boom--!
A deafening roar rang out, startling everyone.
A violent shockwave swept across the entire area, and towering flames burned away a large portion of the countless Death Zhi. The surging energy created fierce winds in all directions, sending sand and stones flying everywhere.
Everyone stared in astonishment and disbelief at the direction from which the loud noise came. The moment a Mahayana Realm stage expert made a move, the entire surrounding area trembled.
Where is Yang Zhen?
Suddenly someone exclaimed, causing a huge uproar.
Everyone was searching for Yang Zhen's whereabouts. Lu Qiju with rage, made his move, clearly enraged and determined to kill Yang Zhen in one fell swoop.
As Yang Zhen's figure disappeared amidst the endless waves of air, everyone was horrified.
"Oh no! That old bastard Lu Qiju actually killed Yang Zhen! Doesn't that mean that among all the cultivators present, only that old bastard Lu Qiju knows the method of absorbing Power of the Void?"
"That old scoundrel is truly wicked. He keeps claiming to be thinking of us, but it turns out he just wants to deceive Yang Zhen."
"What 'seekers get a share'? Bah! That old bastard Lu Qiju... Wait, Yang Zhen isn't dead?"
"What? He's not dead?"
As the dust settled, Yang Zhen, hiding behind Elder Qian and Old Ghost Qi, cautiously peeked out. He glanced at Lu Qiju, whose face was ashen, and before Lu Qiju speak, he suddenly exclaimed:
"Damn it, you scared this Sage of Saunter to death, Lu Qiju! You old Sage of Saunter will get your retribution! I thought I would have your protection, but you were the first to try to kill Sage of Saunter. Luckily, Elder Qian and Sage of Saunter Elder Qi were righteous, otherwise I would be dead, and you would have succeeded!"
Lu Qiju's face was contorted with rage. He glared at Yang Zhen, snorted coldly, and then turned to Old Ghost Qi, roaring, " Old Ghost Qi, are you an idiot? You actually believe such an obvious frame-up?"
Old Ghost Qi withdrew his hand, chuckled, turned and glared at Yang Zhen, saying, "Brother Lu, don't be so angry. As long as you tell me the method for absorbing the Power of the Void, Yang Zhen ordered me to get it for you. But you can't tell me, so I need to find out from Yang Zhen himself. You should understand that even if it's obviously fake, I can't let you kill Yang Zhen. I dare not gamble!"
"What?"
Lu Qiju's expression changed, and he stared at Old Ghost Qi with a gloomy expression, saying, " Old Ghost Qi, are you going to tear off the mask of civility with me today?"
Old Ghost Qi laughed heartily, staring at Lu Qiju and saying, "So what if we tear off the mask of civility?"
"You!"
Lu Qiju ashen, then he snorted coldly and said, "Since you don't trust me, why don't we arrest Yang Zhen and make him reveal the method for absorbing the Power of the Void in public!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present tensed up and looked at Lu Qiju with suspicion and uncertainty.
"Could it be that Yang Zhen, that bastard, really didn't tell Lu Qiju the method for absorbing the Power of the Void?"
"They probably didn't tell him. If they did, why would Lu Qiju say that?"
"This... could it be that Yang Zhen has deceived Senior Lu?"
"No, he fooled everyone!"
"Damn it, Yang Zhen is a complete fraud; you can't believe a word he says."
"I almost fell for his trick! That bastard has scammed countless people!"
A group of people turned against him, pointing at Yang Zhen and cursing him.
Seeing the situation turn around in an instant, Yang Zhen's face flashed with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
Damn it, this isn't how the script goes! In novels, biographies, movies, and TV series, the protagonists use this method to kill countless villains. Why doesn't it work here?
So this seemingly sophisticated and high-level method can actually be broken so easily?
Wow!
Am I, this Sage of Saunter, not the main character?
Yang Zhen was almost questioning his existence. Looking at the furious, blood-curdling Old Ghost Lu and Old Ghost Qi, who were glaring at him as if they wanted to eat him alive, Yang Zhen looked anxiously towards Elder Qian.
Elder Qian's face was also ashen, but he was now facing two Mahayana Realm experts and was willing but unable to do so.
Seeing the look Yang Zhen gave him, Elder Qian sighed, indicating that he was powerless to help.
The others burst into laughter. Seeing Yang Zhen's expression and then looking at Elder Qian's gaze, it was clear that even if Elder Qian wanted to protect Yang Zhen, he was now powerless to do so.
Lu Qiju grim and menacing, approached Yang Zhen, staring into Yang Zhen's eyes and saying, "Boy, no matter how eloquent you are or how many tricks you have, you are utterly vulnerable in the face of true power. You think you can turn two Mahayana Realm experts into enemies with a simple trick? You are seriously underestimating Mahayana Realm experts!"
Old Ghost Qi, standing nearby, glanced at Lu Qiju hesitantly, clearly still harboring some doubts. He then turned to Lu Qiju and said, "Brother Lu, leave Yang Zhen to me. You just need to hold off Old Ghost Qian. Once I've captured Yang Zhen, we can interrogate him together!"
Lu Qiju aback, stared intently at Old Ghost Qi, and snorted coldly.
With this arrangement, Lu Qiju could easily see that Old Ghost Qi didn't fully trust him yet and was afraid that he would kill Yang Zhen with a slap.
But this is for the best. Since Old Ghost Qi didn't obtain the method, he certainly wouldn't kill Yang Zhen.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiju was stunned. "Huh, damn it," he thought, "it's like he's received a magic formula. Actually, let alone a magic formula, he hadn't even clearly heard what Yang Zhen was saying just now—something about 'standing alone, colluding with each other, walking alone, receiving enlightenment, and continuing the family line as a guiding principle.'"
I've never even heard of it, let alone understood it. Could this thing really be a method for absorbing the Power of the Void?
Lu Qiju shook his head, banishing the rambling phrase from his mind, glared at Yang Zhen, and said to Old Ghost Qi, "That's fine too!"
Old Ghost Qi sneered repeatedly, turned to face Yang Zhen, and said with a smile, " Yang Zhen, actually, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't want to attack you. After all, everyone needs to conserve their True Essence to deal with the Death Zhi and the Sealed Land. You understand the current situation. Even if you have great abilities, don't think you can get away with it. So, tell me frankly?"
Everyone was shocked to hear Old Ghost Qi's words. Some of the more State of Mind people cursed loudly, "This Old Ghost Qi is really greedy! He finally got a chance, why doesn't he just arrest Yang Zhen and interrogate him? Why does he have to save his True Essence? Does he want Yang Zhen to tell him himself?"
Others might say it themselves, but is it possible for Yang Zhen to say it?
Old Ghost Qi clearly hadn't grasped how deep Yang Zhen's schemes were. Damn it, as they cursed, the group suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just then, Yang Zhen Yang Zhen made a move, and everyone's hearts skipped a beat as they hurriedly looked at him.
Yang Zhen slowly stepped out from behind Elder Qian, sighed, and said, "Alright, things have come to this, and this Sage of Saunter has nothing more to say. I can only reveal the method. But before that, please allow this Sage of Saunter to begin my... no, please allow this Sage of Saunter to demonstrate another method that I comprehended while absorbing the Power of the Void."
"What?" The three Mahayana Realm experts were all stunned, looking at Yang Zhen with surprise and uncertainty.
Lu Qiju, in particular, was utterly shocked and exclaimed, "You've comprehended another method? What kind of method is it?"
Old Ghost Qi was also shocked, muttering to himself, "Just how high is Yang Zhen's talent?"
