Chapter 592: Chapter 599: Sixteen Divinations, No Divination Without You! (One more)
News of Yang Zhen and his party forcing the withdrawal of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land stirred up a huge commotion in Northern Island.
Rumors intensified. Some stated that the Divine Transformation Stage expert from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land merely spared Yang Zhen out of admiration. Without this, even with the protection of Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, Yang Zhen and his company would not have escaped unscathed.
Others argued that Yang Zhen was not afraid of the Heavenly Spring expert at all. After all, Yang Zhen had killed Divine Transformation Stage experts before, what did it matter if he killed another?
As these two different rumors spread like wildfire, the opening of the ancient ruins grew closer.
All of Northern Island was in a frenzy. Countless people moved towards Northern Island, causing a slight change in the Heaven and Earth Qi there. The farther north, the more tumultuous it became.
The chatter about the ancient ruins increased while everyone seemed to forget about Yang Zhen and Li Cangxu.
Not until one day, when word went around that Li Cangxu planned to wait for Yang Zhen inside the ancient ruins.
It was then people realized that the Divine Transformation Stage expert from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land had likely never intended to kill Yang Zhen. Instead, he wanted Li Cangxu to deal with Yang Zhen personally.
For a moment, while people looked forward to the opening of the ancient ruins, they were also eagerly anticipating the looming battle between Li Cangxu and Yang Zhen.
In the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, amidst a world of ice and snow, two snow lotuses bloomed at the mountain peak, quietly facing the setting sun.
Donned in a snow-white robe, Yang Zhen seemed to blend into the world. His hair billowing in the wind as he turned to glance at Hua Youyue. As it happened, she was looking at Yang Zhen as well.
“Are you really going?”
Hua Youyue’s voice was calm. Her face displayed tranquility and a hint of a smile. As she looked at Yang Zhen, it was as if she saw her whole world, and nothing else mattered.
Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue with a teasing smile. Instead of answering her question, he asked, “Why are you two here?”
Hua Youyue was taken aback. She turned her head to stare at the distant sunset and answered, “We… We worry about you!”
Yang Zhen held Hua Youyue’s hand and said seriously, “Young lady, do you remember me telling you that I am actually very strong?”
Hua Youyue nodded, staring at their intertwined hands. Without any hesitation, she tightens her grip on Yang Zhen’s hand and said, “This world… it has problems, I…”
Yang Zhen burst out in hearty laughter, pulling Hua Youyue into his arms, gazing at the vast sky filled with clouds, his laughter unrestrained.
Hua Youyue quieted down, resting her head on Yang Zhen’s shoulder, sucking in a deep breath before closing her eyes.
“This world has problems, you say?” Yang Zhen squinted, “Of course it does, and they’re major ones at that. But what does that have to do with us?”
Hua Youyue looked up at Yang Zhen, her eyes filled with surprise.
“Are you worried I’ll die?” Yang Zhen glanced at Hua Youyue.
A radiant smile suddenly bloomed on Hua Youyue’s face. For a moment, it seemed as if time had frozen.
Yang Zhen could feel his heartbeat, and he could just as easily sense Hua Youyue’s. It was strange, in this moment, as their gaze met, words seemed insufficient.
“Going there, I feared you would die, seeing you now, I fear I would die. It’s strange, but at this moment, even if death proceeded, it wouldn’t… really matter.”
Hua Youyue did not look away from Yang Zhen. Her lips slightly parted as she said, “This feeling … It’s strange, but it … feels good …”
In the next instant, Hua Youyue’s eyes widened in shock, her gaze fixed on Yang Zhen so close to her, his masculine aura making her body stiffen with force, until, after what seemed like forever, she finally relaxed.
The wind in her ears, the clouds at the horizon, and the distant Han Yan’er, everything seemed to have come to a standstill. In this moment, only Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue existed in the world, so much so that when their eyes closed, Yang Zhen forgot everything else.
Han Yan’er quietly withdrew, her Sun Shadow Holy Soldier trembling violently in her hand. Yet she appeared oblivious, her steps haphazard, not even noticing that she had strayed from her path.
This moment was almost surreal!
Yang Zhen hadn’t quite expected a woman’s lips to feel so electrifying. His whole head felt numb and his tongue stammered.
However, this kind of feeling was not uncomfortable, it was like floating in the air.
Looking at Hua Youyue’s face that was like glowing vermeil even without makeup, Yang Zhen stood up, took a deep breath, grinned, and roared to the distant mountains:
“Hua Youyue, you are my woman, Yang Zhen’s woman From today onwards, anyone who dares to hurt you, this Sao Saint will make them disappear into thin air, even if the heavens dare to spite you, this Sao Saint will also punch it full of holes.”
The face of Hua Youyue, whose complexion was slightly ruby, bloomed into the most beautiful smile in the world while she stared at the back of Yang Zhen.
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed in the midair and a flash of Black Thunder passed by.
Hua Youyue’s body jolted, her color abruptly changed, she slowly stood up, grabbed Yang Zhen’s hand, and stared at the quiet sky with a serious face.
Boom, boom!
In the distant mountains, an avalanche had begun, as if heaven and earth were shaking, the momentum was earth-shattering, forming a raging flood in a blink of an eye and rushing towards the foot of the mountain.
Yang Zhen was startled, “Damn it, the avalanche really started?”
…
At the foot of the mountain, Han Yan’er’s Sun Shadow sword was moving slowly, her skirt flying, moving like a tiger sprinting, beautiful and consequently captivating!
Sword light and snow shadow, drifting and flashing around Han Yan’er in a green dress, countless snowflakes fluttering in the surroundings, dancing, and falling relentlessly!
Boom, boom!
The terrifying avalanche flood rushed at her in a blink of an eye, but Han Yan’er seemed unfazed, her sword humming, as the flood surged under her feet. Just as the huge avalanche engulfed Han Yan’er, a green phoenix soared into the sky, and the flood gradually faded. However, Han Yan’er’s dancing with the sword did not stop for a moment.
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire world was moving according to Han Yan’er’s rhythm.
Hua Youyue stood next to Yang Zhen, stared at the calm sky, and said, “On the way here, Yan’er had asked an Astrology Master to predict the future…”
As she spoke, Hua Youyue paused and looked up at Yang Zhen, continuing, “Do you have to go to the Ancient Ruins?”
Yang Zhen smiled slightly, “We’re already this far in, I’d regret it if I didn’t go. What did the Astrology Master say about the prophecy?”
After hesitating for a moment, Hua Youyue took a deep breath and said, “The Heavens and Earth will change, the Ancient Ruins will come up with a Hexagram, but it doesn’t include you!”
“What the hell?” Yang Zhen was confounded!
How could it be possible that he wouldn’t be included, was he going to die as soon as he entered?
Regardless of the final battle with the Divine Transformation Stage practitioner of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, or the tentative relationship with Li Cangxu, in this fight, he should be in the Hexagram.
Yang Zhen, filled with curiosity, looked at Hua Youyue, and asked, “What did the Astrology Master say in the end?”
Hua Youyue shook her head and replied, “He said, the world has three hexagrams, if you step out, you step out, even the ancient people do not exceed the three hexagrams, if you are not in it, it means more bad luck than good.”
Yang Zhen sneered, “Nonsense, you believe such words?”
“This Astrology Master has a great reputation!”
“So what?”
“So… Yan’er beat him up!”
Yang Zhen burst out laughing, unable to stop himself, squinting at the direction of the Ancient Ruins, he was even more curious about the secrets hidden inside.
