Yang Zhen stared at Hua Youyue in astonishment, then grabbed the fleeing Shameless Cat and pulled it back, asking strangely, "Someone wants to kill me? Isn't that just asking for trouble? What's going on?"
Hua Youyue gave a bitter smile and said, "What you did on Turtle-Snake Island and Donglin Island has reached Ten Thousand Flowers Island, so it's natural that it will attract attention. Actually... I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard that a disciple from a blessed land on Ten Thousand Flowers Island threatened to personally take your head if you dare to go Ten Thousand Flowers Island."
Yang Zhen burst into laughter, saying with great interest, "Where did this idiot come from? So showy, why doesn't he just fly to the moon!"
Hua Youyue glared at Yang Zhen and said, "If we're talking about being flashy, who can be more flashy than you?"
On Turtle and Snake Island, the dragon and tiger celestial phenomena materialized, and on East Forest Island, the Mirror World killed two Void Refinement stage experts with a single punch. Yang Zhen thought about it and realized that no one could be more impressive than him. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but asked with great interest, "What's this person's name?"
Hua Youyue hesitated for a moment before speaking, " Flower Mountain Blessed Land, Lu Baichi!"
"Idiot?" Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat said in unison, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Damn, that's an amazing name!"
"Boy, I've thought about it. We shouldn't bother with such an idiot. However, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness is no ordinary person; what he left behind might be dangerous. We'd better not go."
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked in the direction of Ten Thousand Flowers Island, and said, "No, I need to see what this strange talisman on my body has to do with that Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness, or I won't be able to sleep!"
"Are you crazy?" The Shameless Cat, three feet tall, jumped onto Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen and stared at him, saying, "That's the Great Emperor! He could kill you several times over with a single breath!"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "Even if they were powerful, they've been missing for so many years. Besides, aren't you curious about where these Emperor Realm experts went?"
The Shameless Cat shrank its neck and shook its head, saying, "I'm not curious, and you shouldn't ask either. What's wrong with just cultivating honestly? Curiosity killed the cat, kid!"
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat, turned around and walked away, waving his hand with his back to Hua Youyue.
The Shameless Cat let out a loud howl, pointing at Yang Zhen and saying, "Kid, explain yourself! What kind of look is that? I am Qilin, an all-powerful Qilin that can soar to the heavens and dive into the earth, not a cat!"
"I didn't say you were a cat, why are you so nervous?"
"Damn it, believe it or not, I'll slap you to death!"
"Come on, try tapping me!"
"I won't stoop to your level!"
"Coward!"
"Grass!"
Hua Youyue stared blankly at Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat's departing figures, muttering to herself, " Lu Baichi is no ordinary genius. If you leave, will you still be able to continue your legend?"
Ten Thousand Flowers Island was a little different from what Yang Zhen had imagined. It was filled with a violent Fire Essence, which made people feel suffocated and somewhat irritable.
Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat had traveled by boat all the way to Ten Thousand Flowers Island when they were stopped by a group of heavily armed men.
"Who goes there?" The leader, a dark gold-colored iron lump, stared at Yang Zhen, the Shameless Cat, and asked.
Yang Zhen was too lazy to argue with these people. It was already unbearable for them to be dressed like this in the sweltering heat, and there was no need to cause them any more trouble. So he simply threw the Elder Gu sign over.
The man with the muscular build instinctively took the wooden plaque, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically. He snapped to attention, gave a military salute, and respectfully asked, "Are you Yang Zhen?"
"Huh?" Yang Zhen was taken aback, then nodded and said, "It's me!"
The iron lump's expression brightened with joy, and it said, "Great! You've finally arrived! We received orders that as long as you're here, we must invite you to Ten Thousand Flowers Tower!"
Yang Zhen asked, puzzled, "Who gave you these orders? And what kind of place is Ten Thousand Flowers Tower?"
The Shameless Cat also stared warily at the metal lump, looking ready to run away at the slightest provocation.
