Seeing Young Master Feng walk towards Yang Zhen, everyone in the group revealed amused expressions, especially the chubby Huang Mao, whose beady eyes began to shine.
Everyone stared at the expression on Yang Zhen's face. In everyone's eyes, Yang Zhen was just a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm. He might have some talent, but that talent was nothing compared to what was presented to everyone present.
Yang Zhen's arrival immediately offended Spirit Maiden Hongluan. Although he shamelessly managed to get away with it, he actually made the usually stern Spirit Maiden Hongluan blush. What was even more astonishing was that Spirit Maiden Hongluan actually laughed out loud because of the conversation between him and that shameless Shameless Cat.
This... this was something no one dared to even imagine before. In addition, Young Master Feng had always been deeply in love with the Spirit Maiden Hongluan, and everyone knew that Young Master Feng was pursuing the Spirit Maiden Hongluan and wanted to become an enviable dao companion with her.
Now that Yang Zhen has acted so recklessly, how could Young Master Feng not be furious?
In fact, the fact that Young Master Feng did not show any anger at this moment had already surprised everyone. Now that Young Master Feng was walking towards Yang Zhen, everyone could see that Young Master Feng was going to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.
On the other side, the Shameless Cat said to Yang Zhen with a gloating look, "Kid, you'd better pray for yourself. This kid actually has both yin and yang auras on him, and the yin aura is extremely strong. He's clearly not someone to mess with!"
Yang Zhen glared at him and said, "Damn it, isn't all this trouble caused by you, you bastard? Would it kill you to keep a low profile when you first arrive?"
The Shameless Cat stared in disbelief, then angrily retorted, "Is it my fault? Who told you to touch that little girl's shoulder without even asking what happened?"
"Damn it!" Yang Zhen roared, pointing at the Shameless Cat, "Explain yourself! Was that touching? At most, it was just patting!"
"Then why did you rub against them with your sleeve?" The Shameless Cat pouted, its gloating expression deepening.
Yang Zhen opened his mouth, but it was just a subconscious action. He stuck out his neck and said, "That's politeness. Don't you understand politeness? You Shameless Cat, do you even know what propriety, righteousness, and shame are? Bah, shameless!"
"Kid, who are you calling shameless? When it comes to shamelessness, who can compare to you?"
Everyone was stunned, staring in disbelief as the man and the cat began hurling insults at each other, neither willing to back down.
Young Master Feng never expected that someone would ignore him like this. His handsome face turned ashen and contorted into a ferocious expression.
"It's over! Even if Young Master Feng has the best temper, he's now furious!"
"Who exactly is this person? How dare he blatantly disregard Young Master Feng? Isn't he afraid of death?"
"That's not necessarily true. Did you notice the person and the cat exchanging glances frequently? It's clearly more than just... what?"
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Yang Zhen suddenly pointed at the Shameless Cat and shouted, "Damn it, I've had my eye on you for ages! If you've got the guts, fight me for three hundred rounds!"
The Shameless Cat jumped up with a "Ha!" and said, "You think I'm afraid of you?"
After saying that, the man and the cat really rushed off into the distance, exchanging blows from time to time, like children fighting and sulking. They slapped each other and kicked each other, and the two were fighting fiercely, getting further and further away. In the blink of an eye, they had run halfway up the mountain.
Young Master Feng stared blankly as the two figures receded into the distance, his anger nearly causing him internal injury.
The person and the cat not only ignored his presence, but also didn't bother to say a word to him. Everyone was petrified, staring blankly at everything that was happening before their eyes.
As Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat fought, they ran behind a boulder, and the sounds grew even louder—heart-wrenching screams, as if they had ripped each other's guts out.
"Damn it, you despicable brat, you actually attacked my tail!"
"What makes you so much better, you bastard? You even resorted to such despicable tricks as stealing peaches like a monkey?"
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. Behind the boulder, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat sat close together, occasionally stretching their necks to curse, their cries heart-wrenching, before falling silent after a moment.
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of disdain. "Damn it, these bastards are smarter than monkeys when they get their hands on something. Why is it that only that idiot is like a fool, rushing over to show his lack of common sense after being teased a couple of times?"
