The horrible aura diffused from the ruins that used to be the Tong family's residence.
In the sky, dark clouds rolled and gathered above it, shrouding it in an intimidating pressure.
In the center of the ruin, a blood formation hovered in the sky.
Ten figures stood firm inside the formation.
These ten people had different forms. There were males and females, and they were all evil-looking and strangely beautiful with distinctive styles.
Liu Mobai clasped his hands, standing underneath. The pressure from the ten swept over, billowing his black cloak with a dark wind.
He gazed at the ten, a vehement excitement present in his eyes.
Tong Wudi stood in the distance, shivering. However, he wasn't afraid of these people's competence.
He was subdued by their aura and confidence, which exclusively belonged to excellent chefs!
Tong Wudi was also a chef, a Third Grade Immortal Chef. However, he was just an ordinary Third Grade Immortal Chef. Facing these people, he couldn't help but shiver.
As he stood in front of them, his Heart of Cooking Path quivered, as though it was about to crack soon.
So scary!
Those people… they came from the Dark Nether Cooking Realm? The monstrous chefs?
What the leader said made Liu Mobai crack his mouth into a grin.
Indeed, they were worthy of being referred to as the talented chefs of the Nine Revolution Clan. Arrogant enough…
However, Liu Mobai's face didn't change much. He was really confident in himself—if Bu Fang wasn't so strong, he would never lose!
Swoosh…
The blood formation dispersed, and the ten chefs landed on the ground.
"The air is filled with a rotten stench… The Immortal Cooking Realm is really decaying," a little boy shrouded in a black robe said.
His little nose scrunched up, but he looked somewhat interested.
"Right… It's different from what I imagined. In legends, the Immortal Cooking Realm was filled with immortal energy, and immortal ingredients were everywhere. But now, it's like this... so barren." A sexy woman with curly hair smiled, playing with a tuft of her hair as she scanned her surroundings indifferently.
Eventually, that sexy woman's eyes fell on Tong Wudi in the distance.
Tong Wudi instantly felt the pressure.
"Alright… Don't mess up. We did not come here to fight. Just consider the Immortal Cooking Realm a place to get more resources. We'll show those arrogant Immortal Chefs what real monsters look like," the leader of this group of ten said casually.
As soon as he said that, the others kept silent.
Then, the leader turned to Liu Mobai and inquired, "You are Liu Mobai?"
"Nine Revolution Clan's Nether Chef, Jin Luo?" Liu Mobai furrowed his brows. He didn't answer but asked the other's name. "The Nine Revolution Clan sent you here?"
"We're not here to fight… The Master sent us here to experience the Immortal Cooking Realm and showcase the cooking skills of the Dark Nether Cooking Realm." Jin Luo shot an indifferent look at Liu Mobai as he started walking.
The others then followed their leader as they walked out of the deep hole in the Tong family's residence.
Jin Luo saw Tong Wudi and mused.
That man is a Third Grade Immortal Chef with a relatively strong power. However, his Heart of Cooking Path is really weak.
Jin Luo was amused as he observed Tong Wudi. Although the latter was a Third Grade Immortal Chef, he didn't even bat an eye on him.
"Don't you know that the Earth Prison Dog is here in the Immortal Cooking Realm? Mo Xiu was killed, yet you guys dare to come here?" Liu Mobai stared at them and asked.
Then, a round of clamor and mocking laughter echoed among the group of ten.
"Don't worry. We didn't come to the Immortal Cooking Realm to kill. Since we're chefs, we will obviously use the chef's way to solve our problems. What you've failed to accomplish, we'll help you accomplish. You are a loser, so just stay there and watch." The little boy opened his mouth once more, looking at Liu Mobai with mocking eyes.
Liu Mobai wore a cold face.
"The Immortal Cooking Realm has five layers… We are ten here. Two people will be assigned to each layer. The Immortal Cooking Realm is about to collapse, but the Immortal Chefs are still very persistent. They still believe in their hope. What we want to do is break their faith and confidence!" Jin Luo said, clasping his hands.
Then, he turned to the other Nether Chefs and continued, "Except for Qilin Chefs, have a Chef's Challenge against anyone you want. It's a good chance to strengthen your Heart of Cooking Path. It's part of your experience here."
Jin Luo indeed ignored Tong Wudi, a Third Grade Immortal Chef.
In the Dark Nether Cooking Realm, the true monsters among the young generations were able to challenge Qilin Chefs. Hence, they had no fear of facing Immortal Chefs.
"You… go with Jin Tong. See how Jin Tong tortures your enemy until the other cries," Jin Luo ordered Liu Mobai. Right after that, their bodies began to fade.
In a flash, they all disappeared, turning into jets of light as they rocketed into the sky.
They were heading to the higher layers of the Immortal Cooking Realm.
The Immortal Cooking Realm had five layers, and the first layer was the poorest one. Of course, Jin Luo's team didn't target this place.
As the team had dispersed, the entire Immortal Cooking Realm was about to be shaken.
