelin came out of the resturant and strolled around the shops a little.

As they were walking, a soft smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's lips and he turned his gaze to the tallest building nearby.

On the top floor, a woman opened the wooden door and a sudden gust of wind let her silver hair dance in the air.

Her cold silver eyes glanced down at the stores and as her gaze fell on the handsome man in his white robes, her eyes shook.

Huh?
