Chapter Summaries

Yang Zhen discovered that opening the Nine Dragons Coffin required an extremely yin-cold heavenly treasure to revive the Nine Dragons Great Saint, and Granny Gu refused to let him leave. When the four Half-Step Great Saints challenged him, Yang Zhen revealed he controlled the Nine Dragons Sparrow Terrace restriction and set it off, enraging Huo Lian.

• Yang Zhen told Granny Gu that the Nine Dragons Coffin was incomplete and needed an extremely yin-cold heavenly treasure to open.
• Shameless Cat said the Nine Dragons Great Saint was not truly dead and needed the treasure within five days for resurrection.
• Granny Gu refused to let Yang Zhen leave before he helped obtain the inheritance, so he stepped in front of Shameless Cat and Han Yan'er and drew the Great Deficiency Sword.
• Yang Zhen challenged all four Half-Step Great Saints to attack him together, then stamped the ground and triggered the Nine Dragons Sparrow Terrace restriction.
• Granny Gu realized Yang Zhen had controlled the restriction and made fools of the four elders, and Huo Lian erupted in fury as Shameless Cat clung to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen escaped Huo Lian and the other Half-Step Great Saints by using the Nine Dragons Sparrow Terrace’s restrictions, then entered the Nine Dragons Coffin with Han Yan'er and the Shameless Cat. The four pursuers believed he had gone to his death and withdrew from the terrace.

• Yang Zhen asked whether a Heaven-Swallowing Hou or a Chiding Dragon was stronger, and Shameless Cat said even a Chiding Dragon would flee from the Hou.
