The sudden scene startled everyone.
No one expected that Yang Zhen would dare to act so recklessly at such a critical moment, one that concerned his reputation, and instruct the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan to attack Elder Quan.
As the Sea Dragon Clan leader unleashed a burst of violent power, a dozen or so Sea Dragon Clan warriors at the Spirit Wandering Realm stood guard, watching the actions of everyone around them, especially those from Flower Mountain Blessed Land, none of them daring to make a move.
Elder Quan was also startled, his face turning ashen as he roared at Yang Zhen, " Yang Zhen, do you really want to be an enemy of all human cultivators?"
"Oh my!" Yang Zhen laughed heartily, then looked at the elder and said loudly, "Old man, don't talk so high and mighty. Just because you say I'm an enemy of humanity, does that mean I'm an enemy of humanity?"
At this point, Yang Zhen, unaware of the situation, spat out, "Damn it, I, this ' Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter,' just don't like you and want to beat you up. You dare to flatter Laozi? Fine, let's see who dares to help you today. I'm telling you right now, today I'm just going to beat this old bastard up. Anyone who dares to interfere, don't blame me for being ruthless and sending you to your grandmother's grave!"
Wow!
These words caused an uproar, with everyone looking at Yang Zhen and the dozen or so Spirit Wandering Realm experts around him with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
What a joke! Everyone's too busy standing by and watching to interfere; getting involved now would be asking for trouble.
"Aww... Yang Zhen, I swear I'll never forgive you! I'll make you wish you were never born!"
The leader of the Sea Dragon Clan was a powerful figure capable of fighting against Elder Gu and putting them at a disadvantage. Elder Quan was no match for him and was soon beaten black and blue, complaining bitterly.
As if on Yang Zhen's orders, the Sea Dragon Clan leader deliberately pounded his fist, the size of a sandbag, on Elder Quan's face. The muffled thuds echoed continuously, knocking out all of Elder Quan's teeth. His howls became distorted and began to whimper.
"666, kid, you're Niu Bi! You won over a group of such capable followers with just a few words!"
The Shameless Cat darted out and kept cheering "666" for the Sea Dragon Clan leader next to Yang Zhen.
Wan Tianchen and the others from Flower Mountain Blessed Land had ashen faces, but dared not make any rash moves. Not to mention that Yang Zhen had so many Spirit Wandering Realm experts watching him covetously, Yang Zhen only wanted to beat up Elder Quan and had no intention of killing him. If they made a move at this time and angered this bastard, it was still unknown whether Elder Quan could survive.
It wasn't until Elder Quan lay sprawled on the ground, unable to get up no matter how much they kicked him, his old face swollen like a pig's, that everyone suddenly realized what had happened. They all gasped and stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
At this moment, the Elder Gu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Young man, show mercy when you can!"
Yang Zhen glanced at Elder Gu and said with a sneer, " Old Gu, I'd like to show some mercy, but who's thinking about me? Has this Old Quan ever considered sparing me?"
Elder Gu's expression froze for a moment, then he gave a bitter smile and said, " Yang Zhen, given your personality, if you wanted to kill Elder Quan, he would probably be dead long ago. But you didn't do it. If I'm not mistaken, you don't want the Sea Dragon Clan to create too many troubles. Let's stop and talk things over. What exactly is going on?"
Upon hearing the Elder Gu words, everyone present suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Yang Zhen with hesitant expressions.
Thinking about it now, what the Elder Gu said was probably true. Otherwise, given Yang Zhen's personality, would he care about the lives of everyone here?
If Yang Zhen hadn't been considering the interests of the Sea Dragon Clan Sea Dragon Clan, he probably would have already ordered them to kill everyone here. He might even have secretly helped Sea Dragon Clan, or at the very least, he might have tried to steal the storage rings.
You should know that Yang Zhen, when he goes crazy, is the type to strip people of their clothes.
