Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with stunned faces.
No one expected that Yang Zhen, traveling through the divine realm, would have such a shocking revelation.
Was Hua Youyue in the Forbidden Land of Life?
Then, who was this Hua Youyue standing before them?
Yang Zhen swallowed, sat down on the ground, and waved his hand, saying, “Let me catch my breath, dammit, this is terrifying.”
Although everyone else was anxious, they didn’t rush Yang Zhen. They exchanged glances, all suspiciously eyeing Hua Youyue.
Seeing there was no major harm done to Yang Zhen, Hua Youyue’s expression gradually calmed down, as if what Yang Zhen was about to say next had nothing to do with her.
Yang Zhen had never thought that a person could emit such a terrifying aura, just a turn of her body seemed to shatter the entire world. If he had moved a bit slower at that moment, the consequence was unbearable to imagine.
Looking at his own two legs, Yang Zhen cracked a smile. In critical moments, these two legs proved to be reliable.
His emotions stabilizing, Yang Zhen looked up at Hua Youyue and said, “The place you are heading to, wouldn’t be the Bone Mountain, would it?”
Hua Youyue’s expression changed but before she could respond, the cat by her side suddenly shrieked, scampered over to Yang Zhen, and asked cluelessly, “Bone Mountain? Did you just say Bone Mountain? You saw Bone Mountain… and you came back alive?”
Yang Zhen slapped the cat on the head and said irritably, “Can you stop cursing me for once? Just a darn Bone Mountain, can it even confine the Sao Saint like me? Fortunately, the Bone Mountain was fast, or else I would have smashed it with one slap.”
The clueless cat scrutinized Yang Zhen, its eyes gleaming, and mumbled to itself in disbelief, “Damn, what times are these when Bone Mountain can even run away?”
Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen suspiciously and asked, “What kind of place … is it?”
“Bone Mountain, a gigantic mountain filled with bones—human, beasts, and whatnot,” Yang Zhen took a deep breath, then continued, “On the top of the mountain is a platform, a jade stele, a coffin, and also you!”
Hua Youyue looked stunned, “Are you sure it was me?” she asked hesitantly.
Yang Zhen shook his head, “Of course it couldn’t be you, she just looked very similar to you. But I only got a side view, I didn’t get a good look. She was too powerful. Just one look from her almost killed me. Damn, how could there be such a powerful person?”
“A single glance can kill?” The Palace Master eyed Yang Zhen in disbelief, clearly finding it hard to believe.
He himself was a strong one. The power of the Tribulation-Crossing Stage was well known, but even he couldn’t kill someone just by staring, it was entirely impossible.
Now that Yang Zhen claimed there was a Bone Mountain in the Forbidden Land of Life, that atop it stood another Hua Youyue who could kill a Divine Travel Stage Practitioner with a single glance—it all sounded too miraculous to be true.
Seeing the disbelief around him, Yang Zhen didn’t insist. He yanked the cat over and asked, “Cat, can you recall what the hell this Bone Mountain is?”
The cat widened its eyes, “What else could it be? A mountain made of a pile of bones, of course.”
“Who’d have so much spare time to build a whole mountain out of goddamn bones?”
“I have no idea!”
“Damn it!”
The cat rolled its eyes around nervously, then asked Yang Zhen, “Kid, are you sure the woman you saw was the young missy?”
Yang Zhen paused, then he nodded before shaking his head, saying, “I’m not so sure now.”
Just then, a booming laugh rang out from not far away. Everyone looked over to see a group of at least a hundred people approaching.
The leader of the group was the one who had laughed earlier. He wore a crown made of some sort of metal on his head. Despite his age, he seemed to have a lively and vigorous spirit. He spoke to the Palace Master Liu, “I trust you’ve been keeping well, Brother Liu.”
Palace Master Liu gave Yang Zhen a deep look, then burst into laughter, speaking to the newcomer, “Thank you, thank you. You look as elegant as ever, Brother Mei.”
With that, Palace Master Liu turned to introduce the man to Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue. “This is the Sect Leader of the Earth Mysterious Sect, Senior Mei Chaofeng.”
“Mei Chaofeng?” Yang Zhen was surprised. He blurted out in surprise, examining the old man’s bright eyes. They showed no signs of defect.
“Insolence!”
A young man standing behind Mei Chaofeng coldly snorted and berated Yang Zhen. “You show no respect. How were you raised by the elders of your sect?”
“Feng Xian!” Mei Chaofeng waved his hand with a chuckle. “This young friend is simply surprised, there’s no need to be so strict.”
The young man referred to as Feng Xian huffed in disdain, clearly displeased with Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen stood up and said to Mei Chaofeng, “I apologize, Senior Mei. I… I’m just used to being casual and laid back. Please, forgive any offense and don’t mind the minor details.”
Mei Chaofeng’s eyes flashed with interest and he replied with a smile, “No harm done. I’ve heard much about you, Yang. Given that you can sit so comfortably on the ground, it seems that you’re quite an interesting character. No need for apologies!”
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He found himself warming to the old man, who was not as obstinate as he had expected.
Palace Master Liu burst into laughter and said, “The formation to open the Forbidden Land of Life was set up by the seniors of the Earth Mysterious Sect. We solely rely on their help to access the Forbidden Land.”
Yang Zhen glanced at the haughty Feng Xian and gave Mei Chaofeng a surprised look.
Mei Chaofeng roared with laughter and said heartily, “Good gracious, Brother Mei, you flatter an old man like me! The Earth Mysterious Sect has long been in decline, approaching the brink of extinction. To be able to contribute to such a matter is our pleasure. Now that everything is ready, shall we activate the formation if there are no issues?”
Palace Master Liu’s face lit up. He hurriedly responded, “In that case, we are in your debt, Brother Mei.”
Yang Zhen, Hua Youyue, and the others watched as Mei Chaofeng left with curious eyes. Without any visible action from him, a booming wave suddenly spread within hundreds of feet of the Forbidden Land of Life.
Voom–
Amidst the disturbance, a violent surge went up into the sky, condensing into several gates in mid-air.
These gates were all formed of Heaven and Earth True Essence. The sight shocked thousands of onlookers, causing them to exclaim in astonishment.
Mei Chaofeng’s deep voice sounded, “Everyone, this formation can only maintain for twenty days. Within these twenty days, ensure that everyone exits completely, otherwise once the formation closes, there will be no possibility of escaping.”
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, with many revealing hesitant expressions.
It was clear that most of those present had not expected the time limit of only twenty days to enter.
What could they do in just twenty days?
Many wore displeased expressions. But under these circumstances, there was nothing they could do but adjust their plans a bit.
Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue exchanged a glance, remained silent, and then turned their attention towards the gates. Simultaneously, they leaped towards the first gate.
The “leg fur” and the “Sao chicken” let out a weird cry at the same time. As if in competition, they sped after Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue.
Mo Xueling and the others exchanged a glance, then all shot towards the first gate.
After the group entered, a middle-aged man with a sullen expression disappeared from the crowd. At the entrance to the first gate, a faint ripple of True Essence flashed..
