Chapter 994: Chapter 1021: Seems like I never installed a head! (Third update) Chapter 994: Chapter 1021: Seems like I never installed a head! (Third update) A pair of grandparents and grandchildren, carrying a family heirloom, were darted about, attracting the attention of the people from Tianle Holy Land.

The situation was simple, and it all came down to how both parties would conduct themselves. Yang Zhen felt that, under the great changes of the world, with various forces emerging, it was better to keep a low profile without knowing each other’s backgrounds.

However, the scene unfolding before him showed the people from Tianle Holy Land obviously had no idea what keeping a low profile meant. They were haughty and arrogant, and when facing the grandfather and grandson, it was as if the words “I am the boss” were written on their foreheads.

Yang Zhen watched with interest until the girl said something.

Perhaps it was a reaction to the unwillingness and endurance in young Lin Dong’s eyes, but the girl’s eyes grew darker with disdain as she pointed at him and said, “Uncle Niu, go break both his legs, destroy his dantian and consciousness, I really want to see how much more he can endure.”

Hearing this, the expression on the young man’s face finally showed terror, and his face turned pale as he fixated on the girl, trying several times to charge at her in desperation.

The elder, who was only at Divine Transformation Stage in cultivation, showed anger on his face after hearing her words and let out a tragic bellow, “Han Wushuang, do not push us too far. We were merely passing through and you happened to inquire about the item we carry, demanding to purchase it forcefully. This item is an heirloom for my grandson and me to acknowledge our ancestry, it’s of no use to you, why be so aggressive?”

The girl named Han Wushuang sneered and said, “Whether it’s useful or not is not for you to decide. Let me ask you one last time, will you sell it or not?”

The elder’s face flickered with grief and rage, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Dong’s complexion changed again, he pulled at the elder and said, “Grandfather, we can’t sell it!”

Upon hearing this, the last bit of color drained from the elder’s face; turning around, he managed to force a smile, shaking his head, and said, “Child, remember, life is precious and you only have one. You must preserve your life to survive and have a future filled with possibilities. Our Sacred Clan, even if reduced to a single person, still carries Imperial Blood. You must survive no matter what.”

With determination on his face, the elder took out a Full Moon Cloud Disk, his expression full of reluctance, but his gaze was fixed firmly on Han Wushuang. He spoke, “Tianle Holy Land, after all, is an inheritance from the era of the Great Desolation. Bullying us, a pair of destitutes, if word gets out, would surely tarnish your reputation. We are just fallen people. After we give you this Cloud Disk, may we please leave?”

Han Wushuang’s face lit up with surprise, she laughed heartily, the malice in her expression growing more pronounced. Despite her young age, her eyes were full of sinister and malicious intent. Staring at the Cloud Disk in the elder’s hand, she said, “Sorry, Tianle Holy Land has never tolerated endless troubles. But don’t worry, there’s no one else here, so even if we kill you both, word won’t get out, let alone any loss of dignity. ”
“You!”

Enraged by the words, the elder spat out a mouthful of blood and erupted into a violent aura, his Spirit Soul flaring intensely.

“Grandfather!”

Lin Dong’s face flashed with despair, his eyes gradually turning blood red, “Han Wushuang, if I, Lin Dong, do not perish today, I will ensure your Tianle Holy Land suffers destruction!”

Roar!

Lin Dong, too, released a violent surge of energy, his gaze fixed tightly on a young woman next to Han Wushuang. He spoke each word pointedly, “And you, do you truly intend to abandon me?”

Han Wushuang seemed to thoroughly enjoy this feeling, and far from being wary, laughed even harder. Turning to another young woman beside her, she said, “Do you see this? This is your childhood friend Lin Dong. All this talk of being an Emperor’s descendant, acknowledging ancestors, under the current upheaval of the world, anyone without the protection of a Sacred Land becomes nothing but a lower-grade waste. Life and death are predestined, isn’t it high time you stopped trying to take control?”

Yang Zhen, taken aback, only then noticed there was another young woman next to Han Wushuang, tears flowing down her cheeks as she struggled with an expression of agony.

It was betrayal by a childhood friend, indeed!

Yang Zhen had been puzzled as to why the grandfather and grandson would casually reveal such an important ancestral treasure. After seeing the childhood friend, Yang Zhen understood completely.

Betrayal, stark betrayal, which was the one plot Yang Zhen liked the least!

Indeed, the young woman let out a piercing scream, “Lin Dong, are you still so stubborn to this point? Following you, I have no hope. You can’t even provide the most basic resources for cultivation; how am I supposed to continue by your side?”

