A powerhouse with seven Heavenly Cycle Realm of cultivation?
That sounds amazing!
Yang Zhen sized up the seven powerful figures who had descended from the sky. He didn't recognize any of them, but Yang Zhen loved making friends, so he grinned and greeted them, "Hello!"
The seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm were all quite old, and clearly didn't think Yang Zhen was greeting them in a friendly manner. One of the elders in red glanced at the heavily injured Wan Quan, snorted coldly, and asked, "Sect Leader Wan, why are you in such a sorry state?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wan Quan's face as he pointed at Yang Zhen and said, " Elder Ma, this brat is not to be underestimated. Everyone, kill him for me."
The red-robed elder, addressed as Elder Ma, flashed a look of disdain as he looked at Yang Zhen and said, "He's just a mere Heavenly Cycle Realm cultivator, some disciple from some holy land. Why make such a fuss? Sect Leader Wan, if you can't give us a satisfactory explanation today, you should know the consequences."
Clearly, none of the people who came this time, including Elder Ma in red, took Yang Zhen seriously.
A disciple of a 'holy land' at the Heavenly Cycle Realm could easily kill the leader of a small sect like Wan Quan in a matter of minutes. However, even an older Heavenly Cycle Realm Heavenly Cycle Realm would be beyond Yang Zhen's capabilities.
Wan Quan actually requested seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm, which seemed utterly absurd to everyone. Without a satisfactory explanation, even if Yang Zhen didn't kill Wan Quan, Wan Quan wouldn't live to see the moon tonight.
Seeing the imposing aura emanating from the seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm, everyone around felt a chill run down their spines, watching the unfolding events in astonishment, not daring to utter a sound.
Seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm! Although we don't know where they came from, just these seven people are enough to roam freely across the Youzhou Continent several times over.
Who would dare offend such a powerful entity?
Gou Shengtian's face was pale, but Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised. The old man's hand holding the long sword was trembling, and the veins were bulging, clearly indicating that he was prepared to fight to the death. Moreover, he subtly moved to Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen and protected him.
What a kind old man! Why does he have to put on such a stern, unapproachable act?
Yang Chen and Li Ruxue stood motionless behind Gou Shengtian, each holding a long sword. Their eyes were sharp, especially Yang Chen's, which were filled with excitement.
How could someone get excited at a time like this?
No wonder this Sage of Saunter master has his eye on her!
Yang Zhen grinned at Yang Chen, almost making the child cry with excitement.
Everyone around held their breath, their faces filled with astonishment. The entire, no, half of White Cloud Mountain was completely silent, save for the gentle breeze that felt like a spring breeze, yet sent a chill down one's spine.
At this moment, Wan Quan suddenly pointed at Yang Zhen and said, " Elder Ma, Yang Zhen is not a disciple of any holy land, but just a disciple of the Shangyuan Sect. He actually possesses the power of aura, and at such a young age he is already a Heavenly Cycle Realm expert. Clearly, he has obtained a lot of fortuitous opportunity and good fortune recently. I even suspect that he may have the inheritance of Great Saint."
The Great Saint's legacy?
Upon hearing that Yang Zhen was merely a disciple of the Shangyuan Sect, all seven Heavenly Cycle Realm experts present changed their expressions, looking at Yang Zhen with astonishment.
Yang Zhen maintained a calm and composed demeanor, continuing to greet the seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm.
Elder Ma, dressed in red, approached Yang Zhen, frowning as he asked, "Boy, are you truly a disciple of the Shangyuan Sect?"
Upon hearing Elder Ma in red ask this question, Yang Zhen understood that Elder Ma and his ilk knew about the Shangyuan Sect.
That makes sense. The Sword Attendant Sect and the Shangyuan Sect have always been at odds. Since the Sword Attendant Sect has allied with them, they must have heard of the Shangyuan Sect.
Yang Zhen nodded and asked with a curious look, "Which holy land do you come from, senior?"
The elder in red laughed heartily and said, "Boy, you don't need to know which holy land we come from. How about this: tell us about your inheritance and the method for comprehending the power of your aura, and we can forgive your past disrespect. What do you say?"
Hearing this, Gou Shengtian hesitated, though he felt it was a pity. He thought that as long as Yang Zhen gave the items to these people, he could at least save his life.
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Great idea!"
Elder Ma in red robes showed a hint of surprise on his face, clearly not expecting Yang Zhen to be so easy to talk to. However, he quickly realized that his side had seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm, while the Shangyuan Sect only had Yang Zhen as a single person who could barely fight them.
Those who are shrewd and adaptable will live longer; this principle holds true everywhere.
However, before Elder Ma in red could even smile, Yang Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "Now hand over everything you have, and I might let bygones be bygones and spare your lives. After all, it's not easy for you to have just crawled out of the ground."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped, staring at Yang Zhen in utter shock and disbelief.
The smile on Elder Ma's face gradually froze, his old face turning as long as a horse's as he stared at Yang Zhen, his eyes flashing with anger and embarrassment. He said, word by word, "Boy, are you playing me?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "You're right, you old bastard!"
Whoa--!
Everyone was stunned by Yang Zhen's words.
Yang Zhen, a cultivator at the Heavenly Cycle Realm, actually insulted Elder Ma, a fellow Zhou Heavenly Cycle Realm stage expert, in front of six Heavenly Cycle Realm experts?
