Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes - Chapter 557
Chapter 557: Chapter 564: Something’s There! (One more update)
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present was taken aback, simultaneously struck with surprise.
“So, Yang Zhen came to Mountain and River City to save the old city lord, but instead he was treated like this?”
“This… this is ridiculous. Luckily, Yang Zhen is a lucky man. If it was another Tribulation Crossing Phase practitioner, they might have lost their life by now.”
“If Yang Zhen had died here, wouldn’t our Mountain and River City become a joke in the eyes of others, seen as ungrateful bastards?”
“It’s all because of that scum Guo Jing. He chooses to be an ungrateful beast instead of being a decent person. He’s capable of doing such despicable things, he truly deserves death.”
“Once his cultivation is destroyed, death won’t be far. Which practitioner doesn’t have a few enemies?”
Murmurs filled the air as everyone, astonished, looked at Yang Zhen. Suddenly someone cursed out loud:
“Damn it, the most detestable is that Fang Zhongjian from Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. He came up with such a vicious plot to trap Yang Zhen. No, I can’t stand it, Heavenly Snow Holy Domain assembly, right? I’d like to see how outrageous these sacred lands are.”
“Exactly, it’s just a few people who have been asleep for thousands of years. Do they really think that there are no people left in the Northern Island? Only the most arrogant people could do such a thing, intending to kidnap Miss Feng, I absolutely will not agree.”
Seeing the righteously indignant faces of the crowd, Yang Zhen paused in surprise, not expecting such common hatred from them.
“Gentlemen, gentlemen!”
Yang waved his hand and said, “I… I appreciate your thoughts, but the assembly of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain is too dangerous. Apparently, the people of the Sacred Lands and the Ancient tribes have big plans for it, which may put your lives at risk. The rescue of Miss Feng, let me take care of it. If I unfortunately die, please retrieve my body and bring it back to Lotus Village in Chi Shui Gou, I will be grateful even in death.”
Hearing these words from Yang Zhen, the crowd did not calm down, but became even more infuriated.
“Look, look at what righteousness is. This is true righteousness. Yang Zhen, no matter what others say, I only believe what I see. I seldom admire people, but you are one of them.”
“Exactly, rest assured, Yang Zhen. If you are targeted by Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and those from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, I am the first to disagree. Even though my cultivation is not as high as those inheritors of the sacred lands, killing one of them would be worth it. Killing two would be a bonus!”
“We practitioners of Mountain and River City do not fear difficulties. We will challenge them, save Miss Feng, and protect Brother Yang.”
“The old city lord has been a great benefactor to us all. Now that Miss Feng is kidnapped by that bastard Fang Zhongjian, we can’t let him get away with it. Even if it involves the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, I’m willing to kill their people.”
The cat was dumbfounded, watching the group of spirited people before him, muttering to himself, “These people are crazy, what kind of world is this? There are even people taking the initiative to cause trouble.”
Yang Zhen gave the cat a sidelong glance and said sarcastically, “What do you, a lowly cat, know about this? This is called ‘Justice is in Every Heart’.”
A joyful laughter broke out, Feng Jingtu burst into laughter, saying, “Well said, ‘Justice is in Every Heart’. Brother Yang, rest assured, you are going to the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain to save my little sister. Even without this matter, just on your phrase ‘Justice is in Every Heart’, I will fully support you. Although the people of Mountain and River City have low cultivations, they are united in purpose. I also have some connections outside, I will persuade them to lend Brother Yang a hand.”
Yang Zhen was taken aback at the sudden attention he was receiving, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, “No, no… how many people can you call?”
Feng Jingtu paused for a moment, then laughed, “I do have some influence, using grandfather’s name, there should be some Mahayana Phase predecessors.”
Oh wow, Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up, what a surprise. It appears this Elder Feng really has status in their society, he can even bring out a few Mahayana Phase powerhouses.
Moreover, from Feng Jingtu’s attitude, they should readily agree. Added with the reason and rhymes, wouldn’t there be even more?
Yang Zhen rubbed his hands together, waved grandly and said, “What a joke, does this Sao Saint need these predecessors to break into the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain? I’ll take care of them all by myself. Let’s go and check on Elder Feng’s injury first.”
Speaking of Elder Feng’s injury, Feng Jingtu sighed heavily, his face filled with worry, waving his hand to let them take the nearly speechless Young Master Feng away, and said with a bitter voice:
“This is related to the changes in Heaven and Earth. My grandfather was injured the last time when the ‘Heaven and Earth True Essence’ suddenly increased. During his cultivation, for no reason, a terrifying orange thunder erupted from the sky. If it wasn’t for my grandfather’s quick reaction and evasion, I fear the entire Mountain and River City would have been destroyed by that terrifying thunder.”
At this, Yang Zhen’s eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, “The last time… The True Essence burst?”
Damn it, wasn’t that when he accidentally unlocked the Heaven and Earth shackles in East Sea?
What a sin, so it turns out that Elder Feng’s injury had something to do with him, albeit in a roundabout way. Although Yang Zhen didn’t have a shred of guilt, but he thought it’d be best not to tell this to anyone. Better keep it to himself.
It seemed like complete karma. Because Yang Zhen accidentally unlocked the Heaven and Earth shackles, it led to Elder Feng getting struck by thunder during his cultivation and getting injured. Strangely enough, Yang Zhen ended up coming to save him. What kind of ridiculous chain of events was this?
Watching Yang Zhen being led into the Feng family by Feng Jingtu, the crowd, although filled with curiosity, could only wait outside impatiently.
Along the way, Yang Zhen discovered that even Black Sand couldn’t heal Elder Feng’s injury, which stumped him. Although he felt a bit panicked, he maintained an undisturbed expression on his face.
With such a coincidence already happening, if Yang Zhen can’t cure Elder Feng’s disease, wouldn’t that mean the heavens are smacking him in the face?
How could that possibly happen?
“I was also concerned about my grandfather’s injury, a concern that leads to chaos. When Guo Jing and others entered the Mountain and River Ruins, we already had some leads on the purchase of Black Sand. However… Everything is about destiny, my grandfather said that his injury was predetermined.”
Yang Zhen looked at Feng Jingtu in surprise, asking, “Elder Feng has calculated it?”
That is a bit terrifying, this old man seems to have something.
Feng Jingtu gave a bitter smile, “That was three years ago. Even though he calculated it, he couldn’t specify what exactly would happen, nor did he know when. Despite being well prepared, it eventually happened.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen became more curious about Elder Feng.
When they arrived at the place where Elder Feng was resting, Yang Zhen paused in surprise.
Small bridges, flowing water, bamboo houses and pavilions. Clouds enveloped the beautiful scenery. He had not expected such a beautiful place within Mountain and River City.
Walking along the way, Yang Zhen felt increasingly that Elder Feng was not simple. His state of mind alone was enough to surpass all the people Yang Zhen had ever met.
When Yang Zhen stepped into the place where Elder Feng was resting, and saw Feng lying on the bed, he involuntarily gasped and almost cursed.
Is this still a human?
