Chapter 383: Chapter 390 Yang Zhen faces tribulation! Sky ghost descends! (Second update)
Upon hearing Yang Zhen cursing like a thunder spell, Yue Yufeng staggered and almost tripped. She took a look back and saw nothing, filling her with
instant rage.
Yang Zhen roared with laughter, chasing and saying, “Old witch, don’t be too scared. I, Sao Saint, am just fooling around. You think my heavenly tribulation could really obey my command and split you apart, are you out of your mind?”
Hearing his explanation, Yue Yufeng turned even paler, “Yang Zhen, don’t be reckless! Even though your first heavenly tribulation was the unique Heavenly Ghost Tribulation, there are still ways to survive it. There’s no need to drag me into this. We hold no grudges against each other, there’s no need to lead to
mutual destruction.”
“Eh?” Yang Zhen paused, puzzled, “I, Sao Saint, am quite baffled. If you say there’s no need to lead to mutual destruction, then why did you all come here?
To appreciate the scenery?”
Yue Yufeng pondered for a while, then replied: “Just consider that we are
here to watch the scenery.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone present gasped, casting disdainful glances towards Yue Yufeng.
When Yang Zhen wasn’t present, this old witch was the first to mock, nearly causing the Wandering Lu You to vomit blood. Yet now, when faced with Yang Zhen who wanted to run her to an early grave, she dared to say such shameless words.
Everyone present shot Yue Yufeng a contemptuous look. To see the scenery on Flower Face Mountain? Were they out of their mind? What was there to see in this godforsaken place?
Hey, the surroundings were actually picturesque. It was an ideal place to build a pavilion or two, where they could sip some wine and chat about life and grand philosophies.
Many people began to discuss the surrounding scenery, nodding in approval from time to time which infuriated Yue Yufeng.
When they had initially arrived, they were filled with righteous indignation. At this moment, who would dare aid Yue Yufeng? Even a glance in her direction would arouse fear of Yang Zhen noticing, which could lead to his heavens filled with ghosts charging at them, leaving no room to run.
Yue Yufeng was so angry she could barely breathe. While fleeing, she wailed, “Yang Zhen, the Heavenly Ghost Tribulation Cloud is forming, are you really trying to drag me down with you?”
“That’s sort of the idea!” Yang Zhen relentlessly pursued her, “Unless you tell me, Sao Saint, how you knew that I saw certain things while in the celestial
shackles!”
Yue Yufeng sighed in relief as she quickly replied, “What’s so difficult about that? You just need to stop first, and I will surely tell you everything.
“No way, I don’t trust you. Tell me now. Oh goodness, the tribulation is forming!” Instead of stopping, Yang Zhen increased his pace.
Frightened, Yue Yufeng screamed, “Damn you! Although there are no records of the ancient secrets on the continent, it doesn’t mean there aren’t records of the Bone Mountain Prohibition. Why are you so insistent on me telling you when there are others who also know about it?”
-Why did you have to be arrogant just now? Don’t you know that the heavens strike down those who are arrogant?” Yang Zhen frowned, then continued, “What is the record of the Bone Mountain Prohibition? Does it have to do with the celestial shackles? Spill everything to me, Sao Saint, right now!
Boom—!
A powerful wave exploded in the sky, lighting it ablaze. Grey waves obstructed the sun while thunder dragons roiled within them, roaring across the heavens.
When Yue Yufeng heard the roaring thunder, she was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She hurriedly said:
“Saintess Tianxuan was indeed the one who laid down the Bone Mountain Prohibition, but it was unknown who placed the vast mountain of bones there. The celestial shackles existed before Saintess Tianxuan laid down the Bone Mountain Prohibition. It was the celestial shackles set down by the great, ancient sages. Over time, it had loosened a bit, and it was only then that Saintess Tianxuan and others tried to reinforce it.
It dawned on Yang Zhen, who now had a clearer understanding of both the
Bone Mountain Prohibition and the celestial shackles.
