I can't answer this kind of question. Even if Empress of Emperor Su Palace clearly has feelings for this Sage of Saunter, I still can't answer this kind of Sage of Saunter.
Answering that question would sow a seed of future unrest, and this Sage of Saunter man is not one to fall into that trap so easily.
A look of surprise appeared on Yang Zhen's face. He took a deep breath and looked at the surrounding mountains.
"What a beautiful sunny day! The scenery is lovely everywhere!"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace stared blankly as Yang Zhen recited poems and walked deeper into the mountains, a strange expression on her face. She stamped her foot, followed him, and then couldn't help but chuckle, as if seeing Yang Zhen get the short end of the stick was an extremely happy thing.
However... the weather here isn't exactly picturesque.
An aura of destruction lingered in the mountains, deterring not only human cultivators but even some unintelligent animals from coming to this place.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, there is almost no spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is partly due to the Great Emperor refining heaven and earth, but also because the entrance to the Gods and Devils Ruins is constantly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy, resulting in an extremely scarce spiritual energy here.
Yang Zhen swaggered into the mountains, and Empress of Emperor Su Palace hurriedly said, "Wait a moment."
Hearing this, Yang Zhen, with one foot still on the ground, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace glared at Yang Zhen with annoyance and said, "The entrance to the Gods and Devils Ruins is just ahead. This place is shrouded in a poisonous miasma all year round. A slight mistake will lead to eternal damnation."
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, patting his chest and saying, "What kind of poisonous miasma is so potent that it can kill even Emperor Realm expert?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace shook her head and said, "It's not that it can poison Emperor Realm expert. This poisonous miasma can stimulate the minds of all living beings in the world, causing hallucinations. Although it's not fatal, it's very troublesome. Someone was once trapped inside for as long as ten years."
Yang Zhen stopped abruptly, looking at the Empress of Emperor Su Palace with a strange expression. Just as he was about to speak, the Great Emperor's voice suddenly rang out. "Boy, what's wrong? Scared?"
Scared?
Yang Zhen rolled up his sleeves, raised his middle finger towards the air, and said, "There's nothing in this world that this ' Sage of Saunter' fears. It's just a poisonous miasma, right? Watch how this ' Sage of Saunter' breaks it for you!"
With that, Yang Zhen headed towards the poisonous miasma.
Empress of Emperor Su Palace hurriedly pulled Yang Zhen back, saying, "Why are you so impulsive? Just because someone said a few words to you, you rushed in. This poisonous miasma is a product of the era of Gods and Devils, and it has existed here for countless years. No one can easily break free from it, and no one understands what this poisonous miasma is. What if you go in like this and can't come out?"
Oh yes, what if we can't get out?
The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth is about to arrive. If we are trapped inside, wouldn't we be undergoing tribulation within it?
It's fine for Sage of Saunter, to undergo tribulation inside, but Empress Fengyu can't wait. Her meridians are still being damaged, and if they aren't repaired quickly, it might affect her cultivation.
The Three Flowers Holy Land only has two Emperor Realm. The Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness has returned to the East Sea, and it is unknown when he will return. If a great Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, the Three Flowers Holy Land will have to rely on Empress Fengyu.
So Yang Zhen decided... he couldn't wait any longer; he had to go in as soon as possible and then come out as soon as possible.
Seeing the expression on Yang Zhen's face, Empress of Emperor Su Palace was startled and hurriedly asked, " Yang Zhen, you wouldn't be...?"
"Oh?" The Great Emperor's voice held a hint of amusement as he laughed heartily, saying mockingly, "It seems you've made your decision, boy. Let me give you a heads-up: I accidentally touched some of this poisonous miasma a few days ago and almost caused a terrible disaster. With your cultivation level, once you're contaminated, not only will you lose all your power, but you'll also be tainted by the karma of the Gods and Devils Era, which will be enough to make you suffer."
At this point, the Great Emperor seemed to become interested and continued, "Let me guess how many breaths you can last, one? Or two?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace, her face pale, gritted her teeth and followed Yang Zhen. Just as she was about to speak, Yang Zhen took a step forward.
"No, no, no, today I, the Sage of Saunter, will show you what it means to be the favored son of Heaven and Earth."
With that, Yang Zhen stepped inside.
The Great Emperor laughed heartily, saying in an absurd tone, "The son of Heaven and Earth? You're the first brat to dare say that before me. I'd like to see just how you can be my son."
Empress of Emperor Su Palace opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. Watching Yang Zhen walk inside, she hurriedly followed him in.
Upon entering, Empress of Emperor Su Palace staggered, her face pale, as if her soul had been severely impacted, and her eyes became glazed.
Just then, a pink light suddenly emanated from the Empress of Emperor Su Palace Empress of Emperor Su Palace, enveloping her.
A pendant-like object slowly floated up from the Emperor Su Palace's chest. Enveloped in pink light, Empress of Emperor Su Palace regained her senses slightly and, gritting her teeth, pushed the pendant toward Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen seemed completely stunned, his face blank, standing motionless as if he were dead.
A soft exclamation rang out, and the Great Emperor's voice, tinged with surprise, said, "Little girl, you actually possess a Divine Treasure... What are you going to do? This boy has already been corrupted by the poisonous miasma and is beyond saving. Even if you give him the Divine Treasure, it won't save his life. Why don't you cooperate with me? The two of us can definitely turn the entire Gods and Devils Ruins upside down."
Empress of Emperor Su Palace shook her head and said, "Impossible. This Divine Treasure can only be used by myself. Even you couldn't maintain it for even a moment."
The Great Emperor pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Actually, this lad is not bad. If he were a little more composed, I might have been able to reluctantly accept him as a disciple. It's just a pity that his personality is too eccentric and too self-righteous... Little girl, stop now, or you'll be dead too."
Finally, the Great Emperor exclaimed in surprise, seemingly quite astonished by the Empress of Emperor Su Palace's actions.
Empress of Emperor Su Palace gave Yang Zhen a deep look, then smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hold out for much longer. Now that I've come in with Yang Zhen, I must protect him. And... I can only place my hopes on him."
The Great Emperor snorted coldly, his tone impatient, and said, "You say I can't even last long, yet you're pinning your hopes on that Kid Yang? Are you kidding me?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace was taken aback. Instead of speaking, she yanked the pendant off and threw it at Yang Zhen.
The Great Emperor let out a low cry.
Just then, endless poisonous miasma surged towards the Empress of Emperor Su Palace, threatening to engulf Empress of Emperor Su Palace.
Why are you doing this, silly girl?
The Great Emperor sighed, seemingly shaking his head in regret.
In this way, even he, the Great Emperor, could not protect the Empress of Emperor Su Palace.
Everyone in the Emperor Su Palace gasped in surprise, especially the old woman, who almost glared at him and rushed forward.
But what good would it do for them to rush up?
Just as the Empress of Emperor Su Palace said, everyone could only place their unrealistic hopes on Yang Zhen.
But... can Yang Zhen do it?
Countless eyes turned to Yang Zhen, who seemed to be frozen in place; even the Great Emperor looked at Yang Zhen.
Just as the pendant was about to fall at Yang Zhen's feet, Yang Zhen suddenly moved.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Zhen casually grabbed the pendant, flicked it, and the pendant traced an arc in the air before landing almost perfectly on the neck of the Empress of Emperor Su Palace.
"Roll!"
A voice, seemingly emanating from the Nine Netherworlds, rang out.
The poisonous miasma that filled the sky receded like a tide.
"Dig the grass!"
A gasp came from mid-air, out of sight of the others.
The entire world seemed to tremble, showing just how shocked the Great Emperor in mid-air was.
