Chapter 1321: Chapter 1347: You're Back! Chapter 1321: Chapter 1347: You're Back! The Heaven Devouring Beast moved at a consistent pace, it didn't need to rush; after all, as long as the fastest scorpion phantom couldn't catch up, that was all that mattered.
Yang Zhen wasn't in a hurry to travel either, leisurely making his way toward the Tri-Floral Sanctuary.
Accompanied by the snobbish young lady from the Su Emperor Palace, the journey wasn't too boring. However, Yang Zhen was somewhat curious about just what the Quanyang Demon Emperor was all about.
When he asked about it, the lady from Su Emperor Palace hesitated for a moment before saying, “Legend has it that after the Quanyang Demon Emperor destroyed most of the Demon Domain, he passed through the Demon Sect to come to the main realm to cultivate his character…”
“Wait a second…” Yang Zhen was stunned and looked at the lady from the Su Emperor Palace with a peculiar expression, asking, “Cultivate his character? Are you sure this old demon is actually into self-cultivation this seriously?”
The lady from Su Emperor Palace glanced at Yang Zhen, nodded, and said, “The legend goes like this, but the Quanyang Demon Emperor was already somewhat mentally deranged at the time. Beneath the overwhelming Demon Qi, it wasn't long before he caught the attention of the Emperor Realm Experts of the Great Desolation, sparking a war.”
Yang Zhen's eyes widened as he said, “Sparking a war? Isn't that nonsense? The Quanyang Demon Emperor had just destroyed most of the Demon Domain, and as soon as he comes to the main realm to recuperate, he should just keep to himself. Who cares whether he's cultivating his character or barely clinging to life? Who would pick a fight with him at such a time, risking tearing half the main realm apart?”
The cheap cat sneered and said, “Exactly, these people's brains must have been scrambled.”
After hearing Yang Zhen's words, the lady from the Su Emperor Palace froze for a moment then let out a wry smile, saying, “You're right. That war did indeed affect a wide area, nearly destroying the entire Central Court. If it hadn't been for that person stepping in, who knows what might have happened…”
That person again!
Something clicked in Yang Zhen's heart. This guy really was persistent. Could it be that he'd become friends with the Quanyang Demon Emperor?
Sure enough, the lady from the Su Emperor Palace said with a smile, “That battle at the time reportedly involved two Emperor Realm Experts and a Great Desolation legacy. When that legacy nearly got wiped out, they wouldn't let it go easily. So, not only was the issue unresolved, but that person ended up fighting with the Quanyang Demon Emperor. In the end, they parted on bad terms. However, it seems like that person couldn't let it go, came back, and caused trouble for the Great Desolation legacy once more, deceitfully taking one of the Quanyang Demon Emperor's Heaven and Earth True Patterns before disappearing without a trace.”
Yang Zhen was astonished as he marveled, “This guy is truly talented, to even dare trick the Quanyang Demon Emperor?”
A bitter smile appeared on the face of the Su Emperor Palace lady as she shook her head, saying nothing.
The Nine Dragons Saint wore a dead-serious expression and after a moment's hesitation, said, “Kid, I think you're even more shameless than that person.”
“What?”
Yang Zhen widened his eyes and said, “How am I shameless? I haven't tricked anything from the Quanyang Demon Emperor, nor have I brought disaster upon anyone's Great Desolation legacy. At most, I've just been showing off a bit. If one doesn't show off a bit in life, wouldn't they be no different from a salted fish?”
The Nine Dragons Saint quietly looked at Yang Zhen and said, “You may not have tricked the Quanyang Demon Emperor, but you directly took something of his, which probably enraged him even more than tricking him.”
Yang Zhen waved his hand dismissively and said, “He's not in his right mind now, let him get angry when he comes to his senses. But by then, he'll probably have already forgotten all about it.”
The Su Emperor Palace lady paused before saying, “The Demon Pattern Origin is crucial to the Quanyang Demon Emperor. He is unlikely to forget it.”
“Forget about those details, oh look, we're almost there.”
Joy spread across Yang Zhen's face. Now he could properly develop the Tri-Floral Sanctuary, right?
