The fat man and his group of 3 immediately stood up from their table and faced Jiang Chen with cold looks in their eyes.

Although they wanted to avoid offending Shun Long's group due to their unknown identity, since they had already done so, they knew that a fight was impossible to avoid.

​​

However, the 4 of them didn't seem afraid in the slightest.

After all, aside from the middle-aged fat man who was just a peak rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the other 2 middle-aged men and the old man in his group had all reached the peak of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul.

As for Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi, and Bai Longtian, it was clear to them that all 3 of them were just early and middle rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivators!

As for Jiang Chen, even though he was emitting a dense aura of killing intent, it was obvious that his cultivation was still at the peak of rank 5 in the Nascent Soul!

''Hehe, you said that you will make us wish we were dead? Brat, I don't know which power you come from but it's obvious that you are not from our Blue star continent. Aside from the Tang dynasty and a few extremely powerful individuals, no one else would be so daring to say such words in public without knowing who they are facing. Let this old man teach you a lesson personally so you will be more humble in the future! Hehe, don't worry, I won't kill you.''

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the 3 peak rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivators near the fat man suddenly stepped forward, appearing in front of Jiang Chen in a single instant.

Shun Long barely turned his head and glanced at the old man in bright red robes who looked like he was about to punch Jiang Chen in the chest before his lips curved up into a mocking smile.

''AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH''

The people on the second floor of the restaurant didn't even have enough time to react as they heard the loud cry that left the peak rank 6 Nascent Soul stage expert's mouth, before they saw his body being sent flying back like a cannonball.

The old man's loud scream reverberated throughout the entire second floor of the Noble Tang restaurant and if it wasn't for the noise-isolating formations on this floor, his voice would have definitely be heard by the people on the first floor as well.

Silence soon filled the entire floor, as the fat man who had just started this fight, the other 2 peak rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivators from his group, and even the people from the other group who were still sitting on their table and were watching everything calmly previously, all stared at Jiang Chen's with mouths agape.

It had only taken a single punch for a peak rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivator to defeat someone who had already reached the peak of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul?

''Who the hell is this kid?''

''A monster! He is a monster!''

Jiang Chen didn't even pay any attention to the hushed discussions coming from the people of the other group who were all staring at him in shock, as he calmly retracted his fist in a cold manner, and after staring at the old man who had fallen on the ground and seemed like he had already lost consciousness after colliding with the wall, he actually didn't stop, as he started to walk towards the fat man and the remaining 2 peak rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivators from his group, who were now looking at him with hints of dread in their eyes.

The fat man looked like he could no longer endure this pressure as he suddenly took a step forward and looked at Jiang Chen before he said in a threatening manner

''Brat, you better know when to stop. If you don't, I will make sure that your life in Tang city becomes a living hell! You have no idea who you are messing with!''

Unfortunately for him, Jiang Chen didn't seem to have cared about his threat at all as a pair of pitch-black wings suddenly appeared from his back.

The next moment, the fat man's body had already fallen on the ground, lying right next to the old man from before as well as the other 2 peak rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivators from his group.

However, unlike the other 3, the fat man hadn't lost consciousness, causing Jiang Chen to stare at him with an evil smile on his face as he stood less than a meter in front of him.

The terrifying demonic aura coming from his body instantly made the fat man shiver before Jiang Chen's voice resounded throughout the silent second floor the next moment

''Next time, you should keep your mouth shut and not interrupt others when they are having a meal. Hmm, maybe I should rip that mouth of yours so you don't get to speak again.''

The fat man in red robes trembled upon hearing Jiang Chen's calm voice but the only thing that could be heard on the silent second floor of the restaurant in the next few seconds was only the man's screams.

A moment later, Jiang Chen sat back on the table with Shun Long and the rest, before he took off the lid of his wine jar in a nonchalant matter and actually took a sip.

''Hahaha! Master, this brat is really interesting!''

Little Black's voice sounded inside Shun Long's mind the next moment, causing Shun Long to smile and nod his head in agreement.

It didn't matter if it was Xingyi, Jiang Chen or Bai Longtian, all 3 of them had entirely different characters and yet they still fit with him and Liu Mei as well.

Liu Mei, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian all nodded their heads before they started to either eat or drink without caring for what had happened just now, causing the people from the other group to stare at them with eyes full of shock, almost as if they were looking at 5 monsters.

What they didn't know was that Shun Long wouldn't pay any attention to that fat man and the other 3 people from his group in the first place.

Although he was slightly concerned about being noticed by the royal family of the Tang dynasty beforehand which would make his plan harder, he knew that it was simply impossible for the royal family to turn their attention towards him simply because of a single fight inside a restaurant in Tang city, unless the fat man was actually a member of the royal family himself.

However, based on the fat man's attitude as well as his words from before that, it was obvious that this was not the case as he clearly wasn't a member of the royal family.

Half an hour later, after they finished their meal, Shun Long, Liu Mei, and the rest left the Noble Tang restaurant under the terrified gazes of the other group on the second floor who hadn't dared to move until now.

As for the fat man and his group, they would either lie on the second floor of the restaurant until they regained consciousness or until the staff of the restaurant found them.

Although Jiang Chen had made sure that the fat man and the rest wouldn't die, the pain they would feel after waking up would truly make them feel like they wish they were dead. This was even more so for the fat man who had received 'special attention' from Jiang Chen in the end.

After walking around the streets of Tang city for about an hour, Shun Long's eyes suddenly narrowed as he had finally arrived in front of an enormous palace that was surrounded by hundreds of guards who were vigilantly staring at their surroundings.
