Everyone was staring at Yang Zhen in stunned silence, and the only sound at the foot of the mountain was the coming and going of the gentle wind.
With just one punch, Yang Zhen had slain a void cultivator – and… he had goddamn scared away another one?
Looking at Elder Tie sprinting off faster than a rabbit, leaving a cloud of dust in his wake, everyone felt as if their brains couldn’t process what had just happened.
Since when was a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner this terrifying?
Hua Youyue stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief. Seeing him covered in blood, his arm trembling weakly by his side – yet still able to grin cheekily at her and ask her if he was handsome – she snapped, “Tend to your wounds already!” Yang Zhen let out a yelp and collapsed towards Hua Youyue. As he fell, he shot a playful, warning look at several Nascent Soul Stage practitioners in the crowd who seemed eager to make a move.
Color drained from their faces and they went silent before slinking off quietly. God, Yang Zhen was a nightmare – a mere thought was enough for him to sense it. When his eyes fell on them, it was enough to make their skin crawl. When Hua Youyue saw Yang Zhen collapsing, she gave a low cry and quickly reached out to support him. However, the Medicine Elder swooped in faster, rushing to Yang Zhen’s side, and quickly said, “Let me handle this!”
Hearing his voice, Hua Youyue let out a sigh of relief. Medicine Elder was proficient at handling injuries. If it was up to her, she knew she might have become flustered. As much as she wanted to help, she knew it was best to leave it to the Medicine Elder.
Hua Youyue watched as Yang Zhen, who was in the midst of collapsing, shifted his direction, deliberately avoiding Medicine Elder to fall towards her. She couldn’t help but chuckle in exasperation, it was clear as day that Yang Zhen was putting up an act.
Eventually, Yang Zhen was caught in a powerful grip by Medicine Elder, who muttered what sounded like ‘damn bastard’. Hua Youyue shot Yang Zhen a glare, finding it amusing. Yang Zhen’s little schemes could sometimes be as innocent as a child’s.
At this moment, however, the Medicine Elder was struggling to keep up, trying to stabilize him. Hua Youyue couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for him.
What astounded Hua Youyue even more was that Yang Zhen had single-handedly slain two void cultivators, and even scared one off.
It gave Hua Youyue an unreal feeling. Was this Yang Zhen the same young man who hadn’t even reached the Golden Core Stage before?
How long had it been? To have grown as formidable as this was almost unimaginable.
While the treacherous cat had disappeared, Yang Zhen had a sound sleep.
When he woke up, he was in a small inn at the edge of East Forest Island where Hua Youyue was watching him with a worried expression.
“What’s wrong? Has the sky fallen?”
Yang Zhen waved his hand in front of Hua Youyue’s face. Hua Youyue started, her graceful face flushed red, then she glared at Yang Zhen and growled, “You have the nerve to ask, it’s all because of you!”
What did I do?” Yang Zhen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
After taking down two old Void Cultivation Stage guys, he fell asleep. He only remembered that he had a peaceful night’s sleep, could he bear the responsibility just for sleeping?
Hua Youyue sighed and was about to speak when the door was pushed open. Medicine Elder crept in, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Yang Zhen sitting on the bed: “Well, young man, you finally woke up!”
Yang Zhen was even more puzzled, he asked, “What on earth has happened?
You both look like the sky is falling.”
Medicine Elder glared at him and spluttered, “How dare you say that, the sky didn’t fall, but you created a big hole in it.”
Yang Zhen looked down to his crotch in confusion – he didn’t remember anything standing erect while he is asleep. Besides, even if it did, it wouldn’t be able to create a hole in the sky – last time he checked it wasn’t that long.
Ignoring his bewilderment, Medicine Elder sat down beside him, chugged an entire pot of water before continuing, “Do you know what’s happening outside right now?”
Yang Zhen had half a mind to kick him. Had he not been brought up to respect the elderly, he would’ve given this old geezer a lesson about suspense-killing is disgraceful.
Luckily, the Medicine Elder knew when to stop, he clicked his tongue in admiration, “Now you are the famous one of East Forest Island.”
