Chapter 993: Chapter 1020: Haven’t Seen This Kind of Plot in a Long Time! (Second Update) Chapter 993: Chapter 1020: Haven’t Seen This Kind of Plot in a Long Time! (Second Update) “Who is it?” Yang Zhen’s face showed a look of curiosity as he stared at the cheap cat and asked, “Which Saint Realm powerhouse is looking for me, and what for?”

The cheap cat shook its head and said, “Don’t ask me; I wouldn’t know even if you did. I fear that across the whole White Cloud Mountain, no, across the entire Nether State continent, only Nine Dragons knows who’s looking for you and why. However, it’s generally true that the strong ones in the Saint Realm are all eccentric characters, so it’s better for us to be cautious.”

Yang Zhen took a deep breath, seriously nodded his head, and said in a deep voice, “Indeed, the powerhouses of the Saint Realm are truly terrifying. Up to this point, I still can’t fathom the depth of the aura of the Nine Dragons Great Saint.”

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except for the cheap cat, which gave Yang Zhen a strange look, as if it found something peculiar, for this extremely cautious nature didn’t seem to fit Yang Zhen at all.

Yang Zhen had truly decided to be careful, so he immediately decided to go to the Central Court with the Heaven Devouring Beast.

After all, since the Nine Dragons Great Saint had already given the Great Nether Dynasty a good thrashing, no power in the current world of cultivation would dare not to respect a Saint Realm powerhouse. Therefore, since the Nine Dragons Great Saint felt comfortable leaving alone, the Great Nether Dynasty would at least stay quiet for a while.

Moreover, Yang Zhen could sense that the Sky Spring Queyang Array of the Shangyuan Sect seemed to have been altered. This kind of alteration was something that no one other than he and the Nine Dragons Great Saint on White Cloud Mountain could fathom.

Clearly, the Nine Dragons Great Saint had shown considerable regard. After taking the Chilong away, he altered the formation for the Shangyuan Sect, making it even safer.

When the cheap cat, Han Yan’er, and Hua Youyue, heard that Yang Zhen was going to take the Heaven Devouring Beast to the Central Court, they were all shocked, especially the cheap cat, whose face showed an excited expression as it eagerly asked, “Kid, are you sure you want to bring the Heaven Devouring Beast with you?”

Yang Zhen nodded and asked in confusion, “Is there a problem?”

The cheap cat let out a strange cackle and said, “No problem, how could there be a problem? But you must be aware that once the Heaven Devouring Beast appears in the Central Court, it will surely shake up half of the Court. Then, everyone will know that Yang Zhen has arrived in the Central Court, and do you think that the Saint Realm powerhouse will know?”

Yang Zhen was taken aback. That indeed posed a problem, but so what? Could the decisions made by Sao Saint be changed on a whim?

Seeing the cheap cat with a teasing look, and even this scoundrel wasn’t afraid, how could Sao Saint be afraid?

Yang Zhen grinned and said, “I would like to keep a low profile, too, but my strength doesn’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 Reincarnation Clock might have already been taken by others.”

Hua Youyue frowned and asked Yang Zhen, “Are you sure it’s all right?”

Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “Of course, it’s all right. We have a saying back in our village, ‘To know your enemy and yourself, is to be victorious in every battle.’ Now, we only know that a Saint Realm powerhouse is looking for trouble with me, but we have no clue who this individual is, nor why they are seeking me out. So why not draw the snake out of the cave, then invite the noble into the pot, and after that, it would just be a matter of catching a turtle in a jar.”

“Holy moly!” The cheap cat looked at Yang Zhen with a look of amazed admiration and said, “Kid, are all these sayings from your village?”

“Of course they are!”

Talking about his village, Yang Zhen couldn’t hide his smugness.

“Impressive, impressive!”

“I am humbled!”

…

Three days later, on the boundary of the Nether State continent, a tremendous and terrifying figure swept across the sky, and its roar was deafening.

