Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 851: Chapter 867: Flaunting Attitude

Hearing that Yang Zhen actually planned to take both Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er up to the Daoist platform, everyone was already at a loss for words, all staring at Yang Zhen with faces full of absurd expressions.

However, what left the crowd even more perplexed was what came next, the Central Emperor actually agreed.

He actually… agreed?

This Grand Daoist Conference was a representation of the highest level of preaching in the cultivation world, where nearly all the speakers were Celestial Phase experts with traditions spanning roughly thirty thousand years.

For such a high-level Grand Daoist Conference to allow Yang Zhen, a Divine Transformation Stage Practitioner, to ascend the Daoist platform was already bewildering enough.

Now, Yang Zhen had made such an excessive request, and rather than being denied by the likes of the Central Emperor and others, it was readily agreed upon.

This gave everyone a sense of questioning their own existence.

Watching Yang Zhen with a smile plastered on his face leading Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, followed by the Central Emperor and a few Celestial Phase experts up to the Daoist platform, Screwball and Flirtatious Rooster, those two bastards, with an air of denying all relations, just followed behind Yang Zhen’s backside and walked up, leaving everyone else dumbstruck!

“This is too much of a farce. If Yang Zhen can go up, I can’t say anything about it, Flirtatious Rooster and Screwball, those two bastards, have extraordinary origins, and might even be more mysterious than Yang Zhen, so I have nothing to say about that. Even if the Saintess Hua ascends the platform with Yang Zhen, I would accept it, but what gives Han Yan’er the right to follow them up?”

Many people turned their gazes toward Han Yan’er, and some even questioned openly. With these words, the surrounding crowd immediately became somewhat disgruntled.

“It’s said that Saintess Hua defied the heavens and claimed life itself, and she may very well be the reincarnation of a primeval female saint. Although this has never been confirmed, the rumor has nonetheless been buzzing around the East Sea. Han Yan’er is just like us, an ordinary person. Why should she have the privilege to go up?”

“Hush, keep your voice down. It’s just that Yang Zhen has better luck, nothing more. By a fortunate stroke of serendipity, he cured the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord’s illness, and now even those around him have been treated favorably. You should be careful with your words, Sir, lest you offend Yang Zhen. Given his vengeful nature, there’s no telling if he might retaliate against you.”

“So what if he retaliates against me? He’s already done it; should it not be talked about?”

With a crowd in fervent discussion, Yang Zhen maintained a face of indifference, yet his gaze shifted toward Han Yan’er.

Han Yan’er’s face was pale as iron, her lips tightly pressed together in silence as she followed behind Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen walked up to her, grinning, and asked, “How about it, should we shut these idiots up?”

Han Yan’er gave him a look and replied irritably, “You could tear one or two, maybe even a hundred, but do you really think you can silence all these people?”

Yang Zhen smiled broadly and seriously said, “As long as you give me the nod, I’ll make it my business to tear them apart one by one, not doing anything else henceforth. If I can’t finish in one day, I’ll take a hundred days; if that’s not enough, I’ll take a hundred years. There’ll come a time when it’s done, right?”

Han Yan’er shivered, turned her head away, and biting her lip, said, “Don’t bother with these people… I… I will prove myself!”

Yang Zhen burst into laughter, his body suddenly unleashing a towering surge of energy. With a loud blast, numerous Yang Zhen Shadow Clones appeared in mid-air!

“Since when did my woman need to prove anything to others?”

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone around, their faces wildly changing, and especially those who had spoken rudely; their faces turned pale as they looked up in horror at the myriad Shadow Clones of Yang Zhen.

What a joke, Yang Zhen’s Shadow Clones were capable of murder!

Under the fierce gaze of numerous Yang Zhens, whether they had been skeptical or not, everyone shut their mouths, unanimously falling silent as a cicada in winter.

Han Yan’er was startled and, with a worried expression, glanced at the Central Emperor and others ahead, tugged at Yang Zhen’s sleeve, and whispered, “Yang Zhen, have you lost your mind? Quick, withdraw the Shadow Clones. In front of so many Celestial Phase experts, are you courting death?”

Yang Zhen glared at those gossiping once more before leisurely withdrawing his Shadow Clones.

