"Who is it?" Yang Zhen asked the Shameless Cat with a curious look on his face, "Which Saint Realm expert wants to see me, and what does he want?"
The Shameless Cat shook its head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either. I'm afraid only the Nine Dragons in the entire White Cloud Mountain, no, the entire Youzhou Continent, know who is looking for you and why. But generally speaking, Saint Realm experts are all eccentric individuals, so we'd better be careful."
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, nodded seriously, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Saint Realm experts are truly terrifying. Even now, I still can't fathom just how profound the aura of the Nine Dragons Great Saint truly is."
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only the Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, as if something was amiss. This cautious and timid personality was nothing like Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen really decided to be careful, so she decided to take the Heaven-Swallowing Hou with her to the Central Court.
In any case, since the Nine Dragons Great Saint has already dealt with the Great You Dynasty, in the current Cultivation World, no force dares to disrespect a Saint Realm expert. Therefore, since the Nine Dragons Great Saint can leave alone with peace of mind, the Great You Dynasty will at least be peaceful for a while.
Moreover, Yang Zhen could sense that the Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array of the Shangyuan Sect seemed to have been modified. Apart from him and the Nine Dragons Great Saint, no one else in the entire White Cloud Mountain could have made such a change.
Clearly, the Nine Dragons Great Saint was quite considerate; after taking Chiding Dragon away, he changed the formation for the Shangyuan Sect, making it even safer.
When Shameless Cat, Han Yan'er, and Hua Youyue heard that Yang Zhen was going to take the Heaven-Swallowing Hou to the Central Court, they were all taken aback. Shameless Cat, in particular, looked excited and asked, "Kid, are you sure you want to take the Heaven-Swallowing Hou with you?"
Yang Zhen nodded, then asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem?"
The Shameless Cat cackled and said, "No problem, what problem could there be? But you surely know that once that Heaven-Swallowing Hou appears in the Central Court, it will cause a commotion in most of the Central Court. At that time, everyone will know that you, Yang Zhen, have come to the Central Court. Do you think that Saint Realm expert will find out?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback. That was indeed a problem, but so what? How could he change the decision made by this Sage of Saunter?
Seeing the mocking look on that Shameless Cat's face, if even that bastard isn't afraid, why would this Sage of Saunter be afraid?
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength won't allow it. The Nine Dragons Great Saint has already left. If we don't have a decent mount, by the time we get to the Central Court, the Samsara Bell will probably have already been stolen."
Hua Youyue frowned and looked at Yang Zhen, asking, "Are you really alright?"
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Of course it's alright. There's a saying in our village: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Right now, we only know that a Saint Realm expert is looking for trouble with me, but we have no idea who this guy is or why he's looking for trouble with me. So why don't we just lure him out of his hole, invite him into the trap, and then it'll just be a matter of catching a turtle in a jar?"
"Damn it!" The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with Celestial Person and said, "Kid, is this what you say from your village?"
"That's for sure!"
Yang Zhen beamed with pride when talking about his village.
"Awesome! Awesome!"
I'm so ashamed!
Three days later, on the border of the Youzhou Continent, a huge, terrifying figure flew across the sky, roaring deafeningly.
The Heaven-Swallowing Hou has a huge mouth, seemingly capable of swallowing everything in the world, especially its ferocious appearance and the enormous tail behind it, which looks terrifying.
Yang Zhen and the other two, atop the Heaven-Swallowing Hou, pointed to a mountain peak not far ahead and said, "Beyond this peak lies the location of the Central Court."
The Shameless Cat nodded and asked curiously, "Kid, do you know where Dustless Territory is?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Didn't the Nine Dragons Great Saint tell you?"
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er looked at each other, even more bewildered than the Shameless Cat, and all three of them focused their attention on Yang Zhen.
A look of bewilderment flashed across Yang Zhen's face as he said, "We're doomed! That unreliable Nine Dragons Great Saint only said he'd be waiting for us in the Dustless Territory, but couldn't he at least explain what kind of place the Dustless Territory is?"
At this point, Yang Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Wait here for a moment, there seem to be quite a few people ahead, I'll go ask for directions."
The Shameless Cat lazily lay down on the Heaven-Swallowing Hou and said, "Go and come back quickly. If that Saint Realm expert comes, we won't be able to handle it."
Yang Zhen stomped on the Shameless Cat's belly, making it Shameless Cat and almost stick its tongue out.
On the mountain peak ahead, there were indeed many cultivators, but they were all at the Spirit Transformation Realm and Celestial Phenomenon Realm stage, and their cultivation levels were not high.
After concealing his Blood Qi, Yang Zhen leaped down like an ordinary person, landing on the mountaintop with a thud. He dusted himself off, revealed an innocent smile, and walked towards the nearest group of people.
As Yang Zhen got closer, he was stunned. A group of people were surrounding a grandfather and grandson, all of them looking unfriendly. The mocking and amused expressions on their faces seemed familiar to Yang Zhen.
"Damn, this is interesting. I haven't seen a plot like this in ages!"
Yang Zhen became interested, casually straightened his clothes, tidied his hair, and with a harmless and humble smile, walked step by step towards the group of people.
Among the crowd, the old man was only at the third level of the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm, similar to Lu Chenghui and the others. Behind him was a handsome young boy whose aura surprised Yang Zhen.
He looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, yet he had already reached the first level of the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm. With bright eyebrows and large eyes, he looked like a remarkable prodigy.
However, the two were in dire straits, their faces covered in dust and their bodies bearing several wounds. In particular, the expression on the boy's face reminded Yang Zhen of the saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential."
The way he gritted his teeth and silently endured it amazed Yang Zhen. This little guy is definitely going to be an extraordinary talent in the future!
Looking around at the group of people, there happened to be a girl about the same age as the boy. She was wearing a brocade hat and a fur coat, with a Saint Weapon at her waist. She looked arrogant and haughty, staring at the disheveled boy with disdain and disgust.
Seeing this familiar scene, Yang Zhen shook his head.
Throughout history and in any world, the principle of "the victor is king, the loser is villain" has always been an unchanging truth. If the boy and girl were to switch identities, the story might be entirely different.
The young girl stared at the boy with utter disgust on her face and said crisply, " Lin Dong, you're not the kind of lowly person who can say things like 'fortune turns like the wheel.' Even if my Heavenly Joy Holy Land gives you 30,000 years, what can you do?"
"Boy, I've long seen through your ill intentions, grandfather and grandson. Tell me, what exactly are you trying to steal by sneaking into my Heavenly Joy Holy Land?"
"Hand over what you have on you! How dare you lay a finger on the property of my Heavenly Joy Holy Land?"
A group of people were making sarcastic remarks one after another, having a great time. The boy bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes!
"These are our family heirlooms, why should we give them to you?"
The boy roared, his fists clenched, his face filled with defiance.
Yang Zhen climbed up a big tree and watched with great interest. Judging from the situation, this old man and his grandson really had some incredible treasure on them!
