Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes Chapter 1012

Chapter 1012: Chapter 1039: Rumors Are Deadly in the Jianghu! (First Update) Chapter 1012: Chapter 1039: Rumors Are Deadly in the Jianghu! (First Update) Desperate, Berte was truly desperate, his face an odd mismatch of colors. If it hadn't been for the interest he harbored in the words out of Yang Zhen's mouth, he probably would have drawn his sword and attacked by now.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said seriously to Berte, “Don't be hasty, I'm doing this for your own good. Looking at you, you must be disciples of the Great Desolation's heritage, right? May I ask which Sacred Land you hail from?”

Berte snorted coldly, his face again adopting a proud demeanor, while Qi Yunling chuckled and said, “We are disciples of the Aurora Sanctuary from East State. Those strong individuals who died under the Reincarnation Clock that Iron Bull mentioned…”
Realizing what they meant, Yang Zhen exclaimed in sudden enlightenment and, clasping his hands together, said, “Ah, so you are disciples of the Aurora Sanctuary. I've heard much about you. Having lived in the deep mountains and recently rejoined the world, I am unaware of the current situation. Has the Reincarnation Clock truly appeared?”

Upon hearing this, Berte's face turned an ashen shade of iron and, staring at Yang Zhen, he said, “You just claimed that you had just woken up.”

Yang Zhen waved his hand dismissively and asked with a puzzled face, “Did I say that just now?”

“You did!” Berte's eyes shone with malice, his expression that of someone who has exposed Yang Zhen's true colors.

Yang Zhen burst into hearty laughter, patted Berte on the shoulder, and said, “Don't sweat the small stuff. I've awoken from the depths of the old forests, so that counts as living in seclusion in the mountains, doesn't it?”

“This…” Berte was utterly bewildered, suddenly feeling at a loss, obviously unsure of how to respond next.

Yang Zhen and the disciples of the Aurora Sanctuary each harbored their own motives; no one present was a fool, all understanding that without revealing something, there could be no genuine cooperation.

However, Yang Zhen held unique and valuable information, with a stomach full of bluffs at the ready. Revealing just a snippet could dazzle the others, so there was no need for haste. He continued strolling leisurely forward.

“Iron Bull, please wait!”

Qi Yunling's face flickered with surprise as she beckoned to Yang Zhen, saying, “If Iron Bull has truly seen the Reincarnation Clock, then Yunling will be an open book in return!”

Hearing this, Berte's complexion darkened completely, he looked at Qi Yunling anxiously and whispered with concern, “Junior Sister Yunling, this Yang Tieniu is of unknown origin, very mysterious. We should be cautious. What if he's from Tianle Holy Land or the Dust-free Holy Land? Won't all our actions then be under their surveillance?”

Qi Yunling smiled, looking at Yang Zhen and said, “Even if that's not the case, can our actions really escape the people from the Dust-free Holy Land and Tianle Holy Land anyway?”

Berte was taken aback, his mouth agape, but he was unable to articulate a response.

Yang Zhen smiled broadly, looking at Qi Yunling and said, “I just love the way Miss Ling'er speaks; it's so pleasing to hear. Unlike some people, who act as if the whole world owes them crystals. That kind of attitude won't win you any friends.”

“You…” Berte's face turned the color of iron, and he was almost ready to draw his sword.

Yang Zhen, grinning widely, moved closer to Qi Yunling and asked with excitement, “Where shall we go to have fun next?”

Go have fun?

Upon hearing this, the five individuals around him all wore expressions of speechlessness, looking at Yang Zhen and stopping themselves from speaking.

Seeing their expressions, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “Don't worry. If we run into people from Tianle Holy Land or Dust-free Holy Land, I'll chase them away myself without you lifting a finger. Those people are also a bunch without friends, and… I'm actually quite powerful.”

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Qi Yunling chuckled, neither agreeing nor disputing, but merely glanced at Berte, suggesting that Yang Zhen did not seem to be from Tianle Holy Land or Dust-free Holy Land.

Among the group, another young woman looked timid, her eyes occasionally stealing glances at Yang Zhen. Gaining some bravery, she spoke up, “You… Iron Bull, find somewhere to wash your face. In your current state, it's just too… odd.”