Perhaps in others’ eyes, Yang Zhen’s actions were excessively arrogant, practically courting death. Only Yang Zhen himself knew that if he hadn’t gone to such extremes that day, the Central Emperor and others wouldn’t have bothered with him.

Don’t mention that Yang Zhen merely warned everyone, even if he really killed someone, the Middle Emperor and the others might just turn a blind eye because although others are not sure, Yang Zhen knew that this Hongdao Conference might have other purposes for the Middle Emperor and his people.

And what Yang Zhen said just now was not wrong, after arriving at the Dao platform, he truly sensed a trace of the aura of corpse puppets!

Even though he couldn’t understand why this was happening, Yang Zhen was clear in his heart that there must be insider information that he and others were unaware of!

The Hongdao Conference was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Under such circumstances, with the Middle Emperor and the others preoccupied with their own concerns, who would have time to bother with Yang Zhen?

Sure enough, following Yang Zhen’s warning, the Middle Emperor and the others did not pause their steps for even a moment, they just tensed their auras slightly before completely relaxing and continued walking forward.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, looking at Yang Zhen with faces full of disbelief.

Although no one spoke another word, in everyone’s eyes, Yang Zhen was excessively arrogant, to the point of appearing utterly dismissive of others.

Countless people were waiting, waiting for Yang Zhen’s downfall!

No one was willing to believe that the Middle Emperor and his people were allowing Yang Zhen to ascend the Dao platform simply out of affection for talent; If Yang Zhen could not display the kind of talent that satisfied the Middle Emperor and his people, his end would likely be incredibly grim.

Yuan Hao, standing in the crowd with an iron-blue face, watched the scene before him, almost grinding his teeth to pieces.

In Yuan Hao’s opinion, the person who should be ascending the Dao platform today should be him, not Yang Zhen.

Yuan Hao’s master let out a cold huff from behind him and said, “Yuan Hao, do not let hatred blind you. Yang Zhen is too arrogant; rigidity leads to easy breakage. The Hongdao Conference is the grand event of the entire cultivation world, how could it tolerate such unrestraint?”

“But…” Yuan Hao, feeling inconsolable, stared at Yang Zhen, wanting to say something, but hesitated!

The old crone chuckled coldly and said, “This Hongdao Conference will surely leave a thick mark in the history of the cultivation world. Without exception, those who ascend the Dao platform will have something to be remembered by the world. Do you think Yang Zhen and the other two can accomplish that?”

Yuan Hao’s expression hardened as he stared at the old crone and asked, “Master means to say…”

“Yang Zhen has exceptional talent, and his Daoist Feeling must also be high. It is indeed true that the Holy Lady, Hua Youyue, defied heaven and changed her fate in the East Sea, this indeed happened, witnessed by many, and I’m sure you’ve also heard of it!”

Yuan Hao nodded and said, “Although it’s somewhat unbelievable, with so many people from the East Sea present at that time, it’s impossible for me to not believe it!”

The old crone nodded and said, “There’s no need to talk about Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue. As for the cat and the Golden Crow by Yang Zhen’s side, ignore them as well. As for that Han Yan’er… huh, I have observed her talent, and it is just so-so. Although I do not know why she could cultivate so quickly, she definitely does not qualify as a prodigy. Her ascent to the Dao platform today is already preposterous, who would expect such an ordinary girl to put on a stunning performance on the Dao platform?”

Yuan Hao’s face flickered, looking at Han Yan’er and saying, “Disciple understands what to do now. Master wants the disciple to find an opportunity to debate with Han Yan’er, doing so will surely cause Yang Zhen to lose face completely.”

At this point, Yuan Hao’s face showed a glimmer of a sinister smile, looking at Yang Zhen with a face full of excitement.

The old crone let out a light laugh, nodded slowly, and then fell silent.

On the platform, Han Yan’er approached Yang Zhen, hesitant to speak and then asked tentatively, “Should I… not have come up here?”

Yang Zhen smiled and said to Han Yan’er, “With me here, what are you afraid of?”

“I…” Han Yan’er lowered her head, biting her lip, and said, “I’m afraid of nothing!”

At this moment, Yang Zhen, full of confidence, faced such an event without a change of expression, self-assured and unafraid!
