Chapter 997: Spring Rain Inn

In the sky opposite Meng Zhang, a handsome young man, accompanied by two middle-aged individuals, stared at Meng Zhang with a contemptuous gaze.

"So this is how the Spring Rain Inn protects its guests?"

"Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can cause chaos within the Spring Rain Inn, disturbing the guests at will?"

Meng Zhang didn't pay any attention to the provocative person; instead, he inquired with the inn's staff.

Even in moments of intense anger, he didn't lose his rationality, understanding the importance of making the best choice.

Daring to openly provoke him within the Spring Rain Inn was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.

Meng Zhang was an outsider in the capital city, thus he sought to utilize all available external forces as much as possible.

Pulling down the Spring Rain Inn with a strong background and making it an ally would be a good choice.

Meng Zhang's deep voice echoed throughout the entire inn, faintly reaching the streets outside.

A plump man with a forced smile couldn't sit still any longer, having to fly over and position himself between Meng Zhang and the three individuals opposite.

"Excuse me, sirs. If you have any grievances, please resolve them elsewhere. The Spring Rain Inn has many guests, and I kindly request that you not involve the innocent."

When Meng Zhang checked into the inn, he had seen this plump man once; he seemed to be the inn's manager.

As a cultivator of the Gold Core stage, daring to step forward at this moment showed a certain level of courage.

However, he didn't respond to Meng Zhang's questioning and his words seemed to lean towards the provocateurs across from them. This indicated that the person provoking them had a remarkable background.

Meng Zhang sneered with disdain, "What a ridiculous Spring Rain Inn. Allowing riffraff to harass the guests without restraint. The spiritual stones I've spent are as good as feeding dogs."

The plump man remained silent, as if he hadn't heard Meng Zhang's words at all.

It was the young man opposite who started shouting and cursing.

"Meng Zhang, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

An audacious individual emerged from somewhere, daring to be so arrogant. Meng Zhang couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent.

A cultivator's age can't usually be judged by appearances. However, the young man opposite was indeed not very old.

Considering his age, possessing a Cultivation Base at the early stage of Primordial Spirit would be considered exceptional even among the outstanding individuals of the Middle-Earth Continent.

But why did he dare to provoke him face-to-face?Those two middle-aged individuals, one at the mid-stage of Primordial Spirit, and the other at the early stage of Primordial Spirit, even if they teamed up, Meng Zhang wouldn't be afraid.

Since the other party dared to come to provoke him, Meng Zhang wasn't one to swallow his pride; he had to teach them a lesson.

Meng Zhang was about to take action when a figure flew over from a distance.

"It's a misunderstanding, all of this is just a misunderstanding, let's not act impulsively," the voice arrived before the person did.

Sun Sheng appeared quite anxious, hurrying over in haste.

While flying towards them, he shouted loudly.

"Everyone, please don't resort to violence, let's talk it out."

Sun Sheng landed between Meng Zhang and the others, separating them.

"Sect Master Meng, let me introduce, this young hero is the closed-door disciple of Swordmaster, and also his bloodline descendant, Young Master Ouyang Huajin."

"Young Master Ouyang, Sect Master Meng is not only the leader of a sect but also serves in the Five Punishments Guard, greatly favored by Lord Han Yao."

"Both of you are outstanding individuals, the pillars of our Dali Dynasty. We must not let any misunderstandings damage our rapport."

Initially looking down on Meng Zhang, Ouyang Huajin's face turned unpleasant upon hearing the name Han Yao.

"Han Yao has been in opposition to my mentor at court, and even his lackeys dare to ruin my good matters. They deserve to be killed."

Ouyang Huajin's words were filled with a chilling intent to kill.

When Shang Jianqing, a disciple of Swordmaster, challenged Taiyi Sect, he was publicly defeated by Meng Zhang's senior disciple Niu Dawei. Could it be that his sect wanted to reclaim that lost face?

Meng Zhang stared at Ouyang Huajin with an unwavering expression, not willing to give an inch.

Seeing both sides on the verge of conflict, Sun Sheng sighed helplessly.

"Everyone, this is the capital city. Are you really planning to engage in a battle here?"

The capital city was the imperial capital of the Dali Dynasty, and it was tightly controlled.

If anything happened in the city, the upper echelons of the court would know about it immediately.

Ouyang Huajin had previously skirted around the issue, not directly attacking and keeping the impact limited to the vicinity of Meng Zhang's residence.

However, if the two of them were to engage in a real battle, the commotion would definitely be hard to conceal.

If a Primordial Spirit battle erupted in the capital city, and it alarmed Ba Wudi, even Swordmaster wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.Regardless of how arrogant the playboys or how influential the nobles might be, they all knew that the capital city had strict rules that couldn't be easily violated.

Ba Wudi, as a powerful expert at the Yang God realm, could easily grasp everything happening within the entire city.

If the commotion caused was too significant and drew his blame, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ba Wudi commanded great authority and was by no means a benevolent ruler.

Ouyang Huajin stomped his foot in the air, unwilling to accept this outcome.

"I'll spare you for today, you country bumpkin. This matter isn't over. In a few days, I'll come find you again."

"Don't think that Han Yao can protect you. He can't even ensure his own safety, let alone spare time to care about lackeys like you."

Leaving behind these harsh words, Ouyang Huajin and the two middle-aged individuals left with their reluctance evident.

Provoked for no apparent reason and threatened by the other party, Meng Zhang was equally infuriated.

If he didn't consider the rules of the Dali Dynasty, he would have really wanted to keep them here and give them a proper lesson.

Watching Ouyang Huajin and his companions' figures disappear into the distance, Sun Sheng quietly advised.

"Sect Master Meng, don't stoop to the level of these young people. You are a person of great stature; tolerate a bit for now."

"What exactly happened here must be explained to me today. Otherwise, don't blame me for not maintaining our relationship."

Meng Zhang expressed his dissatisfaction to Sun Sheng.

He had no intention of staying in the Spring Rain Inn any longer.

Fortunately, all of his belongings were with him, and he hadn't left anything in the courtyard.

He gestured to Sun Sheng and was ready to find a place to discuss the matter in detail.

The innkeeper of the inn flew over with a somewhat awkward expression, wanting to say something but ultimately refraining.

Meng Zhang treated him as if he didn't exist, not acknowledging him at all, and directly flew out of the inn with Sun Sheng.

The plump man gazed at Meng Zhang's departing figure, sighing helplessly.

In this matter, the Spring Rain Inn was indeed in the wrong.

Since the guests had spent spiritual stones to stay at the inn, it was the inn's duty to ensure they were not disturbed by external factors.

Due to his concerns about Ouyang Jian, the Swordmaster's influence, and his unwillingness to offend Ouyang Huajin, the innkeeper didn't stand by Meng Zhang's side. Such an approach was neither ethical nor did it bode well for the inn's reputation.
