The Princess of Changyang and Su Qingyu both stood not too far from Zhang Zongjin. Initially, the Princess of Changyang thought Yang Zhen was approaching her. However, as Yang Zhen continued to approach and unexpectedly fixed his gaze on Zhang Zongjin, she was caught by surprise.
Su Qingyu frowned, her face showing a sense of oddity. It was indeed unusual how Yang Zhen, with his peculiar movements, managed to surpass flying treasures and be the first to reach the Heavenly Phenomenon and obtain the Thunder Element Wood.
Even when Yang Zhen forced Zhang Zongjin to spit up blood with his Qi, Zhang Zongjin was able to maintain the demeanor of a Great Sect’s favored disciple. He did not stoop to Yang Zhen’s level. It speaks volumes about Zhang Zongjin’s cultivation and moral caliber.
This, however, did not mean Zhang Zongjin would tolerate Yang Zhen provoking him time and time again. Su Qing Yu initially thought Yang Zhen a prominent figure who might make a name for himself in the Nether State continent. But now, was he seriously challenging Zhang Zongjin?
The reason the disciples of the Great Sect were allowed to choose seats as they pleased, close enough to comprehend the Dao stele, was not just because of the shelter of their sect. More importantly, the majority of these disciples were blessed talents, surpassing ordinary people in their mentality and talent. Although Yang Zhen could be considered a talent, he was still a long way from being a favored child. At this point, these favored ones would not tolerate any provocation, as the Dao stele was too important.
Yang Zhen’s actions are improper. He’s being reckless!” Su Qingyu shook her head lightly, watching the princess of Changyang wanting to say something but hesitating, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in confusion.
Zhang Zongjin’s face gradually darkened, his gaze fixed on Yang Zhen. A trace of anger flashed m his eyes. Yang Zhen’s repeated provocations had stirred up a killing intent in him.
“Good heavens, Yang Zhen is really confronting Zhang Zongjin.”
This Yang Zhen is really arrogant. Does he really think he can offend Young Master Zhang to this extent?”
As long as Yang Zhen said something excessive, Zhang Zongjin would have a reason to kill him. Even if he killed Yang Zhen at this point, nobody could say anything.”
At this point, no one was optimistic about Yang Zhen anymore.
“Young Master Yang, why… why are you here?”
The Princess Changyang suddenly asked, which surprised the crowd.
“The Princess of Changyang actually stopped Yang Zhen, what… what’s the relationship between them?”
“If it weren’t for the Princess of Changyang, I’m afraid Yang Zhen would be dead by now.”
“The Princess of Changyang is so protective of an obscure fellow. She must have been deceived by Yang Zhen’s smooth talk.”
The crowd, who already had a negative opinion of Yang Zhen, resented him even more seeing how the Princess Changyang defended him at every turn. Yang Zhen didn’t pay attention to the surrounding voices. It was as if these voices were just a bunch of buzzing flies.
Hearing the words of the Princess of Changyang, Yang Zhen turned his head and looked at this veiled woman, “Isn’t the position of the Dao stele chosen by the strongest one?”
The Princess of Changyang was taken aback and said, “Although it is not explicitly defined, it has always been this way in recent years.”
The crowd was stunned as well. Over the years, there had been very few disputes over positions.
The disciples of the Great Sect naturally chose the best locations near the Dao stele. Those practitioners who were weaker or did not have a strong sect as their backing would graciously wait for the stronger people to choose first.
Now that Yang Zhen had bluntly revealed this, it was undeniably true: the stronger you are, the closer you can choose to be to the Dao stele.
But what was the point of Yang Zhen saying this? Didn’t everyone present know this principle? Even if they did, how could they do anything about it? Surely, they weren’t foolish enough to challenge the chosen ones?
“That’s impossible. Yang Zhen is not a fool. How could he challenge those chosen? That’s practically suicide.”
Yang Zhen is not foolish; he’s shameless. If he provokes Young Master Zhang at this moment, not even the Princess of Changyang can save him.”
“Haha, if Yang Zhen dares to provoke him at this time, it would be an absolute joke!”
