Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 907: Chapter 933: Because I’m Handsome! Chapter 907: Chapter 933: Because I’m Handsome! Yang Zhen didn’t know why these exiled guys were all so arrogant, looking down on others with such disdainful airs—as if they were just asking for a beating sooner or later.

Especially this old lady right in front of him, Yang Zhen had said so much, yet it seemed like she didn’t believe a single word. Yang Zhen felt that to understand what was really going on here, he needed to show some real skills to shock this old lady.

When it came to showing off, the Sao Saint had never failed!

Moon, watching from the side, looked at Yang Zhen with a face full of curiosity, then turned to look at her grandmother’s expression, admiring Yang Zhen even more.

With her grandmother’s personality, if Yang Zhen started pleading persistently, it would have no effect whatsoever; it would only make his grandmother look down on him more. But Yang Zhen didn’t plead at all; he just retorted sharply, which turned out to be more effective than any words could have been.

Moon struggled to hold back her laughter—this was definitely not the time to burst out laughing. Moreover, in her heart, she couldn’t explain why, but suddenly a glimmer of hope arose. Perhaps Yang Zhen might really be able to ignite her grandmother’s will to live.

Seeing Yang Zhen glaring, standing his ground, Moon’s gaze became more intense, increasingly curious about what interesting incidents might occur between Yang Zhen and her grandmother.

Although Yang Zhen was merely at the first level of the Circulation Phase, Moon wasn’t worried about his safety. Why?

Because he was handsome! That’s right, her grandmother had always had a soft spot for young men who were handsome and talented, especially ones with personality—and her grandmother’s favorites had always been just such young men.

Was Yang Zhen handsome?

Moon’s gaze landed on Yang Zhen’s face—oh wow, explosively handsome!

Yang Zhen had no idea that, in this short moment, so many thoughts had raced through Moon’s mind; he was still thinking about what tactics to use to make the two of them believe him when he saw the grandmother suddenly open her eyes wide, staring at him intensely.

The sudden move startled Yang Zhen, and immediately stirred up his temper. Glaring back, he said, “What’s the matter, mad with embarrassment?”

After saying this, Yang Zhen had already prepared to make a run for it.

When he entered earlier, Yang Zhen had only temporarily lifted the restriction on the stone wall. He was confident he could dash out of this stone chamber instantly. And if this old fogey and the girl called Moon dared to follow him through, despite their higher cultivation and realm, they would surely get stuck in the wall.

The delightful thought of that was enough to get him a little excited.

Looking at the grandmother, with a face full of rage, Yang Zhen actually started to wish she’d take the bait and strike out in anger.

However, what surprised Yang Zhen was that the grandmother did not lash out in anger. Instead, she looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, “Boy, do you know where this place is?”

Yang Zhen was taken aback and retorted, “Old lady, wherever I go, I never care what place it is. If I want to go somewhere—even if it’s the Nine Nether Purgatory—I’ve never been a coward.”

A look of amazement crossed the grandmother’s face, followed by a sudden burst of loud laughter, which nearly made Yang Zhen turn and run.

Not just Yang Zhen, even Moon was startled, utterly confused by her grandmother’s sudden laughter, looking at her with bewilderment, then at Yang Zhen with some concern.

True, the grandmother liked young men who were good-looking, talented, and had personality—but, everyone familiar with her knew that she had a bigger personality herself.

The term ‘mercurial’ didn’t come close to describing her; not just strangers, but even within the Heavenly Moon Sacred Ground, the number of young people who had won her approval in the past thousand years could be counted on one hand.

But obviously, although there was no fondness in her laughter, there was no fury either; Yang Zhen was still safe, for the moment.

“What are you laughing at?” Yang Zhen glared and asked, “Don’t believe me?”

“This old lady believes,” the grandmother said, her face revealing a mocking smile, “Young man, being able to arrive here undetected already proves you can lead us out. But what about after that?”

“What about after?” Yang Zhen blinked uncomprehendingly at the grandmother.

After getting out, naturally, she should tell the Sao Saint all about the Great Nether Dynasty; then she could go on her merry way, and the Sao Saint would do his own thing.

The grandmother took a deep breath and said, “Right now, the Great Nether Dynasty isn’t the fallen kingdom it was a myriad of years ago. There are as many as five Half-step Great Saints. Although most of them are still in deep seclusion, the emergence of just one is enough to do as they please in the Great Desolation main world. Once you’re out of the Heavenly Cave, can you evade the pursuit of a Half-step Great Saint?”

“Who said I’m leaving?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, looking disdainfully at the old woman, then said as he moved to the wall, “There isn’t much time. Make it quick, elder—leave or stay? If you decide not to go, then I’m going.”

“You’re not going?” The grandmother’s face showed a trace of odd fascination, curiously asking, “If you’re not leaving, then what will you do here?”

Yang Zhen scanned the area and, leaning close to the grandmother, whispered, “The treasure guarded by a scolding dragon is bound to be something good, right?”

The grandmother’s body shook, and she looked at Yang Zhen in astonishment, exclaiming, “Are you mad? Do you know…”

Yang Zhen waved his hand, cutting her off, “Mad or not is not for you to worry about. Forget it; it seems you really don’t want to talk. I’ll go ask someone else then.”

With that, Yang Zhen leaped towards the wall of the cave, vanishing into the stone chamber in the blink of an eye.

