This sudden turn of events left Yang Zhen completely bewildered.
Damn it, you can't blame this Sage of Saunter, are all swords this flashy these days?
This Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter had just entered, hadn't even gotten his footing, and hadn't even clearly seen what this sword looked like when it suddenly shot into his hand?
That's really impressive!
Facing a group of people whose eyes were blazing with anger, Yang Zhen looked completely bewildered. He brandished the Star Spring Sword in his hand and solemnly declared again, "You really can't blame me."
Just as a group of people rushed towards Star Spring Sword, Star Spring Sword turned around and charged towards Yang Zhen. Everyone on the mountain came to an abrupt halt. Hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone was stunned.
Damn it, can't I blame you?
Are you suggesting we should be blamed?
Yang Zhen must have used some insidious and cunning means to get his hands on the Star Spring Sword.
This move is truly enviable; even the Sword Devil senior had an expression of disbelief on his face.
But what can we do about it?
The Star Spring Sword is the longsword that person once used. After being tempered by three hundred and sixty Heavenly Tribulation, this kind of longsword has long since become a treasure of heaven and earth.
Even if you obtain it through some unknown means, if you don't have time to refine it, then it's not yours!
Suddenly, someone let out a strange yell, spun around in mid-air, and charged towards Yang Zhen.
The moment this person moved, it was like throwing a stone into a lake full of carp; the entire mountainside erupted in a frenzy, and everyone rushed toward Yang Zhen.
Rumble!
The terrifying sound was like a stampede of ten thousand horses, like a rushing river; even though most cultivators were flying in the sky, the earth trembled violently.
Damn it, the overwhelming number of figures terrified Yang Zhen, who immediately turned and ran. He shoved the Star Spring Sword into his storage ring and shouted at the still-stunned Yan Zixu and the others, "Why aren't you running? Or are you going to get trampled to death?"
Yan Zixu and the others were as pale as blank sheets of paper. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a thing as soon as they entered the Great Wilderness Emperor Road?
Has this... provoked public outrage?
No one had time to think it through; they all took off running after Yang Zhen. Shi Feifei's face was as red as a ripe apple, and her giggles could be heard all over the mountains. No one knew how this woman did it.
Amidst the deafening roar of the noise, bursts of silvery laughter rang out, dazzling and mesmerizing, causing people to slow down considerably.
Yang Zhen turned around and gave Shi Feifei a thumbs up, then ran even more happily, not even caring about distinguishing directions.
They ran for an unknown amount of time when Shi Feifei suddenly exclaimed in surprise, startling everyone.
Yang Zhen turned to look at Shi Feifei and said irritably, "What are you yelling about? You scared me."
Shi Feifei stared at Yang Zhen with a frustrated expression and said, "Those people aren't looking for trouble, so why should we follow you?"
Yan Zixu and the others immediately showed strange expressions, and their speed noticeably slowed down.
Yang Zhen glared at him and said, "Am I still your team leader or not?"
"Yes!" Shi Feifei blinked.
Yang Zhen rolled her eyes at Shi Feifei and said, "Once a team leader, always a team leader. We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year. We share both good fortune and misfortune. We're all in the same boat. If you don't follow me, who will you follow?"
Shi Feifei and the others were stunned, their faces showing no way to refute her.
What do you mean by "same year, same month, same day"? It's as if they couldn't live without Yang Zhen.
"Even if you don't run with me, do you think those people will let you go?" Yang Zhen continued, "Won't they think, since you're with me, don't they also know this technique of disarming an enemy barehanded from a hundred feet away? Won't they arrest you and force me, the team leader, to show myself?"
Shi Feifei's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Disarming a blade with bare hands? You actually possess such Divine Ability?"
Listen to that! What an impressive name! To catch a blade barehanded from a hundred feet away, and it's an unclaimed blade at that. With such Divine Ability in hand, what divine weapon or weapon can't be subdued?
Not to mention Shi Feifei, even people like Yan Zixu and the Purple Star Holy Maiden looked at Yang Zhen with surprise.
A series of black lines flashed across Yang Zhen's face; the more he explained, the worse it got.
What do you mean by disarming an opponent with bare hands? If I, this Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter, could disarm an opponent with bare hands, then all the weapons in your hands would already be in my possession.
The cultivators behind them were getting closer and closer, while Yang Zhen and the others were running further and further away. At this point, there was no time to explain further. He waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about that later. For now, let's shake off these people. Damn it, this Sage of Saunter still doesn't understand what's going on!"
Just as everyone was about to continue their journey in silence, a strange voice came from above Yang Zhen's head. "Imperial artifacts possess spirits and choose their own masters. I never expected that this old man would have his eyes opened today."
"Who? Who's lurking around in the sky?" Yang Zhen was startled, his face full of surprise.
Yang Zhen didn't even notice at such a close distance.
The howling wind made it impossible to discern whose voice it was, but Yang Zhen had a general idea: the guy above him was probably that slovenly old man, the Sword Devil.
Sure enough, the Sword Devil Demon appeared in mid-air, moving like a sharp sword, keeping pace with Yang Zhen at the same speed. He looked at Yang Zhen with amazement and asked, "What is your relationship with that person?"
What kind of relationship?
Yang Zhen glanced at the Sword Devil and said, "Even if we're related, we're enemies. Damn it, the moment I, the Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter, entered the Great Wilderness Emperor Road, he used a broken sword to turn me into a rat that everyone wants to kill. Don't let me see him again. If I do, I'll make him taste the flavor of the Three Thousand Six Hundred Heavenly Tribulation."
The Sword Devil frowned, gave Yang Zhen a deep look, and said, "Boy, if you go any further, you'll be entering Land of One Severance."
What is that?
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then quickly stopped and shook his head, saying, "No, we absolutely cannot just rush into this Land of One Severance like this."
The Sword Devil glanced at Yang Zhen in surprise, then burst into laughter and said, "Kid, you're afraid of something too?"
Afraid?
Yang Zhen glanced back at the group of people who were still desperately chasing him across the mountains and plains, and scoffed, "This Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter is never afraid. Old man, you seem to have forgotten what I said when I came in: someone has tampered with this place. Who knows if there's any danger here?"
"So what do you want to do?" The Sword Devil looked at Yang Zhen with interest, then glanced at the people behind him.
With Land of One Severance ahead and tens of thousands of cultivators behind, Yang Zhen and his companions had virtually no choice but to either charge in or engage in a life-or-death battle with the thousands of cultivators behind them.
Seeing the gloating expression on the Sword Devil's face and the anxious and worried looks on Yan Zixu and the others behind him, Yang Zhen shook his head, sighed, and said, "You... you're still too young!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen glanced back at the approaching group of cultivators and quickly set up several array plates within a hundred feet of the house.
Yang Zhen has as many array plates as there is in one storage ring!
"Huh?" The Sword Devil looked at Yang Zhen with a surprised expression and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Behold the Divine Ability of this Sage of Saunter to deceive the heavens!"
Yang Zhen can get these people too excited when they play with them!
