Chapter 773: Chapter 779: Who Dares to Offend Such a Person? (9/10)
No one expected that Yang Zhen would actually just walk in, as if he were entering his own home, in a manner so straightforward it caused people to question the meaning of life.
But wasn’t this too far-fetched?
Lin Haotian, gifted as he was, and acclaimed as the most astonishing prodigy among the younger generation in the Western Region, hadn’t been able to penetrate the core entrance of Mount Sumeru. Yet, Yang Zhen had stepped in with ease, without even a slight ripple?
As everyone looked at Lin Haotian’s bewildered, life-questioning expression, and his embarrassed readiness to dodge if Yang Zhen were to encounter danger, everyone started to doubt whether Lin Haotian was an imposter.
If Yang Zhen had not activated his Companion Heavenly Fire, everyone would have thought that he was messing with Lin Haotian. However, not only did Yang Zhen possess the Companion Heavenly Fire, but his was even stronger than Lin Haotian’s.
It made no sense that Lin Haotian was blasted away while Yang Zhen remained unscathed. Yang Zhen had mentioned that this was a place of Triple Yin and Singular Yang, at which Lin Haotian had appeared completely clueless. Clearly, in the matter of formations, Lin Haotian wasn’t a match for Yang Zhen.
…
Everyone was almost ready to cheer, particularly the young women present, who were now looking at the low-key Yang Zhen with glittering eyes.
Yue Yazi looked at Yang Zhen with a bewildered face and eyes shimmering with complex emotions.
Mo Shuiyan giggled, gave Yang Zhen a coquettish glare, and mumbled, “This mischievous boy.”
Wu Tao was looking at Yang Zhen with adoration and said blankly after hearing Mo Shuiyan’s words, “Sister, don’t you think Yang Zhen is amazing?”
Mo Shuiyan rubbed Wu Tao’s head and said, “Yes, impressive. Your brother Yang is the most impressive.”
Wu Tao glared at Mo Shuiyan and retorted, “He’s not!”
On top of Mount Sumeru, out of respect for Lin Haotian’s authority, no one dared to make a noise. However, under the Sky Observing Mirror, the crowd wasn’t as restricted.
All the Yaochi Holy Land disciples were cheering and jumping with excitement, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Yang Zhen.
Granny Hu looked at Yang Zhen, her face incredulous and her eyes filled with complex emotions. After a moment, she mumbled, “This boy might actually be a better choice than Lin Haotian.”
Elder Chi beside her grinned and said, “Of course, he’s a better choice. Whether in terms of nature or approach, Yang Zhen surpasses Lin Haotian by far. The only thing that’s slightly lacking is his cultivation. But when has that ever stopped anyone from practicing?”
Elder Geng also nodded and said, “I also believe that Yang Zhen is the better choice.”
Damn it, they’d better choose Yang Zhen. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be doomed?
Elder Geng was perhaps the most hopeful outsider that the Yaochi Holy Land would choose Yang Zhen.
In the Western Region, there were those who dared to offend Lin Haotian, but very few who dared to offend his mentor.
As for those who offended the powers behind Lin Haotian’s mentor, they were just asking for trouble.
Seeing Granny Hu’s eyes still filled with doubt, Elder Geng’s face turned red. If he could, he would make this decision on her behalf.
But then he realized that this decision regarding the entire Yaochi Holy Land wasn’t something Granny Hu could make on her own.
Oh, the agony, the despair!
Elder Geng looked at Granny Hu with a somewhat resentful and conflicted gaze.
At this moment, a tremendous wave of energy suddenly burst from the Sky Observing Mirror. A figure appeared in the air, and with a resounding crash, descended towards the core entrance of Mount Sumeru.
“Yang Zhen, come out!”
Upon hearing this voice, everyone jumped in fright. Whether on top of Mount Sumeru or under the Sky Observing Mirror, all stared in astonishment at the abrupt arrival.
“Oh no!”
Granny Hu’s face turned pale, she quickly stood up in disbelief, “Why is he here?”
