Chapter 760: Chapter 766: Kidnap! (Second update)
Yang Zhen finally left amidst Wan Jian’s conflicted gaze and under the puzzled expressions of countless people beneath the Sky Observing Mirror, he walked away in wide strides from the direction of the Heaven and Earth Array.
As for those four unfortunate souls in the Dissolve Grievances Valley, they were still hanging on trees in a stupor, swaying in the breeze, looking quite ethereal.
No one could understand Yang Zhen. In everyone’s view, even if Yang Zhen found the location of Mount Sumeru, he wouldn’t be able to survive entering Mount Sumeru.
Unless Yang Zhen could win over Yue Yazi, Luo Guangcheng, and others like he did with Wan Jian, and add Yunla and others to his team, then he might stand a chance.
However, not to mention Yue Yazi and others, even people like Song Chong had criticisms of Yang Zhen. Yunla and others disappeared, under these circumstances, Yang Zhen’s chance of running into Yunla and Yue Yazi on his upcoming journey was much less than encountering others.
But Yang Zhen left anyway, discarding the pile of sacred disc formations as if they were trash.
Inside the Yao Saint Palace, Elder Jian slapped his thigh, satisfied, and said, “Good kid, regardless of his cultivation and temperament, his casualness alone is not something that ordinary people can match. I am increasingly curious about Yang Zhen’s background. What kind of environment could cultivate such a talent?”
The Third Saintess had a gratified smile on her face and asked Elder Jian, “What does Elder Jian think of Yang Zhen?”
“Very good, the more I look at this kid, the more I appreciate him. If he truly doesn’t have a sect lineage, I might consider taking him under my wing.”
“What?” The Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace and the Third Saintess were both taken aback and asked in surprise, “Elder Jian, you want to take Yang Zhen as your disciple?”
Elder Jian was stunned and asked the two, “What about you two? Are you planning to recruit Yang Zhen to Yaochi Holy Land?”
“Your Yaochi Holy Land has too many rules. Let’s not even discuss whether you would let Yang Zhen join. Even if he did, with his personality, he probably couldn’t stand your rules,” Elder Jian said, shaking his head.
The Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace chuckled bitterly and said, “Elder Jian, you can’t compete with us for people. Plus, there’s bound to be a conflict between Yang Zhen and Lin Haotian. He may offend certain individuals or places. Aren’t you afraid of getting implicated?”
Elder Jian glared and retorted, “That’s between Yang Zhen and Lin Haotian. Besides, their conflict is because of your Yaochi Holy Land. Don’t you want to stay out of it?”
The Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace replied, “Elder Jian, you’re joking. Our Yaochi Holy Land has never been unfaithful or disloyal…. It’s just….”
“Just what?” asked Elder Jian, glaring, “Can’t you see? Yang Zhen uses a sword!”
The Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace and the Third Saintess exchanged looks, both seeing confusion in the other’s eyes.
Does that weapons shaped like a plank really qualifies as a sword?
“Yes, it’s a sword. It’s definitely a sword!” Elder Jian seemed unsure himself and reiterated that the Great Missing Sword was indeed a sword.
At this moment, a disciple walked in with an odd expression and said to the Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace, Elder Jian, and the Third Saintess, “Palace Master, Elder Jian, Third Saintess, the Saint Master requests your presence in the Saint Temple.”
“Go to the Saint Temple?” The Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace looked surprised and asked, “Did you mention to the Saint Master that Yang Zhen has a method to locate Mount Sumeru?”
The disciple replied respectfully, “I’ve reported the situation accurately. Right now, the Sky Observing Mirror at the Saint Temple is activated, but….”
“But what?” Elder Jian glared, “Spit it out! There are no outsiders here. You disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land always like to beat around the bush.”
The disciple chuckled bitterly and said, “Senior Yue and Lin Haotian are currently in the Saint Temple.”
“What?” Elder Jian asked in surprise, “That guy came too, and even brought along Lin Haotian? What does he want to do?”
The Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace snorted coldly, “What else could he want to do? He’s here to mock those Chosen by Heaven. He always has been so haughty, sneering at our Chosen ones.”
Elder Jian exclaimed and his eyes brightened. He stood up quickly and said, “We definitely have to go and see. I am curious about that guy’s reaction after witnessing Yang Zhen’s performance. Let’s hurry, I can hardly wait.”
Seeing Elder Jian’s competitive spirit, despite his age, the Yao Saint Palace Master gave a bitter laugh. But anyone could see that this old man’s eyes were also sparkling with excitement, clearly, he shared Elder Jian’s sentiment. @@novelbin@@
Only the Third Saintess had a conflicted expression on her face. Slowly she stood up, bit her lip and said, “I will go too!”
Elder Jian and the Yao Saint Palace Master were stunned and exchanged a glance, their faces turned grave.
The Yao Saint Palace Master took a deep breath and said, “Alright, there are things we eventually have to confront. Thankfully, Yang Zhen’s performance has been gratifying to Elder Jian and me. At least we can chat in the Saint Palace.”
The Third Saintess bowed to them in the manner of a disciple, and said, “Thank you, Palace Master and Elder Jian.”
Elder Jian chuckled and responded, “Not at all. I don’t much care for that Lin Haotian either, too arrogant and cocky at such a young age. How can he ever succeed?”
When they arrived at the Saint Palace, the atmosphere was very tense.
At the head of the Saint Palace, two elders were seated. One on the left was clad in white, his hair and beard both white, looking old but full of vitality. His presence was like the wind, his clothes billowing, which appeared rather free-spirited.
The elder on the right looked gloomy. However, his vitality exuded a vastness akin to the boundless ocean that made people feel insurmountable at first glance.
Peak Circulation Phase Experts, their Spirit Souls unparalleled, roamed the heavens freely.
Behind the elder on the right, a young man dressed in white was wearing a smug smile, looking at a Sky Observing Mirror in the mid-air that was obviously more powerful than the one at Yao Saint Palace, with an expression of disdain.
The aura on Lin Haotian was the same as the elder’s, vast like an ocean, but a bit more gloomy, leaving people the impression of a chilling vulture from the wilderness. Despite his white outfit, his face was full of shadows.
Despite his youth, he was also a Circulation Phase expert. His endless fluctuations of chi gave off a natural aura, which was visually striking.
Obviously, Lin Haotian had reached the state of transformation. Even among the younger generation of Circulation Phase, he was considered a powerful figure.
Upon seeing the arrivals, Lin Haotian didn’t immediately greet the Yao Saint Palace Master and Elder Jian. Instead, he stared at the Third Saintess with an inscrutable smile.
The Third Saintess did not flinch. She came to the center of the Saint Palace and bowed to the head seats, saying, “Greetings Sacred Master, Senior Yue!”
The Sacred Master of Yaochi Holy Land smiled and nodded, saying, “Please sit!”
The Yao Saint Palace was just a subsidiary palace of the Yaochi Holy Land, but its Palace Master, upon sitting among other Palace Masters, remained calm and unconcerned.
On the contrary, Elder Jian boisterously sat next to the Third Saintess. After shooting Lin Haotian a glance, he focused his attention inward, ignoring everything else in the Saint Palace.
After everyone took their seats, the Sacred Master looked at the Sky Observing Mirror and spotted Yang Zhen with Wan Jian, opening the discussion, “A disciple reported that Yang Zhen has found the method to find Mount Sumeru. Is this true?”
The Yao Saint Palace Master quickly nodded and said, “Indeed, it is.”
All of a sudden, Lin Haotian burst into laughter and said, “It’s said that this Yang Zhen looks down on the disciples of the ancient heritage, an interesting person indeed. However, he seems to have good fortune to accidentally find Mount Sumeru in Eagle Fall Cliff. If I have the chance, I would like to learn from him.”
Everyone present turned serious upon hearing Lin Haotian’s words.
Elder Jian stared blankly at Lin Haotian and muttered to himself, “This insolent little fellow, more and more self-important.”
What do you think?
