The story of the secret treasure of White Cloud Mountain was nothing but a baseless rumor. This matter spread far and wide throughout the eastern part of the Youzhou Continent. What was even more unexpected was that Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were not actually waiting for the secret treasure to be opened at White Cloud Mountain at all; they were simply going home.
Now that Yang Zhen's background is known, no one would have guessed that Yang Zhen, who caused chaos throughout the eastern part of the continent and the coast of the East Sea, was just a country boy from a village in White Cloud Mountain, or at least that's what he said.
For a moment, everyone felt a sense of unreality. But if only one person said it, it would be one thing, but if countless people said it, people had no choice but to believe it or not.
Another incident caused a great uproar on the shores of the East Sea: Yang Zhen captured all five Spirit Wandering Realm experts from Flower Mountain Blessed Land and Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven at White Cloud Mountain.
The story spread like wildfire throughout the entire East Sea coast.
Five days have passed, and many people still don't believe it, especially those who know Yang Zhen very well. They all know that Yang Zhen has only just broken through to the Void Refinement Realm, how could he possibly capture five experts at the Spirit Wandering Realm all at once?
"This is utterly ridiculous! Cultivators these days are becoming more and more outrageous. People actually believe such absurd rumors—capturing five Spirit Wandering Realm experts? It's laughable!"
"Although Yang Zhen once killed a Spirit Wandering Realm expert and even slapped that mysterious Spirit Wandering Realm genius youth away, how could he possibly capture five Spirit Wandering Realm experts all at once? By the way, what was that mysterious Spirit Wandering Realm youth's name again?"
"His name seems to be Gu Langyun. He's already a powerful expert in the Spirit Wandering Realm at such a young age, and he's even comprehended the Spirit Wandering State. He's truly terrifying. Is the Spirit Road really that terrifying?"
"That's for sure. Otherwise, why would so many exceptional talents gather on the Spirit Road? If they can fight their way out of the Spirit Road, their future will be limitless."
"It's said that Yang Zhen is about to go to Spirit Road, but I didn't expect him to cause such a big commotion before leaving."
"You believe that? The claim of capturing five experts at the Spirit Wandering Realm? That's probably just a rumor spread by that bastard Yang Zhen."
"Hey, look! That's Fang Buming, Fang Lingzi from the Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven. It's said that the Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven spent countless rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures on him, and at only twenty-something years old, he's already a powerful expert in the Spirit Wandering Realm."
"Quickly, go and find out if this is really true."
A group of people rushed towards Fang Buming, causing quite a stir in the surrounding area.
Fang Buming and his group had cold, stern expressions. When they saw many cultivators surrounding them, they immediately frowned.
Fang Buming, in particular, had an aura that was even more terrifying than that of the elders in the Spirit Wandering Realm. Although his realm seemed somewhat unstable, he was still a true powerhouse in the Spirit Wandering Realm.
"Fang Lingzi, it is said that Yang Zhen..."
Someone approached Fang Buming and immediately asked a question. Before they could finish, they felt a bone-chilling cold envelop them.
Everyone was startled, staring at Fang Buming with horrified Fang Buming, speechless with fear.
Fang Buming's aura was truly terrifying, and his killing intent was palpable. Clearly, the rumors circulating outside were untrue.
It is said that Fang Buming only managed to break through to the Spirit Wandering Realm by relying on the resources of the Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven. His realm was unstable, and even his divine soul was not firm. However, it seems that Fang Buming has gone through countless battles to achieve his current terrifying aura.
Upon seeing Fang Buming's expression, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but curse those who spread rumors. Who said Fang Buming's realm was unstable? This seemingly unstable aura was clearly an illusion caused by the excessive killing intent.
