“What is that?”
“This… it’s so oddly shaped, does such an illusion really exist in this world?”
Everyone was looking at the illusion emerging from Yang Zhen’s back with faces filled with shock and confusion.
Elder Fang sneered continuously, and with a swipe of his hand, a horrifying wave of energy swept over. The Sacred Palace Illusion bloomed against the wind, producing a sound that resembled the thunderous chime of a colossal bell.
DONG !
The earth-shattering sound of the bell caused everyone’s expression to change drastically, as the deafening sound caused their ears to throb.
Yang Zhen’s face changed, he looked at Elder Fang in surprise and asked, “Your Sacred Palace, it could produce such thunderous noise?”
Although the sound produced by this colossal bell wasn’t as terrifyingly powerful as the Celestial Song, it was enough to unnerve everyone. Yang Zhen bore the brunt of it and felt the tremendous pressure emanating from the Sacred Palace.
The patriarch of the Fang Family in Ice Martial City truly deserved his reputation.
As Elder Fang laughed heartily, his voice as profound as a thundering bell, he stared at Yang Zhen and said, “I have not seen a presumptuous young man like you in a long time. I somewhat pity you and find it hard to kill you. So, how about this—if you kneel and bow to the Fang Family three times in front of all the practitioners in Ice Martial City, I will spare your life.”
On hearing these words, the expressions of the crowd around instantly changed. They soon reacted and shouted reprimands, “You ungrateful being! Our ancestor is being benevolent by sparing you. Why aren’t you thanking him on your knees?”
“He’s acting so arrogantly at such a young age and even dares to cause trouble in the Fang Family alone. He’s heading towards his own death.”
“Youngman, don’t say we’re not giving you a chance. Now, just step out of this door, sincerely kneel down in front of everyone, and our Fang Family will surely spare your life.”
Everyone kept persuading and scolding him, subtly indicating that Yang Zhen just needed to sincerely apologize, and the Fang Family would forgive and forget his disrespectful and preposterous actions.
The expressions of Yang Jiang and Aunt Lian changed continuously. Such a situation was the worst they had anticipated. Not only was the Fang Family aware that Yang Zhen had brought them to cause trouble, but the patriarch of the Han Family had also come with a group of the Han Family members. Moreover, the patriarch of the Fang Family had conjured the Sacred Palace. The thunderous noise produced by it had certainly caught the attention of most people in Ice Martial City.
One could imagine that there must be numerous busybodies gathered outside the Fang Family estate to see the spectacle. With the situation at hand, whether it was Yang Zhen or Yang Jiang and Aunt Lian, they were almost isolated and helpless.
While Yang Zhen was curiously observing the Sacred Palace behind the back of the patriarch of the Fang Family, Yang Jiang and Aunt Lian were getting increasingly anxious.
The patriarch of the Han Family, with a smiling face revealing nothing of his thoughts, turned around and said to the person behind him, “Yan’er, what do you think of this kid?”
Han Yan’er took a deep breath, glanced at Yang Zhen, and a flicker of curiosity passed through her beautiful eyes as she said, “Indeed, his cultivation is at the Void Cultivation Stage, but there’s something I don’t quite understand!”
“Oh?” The patriarch of the Han Family paused on hearing this, with a smile he asked, “You’re wondering why he is so confident?”
Han Yan’er nodded and said, “There are only two reasons for such confidence, one is having unyielding courage, and the other is ignorance leading to fearlessness. Yang Zhen clearly isn’t the latter, but I don’t understand what he relies upon to have such unyielding courage.”
The patriarch of the Han Family chuckled, “Yan’er, there are too many overconfident people in this world. It’s not their fault, they are simply too arrogant and overestimate their own strength.”
At this point, the patriarch of the Han Family took a deep look at Yang Zhen and sighed, “This kid has enough courage, which is praiseworthy; if only his talent was a tad better, he could have been a promising talent. It’s just a shame, he’s very arrogant, which is a common failing among young people!”
Just as they were talking, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his head, looked around at everyone, and said, “Are you fighting or not?”
Are you… fighting or not?
On hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present was taken aback.