“Is it?” Yang Zhen wiped his face, which had become a dirty mess during his endeavor to break through the world's forbidden barriers. Yang Zhen's action made his face even more comically smeared, eliciting giggles from the two female disciples, much to his amazement, while Berte was utterly confounded.

Sometimes, a girl's mind is just so peculiar. When she takes a fancy to you, even if you are covered in dust and looking utterly disheveled, you're still interesting to her. But when she doesn't like you, even if you are handsome and dashing, you appear to be just putting on airs.

Clearly, Bo Tai was dumbfounded by the series of actions that Yang Zhen had taken. Looking at Yang Zhen, and then at the two Junior Sisters who were still chuckling, his face was full of thoughtful expression.

Along the way, Qi Yunling really did, as she had said, withhold nothing. It was then that Yang Zhen understood what exactly had happened in the Dust-Free Domain during the ten days he had disappeared.

Above the Dust-free Summit, no one had successfully breached the grand prohibition of heaven and earth. Nobody knew what had happened at the Gate of Heavenly Emptiness inside, whether the two Saint Realm powerhouses and that unlucky fellow had come out. While this matter was the talk of the town, more and more Sacred Lands began to move towards the Dust-Free Domain, among them was the Aurora Sanctuary.

Aurora Sanctuary was a Great Desolation inheritor from the East Sea. Now, having heard that the Reincarnation Clock might appear in the Dust-Free Domain, the two Saint Realm powerhouses, who were as fleeting as the Epiphyllum Flower in the Dust-Free Domain, naturally would not miss this news.

Qi Yunling's face was filled with admiration, and she said with a gentle smile, “I really don't know what that young fellow in the Celestial Phase of the Ninth Heavenly Layer encountered inside the Gate of Heavenly Emptiness. It's said that he shares the same surname as you, both named Yang.”

Yang Zhen too had a face full of sighs as he responded, “We all have the cultivation of the Celestial Phase of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. The Yang Zhen that Ling'er mentions truly serves as a model for me. I just don't know what else about him makes for such enjoyable conversation among people.”

Bo Tai, hearing the form of address 'Ling'er', stiffened all over, and his complexion suddenly turned pitch black. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Yunling, with sparkling eyes, said to Yang Zhen, “There is something! It's said that Yang Zhen was incredibly unrestrained. Even in front of Saint Realm powerhouses, he was neither servile nor overbearing. Guess what he said the first time he met a Saint Realm powerhouse?”

Yang Zhen's face was full of curiosity, and he almost believed it himself as he asked in surprise, “What did he say?”

Walking ahead of Bo Tai and the others, Qi Yunling said with an admiring and amused face, “This Yang Zhen actually addressed that Saint Realm powerhouse as a 'fellow countryman', terrifying more than a dozen Half-step Great Saints into not daring to act rashly. It's said that thousands of people were shocked at the time. What a pity I wasn't there to witness it. Otherwise, I would definitely have seen the expression on Yang Zhen's face. This person is really interesting indeed.”

Bo Tai: “…”

The two of you chatting so freely ahead as if no one else is present is one thing, but to speak about another man, for some reason, Bo Tai suddenly felt an urge to punch someone.

Yang Zhen's face perfectly expressed astonishment, as he spoke with admiration, “He really is a peculiar guy. What happened after that, why wasn't he killed by the Saint Realm powerhouse?”

Qi Yunling looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and replied, “Peculiar… that description is fitting. Later, it's said that another Saint Realm powerhouse arrived, and after clashing head-on with the powerhouse, Yang Zhen was unfortunately sucked into the Gate of Heavenly Emptiness, vanishing without a trace.”

Yang Zhen exclaimed in surprise, “Isn't that a pity?”

Qi Yunling nodded and sighed, “It really is somewhat regrettable. If I could see Yang Zhen again…”

“What would you do?” Yang Zhen asked eagerly.

Qi Yunling's face was poised and tender, and she remained silent.

Yang Zhen pouted, not taking it seriously. Rumors in the martial world can kill a person, after all.

Seeing that no one else seemed inclined to speak, Yang Zhen suddenly asked, “By the way, how did the Reincarnation Clock come about?”

“I'll explain the situation!” Bo Tai snorted coldly, clearly not giving Qi Yunling a chance to speak.

Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and leaned toward Qi Yunling, saying, “Don't!”

Don't… don't?

How old are you?

The group of five nearly rushed up to strangle Yang Zhen on the spot!
