Chapter 465: Chapter 471: What are You? (Second Update)
“Tell me the method to refine the Death Zy!”
Without any courtesies or detours, Lu Qiju’s straightforward demand shocked everyone present.
The crowd gasped, looking up into the air, and shook their heads with sighs.
“In the end, Yang Zhen was too arrogant!”
“Obviously, Yang Zhen does not understand that a tree that stands out in a forest will inevitably by destroyed. Even in front of a Mahayana Phase expert, he dares to be so high-profile and arrogant. Now, he even started to refine the Death Zy in front of so many practitioners. Although we don’t know how much of the Void Power Yang Zhen would absorb after refining the Death Zy, or whether he could even successfully intergrate it, it’s plain to see that Yang Zhen had caught the attention of the supreme elder of the Ke Clan.”
“Yes, with such a Mahayana Phase expert, as soon as he takes action, I’m afraid he won’t give anyone, especially Yang Zhen, any chance.”
“Yang Zhen had it coming with his defiant temperament and eccentric behavior. Such a man will invariably offend someone he can never afford to offend, ending in a tragic fate.”
Hearing the flurry of comments, Han Yan’er suddenly let out a cold huff, and an intense chill erupted from her body.
Everyone immediately fell silent, staring bewilderedly at the outraged Han Yan’er.
Han Yan’er highly trusted Hua Youyue’s words, and apart from the head of the Han family, no one else had a greater influence over her than Hua Youyue.
At this moment, Hua Youyue did not seem anxious as she gripped the hilt of the Sun Shadow sword, her hand exerting more and more force.
Han Yan’er, however, seemed to be somewhat impatient. She stared at the unnervingly somber face of Lu Qiju in mid-air, her eyes flickering with starlight.
In this situation, Yang Zhen had countless Death Zy lurking behind him, while Lu Qiju, the formidable Mahayana Phase expert stood in front with an indifferent countenance. Clearly, Yang Zhen had entered a difficult predicament with no easy way out.
“Damn, this old guy has no shame!” FatCat had widened his eyes, attempting to curse loudly, but was slapped away by Pompous Rooster.
“What the hell, Pompous Rooster you traitor, our kid’s about to be cooked, but you hit me instead. I’m done with you, you heartless bastard!”
FatCat and Pompous Rooster tangled, their expressions full of righteous anger, showing no sign of concern at all.
In mid-air, Yang Zhen looked at Lu Qiju with a weird expression, and said in surprise, “Senior, I do not understand what you are talking about. Could you explain it to me one more time?”
Lu Qiju’s face turned sullen, like he remembered something about Yang Zhen’s personality. He then laughed and said, “Boy, you do not need to be nervous, I have no intention of making it difficult for you!”
As he said this, Lu Qiju turned to look at the thousands of cultivators, particularly pausing on Elder Qian, before turning back to Yang Zhen saying, “You see the current situation, right? Nearly ten thousand cultivators have come to the Mobei abyss and discovered a great hidden treasure site. We have faced countless Death Zys, barely surviving…”
“So what?” Yang Zhen looked at Lu Qiju with a beaming smile, asking, “What is it exactly that you want to say, senior?”
Lu Qiju chuckled, staring at Yang Zhen as he said, “Since we discovered that these Death Zy contain Void Power within them, then this matter is not merely yours anymore, don’t you think that everyone present has a share in this?”
At these words, everyone below became excited, their faces eager as they stared at Yang Zhen.
“Unbelievable, I didn’t expect that the Supreme Elder of the Ke Clan would actually stand up for us!”
“If…if Yang Zhen, with his Tribulation Crossing Phase cultivation, can absorb the Void Power, and now the Supreme Elder of the Ke Clan is considering us in this way, doesn’t that mean we too have a chance to absorb the Void Power today?”
“Void Power, that’s an even more terrifying force than True Essence in the legends. If one can refine the Void Power, even a sliver of it, they’d be virtually invincible at their level.”