"Young Master Yang, there's no need to worry. Ten Thousand Flowers Tower is just a restaurant, the largest one on Ten Thousand Flowers Island. Coming to Ten Thousand Flowers Island and not going to Ten Thousand Flowers Tower is practically the same as coming for nothing. As for whose orders we received, Young Master Yang will find out when we arrive. I'm just here to guide you!"
"Kid, watch out, it might be a trap!" the Shameless Cat whispered in Yang Zhen's ear.
"... Furthermore, Ten Thousand Flowers Tower has already prepared the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet, awaiting only Young Master Yang's arrival!"
Upon hearing the words "Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet," the Shameless Cat's saliva immediately began to drip, which Yang Zhen slapped onto Shameless Cat Shameless Cat's chin, smearing every last drop onto its fur.
The Shameless Cat howled and grabbed Yang Zhen's shoulder, saying, "Kid, I've been thinking. Now that we're on Ten Thousand Flowers Island, even if Ten Thousand Flowers Tower is a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, we still have to brave it. Don't worry, I'll lead the charge this time!"
Yang Zhen stared at the Shameless Cat and said, "Stop drooling!"
The Shameless Cat glared at her, tossed its head, and said, "You can't take back water that's already spilled."
Yang Zhen's face darkened, and he slapped the Shameless Cat on the head.
The Shameless Cat shrank back, failing to dodge Yang Zhen's slap, and arrogantly said to the iron lump, "Hurry up and lead the way! This venerable one is a bit tired from the long journey and needs to rest as soon as possible!"
Iron Lump chuckled and said to Yang Zhen and the other man, "Please follow me!"
As expected of Ten Thousand Flowers Tower, the largest restaurant on Ten Thousand Flowers Island, it was bustling with people yet orderly. Upon seeing Yang Zhen and his group enter, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Yang Zhen.
A young woman in a dark red dress gracefully approached, whispered a few words to Tie Geda, and then smiled as she came to Yang Zhen's side, saying, "Young Master Yang, this way please!"
Upon hearing the woman in the long dress's words, everyone present was taken aback and stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
"No wonder that cat looked so familiar, it was Yang Zhen!"
" Yang Zhen really dares to come. This is going to be interesting. Now that the news has spread, Lu Baichi might arrive soon."
"I wonder what will happen when these two meet."
" Yang Zhen acts eccentrically and entirely on his whims, while Lu Baichi is arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone. If these two were to meet, it would be quite a spectacle; they might actually end up fighting."
Who do you think will win?
"Of course! Although there are rumors that Yang Zhen killed Void Refinement Realm expert, Lu Baichi is also capable of killing Void Refinement Realm experts. Moreover, he killed three Void Refinement Realm experts with just one sword strike. How could Yang Zhen possibly be a match for such a monstrous talent?"
The Shameless Cat on Yang Zhen's shoulder, suddenly perked up. It grabbed Yang Zhen's collar and said, "Holy crap, kid, this is terrible! That idiot killed three Void Refinement Realm with a single sword strike. He's obviously incredibly powerful. Let's get out of here!"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, glanced at the direction of the crowd's discussion, and said with a sneer, "Who did this Void Refinement Realm cultivator offend? He's really pitiful for taking the blame."
"Damn it, now's not the time to talk about this. If we don't leave now, what if that idiot cuts you down with one sword?"
"Can't you fucking have any faith in me?"
"Isn't this all for your own good?"
"Would you like to attend the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet?"
"Eat!"
"Then shut up!"
As Yang Zhen followed the woman upstairs, he also felt a little curious.
Lu Baichi is making such a big show of trying to kill him, and yet someone wants to invite him to dinner?
Who exactly is this person?
Yang Zhen for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so she simply gave up and walked upstairs without a care.
The people who invited him to dinner were either from one of two groups: his own people, namely Elder Gu's side, or his enemies, such as Lu Baichi's side or anyone else who wanted to kill him.
This is a complete mystery, and unfortunately, Yang Zhen dislikes mysteries the most. Rather than guessing, Yang Zhen prefers to dig a hole or punch someone directly.
