Emperor Told Me! (Third Update)
Translator: 549690339
The sudden turn of events startled everyone.
No one expected that Yang Zhen would dare to act so recklessly at such a critical life-and-death moment that concerned his reputation, ordering the Sea Dragon Clan leader to attack Elder Qui.
Watching as the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan unleashed a surge of savage power, with a dozen Divine Travel Stage fighters of the Sea Dragon Clan lurking nearby, keeping an eye on everyone’s every move, especially those from Mountian Hua’s blessed lands, no one dared to act rashly.
Elder Qui was also startled, his face ashen as he roared at Yang Zhen, “Yang Zhen, do you really want to make enemies of all human practitioners?” “Oh dear!” Yang Zhen laughed loudly, looking at the elder and saying, “Old man, don’t make it sound so righteous, just because you say I’m an enemy of humans, I become an enemy of humans?”
At that point, Yang Zhen spit out a word he didn’t understand, “Damn it, this Sao Saint simply can’t stand you and just wants to beat you up, you dare to pin labels on me, okay, let’s see who dares to help you today, this Sao Saint, I’m telling you, today I just want to beat up this old man, anyone who dares to interfere, don’t blame me for being ruthless, I’ll send you to meet your maker!”
Whoosh!
At these words, everyone was stunned, looking at Yang Zhen and the dozen or so Divine Travel Stage powerhouses around him with faces full of disbelief.
What a joke, everyone was more than happy to stand by and watch, who would be stupid enough to interfere at such a time?
“Roar… Yang Zhen, I swear to oppose you, sooner or later I will make your life unbearable…”
The Sea Dragon Clan leader was a strong fighter who could battle against Elder Gu without losing ground, so Elder Qui was definitely no match for him, and soon he was beaten black and blue, crying out in pain.
Oddly enough, the Sea Dragon Clan leader seemed to be following Yang Zhen’s orders, his huge fists aimed directly at Elder Qui’s face, and the dull thumping sounds kept coming, Elder Qui’s teeth were knocked out, his voice became distorted, and he started to whistle.
“666, kiddo, you’re awesome, with just a few words, you’ve tamed a group of such powerful lackeys!”
A mean-looking cat jumped out, shouting “666” at the Sea Dragon Clan leader beside Yang Zhen.
Wan Tianchen and the others from Mountain Hua’s blessed lands turned ashen, but dared not act rashly. Not to mention the all Divine Travel Stage powerhouses glaring around Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen was just trying to beat up Elder Qui and did not intend to kill him. If they acted rashly and angered this bastard at this moment, whether Elder Qui could survive was unknown.
Not until Elder Qui was lying on the ground, so battered that he couldn’t get up no matter how much he was kicked, his old face swollen like a boar’s head, did everyone snap back to reality. Taking a deep breath in unison, they looked at Yang Zhen with disbelief.
At this time, Elder Gu suddenly stood up and said, “Boy, spare others when you can!”
Yang Zhen glanced at Elder Gu and sneered, “Old Man Gu, I’d like to spare others when I can, but who would spare me? Has Elder Qui ever thought of sparing me?”
Elder Gu looked taken aback, and sighed with a bitter smile, “Yang Zhen, with your character, if you wanted to kill Elder Qui, he would have been dead long ago, but you didn’t do that. If my guess is right, you don’t want the Sea Dragon Clan to commit too many wrongs. Let’s stop and talk about what’s going on.
Hearing Elder Gu’s words, everyone in attendance suddenly came to an understanding, looking at Yang Zhen with doubt.
Thinking about it now, Elder Gu was probably right. Otherwise, given Yang Zhen’s character, would he care about the life and death of everyone here?
If Yang Zhen wasn’t considering the Sea Dragon Clan, he would have ordered them to kill everyone here long ago, or, at the very least, he would have helped the Sea Dragon Clan covertly or blatantly robbed storage rings.
You have to understand, once this kid Yang Zhen goes crazy, he even strips off other people’s clothes.
