Yang Zhen didn't know what Devil Emperor was, but he had an Emperor Realm expert right here with him.
However, regardless of what the Devil Emperor represents to Daoist and Devil Cultivator, the inheritance should not be easily granted to those Devil Cultivator.
Seeing the solemn expression on Rong Hexuan's face, Yang Zhen knew that the matter was settled, and it wouldn't be long before the news of the Devil Emperor's inheritance in Slug Bank Mountain spread like wildfire, and what followed might be an epic battle.
Devil Venerable Shuya and Venerable Lord Chen Xiaotian have already gone to Slug Bank Mountain, or rather, the Devil Cultivator have already taken over Slug Bank Mountain for themselves, probably to avoid the Daoist cultivators coveting it if the information is leaked.
However, there are no secrets in this world. Not to mention that Yang Zhen received ambiguous information from Brother Big Bird, Rong Hexuan and the others had already become suspicious of Slug Bank Mountain after seeing the actions of Shuya and Chen Xiaotian.
After exchanging glances, Rong Hexuan and the others asked Yang Zhen in a deep voice, "What are your plans, young friend Yang?"
Yang Zhen said in a serious tone, "I have no plans!"
Rong Hexuan paused, and the others also showed surprised expressions, looking at Yang Zhen with puzzled looks.
The message was leaked by Yang Zhen; in the end, did he have no plans of his own?
Who would believe that if I told them?
However, considering Yang Zhen's character, the people present were not so surprised.
Yang Zhen has always been like this; his style of doing things is unpredictable, and no one can guess what he is really thinking.
Rong Hexuan, however, still had some lingering hope, saying, "I know that the Three Flowers Holy Land is in dire need of rebuilding, and at this time, it won't unite with various forces to fight against the Devil Cultivator. But young friend Yang, have you considered that once the Central Court is completely devoured by the Devil Cultivator cultivators, when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?"
Yang Zhen let out a "oh!" and looked at Rong Hexuan with a strange expression. Now he finally understood why Rong Hexuan had been able to lead the Seven Luminaries Sect to a leading position for so many years.
This guy is a ruthless tyrant. Although he's a bit timid, his gradual persuasion methods are more rigorous and persuasive than those of others in the Great Wilderness.
First, they directly sought an alliance to jointly resist the Devil Cultivator. After hearing the news, they then opted for a less desirable option: to target Slug Bank Mountain.
Yang Zhen gave Rong Hexuan a meaningful look, thinking to himself that this old guy probably didn't come here with the intention of seeking an alliance. He probably had another purpose in coming here, perhaps he was just thinking about how to ensure that the Seven Luminaries Sect would not be easily swallowed up by the Devil Cultivator.
This is quite possible, after all, when Yang Zhen entered and left the Devil Cultivator camp seven times, this old guy was standing below the Seven Luminaries Sect, looking up at him.
Companion Heavenly Fire, Heavenly Book: Earth Treasury Chapter!
This is what the old man really wants.
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "Sect Master Rong, there's no need to beat around the bush. We're all the same kind of people, so tacit understanding is best. Let me put it this way: the Three Flowers Holy Land isn't afraid of any Devil Cultivator, and we have no interest in the Devil Emperor's legacy. Focusing on development is the most important thing."
Rong Hexuan and the others were taken aback upon hearing this, and they all gasped in unison, asking, "So, the Three Flowers Holy Land really does have an Emperor Realm expert?"
Whether the news was true or not, it had already spread like wildfire. Considering that there was no demonic energy in this place, Rong Hexuan and the others had no choice but to believe it.
Yang Zhen remained noncommittal, grinned, and said, "Besides, we are outnumbered and outmatched. Even if we are interested in the Devil Emperor's inheritance, we are no match for Shuya and Chen Xiaotian. If I'm not mistaken, except for a very few places that still need demonic energy, most of the fallen areas of the Central Court no longer need powerful Devil Cultivator cultivators. So... Slug Bank Mountain is a dangerous place."
