Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in astonishment. Luo Jin's face showed a hint of interest, and even Elder Luo looked skeptical, as if he wanted to hear Yang Zhen's explanation before deciding whether to believe him or not. They were all amazed by Yang Zhen's Celestial Person.
This guy, with just a few words, fooled both the grandfather and grandson. Yang Zhen's mouth is truly either on the path to infuriating people or on the path to deceiving them.
I'm truly impressed!
A group of people stared at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, eagerly waiting for him to continue.
Luo Jin frowned. He didn't care whether Yang Zhen was there to save the Western Region Holy Assembly or not. Why would the Western Region Holy Assembly need a mere Saint Realm youth to save it?
Although Yang Zhen wasn't afraid of him killing him, this gave Luo Jin a sense of unreality, making him feel that Yang Zhen was not only big-mouthed but also big-hearted.
What Luo Jin cares about most right now is whether Yang Zhen will really give him a chance to erase his Heart Demon and karma. This chance is the most fatal for Luo Jin.
Seeing the expression on Luo Jin's face, Yang Zhen sighed and said, "A person with such a noble spirit as me won't be affected by these petty grudges. Although you put the Heavenly Forbidden Insect into my body, it didn't cause me any harm, so I forgive you. Can this help you erase the demons and karma in your heart?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin's face immediately contorted with rage. He stared at Yang Zhen with an absurd expression and roared, "You bastard! If you continue to play me for fools, I will kill you! No one can stop me! Believe me, I can do it!"
Everyone around was completely bewildered. They had all expected Yang Zhen to come up with some brilliant idea, but instead, she chose to forgive Luo Jin?
If forgiveness were effective, why are there still so many life-or-death struggles in the world?
Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads. Yang Zhen was really courting death; how could he say such a thing? He'd only live a few more minutes.
Yang Zhen let out a soft "oh," shook his head, and sighed, saying, "I never imagined I would have such a profound impact on you, making you so fixated on me."
Luo Jin narrowed his eyes, stared at Yang Zhen, and said, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "I told you, you can't kill me. Believe me, I can do it too."
Damn it, you can't even catch up with this Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter, so how dare you talk about killing him?
Elder Luo hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to stop Luo Jin's continued rage. He stared at Yang Zhen and said, "Boy, there's no smoke without fire. You just said you came to save the Western Region Holy Assembly. Did you hear something?"
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up immediately, and he flattered her.
"As expected of a senior figure, his insight is truly remarkable, unlike those..."
"You!"
Luo Jin glared at her, clearly indicating that Yang Zhen was about to belittle him again.
Elder Luo snorted coldly and said, "Enough with the flattery. Tell me what information you've received."
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "It's not exactly definite information, but I know... Chen Xiaotian is here."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin's expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is it the Devil Venerable Lord Chen Xiaotian?"
Yang Zhen nodded, glanced at the expressions on Elder Luo and Luo Jin's faces, and said, "This old bastard is going to cause trouble at the Western Region Holy Assembly, and there may already be quite a few Devil Cultivator infiltrated. You should have a good idea of what to do, right?"
Elder Luo's face was grim as he stared at Yang Zhen and asked, "Is this information true?"
Yang Zhen glared at the sky and pointed, saying, "I swear, if Chen Xiaotian and his gang don't cause trouble, then let me suffer Heavenly Punishment!"
Upon hearing the words " Heavenly Punishment," everyone present showed expressions of horror, except for those who were familiar with Yang Zhen, whose expressions were somewhat bewildered.
Confused as they were, others couldn't understand it either; they only knew that Heavenly Punishment was a matter of life and death for any cultivator.
Luo Jin and Elder Luo exchanged a glance, looked at the black clouds gathering in the sky, and their expressions immediately relaxed.
Clearly, Yang Zhen's vow has come true, and a celestial phenomenon is about to occur.
Everyone looked up at the sky with solemn expressions. Yang Zhen blinked, then angrily exclaimed, "Damn it, you really can't just make oaths like that. Who knows what that old bastard Chen Xiaotian is up to?"
Although he didn't know, fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye. Now that Chen Xiaotian had come to the Western Region, he would definitely not let go of the Savage Wilderness treasure. Yang Zhen knew this better than anyone else.
Then, something completely baffling happened.
The dark clouds that had been rumbling and gathering suddenly let out a muffled thud and gradually dispersed.
It seems that upon seeing that the person who made the oath was actually that bastard Yang Zhen, even the celestial phenomena didn't bother to show themselves.
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment; this was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.
The Shameless Cat was stunned for a moment, then lay down on the ground laughing until tears streamed down its face.
Yang Zhen's face flushed red, and he immediately became indignant, pointing into the air and saying, "Damn it, I, this Sage of Saunter, swear a solemn oath, and you dare to disrespect me like this? Come out here if you dare, and I'll stab you to Sage of Saunter!"
boom!
A sudden Thunderclap echoed through the air, startling everyone.
But after that clap of Thunderclap, it disappeared, and the sky returned to clear skies, as if nothing had happened.
The Shameless Cat, lying on the ground, finally came to its senses and gasped, "Damn it! Kid, don't you have any self-respect? You're talking about Heavenly Punishment Heavenly Punishment? Haven't you experienced enough?"
Yang Zhen glared at him and said, "Can you fucking keep your voice down?"
Fortunately, everyone was stunned by the strange celestial phenomenon and didn't hear the Shameless Cat's mutterings.
Elder Luo and Luo Jin exchanged a glance and then both turned their gazes to Yang Zhen.
It was clear that Luo Jin was still concerned about his Heart Demon and karma, and he asked in a deep voice, "What does Chen Xiaotian's arrival in the Western Region have to do with my Heart Demon and karma?"
"This is a very big deal!"
Yang Zhen's face turned solemn as he said, "Your Heart Demon and karma are all tied to me. What you can't let go of is simply that you can't stand me but can't get rid of me. How about this, let's have a competition. Whether we win or lose depends on our abilities. You can use this opportunity to crush me in every way. That way, you'll feel better, and your Heart Demon and karma will be resolved."
Luo Jin's lips twitched, and he stared at Yang Zhen, asking, "What competition?"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Let's see who can take down Chen Xiaotian. Do you dare?"
Luo Jin snorted coldly and said, "Putting aside Chen Xiaotian's status as the Devil Venerable Lord, he's surrounded by numerous experts. How could you and I possibly kill him?"
Yang Zhen scoffed and said, "Can you resolve your Heart Demon and karmic entanglements by comparing who eats more?"
Luo Jin's eyes narrowed immediately. "Are you really going to have a competition?"
"Just tell me if you dare or not!" Yang Zhen scoffed.
"Good!"
Luo Jin said in a deep voice, "Let's compete then, who's afraid of you?"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily; this bastard was indeed quite easy to hook.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen turned his gaze to Jin Chanzi, Jin Chanzi immediately stiffened and subconsciously took two steps back. "You... what do you want to do?"
Yang Zhen wondered, how could Jin Chanzi have gotten involved?
This is a problem.
"Would you like to have a competition?" Yang Zhen asked tentatively.
Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together and said, " The Devil Venerable Lord Chen Xiaotian has no grudge against me, so why would I want to kill him?"
Upon hearing this, the people around him nodded in agreement.
That makes perfect sense; even Yang Zhen found it irrefutable.
But if you wield the hoe well, nothing is truly invincible.
Yang Zhen glared at him and shouted angrily, "Your mind is not on meditation!"
This angry shout startled everyone around.
Jin Chanzi's expression also hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "What makes you say such a thing, Benefactor Yang!"
Yang Zhen kicked the Shameless Cat away, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to begin his performance.