Even though this account was certainly not one hundred percent accurate, it was supposedly the closest approximation to the truth. However, why was it that Saintess Tianxuan and the others wanted to strengthen the Heavenly Chains rather than break them?
At this point, Yue Yufeng, fearing that Yang Zhen might suddenly speed up when the Heavenly Ghost descended, did not wait for Yang Zhen to continue his questioning and promptly said, “The Heavenly Chains are the shackles of the entire Northern Island. According to records, once the Heavenly Chains were broken, a doom so terrible it was unrecoverable would befall us. However, there are uncertainties contained within. Only those who broke the Heavenly Chains can see. Hence, we have come looking for you, to clarify the situation.”
Damn it!
Yang Zhen was both surprised and shocked. After all that, it turned out that was the case. All these people causing such a fuss, screaming as if they felt threatened by him.
Actually, once Yue Yufeng explained the reason behind all this, Yang Zhen understood immediately.
The powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Stage clearly understood this and only wanted to get the truth out from Yang Zhen. However, as the word spread from mouth to mouth among the strong cultivators at the Divine Travel Stage, for some unknown reason it became a case of casting blame on
him.
Therefore, the whole matter at Flower Face Mountain was more or less a farce. No wonder that old hag stated from the start that there was no need to harbor murderous intentions against him.
Yang Zhen paused, his face wore a strange expression as he looked at the group of Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators, their faces dark and unsettled. Schadenfreude was written all over his face as he broke into a smug chuckle. Damn it, they all understood the pain now. What were they doing before? If they didn’t get a little lesson, they wouldn’t understand how their superior attitudes affected others profoundly.
If those Tribulation Crossing cultivators had willingly lowered their status from the beginning, there might not have been such misunderstandings. The maiden and the young Taoist wouldn’t have to trouble themselves to travel such a long distance to this godforsaken place.
Serves them right!
Not knowing what Yang Zhen was thinking, Yue Yufeng who saw him stop, heaved a sigh of relief, immediately shot off, and left the area where Yang Zhen
was.
Boom—!
The terrifying thunder rumbling and rolling along the horizon, a horde of thunder dragons were wildly flying around in the sky, rushing out, the endless heavenly might pressuring Yang Zhen, nearly arching his terrifyingly strong body.
The Scoundrel Cat, standing within the crowd, stared in shock at Yang Zhen, mumbling to itself, “Damn it, this has really blown up. Can’t believe this bastard managed to invite the Heavenly Ghost Tribulation.”
“You didn’t know in advance?” Hua Youyue walked up to Scoundrel Cat, giving him an indignant look.
“Of course, I…” Scoundrel Cat turned its head back, and upon seeing Hua Youyue, the boastful words stopped in its throat, and it bashfully said, “Scoundrel Yang has chosen a very different path compared to others. His first Tribulation is bound to be unlike any other. However, I did not expect him to be able to call upon the Heavenly Ghost. But don’t worry, girl, this scoundrel is a lucky guy. If he can successfully survive this, his future potential will be
extraordinary.”
The young Taoist’s gaze never left Yang Zhen as she asked without turning back, “What are his chances of success?”
Without any hesitation, Scoundrel Cat answered, “Sixty percent!’ Seeing the hesitant look in Hua Youyue and the young Taoist’s eyes, the Scoundrel Cat chuckled ironically, grumbled, “Alright, there’s at least a fifty percent chance, okay, perhaps forty percent… never mind, definitely thirty percent for sure!”
“Liar!” the Pestering Chicken refuted disdainfully from the side.
Scoundrel Cat swiped at the Pestering Chicken, then turned around, its face flushed with embarrassment, “Ignore Pestering Chicken’s nonsense. Scoundrel Yang’s cultivation may not be much, but his realm is high, twenty percent.. If he can’t even reach twenty percent, I would walk on my tail from now
onwards!”
