The Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom was so shocked by the adorable rendition of "Learn to Meow" by the three elders of the Hua Household that he vomited blood, plunging the entire Hua Household into chaos.
Yang Zhen took advantage of the chaos, reaped some benefits, and hurriedly and furtively slipped away amidst the confusion.
The Grand Preceptor of the mighty Great Jiang Kingdom suddenly vomited blood and lost consciousness, shaking the Hua Household to their core. Panic gripped the city, and many had no idea what had happened. They only knew that the Great Jiang Kingdom Preceptor had come with his disciples and betrothal gifts to propose marriage, and they didn't know why he had suddenly vomited blood. If the Great Jiang Kingdom were to take the blame, how could the Raging Fire City possibly bear the consequences?
Yang Zhen didn't care whether Raging Fire City could withstand it; anyway, the fact that the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom vomited blood had nothing to do with him.
Yang Zhen could clearly see that the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom was acting disrespectfully, swooning over the adorable elders. Was he having a heart attack?
None of this concerns him; he wasn't running away at all, but rather making a strategic retreat!
At the gates of Raging Fire City, Yang Zhen swaggered over, greeted the city guards, and walked out in a proper manner.
" Yang Zhen, don't run!"
A shout suddenly rang out, and Yang Zhen turned and ran without looking back. The guards were still greeting Yang Zhen with bewildered expressions when they saw a cloud emerge from beneath Yang Zhen's feet and rush outwards.
"What are you all standing there for? Chase after them!" the guard captain roared, and hurriedly gave chase.
The other guards realized what was happening and hurriedly gave chase.
At the city gate, a group of the Golden Core Realm stage experts sped out and hurriedly flew on their swords towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen sensed a terrifying Golden Core Realm aura coming from behind him, and ran even faster.
The group of people behind them were dumbfounded. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't catch up. They were fast, but Yang Zhen was even faster. They couldn't keep up anymore, and Yang Zhen couldn't run anymore either. This gave everyone a sudden idea.
"Everyone, Yang Zhen has just condensed his Yuan Qi into a core, and he doesn't have much True Essence to squander like this. If we all keep chasing him diligently, we will definitely be able to catch up!"
One person ran, and a group of people chased. After running for an unknown amount of time, Yang Zhen cried out and fell into the valley and disappeared.
Everyone burst into laughter. " Yang Zhen is finished! Xiao Ji said we can have 50% of what he has. Don't hold back any of your Cultivation Method techniques or skills. We don't care if Yang Zhen lives or dies after we capture him, we just want that ring on his hand!"
Most of the city gate guards were not Golden Core Realm experts, and by now they had lost track of him. Most of them had returned to the city gate to continue guarding it, leaving only the Golden Core Realm experts who had initially chased Yang Zhen.
The others were overjoyed upon hearing this. It was said that the things Yang Zhen possessed had shaken the entire Hua Household, and even the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom was so angry that he vomited blood. Not only had he ruined Xiao Ji's violin, but he had also wasted a lot of good things.
After this news spread, a group of desperate criminals quickly gathered and, led by a White-Faced Scholar, found Yang Zhen's trail and chased him all the way here.
The group rushed into the valley with fervent enthusiasm, only to look around in bewilderment. Yang Zhen was nowhere to be seen, not even a trace of him.
"Impossible! I clearly saw Yang Zhen fall from mid-air into this valley. He must still be hiding somewhere. Search!"
The White-Faced Scholar said in a deep voice, then added with some unease, "Be careful not to act alone. Yang Zhen is extremely cunning; don't fall for his tricks!"
The crowd roared in agreement. In any case, Yang Zhen had too many good things on him to be consumed by one person alone. These desperate men knew the ways of the world best, and they gathered in groups of three or five to search for Yang Zhen's whereabouts in the valley.
But after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find it. The group of people gathered together in bewilderment, waiting for the White-Faced Scholar to speak.
"That's impossible! Did Yang Zhen turn into thin air?"
"He must still be here. Did any of you see him leave?"
"No, there was no fluctuation of energy after it fell. It must be hiding somewhere!"
