Upon hearing this strange, off-key speech, everyone present mechanically turned their gaze toward the source of the sound, and their eyes lit up immediately.
The Shameless Cat swaggered ahead, followed by two young women who were in no way inferior to the Black Lotus Saintess and the Azure Luan Saintess. However, the cultivation aura of these two young women was rather low, only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm stage, the same as Yang Tieniu.
Wait, Yang Tieniu?
Qi Yunling's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the approaching Shameless Cat Shameless Cat, then at Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er behind him. She exclaimed and turned to Yang Zhen, asking, "You bastard, what's your name?"
Yang Zhen winked at Qi Yunling and said, "My Yang Tieniu, but everyone likes to call me Yang Zhen, which is something I can't help."
"What?" Qi Yunling was startled, pointing at Yang Zhen and speechless with surprise. "You... you... you're Yang Zhen?"
After saying that, Qi Yunling seemed to remember something and suddenly excitedly grabbed Yang Zhen's hand, saying, " Yang Zhen, you really are Yang Zhen, that's right! The Holy Maiden Hua and the Little Dao Addict are here, and the Shameless Cat is here too! You are Yang Zhen, you... you help Sister Azure Luan, okay?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and withdrew his hand, saying, "Helping depends on the timing. Look at the Azure Luan Saintess's current state, does she need my help?"
Qi Yunling was stunned and looked at the Azure Luan Saintess. The Azure Luan Saintess sat cross-legged in mid-air, radiating a faint holy light. Why would she need Yang Zhen's help?
A soft exclamation came from the crowd of the Black Lotus Holy Land. Hei Qiu, his voice filled with surprise, said, "So you are Yang Zhen. No wonder, no wonder you dared to be so presumptuous. I've changed my mind. You can live, but what you obtained from the Gate of Heavenly Void must be handed over to me."
"Pah, Sage of Saunter old bastard! You want my life? Fine, but you also want what's on Sage of Saunter? Come and take it if you dare!" Yang Zhen showed Hei Qiu no respect whatsoever.
To everyone's surprise, Hei Qiu wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "That's not up to you!"
With that, Hei Qiu stood up, glanced at the furious and bewildered Mei Xiang, and said, "I should go up now. You wait here. Do not move without my order."
Mei Xiang glanced at Yang Zhen and said in a deep voice, "Yes! Elder Hei!"
Elder Hei!
Hearing this nickname, Yang Zhen almost burst out laughing. He mimicked Hei Qiu's tone and said, "Alright, this Sage of Saunter should go up now. You Shameless Cat, wait here. Without my order, don't you dare show off, big or small, young or old."
The Shameless Cat replied respectfully, "Yes, Elder Yang!"
Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat chuckled and approached Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, presenting them like treasures. "Quickly, you two come with me. These lights are all good things; they can perfect your Dao hearts. I'll protect you first. This is a rare opportunity."
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er exchanged a glance, their faces full of smiles. However, Hua Youyue glanced at Hei Qiu, who had stumbled and almost collapsed to the ground, and asked, "That's a Half-Step Great Saint. Are you confident?"
Hei Qiu went up there, undoubtedly to help the Black Lotus Saintess perfect her Dao Heart. Given the Black Lotus Holy Land's style of doing things, it would obviously affect the Azure Luan Saintess. This is why, after the Azure Luan Saintess and the Black Lotus Saintess went up, no one else was willing to go up. Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er were naturally a little worried.
After all, he was only a Half-Step Great Saint. In such a fortuitous opportunity encounter, there were too many variables, and Yang Zhen's cultivation level was still somewhat low.
Yang Zhen glanced at the Hei Qiu, whose entire body exuded a sinister aura, his killing intent almost frozen. After a moment, he grinned and said, "Don't worry, it's perfectly fine to just have you two as bodyguards."
Han Yan'er shook her lips, glanced at Hua Youyue, and said, "Why don't you protect my sister first, and I'll protect both of you?"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, grabbed Han Yan'er's hand, and said, "I said it's okay, and that's final. If anyone dares to harm a single hair on either of your heads today, this ' Sage of Saunter ' will dig up their ancestral graves."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped.
As expected of someone who dares to call even Saint Realm experts "fellow villagers" and can come out of the Gate of Heavenly Void, he's incredibly arrogant!
Qi Yunling's eyes were practically sparkling, but when she saw Yang Zhen leading Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er upstairs, she pouted, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
The Black Lotus Saintess was protected by the terrifying Half-Step Great Saint Hei Qiu, while Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er were protected by Yang Zhen. Now, in mid-air, only the Azure Luan Saintess was all alone, looking rather pitiful.
Qi Yunling looked at Yang Zhen, who opened his mouth but couldn't speak. She sighed, then approached the middle-aged woman and said, "If the Hei Qiu affects Sister Azure Luan, I will fight to the death to protect her. But if I die, please do your best to protect the safety of my fellow disciples."
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if it costs us our lives, my Azure Luan Sect will not allow Saintess Qi to be in any danger."
Qi Yunling sighed, glanced at Yang Zhen who was still lazily hanging in mid-air, stamped her foot, and said, "That bastard, he's been lying to us for so long."
At this point, Qi Yunling suddenly leaped up and appeared before the Azure Luan Saintess, saying, "Sister Azure Luan, I've come to protect you!"
Azure Luan opened her eyes, glanced at Qi Yunling, and said nothing. Instead, she looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression.
"That bastard, it's Yang Zhen!" Qi Yunling said through gritted teeth, not forgetting to glare at Yang Zhen.
The Azure Luan Saintess trembled, muttering to herself, "No wonder the Nether Luan doesn't reject him!"
After speaking, the Azure Luan Saintess closed her eyes again, and a profound and mysterious Dao Rhyme emanated from her, instantly enveloping her in the Dao Severing Holy Light.
snort!
A soft hum rang out, and the Black Lotus Saintess, with a wicked smile on her face, also released her Dao Rhyme. However, her Dao Rhyme was much more domineering, directly colliding with the Azure Luan Saintess's Dao Rhyme.
"Thank you for protecting me, Elder Hei!"
The Black Lotus Saintess chuckled, gave the Azure Luan Saintess a deep look, then glanced at Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, a playful expression on her face, before slowly closing her eyes.
Hei Qiu also glanced at Yang Zhen, nodded, and closed his eyes, clearly preparing to go all out.
Yang Zhen, however, seemed indifferent, curiously sensing the aura emanating from the Dao Severing Holy Light. He said to Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, "Time is running out, you two should begin too."
The two women nodded in unison, and after sitting cross-legged, two streams of Dao Rhyme, one white and one green, slowly emanated from them. They were very gentle, yet profound and unfathomable.
Just as everyone watched the Hei Qiu with trepidation, wondering when Hei Qiu would strike, Yang Zhen suddenly let out a strange cry and sang in a bizarre tone, "I'm a tiger on the mountain, a dragon in the sea, but here comes this big black worm..."
puff!
Tens of thousands of people were outraged!
The Hei Qiu looked completely bewildered, then quickly realized what he meant, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, "Are you saying I'm a snake?"
"You're asking me? Who should I ask? Zhang San or Li Gui? Oh dear, oh dear..."
How could I possibly hold back?
How could I possibly hold back?
Hei Qiu's entire old face turned a deep liver color, while the others couldn't stop laughing. Even the Azure Luan Saintess was tightly pursing her lips, barely able to hold back her laughter!
