Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The Shameless Cat stood atop a mountain, gazing into the distance from time to time, and said with a pout, "Kid, where's the fat sheep? Forget fat sheep, there isn't even a skinny chicken. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Yang Zhen, looking completely unconcerned, lay on a large tree and said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too. I'm not worried, so why are you?"
"Hot tofu?" The Shameless Cat's eyes lit up, and it asked eagerly, "What is hot tofu? Is it delicious?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, glared at the Shameless Cat with annoyance, then suddenly paused, remembering a kind of food from the blue planet that people both loved and hated. He chuckled and said, "I'll make you some delicious food sometime, I guarantee you'll want to eat it again and again, and from then on you'll think all the world's delicacies are bullshit!"
"You said it yourself..." A hint of doubt flashed across the Shameless Cat's surprised face as it looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and asked, "Why does your expression make it a little hard to believe?"
Yang Zhen was furious. He sat up and said, "Damn it, if you're so capable, then don't eat it!"
The Shameless Cat pursed its lips, wisely choosing to remain silent, but its eyes darted around, seemingly plotting something.
"Why haven't they arrived yet? Did I guess wrong?" Yang Zhen glanced around, his gaze settling on a bush, a smile playing on his lips.
On the shores of the East Sea.
"Have you heard? Yang Zhen and those two bastards, Shameless Cat, have appeared near a mountain range called White Cloud Mountain in the Youyang Kingdom. I wonder what they're up to."
"Fellow Daoist, your information is too limited. Almost everyone knows now that Yang Zhen and that Shameless Cat have not only appeared at White Cloud Mountain, but they seem to be waiting for a secret treasure to be revealed!"
"You actually believe such rumors? I've been down to White Cloud Mountain once; it's a barren place. How could there be any hidden treasure there?"
"Hey, you don't know this, do you? Knowing Yang Zhen and that Shameless Cat, they wouldn't linger this long in a place without something good."
"That's absolutely right. I've heard that Yang Zhen's enemies have gone to White Cloud Mountain, and even three experts at the Spirit Wandering Realm have gone to Flower Mountain Blessed Land together."
"What?!" Everyone was taken aback, exclaiming in shock, "Three experts at the Spirit Wandering Realm?"
"Not just three. I just received information that Flower Mountain Blessed Land has invited two Spirit Wandering Realm experts from Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven to go there together. It seems they are determined to kill Yang Zhen!"
"That's understandable. Yang Zhen has killed too many people from Flower Mountain Blessed Land. Elder Wang and Elder Pan Jinglian both died at Yang Zhen's hands. Yang Zhen's actions have almost completely enraged Flower Mountain Blessed Land."
More and more cultivators received the news. Among them were Yang Zhen's enemies, as well as many people who coveted Yang Zhen's series of storage rings.
Once Yang Zhen dies, those storage rings will be enough to cause a stir throughout the entire East Sea coast.
And then there's that Shameless Cat. Although it's impossible to kill, it's not difficult to restrain it. It also has quite a few nice things hanging around its neck.
On Ten Thousand Flowers Island, some cultivators who had witnessed Yang Zhen's head-on Heavenly Tribulation had very different opinions. When they heard that the five Spirit Wandering Realm experts from Flower Mountain Blessed Land Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven were going to White Cloud Mountain together, they all sneered.
"Five cultivators at the Spirit Wandering Realm think they can kill Yang Zhen? These people are simply delusional. Given Yang Zhen's cunning, would he just stand by and wait for everyone to kill him?"
"What this fellow Daoist said makes sense. In my opinion, those Spirit Wandering Realm experts from Flower Mountain Blessed Land and Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven are less there to kill Yang Zhen and more there to use the pretext of killing Yang Zhen to seize the secret treasure!"
"What? That makes sense then. Killing Yang Zhen Yang Zhen n't easy, but seizing the secret treasure from him wouldn't be difficult at all!"
Is there really a secret treasure?
