Yang Zhen stared blankly at the expressions on everyone's faces, then looked at Elder Yan, and then at this young woman whose features revealed her to be exceptionally beautiful. He felt a little uncomfortable.
This is... I've offended someone again.
Can't we just talk normally?
Can't people just tell the truth anymore?
Can't we just have a calm and casual chat?
Yang Zhen felt that these people were overthinking things and being too sensitive; living like that would be exhausting.
That look in his eyes is absolutely murderous.
Yang Zhen looked at Nine Dragons with a bewildered expression. Nine Dragons laughed and shook his head, saying, "You caused this mess yourself, so you should deal with it. The Earth Treasury Art the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. Even I dare not discuss it casually. You really don't know your own limitations."
Hearing Nine Dragons's words, Yang Zhen glared and said, "Fellow villager, I disagree with that. What do you mean by 'ignoring the immensity of heaven and earth'? You've seen something, but you won't let people talk about it? How can you improve like that? Huh? That's called being complacent and isolating yourself, closing yourself off from the world. That's unacceptable!"
Nine Dragons was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "It's not as serious as you make it out to be."
Elder Yan frowned, then put on a smile and said, "Young friend, your character is somewhat similar to that of the Holy Lord. Moreover, what you said is quite true. Debating the Dao is something we cultivators do to make progress together. The Earth Treasury Technique is no different; only through joint verification can we improve. So, young friend Yang, please feel free to speak your mind."
That's good. Although these people from the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land are all eccentric, Elder Yan is still quite reasonable.
Only through mutual verification can we make progress together!
Yang Zhen grinned, pointed to a restriction in the main hall, and said, "This restriction should have been created by a Great Saint, and it originates from a line in the Heavenly Book: Profound Principles Chapter: 'Yuan Teng Jie Shuang.' The application is quite good, but if... well, I'm charging by word count for what follows. I wonder who I'll settle the bill with later?"
Everyone: "..."
It took Nine Dragons a while to react, then he laughed and scolded, "You brat, I asked you to explain the restrictions here, and you even charged me? Unbelievable... No wonder you're Yang Zhen, hahaha..."
Nine Dragons laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up. What kind of behavior was this, a dignified Great Saint?
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes at Nine Dragons. "Do you think this 'Sage of Saunter' just makes random moves...?"
The Heavenly Book: Profound Principles Chapter and the Heavenly Book: Earth Treasury Chapter, taken together, could easily elevate the level of the restrictions here with just a few words. How many years has it been since the restrictions here have been upgraded?
This value is beyond what crystals can measure. This Sage of Saunter only wanted to collect a little crystal as a token; I couldn't ask for it for free. Is that too much to ask?
Elder Yan and Elder Zheng both turned black, staring at Yang Zhen for a long time without saying a word.
Upon seeing Elder Yan's expression, the others immediately fell silent, clearly terrified. He was furious.
Just then, a middle-aged woman rushed over and respectfully said to Elder Yan, " Elder Yan, the Holy Lord requests that you and the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable go to Heavenly Yang Peak for a discussion."
Elder Yan was taken aback, his expression softened, and he frowned before asking, "Is it just me and the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable?"
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Yes!"
Elder Yan nodded, glanced at Yang Zhen, snorted coldly, and then turned to Fuyao, saying, " Fuyao, during this time, you will show Young Master Yang around the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land."
Fuyao was taken aback, gave Yang Zhen a strange look, and nodded in agreement.
"What?" Yang Zhen asked, looking completely bewildered. "Aren't you going to tell me?"
Damn it, I was Sage of Saunter about to show off a bit and earn some points for my fellow Nine Dragons folks, and you guys just dumped me like that?
Nine Dragons chuckled, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, kid, the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord seems to have encountered some problems. During this time, you should enjoy your time in the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land and avoid causing trouble."
Yang Zhen didn't care; with a beautiful woman by his side, he was quite content.
Over the next period of time, Fuyao indeed helped Yang Zhen become familiar with the entire Heavenly Mountain Holy Land, and Yang Zhen truly experienced the power of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land.
If the Three Flowers Holy Land possesses such powerful array formations and restrictions, how could it not flourish and grow stronger?
Let alone offending the Great Saint Fengli, even offending the Emperor Venerable would draw countless disciples to the Night Palace.
For some reason, the expressions of many disciples from the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land towards him became increasingly strange, and even Fuyao's gaze towards him became odd.
On this day, the two agreed to go to Heavenly Yang Peak to view the sacred stele. Along the way, they were surrounded by disciples pointing and commenting on Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen wanted to hear what these bastards were saying, but was speechless to find that these scoundrels were actually using telepathy.
Damn it!
They definitely weren't saying anything good; gossiping behind people's backs will get you a sty.
Yang Zhen gave the middle finger to the group of people.
"See that? That's Yang Zhen. He's supposed to be giving Elder Yan some pointers on the restriction technique."
"That's truly laughable. He thinks he can instruct Elder Yan just by glancing at the restrictions inside the temple? Wouldn't that mean he can instruct all of us?"
"Just wait and see. This arrogant fellow will surely learn his lesson. When he does, I'll see what kind of expression he has on his face."
"But what has this kid done to deserve having Senior Sister Fuyao spend three days with him?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Du Kang and Ma Huicao have been plotting together these past two days. They're definitely trying to teach Yang Zhen a lesson."
Two disciples from the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land were discussing something via telepathy when one of them suddenly brightened up and pointed behind the other disciple, saying, "Look, Senior Brother Ma Huicao and Senior Brother Du Kang are here!"
"Haha, that's true, it seems the two of them have come up with a solution."
Finally, someone was going to teach Yang Zhen a lesson and vent his anger. The two disciples were so excited that they danced around, eager to notify all the disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land to come and see Yang Zhen's pathetic state.
Yang Zhen currently appears to be only at the Half-Step Great Saint level, while his two senior brothers are at the Saint Realm level. From any perspective, it would be extremely easy for them to teach Yang Zhen a lesson.
Seeing Ma Huicao and Du Kang approaching, Fuyao's expression turned strange as she said to Yang Zhen, "Young Master Yang, it's getting late. Let's stop here for today."
"Is it getting late?" Yang Zhen looked at the huge sun overhead, completely bewildered.
Fuyao chuckled and said, " Fuyao has some things to do, so I won't keep you company today. Young Master Yang may also return to cultivate."
Yang Zhen glanced at Du Kang and Ma Huicao, who were striding towards him, and immediately knew what was going on.
Although Fuyao appears approachable, she subtly gives off a sense of unapproachability. However, she is not a bad person at heart. She clearly knew that the two had come with ill intentions and was afraid that Yang Zhen would be harmed, which is why she ended the trip early.
Yang Zhen looked around and saw that a lot of disciples had gathered to watch the spectacle, their faces full of schadenfreude.
Looking at Fuyao again, her face showed worry, and she seemed hesitant to speak.
Yang Zhen burst into laughter, but before he could speak, an even louder laugh rang out.
"Haha, so Brother Yang is here! We've been looking for you everywhere!"
Seeing the radiant smiles on Ma Huicao and Du Kang's faces, as if they were seeing long-lost best friends, everyone's jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
Even Fuyao stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
Where's the promised lesson...?
