Rogue Person Lu You, was a bit bewildered!
That's not how the script was written. It's normal for everyone to pay special attention to Yang Zhen, such a genius who is extraordinary. But to be able to help such a genius recover from his injuries, stabilize his realm, and even repair his soul would definitely cause a sensation at the Immortal Sui Training Class.
Although the Immortal Sui Training Association didn't know Yang Zhen at all, and Yang Zhen couldn't possibly know the Immortal Sui Training Association, Yang Bailao spoke with great conviction. He even told him about Yang Zhen's process of shattering the Heaven and Earth Shackles with a single sword strike and the injury to Yang Zhen's soul. This Yang Bailao was clearly someone who had entered the Forbidden Zone of Life and witnessed the whole process.
Under such circumstances, even if cultivators from all over the world cannot see Yang Zhen at the Immortal Sui Training Association, they will still firmly believe that Yang Zhen is indeed resting and recuperating in the training class.
In fact, all the suggestions Yang Bailao gave him so far have come true. As soon as the news of Yang Zhen's training at the Immortal Sui Training Association was released, many cultivators believed it, but... they believed it a little too much.
Looking at the vast, dark mass of cultivators atop Flower Countenance Mountain, too many to count, Rogue Person Lu You broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn it, are all these people so free? What are they doing traveling all this way to Flower Countenance Mountain? Are they all here to see Yang Zhen?
Rogue Person Lu You was not stupid; in fact, he was quite clever. He realized almost instantly that something was amiss.
Even though Yang Zhen has broken the Heaven and Earth Shackles, this is still a great thing. Anyone with some cultivation level could sense that the primordial energy between heaven and earth has suddenly surged.
Under such circumstances, Yang Zhen could be said to have not only not betrayed the common people, but had done a great deed.
But these people look like they're there to interrogate me. What are they trying to do?
Even those who were initially hesitant but wanted to join the Immortal Sui Training Association were scared away.
Rogue Person Lu You, stared at the growing number of cultivators with a gloomy expression, and began to feel like cursing.
During the time that Yang Zhen has been busy at Flower Countenance Mountain, something major must have happened, something that has made him the target of everyone's criticism.
Only under such circumstances can we explain why so many Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts came knocking on our door, specifically demanding that we destroy the training class and hand over Yang Zhen.
All our efforts were in vain!
Rogue Person Lu You's face was gloomy and uncertain. He cursed Yang Zhen inside and out in his heart. If it weren't for Yang Zhen causing trouble again, his and Yang Bailao's plan would probably have already succeeded.
If the plan goes smoothly, probably half of the cultivators covering the mountains and plains are here to give him crystals.
"That bastard Yang Zhen!"
Rogue Person Lu You, cursed Yang Zhen through gritted teeth, then quickly put on a smiling face, laughed heartily, and walked out.
"I am honored by the presence of all of you fellow Daoists. May I ask which of you would like to inquire about..."
"Consulting my ass! Rogue Person Lu You, we're not here to discuss your bullshit training session. Hand over Yang Zhen right now!"
Rogue Person Lu You's face darkened, and he stared at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert who had spoken, asking, "May I ask this fellow Daoist's esteemed name, and why are you so angry?"
Under normal circumstances, even if another expert in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm dared to speak to him like that, Rogue Person Lu You would have already cursed and charged at them with his fists.
However, Rogue Person Lu You was hesitant now. There were several other Tribulation Transcendence Realm Tribulation Transcendence Realm around that expert. If a fight broke out, Rogue Person Lu You would have difficulty even escaping.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please don't be offended. This is Jiang Zuolei, the head of the Northern Azure Gate. He is straightforward by nature and has always been like this!"
Beside Jiang Zuolei, a short, stout old man said with a smile.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Rogue Person Lu You's face as he stared at the short, stout old man and said, " Old Ghost Bai, you don't need to pretend. Although Yang Zhen is recuperating at my Immortal Sui Training Association, let's not even talk about whether he's actually here or not. Even if he were, some random Tom, Dick, or Harry could just abandon me and hand me over. Where would that leave my face?"
"You!" Jiang Zuolei's face was filled with rage as he glared at Rogue Person Lu You and roared, " Lu You, you probably don't even know what you've done! Yang Zhen betrayed the common people and broke the Heaven and Earth Shackles. Now that the world is in turmoil, how can you still cover up for such a heinous person? Do you also harbor evil intentions?"
