Seeing the Great Saint Lords, Yang Zhen, and the two rascals, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, squatting or sitting around a small stove, each holding two skewers of mutton and grilling them, everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Damn, what kind of scene is this?
Who would have thought that these Great Saint figures would be squatting down right in front of him, eating skewers and drinking without any regard for their image?
Moreover, this was all within the Saint Law protective barrier, Elder Quan was sweating profusely as he tried to break it. How could the Great Saint Lords, who were leading this operation, be so... so absurd?
All of this was caused by Yang Zhen!
Yang Zhen's barbecue must be extraordinary. What kind of magical barbecue could make the Holy Lords of the Great Saint act so disregarding their image?
It wasn't until Yang Zhen pulled two exceptionally beautiful and ethereal women, Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, to sit on stools and start eating lamb skewers, and their bodies also emitted bursts of heaven and earth runes to repel the True Essence winds, that everyone finally reacted, exclaimed in unison, and rushed towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen slapped the Flirtatious Chicken Shameless Cat on the head and said, "Alright, you two eat so fast, especially you, a chicken eating lamb skewers, why don't you just fly to the moon?"
"Go to heaven?" Flirtatious Chicken looked at Yang Zhen with a puzzled expression.
Yang Zhen was stunned. Damn it, this bastard really can fly.
Following Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, Flirtatious Chicken somehow cultivated and evolved to the point where he could manifest his true form, becoming a gigantic wing that blotted out the sky. As a result, Yang Zhen almost didn't want the wings of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain anymore.
Even with wings, it wouldn't be as cool as someone standing on Flirtatious Chicken and flying through the air.
Yang Zhen gave Flirtatious Chicken a malicious look, then said to the two bewildered guys, "Do you think this Sage of Saunter is really bored and has nothing better to do than make barbecue at a time like this?"
At this point, Yang Zhen pointed to the people around him who were still drifting uncertainly in the fierce wind and said, "You two, look at these fellow cultivators, still drifting outside. Don't you feel sorry for them?"
Before the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken could speak, Yang Zhen suddenly stood up and addressed the crowd. "Everyone, everyone, as you've all seen, this Sage of Saunter's ' Wutuo Gang Lamb Skewers' is in accordance with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, capable of activating the self-protection mechanism within cultivators. Yes, you read that right, these seemingly array-like shields are actually a self-protection mechanism inherent in the bodies of us primates!"
"What?"
"This is impossible. How could a cultivator have such a powerful magic array inside their body? Yang Zhen, are you trying to fool us?"
"What a joke! If we possessed such powerful restrictions within our bodies, how could we not sense them?"
Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen, while many others turned their attention back to the Great Saint Lords of Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain and Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. Coupled with the array inscriptions on Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Did everyone notice that the restrictions on the two Holy Lords are completely different from those on the two girls?"
"What? So, does this mean that mutton... skewers can really trigger a cultivator's self-protective mechanism?"
" Yang Zhen, could I have a skewer too?"
"Me too, me too, Yang Zhen, we can't hold on much longer. Fellow Daoists on the flying boats, please take care of those of us without flying boats."
A group of people started talking, making it as lively as a vegetable market.
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord and the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord paused simultaneously as they clinked glasses, turning to look at Yang Zhen with strange expressions, and said in unison, "You sell this too?"
Before Yang Zhen could speak, the Shameless Cat banged the gong again.
"What you two bosses say is very true. As long as there's enough amethyst, our Boss Yang will sell it all. In fact, if you all need integrity, Boss Yang said he'd even sell his integrity at a 20% discount!"
"This... Shameless Cat, what's your sense of decency?"
A group of people stared blankly at the Shameless Cat. Although they didn't know what integrity was, they understood the phrase "selling everything."
That bastard Yang Zhen will stop at nothing to earn crystals. No wonder I've never heard of Yang Zhen lacking anything. He can even think of ways to earn crystals at a time like this. How could someone like that lack anything?
Almost everyone rushed up and snatched all the frozen mutton that Yang Zhen had prepared half a year ago. Then, each of them put on a large light shield and left.
Luckily, we didn't have time to throw the meat away!
Seeing that everyone was standing in the gale, and that the powerful True Essence energy of heaven and earth could not even blow away the protective shields on their bodies, everyone was filled with surprise and delight.
Elder Quan's face turned ashen with rage. He had been desperately breaking the restrictions below, while Yang Zhen and the others were actually eating, drinking, and having fun on the flying boat?
If it were just Yang Zhen, that would be fine Yang Zhen has always been like this, acting strangely and unpredictably. No one knows what he will do next.
What Elder Quan couldn't understand was that even the Holy Lords of the Great Saint were sitting next to Yang Zhen and even helping Yang Zhen collect crystals!
Damn it... Elder Quan really wanted to let go right then and there, go up and eat a few skewers of mutton, and then drink a bowl of wine.
I can't take it anymore, the more I think about it, the hungrier I get.
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen!"
At this moment, an old Rogue Cultivator suddenly stood up and spoke, causing everyone to pause in surprise and turn their gazes to him.
The old man cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd and said, "None of us expected that someone would have gotten in to the High Antiquity Ruins first. If it weren't for young friend Yang Zhen, we don't know how many of us would have perished here. Although young friend Yang Zhen symbolically accepted some amethyst from us, who among you would be short of a few amethysts?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Then, upon reflection, they realized it was true. Everyone present was a powerful and outstanding cultivator; who among them didn't possess some savings?
Without Yang Zhen's lamb skewers, everyone would still be struggling in the gale-force winds like kites in mid-air. Now, everyone is able to stand calmly in mid-air, watching Elder Quan break the barrier, all thanks to Yang Zhen.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little better, and their gazes towards Yang Zhen no longer resembled those towards their father's killer.
At this moment, the old man continued, "We still don't know who those people who have gone in are. As long as Elder Quan doesn't break the barrier, we can't get in for even a moment. Young friend Yang Zhen is very righteous and has already done a lot for us. Why don't we all go down and try to help Elder Quan so that we can break the barrier and enter the High Antiquity Ruins as soon as possible? What do you all think?"
"Of course! Yang Zhen has relieved us of our worries, so we will do our utmost to break the formation. Elder Quan, if you need anything, please feel free to speak up!"
"Indeed, this senior is right. Senior Quan, if there's anything I can do for you, just ask!"
Yang Zhen looked at everyone with gratitude, his honest and simple appearance almost bringing him to tears; he was practically ready to bow on the spot.
Seeing Yang Zhen's appearance, everyone became even more certain of the old man's words.
Yang Zhen is truly a great philanthropist!
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, I am not as selfless and benevolent as you claim, but I simply could not bear to see you all suffer in the fierce winds, so... you are all inside the crystal!"
Yang Zhen cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd.
Everyone burst into laughter, praising Yang Zhen to the skies with a mix of jokes and compliments.
The Shameless Cat climbed onto Yang Zhen's shoulder and asked curiously, "Damn it, kid, is that really what you think?"
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat and whispered, "Just listen to it, don't take it seriously. Helping them is true, but..."
The Shameless Cat cackled maliciously, "I knew you were up to no good!"
"Bullshit!" Yang Zhen glared and cursed, "How can you be so heartless, you bastard?"
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "Keep making things up. If you're so capable, tell the truth!"
"Speaking of which... well, it's almost burnt!"
"Dig the grass, hurry up!"
