Chapter 525: Chapter 531: Sitting Quietly Watching Someone Show Off! (Third Update)
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up. It had been a long time since anything exciting had happened, and now, finally, there was a fellow practitioner who knew how to show off. Yang Zhen hurriedly raised his head, looking with interest.
Before he could see who the person was at the entrance of the stairway, he heard another all-too-familiar voice.
“Brother Fang, are these the grandfather and grandson you mentioned? The ones who refuse to leave Final Void Mountain?”
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Yang Zhen hurriedly pulled out a large straw hat from his storage ring and put it on, pressing it down a bit more for good measure.
There were all sorts of practitioners with hats in the teahouse, and even many strangely attired folks. Yang Zhen wearing a large straw hat didn’t stand out at all. This was a necessary precaution; he had not expected to run into someone he knew in such a remote place.
The person was none other than Lu Tianwei, who’d almost been choked to death by a Divine Transformation Stage Dark Puppet after being tricked into jumping off a cliff by Yang Zhen.
How did the people of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Land get involved with the people of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land?
From Lu Tianwei’s full-bodied voice, it was obvious that he had almost fully recovered from his injuries. He was indeed a mighty Mahayana Phase practitioner. Despite having suffered near-fatal injuries, he was now back up and strutting about in no time.
The people of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Land were indeed flamboyant, Yang Zhen had come to understand this well. In fact, it wasn’t just the people of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Land; all these newly emerging powers were quite arrogant. They had been dormant for a long time, and everyone wanted a chance to flex their muscles and affirm their existence.
The name of a great power is not something that can be earned by hiding in the mountains; it has to be fought for.
Celebrities on this blue planet were always devising ways to make headlines. The Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each manifesting its divine power. So, Yang Zhen put on a large straw hat simply to avoid disturbing Lu Tianwei’s and Fang Zhongjian’s show.
Just sitting here and watching them show off wasn’t so bad either.
As expected, peering from under his hat, Yang Zhen soon saw Lu Tianwei and a handsome youth approaching.
The handsome youth had a wicked grin and an air of arrogance about him, reminding one of a tyrant. His eyes lit up at the sight of Luoluo and he headed straight towards her.
“Lu Brother, allow me to introduce you. This is Master Tie, the head of the destitute Final Void Academy situated on Final Void Mountain, along with his granddaughter, Tie Luoluo!”
Lu Tianwei guffawed and stepping forwards, addressed Master Tie and Luoluo with a smile, “Master Tie, a pleasure to finally meet you. Miss Luoluo, long time no see.”
Luoluo sneered at Lu Tianwei, “How come I keep running into you everywhere?”
“Eh?” Fang Zhongjian looked puzzledly between the two. “Do you two know each other?”
“No!”
The two said in unison, after which Lu Tianwei chuckled and said, “We’ve simply met once before. And from what I can tell, this Miss Luoluo seems to look up to Yang Zhen quite a bit.”
Luoluo’s eyes widened and she shot back immediately, “Who I look up to has nothing to do with you. Oh, I remember now. You had quite the misfortune at the hands of Yang Zhen during our expedition in Mobei Abyss, didn’t you? And Yang Zhen got the super, super, super big inheritance in the end. It’s no wonder you can’t stand to hear his name.”
Hmm?
Yang Zhen chuckled; this little fangirl was amusing.
Lu Tianwei’s face instantly darkened and he eyed Luoluo and asked, “Who told you that?”
Luoluo grinned cheekily, “That’s for me to know. So, are you two planning on joining forces to bully us weak, sick, and elderly ones?”
Weak, sick, and elderly…?
The corners of everyone’s mouth twitched at these words.
If Master Tie, a Mahayana Phase practitioner nearing his peak, was considered old, none in attendance could refute it. After all, Master Tie was indeed quite advanced in years.
But if Luoluo, a young girl barely in her teens with a Tribulation Crossing Period cultivation, having reportedly endured two Heavenly Tribulations (one of them being a special one), and blessed with extraordinary talent and good fortune, was considered weak, then the rest of the crowd probably couldn’t match up.
