It's done!
Everyone was terrified!
Yang Zhen patted Elder Qian on the shoulder and said, "Senior, mistakes must be punished. Shouldn't you settle my wages?"
Elder Qian's face froze, and he smiled bitterly. If it was true that the Ancient Spirit Clan had released the Great Saint or even the Great Emperor of the Demon Race, then this matter would definitely put the Ancient Spirit Clan in the eye of the storm.
Public opinion can be a powerful force. If this matter is exploited by those with ulterior motives, the Ancient Spirit Clan might even be isolated by the entire human sects, which would be quite frightening.
In a way, Yang Zhen did save the Ancient Spirit Clan, and it's not unreasonable for him to ask for some reward at this time.
Qianling Sheng looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and slowly asked, "What do you want?"
Yang Zhen smacked his lips and said, "I've heard that your Ancient Spirit Clan's Thousand Flower Brew is quite good. How about I get some to try?"
Qianhe was taken aback, then burst into laughter and said, "What's so difficult about that?"
As he spoke, Qianhe took out a jar of sealed Thousand Flower Brew from his storage ring and handed it to Yang Zhen, saying, "This is a new recipe of Thousand Flower Brew that I personally researched. Would you like to try it?"
Yang Zhen chuckled and put away the Thousand Flower Brew, then pried open the Shameless Cat's mouth that was leaning in, saying, " The Ancient Spirit Clan's Thousand Flower Brew is renowned for generations, how can we drink it dry? I didn't expect you to be a wine lover too, senior. Let's drink and have some skewers sometime."
Qianhe was taken aback and asked in surprise, "I'll gladly drink with you, but what's the meaning of this 'barbecue'?"
Before Yang Zhen could speak, the Shameless Cat let out a strange squeak and said, "Kid, we have time now, why don't we have a good drink?"
"Get lost! We haven't found that Flirtatious Chicken yet. What's on your mind besides eating? Aren't you worried about Flirtatious Chicken at all?" Yang Zhen glared at him.
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "You ask me, how would I know what's in that head? That Flirtatious Chicken, gets drunk after just one drink. Why bother with him? As for worrying, there's no need. That bastard is probably having a good time somewhere right now."
At this moment, a surge of True Essence suddenly came from the horizon. Surprised, everyone looked up at the sky and their expressions changed instantly.
Countless cultivators are rushing towards this direction, led by people from the Great Saint, Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain.
Following the Great Saint were countless cultivators, mostly from major sects and powerful Rogue Cultivator.
The people from the Great Saint were not moving fast; clearly, even though they sensed the commotion here, they did not waste too much of their True Essence.
Within the Land of Nine Dragons Quehua, without any spiritual energy of heaven and earth, everyone's True Essence was dwindling with each use. Although there were crystals and some rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to restore True Essence, how could they possibly keep up with the consumption of such experts?
Yang Zhen looked up and didn't see Duan Sihai and Li Cangxu. Clearly, the two were not with the others.
When the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord and the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord saw Yang Zhen and the others, they were both taken aback. They landed in front of the group, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn and strange.
When everyone discovered the altar radiating energy fluctuations, they were all taken aback. The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord approached Yang Zhen and asked, "Young friend Yang, what is this? Have you noticed anything strange about this place?"
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts, when Qianhe chuckled and said, "The two Holy Lords have quite the keen sense of smell, finding this place so quickly. However, you'd better keep your Holy Land disciples in check. This altar is the key to the Land of Nine Dragons Quehua; it may be suppressing a powerful Demon Race!"
"What?"
The people from Great Saint were startled. Clearly, no one had expected that such an inconspicuous altar could possibly suppress a powerful Demon Race.
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord was clearly skeptical, looking at Yang Zhen and saying, "How can you be so sure that what's being suppressed inside is a powerful Demon Race?"
Yang Zhen pursed his lips, indicating that he did not want to talk to the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord.
"You..." The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord's expression turned angry, and he was about to speak when Death Shadow sneered and said, "On the way here, we encountered a Demon Race. Although he hasn't manifested yet, he can already speak beast language."
Upon hearing Death Shadow's words, everyone present was once again taken aback.
After a moment of contemplation, the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord said, "So, there really are remnants of the Demon Race appearing in the High Antiquity Ruins. Whether there is a powerful figure suppressing the Demon Race in this altar can be set aside for now. The appearance of the Demon Race race is clearly beyond the control of our few sects. This matter must be spread so that all the sects in the world can receive this information."
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord snorted coldly and said, "Leave this matter to the people of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land."
As he spoke, the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord instructed his disciples. Several disciples immediately stepped out of the crowd, glanced at the huge altar with strange expressions, and then rushed away.
Yang Zhen didn't remind these people that while entering the Land of Nine Dragons Quehua was easy, leaving might not be so simple.
On the surface, the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord intended to spread the news of the appearance of Demon Race traces in the High Antiquity Ruins, but in reality, he probably wanted to attract more people. After all, the High Antiquity Ruins had been fully opened, and since there was a "powerful Demon Race being" sealed beneath the altar, it was clear that there was an extremely powerful legacy within the ruins.
If there truly is a powerful Demon Race beneath the altar, then the inheritance contained within is at least a Saint-level inheritance.
A Saint-level inheritance is enough to make an existence like the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land take risks and abandon all sense of shame.
Heavenly Snow Holy Lord and the others were well aware of Heavenly Spring Holy Lord's plans, but they chose not to reveal them. In their exchange of glances, they all saw the contempt for Heavenly Spring Holy Lord.
However, the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord clearly valued profit more than face, and even though everyone looked at him with strange disdain, he could still put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
At this moment, many more people arrived at the altar. They were all powerful figures that Yang Zhen did not recognize, including more than a dozen cultivators at the Mahayana Realm Ninth Heaven, which amazed Yang Zhen.
The world is truly changing, and there are more and more powerful people. Those who were once Mahayana Realm Ninth Heaven in the entire North Isle, now they are everywhere.
Disciples from the Ancient Life Sect, where Gong Sanhe belonged, also came over and stood behind him, following his Gong Sanhe. They all looked at the enormous altar in front of them with curiosity.
The altar was constructed of stones of an unknown material, and the joints were so tight that it was difficult to find any gaps.
Everyone was stunned by the incredible craftsmanship, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.
After exchanging pleasantries with the visitor, Gong Sanhe approached Yang Zhen and asked in a low voice, "Young friend Yang, what should we do now?"
Upon hearing Gong Sanhe's words and seeing his attitude towards Yang Zhen Gong Sanhe, the disciples of the Ancient Life Sect were all taken aback and looked at Yang Zhen with surprise.
Among the Ancient Life Sect members, an elder asked in a deep voice, " Elder Gong, who is this young man?"
Gong Sanhe's expression changed, but before he could speak, the white-bearded man suddenly continued, "Since our Ancient Life Sect entered the High Antiquity Ruins, many disciples have obtained excellent inheritances, while many more have had their souls shattered. It was thanks to the efforts of these disciples that the Ancient Life Sect was able to come here. But what about you?"
At this point, Laozi's face turned completely gloomy.
"Under such circumstances, isn't it somewhat inappropriate to have an unknown kid represent the Ancient Life Sect?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Yang Zhen was slightly taken aback and narrowed his eyes.
Damn it, this old guy is obviously up to something!
