When Yang Zhen got close to the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, he almost burst out laughing.
Huo Lian and the others stared blankly at the node, unsure of what to do. Granny Gu, in particular, wore an expression of utter disbelief, her exasperated demeanor making Yang Zhen hesitant to approach, fearing that the old woman might sacrifice him to the heavens in a fit of pique.
Seeing that the four people's gazes had instantly shifted to him, Yang Zhen cautiously walked up to them and said with a smile, "Four seniors, I'm here to help."
A hint of impatience flashed across Granny Gu's face as she stared at Yang Zhen and said, "All the restrictions have been broken; I can feel it. But why is there still one node that hasn't moved? To obtain the inheritance inside the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, this node must be broken. Can you see if you can unlock it?"
Yang Zhen squatted in front of the node for a long time, and this time he wasn't pretending, because he didn't know how to solve the node or what would happen after solving it.
Huo Lian, who was rather impatient, saw that Yang Zhen hadn't said a word for a while and immediately urged, "Boy, can you untie it?"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, glanced at Huo Lian, and said, "It can be untied, but there seems to be something strange here; the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin isn't complete!"
"What?" Granny Gu's expression changed, clearly showing some anger, and she stared at Yang Zhen, saying, "What do you mean the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin is incomplete?"
The Second Elder snorted coldly, instinctively stepping behind Yang Zhen Yang Zhen to block his path. He said in a cold voice, "The four of us have gone to so much trouble, only to end up with an incomplete coffin. Boy, if you don't have an excuse that can convince us, none of the three of you will leave here today, and the Shangyuan Sect... will have no reason to exist."
Yang Zhen glanced at the Second Elder, cursing inwardly. It wasn't that Yang Zhen intentionally kept quiet; he had just discovered that although the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin restriction and the restriction at this juncture seemed to lead to the same goal, they were not exactly the same. The complex variations had almost confused Yang Zhen.
The Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin is not a complete Nine Dragons Coffin, or rather, this restriction is not a complete restriction. To completely open this restriction, an extremely cold and yin treasure of heaven and earth is needed.
After hearing Yang Zhen's explanation, Granny Gu's expression relaxed slightly. She snorted and said, "Boy, I've experienced this before. It's probably a test left by these predecessors to prevent future generations from destroying the inheritance. It's not your fault. I just want to know if you can figure out what else the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin needs to open?"
The two people who followed Yang Zhen in, Shameless Cat and Han Yan'er, were taken aback, especially Shameless Cat, who walked up to Yang Zhen and asked in surprise, "Do you need anything else?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, " The Nine Dragons Great Saint should not be dead!"
"What?" The Shameless Cat was startled, hiding behind Yang Zhen and looking at the Nine Dragons Coffin with amazement. After a long while, it said, "What a magnificent Nine Dragons Coffin that seizes the creation of heaven and earth! You're right, the Nine Dragons Great Saint is indeed not dead, but now it's no different from being dead. If we can't find an extremely cold and yin treasure within five days, let alone the Nine Dragons Coffin, no one will be able to obtain the inheritance inside."
A flash of anger crossed Granny Gu's face as she stared at the Nine Dragons Coffin and said, "I do have extremely cold and yin things, but what does Senior Nine Dragons need these things for?"
"Resurrection!"
Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, glancing at Granny Gu. Sure enough, he saw the pale expression on Granny Gu's face before grinning and saying, " Granny Gu, now that things are clear, I don't have any extremely cold and yin treasures of heaven and earth, and I'm afraid none of you would carry such dangerous things with you. Now that I'm done, can I leave?"
Damn it, after all that effort, this Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin has actually tricked everyone.
However, Yang Zhen; the inheritance inside the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin was definitely something extraordinary.
After all, the inheritance that can only be obtained by placing an extremely cold and precious treasure of heaven and earth into the Nine Dragons Coffin, and which is also related to whether the Nine Dragons Great Saint can be resurrected, how could such an inheritance be ordinary?
Even the most precious treasures of heaven and earth are valuable, okay?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Granny Gu not only showed no anger, but instead burst into laughter, saying, "Heaven is on my side! I don't care about the resurrection of the Nine Dragons Great Saint. This inheritance is absolutely the most precious thing the Nine Dragons Great Saint possessed in his life, and only it is worthy of his life and fortune."