At these words from Elder Gu, Wang Meiling and the mean-looking cat also changed their expressions, looking at Yang Zhenpeculiarly.
One by one, questions flashed in people’s minds. Why did the Sea Dragon Clan appear at this time? Why did they attack the human practitioners without a word?
What mystified them the most was that Yang Zhen understood the language of the Sea Dragon Clan and was even able to reach some sort of agreement with them.
This matter was altogether peculiar.
Now, the crowd finally realized. Yang Zhen’s actions might have been a means to restrain the Sea Dragon Clan. Otherwise, given the temperament of the Sea Dragon Clan when they initially appeared, this place might have already turned into a river of blood.
What… exactly had transpired?
All eyes turned to Yang Zhen. With a casual gesture from him, the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan immediately threw aside Elder Qui and returned to Yang
Zhen’s side.
“Alright, shall we have a proper discussion?” Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and addressed Elder Gu.
Elder Gu heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, hesitated, and asked, “What on earth has happened? Why did the Sea Dragon Clan start a fight against humans? What kind of existence is this Emperor Island? The Eastern Desolation Emperor, he…”
“Stop!” Yang Zhen’s face darkened as he interrupted Elder Gu, “Old man, don’t tell me you think I’m the Eastern Desolation Emperor, omniscient and omnipotent?”
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Elder Gu’s face while the rest of the crowd also showed disappointment.
The multiple questions Elder Gu had just asked were all matters that they wanted to know about.
Yang Zhen whispered something to the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan who began to hesitate. After low growls and glares, he dispersed the Sea Dragon Clan, moving them away from the practitioners and waiting quietly in place. Elder Qui had already fainted and was carried away by his colleagues. What Elder Gu said was indeed correct. Even though Yang Zhen might have wanted to slap this old fellow to death, he would never do so.
Yang Zhen was a fearless man who didn’t fear any trouble. Even if someone from the Divine Travel Stage wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t have been an easy task. But he was unwilling to cause any trouble for the Sea Dragon Clan due to his principles.
The Sea Dragon in front of him, covered in dark red scales, was indeed their leader. After getting his clan to stand down, he went to Yang Zhen’s side, a somewhat impatient look on his face as he whispered to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen signaled to the leader of the Sea Dragon Clan to be patient. After observing the curious crowd, he said to Elder Gu, “The Sea Dragons are pacifists. They never wished for much contact with humans, only seeking a place to survive, that’s all.”
What?
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, looking at Yang Zhen incredulously. An elder at the Nascent Soul Stage frowned, “Yang Zhen, these are all your own words, how can we believe them?”
“Exactly, the Sea Dragon Clan has shown hostility to humans since they appeared. They attacked without a word, I fail to see how they are pacifists. “Yang Zhen, do you have any evidence to back up your words?
One after another, the crowd besieged Yang Zhen with questions. Yang Zhen scoffed, “Do you really think that if the Sea Dragon Clan truly bore deep hatred for humans, you would still be standing here, talking to me now?”
Everyone exchanged looks but before anyone could respond, Yang Zhen continued, “I’m only stating facts. Whether you choose to believe them or not, does it matter?”
These words hung in the air. The atmosphere grew tense with everyone staring indignantly at Yang Zhen. The elder at the Nascent Soul Stage broke the silence, “Setting aside these matters for now, how did you come to know about the Sea Dragon Clan’s affairs? And… why are you able to communicate with the Sea Dragons in their language?”
At the elder’s question, all eyes fell on Yang Zhen again. Their intent expressions clearly expressed their eager anticipation.
Yang Zhen glanced at this old fellow and replied, “It was… the Eastern Desolation Emperor who told me!”
“What?” The elder’s body shook violently and the rest of the crowd stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Elder Gu wore a hesitant expression and asked again, “Is… is everything you said true?”
Just as Yang Zhen was about to respond, an aged, deep, and rustic voice resounded, “The young friend speaks nothing but the truth..”
