He'd run into bandits!
A group of ferocious-looking men sat in a tavern in the city.
Or he would step on a chair and say some vulgar words. Or they would raise a glass of wine and gulp it down, holding a seemingly unwilling woman by their side.
Ye Zichen's sudden appearance seemed to have disrupted their revelry. The moment he entered, he felt the gazes of everyone in the tavern land on him.
"The people of the Divine Mountains don't look particularly friendly!"
Ye Zichen muttered to himself, then nodded and smiled at them, then took a few stealthy steps back.
Before Ye Zichen even noticed, the tavern's doors slammed shut with a bang.
At the entrance of the tavern, there were a few lackeys with evil smiles on their faces.
"Another lost little lamb."
At this moment, the bald man with tattoos on his head who was sitting in the middle of the tavern revealed his white teeth and smiled. The group of guys who didn't look like good people also laughed with him.
The bald, tattooed man walked up to Ye Zichen with dark circles under his eyes. His aura doubled the pressure Ye Zichen felt.
A sky supreme.
This bald man was at least a sky supreme.
"Brother, you must've had a long journey. Give this little brother a pair of chopsticks."
The baldy shouted towards the tavern with his back to Ye Zichen. The middle-aged man at the same table as the baldy immediately walked towards the kitchen. At the same time, the baldy's hand landed heavily on Ye Zichen's shoulder.
"Come on, let's go together."
"Alright."
Ye Zichen glanced at the baldy indifferently, but didn't pay it too much mind. He followed him over, then sat down calmly in front of everyone in the tavern.
Earlier, Ye Zichen had wanted to leave simply because he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
But with the Yao-Sealing Pagoda in hand, what did he have to be afraid of?
Ye Zichen's calmness caused the bald man's eyes to light up, but he simply smiled and didn't take it to heart.
"Little brother, did you just arrive in the God Realm?"
The middle-aged man put down his bowl and chopsticks. The bald man personally poured him a cup of wine.
"That's right, I just arrived a few hours ago."
As Ye Zichen answered the baldy's question, he poured the alcohol into his mouth.
At first, Ye Zichen thought the wine on the Divine Mountains would be better than in the Lower Lands, but as soon as he took a sip, he discovered that it was only low-quality wine. In comparison, it wasn't even as good as the wine in the Lower Lands.
He pursed his lips and put the wine glass aside. The bald man wanted to pour more wine for him, but he was stopped.
"Don't pour it for me. Keep it for yourselves."
"Little brother, are you looking down on the wine that we rough people drink?" The bald man frowned slightly.
"It's a little hard to swallow." Ye Zichen didn't beat around the bush. "I'm afraid this kind of alcohol can only be fed to livestock."
With that, Ye Zichen hurriedly laughed.
"Everyone, don't mind me too much. I'm a straightforward person, and I'm not targeting you. Actually, I just wanted to say that even animals wouldn't drink this … Aiya, look at how stupid I am … "
A sheepish smile flashed across his face, and the gazes of the people in the tavern became unfriendly.
A dark glint flashed across the bald man's eyes, but he waved them away and laughed heartily.
"Little brother, since you don't like the wine that we rough people drink, I won't force you. You look tired from the long journey, so let's eat. "
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
The food the people in the tavern were eating was actually quite ordinary. Who knew how long the dried beef had been in their mouths? It took a long time to bite through it, and the side dishes were quite ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to put on an act, Ye Zichen wouldn't have even bothered to pick up his chopsticks.
He might as well eat the pills in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda that could fill his stomach.
After about an hour, Ye Zichen patted his belly and burped.
"Little brother, are you done eating?"
During this time, no one in the tavern had touched their chopsticks. Ye Zichen was the only one eating happily. When he put down his chopsticks, everyone's gazes landed on him. The hostility in their eyes was so clear that even an idiot could sense it.
However, Ye Zichen liked to pretend he didn't understand. He smiled kindly at the bald man.
"I'm done. Thank you for your hospitality, Big Bro. It seems the God Realm is much better than where I used to live."
"Little brother, from the sound of it, it seems the people on your side aren't particularly friendly?" laughed the bald man.
"That's right. Big Bro, I won't lie to you. I just came up from the Lower Lands. There's a gang called the Axe Gang. I don't know if you've heard of them, but they've done all sorts of evil. They've killed, burned, and plundered everything. Back in the Lower Lands, I spent every day hoping to escape their clutches. "
Ye Zichen's expression was downcast, as if he'd suffered a lot at their hands.
Anyone who ascended to the Divine Mountains had come from the Lower Lands. The Axe Gang had been around for a long time, so everyone in the tavern naturally knew of them.
As for the news that the Axe Gang had destroyed Upheaval, only the great clans of the Divine Mountains knew about it. Small fries like the bald man had no chance of learning of such things.
"Little brother, you're right. The Axe Gang really has done all sorts of evil in the Lower Lands."
"Just the thought of them pisses me off." Ye Zichen's face contorted with indignation, then he cupped his hands and smiled at the bald man. "Forget it. Since you've ascended to the Divine Mountains, there's no need to mention them. I've eaten my fill, so I won't disturb your gathering any longer. Goodbye, Big Bro. "
As soon as Ye Zichen rose to his feet, two third-stage earth supremes appeared behind him and pressed down on his shoulders. Ye Zichen glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and laughed inwardly, but his face was a mask of confusion.
"This is …."
"Little brother, don't be nervous. My brothers mean you no harm." The bald man smiled calmly, but his gaze turned icy. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "But as you can see, we're just barely surviving in the God Realm. Little brother, you just ate and drank quite a bit of our food. No matter what …. You should at least give us something in return, right? "
"This …. This isn't free?" Ye Zichen arched his brows.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Little brother, don't you think so?" The bald man smirked and snorted. "Little brother, you and I hit it off, so I don't want to bicker with you. But I'm not so sure about my brothers."
Instantly, everyone in the tavern leapt to their feet. Countless auras locked onto Ye Zichen.
"I've only just arrived in the God Realm and I'm already in this mess. Tch tch …."
Ye Zichen muttered to himself, then feigned anger and helplessness.
