Chapter 400: Chapter 406 – What are you waiting for! Get him! (One update)
The Cheap Cat screwed up just one sentence and left Yang Zhen completely dumbfounded.
Glancing back at the confused and exasperated faces of the Sha Clan, Yang Zhen almost bolted away with Cheap Cat and Provocative Chicken.
Did I just insult the wrong people?
Watching Cheap Cat looking gleefully pleased at the confusion, Yang Zhen shot him a threatening stare saying “Damn it, you better clarify what you said to this Sao Saint. Otherwise, I’ll stuff you into that statue.
Cheap Cat shrunk his neck, shouting angrily, “Damn, kid, you can’t just jump to conclusions’.”
“And whose fault is that for leaving sentences half said?” Yang Zhen swiftly blamed him.
“You’re shameless!” Cheap Cat sneered, “Just now on the mountain, I had another feeling. My judgment was correct. You were wrong. There was no need for you to insult them. It was impossible for them to accomplish the Heavenly
Opening.”
“Why’S that?” Yang Zhen was caught off guard, looking curiously at the Cheap
Cat.
The Sha Clan Elder’s face darkened, he stared at Cheap Cat and scoffed, “This is ridiculous! Whether or not we can accomplish the Heavenly Opening, do you think I wouldn’t know?”
The other Sha tribal people in the area were also staring angrily at Cheap Cat, looking like they would boil him in a pot if he didn’t explain himself clearly. Cheap Cat chuckled dismissively, perched on Yang Zhen’s shoulder, completely unphased by the Sha Clan Elder’s fierce gaze. He arrogantly said, “Old man, did you sleep your brains out? You didn’t even understand the situation and blindly went into the Heavenly Opening. What you’re doing isn’t a Heavenly Opening, it’s a disaster!”
“Scoundrel!” One Sha Clan member behind the Sha Clan Elder angrily shouted, hitting his cane heavily on the ground, creating a low thundering sound, “Explain then, how did our Sha Clan commit a sin?
The Sha tribespeople surrounded Yang Zhen all at once, all of them fixed their gaze on Yang Zhen and the Cheap Cat in the crowd, their intentions were clearly not benign.
ironically, what should have been a sacred Heavenly Opening ceremony that had been missing from the world for a long time was disrupted by Yang Zhen, who dragged out the supposed Saint Lady in the middle of their worship. This had already infuriated the Sha people. Now turning up here with this Cheap Cat, accusing them of committing sins was simply absurd to the extreme.
If there hadn’t been so many practitioners from other tribes around, the people of Sha probably would have mobbed Yang Zhen, the Cheap Cat, and his ’superior’ Provocative Chicken a long time ago.
Cheap Cat didn’t answer the Sha people but looked at Yang Zhen, sneering, “Kid, you were able to come and go freely thanks to the formation that the Sky Crying Great Saint laid down. Couldn’t you see that someone had meddled with this world?”
“What?”
The Sha Clan Elder was furious, pointing at Cheap Cat and shouting, “This world was purified by our Saint Lady with a great force. It cannot be defiled by others, let alone be tampered with. Today, you guys must give me a clear explanation, or else, none of you is leaving this place.”
Yang Zhen glanced at the Sha Clan Elder without addressing the obviously befuddled old man.
These ancient tribes and Secret Clans often acted above it all, dealt with things loftily and arrogantly. Dealing with them was displeasing to Yang Zhen. However, their treasures were something which were admirable.
Although Cheap Cat was untrustworthy at times, it was clearly not the time to joke around. If Cheap Cat said that someone had tampered with the place, then it should indeed have been tampered with.
Yang Zhen looked intently, and within his Divine Consciousness Space, the Ksitigarbha Chapter suddenly emitted an intense radiance. Almost instantly, it took in the entire cave.
Cheap Cat’s facetious voice echoed around as it spoke to the Sha Clan Elder with a look of disdain, “Old man, you keep saying that nobody can tread upon this land, let me ask you, how did the Ice Palace Cluster get here?
“That… That is an inheritance from ancient times. It existed even before our Saint Lady chose this place!” The Sha Clan elder argued, staring defiantly, “It’s just that we didn’t know why when we activated the Ice Palace Cluster’s formation, it suddenly appeared.”