Rogue Person Lu You, turned cold and was about to speak.
An old woman beside Jiang Zuolei said in a sinister tone, " Rogue Person Lu You, we have a fairly good relationship, but what you did in this matter is rather absurd. Yang Zhen is a ruthless brat. After breaking the Heaven and Earth Shackles, thousands of cultivators died because of him. Shouldn't he come out and give an explanation for this?"
"What Senior Yue Yufeng said is true. I am also someone who has entered the Forbidden Zone of Life. The Saint-level Divine Soul Senior clearly stated that after the Heaven and Earth Shackles are broken, the entire North Isle will fall into an abyss of no return. The current revival of vital energy is probably just a facade. The collapse of the Forbidden Zone of Life is proof of that. Thousands of the Spirit Wandering Realm cultivators were sucked into the spatial turbulence. Their screams still echo in my ears. Shouldn't Yang Zhen pay some price for his actions?"
A crowd chimed in, criticizing Yang Zhen for all sorts of wrongdoings, Rogue Person Lu You completely bewildered.
"Yang... Yang Zhen really isn't here with me!" Rogue Person Lu You's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. He suddenly realized that what he knew about Yang Zhen was only Yang Bailao's side of the story, and he had only met Yang Bailao once so far.
Is such a one-sided, individual opinion more truthful than the power of collective opinion?
Rogue Person Lu You, clearly looked somewhat flustered.
Jiang Zuolei snorted coldly, stepped forward, stared at Rogue Person Lu You, and asked, "Is Yang Zhen really not here with you?"
Rogue Person Lu You snorted coldly, glanced sideways at Jiang Zuolei, and said, "Old Jiang, even if I disregard you a thousand times over, do you think I don't respect all the fellow practitioners here? Yang Zhen is not here, that's all. Believe it or not!"
"You..." Jiang Zuolei was furious, staring at Rogue Person Lu You, looking like he was about to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
A dark look flashed across Yue Yufeng's face. She turned to look at Mo Xuefeng and his group, and said with a forced smile, "So, Yang Zhen might really not be here!"
As she spoke, Yue Yufeng cleared her throat and said loudly, "I heard that when the Forbidden Zone of Life collapsed, someone heard Mo Xueling, the successor of Ink Pool Peak, shout 'Ink Pool Peak' before she and that brat Yang Zhen were separated. May I ask, Spirit Maiden Mo, did you make an appointment with that brat Yang Zhen to meet at Ink Pool Peak? And now... is Yang Zhen at Ink Pool Peak?"
Upon hearing Yue Yufeng's words, everyone present turned their gaze to Mo Xueling, their expressions becoming surprised and uncertain.
Many people even stared at Hua Youyue, who looked serene beside Mo Xueling, with ill intent, their expressions turning gloomy.
Mo Xueling's expression changed, and her sapphire blue eyes narrowed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a handsome middle-aged man beside her smiled and said to Yue Yufeng, "Senior Yue, everything requires evidence. What evidence do you have to prove that Yang Zhen is currently on my Ink Pool Peak?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Yufeng burst into laughter, staring at the handsome middle-aged man and saying, "Does anyone actually admit to protecting Yang Zhen?"
"You!" The handsome middle-aged man's expression turned cold, and he hesitated before speaking.
Mo Xueling suddenly scoffed, "Senior Yue, do you think we would still be here if Yang Zhen were already at Ink Pool Peak?"
"That's hard to say!" Yue Yufeng sneered repeatedly, saying, "Who knows what you're really here for? In my opinion, if Ink Pool Peak wants to clear his name, he should hand over Hua Youyue. Then, we won't have to worry about Yang Zhen not showing up!"
"That old devil..." Mo Xueling.
" Ling'er!" the handsome middle-aged man called out in a low voice.
Hua Youyue's expression remained calm throughout. After hearing Yue Yufeng's words, her eyelashes trembled slightly. She took two steps forward, about to speak, when a clear voice came from behind the crowd.
"What exactly do you seniors want from Yang Zhen?"
Upon hearing this, most people exclaimed in surprise.
"Who? Who's there?"
" Dao Fanatic... Han Yan'er!"
"What? This little girl is actually that Dao Fanatic?"