“I knew it, the Supreme Elder of the Ke Clan is indeed considerate of us. Now, in front of tens of thousands of practitioners, with the Supreme Elder of the Ke Clan speaking up for us, how dare Yang Zhen refuse?”
The crowd was thrilled, getting more and more excited. It was as if they had already mastered the Void Power and could go out and wreak havoc in the Northern Island of the Nether State.
Seeing the reaction of the nearly ten thousand people below, Lu Qiju chuckled, turned to Yang Zhen, and asked, “What do you think?”
“Not much!” A deep, aged voice came through.
Lu Qiju paused, then turned around and said, “Elder Qian, are you also going to take a stand for Yang Zhen?”
Elder Qian came over to them. He laughed and leisurely turned to Lu Qiju, “Originally, I didn’t plan to interfere in this matter, but aren’t you being somewhat shameless, Lu Qiju?”
On hearing this, people in the crowd looked stunned and began to whisper among themselves.
Lu Qiju’s expression gradually darkened. He was about to retort when a loud boom echoed through the air. A terrifying fire dragon roared beside the three men, incinerating countless Death Zys.
“Ah, the Death Zys killed by ordinary martial skills indeed have no void power appearing. Brother Qian, we have come here after much trouble, isn’t it to find some opportunities? The Ke clan has already lost a Saint and an elder, and we have found the method of absorbing void power. Are you willing to let it go to waste with Yang Zhen?”
Hearing his words, all the people present were once again excited.
Although Elder Qian intended to stop this matter, no one was dissatisfied. Elder Qian had always been good to everyone, so it was not surprising that he would help Yang Zhen under these circumstances.
But now, the two Mahayana Phase powerhouses wanted Yang Zhen to give up the method of absorbing void power. Elder Qian definitely wouldn’t be overly concerned as his power was limited. How could he contend with the Mahayana Phase powerhouses present?
The Foul Cat and Dirty Chicken, who were originally in a scuffle, stopped at once, looking dumbfounded at the sky.
“Damn it, another shameless old guy has come out. Yang Zhen is in danger!”
“Damn it!” Dirty Chicken also looked contemptuously at Lu Qiju in the sky and swore in a rare outburst.
“Old Ghost Qi, when did your clan become this unbearable?” Elder Qian looked strangely at the elderly man wrapped in a fire dragon, a hint of disdain flashing across his face.
Old Ghost Qi laughed heartily and said, “Elder Qian, there’s no need to drag the Fang clan into this. I’m not doing this for the Fang clan, but for all practitioners. I just want to discuss with Yang about the method of absorbing Void Power. This matter is not up to me or Lu. Whether to give it or not, we still need to ask Yang.”
After saying this, Old Ghost Qi laughed again and looked at Yang Zhen, saying, “Yang, what do you think?”
All eyes fell on Yang Zhen. For a moment, the entire world seemed filled with the buzzing sounds of thousands of Death Zys.
Seeing a smile gradually appear on Yang Zhen’s face, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at him nervously.
If he refused at this point, even with Elder Qian’s intervention, Yang Zhen would undoubtedly die.
But if he revealed the method of absorbing Void Power, wouldn’t everyone here have a chance at obtaining this power?
The thought of this possibility made everyone’s breath hitch.
At this moment, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked at Old Ghost Qi, and said, “What the elder said is extremely true. It’s no big deal to reveal the method. But I have a question in my heart, and I hope the elder can answer me.”
On hearing Yang Zhen’s words, even Old Ghost Qi, despite his Mahayana Phase cultivation, couldn’t help but feel excited. He quickly stepped forward and asked, “What’s the question, ask away. I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Everyone was nervous. Hua Youyue, Han Yan’er, Mo Xueling, the Foul Cat and Dirty Chicken, all were staring intensely at Yang Zhen. Especially Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, their swords were humming continuously.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked Old Ghost Qi in the eyes and asked, “My question is simple… What do you think you are?”