Cheap Cat let out a weird laugh, stating in a strange tone, “You guys are so amazing. When you invoked your own formation, you managed to somehow bring out an ancient relic. You really are chosen by destiny.
“What… what do you mean by that?”
“Nothing much. But if you guys are still oblivious and have whimsical thoughts about the Heavenly Opening, I guarantee you can’t accomplish it now. The grand formation that your Saint Lady has laid for you all these millennia will become someone else’s dessert!”
“You… you’re talking nonsense!”
“Whether it’s nonsense or not, neither your say nor mine matters. Lad, did you figure it out or not?”
The last sentence was for Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen nodded solemnly and said, “I didn’t figure it out!”
The Gloomy Cat staggered and looked at Yang Zhen with a puzzled expression. Yang Zhen smiled smugly at the Gloomy Cat. “Look who’s stealing the Sao Saint’s thunder!”
Speaking, Yang Zhen turned to the Sha Clan Elder. “The Heaven Concealment Formation, though constructed from heaven and earth, must’ve caused injuries to your saint. She’s been struck with Yang energy, inhibiting her Yin energy growth. Hence, this place is guarded by a terrifying Yin Spirit Ice Sculpture filled with lethal aura. Am I right, Sao Saint?”
“Impossible!” The Sha Clan Elder’s expression dramatically changed. He looked at Yang Zhen in shock and asked, “How did you figure this out?
The remaining Sha Clan members, too, looked at Yang Zhen in shock. This was the Sha Clan’s secret, strictly unshareable. In fact, even Sha Clan members didn’t know why the Yin Spirit Ice Sculpture was placed here instead of their ancestral land.
Now that Yang Zhen had revealed the secret, everyone realized in retrospect that the saint had indeed been gravely injured while casting the formation of heaven and earth.
But how knowledgeable in Ksitigarbha Chapter must one be to foresee, in a glance, the injures that the formation caster encountered?
Everyone was looking at Yang Zhen with uncertainty. Even Old Ghost Hei and Palace Master Liu came closer, staring at him in astonishment.
“How the Sao Saint figures things out isn’t something you need to know!” Yang Zhen sneered as he looked up at the splendid Ice Palace Cluster in the sky.
“This Ice Palace Cluster may indeed be a relic of an ancient era, but its structure and veins do not correspond to this place’s Feng Shui. Hence, there’s only one possibility: this massive Ice Palace Cluster was moved here after you fell asleep!”
“What?”
Everyone was startled and horrified as they turned to look at the Ice Palace Cluster, with incredulous expressions in their eyes.
What kind of power could move such a massive building complex here?
Let alone shifting an entire architectural complex, even the smallest palace here couldn’t be moved an inch by the most powerful practitioner present.
The Sha Clan Elder’s face dramatically changed, displaying an uncertain look. Yang Zhen looked at the Gloomy Cat and continued, “The Ice Palace Cluster’s location steals the Yin, and with the frigid temperature here, it’s clear that if the evil aura in this ice sculpture ever erupts, your Sha Clan’s millenma-old aura will all be…”
At this point, Yang Zhen pointed at the grandest entrance of the Ice Palace Cluster, and abruptly said, “All will be stolen by the one inside!”
-No, that’s impossible. Who has such a great ability to deceive the heavens and swap the days?” The Sha Clan Elder’s face turned pale, but it looked hke he was halfway convinced.
The Sha Clansmen have a profound understanding of the Ksitigarbha Chapter formations. Naturally, they knew whether what Yang Zhen was blabbering or telling the truth.
Just as the Sha Clan members were in a state of perplexity, a deafening roar came from the grandest hall in the Ice Palace Cluster. It sounded like someone was enraged because his plans were being disrupted.
The next moment, a wave of black energy surged out from the grand hall, forming a shadow.
“The Sky Crying Great Saint!” The Sha Clan Elder’s face went as white as a sheet. He then roared in anger, “No, how could it be him!
Yang Zhen chuckled, “What are you standing there for? Get him!” After speaking, Yang Zhen backed into the crowd afore anyone else. Damn, this is a Great Saint!