Moreover, the way he cursed was so crisp and decisive, without any hesitation, that it was clear this wasn't the first time Yang Zhen had done this.
boom--!
As expected, Elder Ma in red flew into a rage, a burst of red flames erupting from his body, the flames soaring to the heavens, his aura surging to its peak. "Boy, I'd like to see where you get your confidence to dare to defy me like this! Attack! Seize this brat! I'll make him taste the bitterest of all the world's suffering!"
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, bursts of energy erupted from the seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm, startling everyone who screamed and desperately retreated.
Who would have thought that a powerhouse at the Heavenly Cycle Realm would act so unpredictably, going so far as to fight Yang Zhen seven to one and even capture Yang Zhen alive?
Elder Ma in red had a sarcastic look on his face, and he clearly scorned such things as the moral principles of the world.
Why waste time and effort on one-on-one solutions when problems can be resolved quickly?
Yang Zhen was taken aback, but he admired these people's way of doing things; this was the Cultivation World of cultivation.
"You shameless old folks, are you trying to bully the few with the many? Believe me or not, I'll call for help."
Yang Zhen retreated with lingering fear, her face revealing the full extent of her shock.
Clearly, Elder Ma and the others in red robes thoroughly enjoyed this feeling. Looking at Yang Zhen, they laughed heartily and said mockingly, "Kid, go ahead and scream! Even if you scream your lungs out, do you think anyone in the entire Youzhou Continent will save your life under these circumstances?"
Yang Zhen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He suspected the old man was driving, but he had no proof.
Gou Shengtian was standing to the side, was almost frantic. He was about to rush forward and fight desperately with his long sword in his hand when he suddenly paused and saw Yang Zhen's ambiguous smile. For some reason, he suddenly felt relieved.
That's the kind of smile Yang Zhen has; the moment she shows that smile, someone's in for trouble.
Gou Shengtian looked at Elder Ma and the others with a strange expression, his face changing drastically. He leaned close to Yang Zhen and said, "Boy, I remember now. A holy land has suddenly appeared on the Youzhou Continent recently, something like the Great Spring Holy Land. It's incredibly powerful, with over a dozen experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm stage under its tutelage. Moreover, its methods are extremely ruthless. You... you should leave the Shangyuan Sect."
Great Spring Holy Land?
Upon hearing the name, Yang Zhen was taken aback; he had never heard of it before.
Seeing that Elder Ma and the others in red were about to rush forward, a half-smile appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Wait!"
Elder Ma and the others in red seemed unhurried, perhaps enjoying the feeling of being in complete control. Looking down at Yang Zhen, they said, "Boy, a wise man submits to circumstances. Now that you've come to your senses, quickly hand over your inheritance. If we're in a good mood, we might spare your life, leaving you with a chance for revenge."
Yang Zhen nodded. This was a classic villain, truly a classic one.
Seeing these people, Yang Zhen even felt a little reluctant to kill them all.
Such an interesting soul is hard to find.
Yang Zhen looked at Elder Ma in red with a weak expression and said, "I don't care about any inheritance stuff. Are you sure you want seven people to bully a junior like me today?"
Elder Ma, dressed in red, frowned and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, "Boy, my patience is limited. You only have one chance!"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "So, you're really going to let seven old men bully a junior like me?"
"You bastard!"
Among the seven, an elderly man with a noticeably volatile temper pointed his longsword and roared, "Boy, you talk too much!"
Yang Zhen laughed loudly and said, "Damn it, this Sage of Saunter has been talking very little lately. Don't leave later, let's see if this Sage of Saunter can talk to you for three days and three nights without sleeping."
"You..."
The irritable old man's face contorted with rage as he charged at Yang Zhen, his aura surging, making everyone's hearts pound with fear.
But Yang Zhen's face showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he looked up at the clouds in the sky, grinned, and said, "You guys are really enjoying the show, aren't you? So many old geezers are bullying me. Why don't we bully them back?"
Wh... what?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the irritable old man abruptly stopped in mid-air, clearly accustomed to caution. He pointed his longsword at the clouds above and shouted in a deep voice, "Who goes there?"
Is there someone in the clouds?
Upon seeing this, everyone instinctively looked up at the sky.
In mid-air, the swirling air currents rolled and surged like the waves of a vast ocean, obscuring the view above.
No sooner had the grumpy old man finished speaking than a sarcastic voice rang out, "Kid, are you going to reveal your hand to so many low-level bastards?"
Hearing the sound coming from the clouds, everyone present showed a look of shock.
What level of cultivation does he possess that allows him to remain hidden in mid-air for so long without being discovered?
It's one thing if no one else noticed, but even seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm didn't notice?
Everyone looked at the irritable old man, whose expression changed. With a whoosh, he flew back to Elder Ma and the others in red, staring warily at the clouds in the sky.
The group slowly walked out, especially the two, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, who were able to walk with an air of nonchalance even in mid-air, which made Yang Zhen envious.
This is the right way to make an entrance!
While everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the red-robed elder and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed, " Celestial Phenomenon Realm!"
Swish swish swish...
In the blink of an eye, all seven experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm vanished, leaving only Wan Quan, barely clinging to life, staring blankly at the seven Heavenly Cycle Realm experts who had almost disappeared, utterly bewildered.
