"What? He's Yang Zhen?"
Hearing the cultivator's strange cry, everyone was taken aback and stared in horror at the disheveled fellow before them.
"Impossible! Wasn't Yang Zhen already dead? Why would he be here?"
"Didn't you hear what he just said? This guy calls himself 'This Sage of Saunter,' and even claims that Hua Youyue is his woman. Apart from Yang Zhen, who in the entire North Isle dares to say that Hua Youyue is his woman?"
"This... Yang Zhen came out of the Thunder Marsh Fire Prison? How is that possible? Even Heavenly Cycle Realm experts can't get in, how could Yang Zhen have come out?"
"More than that, I'm curious whether Yang Zhen actually created his own unique Dao."
"Fellow Daoist, you jest. To say you can create a Dao that belongs only to yourself is utter nonsense, the most ridiculous thing in the world. Only the legendary Yang Zhen could say such a thing."
"This fellow Daoist is a member of the Ancient Clan, isn't he?"
How did you know?
"There's no need to guess. Only those of us who were born in the same era as Yang Zhen Yang Zhen know just how terrifying he is!"
"That's absurd! You haven't even realized how powerful the Ancient Clan are. Just now, Lu Guihai, the Holy Son of the Ancient Origin Sacred Land, was among the Five Clans. Lu Guihai is already the strongest young expert in North Isle. Even a strongman like Duan Sihai was injured by Lu Guihai. When Yang Zhen met him, he knew that there are always people stronger than him."
"Leaving aside Lu Guihai of the Ancient Origin Sacred Land, even the Holy Maiden of the Yin Kui Clan is already a Peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm expert, and it's rumored that she has long harbored reservations about Hua Youyue. No matter how talented Yang Zhen is, could he still be at the Peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm at this moment?"
At this point, everyone looked blankly at each other, then turned to look at the entrance of the Three Flowers Sacred Hall. However, Yang Zhen had already entered the Three Flowers Sacred Hall.
Everyone wore a strange expression. Suddenly, someone asked, "Did any of you notice what Yang Zhen's cultivation level is right now?"
"This... I was so surprised that I didn't even notice Yang Zhen's cultivation level. It's truly strange."
"Huh? I didn't sense any cultivation aura from Yang Zhen either. Could it be that no one else noticed?"
"I was aware of that just now, but..."
"But what? You old geezer, you're really something else! If you've noticed something, just say it already!"
"I... sensed no fluctuations of True Essence from Yang Zhen; he was just like... an ordinary mortal."
"Tch, how could that be? Senior, are you perhaps blind and didn't see clearly? Legend has it that Yang Zhen was already a Peak Mahayana Realm expert when he was sealed away. After being sealed away for a year, his cultivation not only didn't improve, but he actually became a cripple?"
The group of people looked at each other, their expressions turning strange.
Some curious onlookers, seeing Yang Zhen enter the Three Flowers Sacred Hall, couldn't resist their curiosity and followed him inside.
Once the first one appeared, the second and third followed closely behind. Before long, quite a few curious cultivators entered the Three Flowers Sacred Hall.
The remaining people all stared at the entrance to the Three Flowers Sacred Hall with expressions of astonishment and uncertainty; many of them still hadn't come to their senses.
Yang Zhen is here?
He appeared before everyone looking so disheveled, spouting grand pronouncements that he would go in and beat the Five Clans so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them?
"As expected of Yang Zhen, he's as reckless as ever. In this situation, let alone beating the Five Clans to the point where even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them, it would be a miracle if they even survived."
Inside the Three Flowers Sacred Hall, Hua Youyue was trembling violently, staring in disbelief at the incredible and terrifying scene before her, her face filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
With the Sun Shadow Sacred Sword in hand, Han Yan'er stood beside Hua Youyue and asked, "What... what's going on?"
Even the Shameless Cat stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in astonishment, "Damn it, this place is definitely strange! This isn't the Three Flowers Sacred Hall!"
