Chapter 995: Chapter 1022: Doesn’t it just look like love? (First update) Chapter 995: Chapter 1022: Doesn’t it just look like love? (First update) “`
“Going overboard is impossible; just look at that young girl’s shock and regretful gaze after being startled. Doesn’t it look just like love?”

These cliches that have been played out on the blue planet are, in this world, unprecedented. And isn’t it like a pitfall every single time?”

In midair, the violent storm was so fierce it almost blew the surrounding heaven and earth into chaos. Although the three contemptible cats had not come down, they knew what Yang Zhen was doing but looked at Lin Dong, who was crying his heart out, with surprise in their eyes.

Yang Zhen walked up to Lin Dong, patted his shoulder, and said, “Young Master, cry if you want to. After you’ve cried, straighten your back. You still have a long road ahead of you; take your time, there’s no need to rush.”

The group of people from Tianle Holy Land wore expressions of shock and uncertainty. It wasn’t a matter of taking action; they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly. The mere presence of Yang Zhen was enough to scare someone to death, and the terrifying aura emanating from him sent shivers down their spines. Plus, with the gigantic Heaven Devouring Beast in the sky, all the people present combined wouldn’t be enough for it to bite down on. In such circumstances, who would dare to say another word?

The woman beside Han Wushuang cried even harder at this, drawing nothing but contempt from Yang Zhen, who thought to himself that every world has women like her.

Yang Zhen seldom values a person highly. At the Nether State Convention, Liu You was a practitioner whom Yang Zhen favored just by hearing the name. However, due to limited vision and experience, he surely wouldn’t be able to grow much in the future. Now Lin Dong was another person who definitely would go much further than Liu You.

Indeed, Lin Dong did not disappoint Yang Zhen. He managed to hold back his sobbing, wiped his face, and with a grin that couldn’t be uglier, said to Yang Zhen, “Let’s go!”

Then, without looking back, he was ready to leave!

The contemptible cat watched from atop the Heaven Devouring Beast in bafflement, his eyes nearly popping out when he heard Yang Zhen actually call someone a young master. His face was full of bewilderment, clearly indicating that even this creature, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had never seen such a maneuver and didn’t understand what Yang Zhen was up to.

Seeing Lin Dong about to walk away, the group from Tianle Holy Land all heaved a sigh of relief secretly. But at that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly chuckled and said, “Hold on, Young Master!”

Lin Dong shuddered, turned around, and with calm, said to Yang Zhen, “Is there something else?”

Yang Zhen was increasingly satisfied with Lin Dong’s performance. It was a shame for someone not to aim for an Oscar with such a high talent for acting.

Leaving in the middle of an act was never Yang Zhen’s style. If he were to act, he must see it through. And after performing for so long without asking for a benefit, that certainly wasn’t like him.

A fierce, tiger-like expression appeared on Yang Zhen’s face as he glared at Han Wushuang and others and said, “Insulting my young master must come with a price.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone’s faces registered astonishment.

A flicker of panic crossed Lin Dong’s eyes, causing Yang Zhen to shake his head. His state of mind still wasn’t stable. Did they think he, Sao Saint, would demand compensation from these people if he couldn’t beat them?

Yang Zhen glared fiercely at Han Wushuang and, without waiting for Han Wushuang and the others to speak, glared and said, “Now that you know my young master’s identity, it’s time to settle the score for bullying him. Everyone, listen up, it’s robbery time! Line up, men on the left, women on the right, and those who are neither in the middle!”

After Yang Zhen’s words, everyone felt an indescribable mix of terror and absurdity.

God my sister, so you know the identity of your young master. If you want us to know your young master’s identity, then announce it!

Robbery time?

In all the heavens and earth, which Sacred Land’s heritage would stoop to robbing others?

The group from Tianle Holy Land exchanged blank glances, utterly clueless about what to do next.

