Chapter 1329: Chapter 1355: Showing Off in Front of Everyone! Chapter 1329: Chapter 1355: Showing Off in Front of Everyone! Yaochi Holy Land was still a lush green, a stark contrast to the sandstorms covering the Western Region.
After entering the Yaochi Holy Land, Yang Zhen felt right at home and led the Su Emperor Palace's female emperor slowly towards the sect's location.
Back when he had come from Northern Island to the Western Region, Yang Zhen had helped the Third Saintess refine the Heavenly Star Stele and had even left her with a dose of Imperial Blood. He wondered how far her cultivation had progressed.
“Kid, has the Yaochi Holy Land really fallen to such a state?”
Cheap Cat looked around and sensed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, speaking dismissively.
Yang Zhen nodded. When he had first come to Yaochi Holy Land, although it was a premier presence in the Western Region, it was barely different from a typical Great Desolation legacy. Now, compared to the mighty presences that had appeared since, like the former Tri-Floral Sanctuary and Su Emperor Palace, it seemed rather weak.
Was Yaochi Holy Land really once on par with Tri-Floral Sanctuary and Su Emperor Palace?
Yang Zhen found it curious. If the legend was true, then the interruption of Yaochi Holy Land's legacy was deplorably excessive. When Yang Zhen had arrived, the despicably old head of Yaochi, besides the Heavenly Star Stele legacy, seemed to know of no stronger legacy. Otherwise, Yaochi Holy Land wouldn't have deteriorated to this state, allowing so many people to saunter in.
The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and so did the news Yang Zhen and his companions heard.
At that moment, a group approached from the opposite direction. Most of them were Saint Realm practitioners. Although not highly skilled, they seemed content and relaxed, evidently not yet worried about the upcoming Saint Conference in the Western Region.
“You know, the Yaochi Holy Land isn't really that powerful, but the Third Saintess is truly beautiful. I wonder who the lucky young genius will be that ends up as her Tao companion.”
A practitioner with a big belly and a face full of envy dreamily said.
Two younger practitioners scoffed, “No matter who she ends up marrying, it's not like we'd stand a chance, especially you, fatty. I've never seen you full. With your physique, I wonder which female practitioner could ever fancy you.”
The chubby practitioner glared and responded, “What's wrong with eating? How can we practitioners not eat?”
Yang Zhen couldn't help but smirk, these guys really were carefree. Even now, they weren't thinking about how to gain advantages at the Saint Conference but were fixated on the Third Saintess of Yaochi Holy Land. Damn it, did these bastards not know the Third Saintess was Sao Saint's woman?
In the crowd, a woman with a sour expression chimed in, “Haven't you noticed? Luo Saint of Heavenly Saint Sect looks at the Third Saintess with admiration. I heard he might propose to Yaochi Holy Land.”
“What?”
The chubby practitioner widened his eyes and exclaimed, “That pretty boy, why should he…”
“Shush!” The others quickly pulled him aside, their expressions changing as they whispered, “Be careful, walls have ears. Luo Saint is young but already in the Saint Sovereign Realm. Who among the young folks in the Western Region can compare to him?”
The chubby practitioner glared again, “Why not? Jin Chanzi of the Lanzuo Sect is even stronger and hasn't talked about proposing to Yaochi Holy Land.”
The woman chuckled and covered her mouth, saying, “Jin Chanzi is a monk; you really shouldn't speak so carelessly. Otherwise, if it gets back to the Lanzuo Sect, it might cause unnecessary trouble.”
Realizing his slip, the chubby practitioner quickly shut up and looked around.
“I've heard that once Luo Saint completes the Heavenly Star Test, he will officially propose to Yaochi Holy Land. Then, there might really be some excitement to watch.”
“Yes, the Heavenly Star Trial is said to be the most rigorous inheritance of the Yaochi Holy Land, supposedly a legacy from the Barbaric Era that the Yaochi Holy Land stumbled upon by chance. To this day, no one has passed this trial.”