Granny and Yue’er looked at each other in a daze, completely caught by surprise. How could they have expected Yang Zhen to just up and leave without any hesitation?

Yue’er glanced at the wall that had returned to calm, hesitated for a moment as if she was struggling to say something, and finally, as though she couldn’t hold it in any longer, she bit her lip and said to Granny, “Granny, what should we do?”

Granny snorted coldly and closed her eyes before saying, “Just an arrogant youngster, that’s all. Now that the Great Nether Dynasty is almost completely mobilized to besiege Chilong, and he dares to eye Chilong’s possessions, he’s practically courting death.”

Having said that, Granny hesitated for a moment and then added, “Wait and see. If that kid can really create some trouble, to our advantage, then we can try to see if we can get out.”

“But… will he die?” Yue’er asked with a worried expression.

Granny glared at her and after a long look at Yue’er, she sighed and said, “Yue’er, you’re just too kind. Remember, in the Great Desolation, it’s a world of deception and cunning, where even your closest kin might stab you in the back, let alone a mad youngster we barely know. If he can come back alive, I will grant him a great fortune…”

Before she could finish, Granny’s expression abruptly changed, her demeanor turning serious as she stared at a section of the wall.

Yang Zhen’s head popped back in, an expression of exasperated resignation on his face as he helplessly asked, “Um… could you tell me which way is north?”

Pfft!

Unable to hold back, Yue’er burst out laughing on the spot, then turned to see Granny’s stupefied face and couldn’t help but start laughing uproariously, almost unable to stand straight.

Yang Zhen was helpless; although he could move freely underground, his sense of direction was really terrible. At this moment, he couldn’t show his face above ground, and after going in circles, he had gotten lost and had to follow the residual breath back here.

Granny, looking dumbfounded, failed to react in time, so Yang Zhen, with no other choice, turned his gaze to Yue’er.

Yue’er, from behind Granny, secretly pointed in a direction, clearly indicating the way to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen chortled and said, “Thank you, Miss, if there’s a chance, this Sao Saint will come back to take you out. All that nonsense about a Half-step Great Saint, when faced with this Sao Saint, they can only fret.”

With that, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “See you later!”

It wasn’t until Yang Zhen withdrew his head that Granny finally snapped back to her senses, angrily exclaiming, “This is preposterous, how utterly preposterous of that boy!”

Yue’er, stifling a smile, said, “Granny, I don’t know why, but I feel like he might actually be able to cause some trouble for the Great Nether Dynasty.”

“Hmph!”

Granny snorted and, taking Yue’er’s hand, said, “Your intuition has always been accurate. Since that’s the case, let’s go out too. Even an ignorant youngster doesn’t fear a Half-step Great Saint and the Great Nether Dynasty, so what should I be afraid of!”

Having said that, Granny smashed the wall in front of her with a slap, shocking Yue’er with a wide-eyed gaze.

Yang Zhen, heading north, was startled by the roaring noise behind him, quickly extended his divine consciousness to investigate, and was utterly dumbfounded.

“Oh boy, that old lady managed to shatter the prohibition with one punch?”

Impressive, very impressive.

Now Yang Zhen was becoming more certain that this old lady’s identity must be extraordinary. Though she seemed to have only Circulation Phase cultivation, her true strength was definitely not limited to that.

Just as Yang Zhen was thinking of seizing the opportunity to burst onto the surface, an icy voice directly reached his mind.

“Hmph, boy, the treasure guarded by Chilong was created by the Eastern Desolation Emperor in the Nether State continent. Whichever power obtains it is bound to become paramount. With your strength, don’t covet that item. If you can cause some trouble for the Great Nether Dynasty and get out alive, I will grant you a great opportunity, so our encounter won’t have been in vain.”

Yang Zhen laughed loudly and transmitted his voice in response, “Old lady, you don’t need to make trouble for the Great Nether Dynasty. Just get out alive, and this Sao Saint will grant your Heavenly Moon Sacred Ground a great opportunity!”

Eastern Desolation Emperor!

He hadn’t expected it was something of the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s.

Speaking of which, Yang Zhen and this Eastern Desolation Emperor had a kind of fate. If Yang Zhen remembered correctly, he still carried an imperial mark of the Eastern Desolation Emperor inside his body. At first, he thought it was a liability, but now, it seemed it might come in handy.

Behind Yang Zhen, Granny was trembling with rage. As Yue’er looked on bewildered, Granny cursed aloud, “This is outrageous, simply outrageous.”

Yue’er’s face flickered with uncertainty as she stared at Granny, who had never been so enraged. Although she didn’t understand what had happened, she dared not ask. She could only vaguely guess that it might be related to Yang Zhen and restrained the strange expression on her face, following closely behind and growing more curious about what exactly Granny had said to Yang Zhen.

Just when Yue’er couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to ask, Granny’s face suddenly showed a hint of joy as she grabbed Yue’er’s hand and said, “Quick, follow me, I’ve managed to contact Lu Yan and the others.”

“What?” Yue’er was stunned, then overjoyed, and said, “Has Commander Lu Yan really come?”

Granny nodded solemnly and said, “Even though we’ve made contact, we can’t be too careless. The situation for Lu Yan and the others doesn’t look optimistic, and it seems there’s been a problem with Chilong.”

Meanwhile, Yang Zhen, grinning, could already hear the thunderous roars of Chilong.
