Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone present was stunned and shocked.
" Yang Zhen came to Mountain and River City to save the old city lord, but he didn't expect to be treated like this?"
"This... this is truly absurd. Luckily, Yang Zhen is incredibly lucky. If it were any other Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator, they would probably be dead by now."
"If Yang Zhen dies here, wouldn't our Mountain and River City become a laughingstock in the eyes of the world, a bunch of ungrateful bastards?"
"It's all Guo Jing's fault, that bastard! He couldn't be a decent person, so he had to be an ungrateful beast. He's capable of framing people like this; he truly deserves to die."
"Once his cultivation is destroyed, he'll be close to death. Which cultivator doesn't have a few enemies?"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, all staring at Yang Zhen in astonishment. Suddenly, someone burst into a tirade:
"Damn it! The most despicable one is Fang Zhongjian of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. He actually came up with such a vicious scheme to frame Yang Zhen. No way, Laozi the first to stand by and watch. The Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain Grand Assembly, is it? I 'Laozi going to go and see just how arrogant these holy lands really are."
"Exactly! They're just some people who've been asleep for ten thousand years. Do they really think we, North Isle, are all powerless? What kind of arrogant people would do something like this? They actually tried to kidnap Miss Feng! I absolutely refuse to allow it."
Yang Zhen was taken aback by the indignant expressions of the crowd, not expecting them to be so united in their hatred of the enemy.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen!"
Yang Zhen Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "I truly appreciate your kindness, but the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain Grand Assembly is far too dangerous. It is said that those from the sacred lands and Ancient Clan have grand ambitions for this Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain Grand Assembly, which may endanger your lives. I will entrust the task of rescuing Miss Feng to myself. If I unfortunately die, please find my body and bring it to Pondwater Gully Village Lotus Township. Even in the afterlife, I will be grateful to you all."
Hearing Yang Zhen say this, the crowd not only failed to calm down, but became even more furious.
"Look, look! This is true righteousness! Yang Zhen, no matter what others say, Laozi only believe what I see. Laozi admire very few people, but you're one of them."
"That's right, don't worry, Yang Zhen. If you're targeted by the people from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain, I'll be the first to object. Although my cultivation isn't as high as those holy land disciples, I'll take down as many as I can. Killing two of Laozi wouldn't be a loss!"
"How dare the cultivators of Mountain and River City be afraid of trouble? Let's fight them to the death, rescue Miss Feng, and protect Fellow Daoist Yang Zhen!"
"The old city lord has been incredibly kind to us. Now that Miss Feng has been kidnapped by that bastard Fang Zhongjian, we absolutely cannot let him go. So what if he's from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land? Laozi kill anyone from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land."
The Shameless Cat stared dumbfounded at the group of spirited people before him, muttering to himself, "They're all crazy, these people are insane! What kind of world is this? There are actually people willing to take responsibility."
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat, curled his lip, and said, "What do you know, you Shameless Cat? This is called justice resides in the hearts of the people."
A hearty laugh rang out. Feng Jingtu laughed heartily and said, "What a fine saying, 'Justice resides in the hearts of the people.' Brother Yang, rest assured, your trip to the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain was to rescue your little sister. Even without this matter, just based on your statement that justice resides in the hearts of the people, I, Feng, will support you to the end. Although the people of Mountain and River City are not highly cultivated, their unity is invaluable. I, Feng, also have some connections outside, and I will persuade them to lend Brother Yang a hand."
A look of flattery flashed across Yang Zhen's face, and he hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "No, no, absolutely not... How many people can you call?"
Feng Jingtu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "My connections are rather limited. If we're talking in my grandfather's name, there should be several seniors at the Mahayana Realm."
Oh my, Yang Zhen's eyes really lit up! This is an unexpected delight. It seems that this Old Master Feng has quite a high status in the martial arts world; he can even pull out a few powerful guys at the Mahayana Realm.
Moreover, judging from Feng Jingtu's manner, he would agree to this with ease. Add to that the attempts to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, and wouldn't there be even more?
Yang Zhen rubbed his hands together, waved his hand, and said, "What a joke! This ' Sage of Saunter' doesn't need these seniors to step in if he wants to enter the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain Grand Assembly. This ' Sage of Saunter ' can handle it all by himself. Let's go check on Old Master Feng's injuries first."
Mentioning Old Master Feng's injuries, Feng Jingtu sighed repeatedly, his brow furrowed in worry. He waved his hand, ordering his son, who was unable to speak, to be carried away, and said in a bitter voice:
"Speaking of this matter, it is related to the changes in heaven and earth. Grandpa's injury was caused when the True Essence heaven and earth suddenly surged last time. During his cultivation, for some reason, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from a clear sky, and a terrifying orange lightning bolt burst out in mid-air. If Grandpa hadn't reacted quickly and dodged, the entire Mountain and River City would probably have been destroyed by that terrifying lightning."
Yang Zhen's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, and he said, "Last time... a burst of True Essence?"
Damn it, wasn't the last time his True Essence erupted the time when he unintentionally broke the Heaven and Earth Shackles in the East Sea?
This is indeed a sin. It turns out that Old Master Feng's injury is somehow related to him. Although Yang Zhen feels no remorse at all, it's best not to reveal this matter and keep his merits hidden.
This is a complete cycle of cause and effect. Because Yang Zhen unintentionally activated the Heaven and Earth Shackles, Old Master Feng was struck by lightning and injured while fortuitous opportunity. By sheer coincidence, Yang Zhen ended up saving his life again. What the hell is going on here?
As Yang Zhen was led into the Feng Household by Feng Jingtu, everyone was filled with curiosity, but they could only wait helplessly outside.
Along the way, Yang Zhen learned that even the Black Sand could not heal Old Master Feng's injuries, which left Yang Zhen somewhat at a loss. However, although he was a little panicked inside, Yang Zhen maintained a calm and composed expression on his face.
Such a coincidence has happened. If Yang Zhen can't cure Old Master Feng's illness, wouldn't that be a slap in the face from Heaven itself?
How could such a thing happen?
"My younger sister was just worried about Grandpa's injuries. Concern can cloud judgment. When my younger sister and Guo Jing and the others entered the Mountain and River Ruins, the Black Sand acquisition was already somewhat organized, but... it's all fate. Grandpa said that my younger sister was destined for this calamity."
Yang Zhen looked at Feng Jingtu with some surprise and asked in astonishment, " Old Master Feng actually figured it out?"
This is a bit scary; this old man is something else.
Feng Jingtu gave a wry smile, "That happened three years ago. Although I calculated it, I couldn't pinpoint exactly what happened, let alone when. I never imagined that despite all the precautions, it would still happen."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen became even more curious about this Old Master Feng.
When the group arrived at the place where Old Master Feng was recuperating, Yang Zhen was immediately taken aback.
With its babbling brooks, bamboo houses, and pavilions nestled amidst swirling clouds, I never imagined that such a beautiful place could exist within the Mountain and River City.
As they traveled, stopping and starting along the way, Yang Zhen increasingly felt that this Old Master Feng was no ordinary person. Just his temperament alone was enough to surpass everyone Yang Zhen had ever met.
When Yang Zhen stepped into Old Master Feng's bedside and saw Old Master Feng lying on the bed, he immediately gasped and almost cursed.
Is this even human?
