The green worm in Yang Zhen's hand looked ordinary, but everyone present gasped and their faces showed horror when they saw it.
Jin Chanzi's halo shattered into dust, and he stared at... Luo Jin in disbelief!
Indeed, Jin Chanzi didn't look at Yang Zhen, but instead focused his gaze on Luo Jin, because Luo Jin's expression was even more interesting.
It's like having a wife who's been formally married and is sitting beautifully on the bed waiting to consummate the marriage, only to find out, upon lifting the veil, that she's actually a burly man with unkempt feet.
Yang Zhen was amazed by Luo Jin's utterly shocked and bewildered expression. It was rather unofficial that the Oscar didn't give Luo Jin an award.
"No, impossible, this is impossible..." Luo Jin staggered back three steps, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief, his face filled with panic.
Just then, a deafening muffled sound rang out, and a bolt of purple lightning struck Luo Jin Luo Jin from the sky, scorching him to a crisp. His face was covered in a gray-black color, and even his newly advanced cultivation level plummeted.
This sudden turn of events left everyone bewildered, and all eyes turned to the green worm in Yang Zhen's hand.
Oh dear, what exactly is this green worm? It could cause Luo Jin and Jin Chanzi to panic like this upon seeing it. Jin Chanzi is a little better off, only losing his cultivation, but Luo Jin is in a worse state, even losing his newly acquired cultivation level.
What deep-seated grudge could Yang Zhen possibly have to concoct something like this to scare people?
Many people looked at Yang Zhen with resentment.
Killing someone is one thing, but Yang Zhen went too far, actually destroying the cultivation level that someone had worked so hard to achieve.
The Third Holy Maiden stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them. They approached Yang Zhen and asked, "You... what is this?"
Many people around were staring at Yang Zhen, as if everyone would stand up for Luo Jin unless Yang Zhen gave a reasonable explanation.
Ignoring the stares of those around him, Yang Zhen approached Luo Jin with a half-smile and said playfully, "What is this? The Third Holy Maiden shouldn't be asking me. This Saint Venerable Luo should know very well, right?"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze was taken aback and all turned to Luo Jin.
Jin Chanzi gave a wry smile as he approached Yang Zhen and asked with some curiosity, "Once the Heavenly Forbidden Insect enters the body, even Emperor Venerable expert cannot remove it. How did you manage to do it?"
" Heavenly Forbidden Insect, this is Heavenly Forbidden Insect?"
Yang Zhen remained silent, but a series of gasps suddenly arose from the surrounding area, and many people even subconsciously took several steps back, staring in horror at the Heavenly Forbidden Insect in Yang Zhen's hand.
"Why does Yang Zhen have the Heavenly Forbidden Insect? Could this Heavenly Forbidden Insect be...?"
"Of course! The Heavenly Forbidden Insect is even rarer than the Savage Wilderness Species. Everyone knows that Saint Venerable Luo obtained one half a year ago, but how did it end up in Yang Zhen's hands?"
"What's there to doubt? Yang Zhen and Luo Jin only met for the first time. We didn't sense any aura of the Heavenly Forbidden Insect. Luo Jin would never give such a vicious and precious insect to Yang Zhen. That means... Luo Jin mistook the Heavenly Forbidden Insect for a Gu worm and injected it into Yang Zhen's body."
"What?"
"This..."
The people around gasped in surprise, all looking at Luo Jin in disbelief.
The Heavenly Forbidden Insect is an extremely insidious and vicious insect from the Savage Wilderness era. Although it is not aggressive, once it burrows into the body, even a powerful expert at the Emperor Venerable Realm is helpless against it.
This insect is extremely rare; it was once rumored to be able to kill a true dragon or sacred beast, let alone a mere human cultivator.
If Luo Jin was the one who planted the Heavenly Forbidden Insect into Yang Zhen's body that day, then Luo Jin was far too ruthless.
The Third Holy Maiden' faces showed anger as they stared at Luo Jin and asked, " Saint Venerable Luo, aren't you going to explain yourself?"
A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed across Saint Venerable Luo's face. He laughed maniacally, appearing almost delirious, leaving Elder Luo completely bewildered. He hurriedly shouted in a deep voice, " Luo Jin, guard your mind!"
"Guard your mind?"
Luo Jin's eyes suddenly turned blood red as he stared intently at Yang Zhen and said, "It's over, it's all over. The Final Step I painstakingly took to achieve enlightenment has been ruined by this bastard. Moreover, I'm entangled in the karma of Heart Demon, and I'll never be able to break through to the Emperor Realm in this lifetime. World Honored One, you told me to guard my mind, but why should I guard my mind?"
Upon hearing Luo Jin's words, Elder Luo was terrified. He stared at Luo Jin in horror, his face pale. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Yang Zhen made a shoveling sound, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
I've seen petty people before, but never one this petty. All I did was expose your despicable methods, and you've already fallen from grace and are now plagued by Heart Demon and karma. Were you raised in a vase from childhood?
People who haven't experienced the harsh realities of society have such low tolerance for hardship. If the Third Holy Maiden were to follow this guy, who knows how much suffering they would endure in their lives.
Fortunately, the Third Holy Maiden made a Sage of Saunter decision and took a liking to this Heavenbreaker handsome and sunny guy.
The group of people around him had the same expression as Yang Zhen; no one had expected that Luo Jin would be so narrow-minded.
No wonder Yang Zhen said that it's easy to draw a dragon or a tiger but difficult to draw their bones, and easy to know a person's face but difficult to know their heart. It turns out that Luo Jin had unknowingly injected the Heavenly Forbidden Insect into Yang Zhen's body.
But how did Yang Zhen get it removed?
At this moment, everyone had the same question in their minds, just like Jin Chanzi: how exactly did Yang Zhen discover that the Heavenly Forbidden Insect had entered his body, and how did he remove it?
Jin Chanzi stared at Luo Jin in horror, muttering to himself, "How... how could this be?"
Yang Zhen patted Jin Chanzi on the shoulder; clearly, the guy was also a bit stunned.
However, things rarely go as planned, and even the weather can change unexpectedly. It's no surprise that people can experience sudden misfortune or fortune.
"Master, this is fate."
Jin Chanzi turned his head blankly to look at Yang Zhen, and asked in a daze, "Does Layman Yang believe in fate?"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Yes, but I don't believe in my own fate. You guys, though, can at least believe in yours to some extent. Take Brother Luo Jin, for example. He's shrouded in dark aura in the Heavenly Court; he looks like a person with a bad fate."
"You bastard!"
Just then, a deafening roar resounded. Luo Jin's eyes turned bloodshot, and a massive wave suddenly erupted from his body as he charged towards Yang Zhen.
How terrifying would Saint Venerable Realm expert be if they unleashed their full power?
And it was a sneak attack, a shameless sneak attack!
Caught off guard, everyone present was thrown back, even Jin Chanzi staggered back more than ten steps before finally stopping, hurriedly exclaiming, "Layman Yang, be careful!"
Just as Saint Venerable Luo was about to strike Yang Zhen with his palm, everyone staggered and cried out in alarm. A gloomy look appeared on Elder Luo's face.
Clearly, if Luo Jin could kill Yang Zhen with a single blow, he might still have a chance to make up for the consequences of his Heart Demon.
The Third Holy Maiden, their faces pale, cried out and rushed towards Yang Zhen, but it was too late.
For a cultivator at the Saint Venerable Realm, killing another Saint Realm is no easy task.
Everyone thought Yang Zhen was doomed.
But... when everyone's eyes fell on Yang Zhen, they found that this bastard didn't show the slightest bit of shock, he was completely indifferent!