“At this Western Region holy meeting, on one hand, a Barbarian Treasure is going to emerge; on the other hand, the Yaochi Holy Land probably also wants to take this opportunity to become acquainted with some young powerhouses, considering the Demon Sect has arisen and practitioners of evil are causing chaos everywhere. If the Yaochi Holy Land doesn't have a strong backing, things could get difficult.”
Saying this, the chubby practitioner's face revealed a wistful expression as he continued, “After saying so much, it really has nothing to do with us. In this Western Region holy meeting, it'd be good enough for us to stick with some powerful seniors and sip a little soup on the side; as for the rest, it's enough to just enjoy the show.”
At this point, the chubby practitioner suddenly glanced up, hesitating as he saw Yang Zhen approaching and asked, “This… esteemed practitioner, you seem somewhat pale. Have you encountered some trouble?”
Yang Zhen stared at him, sizing up the chubby practitioner, and asked, “Did you just mention, within this Western Region holy meeting, sticking to some powerful seniors?”
A gleam flashed in the chubby practitioner's eyes as he responded, “Yes, nowadays everyone is looking for strong entities to stick with, otherwise, in the Western Region holy meeting, there may not even be a chance to sip soup. Esteemed practitioner, seeing that you've come from afar to the Western Region, how about joining us? I heard that those from the Northern Island…”
Yang Zhen waved his hand, interrupting the chubby practitioner, “You don't need to look for any seniors from Northern Island. There's already a senior right in front of you who values you a lot. Why not follow this senior?”
The chubby practitioner looked puzzled, his face a mix of surprise as he glanced towards the Su Emperor Palace empress behind Yang Zhen and then down at the listless scoundrel cat, asking, “Where is this senior?”
Yang Zhen grinned broadly and said, “Far in the horizon, yet right before your eyes!”
“You?”
The chubby practitioner's eyes bulged in disbelief, his face showing astonishment as he shook his head like a gyroscope, “Are you joking, esteemed practitioner? You look even younger than me, how could you possibly be a senior?”
Yang Zhen chuckled, “You don't need to know whether I'm older than you. Just do as I say, and in this Western Region holy meeting, I, the Sao Saint, will take you on an impressive ride.”
The chubby practitioner was entirely dumbfounded and was about to speak when Yang Zhen leaned close and said sternly, “The first matter is a test of your abilities. If within two days you can spread a piece of news across the entire Western Region, you will receive a fortune beyond your imagination.”
“What… what news?” The chubby practitioner and his companion looked at each other, highly skeptical but also curious about what Yang Zhen wanted them to spread.
“Tell that Luo Saint to wash up and wait for me, the Sao Saint. Damn it, he dares to covet the Sao Saint's woman and even participate in the Heavenly Star Trial. Tell him that with the Sao Saint here, he will absolutely fail the Heavenly Star Trial.”
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the chubby practitioner gasped in shock, gawking at Yang Zhen but unable to utter a word.
After saying all this, Yang Zhen strode off with the Su Emperor Palace empress and the scoundrel cat, muttering as they walked, “How's that for audacity?”
The scoundrel cat smirked and remarked, “I still find it somewhat lacking.”
“What the heck, still not audacious enough?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, staring at the scoundrel cat.
The scoundrel cat nodded and said, “Instead of spreading words, just confront the guy directly.”
Yang Zhen disdainfully looked at the cat and said, “That's where you're wrong. Confronting the guy now only shows off in front of one person. But once the news spreads far and wide, the Sao Saint gets to show off in front of the whole world. After all these years, haven't you learned a thing?”
The scoundrel cat, excited, muttered to himself, “Damn, why didn't I think of that. Kid, go find a place to settle down, and I will personally spread this news myself.”
With that, without waiting for Yang Zhen to respond, the scoundrel cat zipped away and vanished.
