Patriarch Wang was trembling with rage, pointing at Yang Zhen, stuttering for a long time without being able to utter a word.
The crowd around them stared in bewilderment at the incredible scene unfolding before their eyes, feeling as if their brains were inadequate for the situation.
An esteemed practitioner at the Void Cultivation Stage was being verbally abused like a dog by a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner and could only shout in fury without being able to rush forward and kill Yang Zhen. The frustration in Patriarch Wang’s heart could only be imagined.
It was all the more infuriating that each word and even each expression from Yang Zhen was enough to infuriate a person to the point of death He didn’t even need to curse. Just standing there with a smirking face was enough to make people livid.
Jian Cat also stared blankly at Yang Zhen with sparkling eyes, constantly mouthing ‘holy crap’, looking incredibly excited. In Jian Cat’s eyes, Yang Zhen was practically a god, just short of outright adoration.
But the prohibitions on these stone steps were extraordinarily terrifying. Even Void Cultivation Stage practitioners could only climb to the nineteenth step. The horrifying pressure on the twentieth step could directly force Void Cultivation warriors off the step. How had Yang Zhen gotten up there?
And that odd fat cat that walked on two legs, which exhibited no True Essence fluctuations, had actually scampered all the way up to the thirty-ninth step. Was there no justice left in the world?
Seeing that Patriarch Wang was about to have a stroke from anger, with even his eyes turning red, Elder Qu sneered and stepped forward, saying, “Young friend Yang, I advise you to watch your attitude. This prohibition may provide you protection, but do you intend to stay up there forever?”
Yang Zhen glanced at Elder Qu, pointed at Patriarch Wang and said, “Why don’t you advise this old fossil to watch his attitude? I hate you guys for constantly pulling rank on us younger ones. I was merely chasing a shameless Jian Cat that caused offense to you, yet you start insulting me. Am I your father?” “You!” Elder Qu’s face changed, pointing at Yang Zhen, he said, “This is absurd! So disrespectful. Which sect’s disciple are you?”
Yang Zhen smirked, “So, we’re comparing fathers now, are we? Who’s your father?”
“Scoundrel!”
Another old Void Cultivation stage practitioner seemingly couldn’t stand it anymore, pointing at Yang Zhen and said: “Youngster, don’t be reckless! How long can you stay up there?”
Yang Zhen glanced at him and waved dismissively, “Oh well, let me calculate… Looks like I can stay here till you are all six feet under.”
“You!” The old man was shaking with anger.
The crowd was completely dumbfounded.
Well, this Yang Zhen was really something. In just a short while, he had managed to offend three Void Cultivation powerhouses.
In actuality, if it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat these three old fogeys, Yang Zhen wouldn’t have just stopped at offending them. He would’ve started ’ kicking their butts a long time ago.
Having been chasing after Jian Cat for so long, Yang Zhen’s hot temper was already on the verge of exploding. Why would he give any face to these three old fogies?
Patriarch Wang suddenly took a deep breath and in a stern voice said, “Elder Qu, Elder Tie, you two calm down, I’ll wait here for him to come down and see when he dares to come down!”
With that, as expected, Patriarch Wang sat cross-legged, looking deeply at Yang Zhen and closed his eyes.
A practitioner who could cultivate to the Void Cultivation Stage was of course not a fool. To argue with Yang Zhen at this point was clearly looking for trouble. Better to just sit and wait for Yang Zhen. Once he dared to come down, there’s no way he could escape.
Elder Qu gave an uproarious laughter, started to sit next to Patriarch Wang and said, “I might as well wait with Patriarch Wang and see what the boy does.” Elder Tie gave a cold laugh, remained silent, and sat on the other side of Patriarch Wang.
Hua Youyue’s expression changed slightly. She glanced at Yang Zhen with a look of both worry and amusement, feeling completely helpless.
It seemed that no matter where Yang Zhen went, he could stir up some sort of commotion.
“Oh no, you’re finished! Kid, the three old Void Cultivation stage practitioners below are waiting for you. Can you live up here for a year?” Jian Cat gloated as it watched Yang Zhen, marveling at him.
