Yang Zhen always wore an innocent smile.
Are you saying I came here to cause trouble?
I'm sorry, I'm not the kind of person who stirs up trouble. I didn't come here to target you, Hei Qiu. I just wanted to protect Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er.
As for your Hei Qiu?
Yang Zhen had no interest in, nor did he want to, do anything targeted. As for the Black Lotus Saintess, such a beautiful and almost demonic young lady, Yang Zhen had even less intention of targeting her.
Yang Zhen only wanted to help Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er improve their Dao hearts, and incidentally target the Black Lotus Holy Land.
That's right, it's not aimed at Hei Qiu, nor at the Black Lotus Saintess, nor at Mei Xiang, but at your entire Black Lotus Holy Land.
Seeing the incredulous expression on Hei Qiu's face—an expression of horror, greed, envy, jealousy, and hatred— Yang Zhen found it somewhat illogical.
"Sit down, basic procedures, don't be silly!"
Yang Zhen waved his hand and blew on the coals with a "poof," and the flames finally ignited. Overjoyed, Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, "See? It's lit!"
Everyone's eyes twitched. Was this Yang Zhen a devil? How could he even think about making barbecue when things like this were going on?
Although no one knew what barbecue was, they wondered why the meat wasn't boiled but grilled instead, and whether grilled meat was even edible.
While the group was still bewildered, Yang Zhen suddenly produced a piece of fresh frozen meat that exuded a rich aura of True Essence. After quickly washing it, he skewered it and placed it on the grill, where it began to slowly rotate.
The Shameless Cat, watching from the sidelines, jumped around excitedly. Seeing this, it hurriedly said to Yang Zhen, "Kid, don't forget me when you're done grilling! I'm getting tired of cheering you on here."
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat and said, "Don't worry, everyone gets a share!"
roar--!
Shameless Cat was about to speak, a deafening roar erupted, startling the Shameless Cat so much that it fell to the ground, staring dumbfounded at the Hei Qiu that had transformed into a black mudfish, its face filled with disdain.
"Old man, even if you turn into a black mudfish, don't expect to gain any advantage in Kid Yang's Qiongqi Heavenly Void. You're just a mere Horned Dragon bloodline; you're nothing but a grandson in front of Qiongqi Heavenly Void."
Upon hearing the Shameless Cat's words, everyone present couldn't help but nod subconsciously.
What sins did Senior Hei Qiu commit to make Yang Zhen so restrained?
However, what Yang Zhen conjured was the Qiongqi Heavenly Void; what object couldn't restrain that thing?
Hei Qiu clearly understood this principle. After roaring, a terrifying wave of blood suddenly erupted from its body. It stared intently at Yang Zhen and said, "Boy, even if you can suppress my phantom, you are only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer. Although your realm is high, without sufficient follow-up power, how many of my Horned Dragon can you shatter?"
With that, Hei Qiu snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hands, two Horned Dragon roared and appeared, covering the sky and the sun, seemingly enveloping the entire Enlightenment Pavilion Mountain.
The Horned Dragon that blotted out the sky was already raging and terrifying, making everyone's hearts pound. Now, the Horned Dragon had actually condensed into two more Horned Dragon that were even more terrifying and enormous than the previous one. Under such circumstances, even Yang Zhen's Qiongqi Heavenly Void would probably find it difficult to withstand.
Even a newborn dragon cannot defeat a ferocious bird at its peak.
Roar! Roar!
Two roars echoed from the heavens, and the raging True Essence in mid-air seemed to be stirred up by the two Horned Dragon, causing the waters to churn and the seas to turn.
The Black Lotus Saint had a look of pain on her face, and the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was aroused by the two horned dragons, which made her feel a little uncomfortable while perfecting her Daoist heart.
Even the Black Lotus Saintess was like this, let alone the Azure Luan Saintess. As soon as the two Horned Dragon appeared, the Azure Luan Saintess's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth, opened her eyes, and took a deep look at Yang Zhen before closing her eyes again. The Dao Resonance on her body became even more profound and distant, like an ancient aura, which amazed everyone.
No one had expected that the Dao Intent of the Azure Luan Saintess would be so solid.
Even Yang Zhen glanced at the Azure Luan Saintess in surprise. As expected of the Azure Luan Sect's Saintess, the solidity of her Dao Intent far surpassed that of Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, and was even much stronger than the Black Lotus Saintess.