"Otherwise, Yang Zhen and that Shameless Cat would probably have run away long ago!"
More and more cultivators are gathering at White Cloud Mountain, each with their own thoughts and purposes. However, most of them agree on one thing: Yang Zhen has been guarding this desolate place for so long, so there must be some secret treasure or inheritance that has been revealed.
On White Cloud Mountain, the bored and mischievous Shameless Cat suddenly leaped three feet high and darted to Yang Zhen's side, saying with feigned surprise, "Kid, you almost fooled me. We're waiting here for a fat sheep, but what if we don't slaughter the fat sheep and instead get slaughtered by it? Did you have some plans? What were you sneaking around doing the other day?"
Yang Zhen curled her lip and said with a look of disdain, "I thought you wouldn't have thought of that. Turns out you're not hopelessly stupid after all!"
The Shameless Cat, far from being angry, chuckled and said, "That's much better. I knew you were wicked. How could you just sit there and wait to be killed? But this has been going on for too long, almost two days already. Why haven't they come yet?"
Yang Zhen pointed to a huge sun in the west and said irritably, "What the hell are you in such a hurry for? The sun hasn't set yet!"
The Shameless Cat pouted, whined, and ran off to hide.
Beyond their sight, a barely noticeable dark shadow flashed past in a thicket and disappeared into the rolling mountains.
The dark figure darted swiftly through the mountains and forests, soon climbing halfway up a mountain. It arrived before five elderly men, their presence now faded, and respectfully said, "Five seniors, Yang Zhen truly shows no sign of leaving."
Among the five elders, a thin old man with a sinister expression sneered, "When did the elders of Flower Mountain Blessed Land become so cautious? He's just a Void Refinement Realm brat. Although he has some talent, how powerful can he be? The reason he's delaying leaving is naturally to wait for the secret treasure to open. With the five of us at the Spirit Wandering Realm here, are you afraid we can't capture this brat alive?"
Upon hearing the thin old man's words, an elderly man sitting cross-legged with a steady breathing opened his eyes, glanced at the old man, and said, " Yang Zhen is not to be underestimated. This might be a trap. Caution is advised!"
"Caution?" Beside the thin old man, a broad-faced old man laughed loudly, "What a joke! Five experts at the Divine Spirit Wandering Realm need to be so cautious to kill a Void Refinement Realm brat. Your Flower Mountain Blessed Land is too cowardly to go. Why don't Elder Fengquan and I go first and capture Yang Zhen?"
The old man from Flower Mountain Blessed Land glanced indifferently at the broad-faced elder without saying a word.
The broad-faced old man and the thin old man exchanged a glance, snorted coldly in unison, and turned to leave, when suddenly another dark figure swept in from afar.
" Elder Feng, we've checked everything; there's nothing unusual near White Cloud Mountain."
Elder Feng's expression hardened upon hearing this. He stood up and said, "Let's go. If we capture Yang Zhen, we can ask him what's so unusual about this place!"
Boom boom boom!
Five terrifying shockwaves shot into the sky, heading towards White Cloud Mountain.
The violent shockwave blotted out the sky and appeared exceptionally powerful in the afterglow of the setting sun; the aura of the five Spirit Wandering Realm experts was enough to sweep across the heavens and earth.
All the cultivators who were secretly observing were shocked. They looked up at the five violent energies and were all horrified.
"It's the Flower Mountain Blessed Land! Five experts at the Divine Spirit Wandering Realm have made their move!"
In their shock, everyone rushed towards White Cloud Mountain, jostling each other for fear of being too late.
Inside the Shangyuan Sect White Cloud Mountain, all the disciples and elders turned pale with fright as they felt the terrifying power in mid-air, filled with dread.
"Who... who is this person? They are terrifying!"
On a peak of White Cloud Mountain, the Shameless Cat cackled, "Oh my, look, look! Five experts at the Spirit Wandering Realm have arrived! Damn, five fat sheep! These really are fat sheep, fat beyond measure!"