“Who…who is it?”
“Such terrifying power, this senior must be a peak practitioner of the Circulation Phase. With such a terrifying presence, how could Yang Zhen have offended such a powerful figure?”
“Has Yang Zhen offended not enough powerful figures? But no matter how you look at it, Yang Zhen doesn’t seem like the type who could provoke such a formidable character.”
Elder Chi, the white-bearded elder, and Elder Geng all wore extremely grave expressions.
Elder Geng, in particular, had a face ashen as death, filled with despair. “It’s over,” he groaned. “The senior figure showed up, how did Yang Zhen offend this entity, could it be… he was also viewing the Sky Observing Mirror?”
Upon hearing Elder Geng, everyone gasped in surprise.
If this senior figure was also observing the Sky Observing Mirror, then didn’t he see everything Yang Zhen was doing?
This time, Yang Zhen put Lin Haotian in an extremely dismal situation. Wounded and looking wretched, he stood in the crowd without a shred of dignity.
Despite suffering injuries, he still was unaware it was all Yang Zhen’s doing. Fully believing his life was under suspicion made matters worse.
While nobody pointed this out and Lin Haotian didn’t disclose it, everyone could tell from his bewildered gaze that Lin Haotian had self-doubts.
Everyone’s desire to crush Yang Zhen blew up like a bubble, going off with a pop. Not only that, but Yang Zhen had them all pinned down. Yet he maintained such a low profile, making Lin Haotian feel sheepish about envy, jealousy and hatred.
Poor Lin Haotian!
At this moment, a chilling wave swept over all those under the Sky Observing Mirror.
Yang Zhen, the bastard, must have been pretending. No wonder he had suddenly become so reserved, despite never previously being one to back down. He was a sycophant to the core.
This was beyond sycophancy. This was blatant bootlicking!
Never before had they seen someone so shameless and pretentious, he was practically gaslighting Lin Haotian to death.
“Elder, who is this senior figure at the Circulation Phase?”
Someone next to Elder Geng asked, his eyes filled with curiosity as if he couldn’t quite comprehend how Yang Zhen had managed to offend such a strong entity.
Elder Geng glanced at the practitioner beside him and uttered in a solemn tone, “Heavenly Pivot Holy Land, Yue Qian!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing ‘Heavenly Pivot Holy Land, Yue Qian’, all those present gasped in unison, their voices distorted with shock. Their faces drained of color as they clapped their mouths shut in fear.
No one expected that the aggressive Circulation Phase powerhouse who seemed hell-bent on killing Yang Zhen, was none other than Yue Qian of the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land!
“Is… is it the same Yue Qian who, in a fit of rage because Lin Haotian was injured, annihilated an entire holy land?”
Hissss!
Upon hearing this, everyone present drew in a sharp breath.
Why would no one in the Western Region dare to offend Lin Haotian so easily?
Because once in a journey of hardship, Lin Haotian was seriously injured by a senior figure from a holy land, and was bedridden for half a month.
In that half a month, Yue Qian single-handedly massacred an entire holy land with his sword, leaving no survivors!
Such notorious overprotection was unheard of, let alone witnessed.
And not just this, Yue Qian’s ruthlessness was so frightening in the Western Region that it could make anyone pee their pants in fear.
Who would dare to offend such a person?
Everyone could only stare, dumbfounded, at Yue Qian under the Sky Observing Mirror, swallowing hard. Some even made assumptions on whether Yang Zhen would break down into seven or eight pieces after his death.
At Mount Sumeru, all the faces turned deathly pale at the sight of Yue Qian.
Especially privileged figures like Yunla and Wan Jian, going pale at the sight of Yue Qian’s murderous momentum, casting a glance full of regret at Yang Zhen and sighing.
If Lin Haotian had taken action, everyone could have combined their forces to resist him. But if Yue Qian were to act, the people present wouldn’t be enough to satisfy his killing intent.
Yang Zhen… is done for.
