Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 291: You Two Better Not Push Your Luck!

Upon seeing this, Meng Jingzhou stopped pretending to be in pain and sprang up from the stretcher.

Master Liu and Master Gao were no longer dressed in their greasy barbecue shop uniforms, nor did they wear the simple smiles they had when serving customers. Instead, they were in formal attire, their faces solemn, as if reminiscing about the glorious days of the Undying Sect.

When they looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, it gave the two of them a chilling, spine-tingling feeling.

“Gentlemen, please come with us. We have something we’d like your assistance with.”

Master Liu and Master Gao had already done their research. After Lu Yang and Yun Zhi returned, Yun Zhi left the Dao Seeking Sect again for some unknown reason, presenting a perfect opportunity to deal with Lu Yang!

If they didn’t act now, when would they?

There were too many people around here, making it inconvenient to act. They needed to bring Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to the Undying Sect’s headquarters—the Come Again barbecue shop!

Previously, the Come Again barbecue shop had barely established a foothold on the commercial street, surrounded by enemies, with powerful Unity Stage figures eyeing them covetously, making their situation very precarious.

But later, under the guidance of the Sect Leader and the Everlasting Celestial, and through careful planning by the high-ranking members of the Undying Sect, the barbecue shop had been turned into a den of the Undying Sect.

And the Dao Seeking Sect knew nothing about the Come Again barbecue shop’s occupation of the commercial street and its secret expansion...

“Then let’s go,” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou said without losing their momentum.

With two Unity Stage experts flanking them, they had no strength to resist. Even if they didn’t want to go, they would be dragged along, so they might as well walk on their own.

“This way, please.” Master Gao extended his hand, inviting the two into the barbecue shop.

Standing at the entrance of the barbecue shop, Lu Yang noticed that it was pitch black inside, with only two Daoist shadows vaguely visible in the darkness.

As they stepped into the barbecue shop, Master Liu and Master Gao stood silently at the entrance, like two iron statues guarding it.

Once inside, Lu Yang felt completely isolated from the outside world. He couldn’t hear a sound or see anything from outside.

What he didn’t know was that not only were sound and sight cut off, but the Sect Leader had long since set up a peerless formation in the barbecue shop, even blocking divine senses.

A mysterious light gradually filled the barbecue shop, revealing the true identities of the two shadows: one was the Sect Leader, and the other was the Everlasting Celestial. Both were dressed in formal attire, seemingly determined to accomplish something significant.

“Please, have a seat,” the Sect Leader invited the two to sit down.

“Go ahead, what is it?” Lu Yang asked coldly, unable to figure out the Sect Leader’s intentions.

However, Lu Yang was not afraid of him, especially with the Everlasting Celestial sitting right beside him.

As the owner of the Everlasting Lineage, Everlasting Fairy could completely control the Everlasting Celestial, the source of the Undying Sect. With this relationship, the Sect Leader couldn’t cause much trouble.

The five-element materials were bought by personally visiting and persuading the commercial street shop owners.

Opening a branch in the outside world was just a matter of saying a word. Why weren’t these two satisfied?

The Sect Leader resolved to swallow his pride. A great man can be flexible. For the barbecue shop’s long-term plan, he would kneel if necessary!

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou hurriedly stopped the Sect Leader, bewildered by the sudden change: “You want to open a barbecue shop branch?”

“Yes.”

“And you mentioned recruiting rogue cultivators to join you?”

“To hire staff for the shop.”

They couldn’t leave the Dao Seeking Sect to open a branch in the outside world, so they needed to hire staff.

“And expanding your influence?”

“Opening the barbecue shop outside the Dao Seeking Sect.”

“And increasing your impact on the Great Xia Dynasty?”

“Becoming a major taxpayer.”

“And making it impossible for people to leave you?”

“Getting more customers to our shop.”

Meng Jingzhou looked at the Sect Leader suspiciously: “You also said your influence has spread to the entire commercial street, and the Dao Seeking Sect knows nothing about it?”

“We reported false earnings and paid less management fees.”

The Everlasting Celestial added, “Another layer of meaning is that our barbecue shop’s earnings in the Dao Seeking Sect have saturated, so we need to open branches in the outside world to explore new markets.”

Lu Yang: “...”

Meng Jingzhou: “...”

Do you really need to make it this complicated to open a barbecue shop branch?
