When people are nervous, the slightest disturbance around them is magnified many times over; this is the famous phenomenon of seeing enemies everywhere.
When Yang Zhen met the Ghost Alchemist, he discovered that although the Ghost Alchemist was a legendary ruthless and extremely cruel person, he was actually a cautious and adorable little guy who always walked on thin ice.
How many of those who spend their days hiding and engaging in petty theft can truly be arrogant?
A truly top-tier assassin is far less resistant to intimidation than a street thug. A top-tier assassin might be able to scare away a street thug, but try scaring one away?
You'll get beaten up!
However, those clueless fools who don't care won't live long.
The Ghost Alchemist was terrified, but everyone else just laughed, especially the chubby boy, who had a very low threshold for laughter and laughed until tears streamed down his face. But no one noticed how perfectly Yang Zhen's "Ah" was timed.
In the crowd, the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord's expression gradually turned solemn. Staring at Yang Zhen, she said, "They are wrong. The world is wrong."
Was it wrong?
Elder Huo looked at the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding the meaning behind the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord's sudden remark.
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord did not continue speaking, but gestured for everyone to watch carefully, especially Yang Zhen's every move, and to pay extra attention to it.
If there were students here who had completed nine years of compulsory education, they would understand that Heavenly Snow Holy Lord was highlighting key points that would be on the test!
While suspicion lingered on one side, back at the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord snorted coldly, glaring at Fang Zhongjian and angrily saying, "Who told this Holy Lord that Yang Zhen is eccentric, arrogant, ignorant, and impulsive?"
Fang Zhongjian was taken aback, and looked at Yang Zhen: "Could this boy... not be?"
Even at this point, Fang Zhongjian still didn't understand what his Holy Lord was talking about.
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord stared at Fang Zhongjian for a long time before sighing and closing his eyes, "Look, stare at Yang Zhen. What does his every move, every word, every breath mean? What is he trying to do? You must understand. If you don't understand... get back to the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and don't leave for ten years."
Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land were stunned. They stared at each other, bewildered, none of them knowing what had happened.
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord's face gradually turned ashen, and he was about to erupt in fury. A young male disciple standing beside him, who was standing at attention, said in a deep voice, " Yang Zhen... is not a simple man!"
"What?"
Fang Zhongjian was taken aback. After seeing who was speaking, he looked even more surprised and puzzled, and looked at the young male disciple for help.
Clearly, this young male disciple had figured it out, and what he had figured out was exactly what the Holy Master wanted them to observe. But what else could that bastard Yang Zhen be besides being incredibly shameless?
" Junior Brother Li, what's so special about this Yang Zhen?"
"His every move was strange, utterly absurd, and some of his actions were simply laughable. Why...?"
Heavenly Spring Holy Lord glanced at Li Cangxu without surprise, then closed his eyes again.
Li Cangxu smiled and said, "If you observe carefully, behind every seemingly absurd action of Yang Zhen lies an extremely profound intention. Moreover, his shout came out of nowhere. At any other time, the Ghost Alchemist would only look at him as if he were a fool, but the timing he chose startled even someone as sullen and cautious as the Ghost Alchemist..."
At this point, Fang Zhongjian's face turned pale, and he said incredulously, "You mean, Yang Zhen, he..."
"He's either incredibly shrewd or a master strategist!" Li Cangxu gave Yang Zhen a deep look, a hint of almost manic excitement flashing in his eyes, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "This Yang Zhen is very interesting. If you think he's just impulsive, you'll suffer a terrible fate."
Fang Zhongjian staggered back two steps, his face drained of color, and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, "Impossible, in this world, there are still..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Zhongjian saw the crazed look in Li Cangxu's eyes and suddenly shut up. Yang Zhen and Li Cangxu were the same kind of people, both madmen.
On the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain side, after the chubby boy finished laughing, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Li Cangxu from afar and muttered to himself, "Interesting, getting more and more interesting. These guys are all more cunning than the last. I, the chubby one, am the most innocent."
At this point, the chubby boy couldn't help but burst into laughter again, clutching his stomach and giving Li Cangxu a disdainful look. "Does this bastard have absolutely no sense of humor?"
Li Cangxu's gaze passed through Yang Zhen and landed on the chubby boy. He paused for a moment, then chuckled and turned his gaze back to Yang Zhen.
"Damn it, you bastard, who do you think you are?" The chubby boy glared at Guan Guan, muttered to himself, and sat down Guan Guan her with a pout.
The Shameless Cat, who was taking a nap, was startled and looked up at Li Cangxu with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, the Ghost Alchemist, having finished his preparations, gave Yang Zhen a sinister smile and said, " Yang Zhen, to be able to make a name for yourself in this world, whether it's a lowly one or a fearsome one, you are not to be underestimated. I admit I underestimated you, but from now on, you will have no chance."
Before Yang Zhen could speak, Ghost Alchemist suddenly roared, and his upper garment burst open with a bang. A massive wave of blood-red energy surged out, swirling and churning in mid-air. Countless small black insects leaped from Ghost Alchemist's body and merged into the air with a bang.
The deafening buzzing sent chills down the spines of everyone who witnessed it. The chubby boy's eyes widened in horror as he exclaimed, " The Corpse-Ferrying Insect! This madman actually sacrificed his body to the Corpse-Ferrying Insect!"
"Oh no!" Guan Guan exclaimed and stood up, looking in the direction of the Ghost Alchemist with a look of suspicion and uncertainty.
Amidst the continuous roaring, waves of violent killing intent blew in the air, and the endless blood-red energy waves sounded like the wails of ghosts and wolves, directly chilling the mind.
None of the people present had ever seen such a vicious method before, and they exclaimed in shock. Even Fang Zhongjian was startled, and Li Cangxu hardened.
Ghost Alchemist low, cold laugh echoed from the endless waves of blood, "I gave up the chance to be human. I endured State of Mind condemnation and scorn of the world, clinging to life, but how could you possibly understand what true power is?"
A voice, almost like a Ghost Alchemist, drifted over, growing increasingly low until it finally rasped hoarsely, "The pill I'm refining today is one I've never refined before. Yang Zhen, while you're scheming and plotting, have you ever considered that someone else is scheming against you?"
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the terrifying crimson aura emanating from the area before him, which exuded an evil aura. Upon hearing this, he simply said "Oh," and replied, "Usually when others plot against this ' Sage of Saunter,' all I have to do is Sage of Saunter force my way through!"
The Ghost Alchemist shuddered, and the blood waves in the sky churned violently. He laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, the blood waves in mid-air suddenly condensed into a blood-red head, staring at Yang Zhen, and actually spoke, "Is that so? I wonder if you have ever heard of the Blood-Drinking Pill?"
"What?"
Guan Guan exclaimed in shock and stood up abruptly, "You bastard, how dare you refine such an evil pill?"
"Evil?"
The Ghost Alchemist laughed heartily, "In this world, what is evil or not? So-called evil is nothing more than something that some fame-seeking people have created. Everything that exists in this world has its reason for existence. Why bother with artificial labels like justice and evil?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback, their expressions turning grim, even the two Holy Lords' expressions hardened.
Yang Zhen's eyes widened, and he cursed, "Damn it, he really is an idiot?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback once again.
The Ghost Alchemist's words were irrefutable, and many cultivators even experienced Heart Demon breakdown. Yang Zhen's words were also difficult to understand. What were these two up to?
Is this the true contest between the strong?
