The mere mention of "fellow villager" startled Xue Shou and the others, their faces changing drastically. They stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief, then at the Saint Realm expert, their expressions utterly absurd.
A mere youth at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer actually calls a Saint Realm expert "fellow villager"?
Who would believe that if I told them?
No, Yang Zhen is not a disciple of the Great Wilderness Era. Although no one present knew Yang Zhen's specific background, there were subtle differences between the Great Wilderness Era's inheritors and current cultivators, both in appearance and aura fluctuations, which everyone could still discern.
The Saint Realm expert was clearly a cultivator from the Great Wilderness Era, and had probably only recently awakened. How could such a powerful being possibly be from the same hometown as this unknown youth?
A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed across Xue Shou's face. He turned back, staring intently at Yang Zhen, and said, "Boy, don't think that just because you're eloquent, you can establish a relationship with a Saint Realm expert. Saint Realm expert is not someone a kid like you can afford to offend..."
At this point, Xue Shou smiled and respectfully said to the Saint Realm expert, "Senior, we dared not be too presumptuous during your enlightenment just now. We never expected that he would disturb your enlightenment. Now that you have awakened, we will immediately kill him to avenge your anger!"
As he spoke, Xue Shou suddenly unleashed an extremely fierce aura, and before the Saint Realm expert could speak, he charged towards Yang Zhen.
You are no match for him!
The Saint Realm expert spoke slowly, causing everyone around him to stagger and look at Xue Shou with strange expressions.
Upon Xue Shou's body trembled violently, and he collapsed to the ground in front of Yang Zhen. He turned around and looked at the Saint Realm expert with an incredulous expression, his face filled with absurdity.
The Saint Realm expert spoke; he actually spoke.
Moreover, these words were not spoken to Yang Zhen, but to him and Xue Shou.
Is a Half-Step Great Saint no match for someone at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer?
Can this kid in front of me still be killed?
How many of these Half-Step Great Saint on our side would dare to kill us?
Xue Shou alone... is no match for Yang Zhen!
This drove Xue Shou to the brink of madness. What did he mean by saying I was no match for him?
All those years of cultivation wasted?
boom--!
A near-violent power erupted from Xue Shou, instantly conjuring a longsword that sprang to the ground and charged towards Yang Zhen: "Whether he's a match for Yang Zhen or not, we'll have to try to find out."
Yang Zhen's gaze never left the Nine Dragons Great Saint. After not seeing him for a few days, the Nine Dragons Great Saint's aura had become even more profound. Even Yang Zhen felt a sense of loss when he glanced at him.
Seeing Xue Shou charging towards him, Yang Zhen's Great Deficiency Sword suddenly struck first, hitting Xue Shou squarely in the face. Xue Shou a wail and flew backward. If someone hadn't caught him, his landing would have been quite an unpleasant experience.
Yang Zhen looked at Xue Shou a little embarrassed and said, "Sorry, your pose was just too cool, I couldn't help but take the picture. Why don't you try it again?"
Xue Shou roared and charged at Yang Zhen like a wild beast, but was held back by the other Half-Step Great Saint. Without saying a word, he hurriedly left the place.
Yang Zhen's face darkened, and his Great Deficiency Sword roared as he stared at Xue Shou and the others, saying, "Did this Sage of Saunter let you leave?"
As Yang Zhen was about to give chase, the Nine Dragons Great Saint waved his hand and said, "Boy, don't chase after him."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, looked at the Nine Dragons Great Saint with surprise, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there really going to be a change in the world here?"
The Nine Dragons Great Saint nodded and said, "It's about to begin!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around them became extremely excited.
No one noticed that even the expression on the face of the Nine Dragons Great Saint had become very solemn. Everyone present was immersed in the excitement of the great change in the world.
In this world, whenever there are unusual celestial phenomena, extraordinary treasures or other inheritances will surely emerge. Whatever the outcome, it is an extremely rare and fortunate event.
Yang Zhen felt uneasy. Looking at the solemn-faced Nine Dragons Great Saint, she hesitated and asked, "What's going on? Something seems strange here!"