Yang Zhen chuckled, straightened his clothes and hair, and asked, “How big is it?”
Medicine Elder grimaced and replied with an exasperated smile, “Everyone on East Forest Island knows that you slaughtered the Dust Blood Great Sage, and even with the power of a Nascent Soul Stage, you killed the sect leader of’ Lunhai Sect and Elder Qu of the Dharma Gate. Moreover, you even scared off Elder Tie. Now, everyone is looking for you!”
Yang Zhen curled his lips, saying, “These folks are just gossip-lovers, completely idle, looking for me for what? They aren’t even wanting signatures, even if they found me, I wouldn’t see them.”
As he spoke, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered Elder Tie’s words, and he looked at Hua Youyue and asked, “Right, what about the Grandmaster you mentioned? Did you find him? What did he say?”
“Grandmaster Ma…” Hua Youyue looked slightly taken aback, shook her head and said, “You shouldn’t concern yourself with this matter, we’ll handle it.” Yang Zhen was taken aback and, squinting, he asked, “He’s not helping you?” When they were on Turtle Serpent Island, Hua Youyue had told Yang Zhen that they came to East Forest Island to find a Grandmaster Alchemist to seek a certain pill. It seemed that Elder Tie was really petty. Not going after him was already being quite generous, yet he didn’t appreciate the goodwill.
Actually, if Yang Zhen could have gone after him, he would not have let Elder
Tie go. Maybe then this matter would not have occurred.
That being said, it was because of him that this matter had arisen.
Yang Zhen was a brave and straightforward young man. Patting his chest, he said, “Don’t worry, trust me, I’ll solve this problem for you!”
Hua Youyue and Medicine Elder were both startled and said, “Don’t act rashly.” They had come to understand during this time that wherever Yang Zhen was, things would be chaotic. Now, Yang Zhen wanted to help solve this problem, but how was he going to do it?
Although Yang Zhen was very talented in other areas, pill refinement was not his forte, he couldn’t help them at all.
Nor was this a matter which could be resolved by a single alchemist.
Seeing their startled expressions, Yang Zhen was not pleased, he said earnestly, “Relax, I’ll just help solve your problem, I won’t cause unnecessary trouble. I’m always very discreet.”
“Stop!” Medicine Elder suddenly glared, “Don’t say another word, it makes me uneasy hearing it.”
Every time Yang Zhen claimed to be discreet, some great chaos always ensued, he wouldn’t stop until everything was completely stirred up.
Seeing them act so strangely, Yang Zhen was puzzled and asked, “What exactly is going on?”
Hua Youyue sighed deeply and glanced at Medicine Elder.
After hesitating for a while, Medicine Elder explained, “East Forest Island has its own Pill Commerce Association. For Changyue Tower to establish itself on East Forest Island, it had to operate for five years, preparing a six-star Life Spirit Pill. In order to prepare enough pills, we had to cooperate reluctantly with Grandmaster Ma, handing him the pill recipe…”
Yang Zhen uttered a surprised sound, “Are you guys stupid? How can you casually give this away?”
Hua Youyue let out a bitter smile, “We had no choice, only Grandmaster Ma had the best relationship with Changyue Tower and had once been their highest guest.”
“Am I the highest guest?” Yang Zhen curiously asked.
Medicine Elder nodded, “The highest guest of Changyue Tower is only three
people, you are one of them. This is beyond doubt.”
Yang Zhen responded with an “oh” and didn’t ask who the other person was,
but stared at them and asked, “Did he betray you?”
Hua Youyue and Medicine Elder shuddered, exchanged glances, and said bitterly, “Grandmaster Ma… he provided the Pill Commerce Association with both the pill recipe and the pills!”
“Damn!”
Yang Zhen’s eyes widened, “This dirty old man can really be so despicable.
Where is he now, you tell me, I’ll go have tea with him.”
“Yang Zhen!” Hua Youyue glared, smiling bitterly, “Don’t act rashly, your situation isn’t safe.”
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes, “Where did that sly cat go?”
Their expressions became strange..
