"Let's go to other shops. Good thing I haven't bought anything yet."
"Is that okay? If we don't buy anything, we won't get beaten up, right? That guy just shouted that he was going to beat someone to death."
Everyone became even more afraid after hearing this. This shop didn't allow people to pick and choose, and they were going to beat people to death. They wouldn't dare to come here anymore. It wouldn't be worth it if they were beaten to death for a cheap sword.
"I'm just unlucky. Let's pay and leave."
"Yes, yes, I'm leaving too."
Well, the news spread like wildfire, and everyone started to head out. Some bought weapons and left, while others ran as if they were running for their lives.
"Hey, don't go, don't go."
This shop was large and had many workers. There were more than 20 of them standing at the door. They all shouted at the customers to not leave, which made the customers even more afraid. What's going on? Are they going to close the door and beat people up? With that thought, they ran for their lives. Because there were too many people, the workers were pushed to the side.
Du Feng saw this and knew that he couldn't buy anything, so he quickly ran out. When the shopkeeper saw this, he became anxious and shouted, "Stop!"
It would have been better if he hadn't yelled. Everyone heard him, and all the customers thought he was yelling at them. He subconsciously turned around and saw the shopkeeper glaring at him with a fierce look on his face. It's over, it's over. Their shop's image is completely ruined.
Not only did everyone think that this shop was bad, they even started to suspect that there was something wrong with Hearthstone City's laws. If it wasn't for the government's tacit approval, they wouldn't dare to treat their customers like this. This was clearly bullying their customers, especially foreigners.
To make matters worse, there were a few locals in the shop. Seeing the foreigners running out, they kept yelling:
"Get out, get out, Hearthstone City has been dirtied by you outsiders."
In their minds, Hearthstone City was clean and bright, which was good. But after more people came to buy weapons, the population also increased. Once there were too many people, the environment would be affected, and security would deteriorate. That was why the locals had a bad impression of the foreigners. They clamored to drive the outsiders out, which made the outsiders feel even more uneasy.
"Forget it. We won't go to the next shop. Let's hurry back."
"Yeah, let's hurry up and leave this place. It's too dangerous."
Some of the warriors who brought their wives and children with them were even more anxious to leave Hearthstone City. It was because the people here were too unfriendly. They chased away outsiders and even beat a young man to death.
Du Feng looked gentle and well-dressed. He didn't look like the kind of person who couldn't afford to pay. All the customers present had seen how the shop assistant treated him. Everyone was discussing and felt that they shouldn't come back to this shop in the future. Even the two of them shouldn't come back to this Immortal City in the future.
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand. This has nothing to do with you. Someone is maliciously slandering our store."
"Yeah, this is a malicious competition between industries. It has nothing to do with us."
The workers in the weapon store tried their best to get customers back, but they couldn't stop everyone from running out. What kind of joke was this? Would malicious competition between industries cause such a huge commotion? Just now, those martial artists who were shouting to chase away the outsiders were obviously your local residents.
Seeing that all the customers were running out, the shopkeeper felt helpless. He thought of the main culprit, Du Feng, and yelled: "Close the door, don't let that kid get away."
It would've been better if he hadn't yelled, but now it was even worse. Because a small portion of the customers didn't go out, they were also locked inside. From their point of view, it seemed like they were trying to trap themselves here. In broad daylight, this shop was too arrogant. They actually dared to kill someone in public. Was there still any law in this world?
"Murder, Thousand Weapon Pavilion is murdering people!"
"Open the door, let me in. My wife is still inside."
"Open the door, my daughter isn't out yet."
Things were getting out of hand now. Some of the panicking warriors' families were separated from each other. Especially some strong male martial artists, they squeezed out by themselves, leaving their wives and children behind in the end. Now that Thousand Weapon Pavilion was about to close, of course they couldn't agree.
"Smash, smash their shop."
"Yes, let's do it together. They dared to kill my child, we'll fight them."
Before Du Feng could make a move, the cultivators outside had already smashed the door to pieces. Then, the group of people rushed in, and in the process, they inevitably collided with the shop assistants. The workers were already angry, so when they were knocked down, they pushed them away. This small push became the fuse for the fight.
"Beat, beat these scammers to death."
No one knew who took the lead and shouted. It could have been a customer who had bought the items before, or it could have been someone planted by another weapon shop, or it could have been a foreign weapon dealer who had been lurking here. In short, as soon as he took the lead and shouted, the crowd started a conflict with the shop assistants.
"You outsiders, beat them up."
Some of the locals who were watching the commotion were unhappy with the outsiders. These outsiders came to Hearthstone City and spent their money like rich people, and they were not used to it. Why did the locals have to work so hard to forge, while the outsiders were so rich?
Once the conflict started, it was hard to calm it down, and everyone started fighting. There were also a few shop assistants who wanted to restrain Du Feng, but they were easily dealt with by him. Others saw that he was only at Golden Immortal Stage Level 6 Cultivation, and thought nothing of it. In the end, the workers who rushed up all had their arms dislocated, from the root.
Du Feng had already given them face, not using any weapons, just dislocating their arms with his bare hands. It looked terrifying, but it was just a dislocation of the joints.
The other customers seemed impulsive, but they still maintained a trace of rationality. Because when they fought, they were all bare-handed, without weapons. If they had weapons, it would have been a bloodbath.
"Get your weapons, beat them up."
Someone shouted again, and with a clang, a large saber was pulled out. This knife was 1.3 meters long, shiny, and extremely sharp. With a slash of his saber, a wound appeared on the back of a shop assistant.
"Kill, beat them up!"
It's over, I really can't hold back anymore. Du Feng could also see that things were getting out of hand. He pushed away a few workers who rushed up, trying to find a chance to slip away. Because if this continued, the city guards would definitely come over.
"Surround them, no one is allowed to leave."
