Chapter 696

"Since it's our first meeting, I didn't prepare any gifts for you, so I'll treat you to a meal. Order whatever you want." Zi Chen passed the menu to Ling 'er.

After all, she was still a little girl. Although she was a little mature, she still had a childish side. At this moment, seeing the extremely realistic menu engraved with a simple array, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

However, after seeing the prices on the menu, the little girl was also shocked. She directly threw the menu on the table, because the price of every menu was enough to let the two of them live a rich life for a long time.

Zi Chen back then was almost the same as Ling 'er was now. He understood Ling' er's feelings very well, so he didn't give her any more hints. Instead, he personally took the menu and ordered.

Zi Chen ordered more than ten dishes in a row. They were all the most expensive dishes here. The waitress who ordered the dishes was overjoyed, and so was Ling 'er. However, the former was overjoyed, while the latter was shocked. In comparison, Sun Jian was much calmer.

"Alright, that's all." After ordering more than twenty dishes, Zi Chen closed the menu.

"Alright, please wait a moment." The waitress smiled sweetly and left with the menu.

Zi Chen also had a polite smile on his face. However, when he looked at Sun Jian, the smile on his face disappeared as he said, "You should have known my identity long ago."

As soon as he said this, Sun Jian was shocked. However, he pretended to be calm and raised his head to meet Zi Chen's gaze.

However, the two of them stared at each other for less than three seconds before Sun Jian admitted defeat. "Many years ago, I saw your face from afar. I still dare not forget."

"Then tell me about the Qin family." Since Sun Jian admitted, Zi Chen didn't say anything else.

"The Qin family." Sun Jian thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know where to start."

"Let's start with your feud with the Qin family." Zi Chen said calmly.

"Thirty years ago, I was still a cultivator in the Zephyr Realm. During the chaos of war, I had been hiding in the mountains in seclusion. After I came out, I heard rumors about my lord. My lord promoted good and punished evil. He destroyed many forces and saved many mortals. He was loyal and courageous. He conquered an entire region, but he gave it to three forces. He was chivalrous and gentle."

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's get to the point."

Sun Jian nodded, "When I heard about Sir's deeds in the past, I was very impressed. During the battle outside Cloud Cloud City, I saw Sir's elegant demeanor from afar. I admire Sir very much and also have the heart to promote good and punish evil, to fight for justice. Just ten years ago, when I came to Dan Yang City, I happened to see Qin Yi of the Qin family. At that time, he was only thirteen years old. He was still young, but he had committed all kinds of crimes and was a playboy. At that time, I saw him conniving with his subordinates to catch a passing girl in broad daylight, wanting to do something beastly.

In the end, Zi Chen didn't need him to say anything. Obviously, Sun Jian, who was in the Zephyr Realm, beat the servant and taught the young one a lesson, but it attracted the old one. Then, Sun Jian became a mortal.

"After beating the young one, the old one came." Zi Chen said with a smile.

"How do you know, my lord?"

"Because the old one is already here." Zi Chen's smile suddenly became very cold.

In the direction of the Qin family in Dan Yang City, several figures had already flown out. The two leading were Core Realm old monsters, and behind them were the few young people who had escaped before.

Obviously, they had already learned that Zi Chen and his group hadn't run away and were in the restaurant. So, after coming out of the Qin family, they went straight to the restaurant.

"It's the Zephyr Realm experts. The Qin family has sent Zephyr Realm experts."

The aura of the two leading figures made the entire Dan Yang City tremble, and many cultivators exclaimed.

"They are in the restaurant. Uncles, you must avenge us and show the Qin family's prestige."

Qin Ran pointed at the restaurant in front and said fiercely.

"Don't worry. How dare you do it in our Dan Yang City." The two Core Realm experts' faces were cold, but before one of them could finish, a cold voice sounded in the sky.

"I'm eating. You'd better not disturb my mood, or you'll have to bear the consequences."

"Bear the consequences? What a big tone. Who do you think you are?" Qin Ran shouted behind the two Core Realm experts, but before he could finish, he was stopped by one of the Core Realm experts.

As a Core Realm expert, the other party was naturally much more knowledgeable. Seeing two Core Realm experts and daring to threaten them, he naturally had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Friend, who are you? Can you tell us your name? I'm from the Qin family," one of the Core Realm experts asked.

"Get lost."

Another shout came from the restaurant. The sound was like thunder exploding in the sky, deafening. Then, a terrifying aura gushed out of the restaurant and went straight for the two Core Realm experts.

"Bang." "Bang."

Two huge tremors rang out in the sky. The two Core Realm experts were directly sent flying by the two waves of energy.

Without even showing himself, he had directly sent two Core Realm experts flying. In Dan Yang City, many cultivators were petrified. Such a powerful existence hadn't appeared in more than thirty years.

