Seeing the furious look on Mei Xiang's face, Yang Zhen was somewhat disappointed.
I thought this bastard would just start fighting without saying a word, but it turns out he's quite the yeller.
Yang Zhen glanced at Mei Xiang and said, " The Black Lotus Saintess isn't here either. Tell me, if I kill you all, won't the Black Lotus Saintess be so angry she'll vomit blood?"
Before everyone could react to Yang Zhen's swift and decisive slap, they heard Yang Zhen words and opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but they couldn't utter a single word.
Yang Zhen actually wanted to kill everyone in the Black Lotus Holy Land?
This... is utterly delusional.
Although the people present did not know Yang Zhen's specific background, they had heard Qi Yunling and others mention that Yang Zhen was not even a member of a Great Wilderness lineage.
For a cultivator at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer to actually try to kill everyone from the Black Lotus Holy Land present, either Yang Zhen has gone mad, or everyone present has gone mad with their ears.
Mei Xiang, enraged, laughed coldly and roared at Yang Zhen, "You brat, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Aurora Holy Land and the Azure Luan Sect backing you up. You're just a mere Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivator; what makes you think you can turn the world upside down?"
Yang Zhen waved to the Shameless Cat in the distance, signaling it to come over, before glancing at Mei Xiang and saying, "Are you going to fight or not? If not, go back and stay here. Don't get in my way. Oh, right, you pushed me, so I slapped you. Now we're even. You don't need to be so angry. The dignified Black Lotus Holy Land doesn't even have this much magnanimity?"
Those who were still in shock were almost petrified High Antiquity hearing this.
That makes a lot of sense, but why does it feel a little strange?
Seeing the furious look on Mei Xiang's face, everyone suddenly realized that Mei Xiang was Half-Step Great Saint Sage, while the guy in front of them, called Yang Tieniu, was only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer.
How could a cultivator like this dare to talk about settling accounts with Half-Step Great Saint?
"You bastard, you're asking for death!" Mei Xiang roared, and a blood-red aura suddenly erupted from his body, blotting out the sky and making him completely invisible.
Yang Zhen was startled and shoved Qi Yunling away, yelling, "Damn it, you resort to self-destruction when you can't win an argument? Is the Black Lotus Holy Land all this unreasonable?"
Self-destruction?
Upon hearing this term, the surrounding crowd almost burst out laughing. It's truly terrifying how ignorant people are! The Black Lotus Gang Qi of the Black Lotus Holy Land is notoriously violent, a terrifying force capable of unleashing a cultivator's full potential, yet Yang Zhen described it as self-destruction?
Seeing Yang Zhen's truly desperate expression, Qi Yunling was terrified. She grabbed Yang Zhen and said, " Yang Tieniu, run! You... how could you be so impulsive? Even Sister Azure Luan wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Black Lotus Holy Land! You... run!"
The middle-aged woman from the Azure Luan Sect also snorted coldly, her longsword flashing as it was drawn. Standing beside Yang Zhen, she said in a deep voice, " Mei Xiang, do you really want to start a war with my Azure Luan Sect?"
Mei Xiang laughed loudly, his Black Lotus Gang Qi growing even stronger. He charged towards the middle-aged woman with an almost ferocious expression, roaring, "This is a battle between me and this little beast. What does it have to do with your Azure Luan Sect? If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being impolite."
The middle-aged woman looked troubled, while Qingguan and True Person Shengquan watched coldly from the side, clearly not willing to break ties over Yang Tieniu and the Black Lotus Holy Land.
But Qi Yunling, that little girl, looked like she was going to protect Yang Zhen at all costs, which made Bo Tai look extremely anxious.
Just then, a deafening roar erupted, nearly deafening everyone around.
Nether Luan's eyes flashed with ferocity as she stared intently at Mei Xiang, directly dispersing the Black Lotus Gang Qi emanating from Mei Xiang's body.
Seeing that if Mei Xiang took another step closer, Nether Luan would attack, not only everyone present, but even the middle-aged woman from the Azure Luan Sect was startled.
Nether Luan is High Antiquity Saint Spirit. If it were to suddenly erupt, no one present would be able to stop it. Naturally, Mei Xiang would not dare to provoke Nether Luan lightly.
The sudden turn of events startled even Yang Zhen. He looked at the enraged Nether Luan with a strange expression, then walked over and patted Nether Luan's paw, saying, "Don't get so angry. It's not worth ruining your health over a clown."
Nether Luan let out a low growl, staring at Mei Xiang with a warning look that left Mei Xiang speechless, his face filled with absurdity.
Indeed, who among those present could have imagined that Nether Luan, whom they had only met once, would actually take the initiative to protect Yang Zhen?
Even if you didn't tell anyone, just seeing it with your own eyes would feel absurd and unbelievable.
" Mei Xiang, come back!"
A cold snort rang out, and an old man in dark red robes spoke in a deep voice beside the Black Lotus Holy Land.
Mei Xiang stared at Yang Zhen with a resentful expression on his face. He snorted coldly and was about to speak when Yang Zhen walked up behind Mei Xiang and slapped him again.
"Get back home! Staying here is embarrassing. You don't even listen to your elders anymore?"
Seeing that slap, everyone present felt a chill run down their spine.
Is this still the same Yang Tieniu cowered like a coward after being pushed away?
Seeing the disgusted look on Mei Xiang's face, as if he had swallowed a dead fly, everyone present subconsciously moved away from Yang Zhen.
Just as Meixiang was about to explode, the old man in dark red clothes burst out with a violent blast of air, covering the sky and the sun. The energy of the surrounding world became violent. A pair of almost scarlet eyes projected from the hood, staring at Yang Zhen and said, "This little friend, do you know when is enough?"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "If someone treats me well, I'll repay them tenfold; if someone bullies me even an inch, I'll slap them across the face."
The dark red-clad old man laughed loudly, almost hysterically, and looked at Yang Zhen, saying, "Good, very good, I'll remember your words. Once this matter is over, it will be your death day. I am Hei Qiu, have you heard me?"
"A black ball?" Yang Zhen was stunned, almost spitting out his drink. "I've heard of white balls, red balls, and tabby balls, but a black ball? I've never heard of one."
"Hmph! Sharp-tongued!" Hei Qiu snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Upon hearing Hei Qiu's words, everyone from the Azure Luan Sect and the Aurora Holy Land turned pale.
A collective gasp filled the air, and the gazes directed at Yang Zhen were as if they were looking at a madman, an idiot, or a corpse.
Yang Zhen scratched his slightly itchy nose and muttered to himself, "Damn, it seems I've messed with a really bad guy."
Qi Yunling could only manage a wry smile, and whispered, "What do you mean 'seems like'? Even Nether Luan trembles at the name Hei Qiu."
Yang Zhen glanced at Nether Luan, and immediately felt a little strange.
The massive Nether Luan actually showed a look of fear, as if it could understand human speech.
However, Yang Zhen realized the next moment that it wasn't that Nether Luan could understand human speech, but that the killing intent emanating from Hei Qiu was too strong. He really didn't know how many people this old guy had killed, and why he was still alive.
The scene fell into complete silence. Everyone, as if trembling with fear, secretly peeked at the Hei Qiu beneath the dark red robe, their faces filled with utter horror.
Even Qingguan and True Person Shengquan showed expressions of fear and vigilance, staring intently at Hei Qiu, but Hei Qiu seemed oblivious to their presence.
Just then, a strange-sounding voice came from behind. "Damn, kid, it's lively here! Hey, not bad for a bird! Oh dear, looks like you've messed with a tough nut to crack. Are you sure you can handle this? If not, let's run!"