"I didn't see it either!"
Everyone was talking at once, but none of them saw Yang Zhen escape from the valley.
Suddenly, the grass on a small hill in front of them bulged up, startling everyone. They jumped back hastily, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Yang Zhen emerged from under the grass and asked the bewildered group, "Are you looking for me?"
"Yang... Yang Zhen!"
"So you really didn't leave? You even dare to show up?"
"That's too cunning; it actually burrowed into the ground."
"Hand over the stuff right now!"
A group of people shouted at him, each unleashing a terrifying surge of the Golden Core Realm energy, staring at Yang Zhen with schadenfreude.
Yang Zhen looked at everyone and said with some disappointment, "Is this all there is? Why isn't Xiao Ji here?"
The White-Faced Scholar sneered and said, "If Xiao Ji had come, do you think you would still be alive? Actually, I admire you quite a bit. It's said that even the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom was so angry that he vomited blood. However... it's just that you have too many good things on you. Others may look down on you, but we won't."
Another man laughed loudly, pointing at Yang Zhen and saying, "We are all desperate men, we would go all out to kill even a child. Now there are more than a dozen Golden Core Realm experts here, so obediently hand over the ring you're wearing, and we'll give you a quick death."
Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Can people like you really be considered desperados?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's sarcastic words, the White-Faced Scholar and the others turned cold. Just as they were about to speak, they saw Yang Zhen suddenly unbutton his clothes.
Everyone was taken aback and couldn't help but look at the things hanging in Yang Zhen's arms.
Yang Zhen's body was covered with countless array plates, each emanating a terrifying and unstable violent aura, as if it could explode at the slightest touch.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Yang Zhen spat, "I was hoping to catch a big fish, but instead I got a bunch of shrimps and crabs chasing me, having a good time, huh? Come on, if you've got the guts, don't run away, let's see who kills whom!"
"You... you... you're insane!" The pale-faced White-Faced Scholar, seeing dozens of array plates on Yang Zhen's body, swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his face.
The White-Faced Scholar couldn't tell what was on these array plates, but that didn't stop him from sensing that if these things on Yang Zhen exploded, half the valley could probably be blown away.
That madman!
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone took a step back in unison, not daring to run away even if they wanted to.
Only then did the group snap out of their reverie about the good things Yang Zhen possessed. Thinking of all the extraordinary abilities Yang Zhen had displayed, they felt a chill run down their spines. And when they thought of Yang Zhen's infamous reputation as " Yang the Skinflint," their legs trembled.
At this point, who would dare to step forward?
Let alone going up, he didn't even dare to turn around and run away. What if Yang Zhen, that madman, chased him instead of others? That would be too damn frustrating.
In a one-on-one fight, no one present was afraid of Yang Zhen, but the things Yang Zhen carried made them all afraid.
For a moment, the entire valley fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared intently at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, fearing that he might actually do something rash and detonate the array plates on his body.
If there's any disturbance, you can turn and run immediately.
A cool breeze blew through the valley, and suddenly two or three crows took flight from the trees overhead, cawing shrilly.
Yang Zhen suddenly grinned, startling everyone.
"Done!" Yang Zhen laughed heartily, then took off chasing after the White-Faced Scholar: "Don't run, don't run if you dare! This is robbery time! Hand over everything you have, tell me your Cultivation Method arts techniques, and if you have a storage ring, hand it over. If you don't, I look down on you, you're really poor!"
Seeing Yang Zhen rushing towards them, everyone yelled and scattered in all directions, leaving only the bewildered pale-faced White-Faced Scholar behind, seemingly wondering why Yang Zhen was the first to chase after him.
At the same time, a loud hum suddenly came from around the valley, and a terrifying shockwave erupted around the valley, forming a huge barrier.
"The Six-Star Formation!" the White-Faced Scholar exclaimed. " Yang Zhen, have you really gone mad? Aren't you afraid we'll fight you to the death?"
"I'm scared! I'm afraid you'll turn around and run away!" Yang Zhen threw a punch at the White-Faced Scholar.
