Chapter 70: Shameless

The young woman’s face rapidly changed color as she looked at Hua Youyue with a terrified expression, seemingly recalling something. She hastily said in a respectful voice, “Wan Yue didn’t know that the Flower Tower Master was here, I beg your pardon for any inadvertent offenses.”

Hua Youyue didn’t even spare a glance at the young woman—obviously incidents like this happened too often. She glanced at Yang Zhen and said, “Let’s go!”

Yang Zhen glanced at Wan Yue from Wanhua Valley, so Golden Core Stage was quite amazing, huh? But wasn’t a Golden Core Stage in front of a Nascent Soul Stage still obediently admitting their wrongs?

Hua Youyue was really too young. At the same age in her early twenties, while others were still overjoyed about breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Hua Youyue was already a Nascent Soul Stage Expert.

Who could have imagined that a woman in her early twenties was a Nascent Soul Stage Expert? Because of this, many practitioners paid the price of their lives in recent years.

When Hua Youyue came to the Cloud Platform, she nodded to Tan Fenglie and said, “Lord Tan, I presume you also received the message. Since the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower has already shown signs of movement, why don’t we go straight there?”

Tan Fenglie laughed and with great significance cast a glance at Yang Zhen, nodding agreement, “What Lady Hua said is right. I was just about to lead some people to the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, wouldn’t it be convenient to go together?”

Hua Youyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Lord Tan.”

“Please, Lady Hua!”

Tan Fenglie was a generous man, and although Yang Zhen didn’t like him, he also didn’t have any bad feelings about him. Following behind Hua Youyue, he winked at the crowd who were eyeing him.

With Hua Youyue there, even if these guys hated Yang Zhen to death, they wouldn’t dare to be too reckless. This was the Nether Sun Country’s Flame City, home to Lord Tan and Changyue Tower. These people from the three countries naturally had to give the two of them some face.

Yang Zhen knew that Hua Youyue intended to protect his life before entering the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, but he didn’t expect Tan Fenglie to force his way in as well.

The fact that Tan Fenglie accompanied Hua Youyue was enough to prove that Tan Fenglie was warning those with ulterior motives not to take advantage of Yang Zhen.

Initially, Yang Zhen was somewhat puzzled, but he soon understood. Regardless of whether Yang Zhen was currently a part of Changyue Tower or simply a citizen of the Nether Sun Country, he was worthy of Tan Fenglie’s protection.

“Has the Flower Tower Master heard any other news?” Tan Fenglie asked as they walked.

Hua Youyue glanced at Tan Fenglie and shook her head, “I have no certain news, did Lord Tan hear something?”

Tan Fenglie chuckled, “The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower seems to be somewhat different this time. Some say that due to the breaking of the seal in the Nine-Layer World, the True Essence in the other eight layers has surged, even the energy between heaven and earth has become richer. If a Golden Pill cultivator trains inside, the results will be twice as achieved with half the effort.”

“Could this be true?” Hua Youyue hesitated.

Tan Fenglie nodded, “The message should be reliable. All the sects in the three great cultivation countries have received the message and all their Gold Pill Stage cultivators have come over. This is just a part of it, I’m afraid there will be even more in the future.”

Hua Youyue nodded, “We should not delay, let’s enter the Exquisite Tower as soon as possible!”

Everyone left one after another, leaving not many people at the top of the peak in no time.

Within the realm of Dajiang Country, Yun Jie and Zeng Bishu had grim faces, wearing bitter smiles in the face of their Senior Brother.

Yun Jie looked at Zeng Bishu, introducing a short lama next to him, “Brother Zeng, this is my Senior Brother Yan Kong in my sect. He is only two years older than us, but he’s already a Golden Pill Stage Expert. Whether it comes to his understanding or his Spirit Root, he is exceptionally talented and very powerful. With him here, even if Yang Zhen has the protection of the Flower Tower Master, Yang Zhen won’t be able to survive.”

Zeng Bishu nodded, then the young man next to him wearing a feathered fan and a silk scarf snorted coldly, calmly taking a look at Yuan Kong.