The crowd murmured to themselves, someone even proclaimed that if Yang Zhen dared to challenge Zhang Zongjin, he would eat dirt right here. He was greeted by the crowd’s scornful words.
At a time like this, everyone knew that Yang Zhen couldn’t possibly provoke Zhang Zongjin. What is the point of them saying this?
With a chuckle, Yang Zhen glanced at the man who’d boasted he’d eat dirt, then turned to Princess Changyang, saying, “In that case, it will be easy. I was under the impression that these seats were prearranged and immutable!”
“What on earth are you planning?” Princess Changyang suddenly had an ominous feeling.
More than that, the man who’d sworn to eat dirt experienced a change in his complexion, growing somewhat pale. He didn’t know why, but the look in Yang Zhen’s eyes a moment ago was so terrifying that he felt like slapping himself and swallowing the words he had just said.
“Nothing at all, I assure you!”
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, turned around, gave a kick to Zhang Zongjin, who was sitting on the floor with a gloomy face, and said, “Buddy, can I take your spot?”
Bang!
Zhang Zongjin stood up all at once, his complexion turning so pasty it was as if it had congealed, grinding his teeth as he glared at Yang Zhen and bit out, “Are you courting death?”
The crowd around them all moved aside, staring at Yang Zhen in shock.
He did challenge him! Yang Zhen had indeed challenged Zhang Zongjin, and in the most direct, domineering, and almost arrogant manner.
Zhang Zongjin’s face had turned green with anger!
Princess Changyang changed color and exclaimed, “Yang Zhen, have you gone mad?”
Yang Zhen looked at Princess Changyang innocently, his voice carrying a hint of grievance, “I haven’t done anything wrong, or was it not you who said that the strong have the first pick of the prime spots? Why is it that they can choose and I can’t? Or, are you implying that those from the Great Sects can do whatever they please, while disciples from smaller sects can only watch from the sidelines? At worst… at worst once I comprehend it, I’ll give it back to him!” Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, all the less powerful practitioners present were shocked, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Yang Zhen had a point — why should all the best spots go to the prodigies of the Great Sects?
Why couldn’t Yang Zhen lay claim to one?
“Very well! Very well!” seething with anger, Zhang Zongjin pointed at Yang Zhen and said, “I, Zhang Zongjin have never encountered such an arrogant brat before. Today, not even the Princess Changyang or the heavens can save you!”
Hum!
An ominous aura washed over them, causing everyone present to tremble as a hum rang out from all the sword-shaped magical items in the area. They stared at Zhang Zongjin in disbelief.
Zhang Zongjin was dubbed the ‘number one sword of the younger generation’ and now they could see why. His mere intent was enough to set numerous sword-shaped magical items into resonance — it was bewildering.
Princess Changyang’s face paled. Anyone could tell Zhang Zongjin was emanating shock and murder; all falling onto Yang Zhen’s head.
“Done for. Yang Zhen has truly angered Young Master Zhang. Now nobody can save him.” The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbjn((.))com
As expected of the one known as the number one sword in the world, his sword intent is really terrifying.”
Bang!
As Zhang Zongjin brandished his sword, the sky and earth changed color. A gust of intense winds kicked up around them, brimming with sword energy, making it unbearable for everyone. His strength as a level nine Foundation Establishment practitioner was fully displayed.
Princess Changyang watched Yang Zhen worriedly, then silently moved to the side. Were she to step forward now, it wouldn’t just be an issue between her and Zhang Zongjin, but would most likely implicate her sect and even the Nether Sun Country and the Dong Lin sect!
Plus, even if Princess Changyang wanted to protect Yang Zhen now, it was unlikely. Yang Zhen had already crossed the lines of all the other prodigies present. He was too far gone!
Was he truly crossing the line though?
Princess Changyang was taken aback, then it dawned on her — from Yang Zhen’s perspective, he just wanted a decent spot. And that didn’t seem too much to ask.
From the standpoint of many of the smaller sects present, those who were really crossing the line were the prodigies from the Great Sects.
For a moment, Princess Changyang looked at Yang Zhen with complex emotions in her eyes..