Fang Buming hearing the name Yang Zhen, Fang Buming's eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent. He coldly snorted, stared at the inquiring cultivator, and said in a deep voice, "He's nothing but a clown. He thinks he's the chosen one just because he has a bit of luck. Now that I, Fang Buming, am back, I'll make him obediently release Elder Dai and kneel at the entrance of the Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven to atone for his sins with his death!"
hiss!
Everyone was horrified by Fang Buming's terrifying aura, their expressions shifting repeatedly.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "I remember now! Fang Lingzi went to Evil Spirit Island outside the East Sea before the New Year!"
"What?" Most people gasped, instinctively taking a half-step back, staring at Fang Buming in horror.
Beyond the East Sea Evil Spirit Island, situated between the East Sea coast and various overseas regions. The island is vast and boundless, and most importantly, it possesses a mysterious and Evil Qi that subtly influences all living beings on the island. Over time, the creatures on the island become violent and bloodthirsty, and even some powerful cultivators dare not stay there for more than half a year.
It is said that those cultivators who did not believe in evil spirits wanted to find out where the Evil Qi on Evil Spirit Island came from. After arriving on Evil Spirit Island, they all turned into ferocious corpses that only knew how to kill, which was extremely terrifying.
Since then, even experts at the Spirit Wandering Realm who enter it only stay briefly, at most no more than half a year before leaving. For such a long time, no one has been able to figure out where the Evil Qi inside comes from.
The infamous name of Evil Spirit Island resounded throughout the entire East Sea coast; most people turned pale at the mere mention of Evil Spirit Island name.
No one expected that Fang Buming had gone to Evil Spirit Island a year ago. Could it be that Fang Buming actually stayed on Evil Spirit Island for a whole year without having his mind corrupted by the Evil Qi?
Everyone looked at Fang Buming with surprise and doubt, their faces showing a look of sudden realization.
No wonder Fang Buming exuded such terrifying killing intent, and he even had to restrain himself when he approached. Ever since he heard Yang Zhen's name, the killing Fang Buming had become frightening.
boom!
A violent surge of energy erupted from Fang Buming's body, his killing intent filling the sky. He was like a god of death as he charged towards White Cloud Mountain.
"Such a powerful aura! I've heard that Yang Zhen was able to capture five Spirit Wandering Realm experts only through despicable means. Now that Fang Buming is gone, I wonder who is stronger between him and Yang Zhen."
" Yang Zhen is, after all, only a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, and he hasn't experienced many battles in recent times, so his overall strength is naturally inferior to Fang Buming's."
"Huh? Why is the aura surging over there so terrifying? It must be a Spirit Wandering Realm expert."
"It's a powerful figure from Flower Mountain Blessed Land! My god, it's actually Elder Ghost! Why is he out here?"
Who is the " Elder Ghost "?
"You've never heard of Elder Ghost?" The man scoffed. " Elder Ghost an even more terrifying being than Fang Buming. He goes to Evil Spirit Island to cultivate whenever he has time, each time for more than half a year. Rumor has it that Elder Ghost's blood has turned dark green, and his entire body is covered in deadly poison!"
"What? Is that true? Is this legend real or not?"
"Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but look, even Fang Buming has gone to pay his respects to the Elder Ghost. We should hurry to White Cloud Mountain, otherwise, at our speed, by the time we get there, Yang Zhen will probably already be dead."
"Now, Flower Mountain Blessed Land and Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven are truly enraged by Yang Zhen. With Elder Ghost and Fang Buming around, Yang Zhen has absolutely no chance of survival."
"How could it be just the two of them? It's said that the people from Flower Mountain Blessed Land and Earth Spring Grotto-Heaven were enraged by Yang Zhen and vowed to intimidate the world. There are probably more than a dozen powerful beings who went to kill Yang Zhen this time."
"What? A dozen or so cultivators at the Spirit Wandering Realm?"
"I wonder if Yang Zhen will be terrified when he hears this news!"
"It's hard to say. Given his personality, he might just drive all those dozen or so cultivators in the Spirit Wandering Realm to their deaths!"
