Chapter 1250: Chapter 1275: How Did You Know? Chapter 1250: Chapter 1275: How Did You Know? “Holy smokes, what kind of bird is that?”
Yang Zhen's eyes bulged bigger than a bull's, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the terrifying large bird in mid-air.
The bird looked almost like the legendary phoenix from the tales, except that it was entirely blue, as if made up of cold air, seemingly without a physical body.
He had never heard of a blue phoenix before, and this one was way too large, about the size of a small mountain. Had Yang Zhen not seen creatures larger than this before, he might have been frightened into a heart attack.
Han Yan'er's face showed a solemn expression as she looked at the great bird that spanned the sky, speaking in a deep voice, “It's this presence that I've always been unable to control, and sometimes I can't even feel it. Why… is it a phoenix?”
“Is this a phoenix?”
Yang Zhen curled his lips and said, “I've never heard of a blue phoenix. You wait here; I'll go up and check what exactly this thing is.”
Such a being definitely was not innate within Han Yan'er, but Yang Zhen found it strange that with his current spiritual perception, combined with the Phoenix Feather Empress, they hadn't sensed this presence?
No matter when this thing entered Han Yan'er's body, and whether it was good or bad, he needed to figure it out.
After instructing Han Yan'er briefly, Yang Zhen leapt up and charged into the air.
However, just as Yang Zhen started to move, the overwhelming blue phoenix suddenly burst into a loud boom, transforming into a vast expanse of blue mist and dissipating among the stars in the sky.
Yang Zhen stood stupefied on the spot, and after confirming that the blue phoenix truly exploded, he could only return to Han Yan'er's side.
“It's gone. Do you feel anything?”
A hint of confusion appeared on Han Yan'er's face as she shook her head, “I can sense a presence attached to the stars, but I can't pinpoint what it is. It seems… there's no effect.”
This was a bit strange.
After researching for half a day with Han Yan'er and not seeing the blue phoenix again, they had no choice but to give up.
Seeing a look of worry on Yang Zhen's face, Han Yan'er smiled sweetly and said, “Don't worry, if there's anything unusual, I'll let you know in advance.”
Yang Zhen had no choice but to nod and say, “If you feel anything, make sure to tell me in advance. Don't bear it all alone.”
Han Yan'er nodded and said, “I will!”
After Yang Zhen's Divine Consciousness exited Han Yan'er's body, he checked her body thoroughly once again, inside and out, but still found nothing.
“Damn it, what on earth is this thing?”
Since it wasn't his own body, Yang Zhen didn't have any methods at all. This thing came and went quickly, all attaching to the stars within Han Yan'er's body. The entire Divine Consciousness Space seemed to be filled with the blue phoenix's aura and yet seemed to have disappeared altogether, with no impact whatsoever.
In the following period, Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er gradually encountered some practitioners.
Looking at the hurried crowd, Yang Zhen chuckled and said, “These are all people heading for the Barbaric Ancient Land.”
Han Yan'er nodded and said, “I always feel that Sealing Li Saint is up to no good.”
Yang Zhen snorted with laughter, “It would be strange if that old guy had good intentions. He wants me to die in there, so we can almost be certain that the Barbaric Ancient Land is definitely more dangerous than we imagine.”
The two of them conversed as if no one else was around, when a light chuckle came from nearby, followed by a hearty voice.
“You two must also be going to the Barbaric Ancient Land in search of the Barbaric legacy, right?”
Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er exchanged glances then turned together toward the source of the voice.
To Yang Zhen's surprise,
There were more than ten people, led by a young male and female practitioner. What surprised Yang Zhen was that the young male practitioner, who appeared only a few years older than him, had reached a cultivation level that was just a step away.
Moreover, these people each had an extraordinary temperament, at least Yang Zhen hadn't seen such temperament in the cultivation world; one by one, they were full of immortal energy, and one could tell at a glance that they were disciples of prestigious sects, their behavior and speech exuding cultivation and grace.
Even the clothes they wore were not ordinary, emanating an aura of formations.
Clearly, the clothes on their bodies were not just clothes, but Spirit Treasures!
“Damn it, even their clothes are Spirit Treasures, what's the background of these people?”
Yang Zhen muttered under his breath and immediately plastered an innocent smile on his face, saying, “Absolutely, absolutely, me and my little sister heard that there are good things inside the Barbaric Ancient Land, so we specifically ran out from our village to see the world.”
Han Yan'er struggled to hold back her laughter and pinched Yang Zhen, making him cry out.
Laughter trickled out from the crowd; it was evident that these people had been professionally trained, and they normally wouldn't laugh unless they really couldn't help it.
The man who spoke unfolded a folding fan with a whoosh, appearing courteous, and only after giving a respectful salute to Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er did he open his mouth to speak, “To meet is fate; I am Gan Bu, from…”
“So it is Brother Gan Bu, I have long admired… uh, that famous name of yours.” Yang Zhen looked at Gan Bu with an expression of awe, a look of worship all over his face.
The crowd was stunned, their faces all wearing expressions of surprise, while they exchanged glances, some whispered among themselves.
“This guy is quite amusing; we haven't walked in the mortal world for a long time, and we had just emerged before the news of the Barbaric Ancient Land was spread, how could he have long admired our Senior Brother Gan's name?”
“Junior Sister, don't speak carelessly, perhaps this person, like us, has not entered the mortal world for a long time. The difference is, they might come from deep mountains and rural areas, taught by unaffiliated Practitioners, it's somewhat pitiful,” said another.
“Ah! Senior Brother, I think there's nothing pitiful about it. As long as the disciples taught by independent seniors are willing to join the world and cultivate, it is commendable,” the young female disciple spoke and walked over to Gan Bu, quietly saying, “Is it okay if we bring along these two siblings?”
With a modest smile on his face, Gan Bu said to the woman beside him, “What do you think, Junior Sister Que Ling?”
Que Ling gave Yang Zhen a meaningful glance and said with a smile, “Before leaving, our master taught us that when traveling abroad, we should make many friends. Now this seems like a fateful encounter, but I wonder what the two of you think?”
“Sure, sure, my mom always said, 'Within the seas, all men are brothers; across the ends of the earth, friends can be found.' Meeting face to face makes us brothers and sisters.”
Yang Zhen's face was filled with humility, causing Han Yan'er to be taken aback.
“Within the seas, all men are brothers; across the ends of the earth, friends can be found?” Que Ling's eyes revealed a trace of shock, and she exchanged a look with Gan Bu.
Just like that, the group found themselves walking together, each with their own thoughts.
Within the crowd, Han Yan'er transmitted her voice to Yang Zhen, “These people have an unclear background; following them, could there be a danger?”
A danger?
The danger is more likely for these people.
Yang Zhen gave Han Yan'er a reassuring look, his smile growing ever more naive.
Han Yan'er glared at Yang Zhen and said, “Don't tell me you haven't noticed that Que Ling, she must be up to something.”
Yang Zhen was startled and communicated via voice transmission, “Everything's a mess right now, who doesn't have some issues? Compared to us, we are even more problematic to them.”
Han Yan'er wanted to say more, but Yang Zhen grinned and said, “Don't worry, I have a hunch. These people are not simple, and on them, there might be a way to enter the Barbaric Ancient Land, which would save us some trouble.”
“What?” Han Yan'er was taken aback and asked, “How do you know that?”
Yang Zhen winked at Han Yan'er and said, “I guessed!”
Han Yan'er glared at Yang Zhen, staring at him brazenly.
