Chapter 1004: Chapter 1031 Oh no! Have we been discovered? (Part 1) Chapter 1004: Chapter 1031 Oh no! Have we been discovered? (Part 1) Over a dozen Saint Realm practitioners, even in today’s Central Court, constituted a tremendously strong force. Their joint arrival even drew a solemn expression on the faces of several Half-step Great Saints from the Dust-free Holy Land.

Among the Half-step Great Saints of the Dust-free Holy Land was an old crone with a sinister look. She appeared frail and elderly, holding a dragon staff. With a cold huff, she heavily tapped the staff on the ground and said, “Old friends have arrived, let us go up and greet them.”

An old man with a dark red complexion by her side burst into laughter and said, “These old folks receive their news timely. However, I wonder what they’re here for this time, are they planning to vie with the Saint Realm practitioners for the Reincarnation Clock?”

This was no laughing matter!

The old crone glanced at the red-faced Half-step Great Saint and shook her head, “It’s just rumors, the Reincarnation Clock wouldn’t appear in such a place. Perhaps the pinnacle Saint Realm practitioners had an epiphany while passing by.”

A middle-aged man beside the red-faced Half-step Great Saint said, “That shouldn’t be the case, when I saw the elder before, he had already been atop the peak for quite some time.”

“So, are you suggesting that the Saint Realm practitioners had a purpose for staying in this area?” The old crone showed a flash of surprise on her face and looked back towards the peak thoughtfully.

Nobody knew what anyone present was thinking. Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue were inconspicuous among the crowd, so Yang Zhen had no intention of leaving.

What a joke, leaving amidst such excitement. Even if he discovered the sect ruins mentioned by the Nine Dragons Great Saint, it would be less enjoyable. Yang Zhen certainly wasn’t about to leave.

When Xue Shou and others arrived at the site, the sun was almost setting, casting a grey haze everywhere that appeared like a sky filled with purple clouds, turning the entire land and mountain peaks a shade of purple-red.

“You old folks actually gathered together, it indeed took me by great surprise.”

The old crone approached them with a cheerful smile, stood in front of Xue Shou and his group, glanced at Xue Shou with an astonished look and said, smiling, “I didn’t expect Brother Xue to be here too.”

Xue Shou showed a forced smile that looked rather awkward and said, “It seems to be Bizarre Granny, Bizarre Granny isn’t in retreat at the Sacred Land, and has come to join the commotion?”

Bizarre Granny laughed heartily, having lost most of her teeth, yet speaking without flinching, “Even Bloodhand Butcher has joined the fray, if I were still in retreat, wouldn’t I miss out on some grand times?”

Kuang Yang laughed heartily and saluted, “Bizarre Granny is as vigorous as ever, undiminished by the years. However, I wonder what has occurred here. Is the fabled Saint Realm practitioner present?”

Bizarre Granny looked at Kuang Yang, surveying the surroundings, and asked, “Do you think a Saint Realm practitioner would be among these myriad beings?”

Kuang Yang’s expression changed and following Bizarre Granny’s gaze, he looked around and shook his head, “Certainly not here.”

Speaking, Kuang Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said, “Kuang is too rash, indeed forgetting Bizarre Granny’s nature. Even if a Saint Realm practitioner were here, I daresay Bizarre Granny wouldn’t tell us, right?”

Yang Zhen watched from the crowd, clicking his tongue in wonder. The interaction among these Half-step Great Saints really wasn’t friendly at all, were they about to squabble upon meeting?

Seeing the expression on Bizarre Granny’s face, which clearly showed she was ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, Yang Zhen took out three little stools from his storage ring and sat among the crowd to enjoy the show.

The mischievous cat, excited by the spectacle, plopped onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder and said, “Kid, got any sunflower seeds?”

Yang Zhen gave the cat a disdainful look and said, “Don’t draw too much attention. It’s good enough that you can sit; now you want sunflower seeds? Why don’t you get some skewers and a couple of drinks too?”

The cat frowned and said, “The esteemed one has indeed considered it, but the conditions simply do not allow.”

After hearing Kuang Yang’s words, Bizarre Granny snorted coldly and said, “It has always been like this. Whether or not the Saint Realm practitioner is here, what does it have to do with you, Kuang Yang? Even if I told you the Saint Realm practitioner was at the very peak, would you dare to go pay a visit?”

“What?”

Kuang Yang and the others’ faces changed color, especially Xue Shou, whose face was full of suspicion as he stared at the fog atop the summit, frowning and said, “I can’t sense the presence of any Saint Realm masters.”

Kuang Yang sneered and said to Bizarre Granny, “Bizarre Granny never lies, we know that much; you just don’t want to talk about certain things. Kuang thanks Bizarre Granny for informing me about the presence of a Saint Realm master. But is it true, as rumors say, that the Saint Realm master is searching for something?”

Upon hearing Kuang Yang’s words, all the Half-step Great Saints present showed a solemn look. If a Saint Realm master was searching for something, it was definitely a Heaven and Earth Treasure, perhaps even the rumored Reincarnation Clock.

If what the Saint Realm master sought was the Reincarnation Clock, then not to mention the many ordinary practitioners present, even the Half-step Great Saints here likely stood no chance.

Bizarre Granny looked at Kuang Yang and the others, squinting her eyes, and slowly said, “Whether or not he is searching for something, I do not know, but right now the Saint Realm master has entered a state of enlightenment, and clearly he’s not waking up anytime soon. Do you all intend to wait here with me?”

Kuang Yang was stunned, and gazing bewilderedly at the summit, he muttered to himself, “He has entered a state of enlightenment. That means no celestial changes will occur for a while, which is actually good news.”

With a Saint Realm master present, many Half-step Great Saints could quite accurately discern many instances.

Now that the Saint Realm master was in enlightenment at such a time, it was clear that even if celestial changes were to occur, it wouldn’t be anytime soon.

For a moment, many Half-step Great Saints harbored their own thoughts, all resting quietly beneath the summit.

Yang Zhen, finding it rather dull, turned to Cheapskate Cat and asked, “What exactly do you see as abnormal about this place?”

Cheapskate Cat cracked a smile and said, “Actually, it’s because this place is too normal, that’s why it seems abnormal.”

“What do you mean?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, his curiosity piqued as he surveyed the surroundings.

Cheapskate Cat drew a deep breath, looking around and said, “Although your skill in Earth Master Skill is merely passable, you can usually see through millennia of changes at a glance. What changes have occurred here?”

Yang Zhen felt a chill in his heart and asked with astonishment, “No changes?”

“Right, no changes whatsoever!” Cheapskate Cat nodded gravely.

Hearing this, Yang Zhen was completely taken aback!

A thousand years, and no changes whatsoever had occurred here–clearly, as Cheapskate Cat had said, it was too normal, thus it was extremely abnormal.

Just as Yang Zhen was about to stand up and see why no changes had happened to this place for a thousand years, a thunderous roar, startling the thousands present, burst forth.

“You despicable brat, how dare you show up here?”

A furious roar sounded, causing Yang Zhen to shiver all over. He looked up and was immediately dumbfounded.

This is bad!

Have I been discovered?
