Upon hearing Liang Lie's words, You Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Sect Master Liang, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare accept such a request. I've already made all the arrangements. As long as Yang Zhen dares to participate in the flying machine competition, he'll definitely experience the feeling of being isolated and helpless."
Liang Lie laughed heartily, patted You Yan on the shoulder, and said, "You've worked hard. Don't worry, after this matter, I, Liang, will certainly reward you handsomely."
You Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, " Sect Master Liang, I don't quite understand. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to deal with Yang Zhen? Wouldn't it be simpler to just find an opportunity to kill him?"
Liang Lie snorted coldly and explained, "Killing Yang Zhen is easy, but that would be too easy on him. Now I've almost become a laughing stock in North Isle. If I don't make Yang Zhen infamous and suffer endless humiliation, how can I save face?"
Seeing the grim and uncertain look on Liang Lie's face, You Yan's expression hardened, and he lowered his eyes, saying, " Mo North Abyss, I hope Sect Master Liang will offer his assistance."
Liang Lie chuckled and said, "Go. As long as Yang Zhen is dead, I will keep my promise and take you safely to the Mo North Abyss."
You Yan's expression brightened, and he cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Then Sect Master Liang!"
After speaking, You Yan took his leave.
Watching You Yan's departing figure, Liang Lie sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Ink Pool Peak, Yang Zhen was engrossed in tinkering with a metal arm when the Shameless Cat suddenly burst in, howling and yelling, "Damn it, kid, you've been tricked!"
"What's wrong?" Yang Zhen asked curiously, "Who's so bold? I'm usually the one who Sage of Saunter people, when did someone ever get the chance to Sage of Saunter me?"
The Shameless Cat recounted the rumors that had been circulating for the past few days, leaving Yang Zhen speechless. "You mean, someone secretly spread rumors on my behalf, saying that I, the Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter, will crush Megatron and sweep away all flying machines?"
"Yeah, right!" the Shameless Cat! How could he be so despicable and shameless? Oh my god, he's so damn shameless! He could even come up with such a despicable idea! He's utterly despicable!"
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the Shameless Cat, then suddenly flew into a rage. He stood up, threw the metal arm he was holding to the ground, and cursed, "Damn it, which bastard released this information?"
The Shameless Cat curled its lip. "Who else could it be? It must be that idiot Liang Lie. Not only that, he also increased the first-place reward, and guess what?"
At this point, the Shameless Cat continued with a look of disgust, "That's not even the worst part. Now, a ' Yang Zhen Dao Protector Team ' has appeared in North Isle, and it's already grown to over a thousand people. Damn it, can you believe how despicable these people are?"
Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this, muttering to himself, "Holy crap, what happened to the supporting characters being intellectually challenged? To come up with such a series of plot holes, he's practically a once-in-a-millennium genius!"
The Shameless Cat was stunned, then stared at Yang Zhen and said, "Kid, are you out of your mind? You're still praising that idiot Liang Lie as a talent at a time like this?"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, winking at the Sage of Saunter Shameless Cat: "What else could he be but a talent? This shrew was just wondering how to spread the word about Sage of Saunter participation in the flying machine competition, making it known to everyone in North Isle, and that idiot Liang Lie Sage of Saunter just that for me. Don't you think he's a talent?"
"What the heck?" The Shameless Cat was taken aback. "You want to make this a public spectacle in North Isle, why?"
Yang Zhen looked at the Shameless Cat with disdain and said, "What's the point of playing if everyone doesn't know? If we're going to play, let's play big. Otherwise, what do you think this Sage of Saunter was trying to achieve by spending so many brain cells to create this thing?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Shameless Cat's eyes lit up like two light bulbs, his pupils darting around, and he said with an expression of Celestial Person astonishment, "Oh my, kid, you're really cheeky. This will certainly create some excitement, but are you really confident you can sweep away all the flying machines?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip. "Even this Sage of Saunter is afraid of making them question their existence!"
The Shameless Cat was amused, then turned and walked away!
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked, "Stop! What are you doing?"
The Shameless Cat exclaimed excitedly, "What else could we do? Of course, we're going to pour oil on the ground! Everyone outside is so suspicious right now. Do you think if I went out and yelled, North Isle would become completely lively?"
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he kicked the Shameless Cat, saying, "Damn, just thinking about it gets me excited! Let's go, make the fire burn as brightly as possible, and ideally, let's just make that idiot Liang Lie die of anger. That way, we can show how Sage of Saunter of Flame' really is!"
"Kid, just you wait!" The Shameless Cat swaggered around.
Yang Zhen picked up the metal arm from the ground and said to the Shameless Cat's rear end, "You'd better keep a low profile. Going out like that will probably get you a beating!"
Upon hearing this, the Shameless Cat shuddered and immediately stopped shaking its rear end.
"Do you think Yang Zhen is really that arrogant?"
"How could that be? This must be a rumor. No matter how arrogant this cultivator named Yang Zhen is, he wouldn't dare offend so many people at once. If he really dared to say such a thing, wouldn't he be courting death?"
"Exactly! No one in the entire North Isle dares to say their aircraft can compare to Megatron. Who is Yang Zhen? To crush him? Impossible!"
In the teahouses of the town at the foot of Ink Pool Peak, people everywhere were talking about Yang Zhen. Just stand next to two or three people and you could hear the name Yang Zhen.
A group of people were discussing the matter animatedly. Among them was a short, shifty-eyed cultivator who, after glancing around to make sure no one was watching, suddenly spoke up, "Do you think there's more to this than meets the eye? Could someone be plotting against Yang Zhen?"
Everyone was startled upon hearing this.
There are no fools among those who can participate in the aircraft competition, so this whole thing sounds strange. As time went on, some clever people saw through the trickery.
The crowd looked around in surprise and disbelief, whispering, "We can't say things like that carelessly, lest someone overhears us and we offend someone!"
The group nodded hurriedly, when suddenly a strange voice rang out.
"What's there to hide? That idiot Liang Lie dares to play tricks on that Shameless Yang? It's a joke..."
Upon hearing this voice, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they fell silent, hurriedly looking in the direction of the sound, only to be startled.
"You... Shameless Cat?"
The Shameless Cat, perched on the window, pouted and said, "Let me correct you, I am Qilin, not a cat, and my name is Shameless Cat, not Cheap Shameless Cat!"
"You're saying... Liang Lie intentionally leaked this information?" someone asked with surprise and disbelief, his face showing shock, clearly having heard about the feud between Liang Lie and Yang Zhen.
" Shameless Cat, you can't just say things like that. Do you have any evidence?" someone questioned the Shameless Cat.
The Shameless Cat chuckled wickedly, stood up arrogantly, and said with his hands on his hips, "Want evidence? No way. Does that Shameless Yang need evidence? What a joke! Go back and tell Liang Lie that he's hoping Yang Zhen will beat him up. Tell him to wash his ass and wait. That Shameless Yang said that he, Megatron, is nothing. Ri Chuantian, appear, his pile of trash won't even dare to fly, let alone Megatron!"
Wow!
Upon hearing what the Shameless Cat said, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
It's confirmed!
This is confirmed!
That Shameless Yang is indeed going to crush everything!
Dig up the grass!
Everyone got excited, eager to see Liang Lie's expression when he heard these words.
Rumble!
Countless people suddenly stood up from their seats, ignoring even the cost of tea, and leaped into the air, flying towards the Departing Star Sect on their swords.
