After Wang Xiaoqiang bound the seven loose cultivators with the Heaven and Earth Whip, he infused a stream of Soldier Aura into it. The Aura flowed from the handle along the whip, spreading throughout the entire length.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Whip was like a water-soaked rope, even more solidified.

The seven loose cultivators entangled by the whip were both humiliated and angry, struggling with all their might to break free, but even exerting their utmost strength, they couldn't escape.

The Heaven and Earth Whip was already an extraordinary magic treasure, extremely formidable. Furthermore, with the Soldier Aura reinforcement by Wang Xiaoqiang, it was even more solid. The cultivation bases of the seven loose cultivators hadn't broken through the Immortal Sage level, naturally making it impossible to untangle the reinforced whip. Instead of loosening, the whip became tighter.

The seven people's faces flushed red, veins bulging, and helpless expressions showed on their faces. The middle-aged loose cultivator leading them scanned the other tables with a plea for help visible in his eyes, but he still mockingly said:

"Fellow loose cultivators, foreign enemies have intruded and are bullying us on our own turf, yet you remain indifferent. I admire your composure…"

The group of loose cultivators showed expressions of shame upon hearing this, unable to bear it any longer. They stood up in unison, revealing their magic treasures.

Fang Qiu and the other nine also stood up swiftly, ready for action.

"Fellow loose cultivators, these foreign enemies are merely ten people. As long as we break out of this tavern and send the news to the City Lord's Mansion, packed with experts, they will find it hard to escape. What are you waiting for…" the middle-aged loose cultivator encouraged, shouting.

Wang Xiaoqiang saw the situation about to spiral out of control and swiftly dashed before the middle-aged loose cultivator, striking his head with a palm.

With a cracking sound, an electric arc shot out, exploding the middle-aged loose cultivator's head. A gory scene of blood and brain matter burst into a horrific red and white explosion—utterly shocking!

The three-meter-long electric arc did not diminish after blasting the middle-aged cultivator's head. It shot forward and hit the head of a young loose cultivator behind him.

Boom!

The young loose cultivator's head was similarly blown apart by the electric arc, with blood and brain matter flying. Neither the older nor the younger cultivator managed a scream before dying suddenly.

The loose cultivators, just about to move, were stunned by this, trembling in fear and not daring to make any move.

Loose cultivators, known for being unruly and cruel, had not expected to encounter a more ruthless orthodox cultivator today, who resorted to head-explosion at the slightest disagreement.

The key was Wang Xiaoqiang's three-meter-long electric arc. With it, he dealt a fatal blow, killing two loose cultivators whose cultivation base exceeded the Fivefold Body of the Immortal Venerable instantly.

It was almost like the legendary instant kill.

The loose cultivators, just about to rebel, quivered and stood motionless, fear evident on their faces, not daring to act rashly.

"Anyone who dares to move will end up the same way!!"

Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at the bodies of the two loose cultivators lying on the ground and said.

Upon hearing this, no one dared to move.

Wang Xiaoqiang flashed back to the table, sat back in his original seat, and picked up his chopsticks, saying to the other nine, "Come, let's eat!"

Fang Qiu and the other nine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, casting admiring glances at Wang Xiaoqiang, then sat down and began eating.

However, after what had happened, Princess Hua Shao, Luoo Youshan, and Su Li, the three girls, had lost all appetite.

The bloody scene of Wang Xiaoqiang exploding the two loose cultivators' heads made these girls, who had grown up in a sheltered environment devoid of the martial world's bloody storms, nauseous.

Not only the three girls, but even the other three boys had no appetite at this point.

Wang Xiaoqiang, however, ate heartily, gorging himself and saying, "Time is short. If we don't eat now, we'll be starving later."

While speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in Princess Hua Shao's bowl, but he only realized it was a chicken butt after placing it in her bowl.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang serve her food, Princess Hua Shao's heart warmed, her icy face briefly showing a trace of warmth. However, upon looking down, her face changed drastically, showing a mix of shame and anger.

Wang Xiaoqiang had given her a chicken butt, which she had never eaten before, and to offer it publicly was somewhat embarrassing.

Looking at the greasy and somewhat unseemly chicken butt, Princess Hua Shao, already feeling nauseous, felt a wave of acid rise to her throat, quickly covering her mouth and retching.

She spat out two mouthfuls of acid water, hurriedly rinsed her mouth with wine, and wiped the drips from her mouth with a scented handkerchief, then glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Wang Xiaoqiang, did you do this on purpose?…"

Everyone else chuckled, casting mischievous glances and observing the pair with some playful interest in their eyes.

Embarrassed, Wang Xiaoqiang pouted, saying, "Chicken butt is still meat! It's juicy and tasty. If you don't want it, I'll eat it. I love eating butts the most!"

Saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang picked up the chicken butt, putting it in his mouth and chomping down, greasy juice dripping.

Wang Xiaoqiang's remark left three girls embarrassed, reminding them that he said he loved "eating butts." They quickly lowered their heads and started eating.

"Mmm, delicious!" Wang Xiaoqiang swallowed the chicken butt, then loudly instructed, "Hurry, eat up. Once we're done, we move on. The Immortal Elder and the many immortals are still waiting outside Heavenly River City for us…"

Wang Xiaoqiang's second sentence was quite abrupt. Their group of ten was heading to the Ghost Territory to eliminate Ghost Cultivators for training, without any accompanying group of immortals. So why did Wang suddenly mention the Immortal Elder and immortals?

This left everyone puzzled. Fang Qiu's eyes widened, about to inquire when Wang Xiaoqiang subtly signaled him to stay quiet, swallowing back his question.

The others, seeing this, kept their doubts to themselves, understanding that Wang Xiaoqiang was bluffing the loose cultivators.

The Immortal Elder and immortals were renowned in the Immortal Realm. No matter in which empire, whether orthodox or loose cultivators, all respected and feared them. Wang Xiaoqiang invoked their names to intimidate the loose cultivators to abandon any intentions of opposing them.

Indeed, upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, the loose cultivators who intended to send messages out showed disappointed expressions, quelling their ambitions.

No one wanted to oppose the Immortal Elder and the immortals—they neither dared nor wished to.

Seeing the three girls and three boys didn't eat much, Wang Xiaoqiang called the shopkeeper.

The trembling shopkeeper approached, asking nervously, "What can I do for you, sir?"

"Bring me thirty pounds of your best beef, cut into ten three-pound pieces each, and ten jars of wine… we'll take them to go." Wang Xiaoqiang instructed.

"Yes, sir, right away!" The shopkeeper promptly left to prepare the beef.

Soon, sounds of chopping meat came from the kitchen, and when it stopped, the shopkeeper brought out ten pieces of beef, each weighing about three pounds. Another employee followed with ten jars of wine.

Wang Xiaoqiang took one piece of beef and a jar of wine, placing them in the Sumeru Ring, then told the others, "These are the rations, take one beef and one wine each quickly."

The nine people glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang, the ones who hadn't eaten showing a hint of gratitude, not expecting Wang to be so considerate. They then each took their portion of wine and meat.

Everyone rose, and Wang Xiaoqiang flicked his hand, retrieving the Heaven and Earth Whip, storing it in the Sumeru Ring.

Fang Qiu went to pay the bill. The shopkeeper, scared and overwhelmed, accepted the money with gratitude, offering a generous discount. (To be continued.