As for the other rich kids, they were so scared that their faces were pale. Their bodies were constantly trembling in the air, and their expressions were extremely shocked.

"Ant-like things, get lost."

Another voice came from the restaurant. Then, a wave of energy swept out, and the rich kids were sent flying several miles away.

Inside the restaurant, when the people standing by the window saw the Qin family members being sent flying, they were all stunned. When they turned their heads and saw Zi Chen, who hadn't moved at all, their faces were filled with deep respect and admiration.

"It really is you. Only you are not afraid of them." Sun Jian walked back to his seat from the window. He had already confirmed Zi Chen's identity. Ling 'er also followed.

"Tell me about the Qin family's situation." Zi Chen said indifferently.

Sun Jian said, "Thirty years ago, when the three forces united this area, it became a tripartite balance of power. But in just five years, the Qin family rose above the rest and suppressed the Liu and Wang families to become the strongest force in this area."

"Five years." Zi Chen was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised.

"That's right. It is said that the Qin family had a deal with one of the forces in the Fringe and received a lot of rewards. In the past five years, they made a lot of money. With a lot of resources, they then recruited many experts of the Sect Master level in the Fringe. With experts and resources, the Qin family naturally rose quickly."

"In addition, it is said that the Qin family also does business with other forces in the Fringe."

"Business." Zi Chen frowned.

"That's right. The Qin family's alchemy skills have reached the pinnacle. They are the best in the entire Southern Fringe. Now, they don't even need to go out and many people will come to them to deliver resources and ask for their help. If the Qin family was the strongest force twenty-five years ago, then thirty years later, the Qin family's foundation has completely suppressed the Wang and Liu forces."

Zi Chen listened quietly. He felt that the Qin family's rise was abnormally fast.

"The Qin family is now the overlord of this area. As a member of the Qin family, they are naturally arrogant and domineering, even more so than the Cang Li family back then. But now, the Qin family is the ruler. Although there are people who are dissatisfied and angry, they don't dare to speak up. In the past thirty years, those who dared to offend the Qin family are all dead."

Looking at Zi Chen, Sun Jian smiled bitterly and said, "And because of Milord's rise, the Qin family has learned a lesson. Therefore, they are even more ruthless and vicious. They don't want to leave any trouble behind. If they can cut the grass, they will definitely remove the roots."

"But you are still alive after offending the Qin family." Zi Chen said.

Sun Jian's smile became even more bitter. "I am indeed alive because Qin Ran still wants to torture me. He doesn't want me to die so quickly. He is a true villain, even more despicable than those evildoers you killed. In order to torture me, they used almost all of their methods. They even wanted to make a move on Ling 'er. But Ling' er's body is very special and they didn't succeed."

"It seems that the Qin family is really too much." Zi Chen said calmly.

"You don't believe me." Hearing that Zi Chen's voice was not angry, Sun Jian looked at Zi Chen.

"Grandfather is telling the truth. They once bullied me and said that I would definitely be a beauty when I grow up. But they can't wait for me to grow up." Ling 'er said seriously.

Zi Chen smiled and didn't say anything. Those who knew him knew that when he heard something extremely infuriating, Zi Chen's face was calm. This proved that his anger had reached its limit.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another. Ling 'er ate happily, but Sun Jian didn't have any appetite. Zi Chen didn't even touch his chopsticks.

Just as the dishes were about to be served, the waiter came forward and said, "Sir, our boss said that this table is free of charge."

"Oh, why?" Zi Chen asked.

"Our boss said that this is a show of respect for the strong." After saying that, the waiter left.

Respect for the strong, but he didn't come to meet them. Only free of charge. Zi Chen's smile became wider and colder.

"Indeed, things have changed," Zi Chen said coldly.

At this moment, more than ten figures flew out from the direction of the Qin family. They were all Primordial Core cultivators. Other than the early Primordial Core cultivators, there were actually three mid-stage Primordial Core cultivators.

Violent auras filled the air, bringing with them boundless anger. A group of more than ten Primordial Core cultivators rushed towards the restaurant.

At this moment, the entire Pill Sun City was trembling. At the place where the murderous aura gathered, the restaurant was also shaking. The chilling aura made everyone tremble.

"How many years has it been since Pill Sun City sent out so many Sect Masters?" In Pill Sun City, many cultivators looked up at the sky.

"It should be more than thirty years. Ever since this area was unified, there has never been such a big lineup."

Everyone sighed.

More than ten Sect Masters were sent out. Obviously, something big had happened. And the source of this big incident was the place where the murderous aura gathered.

"How dare you come to Pill Sun City and behave so atrociously. Today, we don't care who you are.

Cold voices came from the outside into the restaurant. The entire restaurant was surrounded by more than ten Primordial Core cultivators.

"Aren't you going to ask why I attacked?" Zi Chen's voice sounded in the restaurant.