No wonder the Azure Luan Sect dared to send the Azure Luan Saintess alone. Her cultivation and realm were comparable to any Half-Step Great Saint. However, even the Azure Luan Saintess probably did not expect that the Black Lotus Holy Land would be led by Hei Qiu this time.
The Hei Qiu's strength was indeed formidable; even Yang Zhen felt a strain when facing two such terrifying Horned Dragon.
If they were outside Enlightenment Pavilion Mountain, not inside the Dao Severing Holy Light, Yang Zhen wouldn't be afraid of these two giant mudskippers. However, inside the Dao Severing Holy Light, Yang Zhen's strength was indeed greatly restricted, and this restriction was much greater than that faced by Hei Qiu, a true Half-Step Great Saint.
As the two terrifying, roaring dragons charged toward Yang Zhen, even the Qiongqi Heavenly Void that Yang Zhen had conjured felt like it was about to collapse.
When the two Horned Dragon were exhausted, the Qiongqi Heavenly Void behind Yang Zhen also disappeared.
The people of the Black Lotus Holy Land cheered, while the surrounding crowd gasped.
A hint of regret flashed across Qingguan's face as he said, " Yang Zhen truly lives up to his reputation as someone who has interacted with the Saint Realm experts. Such potential is enough to make any Holy Land take him seriously."
True Person Shengquan nodded in agreement, looking at Yang Zhen with admiration and saying, "He's a very interesting little fellow. Should we lend him a hand?"
Qingguan smiled and said, "I can help, but I'm afraid the Black Lotus Holy Land dares to come to Enlightenment Pavilion Mountain. Their trump cards aren't just Hei Qiu. Have you noticed that palace in the Black Lotus Holy Land?"
True Person Shengquan nodded and said, "That's that person's palace. You mean, that person might have come?"
Heavenly Joy Holy Land is the leading power in the Central Court, so it naturally knows the true extent of Black Lotus Holy Land's strength.
Although Yang Zhen's displayed strength was highly praised by the two, it was nothing more than a grain of light in the face of the Black Lotus Holy Land.
Once the Black Lotus Holy Land gets serious, Yang Zhen, along with the two women beside him and the cat, will probably not be able to escape.
As long as it's inside the palace, it's that person resting!
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen with suspicion and disbelief. As the Hei Qiu revealed a cold smile, he rubbed his hands together, and two more terrifying Horned Dragon descended from the sky. Before the Qiongqi Heavenly Void could re-form behind Yang Zhen, everyone gasped in surprise.
Who would have thought that the mighty Hei Qiu would try to wear down Yang Zhen's strength in this way? The next moment, everyone realized what was going on.
This method not only weakens Yang Zhen, but also affects the Azure Luan Saintess and the two women, Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue. Although it also has some impact on the Black Lotus Saintess, everyone can see that this impact is harmless.
That's truly a brilliant tactic that kills three birds with one stone.
In an instant, everyone's expressions turned horrified as they looked at the Hei Qiu.
The mighty Hei Qiu, a renowned Half-Step Great Saint, actually came up with such a treacherous plan when facing Yang Zhen, a Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivator who wanted to protect his woman. It's truly... enough to leave one speechless.
Who can blame them when they're Half-Step Great Saint from the Black Lotus Holy Land, while Yang Zhen has absolutely no backing?
As the two Horned Dragon roared and charged toward Yang Zhen, everyone wore expressions of pity. They watched in horror as the Azure Luan Saintess looked pale and distressed, as if she had suffered a great shock.
Just then, Mei Xiang suddenly burst into laughter, leaped up, and rushed towards the Dao Severing Holy Light Realm, shouting loudly, " Elder Hei, I'm here to help you!"
What?
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone around turned extremely horrified.
Even the Azure Luan Saintess opened her eyes, her face filled with anger.
This is utterly shameless, but this kind of shamelessness is exactly the style of the Black Lotus Holy Land.
Just as everyone was anxiously shouting for Yang Zhen and the Azure Luan Saintess, Yang Zhen suddenly pulled out some bottles and jars from his robes. Looking at Mei Xiang rushing towards him, he said to everyone from the Black Lotus Holy Land, "Come on, all of you, don't waste time."