Yang Zhen glanced at Jian Cat and said, “The air here is great, and it’s so high up. Most importantly, I can cultivate. I love it here. I don’t mind living here for a year. In fact, I’m even willing to live here for ten years.”
“Bah!” Jian Cat curled its lip, “So, what will you eat?”
Yang Zhen was taken aback and murmured, “That is indeed a problem!” Patriarch Wang snorted coldly, the corner of his mouth revealing a frosty smile. He was just about to speak when Yang Zhen’s voice came again.
“Now that you mentioned it, I am getting a bit hungry. Should I start with eggplant in garlic sauce, or lamb chops in vinegar? Or maybe I should go with steamed Jade Ganoderma Lucidum? No, no, I think the ten herb tonic soup sounds more delicious.”
Gulp!
A gulp went off, and Sneaky Cat had somehow sidled up to Yang Zhen, drooling as it asked, “That Szechuan-styled Jade Ganoderma you were talking about earlier, is it delicious?”
“Delicious, simply the most exquisite in the world. Do you want a taste?”
Sneaky Cat nodded frantically.
Yang Zhen grabbed Sneaky Cat, pinned it to the ground, and ordered menacingly, “First spit out that Perfect Revitalizing Soup of mine.”
“You sly fox! You dare trick me, I’ll fight you to the end!”
Sneaky Cat tried to claw and kick him, its legs pounding against Yang Zhen’s hands. But no matter how it kicked, it couldn’t escape Yang Zhen’s clutch and was beaten mercilessly.
“Ouch… stop, stop… It hurts so bad… stop it now.”
“You still want more?”
“I’ll…ouch…even if it kills me…ouch…l’ll eat…ouch…okay, okay, I won’t eat anymore. You tell me what to eat, and I’ll eat it. I’m not picky, not picky.” Patriarch Wang and two others sat on the ground, distracted from their cultivation, their eyes twitching in aggravation. Yang Zhen was shamelessly thinking about food in such a life-and-death situation.
Three Void Cultivation Stage masters opened their eyes together, staring at Yang Zhen with grave expressions.
The others who knew Yang Zhen began to snicker among themselves, their faces filled with suppressed excitement. They dared not laugh out loud because the three Void Cultivation Stage masters were present, but they were cramping from the effort.
“Flower Tower Master showed impressive foresight when he decided to step down the moment he saw Yang Zhen.”
“Yang Zhen is something else. After Flower Tower Master stepped down, he could still disrupt the balance of the prohibition. Those people…especially when the three Void Cultivation Stage masters landed on their bottoms, I almost died laughing.”
“Shh, hold it in, you have to hold it in. The three Void Cultivation Stage masters are helpless against Yang Zhen in their anger, but they could easily kill us with a snap of their fingers.”
“This fellow Daoist, you must hold it in. If I know anything about Yang Zhen,
he won’t stop until he’s driven someone to vomit blood.”
“What… what? Vomit blood?” A practitioner who had never met Yang Zhen looked horrified. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “What… what is he going to do?”
In full view of everyone, Yang Zhen tossed Sneaky Cat aside, and with a clatter, pulled out a piece of wood.
“Hey youngster, what are you doing?”
“Cooking, are you hungry?”
“Hungry, hungry! It’s been years since I’ve had any food. A bowl of Perfect… hurry, what delicious food are you preparing?”
“Sweet and sour lamb chops, cumin lamb kidney…”
The corners of the mouths of the three Void Cultivation Stage masters twitched incessantly. Patriarch Wang, with his quick temper, was about to stand up but was stopped by Elder Qu.
“Patriarch Wang, keep your cool. Surely, that brat Yang Zhen doesn’t dare to cook under our very noses?”
Elder Tie sneered, “Putting on a show, trying to play off our anger. How laughable.”
Bam!
A pile of flames rose up on the stone steps, and Yang Zhen’s cheeky voice declared, “Get lost, how can you eat raw lamb? Wait on the side, you’re in for a treat today. This master chef is going to show you what real divine delicacy is.”
Hey boy, don’t talk big and then can’t back it up.”
“If I manage to prepare a divine delicacy, would you dare to kick those three old farts’ butts?”
“Hehehe, boy; your words have been heard by this awesome cat.”
This…this….are this man and cat really going to cook in front of all these people?
