Yang Zhen isn't afraid?
Yang Zhen seemed genuinely unafraid; the slap was almost on his head, yet his face remained as steady as a rock, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
However, Yang Zhen's lack of fear was understandable, since he didn't seem like someone who was afraid of death. But after seeing the expression on Yang Zhen's face, both the Third Holy Maiden and the Jade Pool Holy Lord breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone: "???"
What's going on between these two people?
Yang Zhen was, after all, the son-in-law of the Jade Pool Holy Land. How could the two of them be so relieved about their impending death?
In reality, things happened so fast that the people around didn't have time to look around. If they had looked in front of them, behind them, and to the left and right at that moment, they would have noticed a strange phenomenon.
The cultivators from the Central Court and those from the Youzhou Continent, regardless of their cultivation level, showed no concern for Yang Zhen. Instead, they seemed excited that something good was about to happen.
These people stared intently at Yang Zhen, as if Luo Jin would die the moment Yang Zhen made a move.
This strange phenomenon evoked a sense of awe and wonder, causing a strange expression to appear on Elder Luo's face. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhen suddenly shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Enraged, Luo Jin ignored Yang Zhen's words and roared, not only failing to stop but increasing his speed even further.
The expressions of the surrounding crowd changed drastically. They had thought Luo Jin was a magnanimous senior, but they never expected him to have injected such a vicious and insidious thing as the Heavenly Forbidden Insect into Yang Zhen's body. If Yang Zhen hadn't somehow managed to get it out, he would probably be dead by now.
Now, not only has Yang Zhen not pursued Luo Jin's responsibility, but he's only asked Luo Jin to explain himself. Yet Luo Jin has suddenly attacked, trying to kill Yang Zhen, without even giving Yang Zhen a chance to stop him or say anything?
In an instant, everyone's gaze toward Luo Jin became even more disdainful.
In this situation, even if Luo Jin kills Yang Zhen, his Heart Demon and karma will remain inextricably linked. Even if Luo Jin is thick-skinned enough to erase his Heart Demon and karma through self-comfort, the scorn of the world is no joke; he will be condemned to death.
Luo Jin didn't notice the problem. But who was Elder Luo? Seeing the gazes of those around him, he immediately snorted and said, " Luo Jin, stop!"
Elder Luo held a fairly solid position in Luo Jin's heart. After hearing Elder Luo's words, Luo Jin's bloodshot eyes regained some clarity. He stopped and stared intently at Yang Zhen, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Snort!"
Elder Luo gave a soft snort, and everyone around him was immediately struck dumb, their expressions changing drastically.
Especially Luo Jin, who turned around with a pale face and a bewildered expression, and said blankly, "World Honored One, why...?"
Elder Luo ignored Luo Jin and went to Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, giving him a deep look before saying, "Kid, you don't seem afraid that Luo Jin will kill you?"
Yang Zhen nodded honestly and said, "I'm not afraid, because he can't kill me at all."
"Fart!"
Luo Jin roared and was about to charge forward. A dignified Saint Venerable who had lived for ten thousand years, a bachelor for ten thousand years, had even lost this State of Mind. It was truly a pity.
The crowd around Luo Jin looked at him with pity, which made Elder Luo frown. He stared at Yang Zhen and said, "What exactly do you want?"
Yang Zhen exclaimed, "Oh dear, old foxes are indeed shrewder. That question hits the nail on the head. Unlike some little brats who only know how to use their fists, if your fists were big enough, that would be one thing, but you've only trained for a year or two and now you're showing off, trying to pick up girls like others. Aren't you just making a fool of yourself?"
"You... you..."
Luo Jin's face turned ashen with anger, but Elder Luo stopped him with a cold snort, "Isn't this humiliating enough?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin felt a sense of existential unease.
Did I get a lecture?
He got lectured by a guy who's ten thousand years younger than him?
Not only was he reprimanded by Yang Zhen, but his own World Honored One even sided with Yang Zhen?
How is that possible?
Despite having doubts about life, we should still heed the Buddha's words.
Luo Jin isn't stupid; there must be a reason why he would try to stop him from killing Yang Zhen under these circumstances.
After finally suppressing her anger, seeing Yang Zhen's "you can't do anything to me" look, she became furious again and simply turned her head away.
If things continue like this, Luo Jin will surely be driven mad with anger.
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want to do anything, it's just... you don't understand. You don't understand how empty a person with such great aspirations, someone who loves this world to the extreme, feels inside."
Everyone around was stunned by these words.
The Third Holy Maiden couldn't help but smile, and gave Yang Zhen a slight glare.
This bastard is still so out of touch with reality. What does this have to do with any grand sentiment of loving the world?
Elder Luo frowned and said, "Young man, I don't have time to listen to your lofty ideals. I need an explanation."
Yang Zhen nodded, crushed the insect in his hand, and said, "That's the explanation!"
"You!"
Luo Jin was furious. The Heavenly Forbidden Insect he had refined for a year had died at Yang Zhen's hands, and he was almost driven mad with rage.
I wonder if Luo Jin would feel any better knowing that Yang Zhen had taken the Heavenly Scorpion that Chen Xiaotian had refined for a thousand years.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, walked up to the Third Holy Maiden Third Holy Maiden, and took their hands in front of everyone. Looking at Luo Jin, he said, "It's not your fault for picking up girls, after all, you've been a bachelor for ages. But when you're picking up girls, can't you at least find out whose woman she is?"
At this point, Yang Zhen glared and said, "Damn it, you want to sleep with Sage of Saunter women? Just for that, I could kill you. But I can't..."
Yang Zhen looked pained and sighed, saying, "I am a compassionate person. I love this world, so I will not kill you. If I kill you, everyone in the Western Region Holy Assembly be in danger, and then everyone in the Western Region Holy Assembly will probably die."
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, especially Luo Jin, who took two steps back with a grim expression.
The cause and effect of this matter are very serious.
If everyone in the Western Region Holy Assembly were to die, then even if he broke through to the Emperor Realm, he would be completely unable to withstand any Heavenly Punishment at the Emperor Realm level.
But how is that possible?
How could someone from the Western Region Holy Assembly possibly die?
It must be that bastard Yang Zhen spouting nonsense.
Just as Luo Jin was about to speak, Yang Zhen said with a holy expression, "I've come to save the Western Region Holy Assembly!"
Wow!
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in utter bewilderment. This bastard really dared to say that! He actually came to save the Western Region Holy Assembly?
Elder Luo suddenly chuckled and said, "Boy, you should at least have some evidence before you spout nonsense. You came here to save the Western Region Holy Assembly, but I haven't sensed any danger. Rather than saying you came to save the Holy Association, it would be more accurate to say you came to cause trouble."
All eyes turned to Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen knew that no one believed him, but he didn't care about their lives. He would use anyone he could.
Ignoring the stares of those around them, Yang Zhen turned to Luo Jin and said, "I'm giving you a chance to sever your Heart Demon and karma. Do you want it?"
Seeing the interested look on Luo Jin's face, Yang Zhen knew that the fish had taken the bait.
