Chapter 467 The True Purpose!

“Let me do it.”

Method walked forward and put the lid on the pot.

The flames from the ingredients in the pot immediately went out.

“So I was awakened by the smell of burning food,” Method said, glancing at Su Lengyun.

“Brother Yu…” Su Lengyun’s face turned as red as an apple, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

She had barely set foot in a kitchen from childhood to adulthood, so cooking was a very novel experience for her.

But she hadn’t expected it to be so difficult.

The ingredients had only been in the pot for a short while, so how did they catch fire?

“Did you forget to put oil in?” Method asked.

“Oil…” Su Lengyun’s expression froze.

She remembered that when Method roasted chicken and duck, he never used oil…

Seeing Su Lengyun’s expression, Method understood that she indeed hadn’t used oil, and might not even know what cooking oil was.

Looking at the half-charred ingredients in the pot, Method couldn’t even recognize what they originally were.

They were beyond saving.

“Stop struggling with this. If you’re hungry, let’s go out to eat,” Method said.

“Okay,” Su Lengyun replied softly with her head down, just like when she made mistakes as a child more than twenty years ago.

She had long since practiced bigu fasting and wouldn’t feel hungry.

She had found ingredients in the refrigerator and wanted to cook something for Method… but unfortunately, she had messed it up.

This gave Su Lengyun a deep sense of failure, a feeling she had never experienced during her twenty-plus years of martial arts training.

…

The two left the apartment together and headed to the nearest commercial district.

It was now nine-thirty in the evening.

According to Mo Xiu, the Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association had already issued a warning.

From what they could see, the warning had been quite effective.

After leaving the residential area, Method walked about two or three kilometers without seeing a single pedestrian.

The vast streets were empty, in stark contrast to their usual bustling atmosphere.

The evening breeze blew gently, creating a peaceful ambiance.

This feeling was actually quite comfortable.

The only question was whether the restaurants would still be open.

“Berserk martial artists…”

In such a comfortable environment, Method finally had the peace of mind to think about the Immortal Clan.

Method knew better than anyone how those berserk martial artists had appeared.

Previously, Yan Yao had disguised himself as a so-called divination master and distributed a large number of pills containing poisonous insects.

When ordinary martial artists consumed these pills, they would be controlled by the poisonous insects and turn into berserk martial artists.

What Method wanted to know was the Immortal Clan’s purpose for doing this.

During this morning’s conversation with the Immortal King, it had said that it would eventually revive.

The meaning of these words was very clear.

It meant that it had not yet fully revived.

So why did it send out such a large group of berserk martial artists to slaughter civilians?

Doing so would only attract attention from various parties, increasing the risk to the Immortal Clan.

Normally, when not fully revived, the smart approach would be to lie low and be as inconspicuous as possible.

Yan Yao had distributed those pills two months ago… but back then, there weren’t many incidents of civilian slaughter.

In the past month or so, such incidents had suddenly increased…

What had happened in the past month?

Method tried to recall.

A little over a month ago, he had fought with several beings from the Immortal Clan by Lake Qinshou at Nandu University…

At that time, Yan Yao had taken away a fresh heart.

The heart…

Method also recalled how this morning, the Immortal King had specifically let him hear the sound of a heartbeat.

Connecting these two events, Method had a flash of insight.

A little over a month ago, the Immortal King’s heart had revived. After that, the group of berserk martial artists began slaughtering civilians.

Civilians were generally defenseless, making them easy prey for the berserk martial artists.

What could these dead civilians provide to the Immortal King?

Nothing but flesh and blood!

At this point, Method also remembered an earlier incident when he encountered a martial artist who had become berserk after taking a pill at Luoxi’s bar.

After he killed that martial artist, the corpse was absorbed into thin air, and when he sent out his divine sense to track it, he saw a massive shadow…

Thinking about this, Method was now fairly certain.

The real purpose of the berserk martial artists slaughtering civilians was to provide flesh and blood for the Immortal King!

At the same time, a general outline of the Immortal King as a being formed in Method’s mind.

It had lost its physical body for some reason, and even its heart had been frozen, but its brain had been preserved.

