Chapter 1110: Chapter 1137: Dare You Deceive Me? (Second Update) Chapter 1110: Chapter 1137: Dare You Deceive Me? (Second Update) Everyone was baffled by Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao, staring at them with vacant expressions.
“It's fake, it must be fake. These two must be plotting something!”
Although Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao were not as exceptionally talented as Fu Yao and Li Qingfeng in the Heaven Mountain Holy Land, they were still among the top young talents there. How could they be so deferential to a kid of unknown origin?
The crowd was only surprised for a moment before their faces once again showed a schadenfreude expression.
Even Fu Yao looked suspicious as she watched the two men and asked, “Senior Brothers, have you… already met Young Master Yang?”
“Met him? We did more than just meet; we hit it off instantly, lamenting how late we met,” Du Kang said, with a sincere smile, turning to Yang Zhen, “Right, Brother Yang?”
Yang Zhen, with his arms around their shoulders, smiled and said, “Yes, indeed. We hit it off right away and are already good friends.”
Although Fu Yao was certainly beautiful, walking around with a woman all day only allowed Yang Zhen to skim through the scenery and restrictions of Heaven Mountain Holy Land, which could hardly satisfy his curiosity.
Many geniuses of the sacred land were arrogant, seeing others as beneath them, and although Yang Zhen was interested in understanding more about the Heaven Mountain Holy Land, he had no intention of befriending any of these talented disciples.
Meeting Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao was quite dramatic in Yang Zhen's view.
Just last night, as Yang Zhen was aimlessly wandering alone, these two guys suddenly appeared before him with a smile on their faces, which even Yang Zhen couldn't discern as genuine or not.
After trying to engage with them, Yang Zhen was completely conquered by their extensive knowledge, which was like having two guidebooks of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land.
Moreover, the three had agreed to take Yang Zhen to a place that every disciple must visit. If he could pass through it, Yang Zhen could literally stride across the Heaven Mountain Holy Land.
Yang Zhen enjoyed walking sideways, stirring talks wherever he went, a feeling that really made him feel like hitting someone.
But hitting someone was out of the question; at most, he could find an opportunity to show off just to let everyone recognize his actual strength.
And indeed, the opportunity had come!
Yang Zhen looked curiously at Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao, his smile so innocuously startling.
“Senior Brother Du Kang, Senior Brother Ma Hui Cao, about that place you mentioned last night…”
“Which place?” Fu Yao's face flickered with curiosity, and for some reason, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
After glancing at Ma Hui Cao, Du Kang smiled and said to Fu Yao, “Senior Sister Fu Yao, we had a delightful talk yesterday. Brother Yang is very interested in our Sky Termination Tower. So, early this morning, he wanted us to take him there.”
“Sky Termination Tower?”
Before Fu Yao could respond, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding disciples had already become extraordinarily vivid, many even dashed away swiftly.
Yang Zhen, unfazed, watched the disciples scrambling away and nodded, realizing the importance of this Heavenly Ladder Tower. The reaction alone said it all.
Fu Yao's complexion turned somewhat unpleasant as she said gravely, “The Heavenly Ladder Tower is a forbidden area of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land. Without a senior elder's order, absolutely no one may enter.”
Then, taking Yang Zhen's hand, Fu Yao began to walk away, saying in a serious tone, “Young Master Yang, we had agreed to go see the snowy scene at the back mountain at dawn. How could you break your word?”
Yang Zhen was taken aback, not expecting Fu Yao to intervene.
Both Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao were not about to let Fu Yao take Yang Zhen away, blocking the two, with Du Kang saying, “Senior Sister Fu Yao, I'm afraid that's hardly appropriate. We had an agreement last night; how can you force someone to do otherwise?”
Fu Yao was taken aback, gazing seriously at Yang Zhen and asking, “Young Master Yang, what do you think?”
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, “I think, well…”
“Hmph!” Fu Yao snorted softly, gave Yang Zhen a deep look, and said, “If that's the case, then I wish you good luck!”
With that, Fu Yao left without looking back.
Yang Zhen watched her leave with a dumbfounded expression, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, “Women's thoughts are really tough to handle!”
Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao exchanged glances, then pulled Yang Zhen from either side and laughed heartily, saying, “Women, you know, their thoughts are always a bit elusive for a few days, never mind about Senior Sister Fu Yao; let's hurry over to the Heavenly Ladder Tower, it definitely won't disappoint Brother Yang.”
Yang Zhen nodded, his interest notably piqued by their mention of the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
The trio headed towards the direction of the Heavenly Ladder Tower, and the whole Heaven Mountain Holy Land erupted in commotion.
“Yang Zhen is going to challenge the Heavenly Ladder Tower?”
“He's so audacious, doesn't he know how difficult the Heavenly Ladder Tower is?”
“This is going to be entertaining to watch. Has no one told Yang Zhen that Senior Brother Li Qingfeng is currently inside the tower?”
“He's provoking Senior Brother Li Qingfeng!”
“What provocation of Senior Brother Li Qingfeng, this is simply a joke!”
“Come on, let's go watch the joke!”
More and more disciples of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land joyfully rushed towards the Heavenly Ladder Tower, and Yang Zhen's reputation spread widely throughout the Heaven Mountain Holy Land.
After returning, the more Fu Yao thought about it, the angrier she became. She snorted coldly and said, “Overestimating his abilities. The Heavenly Ladder Tower is the most difficult trial among the many in the Heaven Mountain Holy Land. Even I can't reach the sixth level. Without cultivating the specific cultivation method, one can't even enter the gate. This is clearly a plot by Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao, and he just couldn't comprehend my good intentions. He deserves to be schemed against!”
While feeling indignant, she walked out of her room and headed towards the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
“It's a minor issue if you embarrass yourself, but embarrassing the Nine Dragons Saint, see how you handle that!”
This matter could be big or small; it all depended on how Yang Zhen would handle it. Still, after much thought, Fu Yao decided to stop this ridiculous incident from happening.
The Heavenly Ladder Tower in the Heaven Mountain Holy Land is among the most perilous places for disciples' trials, reportedly a relic from ancient times, and no one knows its origins. For tens of thousands of years, it has almost been completely refined by the Heaven Mountain Holy Land, and its dangers have all been sealed.
Nevertheless, the Heavenly Ladder Tower is not a place ordinary disciples can enter. Fu Yao was not wrong at all; even she can't reach the sixth floor. Without cultivating the cultivation method of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land, one couldn't even enter the tower–something Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao would definitely not tell Yang Zhen.
If they had informed Yang Zhen, how could they enjoy watching his debacle?
So many fellow disciples had received the news and come; if Yang Zhen decided to back off, wouldn't Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao become the laughingstock?
The more Fu Yao thought, the more anxious she became. Elder Yan had asked her to host Yang Zhen; how could she allow him to be ridiculed by other disciples of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land?
However, when Fu Yao arrived near the Heavenly Ladder Tower, she only saw a group of Heaven Mountain Holy Land disciples staring dumbfounded, but Yang Zhen was nowhere to be seen.
Fu Yao's expression darkened as she walked up to Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao and asked sternly, “Where is Yang Zhen?”
“He… he went in,” Du Kang said with a life-questioning expression on his face.
Fu Yao's face turned ashen as she stared intently at Du Kang and said, word by word, “Are you lying to me?”