At this point, Granny Gu suddenly revealed a playful expression, looking at Yang Zhen and saying, "Boy, it's not that I'm going back on my word, but it seems that only you can decipher the Nine Dragons Coffin. Even I, who have studied ancient inheritances all my life, am far inferior to you in this regard. Do you think we'll let you leave before we obtain the Nine Dragons Great Saint's inheritance?"
Hearing Granny Gu's words, Yang Zhen's heart sank completely. He straightened his neck and was about to fight the four old men to the death.
Damn it, if I had known those four old bastards wouldn't let him go so easily, I would have made things even worse for him. At least I would have felt better when I got beaten up later.
Yang Zhen stared at Granny Gu, glanced at the other three old men with sneer on their faces, and walked silently to the two women, Shameless Cat and Han Yan'er. With a bang, he hoisted out the Great Deficiency Sword and said to the four Half-Step Great Saint, "If I had known we were going to fight, I wouldn't have wasted so much breath on you. This Sage of Saunter's mouth is dry from talking so much."
"You... what did you say?" Granny Gu looked bewildered, staring at Yang Zhen with a puzzled expression.
The other three Half-Step Great Saint also looked bewildered, completely taken aback by Yang Zhen's sudden remark.
Everyone around nearly had their hearts jump out of their chests at Yang Zhen's sudden appearance. Seeing that Yang Zhen was actually going to fight four Half-Step Great Saint, everyone gasped and desperately ran away.
They're actually going to fight?
These are four Half-Step Great Saint! A single slap from each of them could easily kill an innocent bystander. At this moment, who would dare to get too close to Yang Zhen?
Although Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen were puzzling, seeing him take out the Saint Weapon, Granny Gu and the others immediately understood what Yang Zhen was planning. They looked at each other in bewilderment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Especially Granny Gu, whose big smile turned into a sneer, stared at Yang Zhen and said, "Boy, do you think you're qualified to fight any of the four of us?"
Yang Zhen spat and said, "Which one of you four? Haven't you heard the saying?"
"What are you saying?" Huo Lian's face showed impatience. If it weren't for Granny Gu talking to Yang Zhen, he would have slapped Yang Zhen to death long ago.
Hearing Yang Zhen's arrogant words, Huo Lian seemed to finally lose his temper and stepped forward, signaling him to deal with Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen showed no sign of panic. Instead, he turned his gaze to Huo Lian, grinned, and said, "Only children make choices. I won't choose any of you four old Sage of Saunter. Come at me all at once and see if you can kill Sage of Saunter!"
"Arrogant!"
The four men were enraged, their faces filled with murderous intent. They stared at Yang Zhen, about to speak, when Yang Zhen suddenly stomped heavily on the ground.
The entire Nine Dragons Sparrow Terrace seemed to come alive, bursting forth with boundless power. In mid-air, it was as if dragons and sparrows were crying out, and the terrifying clouds swirled and churned, resembling boiling magma in the Nine Nether Purgatory.
It exploded!
The entire barrier was completely destroyed!
"Impossible! How... how could you possibly control the restrictions here!" Granny Gu's face showed disbelief as she stared at Yang Zhen in horror.
Yang Zhen's ability to control the restrictions here certainly surprised everyone, but what surprised them even more was that if Yang Zhen could control the restrictions, then breaking them would be a piece of cake.
Then imagine those three Half-Step Great Saint yelling at the top of their lungs, either calling themselves big stupid donkeys or big idiots...
Oh my, every single one of the thousands of people present had their eyes fixed on the four Half-Step Great Saint with strange expressions.
The four Half-Step Great Saint did not disappoint. Their faces turned ashen, and their mouths trembled with anger. Huo Lian, in particular, trembled so much that saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.
This situation can only mean one thing: everything before was Yang Zhen's doing. It wasn't some senior joking around; it was Yang Zhen playing tricks on the four Half-Step Great Saint!
" Yang Zhen, you brat... you're asking for death!"
roar--!
The Huo Lian erupted completely, and the entire world seemed to be enveloped by a devastating wave of fire.
The Shameless Cat's face turned pale instantly. It clung tightly to Yang Zhen's head and let out a strange cry, "Digging grass is so scary, kid, what do we do?"
