"They can't get in?"
Upon realizing this possibility, the Shameless Cat's face immediately revealed a gloating expression, and he even winked at Lu Tianwei.
Even with Lu Tianwei's calm and collected nature, being targeted by Yang Zhen time and time again—no, this time being mocked by that Shameless Cat —had already enraged him.
However, Lu Tianwei dared not clash with Yang Zhen now. If he angered Yang Zhen really left, Lu Tianwei would become a sinner. Not to mention Yang Zhen, those old guys like Elder Qian and Sha Clan Elder would probably be the first to tear him apart.
Seeing that the Shameless Cat was still blinking mischievously, Lu Tianwei simply snorted coldly, pretended not to see it, and followed Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat with his head down.
The Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits smiled, said nothing, and quietly followed Yang Zhen.
Elder Qian asked her to follow Yang Zhen, partly to see what Yang Zhen was going to do, and partly, according to the understanding of Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits, to protect Yang Zhen.
Even if Elder Qian hadn't said anything, Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits was already planning to follow. Under these circumstances, apart from Lu Tianwei, who had ulterior motives, no one present wanted anything to happen to Yang Zhen, not even a scratch.
If they couldn't get out, the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
Lu Tianwei was well aware of Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits's thoughts, but he actually had no intention of clashing with Yang Zhen, at least not now.
Before long, Yang Zhen arrived at a valley.
The valley's edge was lined with cliffs, and these cliffs were inscribed with all sorts of array symbols. Clearly, this place was of vital importance to the Undying Clan. However, after so many years, those array symbols seemed to have fallen silent and no longer served any purpose.
Lu Tianwei and the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits were no ordinary people; they immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this valley. They exchanged a glance, both seeing amazement in each other's eyes.
This Yang Zhen's first time in this place, Lu Tianwei knew this clearly, and the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits was even more certain.
Even so, Yang Zhen didn't take any wrong turns and came straight to this place, as if he already knew that this was such a valley.
The two looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty until Yang Zhen reached the edge of the valley and craned his neck to look down, finally confirming that Yang Zhen really did know about this place.
Lu Tianwei walked up to Yang Zhen with a grim expression and asked in a deep voice, " Yang Zhen, what's in here?"
Yang Zhen glanced back at Lu Tianwei and the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits, and asked with a half-smile, "Want to know?"
"Hmph!" Lu Tianwei snorted coldly, without answering.
"Oh my, you're quite arrogant!" Yang Zhen said with a half-smile, "If you want to know, just come along and see for yourself. As long as you can keep up, I'll answer whatever you want to ask."
"You said it!" A hint of joy flashed in Lu Tianwei's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhen leaped up and, like a large bird, soared into the valley.
Lu Tianwei was taken aback and hurriedly went to the side of the valley. He saw Yang Zhen gather his qi and leap, jumping and tapping on several cliffs. Before long, he entered a cave suspended in mid-air. He immediately revealed a contemptuous smile.
" Yang Zhen, your mistake was underestimating me Lu Tianwei."
After saying that, Lu Tianwei snorted coldly, leaped up, and imitating Yang Zhen, opened his arms and jumped into the valley with a whoosh.
The Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits exclaimed in surprise, her eyes flashing with astonishment, and hurriedly moved closer to the side of the valley to look down.
Lu Tianwei's movements were very cool, even cooler than Yang Zhen's. He stretched his arms out to his sides, bent one leg, and raised it to his chest, striking a pose of standing on one leg in the air.
"Wow, that's incredibly cool!" Yang Zhen stared in disbelief at the cave entrance, his face filled with Celestial Person.
"Aaaaaaahh...
The next moment, a series of screams rang out. Lu Tianwei plummeted down the cliff face of the valley with a whoosh. After digging around in mid-air for a while, he finally found a protruding piece of land and hurriedly scrambled up. Standing there, he glared at Yang Zhen and roared, " Yang Zhen, what have you done?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "What have you done? What has your whole family done? You don't know anything, you just pretend to know, jumping around like a chicken. What does this have to do with me Sage of Saunter?"
"Pretending to know what you don't?" Lu Tianwei looked completely bewildered and asked blankly, "Know what?"
"Damn!" The Shameless Cat looked at Lu Tianwei with admiration. "This guy Niu Bi! He doesn't know anything, yet he just jumped down like that. You are truly a brave man!"
"What are you talking about?" Lu Tianwei's face turned pale with anger. He couldn't even fly in the valley!
Let alone flying, he couldn't even muster a bit of True Essence. If it weren't for Lu Tianwei's strong ability to dog-paddle in mid-air, he would have fallen into the valley and died.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. If you don't understand, that's fine!"
Yang Zhen and Shameless Cat said in unison, exchanged a glance, and both showed expressions of Celestial Person. They even spoke in the same tone.
The Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits was both shocked and amused on the valley floor.
Yang Zhen's ability to deceive people was unparalleled in her life. From the beginning, she felt that there must be some mystery in this place, but like Lu Tianwei, even she did not notice anything unusual when Yang Zhen went down.
Not to mention Lu Tianwei, even the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits felt that Yang Zhen's descent was a bit too easy.
But then a thought struck the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits: if this place were the Undying Clan's treasure vault or some kind of secret repository, how could it be so easy to enter?
Seeing that Lu Tianwei had indeed almost fallen to his death, the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits became even more certain of her thoughts. Just as she was about to ask Yang Zhen, she saw Yang Zhen walk in with the Shameless Cat and disappear.
It was as if they didn't even see her.
The Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits parted her lips slightly, staring blankly as Yang Zhen disappeared from sight. For some reason, her State of Mind, which had been as calm as still water for so many years, suddenly stirred with... anger!
She stomped her foot in anger, the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits stamping her foot in fury. For the first time in her life, she gritted her teeth and stared at the dark cave entrance, saying through gritted teeth, "That bastard!"
"Um... you're the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits, right? Lu Tianwei 'd be incredibly grateful if you could find a way to rescue me!"
Hearing Lu Tianwei's almost fawning voice coming from below the valley, the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits gave a light snort and said calmly, "Climb up yourself!"
After saying this, Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits turned and left.
A scoundrel like Yang Zhen doesn't need anyone to protect him. Anyone who tries to harm him is simply asking for trouble.
Lu Tianwei stared blankly at the empty cliff for a long time, unable to figure out where he had offended this Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits whom he had never met before.
No, I definitely haven't offended anyone.
"Grass!"
Lu Tianwei slumped onto the protruding rock, glanced up, and said, "This... who can climb up here? Yang Zhen Lu Tianwei, you'd better not fall into my hands, or I'll make you pay double for it, you... bastard!"
"Achoo!" Yang Zhen looked at the dazzling array of treasures before him, rubbed his nose which suddenly felt a little sore, and muttered to himself, "Damn it, Shameless Cat, we're rich again."
"Yeah, we've struck it rich again!" The Shameless Cat also looked dazed, then suddenly paused, "Huh, why did you use 'again'?"