Many years later, it awakened and commanded all beings in its clan to help it revive.

The heart was the first step, and flesh and blood were the second!

“But if the flesh and blood of those dead civilians were absorbed, their bodies should have disappeared. Yet in several conversations, Mo Xiu never mentioned this? Did he forget? Or…” Method frowned.

While thinking, Method and Su Lengyun had unknowingly walked to a commercial street.

On this street, they finally saw quite a few pedestrians.

The slightly noisy sounds pulled Method out of his thoughts.

Method looked around and found that he was on Nandu’s most famous bar street.

How did they end up here?

Method was surprised.

The last time he came to this street, he had encountered Yan Yao pretending to be a divination master at Luoxi’s bar.

However, most bars also served food.

If they just wanted to eat, anywhere would do.

Method looked ahead and saw Luoxi’s bar, Angel Bar.

Without thinking too much, Method led Su Lengyun forward.

After entering Angel Bar, Method casually found a booth and sat down.

Compared to its previous liveliness, the bar had very few customers, with no more than fifteen people in the entire hall.

A waiter approached, first glancing at Su Lengyun’s blue hair with amazement, then handed Method a drink menu.

“I don’t drink alcohol. Do you have any food?” Method asked.

“Food? Yes, please wait a moment.” The waiter was taken aback, then turned to get a food menu and handed it to Method.

The menu consisted of Western dishes. Method looked at Su Lengyun.

“I don’t eat,” Su Lengyun gently shook her head.

So Method ordered a steak.

The bar had three or four tables of customers scattered around, all chatting quietly, completely lacking the atmosphere a bar should have.

But for Su Lengyun, everything was fresh.

After all, she had spent most of her life in Frost Cold Palace, with minimal contact with the outside world.

…

On the second floor of Angel Bar, in a VIP room.

Zhao Jidao sat on the sofa, with Zuo Hongru sitting beside him.

In front of Zuo Hongru stood four young women with beautiful faces and curvaceous figures.

These four women would certainly turn heads if they were on the street, and many men would call them goddesses.

But at this moment, Zuo Hongru’s face was expressionless, his eyes even somewhat cold.

The four women standing in front of him were already scantily dressed, and now they naturally felt the chill.

Seeing that Zuo Hongru remained silent, Zhao Jidao had to speak up: “Celestial Master Zuo, are you satisfied…”

Zuo Hongru turned to look at Zhao Jidao, then glanced at the four women in front of him, and sneered, “President Zhao, is this the kind of merchandise you found for me?”

Zhao Jidao’s heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed dramatically.

He himself was not interested in women, and being in a high position, he rarely dealt with such matters.

The four women before him had been found by his subordinates on his behalf.

In his view, these women were quite attractive in both appearance and figure.

But he hadn’t expected Zuo Hongru’s standards to be so high that he would completely dismiss them!

“Celestial Master Zuo, I…” Zhao Jidao was about to apologize.

“Hmph, what do you mean by ‘this kind of merchandise’? You can just say you don’t like us without insulting us!”

At this moment, the woman standing on the left spoke up.

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but her tone was very dissatisfied.

Hearing these words, not only Zhao Jidao but also the other three women changed their expressions.

The person who had brought them here had instructed that tonight’s clients were important figures, and they must serve them well.

Of course, they didn’t know the true identities of the two men before them.

But no one expected that at this moment, that woman would dare to speak up in defiance.

“Xuanxuan, you…” the woman beside her tried to speak.

“Am I wrong? He’s the one who’s wrong! We’re just here to work, why should we be humiliated!?” The girl called Xuanxuan said with an angry face.

“You, shut up! Apologize to Celestial Master Zuo immediately!” Zhao Jidao stood up, glaring angrily.

This Xuanxuan had quite a temper and showed no fear at all.

Zhao Jidao glanced at Zuo Hongru beside him and saw that Zuo Hongru’s face had broken into an extremely cold smile.

Zhao Jidao’s heart sank.

“Your name is Xuanxuan, right? I’ll take you,” Zuo Hongru suddenly said.
