After the group arrived at the location of the Sword Spirit, Yang Zhen suddenly felt a little regretful.
The entire mountainside was filled with sharp Sword Qi, as if someone Wan Jian Return to the Sect origin on the mountaintop. Is this even a place for a human to live?
This is absolutely terrifying!
Deep in the mountains and forests, lush and verdant, there were patches of miasma everywhere, making the place slippery and difficult to traverse. Yang Zhen suspected that a mudslide might occur at any moment in this place!
Although the environment wasn't great, there were quite a few people. Along the way, cultivators of all kinds, divided into camps based on their cultivation level, surrounded the mountaintop in layers, making it impossible to pass through.
The closer Yang Zhen got to the mountaintop, the more he could feel the sharp aura. Although no one knew where the Sword Spirit Sword Spirit was, everyone could sense that it was still somewhere on the mountain.
In mid-air, many Half-Step Great Saint barely managed to stay afloat, while only some Saint Realm experts and Great Saint continued to approach the summit.
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Land camp had even built quite a few houses in the area closest to the mountain peak, which made Yang Zhen feel much more at ease.
Judging from the looks of it, we'll be staying here for quite a few days. Having a place to stay is much better than sleeping in the middle of nowhere.
Yang Zhen didn't mind sleeping on the ground with the sky as his blanket, but was the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord, this seemingly beautiful young lady, willing to sleep on the ground with Yang Zhen?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen looked at the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord and chuckled strangely.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord and his entourage, many people were shocked, and the news quickly spread.
"Even the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord has come. It seems that Luo Shan Yang's arrival has brought considerable pressure to the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land."
"That's not how it works. Although Luo Shan Yang is known as Sword Addict, he still hasn't found the Sword Spirit. Besides, even if he did find Sword Spirit, who can say for sure whether Luo Shan Yang would gain its Sword Spirit?"
"Have you noticed? The people from the Yaoguang Holy Land have also been making frequent moves; it seems they're trying to come up with a solution."
" The Yaoguang Holy Land? It's said that the Yaoguang Holy Son is diligently practicing Swordsmanship. I wonder if he can overpower Luo Shan Yang."
"How is that possible? Among the younger generation present, who could possibly surpass Luo Shan Yang in Swordsmanship?"
Amidst the surrounding chatter, Yang Zhen listened with great interest, walking forward while searching for Luo Shan Yang's figure.
It's a pity that Luo Shan Yang wasn't here. This guy who dared to say that all his contemporaries were ants was truly arrogant and overbearing.
Damn it, Yang Zhen was a little annoyed. Even this Sage of Saunter had never said such a boastful thing. When he met Luo Shan Yang, he would definitely see if he had three heads and six arms or an extra eye.
Seeing the expression on Yang Zhen's face, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable smiled wryly and said, "There are many powerful people here, some of whom even I dare not easily provoke. You must keep a low profile and prioritize the Sword Spirit."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, when it comes to keeping a low profile, this ' Sage of Saunter' has never backed down."
Fuyao and Li Qingfeng, who were in front, stumbled and almost fell into the muddy swamp beside them.
Fuyao gave Yang Zhen a strange look. Low-key?
If Yang Zhen is considered low-key, then they are really lacking in presence.
Li Qingfeng's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, but what could he do? This time, his search for the Sword Spirit was entirely Yang Zhen's responsibility.
There's an unwritten rule among the older generation of powerful figures: unless under special circumstances, they won't try to subdue Sword Spirit, even if it appears. Throughout history, whenever Sword Spirit appears, no older generation of powerful figures has ever successfully subdued it.
They are all young geniuses, and the best in Sword Dao, which is why they were able to gain the Sword Spirit's approval.
Sword Spirit recognizes only one master in its lifetime. Once the master dies, the Sword Spirit will destroy the sword and die with him. Therefore, Sword Spirit always appear alone and are never accompanied by any peerless sword!
Along the way, Yang Zhen had already analyzed the Sword Spirit's nature to a great extent, and the various legends from ancient times to the present had been discussed by everyone countless times.
However... Yang Zhen still wasn't sure!
Whether or not he can subdue the Sword Spirit is one thing. Yang Zhen came here to prevent the Sword Spirit from falling into the hands of the Sword Addict Luo Shan Yang. Once he completes this task, Yang Zhen's mission will be accomplished.
As for who will ultimately acquire Sword Spirit, who can say for sure?
Perhaps while Yang Zhen was causing trouble, the Sword Spirit got angry and vanished into the void with a whoosh. Apart from a true powerhouse with the Power of the Void, who could catch up with it?
Yang Zhen has never heard of anyone being able to control the Power of the Void.
So if Sword Spirit flies away, then it really flies away.
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, a thunderous laugh rang out, startling Yang Zhen, who was daydreaming. He quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
"Who's here? It's Ziyuan herself. What, is your Heavenly Mountain Holy Land so determined to get the Sword Spirit this time?"
Ziyuan Girl?
Upon hearing this title, Yang Zhen almost didn't connect it with the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord.
Who is this person who dares to address the dignified Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord in such a way?
An old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared before the crowd. He looked like a mischievous old man, with a ruddy complexion, wide-open eyes that resembled the bubbly eyes of a horned frog, and a bright red, garlic-shaped nose that looked unusually comical.
The old man's appearance did not bring any laughter to anyone; his terrifying aura was like that of stars, captivating anyone who looked into him.
Apart from Yang Zhen, Nine Dragons, and the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord, everyone subconsciously looked away.
"Huh?" The old man let out a soft exclamation, then circled Yang Zhen twice after landing, laughing heartily, and said, "Not bad, little fellow. Maybe he can even compete with that kid Luo Shan Yang. Where did you find such an interesting lad, Ziyuan?"
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord smiled and said, "He is a disciple sought out by the Nine Dragons, but not a direct disciple!"
As he spoke, the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord turned to Yang Zhen and said, "This senior is Zhou Tong, the Supreme Elder of the Central Court Heavenly Severance Sect. He is a powerful being with the Saint Realm Ninth Heaven Perfection and has a very high chance of breaking through to that level."
Zhou Tong?
Tsk tsk, that's such a playful old man's name.
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Greetings, Senior Zhou Tong."
Without a doubt, someone like Zhou Tong must have come here for the Sword Devil; otherwise, given his status, who could possibly persuade him to come?
The Heavenly Severance Sect, even if it doesn't surpass the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land by a large margin, is probably still a force that the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land can't compare to.
Zhou Tong curled his lip and said, "Mediocrity, nothing fun. Just like that kid Nine Dragons, he won't even fart after three kicks."
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Nine Dragons could only smile wryly. This was one of the people he dared not easily provoke.
The people around were taken aback when they heard Zhou Tong's words, and looked at Yang Zhen with strange expressions.
Yang Zhen is just average?
If he were always law-abiding, then there would be no one out of line in the world. I wonder what kind of expression Zhou Tong would have after learning about Yang Zhen's personality.
The problem is, nobody dares to speak up now.
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord smiled and said, "Senior... you two might have a lot in common."