The Shameless Cat chuckled maliciously and said, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? But I must say, that kid is actually quite something. With your current strength, you might not be able to defeat him!"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "This kind of Sage of Saunter fight is not for me. Not only is there no benefit to winning or losing, but I'll also be made a fool of. I really don't know how this guy cultivated to this level."
"You're not admitting defeat, are you?" the Shameless Cat said, pursing its lips.
Yang Zhen slapped the Shameless Cat on the head and scolded, "Don't you think it's strange that these people are stopping here? Before you figure out what that black pillar is and how to get into the Heavenly Mandate Road, you better give this Sage of Saunter a break."
"Now that you mention it, I also feel that this is somewhat inappropriate. What are these people waiting for here?"
"There must be a change in this so-called Heaven-Chosen Road!"
"You're just so shameless!"
Same here!
Heavenly Mandate Road, after everyone could no longer hear Yang Zhen and the raucous howls of the Shameless Cat, they all craned their necks to see if the Shameless Cat and Yang Zhen were dead.
Young Master Feng stood there awkwardly, looking bewildered, unsure of what to do.
This situation was something Young Master Feng had never expected. He was neither angry nor amused. He hated Yang Zhen to the extreme. His expression was uncertain. He couldn't stand still and continue walking, but going back was even more inappropriate. So he simply chuckled and walked towards Bai Xuan and the others.
Before they even reached Bai Xuan and the others, a sinister laugh came from all directions.
"Are you all waiting for me, Lin, to enter the Spirit Road?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man dressed in black robes descended from mid-air. His loud laughter caused the surrounding air to become scorching hot, and a storm swept through the area, drawing the attention of hundreds of people who all showed expressions of astonishment.
This person wore a hood, his body was engulfed in eerie black flames, and his expression was sinister. In particular, his eyes were golden pupils that resembled those of a venomous snake.
After landing, the man looked around, exclaimed "Eh?", and said, "Why does Young Master Feng look so unwell? Does he dislike my arrival at this time?"
Everyone gasped; no one had expected that this young man surnamed Lin would target Young Master Feng the moment he arrived.
Before Young Master Feng could speak, the young man surnamed Lin sneered and said, "Twelve people. All those who have a chance to reach the Supreme Mandate of Heaven are here, yet no one dares to be the first to step in. It's truly laughable."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped and looked at the young man in astonishment.
All twelve people showed expressions of anger, their auras subtly fluctuating, clearly indicating their dissatisfaction, yet they also seemed quite wary of the young man surnamed Lin, and did not rashly accuse him.
Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat furtively peeked out, exchanged a glance, and Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement. Turning to the Shameless Cat, he said, "See that? This is the epitome of courting death. Good heavens, even more arrogant than this 'Sage of Saunter.' I'm impressed."
The Shameless Cat nodded meaningfully and said seriously, "However, his attempt at showing off was a bit low-level."
Huh?
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then patted the Shameless Cat on the shoulder and said, "You've improved, haven't you? You noticed that?"
"Didn't you always say that the most lethal kind of showing off is the subtle kind? This guy is clearly much worse, far inferior to you."
At this moment, the young man's voice came again. "Since that's the case, then let me, Lin, be the first one!"
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up as he watched the young man surnamed Lin walk towards the black Heavenly Mandate Road. Suddenly, he heard Young Master Feng sneer, " Lin Tianli, you're wrong. The first person isn't you, but the Spirit Maiden Hua who almost killed you back then. She... has arrived!"
"What?"
Yang Zhen and Lin Tianli exclaimed in unison.
Lin Tianli?
"Damn it, you whoever you are, stop Sage of Saunter!" Yang Zhen cursed and leaped out from behind the rock.
Lin Tianli staggered, his entire body being sucked into the black Heavenly Mandate Road. He turned back and gave Yang Zhen a sinister look.
As Lin Tianli was being sucked in, the black pillar of light suddenly erupted with a terrifying surge of True Essence. Yang Zhen cursed and gave Lin Tianli a giant middle finger that every species would instantly understand.
The sudden scene left thousands of people around them dumbfounded, staring in shock at the 'low-key' Yang Zhen, completely bewildered.
