Chapter 536: Chapter 542: Live a Carefree and Happy Life! (Fourth update)
Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised by Feng Lingqiao’s words. He hadn’t expected such a broadmindedness from a delicate looking young woman who was neither beautiful nor had a captivating appearance or aura. He couldn’t help but laughingly reply, “Miss, don’t think like that… Chatting is indeed valuable, but freedom is even more so. If it involves life, both can be cast aside!”
Yang Zhen feigned serious consideration before he said solemnly, “In our village, there is a saying that I think is very good.”
“What’s the saying?” asked a bewildered Feng Lingqiao.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said significantly, “It is better to live a terrible life than to die a good death!”
“To live a terrible life than to die a good death?” Feng Lingqiao looked deeply into Yang Zhen’s eyes before nodding and saying, “You are right, but we don’t all have control over our lives. Sometimes, when we have to do something, we put life aside.”
“Nonsense!”
Yang Zhen curled his lips and said, “If you die, what will happen to your grandfather’s injuries? An old man having to bury his own grandchild. Do you really want him to suffer such a heartbreaking loss before his death?”
Feng Lingqiao trembled, looking astonished at Yang Zhen, as if she hadn’t expected him to swear or speak such sharp yet cutting words.
However, for some reason, Feng Lingqiao suddenly didn’t want to die anymore.
“By the way, what exactly is this black sand and where can I find it?” Yang Zhen asked curiously. Perhaps black sand could be mixed into the Great Missing Sword, and even if not, such a rare treasure that could fetch a huge price was worth collecting.
Feng Lingqiao felt dazed by Yang Zhen’s eccentric conversational style and hastily replied, “I am also unsure about acquiring it. It is said that it can appear anywhere – under the ground, on the surface, even in the air or on the leaves. However, coming across this black sand requires a great deal of luck.”
Yang Zhen suddenly understood and thought to himself that black sand sure was picky, needing good luck to get it.
Since it wasn’t something that could be obtained deliberately, Yang Zhen temporarily abandoned his plans and asked, “Where are you planning to go find it?”
Feng Lingqiao shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Why don’t I help find your… good friend first.”
Yang Zhen was taken aback and said, “That would be great!”
With that said, he flicked his fingers, and an ink ripple emerged, floating around before disappearing.
“Damn it, where did that bastard hide?”
Before Yang Zhen finished his sentence, a tiny black point emerged from the disappeared ink ripple, fluttering like being driven by the wind, and rushed northward.
Looking at this scene, Yang Zhen burst into laughter and quickly followed it. Suddenly his expression changed and he turned to Feng Lingqiao, “This direction seems to be where those hooligans went. Are you sure you still want to follow?”
Feng Lingqiao’s face changed and she hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth, “Follow!”
Yang Zhen laughed heartily. This world indeed had many interesting people.
While good looks were common, an interesting soul was a rare gem. To not live like a useless person, one’s spirit needed to feel alive. Just blindly following others amounted to being a repeater.
As for the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, or the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, these were just giant instances for Yang Zhen. Many people would be too wary to try and clear these instances, and Yang Zhen himself also lacked the strength to do so. But he decided he could just exploit and pay to win. Who had determined that he must confront these two major powers head on?
As long as Yang Zhen didn’t pick a fight with them, everything was fine. But if in pursuit of his desires, he hurt their interests, well, sorry, why should Sao Saint care?
Yang Zhen strolled along, seeming carefree. He was not heading for the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land or the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain. He moved as if he was walking in his own backyard.
Feng Lingqiao followed him in silence. After he took a deep breath, the gloom on his face gradually dispersed. Sometimes, carefreeness could indeed be infectious.
Yang Zhen had come to these Mountain and River Ruins to search for that damned cat, who had sent a sense of danger from the branding on its body then disappeared without a trace. Yang Zhen was quite worried missing the aimless chatter of this creature by his side.
However, the small black dot that had been floating around vanished soon after appearing and was not enough to help Yang Zhen find the cat.
A more effective method was needed. As Yang Zhen walked, he released his spiritual power, as vast as the sea, which expanded the scope of his search drastically.
That was more like it!
His spiritual power allowed him to gather information from every corner of his surroundings, outperforming any thermal imaging scanner. Yang Zhen was about to enjoy the sensation of exerting control over everything. With his spiritual power, he could foresee any danger. This carefree sensation was the genuine motivation behind his cultivation.
The explosion of his spiritual power gave Feng Lingqiao quite a fright.
Although Feng Lingqiao was also a practitioner at the Tribulation Crossing Period with excellent talent given his young age, he was still taken aback by Yang Zhen’s incredible spiritual power, looking at him with surprise and confusion.
How could a practitioner at the Tribulation Crossing Period have such terrifying spiritual power?
…
Meanwhile, in the north of the Mountain and River Ruins, the disciples of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain were arrayed solemnly. Fang Zhongjian hesitated, glancing at Lu Tianwei beside him as if to say something but remained silent.
Lu Tianwei suddenly asked, “Brother Fang, did you see someone who looked a lot like Yang Zhen earlier?”
Fang Zhongjian was taken aback, startledly replying, “You saw him too?”
Lu Tianwei shook his head, saying, “I am not sure. I saw a little resemblance from a distance, but I think it would too much of a coincidence.”
Fang Zhongjian ground his teeth, muttering in a cold voice, “Wouldn’t hurt if it were him. That bastard Yang Zhen even destroyed Senior Brother Li Cangxu’s Unblemished Sword. If he dares to set foot in the Mountain and River Ruins, I will make him pay, or else…”
At this moment, Fang Zhongjian inhaled deeply and said, “Or else, he’s been lucky. But one day, I, Fang Zhongjian, will make him pay!”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s name, Ji Yourong’s expression changed. She turned her head to look at Fang Zhongjian, her beautiful face did not reveal what she was thinking.
An arrogant young practitioner coldly scoffed within the ranks of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. “Is this Yang Zhen really so capable to have destroyed a sacred weapon?”
Fang Zhongjian glared at him sharply. “Does Brother Qi doubt my words?”
Brother Qi sneered slightly. “How could I doubt Brother Fang’s words? It’s just a bit hard to connect a skilled craftsman to this Yang Zhen. Maybe he used some special means to destroy the Unblemished Sword. Brother Fang, you mustn’t get fooled by him.”
Fang Zhongjian looked puzzled after hearing Brother Qi’s words. He glanced at Lu Tianwei to see that he was staring at Brother Qi with a mocking expression. Feeling irritated and slightly outraged, he snorted, saying, “Whether Yang Zhen is a skilled craftsman or not is between him and me. Even if he is a blacksmith, I will not involve our Sacred Land in our disagreement.”
Brother Qi burst into laughter with no regard, saying, “Interesting. This Yang Zhen being so intimidating as to make Brother Fang wary, I am quite interested in him now. If it is indeed him who came, I would like to test how dangerous he is as is rumored. Brother Fang, please keep out of this.”
Hearing Brother Qi say that, Fang Zhongjian would be more than happy to see Brother Qi and Yang Zhen have a fight. Bursting into laughing he replied, “Why not!”