Lin Dong staggered, his eyes blood-red, staring contemptuously at a man beside Han Wushuang, who had taken the young woman into his arms.

Witnessing this melodramatic scene, Yang Zhen simply could not watch any longer, feeling as though his eyes were about to sprout needles.

Before the young man could speak, Yang Zhen’s body suddenly erupted with a heaven-shattering, earth-destroying burst of fury, his aureate energy waves soaring as behind him the Qiongqi Heavenly Void roared furiously, its sound thunderous and deafening.

After leaping down from the tree, Yang Zhen fixed his gaze on the blood-red in Lin Dong’s eyes, sighed, and took step by step towards Lin Dong.

The appearance of Yang Zhen startled everyone present. A dozen Practitioners from Tianle Holy Land cried out in shock, looking at Yang Zhen uneasily, their faces filled with apprehension.

How could those present not be shocked by such a terrifying aura emanating from someone at the Celestial Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer?

As Yang Zhen’s imposing presence became overwhelming, even the arrogant Han Wushuang, who used to look down on everybody, choked on his words, his eyes flickering with fear, and he stared at Yang Zhen in complete disarray.

Lin Dong and the elder had already ignited their Spirit Souls. Seeing Yang Zhen, their faces showed surprise, but they could not hide the despair on their faces.

Even if Yang Zhen’s cultivation reached the heavens, even if Yang Zhen intended to rescue them, even if Yang Zhen could take on ten and kill all the people from Tianle Holy Land, he couldn’t save the two whose Spirit Souls were burning.

However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yang Zhen walked up to the grandfather and grandson as if no one else was present, stretched out his hands, and patted their shoulders. The blazing flames of their burning Spirit Souls were extinguished just like that.

At the sight of this unbelievable scene, Han Wushuang and the others were completely dumbfounded, their faces a picture of panic and confusion.

Even Lin Dong and the elder wore shocked expressions, staring at Yang Zhen in amazement. They opened their mouths, but were at a loss for words.

“Who… who are you?” After mustering up his courage, Han Wushuang hid behind an elder of Tianle Holy Land and stared at Yang Zhen as he asked with an outwardly fierce, but inwardly timid gaze.

Yang Zhen glanced back at Han Wushuang and, without answering his question, turned to Lin Dong and respectfully said, “Young Master, I’m here to take you home!”

Well, that’s how the bluff should be played, right?

“What?” Han Wushuang’s eyes nearly popped out in disbelief, his face full of ludicrous expressions: “Who on earth are you?”

Not just Han Wushuang, even Lin Dong and his grandfather were completely bewildered, clearly not understanding what was happening.

With his back to Han Wushuang and the others, Yang Zhen winked at Lin Dong. After turning around, he wore a frosty expression and said to the young woman next to Han Wushuang, “Some people, for an invisible candy, throw away the treasures of the whole world, truly, there is something pathetic about those deserving of hatred… And you!”

Yang Zhen glared at Han Wushuang and said, “Is Tianle Holy Land really that great? Damn, so young yet so vile and spiteful. Take care your affairs don’t sour. What are you glaring at? If you’re so capable, come bite me, see if I’m afraid of you.”

“No, it can’t be…” The young woman trembling in the young man’s arms wore an almost mad expression, staring at Yang Zhen: “It’s impossible, Lin Dong has fallen to the point where only the two of them are left, nobody would come to take him home, you’re fake, you’re fake, right? He couldn’t possibly have the backing of a Sacred Land.”

“Sacred Land inheritance?” Yang Zhen smiled broadly and said to the young woman, “Sacred Land inheritance is nothing. Your vision is just that limited. As for whether I’m fake, just open your narrow eyes wide and take a good look. The power and wealth behind my Young Master is not something a frog in a well like you could understand.”

Saying so, Yang Zhen whistled into the air. Moments later, from the heavens above, a colossal being descended.

Roar–!

How terrifying is the roar of a Heaven Devouring Beast?

The entire forest shook!

The people of Tianle Holy Land and Lin Dong’s grandfather and grandson, who had just begun to regain some color, turned pale once again, their faces filled with horror as they looked at the Heaven Devouring Beast that blotted out the sky, their legs shaking.

“Young Master, is our mount to your liking?” Yang Zhen’s indolent voice rang out as the crowd swallowed hard.

Lin Dong burst into his grandfather’s embrace with a cry, sobbing heartbreakingly!

This gut-wrenching weeping left Yang Zhen puzzled; it’s not like he had put on an act. Was he that moved?