He hadn't had a good rest since he had been running all over the place. Now, with the Demon Pattern in hand and the people from the Shangyuan Sect relocated, and practitioners from the Demon Sect everywhere, it was quite dangerous outside. Yang Zhen decided he'd better properly develop the Tri-Floral Sanctuary. At the very least, he could not live up to the name and have no strength to defend himself.
Seeing the Tri-Floral Sanctuary close at hand, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and the Nine Dragons Saint also showed a look of relief, saying with a smile, “Finally back. The entire Great Desolation must be in chaos by now. Only in the Tri-Floral Sanctuary can one feel a sense of belonging, huh.”
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, “You are taken, aren't you?”
The Nine Dragons Saint looked smug, not at all appearing to be an old man past his prime.
Cultivation really is a wondrous thing, for years upon years cannot etch their mark on a practitioner's body.
Yang Zhen stretched lazily and turned to Chen Xiaotian and the others, saying, “Stop chasing, I'm already home.”
Boom! A series of earth-shattering roars filled the air as a streak of dark golden light flashed across the sky. After the restrictions of the Tri-Floral Sanctuary were lifted, the Heaven Devouring Beast swiftly entered.
On the Sky Scorpion, a trace of furious shock crossed Chen Xiaotian's face. He stood tall and said to Yang Zhen, “Yang Zhen, the Demon Pattern Origin is not something a Taoist practitioner can control. Even if you obtained it, you couldn't refine it. The Tri-Floral Sanctuary is a renowned inheritance in the Great Desolation. Are you willing to watch it be destroyed in your hands?”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen uttered a sarcastic 'Oh?' and stood up, staring at Chen Xiaotian as he said, “Old man, are you trying to scare me?”
Chen Xiaotian laughed heartily, his face revealing a look of disdain as he stared back at Yang Zhen and said, “Even if I am, what can you do about it?”
Yang Zhen was very fast, and if he wanted to leave, it would be difficult for everyone present to keep him there.
It was as if Chen Xiaotian and the others had all cultivated the Demonic Body Dissolution. At this level of power, taking down a person was not so easy.
Behind Chen Xiaotian, Shu Ya's face also held a resolute expression. He sighed and said, “Yang Zhen, although I don't wish to admit it, you are still the second Taoist practitioner after so many years who has caught my eye. As for that one from the past… never mind, it's better unmentioned. Just hand over the Demon Pattern Origin, it's better for the both of us that way.”
Above them, the sky was teeming with Demon practitioners, an endless sight to behold.
In contrast, the group from the Su Emperor Palace seemed utterly insignificant among the Taoist practitioners.
But as the saying goes, reputation casts a long shadow. The Su Emperor Palace was once just as famous as the once-renowned Tri-Floral Sanctuary and was mysteriously perceived as different in status and position.
Granny Moon's face showed hesitation, but upon seeing the Empress standing beside Yang Zhen, joy quickly surfaced. She emerged from the crowd and approached the barrier of the Tri-Floral Sanctuary, calling out, “Granny Moon of the Su Emperor Palace requests an audience with the Tri-Floral Saintess!”
“There is no Tri-Floral Saintess here.”
A calm voice sounded as Hua Youyue and others came out from the Saint Palace.
Mei Wuhua's face sparkled with surprise as he saw Granny Moon and said, “Who would have thought that after all these years, Granny Moon still carries her charm.”
“Mei Wuhua?”
Granny Moon's face lit up with joy, like she had met an old friend, and then she curiously looked at Hua Youyue and asked, “And who might this be?”
Mei Wuhua smiled and replied, “This is the Tri-Floral Saintess, no, she should now be addressed as Saintess Hua.”
Granny Moon's expression turned to one of astonishment, and she quickly paid her respects.
The Empress of the Su Emperor Palace also looked over with curiosity.
Laughter boomed out, and Chen Xiaotian clicked his tongue in wonder, saying, “Who would have thought that the once brilliant Tri-Floral Saintess has successfully reincarnated? That is indeed joyous and commendable.”
The Tri-Floral Saintess glanced at Chen Xiaotian, half as if she hadn't heard, and approached Yang Zhen, softly saying, “You're back!”