When it comes to negotiations, listing out the difficulties first and scaring people a little is the most basic and practical method.
As expected, Rong Hexuan's face turned serious as he stared at Yang Zhen and asked, "Young friend Yang, why don't you state your conditions?"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Sect Leader Rong is indeed straightforward. I need a batch of amethyst crystals, lots and lots of amethyst crystals."
Rong Hexuan laughed heartily and said, "As if I had some conditions, I can satisfy them all, as many as you want."
Indeed, this is not Rong Hexuan exaggerating. With the current strength of the Seven Luminaries Sect, supporting a force like the Seven Luminaries Sect or the Three Flowers Holy Land is not a problem at all. Moreover, at the level of a sect like the Seven Luminaries Sect, the disciples no longer have a great need for amethyst for cultivation.
The Seven Luminaries Sect doesn't need amethyst, but the Shangyuan Sect does, and Yang Zhen is open to both.
Seeing Yang Zhen grin, the Seven Luminaries Sect members all showed a little unease. Perhaps they didn't mean to look down on him, but Yang Zhen Yang Zhen's simple conditions did diminish the mystery surrounding him in their eyes.
Little did these people know that Yang Zhen wanted the amethyst not entirely for the disciples of the Three Flowers Holy Land to cultivate. There were some formations in the Heavenly Book: Profound Principles Chapter that could be used in conjunction with the Emperor Stele to refine the world. If successful, the Three Flowers Holy Land would soon be able to completely surpass any power in the Central Court.
Of course, the consumption of amethyst is also extremely large, which is why Yang Zhen asked for amethyst right away.
Upon hearing that he would give her as much as she wanted, Yang Zhen grinned from ear to ear.
Clearly, Rong Hexuan and the others were unaware of Yang Zhen's ambitions; their boast was rather extravagant.
Yang Zhen had everything else he needed, including a considerable amount of amethyst—who would complain about having too much of that?
After quickly reaching an agreement, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Then let's discuss it properly, and Sect Leader Rong can send some people to Slug Bank Mountain to inquire about the situation."
Upon hearing this, a thin, elderly man beside Rong Hexuan said, "Sect Master, please leave this matter to me."
The thin old man exuded a faint aura that even Yang Zhen would have had difficulty detecting if he hadn't been so close. He couldn't help but take a second look.
These sects with profound historical foundations truly produce a wealth of talented individuals.
If this old man wanted to gather information, even the legendary Venerable Lord Chen Xiaotian, aside from the Devil Emperor, would have a hard time detecting it.
Rong Hexuan laughed heartily and said, "With Elder Shu going to gather information, I can rest assured. However, we still need to be careful, especially with Chen Xiaotian. Once we encounter him, no matter what happens, survival is the top priority."
Elder Shu's face revealed a confident expression as he smiled and said, "Sect Master, rest assured, I'll be right back."
As he spoke, Elder Shu vanished from the spot, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing the surprised expression on Yang Zhen's face, Rong Hexuan chuckled and said, "Elder Shu's cultivation Cultivation Method is somewhat special. Even when he is right next to me, I cannot sense his presence. So, young friend Yang, you can rest assured about gathering information."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "There's one more thing that needs to be arranged by Sect Leader Rong."
"What is it?"
Rong Hexuan asked with a curious expression.
Yang Zhen blinked and said, "How could such a big thing be known only to the few of us?"
The meaning was clear, and Rong Hexuan understood immediately. He laughed heartily and said, "Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that by tomorrow, the whole Great Wilderness will be buzzing with the news."
Digging up grass? That's amazing!
Yang Zhen was somewhat surprised by the power behind Rong Hexuan.
As expected of a sect from the Great Wilderness era, their network of connections is Niu Bi.
At that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly heard a faint voice calling in his ear. He was startled and his mind raced.
What would the Empress call him for at a time like this?