Upon hearing Elder Gu's words, Wang Meiling and the Shameless Cat's expressions changed, and they looked at Yang Zhen strangely.
A series of questions flashed through everyone's minds: Why did the Sea Dragon Clan appear at this time, and why did they attack the human cultivators without saying a word?
What surprised and puzzled people the most was that Yang Zhen actually understood the language of the Sea Dragon Clan and was able to reach some kind of agreement with them.
This whole thing is strange.
Now everyone realized that Yang Zhen's actions were probably a way of restraining the Sea Dragon Clan; otherwise, given the temperament of the Sea Dragon Clan when they first appeared, this place would probably have been awash in blood long ago.
What... exactly is going on?
All eyes were on Yang Zhen Yang Zhen. With a casual wave of his hand, the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan immediately abandoned Elder Quan and returned to Yang Zhen's side.
"Alright, let's have a proper talk then?" Yang Zhen pondered for a moment before speaking to Elder Gu.
Elder Gu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, and hesitantly asked, "What exactly happened? Why is the Sea Dragon Clan attacking humans? What kind of existence is this Emperor Island? And what about the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness...?"
"Stop!" Yang Zhen's face darkened as he looked at the Elder Gu and said, "Old man, do you think I'm the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness, knowing everything?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the Elder Gu's face, and the others also felt a wave of disappointment.
Although Elder Gu had asked a series of questions, they were all questions that everyone wanted to know the answers to.
Yang Zhen whispered something to the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan. The leader hesitated for a moment, then exchanged a low roar with the other Sea Dragon Clan Sea Dragon Clan, urging them to leave their original positions and move away from the area of the many cultivators, where they waited quietly in place.
Elder Quan had already fainted and was taken away by his fellow disciples. The Elder Gu was right. Although Yang Zhen wanted to just slap the old man to death, Yang Zhen wouldn't do that.
Yang Zhen a fearless person who was not afraid of any trouble. Even a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Wandering Realm would not be an easy task to kill him. However, he was unwilling to cause any trouble for the Sea Dragon Clan, as this was a matter of principle.
The dark red-scaled Sea Dragon Clan in front of him was indeed the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan. After gathering his people, he stood beside Yang Zhen, looking somewhat impatient, and whispered to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen gestured to the Sea Dragon Clan leader to calm down, glanced at the curious crowd, and said to Elder Gu, " The Sea Dragon Clan is peaceful by nature and has never wanted to have much contact with humans. They only want to find a place to live, nothing more."
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, looking at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty. One of the Nascent Soul Realm elders frowned and said, " Yang Zhen, this is all your word. How can we believe you?"
"That's right. From the moment they appeared, the Sea Dragon Clan has harbored hatred towards humans, attacking without a word. They are peaceful by nature, how could I not see that?"
" Yang Zhen, do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?"
A group of people bombarded Yang Zhen with questions, to which Yang Zhen scoffed and said, "Gentlemen, if the Sea Dragon Clan truly harbored deep hatred for humans, would you still be standing here speaking to this ' Sage of Saunter'?"
Everyone's expression changed, and before they could speak, Yang Zhen continued, "I'm just stating a fact. Whether you believe it or not, does it matter?"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere froze instantly. Everyone glared resentfully at Yang Zhen, who was still the Nascent Soul Realm elder. He pondered and said, "Leaving all that aside, how did you know about these things concerning the Sea Dragon Clan? And... why can you communicate with the Sea Dragon Clan Sea Dragon Clan and speak their language?"
Upon hearing the old man's question, everyone turned their gaze to Yang Zhen's face, their earnest intent evident in their intense stares.
Yang Zhen glanced at the old man and said, "It was... the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness who told me!"
"What?" The old man was shocked, and the others looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
The Elder Gu man hesitated, then asked again, "Is everything you've said true?"
Just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, a deep, aged, and ancient voice came from behind him. "What this young friend said is all true."
