"Kid, have you offended anyone in Mountain and River City?" the Shameless Cat asked with a gloating look.
Before even entering the city, they were already being targeted, and specifically named. Yang Zhen was completely bewildered; how could he possibly answer the Shameless Cat's question?
"Damn it, this Sage of Saunter has offended too many people. Look, I've offended another gatekeeper. Who knows if I've offended anyone in Mountain and River City?"
Yang Zhen said with a smirk, while a series of alpacas seemed to be running through his mind.
"Someone has broken into the city!"
The news spread like wildfire throughout the land, and before long, almost everyone came to the streets from all sorts of places, craning their necks to look at the city gate tower.
Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat swaggered down the street, occasionally popping into a shop to take a look, but mostly leaving disappointed.
Before long, a group of fully armed cultivators blocked Yang Zhen's path, their eyes fixed on him menacingly, each poised to strike.
The surrounding crowd was taken aback, staring in disbelief at the city guards who exuded a terrifying aura, their eyes flashing with fear.
"It's the Dragon City Guard! It's actually the Dragon City Guard! I didn't expect even the Dragon City Guard to be mobilized. Who exactly is this person, that he has caused such a commotion?"
"Him? You don't even know him? It's said his name Yang Zhen. A few days ago, for some reason, he suddenly ended up on Mountain and River City's most unwelcome list. Now he actually dares to force his way in. With the Dragon City Guard involved, he's practically doomed."
"The most unpopular list?"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as they stared at Yang Zhen in shock, whispering amongst themselves, "The list of the most unpopular figures in Mountain and River City hasn't been updated in a long time, has it? Just who is this Yang Zhen that he's being targeted by the entire Mountain and River City?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of the name Yang Zhen in Mountain and River City before."
" Yang Zhen?"
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, looking horrified, "I remember now, Yang Zhen! He's Yang Zhen, the guy who lured Miss Feng into the depths of the Mountain and River Ruins!"
"What? It's him? This bastard still has the nerve to come to Mountain and River City?"
Everyone glared at Yang Zhen, completely bewildered, and said to the Shameless Cat, "Does my face say 'Old Wang'?"
"No, who is Old Wang?" The Shameless Cat looked around in confusion, and became even more confused upon hearing this.
Yang Zhen waved his hand. Since the name "Old Wang" wasn't written on it, what were these people doing, whispering and looking like they'd just had their wives taken advantage of?
"This gentleman..."
"Snort!"
"Damn, this guy's pretty arrogant!"
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the young cultivator who had ignored him, then turned his gaze back to the Dragon City Guard and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, is there anyone in charge?"
"Kill without mercy!"
boom!
A deafening roar erupted as hundreds of Dragon City Guard at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm simultaneously unleashed terrifying fluctuations of True Essence, instantly creating a chilling and overwhelming aura.
Yang Zhen gasped and muttered to himself, "I knew I was right, these people definitely possess a combined attack technique that allows them to link their auras together."
What annoyed Yang Zhen was that these people acted indiscriminately, as if the person Yang Zhen had stolen his hen.
Seeing the terrifying shockwaves erupting from the hundreds of Dragon City Guard, so powerful that they blotted out the sky and made it hard for Yang Zhen to breathe, Yang Zhen felt a surge of anger and glared at the group, saying:
"Damn it, you really think this Sage of Saunter is easy to bully? I'll give you three breaths. If none of you can understand human speech come out by now, you'll all die here in a daze!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
boom!
Suddenly, a monstrous wave erupted from Yang Zhen's body, causing the bluestone slabs beneath his feet to crack inch by inch, surging wildly in all directions from Yang Zhen's center.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw that Yang Zhen actually dared to make a move.
"He's gone mad! Yang Zhen is indeed someone who dared to deceive even Miss Feng Household; he actually dared to make a move."
" Yang Zhen is doomed this time. I never expected that Miss Feng would go to the Mountain and River Ruins and never come back, while that bastard Yang Zhen actually came out alive."
"It's terrifying! The terrifying aura emanating from the direction of the Mountain and River Ruins is simply earth-shattering. I heard that everyone inside is dead. I never expected that Yang Zhen would actually come to Mountain and River City."
"So what if he came to Mountain and River City? This bastard came alone. Where is Miss? That damned bastard Yang Zhen! Miss Feng, such a kind-hearted person, was actually deceived by him and died in the Mountain and River Ruins!"
The streets of Mountain and River City were incredibly wide. Yang Zhen couldn't hear the surrounding discussions, but his aura grew stronger and stronger, and for a moment, everyone fell silent.
The Dragon City Guard were clearly on high alert, all staring intently at Yang Zhen, ready to pounce.
"Three breaths have passed. Don't say I, the Sage of Saunter, didn't give you a chance; it's your own fault for not seizing it!"
Yang Zhen walked step by step toward the Dragon City Guard. The heavy bluestone slabs under his feet shattered into countless pieces. Yang Zhen, alone with his cat, carried waves of True Essence like a storm, as if he were in an empty place.
The Dragon City Guard instinctively retreated. Hundreds of cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm were utterly powerless against the terrifying aura Yang Zhen was unleashing.
That's terrifying.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to charge in and deal with these people, a furious shout rang out, "Stop!"
Upon hearing this name, everyone present was startled, but the Dragon City Guard all took a deep breath and perked up, as if Yang Zhen's strength would suddenly drop by 90% under this roar.
A figure descended from the sky, dressed in flowing white robes with black hair flying in the wind. He exuded an air of otherworldly elegance and possessed the demeanor of a great master. Even the way he landed was almost perfect.
Immaculate, spotless, the young man before them wore a calm and collected expression. Amidst the eager anticipation of everyone, he stared at Yang Zhen and said again, "Stop!"
"Stop your sister's hand!"
Yang Zhen flew into a rage and charged at the spotless young cultivator with a thunderous roar, like a raging bull.
"You say stop, and you just stop? Don't you even take a piss and look at your own behavior?"
Yang Zhen was truly frustrated. Everything had been inexplicable along the way, and now that he had finally found someone to talk to, he decided to fight first and think later.
The young cultivator was clearly not expected that Yang Zhen would attack him so suddenly. However, he was not afraid of Yang Zhen. Instead, he snorted coldly, flung his robes open, and unleashed a monstrous burst of energy.
" Mahayana Realm?"
Yang Zhen was stunned. He hadn't expected that there would be such young Mahayana Realm in a Mountain and River City. What kind of monsters were these? Did they use cheat codes or pay money to become experts?
A hint of disdain flashed in the young cultivator's eyes. He gestured towards Yang Zhen and said, "A mere Tribulation Transcendence Realm stage cultivator dares to be so insolent? Does he really think he's someone great? But don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. How can I face my sister, whom you killed, if I don't make her taste the bitterest of human suffering..."
Bang!
A huge fist landed on the young cultivator's face, sending him flying and knocking down a group of people before finally coming to a stop.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to press his advantage, he suddenly froze. "What? What did you just say? Sister? You're saying this ' Sage of Saunter' killed your sister? Damn it, don't wrong this ' Sage of Saunter '! May I ask, who is your sister?"
The young cultivator, looking completely bewildered, got up, touched the blood under his nose, and said with a grim expression, "You dare hit me?"