The Nine Dragons Great Saint nodded and said, " The Samsara Bell!"
Upon hearing the name "Samsara Bell," countless people cheered in unison, and many cultivators even began sending signals to their fellow disciples in the surrounding world, clearly summoning the strongest members of their sects.
The Mad Crone's face also lit up with surprise as she approached the Nine Dragons Great Saint, asking respectfully yet joyfully, "Senior, is there truly Samsara Bell about to be born here?"
Nine Dragons glanced at the Mad Crone and nodded, saying, "That's right!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of surprise and delight on the faces of the several Half-Step Great Saint surrounding the Mad Crone completely blossomed.
Yang Zhen frowned, looked at the changes in the surrounding world, and suddenly a puzzled look appeared on his face. His gaze toward the Nine Dragons Great Saint was strange.
" The Samsara Bell... is it really that evil?"
evil?
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the eccentric Mad Crone and the others chuckled and explained to Yang Zhen, "Young friend, you may not know this, but all treasures of heaven and earth at the level of the Samsara Bell are extremely powerful beings, and most of them have developed sentience. Therefore, cultivators with lower cultivation levels can sense the unfriendly aura emanating from these treasures, which is why they perceive them as somewhat evil."
Yang Zhen shook his head, about to speak, when the Nine Dragons Great Saint's expression changed. He turned to look at the summit and muttered to himself, "It's begun!"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, especially Yang Zhen. He approached Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, glared at the Shameless Cat, and said, "You three, be careful. Something might have happened here; it could be very dangerous."
The Shameless Cat's face was already showing a solemn expression as he stared at the summit and said, "Don't worry, even that guy Nine Dragons is taking this so seriously, this place is definitely not simple. Do you remember the anomalies we noticed when you used your Earth Master Technique?"
"No abnormalities are the biggest abnormalities?" Yang Zhen asked curiously.
The Shameless Cat nodded and said, "That's just one point; there's another point we've overlooked."
" The Samsara Bell!"
Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, his expression changing drastically. He hurriedly took out the Severed Dragon Disc and leaped into the air.
If the Samsara Bell really is here, then that's troublesome.
When the Samsara Bell appears, it will surely bring devastation to all living beings!
Just then, a hearty laugh pierced the heavens and earth, and the entire northern sky seemed to be covered by a violent force.
Countless people looked up at the northern sky, their faces changing drastically, and they cried out in horror.
"Another Saint Realm expert!"
An endless surge of energy rushed in, engulfing Yang Zhen in the blink of an eye. An old man in gray exclaimed in surprise, waved his sleeves, and laughed loudly at Yang Zhen, saying, "You brat, I'm here, and you dare to stop me? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Yang Zhen was so angry that he jumped up and down, cursing loudly. He watched as a huge, overwhelming sleeve rushed towards him. Who had he offended?
"Damn it, who's got nothing better to do than block your way, old man? This Sage of Saunter doesn't have time to waste on you right now. Get down and stand in front of this fellow villager and wait."
boom--!
A deafening roar rang out as Yang Zhen's sword struck the cuff of a sleeve, sending him flying over a hundred feet. His Qi and Blood surged, but the Severed Dragon Disc in his hand remained unmoved. The next moment, Yang Zhen's expression changed drastically, and he roared at the Shameless Cat and the others, "Run! Run!"
The Shameless Cat's expression changed drastically, and he retreated with Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue.
The old man in gray let out a soft "hmm," and was about to speak to Yang Zhen when his expression suddenly changed.
Snap!
A crisp sound rang out, as if something had broken.
Just one voice was enough to change the expressions of both the Nine Dragons Great Saint and the gray-robed old man.
A gigantic purple vortex suddenly appeared in mid-air and silently sucked Yang Zhen into it.
"Damn it, you old bastard, wait till I get out of Sage of Saunter, I'll make you pay..."
Nine Dragons and the gray-robed elder exchanged a glance, then charged toward Yang Zhen together, disappearing into the purple vortex.