"If it weren't for the Three Flowers Sacred Hall, why would you have been able to enter so easily, sister?" Han Yan'er asked with a puzzled expression, her expression gradually becoming serious as she looked at the terrifying scene before her.
Behind the three, the people of the Five Clans all looked shocked, clearly stunned by the scene before them.
Guo Hu, pale-faced, stood beside the crowd with the Beiqi Clan, equally taken aback.
Before them stretched a vast, boundless space, billowing with dark energy. Within this dark energy, dark red iron chains vibrated and rattled.
The chains were thick, at least as thick as an adult's thigh. Countless chains converged in mid-air, and deep, angry roars echoed from the sky. Amidst the dark, swirling energy, Evil Qi filled the air, sending chills down one's spine.
"This is definitely not the Three Flowers Sacred Hall, much less the soul of the Three Flowers Holy Maiden. This aura actually makes my soul tremble; it's clearly extraordinary."
Guo Hu stared at the sky, his face pale. Clearly, this place, which used to be the Three Flowers Sacred Hall, had been completely changed, and at least one extremely powerful being was sealed inside.
No one could see clearly what was at the top of the chain.
A terrifying, Evil Qi swept over them, causing the faces of cultivators with lower cultivation levels to turn red, and many even coughed up blood, becoming completely dazed.
"Even so, there must be some information about the Three Flowers Living Soul here. Holy Maiden Hua, can you remember this place?" Jian Long sneered, staring at Hua Youyue as he spoke.
Hua Youyue glanced back at Jian Long, shook her head, and said, "I told you, I am not the Three Flowers Holy Maiden."
Huo Rong smiled, looked at Hua Youyue, and said, word by word, "If you are not the Three Flowers Holy Maiden, why were you able to bring us to the interior of the Three Flowers Sacred Hall so easily? Holy Maiden Hua, now that things have come to this, you should stop hiding it. What strange things are inside? What kind of being is sealed here? While there's still time, I advise you to tell us."
Hua Youyue frowned. She really couldn't remember if this place was the Three Flowers Sacred Hall, and she had no idea what kind of place was sealed inside.
Upon hearing Huo Rong's words, the Shameless Cat immediately became enraged, glaring at Huo Rong and cursing, "Damn it, I've lived for countless years, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless and despicable old bastard like you! If you want to know what kind of place is sealed inside, why don't you go and see for yourself? What, you're too scared?"
"Presumptuous!"
A young cultivator from the Fire Spirit Clan roared, glaring at the Shameless Cat, " Shameless Cat, watch your tongue! How dare you interfere in the affairs of the Fire Spirit Clan?"
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "Even if you asked me to, I wouldn't bother. But I advise you to keep your mouth shut, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Huo Rong coldly looked at the Shameless Cat and said, "A cat demon who knows what kind of good fortune it has received dares to be so arrogant. I am not like some people who are blinded and cannot distinguish the truth."
"Hmph!" Guo Hu snorted coldly, walked up to Hua Youyue, glanced coldly at Huo Rong, and turned to Hua Youyue, saying, "Can't you remember anything at all?"
Hua Youyue shook her head and said, "I can't remember, but I have a bad feeling that this being in front of us might not be something we can control."
Guo Hu's expression changed, and he was about to speak when a silvery laugh rang out. From among the Yin Kui Clan members, a young woman dressed in thin clothes stepped forward, looking at Hua Youyue with a half-smile, and said, "Legend has it that the Holy Maiden Hua has Ageless Tree of Immortality. Are you really afraid in your own holy temple?"
Hua Youyue glanced at the young woman, about to speak, when another person said in a deep voice, " Holy Maiden Hua, now that we've all arrived at the Three Flowers Sacred Hall, you're probably the most familiar person here. Why don't you go and see what kind of place it is, that's worth... oh, worth your intervention in your past life as Great Saint Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Youyue and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Clearly, the Five Clans were determined to force Hua Youyue to go up and inspect the place.
