Chapter 5577: In High Demand
These young people, though newly ascended from the lower realms, possessed an unparalleled resourcefulness and audacity. Anyone foolish enough to trespass on their property and attempt to seize their resources would meet a bizarre and terrifying end.
Some researchers discovered that the corpses hanging by their door died in various ways, each more horrifying than the last. The Nine Palaces Death Array was no joke. It genuinely offered countless ways for intruders to experience death.
From the fifth day onward, no one dared to foolishly invade the small bamboo courtyard again. In the hearts of many in the Holy Domain, this two-story bamboo building had almost become synonymous with the devil itself.
"Oh, for goodness sake! I've been queuing since yesterday, almost ten hours now, how can you just do this?"
"You just came and snatched my spot without a word!"
"Get out of here!"
"Yeah, Sister, you're being utterly unreasonable. This spot belongs to that young lady, move along!" A few cultivators behind her laughed, trying to drive her away. Their shifty eyes, however, were fixed on the graceful woman ahead of them in the queue.
The woman, called "Sister," appeared honest and simple, around fifty years old. She trembled with rage, pointing at the cultivators who kept telling her to move, and then her trembling finger aimed at the elegant woman, "You, you all are going too far!"
"I'm the one who's been queuing since yesterday. You all have been behind me the whole time, how could you not know whose spot this is?"
"Oh, Sister, don't lie! I'm clearly the one who's been standing here queuing, right, guys?" The woman gave a seductive wink to the three lecherous men behind her.
The three men immediately swelled with pride, nodding repeatedly and chuckling, "Yes, yes, we can vouch for it, this spot is indeed yours, young lady."
"What's all this shouting about?" Mei Ye, responsible for maintaining order, floated out, looking impatient. "We're about to open for business, and you're still arguing!"
"Little brother, please be fair!" the older woman cried out in anger. "These people are colluding to help this woman steal my spot!"
Mei Ye glanced at them, a hint of impatience barely concealed in his eyes. They would arrive a few minutes before Chenshi to open the shop. However, almost every day, people would argue and fight over a spot. Today's incident wasn't even that bad; yesterday's was more outrageous, with several burly men beating someone bloody to grab a spot.
Of course, those who fought for spots wouldn't have a good outcome. They would be permanently blacklisted by Holy Domain First Tower, never to buy anything from the store in their lifetime!
Mei Ye didn't waste words with them. He directly pulled out the Time Reversal Stone along with an Image Talisman Array to review what had just happened.
Then, he looked coldly at the preening woman, "Miss, I advise you to leave this place immediately! This is your only warning! Dare to disrupt the order of Holy Domain First Tower, and you will be placed on our blacklist."
The beautiful woman's smile instantly froze.
The older woman beside her let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest and quickly praising, "They say Holy Domain First Tower maintains excellent order, and it's truly no lie." She had been queuing since yesterday afternoon, all the way until now. If she still couldn't buy some provisions, that would have been truly frustrating.
