As thick fog rose within the Heaven-Observing Mirror, obscuring the Heaven-Observing Mirror of those inside, no one could discern the situation. However, judging from the terrifying energy fluctuations, no one had expected that the Saint-level array plate that Yang Zhen had casually set up would unleash such terrifying power.
Elder Jian and Jade Holy Palace exchanged a glance, both pondering for a moment. Elder Jian took a deep breath before saying, "This grand array of heaven and earth set up by the Saint-level array plate... Yang Zhen's mastery of array formations is probably unmatched by anyone in the entire Western Region."
The Jade Holy Palace was not particularly skilled in array formations. Upon hearing this, both the Jade Holy Palace Master and the Third Holy Maiden were taken aback. The Jade Holy Palace Master, in particular, had a rapidly changing expression and hesitated before saying, "Is there truly such a high level of skill? But it's just a Saint-level array plate. How could it cause such a celestial phenomenon? Such a grand array of heaven and earth is rare even in that place."
Upon hearing that place, Elder Jian's face flashed with a solemn expression, and he said in a deep voice, "This Yang Zhen must possess an High Antiquity inheritance of the art of formations. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have comprehended the art of formations to such a degree."
The High Antiquity tradition of array formations!
Upon hearing these words, the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace nodded with satisfaction and said, "If that's the case, then this kid Yang Zhen is quite remarkable. If he can come out on top in this assessment, then I'll have something to say. Even that person won't have much to say when they see Yang Zhen."
Seeing the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace's expression, Elder Jian asked with a strange look, "Are you really going to choose Yang Zhen?"
Before the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace could speak, Elder Jian turned to look at the Third Holy Maiden Third Holy Maiden. Seeing her staring blankly at Yang Zhen, he was also taken aback, shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "It seems the Holy Maidens already have someone in mind."
The Third Holy Maiden were taken aback upon hearing this, then turned their heads and slowly said, "Senior is joking. Such matters should be based on the interests of the Jade Holy Palace. Whether to choose Yang Zhen or Lin Haotian is not something I can decide."
Upon hearing this, the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace gave a wry smile and said, "Holy Maiden, rest assured, if Yang Zhen can win over the masses in this assessment, why would I choose that wolf in sheep's clothing, Lin Haotian?"
The Third Holy Maiden' eyes lit up. They glanced at the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace, smiled sweetly, and said, "Then let's wait and see."
For some reason, from the moment they saw Yang Zhen, the Third Holy Maiden felt that Yang Zhen could win. It was an intuition, and an intuition without any basis.
In the entire Western Region, probably no one understands Yang Zhen better than the Third Holy Maiden. Ever since they heard the name Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, the Third Holy Maiden have been deliberately searching for legends about him. All sorts of legends indicate that Yang Zhen... is the nemesis of people like Lin Haotian.
If Lin Haotian is a scion of a prestigious family, exceptionally talented, and arrogant, but his powerful strength and background allow him to act with impunity, then Yang Zhen is just a carefree wild crane. If he can beat you, he'll beat you to a pulp; if he can't, he'll just fly away in a flash, leaving you with no chance to retaliate.
If these two were to meet, it would be the most visually striking duel in the world.
The Third Holy Maiden stared blankly at Yang Zhen, suddenly feeling a sense of anticipation that Yang Zhen would be able to meet Lin Haotian.
As for the other Heaven-Favored Person in Eaglefall Cliff, there will be no problem if Yang Zhen doesn't leave this formation.
Rumble!
A series of buzzing sounds came from within the Heaven and Earth Array, causing everyone's expressions to change repeatedly. No one could see what was happening inside, and even Wan Jian could only stand there dumbfounded, not daring to go in.
Who knows just how dangerous this formation Yang Zhen created actually is?
Standing there, Wan Jian was sweating profusely. The screams coming from inside were terrifying, like ten thousand ants gnawing at Le Ying and the others, causing unbearable pain, yet there was nothing they could do.
Before long, the fluctuations emanating from the formation diminished considerably, and Yang Zhen's figure gradually came into view.
Upon seeing Yang Zhen appear, the surrounding crowd gasped in surprise.
"That bastard Yang Zhen is actually making tea?"
"Wasn't the plan to take advantage of the terrifying eruption of the Heaven and Earth Array to kill Le Ying and the others? Yang Zhen has been making tea the whole time?"
Seeing the blue tea being poured out of Yang Zhen's hand, everyone subconsciously swallowed.
Even without sensing any fluctuations in True Essence, everyone could tell from the color of the tea that the tea brewed by Yang Zhen was definitely not ordinary.
In the crowd, the Shameless Cat stared wide-eyed, drooling, muttering to himself, "Damn, it looks delicious. I should have found a way to go in with him. That Kid Yang is really good at showing off; this show-off is quite natural and refreshing."
Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the group around him, the Shameless Cat grinned. "Sigh, these people have never seen anything like this before. This is just Kid Yang kid testing the waters. If he really goes all out, wouldn't he scare these people to death?"
Just then, someone exclaimed, pointing into the Heaven-Observing Mirror, "Quick... look, who are those people?"
Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked in the direction the man was pointing, their expressions immediately changing.
Four people were hanging casually from the trees in the valley, their storage rings gone, their figures fluttering in the wind, a truly refreshing and ethereal sight.
"It's the four people from Grievance-Dissolving Valley!"
"That woman is Le Ying, what happened to them?"
"He has no injuries, but appears to be unconscious. This... Yang Zhen, that bastard, how could he do something so heinous?"
"Damn it, what's this? If it were Laozi, I would have stripped Le Ying too. These are people who wanted to kill Yang Zhen. The fact that Yang Zhen didn't kill them outright is already a mercy. These Heaven-Favored Person are all so arrogant. Laozi been fed up with them for a long time. Now look what's happened! Le Ying and the others still have the nerve to swagger around?"
"But this is too tragic, isn't it? Yang Zhen just stripped her like that?"
" Yang Zhen... Yang the Skinflint, I remember now, Yang Zhen has that nickname, he's been called Yang the Skinflint for a long time."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, some applauding, others thinking Yang Zhen had gone too far. But Yang Zhen paid no heed to their grumbling and went about her own business, ignoring whatever they said.
Whether people say Yang Zhen should have killed someone or that Yang Zhen did a good job exposing wrongdoing, they are all others imposing their own will on others, which is inherently stupid.
Yang Zhen is Yang Zhen. Everything Yang Zhen does is right, because it is Yang Zhen who does it.
If you just follow what others do and parrot what they say, then you're not Yang Zhen!
The concept of right and wrong is not about what a person does, but about the result of someone's judgment.
Others think you did the right thing, others think you did the wrong thing.
All of this is nonsense to Yang Zhen. He does what he wants, and that's all that matters to him. What business is it of anyone else's?
Yang Zhen sat there contentedly, holding a cup of fragrant tea. He waved to Wan Jian and said, "Brother, want a cup?"
Wan Jian instinctively stepped in front of Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, his gaze turning terrifying. After a moment's hesitation, he gasped and asked, "How did you do that?"
Did you see that?
Sometimes, not killing is more frightening than killing.
Wan Jian killed countless people, but most others only feared him. However, Yang Zhen's methods were mysterious and terrifying!
Yang Zhen grinned, not answering Wan Jian's question, but instead asking, "Do you know what the Jade Pool Holy Land wants from us?"