“May I ask the name of this gentleman?” Yuan Kong pressed his palms together, inquiring the young man.

Zeng Bishu quickly said, “This is Senior Brother Luo Kun, a rare Water Spirit Root. He is one of the strongest among the younger generation in the sect and is highly regarded by the elders.”

Yuan Kong’s expression changed, he exclaimed in surprise, “So, it’s the Water Spirit Root Luo Kun. I have heard a lot about you but had never had the chance to meet. Now that I have met you, I can say that your reputation is well-deserved.”

Luo Kun nodded, his feather fan had vanished without a trace and he asked with a frown, “The boy appears to only be at the Foundation Establishment stage, how did he manage to injure you two so gravely?”

Yun Jie and Zeng Bishu exchanged a glance, then bitterly smiled and said, “Senior Brother Luo, you may not know this. Yang Zhen is a despicable and cunning man who will stop at nothing. We were careless and fell into his trap. If you ever encounter Yang Zhen, be careful.”

Luo Kun snorted coldly, then lightly glanced at Yun Jie and said, “It seems you misunderstand something about the Golden Core Stage. Even a mere Foundation Establishment kid or ten of him at the Minor Mahayana Phase are futile. In the face of absolute power, any despicable means are a joke!”

Yun Jie’s face changed, just as he was about to reply, Yuan Kong laughed and said, “You two go and heal your injuries first!”

Then, Yuan Kong turned to Luo Kun and the young woman Wan Yue from the Valley of Thousands Flowers and said, “The three of us, all Golden Core Stage Experts, ganging up on a mere Foundation Establishment kid could make us a laughing stock. How about a wager instead?”

Wan Yue giggled and looked at Yuan Kong, asking, “Do monks gamble?”

Yuan Kong said mysteriously, “We, practitioners, act in accordance with the heavens, yet few realize that this is like gambling with one’s life. We already gamble with our lives, what’s the harm in a small wager?”

Wan Yue and Luo Kun exchanged a look, then smiled and said, “Fine, we’ll follow Senior Brother Yuan Kong’s suggestion. What are the stakes?”

“Whoever kills Yang Zhen gets first priority to enter the Nine-layer World, how about that?”

Upon hearing this, Wan Yue and Luo Kun laughed together and said, “Senior Brother Yuan Kong, you’re not underestimating the rest of the Golden Core Stage practitioners in this world, are you?”

Yuan Kong laughed, full of implication, and said, “Aren’t you two thinking the same?”

Wan Yue and Luo Kun smiled and chorused, “In that case, let’s see who can claim Yang Zhen’s life first!”

Yun Jie and Zeng Bishu wanted to say something but didn’t, a sense of unease reflected in each other’s eyes.

However, they didn’t say much else in the end. Those who were prodigiously talented were usually proud. They had the capital to be proud, and in the end, it was just about who had stronger capabilities or talents.

Moreover, Yuan Kong was not wrong. Among the Golden Core Stage experts who had come to Flame City, there was probably not one they took seriously.

Elsewhere, Yang Zhen dutifully followed Hua Youyue to a towering stone tower, looking awestruck.

In the valley of the North Mountain, a terrifyingly wild aura filled the air. The area was filled with towering trees and rugged boulders, and even the air seemed saturated with an ancient aura.

In the center of the valley, a colossal stone tower rose to the sky. It bore the traces of time, appearing as if it had always existed since time immemorial.

Hua Youyue stared at the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower for a moment before turning to Yang Zhen and said, “In order to avoid unnecessary damage, Golden Core Stage practitioners and above don’t proceed personally. Nevertheless, you should not let your guard down.”

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “As long as that old monk and the old hipster don’t go in, I don’t care. As for those three golden pill stage guys, they wouldn’t stoop so low as to gang up on me, right?”

On hearing Yang Zhen use the words ‘despicable’ and ‘shameless’, a peculiar expression appeared on everyone’s faces.

In terms of being despicable and shameless, who could be more so than you?
