Chapter 260 The Gamble
Yang Lujia was never apprehensive of the family behind this Young Master Hao. Killing him would never make any waves in his heart. Only his father and that 'creator' could move him at the moment. Nothing else. No one else.
Lao Han, the only high-level Quasi-Holy Son of this Sacred City's Church of Light, was frightened to the extreme that he ran off from the scene with a tail between his legs. Just now, he did not feel any fluctuation in space neither did he feel someone's presence. Even if it was the archpriests in the Church of Light could not compare to this kind of unknown but overwhelming presence.
What Young Master Hao? What high-level Quasi-Holy Son?
In front of a mighty expert and the reality of this world, only strength mattered.
Therefore, he did not dare dillydally and sprinted away.
He could not let that person chase after him. He hurriedly went to seek refuge inside the Church of Light. Only then could he feel safe.
"This…" the owner muttered, extremely shocked at what just transpired.
He thought he could not have been more shocked than the power this young man bestowed him before. Who would have thought that he would give him another big kind of surprise? And this surprise was a very serious one!
It had to be known that the Hao Clan had already dominated this Sacred City. They were in a close relationship with the Church of Light because of Quasi-Holy Son Lao Han and Young Master Hao's forged friendship.
"I don't want to implicate you further, old owner, but that 'Young Master Hao' got on my nerves. If he didn't say those things, I might have considered letting him off. Besides, an ant-like him could not move him, but saying those things… he truly deserved a thousand deaths!" Yang Lujia appeared in front of the owner once more.
However, this time, his aura was not as amiable as it was before. Even the owner was taken aback and could not help but gulp in fear of getting killed by this madman here.
"I will lay out an array formation around your restaurant. With it, even if you get attacked by this so-called Hao Clan's Patriarch or even the Cardinal or Archpriest himself, they would not blow even a single dust in your restaurant," Yang Lujia said, spreading his arms while spirit stones scattered around the restaurant.
Seeing these means, the old owner did not know what to say anymore.
Too extravagant!
Even in the Sacred Region, spirit stones could be considered to be very scarce, but this man in front of him flaunted his wealth by using them so casually as though this did not mean anything to him.
Of course, his guess was true.
This truly did not mean anything to Yang Lujia.
All these high-level spirit stones, he could recollect several of them just by himself. Once he ascended, he would again collect a lot of them. These spirit stones would be very useful to him. It would contribute convenience to him when he would want to buy or purchase something. Or it could be used to pay fees when necessary.
"This formation is called the Star Destruction Array Formation! Once this is activated, it would immediately annihilate anyone below the peak Saint Emperor Realm. Thus, you do not have to worry. If they sought your presence, you can just hide here and wait for me to settle everything out. Moreover, I might come here often to eat food, so…"
With that, Yang Lujia waved his hands and a pile of beast corpses appeared in front of the old owner.
GASP!
OH MY LORD!
"This…"
The old owner was once again speechless. It felt like a cat caught his tongue.
"No need to be shocked, this was just merely a small portion of what I have. Consider this as my investment for you. Your restaurant's food are really superb. It's as if I can't part with them after I ate them…" Yang Lujia said, his eyes showing sincerity.
However, the old owner could still feel the vague killing intent from Yang Lujia's eyes. It must have something to do with what that Young Master Hao said that triggered him so much. Therefore, he did not delve into it much longer. He only wanted to breathe freely after this terrorist disappeared.
"I think that wraps things up?" Yang Lujia scanned the entire restaurant with his clenched hands on his waist. "Mn." He nodded his head and once again, disappeared from the old owner's sight.
"Look into that scroll, it contained the way how to control the array formation I arranged for your restaurant. I don't think it's that hard to comprehend," Yang Lujia left a word before his voice faded.
On the other hand, the crowd outside had long been stumped frozen by how the events transpired. They did not expect that the arrogant and dignified Young Master Hao was now dead and he was killed by someone who they did not even see!
Just how powerful was that person to be able to kill a middle-level Quasi-Holy Son?!
"Hey, guys, did you feel it? Fragrant Mine Restaurant seemed to have become sharper after Young Master Hao died!"
"Now that you say so, it seems to be so. However, how was that possible? Just what kind of existence did Fragrant Mine Restaurant encounter that even the owner completely disregarded the death of Young Master Hao?" 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
"Yeah, he didn't even step out to block the other party's attack!"
"I wonder what the Hao Clan will do now? Also, the high-level Quasi-Holy Son, Lao Han, was actually even frightened that he directly left the area without even a hint of hesitation in his movements!"
"No! This doesn't feel right! Why does Fragrant Mine Restaurant seem to have become even sharper than just earlier?!"
"What the hell happened? Although I am already a Saint King myself, I still felt somewhat suffocated by this restaurant's domineering aura! How are they going to let people eat now?!"
Little did they know that it was the old owner's comprehension that made the array formation that they did not see was getting deeper. The deeper his comprehension of the array formation, the more formidable the effects of the array formation.
But as he scanned the scroll Yang Lujia gave, the old owner was convinced! Thoroughly convinced!
Yang Lujia must be on the same level as the Holy Light Emperor himself! In fact, as old as he was, he once saw the prestige of the Holy Light Emperor, and facing that young man just now, he felt like he was even more powerful than the Holy Light Emperor himself.
Who could just make an array formation with a wave of his son?
Who could kill Young Master Hao without even going out?
This was the true demeanor of an expert and he was extremely strong!
He would never deny it! If it was before, he would feel skeptical!
But ever since he felt the symbol on his glabella burning his whole body, he always felt like he was invigorated to the extreme that as though he was already standing high above everyone else.
Thus, this gamble should be taken no matter what.
"Yes, you gambled right, old owner," Yang Lujia muttered as he strolled on the street with his original face.
He attracted a lot of people, especially the ladies. However, seeing that he had no cultivation, they immediately dismissed him. Their thoughts were that Yang Lujia was only a cripple and was not worthy of them at all, cultivators.
Yang Lujia had no aim at the moment. He stopped and looked around, but he found nothing where to start. Just as he was about to find someone to inquire, a boy and a girl approached him from behind.
"This handsome big brother… are you looking for something?" the girl asked to which Yang Lujia turned to look at her.
When he looked at the two, he was surprised. Both of them were too young to be wandering around the streets. Who gave these kids the guts to wander around in a dangerous world like this?
Upon examining their cultivation levels, he was a bit taken aback. He didn't think that both of these kids were cultivators as well. It might be because they were just too young that he held prejudice against them, but they were actually both Saint Realms.