After Jin Luo left, the team of ten was reduced to who stayed behind. One was Jin Tong, while the other was the sexy and curly-haired woman.
Liu Mobai's face looked so cold that people couldn't see his real emotion.
"You got the inheritance of our Nine Revolution Clan's Qilin Chef, but you were defeated by a chef of the Immortal Cooking Realm? You're such a trash." The little boy smirked as he mocked.
Although Jin Tong was just a kid, his entire form was filled with arrogance.
Liu Mobai said nothing else.
"Hurry and bring me over to that chef who defeated the Nine Revolution Clan's Nether Chef. Let me see how strong that chef is!" Jin Tong said.
In the distance, Tong Wudi's face twisted.
Looking at Jin Tong, he suddenly felt awkward and skeptical. Everything seemed different from the plan Liu Mobai had given him.
Can these people… really kill Bu Fang?
…
Bu Fang pulled a chair and sat in front of his restaurant.
The warm wind blew, drying the air as if all the moisture had been swept away.
It was so hot that people would sweat even while doing nothing.
These days, business wasn't really good, mainly because of the changes in the Immortal Cooking Realm.
However, these incidents had nothing to do with Bu Fang. He was just the owner of a small restaurant.
In the distance, the sounds of footsteps arose.
Bu Fang squinted his eyes.
He then saw Gongshu Ban and Xuanyuan Xiahui.
After learning that Bu Fang had won the Immortal Chef Tournament, Xuanyuan Xiahui and the others were so surprised, especially Xuanyuan Xiahui. He still remembered the first time he met Bu Fang.
But now, Bu Fang had soared up into the sky, while he was still wandering around this place.
The gap between them had become bigger and bigger.
Because of the changes in the Immortal Cooking Realm, all the Immortal Chefs closed their restaurants. Besides, even if they were to open, there wouldn't be many customers since everybody was so anxious and wary.
Gongshu Ban and Xuanyuan Xiahui chatted with Bu Fang for a while and left. They didn't linger in his restaurant.
Bu Fang stood up. He was about to return to his kitchen to practice his cooking skills and study new recipes.
Although Bu Fang had the system, he clearly understood that he needed to put in more effort if he wanted to improve. He knew that his cooking skills would only advance through that extra effort.
Yawning, Bu Fang stretched his back lazily. Then, he moved to shut his doors. However, just as he was about to close them, his eyes narrowed, looking in the distance.
There, two people, a little boy and a woman, were walking slowly at the end of the long street.
As they walked, black clouds were rolling above their heads, brewing a horrible pressure and aura.
Many people in the long street stared at them in fright.
The woman wore sexy garments that set out her beautiful, alluring face. She swayed her hips, exuding an attractive aura.
When the woman appeared and caught people's eyes, many of them gasped in admiration.
Such a beautiful woman could catch people's attention easily.
The two were actually heading towards Immortal Chef Little Store.
Since Bu Fang was about to close his doors to study his new recipe, he was surprised. He could sense the provoking intention from the two.
They were pretty far away, but they could still send over their intentions.
Bu Fang couldn't help but frown. However, he didn't do much. He just glared at the other two for a while, then pulled the doors of his restaurant.
In the distance, Jin Tong saw Bu Fang and mused.
That's the opponent Liu Mobai mentioned? He doesn't look different.
Liu Mobai got the inheritance of the Nine Revolution Clan's Qilin Chef, so he wasn't weak. His cooking skills weren't bad either. However, he was still defeated in a Chef's Challenge.
Defeat was almost impossible. After all, the Nine Revolution Clan's Nether Chefs were really good at Chef's Challenges. They rarely lost in one.
The inheritance Liu Mobai got was from a Qilin Chef of the Nine Revolution Clan, which was a high-quality inheritance. Having that alone would make him highly-respected in the Dark Nether Cooking Realm.
However, he was defeated in the Immortal Cooking Realm.
This made Jin Tong very curious. He wanted to know what strange skills the Immortal Chefs from the Immortal Cooking Realm had.
From a distance, Jin Tong's eyes met Bu Fang's eyes midair.
Jin Tong's gaze was full of provocation. Then, he sped up.
In just a blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the doors of Immortal Chef Little Store, his mocking eyes gazing at Bu Fang.
The black Nether energy from Jin Tong and the alluring woman astonished Bu Fang.
Nether energy?
Since they had Nether energy, it just confirmed that they weren't citizens of the Immortal Cooking Realm.
At such a sensitive time, the Dark Nether Cooking Realm's people came here…
Bu Fang took a deep breath.
Jin Tong was about to talk, but his face turned perplexed.
That was because Bu Fang had just given him a glance and closed the doors without a word.
Jin Tong stood at his spot, feeling the movement of air as the doors closed shut.
His face couldn't help but grimace. "Really crazy..."
Jin Tong exhaled. Then, his hand shook, and a giant wok, which looked like a cauldron, appeared.
The corners of his mouth curved into an evil grin, wielding the wok as he aimed at the restaurant's doors.