“`
Han Wushuang’s face flickered with anger as he pointed at Yang Zhen and said, “Don’t push people too far. Our Tianle Holy Land is a legacy from thirty-thousand years ago and has just recently made its appearance. It surely hasn’t come to the world’s attention yet, otherwise, how could you be so presumptuous?”

Upon hearing Han Wushuang’s words, the faces of everyone from the Tianle Holy Land turned green, wishing they could rush up and cover Han Wushuang’s mouth.

Damn it, if it’s a robbery, let it be. Perhaps there’s a Sacred Land’s legacy that appreciates this style. Besides, with the terrifying Heaven Devouring Beast in the sky, not to mention robbing property, even if it were kidnapping people, could anyone present utter a word of refusal?

The old man beside Han Wushuang hurriedly pulled him to the side, then, realizing something wasn’t right, forcefully pushed Han Wushuang back to his original spot and ran to the other side himself, glaring at Yang Zhen and snorting coldly, “The Tianle Holy Land would rather be killed than insulted. Young friend, if you dare, reveal your name. My Tianle Holy Land will certainly pay a visit one day.”

Stubborn as a mule, Yang Zhen watched them with amused marvel and couldn’t be bothered to waste time with these old fools who had lived too long. He said lazily, “This Sao Saint here is the Bright Left Envoy of Gao’s Manor. Oh right, you might not have heard of Gao’s Manor, but you’ve heard of Dust-Free Domain, haven’t you?”

What?

After hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Han Wushuang exclaimed in shock, “Impossible, the Dust-Free Domain is only ten days west of here. I’ve been there. How come I never heard of any Gao’s Manor in that place?”

“There are many places you haven’t heard of; quit the nonsense and hand over the storage rings quickly, or I’ll beat you to death!” Yang Zhen threatened like a bully intimidating children.

Han Wushuang shuddered and, cursing under his breath, yanked off the three rings from his fingers and threw them to Yang Zhen.

The other ten-plus people didn’t dare to delay either and handed over everything removable on them to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen collected the items nonchalantly and waved his hand, saying, “Alright, you can all leave now.”

Han Wushuang glared with wide eyes at Yang Zhen and demanded, “Bright Left Envoy, is it? What’s your name?”

Without turning back, Yang Zhen casually replied, “I am Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, from the Guanjiangkou!”

“You–” Han Wushuang was about to speak when the elder beside him pulled him away, mounting a sword and flying off with a speed akin to a rabbit.

After the Tianle Holy Land’s people had left, Yang Zhen started to marvel at his spoils of war. Damn, the Tianle Holy Land truly lived up to its Great Desolation legacy–the treasures they surrendered were exceptional. Had he known these folks were so wealthy, he would have robbed a few more Sacred Land legacies.

Lin Dong, supporting his grandfather, came before Yang Zhen, knelt down with a thud, and humbly said, “Friend Yang Jian, your great kindness will never be forgotten. From now on, Lin Dong will be at your service, to toil like an ox or horse!”

Yang Zhen was taken aback, looking at the earnest Lin Dong and said irritably, “Did this Sao Saint stuff himself and come all this way to save a beast of burden? Get lost, cultivate diligently, and when you assault the Tianle Holy Land in the future, don’t forget the words you’ve just spoken.”

Lin Dong was stunned, biting his lip while staring intensely at Yang Zhen, with blood quickly flowing down his chin. He nodded fiercely, respectfully kowtowed to Yang Zhen, and then turned to leave.

“Wait!” Yang Zhen squatted on the ground without turning back and casually tossed a storage ring to Lin Dong, saying, “Take these, be more cautious in the future.”

Lin Dong didn’t refuse; it was obvious he knew what the storage ring meant to him.

After the two had left, the wretched cat jumped down from the back of the Heaven Devouring Beast, sniffed around, then suddenly picked up a disk and asked curiously, “What is this?”

Yang Zhen turned back and upon seeing the disk in the wretched cat’s hand, was startled for a moment before breaking into a grin.

This young fellow Lin Dong is truly commendable!
