None of the people present had ever heard of the Land of Principle's Descent, let alone know what dangers such a place might pose.
But just from the name, you can tell it's not a good place.
There is the Demonic Sect, and there is also the Heavenly Secret Lock. Even the Holy Maiden Tianxuan chose to cultivate the origin of the Yin and Yang Heaven and Earth True Runes in this place. Now that the Demonic Sect's blood-red demonic energy has erupted, although Han Yan'er does not know how to temporarily shroud Yang Zhen and Que Ling, this is not a long-term solution.
Hearing that Yang Zhen had arranged for Han Yan'er and Que Ling to protect him, and that he had repeatedly said he would kill everyone present, coupled with Yang Zhen's swift and decisive killing of Young Master Gong and Duan Deming, how could anyone not be afraid?
Almost as soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, everyone except Elder Huang took several steps back, staring at Yang Zhen in horror.
The crowd quickly realized that Yang Zhen was preoccupied with his own problems and had no time or energy to kill so many people.
The fact that everyone present didn't try to kill him was already incredibly kind of them.
But... damn it.
Yang Zhen is truly shameless. Even though he can't even protect himself, he still spouts wild words, startling everyone present.
"This brat, does he really intend to kill us?"
"Even if Yang Zhen possesses extraordinary abilities, he cannot kill so many fellow Daoists present. This fellow Daoist is overthinking it."
"But what if Yang Zhen detonates the Demonic Sect, or the Heavenly Secret Lock?"
Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up, their gazes towards Yang Zhen filled with wariness and complexity.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and even Que Ling was startled by Yang Zhen's absurd words.
"How could you say such a thing? Don't you know that your words have offended almost everyone here? What if someone tries to incite others later? You'll be doomed!"
Seeing the exasperated look on Que Ling's face, Yang Zhen curled his lip, gestured for Que Ling to look at Han Yan'er, and said, "Look at you, even Little Dao Addict wouldn't ask such a question."
Que Ling paused, looking at Han Yan'er. Sure enough, she saw Han Yan'er with a calm expression, as if she wasn't worried at all that these people would work together to kill Yang Zhen.
"Aren't you... worried?"
Que Ling asked with a curious expression.
Han Yan'er nodded and said, "I'm worried, but Yang Zhen must have his reasons for doing this!"
"A reason?" Que Ling's face was full of absurdity as she turned to Yang Zhen and asked, "What reason could you possibly have?"
"He wanted to lure out those with ulterior motives and kill them ahead of time," Han Yan'er said calmly.
Upon hearing Han Yan'er's words, Que Ling was taken aback, staring at Yang Zhen in horror, finally understanding. "What you said about danger was actually a lie?"
That's terrifying. If that's really the case, then it's absolutely horrifying.
Que Ling stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief, her face full of strange expressions. She seemed to be thinking three steps ahead, and Yang Zhen had unknowingly captured everyone's attention.
Is anyone really that terrifying?
Que Ling didn't know that Yang Zhen's thoughts were only at the level of an ordinary person on the Blue Planet.
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Danger is certainly present, but... who says you can't kill someone just because there's danger?"
When Que Ling saw Yang Zhen blinking, her heart skipped a beat.
If there is danger, then provoking those with ulterior motives beforehand means that the danger is real, that Yang Zhen really intends to kill, and... after killing, the danger Yang Zhen faces will likely be even more terrifying.
What kind of person is he?
What kind of place is the Land of Principle's Descent?
Que Ling's heart was in turmoil as she looked at the familiar Yang Zhen, who gradually became a stranger.
For some reason, Que Ling sensed a chilling aura emanating from Yang Zhen at that moment.
Que Ling looked blankly at everyone present. Sure enough, she saw that there were quite a few people with complicated and sinister expressions, which deepened her fear.
This is the Cultivation World of cultivation, this is the Great Wilderness life and death are intertwined!
Que Ling took a deep breath and looked at Yang Zhen, saying, "Zhen... are you going to kill them?"
Yang Zhen suddenly grinned and said, "I'm the most low-key person. I never go looking for trouble unless someone bothers me."
Que Ling breathed a sigh of relief, glared at him irritably, and said, "That's good. Don't worry, I'll definitely guard one of the array's key points for you."
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Thanks!"
Han Yan'er looked at Que Ling with a strange expression.
Clearly, Que Ling did not understand Yang Zhen.
It's true that Yang Zhen never causes trouble, but what Yang Zhen excels at is subtly exposing the ugly side of human nature.
To paraphrase Yang Zhen, the pit is there; whether others fall into it or not is their business, and has nothing to do with this Sage of Saunter.
Seeing Que Ling's statement, Han Yan'er took a deep breath, went to Yang Zhen's side, and said, "Be careful."
Yang Zhen grinned, his smile as bright and cheerful as a friendly older brother next door. He leaned half his face close to Han Yan'er's and said, "I don't think I have much confidence. I might really die here, after all, this Land of Principle's Descent."
Han Yan'er glared and was about to draw her sword when Yang Zhen suddenly moved with lightning speed, lightly touching Han Yan'er's face and releasing her attack instantly!
"You!"
Han Yan'er glared at her.
"Dig up! I'm full of confidence! I feel like my inner universe is burning! What's going on?" Yang Zhen exclaimed, looking left and right, but refusing to look at Han Yan'er.
Han Yan'er glared at Yang Zhen several times, but couldn't do anything about it.
Que Ling, standing to the side, stared in disbelief, her beautiful face slightly flushed.
Yang Zhen winked at Que Ling and asked, "Miss, would you like to come for a bit?"
Que Ling exclaimed in surprise and quickly took two steps back.
Yang Zhen laughed loudly, leaped up, and instantly entered the sky filled with blood-red demonic energy.
"Digging grass, it hurts, it hurts..."
A hysterical scream rang out, sending a shiver down everyone's spine. They looked at each other, completely bewildered.
The sound was absolutely horrific, like someone had been sliced into a thousand pieces and then pelted with a whole bag of salt.
Not to mention the others, even Han Yan'er turned pale upon hearing that voice and subconsciously took a step towards Yang Zhen.
Que Ling's face was pale, and she said with some worry, "He... he'll be alright, won't he?"
Han Yan'er shook her head and tightened her grip on the Sun Shadow Saint Weapon.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, I'm going to die..."
Yang Zhen's voice was distorted, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.
When Yang Zhen reappeared before everyone, they were all startled.
Yang Zhen had lost weight, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off, his body was covered in blood and gore, and even his aura had become extremely weak.
"This... this is real?"
"My God, what exactly happened to Yang Zhen? Why did she become like this?"
"Hmph, this is demonic energy, blood-red demonic energy. If Yang Zhen is unharmed, then there's a problem."
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their expressions becoming extremely complex.
Among the crowd, the Elder Huang's gaze was gloomy and uncertain as he looked at the people around him and exchanged glances.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the Heavenly Secret Lock suddenly exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing a tremendous shockwave.
In an instant Principle surged wildly, and the sky and earth darkened.
The ice coffin in mid-air suddenly shattered into pieces with a snap, and a stunningly beautiful woman was ejected from it.