Those engaged in ridiculing Yang Zhen and advising him to go outside and kneel in apology all stared at Yang Zhen blankly, their faces filled with confusion.
In such a situation, Yang Zhen could still utter these words?
This… how much more presumptuous could he possibly be?
Everyone present had no idea that Yang Zhen was genuinely troubled now.
Damn, dealing with these so-called prestigious families was such a pain. Not only did they dither, but you also had to decipher their hidden intentions. Otherwise, you’d be dumbfounded, completely clueless as to their cryptic schemes.
However, considering Yang Zhen’s shrewdness, how could he not discern what Elder Fang was thinking about?
It was simply because Yang Zhen had audaciously barged into the Fang Family’s territory, causing a ruckus, and shamed the Fangs in an instant.
Even if they killed Yang Zhen right then, in the world’s eyes, Elder Fang seemed nothing more than a bully victimizing the younger generation.
But the practitioner of the Fang Family at the Void Cultivation Stage present were not Yang Zhen’s match. Elder Fang inevitably had to take action personally which would inadvertently tarnish the family’s reputation further, regardless of the outcome of Yang Zhen’s death.
In the eyes of the Fang family, Yang Zhen’s life was trivial. The reputation and dignity of the Fang family were paramount. It was better to let Yang Zhen apologize, preserve the reputation of the Fang family, as for Yang’s life or death, it was up to Elder Fang once Yang Zhen left here, wasn’t it?
Most of the people present understood this principle, even Fang Yang, who wanted to shred Yang Zhen into a thousand pieces, just glared at him coldly, not daring to defy the wishes of Elder Fang.
Yet everyone believed that Yang Zhen, who ought to heed the warning and retreat, audaciously asked something in front of everyone.
Do you dare to fight or not?
Upon hearing this, it seemed as if everyone was reluctant to confront Yang Zhen.
Elder Fang was furious beyond measure, his aura was already raging wildly. Just as he was about to talk, he suddenly saw Yang Zhen rise into the air, his hand slowly pointing towards Elder Fang. The bizarre illusion behind him was brightly lit, filling everyone with terror.
Everyone was immensely outraged, cursing loudly but no one dared to step forward to stop him. The fluctuations in Yang Zhen’s aura were terrifying and he possessed the power to manipulate rocks and earth, filling everyone with dread.
With uncertainty written all over his face, Elder Fang heard Yang Zhen speak again, “Old man, I have one question, can I hitch a ride on your ship, or not?” “Insolent!” Elder Fang never thought that Yang Zhen would still be hung up on this matter, and in his anger, he spurted out.
However, before Elder Fang could react, there was a startling boom in the sky where Yang Zhen was.
Compared to this booming noise, the sound of the heavenly bell behind Elder Fang was as faint as the buzzing of a mosquito.
Everyone was startled and quickly raised their heads to look at Yang Zhen. They saw a bright light burst out from the long tube within the strange illusion behind him. It shot out terrifying True Essence which roared towards Elder Fang.
“It’sbad! Protect Elder Fang!”
The Fang family rushed over to Elder Fang. But Yang Zhen launched the attack as soon as he said it. Moreover, the speed of the shell was as fast as lightning. Everyone still hadn’t lifted their feet after forming a thought, they heard Elder Fang grunt, then crash into a wall.
“How…howis this possible?”
Everyone was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe.
Yang Jiang and Aunt Lian were even more astounded, looking horrified as they gazed at Yang Zhen. Seeing his resolute face, they showed expressions of wild elation.
Even the Elder Han and Han Yan’er exchanged glances, their faces full of astonishment and terror.
At this point, Yang Zhen stood alone in midair, arrogantly subduing the entire Fang family single-handedly!
Crack,crack!
A few crisp sounds rang out, and Elder Fang ‘pulled’ himself out of the wall. His face had turned black and he glared at Yang Zhen with rage, hissing word by word:
“Boy, you’re courting death!”
Yang Zhen burst into loud laughter. Since negotiations didn’t work, a grand disturbance in the Fang Family was next. His eyes coalesced, and his aura surged tremendously!
Who would have thought, Yang Zhen would be so arrogant and audacious enough to cause such a massive commotion at the slightest disagreement!