Seeing the varying expressions on Lu Tianwei’s face, Fang Zhongjian laughed heartily, “Brother Lu, why bother yourself with this young girl. I’ve had to deal with her sharp tongue many times. The reason I invited you here is to drive these two out of the Final Void Mountain.”
Lu Tianwei snorted coldly, giving Master Tie a nod.
Just as Master Tie was about to speak, Fang Zhongjian suddenly chuckled and said, “Master Tie, why do you persist? Within the entire Final Void Academy, only maiden Luoluo remains, and she’s your granddaughter. Are you willing to be enemies with the whole Heavenly Spring Sacred Land for such a dilapidated place?”
“Is it worth it?”
Master Tie snorted coldly, his face turned ashen. “Let me ask you, why isn’t your Heavenly Spring Sacred Land leaving Final Void Mountain?”
“Old man, you’re being unreasonable. If you stay obstinate, don’t blame me for being impolite. An old man like you is not even worth the intervention of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. I alone am more than enough to make you regret it for the rest of your life.”
“Ah!” Luoluo suddenly glared at Fang Zhongjian, “You can try it, are we supposed to be afraid of you?”
Fang Zhongjian laughed heartily, “Of course, Maiden Luoluo wouldn’t be afraid. With the support from Master Tie, an extraordinary being in the Mahayana Phase, what’s there to be afraid of? However…surely you can’t stay at the Final Void Academy forever? Once you leave, I’m afraid the academy might just…”
“Bastard!”
The color drained from Master Tie’s face as an explosive wave of energy erupted from him. Like a sea of ink, it swept over the entire teahouse, enveloping Fang Zhongjian and Lu Tianwei in an instant.
Fang Zhongjian laughed heartily, “Old man, you finally acted. Now we can fight freely.”
“You guys have been too oppressive! Why should we leave such a vast mountain range just because you arrived?”
A Judge’s Pen suddenly appeared in Master Tie’s hand, abruptly pointing towards Fang Zhongjian.
Everyone gasped in surprise, not expecting the two to start fighting without any discussion.
The volatile waves surged greatly. Endless energy swirled around Master Tie’s Judge’s Pen, like a swirling vortex of thunder, rushing towards Fang Zhongjian.
Yang Zhen was slightly taken aback. Despite his scholarly appearance, Master Tie indeed had the cultivation of a peak Mahayana Phase practitioner, which was evident from this move.
Against such a person, unless Fang Zhongjian and Lu Tianwei had extraordinary means, they wouldn’t stand a chance. Besides, there was Luoluo, a Tribulation Crossing Period practitioner, whose power was not to be underestimated.
As the waves were about to hit Fang Zhongjian’s face, everyone in the teahouse gasped in amazement and backed away, staring in horror at Master Tie, who was as ferocious as a raging storm.
Just then, Yang Zhen’s eyebrows twitched.
A long sword suddenly appeared in Fang Zhongjian’s hand. Amid his laughter, he said to Lu Tianwei, “Brother Lu, please cover me. I’ve finally brought out the Unblemished Sword. Let me put an end to this ungrateful old man.”
A subtle smile flashed across Lu Tianwei’s face as he also erupted in a burst of volatile energy, shielding Fang Zhongjian. “Brother Fang, feel free to take action!”
“Sacred weapon!”
Master Tie’s face turned pale, and he hesitated slightly.
Clang——!
A sound of clashing weapons resonated, Master Tie staggered with a muffled grunt, looking palely at the severed Judge’s Pen in his hand.
“Old man, this Unblemished Sword is not just a sacred weapon. Today, if you do not agree to never return to the Final Void Mountain, it will be your end.”
Buzz——!
An eerie aura exploded from the Unblemished Sword, sweeping towards Master Tie in an even stranger manner.
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly received information from the Great Missing Sword in his mind, a look of surprise crossing his face. He looked at Fang Zhongjian’s sword and said incredulously, “What the hell are you saying? Want to swallow this sword?”