The mouth of the Heaven Devouring Beast was enormous, giving off the impression that it could devour all things in the world, particularly with its ferocious appearance and the enormous tail trailing behind it, which seemed to send shivers down one’s spine.

Yang Zhen and the others were on the back of the Heaven Devouring Beast, pointing at a mountain peak not far ahead, “Once we get past that peak, we’ll be at the location of the Central Court.”

The cheap cat nodded and asked curiously, “Kid, do you know where the Dust-Free Domain is?”

Yang Zhen was stunned and said in surprise, “The Nine Dragons Great Saint didn’t tell you?”

Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er also looked at each other in bewilderment, even more clueless than the cheap cat, and all three set their sights on Yang Zhen.

A bewildered expression flashed across Yang Zhen’s face as he said, “We’re screwed, that unreliable guy, the Nine Dragons Great Saint, just said to wait for us in the Dust-Free Domain, but what on earth is the Dust-Free Domain, couldn’t he be a bit more clear?”

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 up ahead, I’ll go ask for directions.”

The cheap cat lay lazily on the Heaven Devouring Beast and said, “Hurry back, if that Saint Realm powerhouse comes, we won’t be able to withstand them.”

Yang Zhen stepped on the cheap cat’s belly, causing it to howl in pain and almost spit out its tongue.

On the mountain peak ahead, there was indeed the presence of many practitioners, but they were all of the Divine Transformation Stage and Celestial Phase, not very high in realm.

After concealing the bloody aura on his body, Yang Zhen leaped down like an ordinary person, with a bang, landed on the mountaintop, patted the dirt off himself, and revealed a harmless smile, walking towards the closest group of people.

As he got closer, Yang Zhen was startled to see a group of people surrounding an old man and his grandson, all wearing grim expressions with a mocking and playful look that struck a familiar chord with Yang Zhen.

“Damn, this is getting interesting, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a storyline!”

Yang Zhen was intrigued, casually straightening his clothes and smoothing his hair, and with an inoffensive and modest smile, advanced step by step toward the crowd.

In the crowd, the old man had only reached the third level of the Divine Transformation Stage, roughly the same realm as Lu Chenghui and the others, followed by a young boy with clear features, whose fluctuating aura somewhat surprised Yang Zhen.

Looking to be merely thirteen or fourteen years old, the boy had already reached the first level of the Divine Transformation Stage, with bright eyes and bold eyebrows, a promising talent indeed.

However, their situation was grim; both were covered in dust and had several wounds, especially the boy’s expression, which reminded Yang Zhen of the proverb ‘Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west, do not bully the poor just because they are young.’
The gritted teeth and forced endurance, Yang Zhen found it remarkable–this youngster would definitely be an incredible talent in the future!

Looking at the surrounding group, there happened to be a girl of similar age to the boy, dressed in luxury with a sacred weapon at her waist, broadcasting arrogance and disdain as she looked down on the dirt-covered boy.

Seeing this familiar scene, Yang Zhen just shook his head.

Since ancient times, in every world, the principle of the victor being king and the loser being the bandit has been a constant truth; if the statuses of the boy and the girl were exchanged, it might have been a different story altogether.

The young girl, showing utmost disgust, said sharply to the boy, “Lin Dong, talk of fortunes reversing is not something the likes of you should utter. Even if my Tianle Holy Land gave you thirty thousand years, what could you do?”

“Kid, I’ve long noticed you and your grandfather being of ill intent. Speak up, what exactly did you sneak into my Tianle Holy Land to steal?”

“Hand over whatever you have on you. The belongings of my Tianle Holy Land are not something you can covet!”

The crowd jeered and mocked in turn, and the boy’s eyes were brimming with tears!

“These are our ancestral treasures, why should we give them to you?”

The boy roared, fists clenched, his face filled with defiance.

Yang Zhen climbed a large tree, watching with great interest. It seems that this grandparent-grandchild duo truly possess some extraordinary treasure!
