Chapter 376: Chapter 353: There’s Something Wrong with the Script! (Fifth Update)

Wandering Lu You was bewildered!

That wasn’t how the script was supposed to go. It was only normal for everyone to have their eyes on Yang Zhen, a genius of extraordinary talent. Being able to aid such a genius in recovering from his injuries, stabilizing his realm, and even repairing his Spirit Soul, the Xiansui Training Class could definitely cause a sensation.

Even though the Xiansui Training Class didn’t know Yang Zhen at all and Yang Zhen couldn’t possibly know about the Xiansui Training Class, Yang Bailao spoke with such conviction. He even shared the process of Yang Zhen breaking the chains of the cosmos with one swoop of his sword and the incident of Yang Zhen’s Spirit Soul being injured. It was evident that Yang Bailao had ventured into the Forbidden Land of Life and had witnessed the entire process.

Under such circumstances, even if practitioners from all around couldn’t meet Yang Zhen at the Xiansui Training Class, they would undoubtedly believe that Yang Zhen was indeed recovering at the training class.

Actually, up until now, all the advice Yang Bailao had given him had proven to be true. As soon as news of Yang Zhen being in the Xiansui Training Class was spread, many practitioners believed it. However…they believed it a bit too much.

Looking at the densely packed practitioners on the peak of Flower Face Mountain, so many that he couldn’t even count, Wandering Lu You was on the verge of breaking into cold sweats.

Blast it, did these people have nothing better to do? Why would they travel thousands of miles to Flower Face Mountain? Were they here to see Yang Zhen?

Wandering Lu You wasn’t stupid. In fact, he was very smart. Almost instantly, he realized that something was off.

Even though Yang Zhen had shattered the shackles of the cosmos, it was a great achievement. Any practitioner with some cultivation could sense the surge in the cosmic energy. Wasn’t this a great deed?

However, these people seemed to be here to rebuke him. What were they planning to do?

Even those who were initially on the fence about joining the Xiansui Training Class were scared off.

Wandering Lu You stared at the increasing number of practitioners with a solemn expression, beginning to feel like cursing.

Something significant must have occurred during the time he had been busying himself on Flower Face Mountain, something that had made Yang Zhen the target of everyone’s resentment.

Only this could explain why so many powerhouses at the Tribulation Crossing Period had come knocking on the door, demanding Yang Zhen be turned over without mincing words.

All the hard work was falling apart at the last moment!

Wandering Lu You’s face darkened. In his heart, he cursed at Yang Zhen through and through. If it weren’t for Yang Zhen definitely stirring up some trouble again, he and Yang Bailao’s plan would probably have been realized by now.

If the plan had gone smoothly, half of the gathered practitioners in front of him would probably be here to offer him crystals.

“This bastard Yang Zhen!”

Wandering Lu You gritted his teeth and cursed at Yang Zhen, hurriedly put on a smiling face, and walked out amidst hearty laughter.

“The arrival of fellow Daoists brings honor to my humble abode, I wonder which of my friends wish to inquire…”

“Enquire my ass, Wandering Lu You. We’re not here to discuss your bloody training classes with you. Spit out Yang Zhen right now!”

Wandering Lu You’s face darkened. He stared at the powerhouse at the Tribulation Crossing Period who had spoken up and asked, “May I know the name of the esteemed Daoist? Why such rage?”

On any normal day, if a fellow powerhouse from the Tribulation Crossing Period dared to speak to him like that, Wandering Lu You would have given him a piece of his mind.

But at the current moment, Wandering Lu You didn’t dare to. That powerhouse at the Tribulation Crossing Period was surrounded by several others at the same stage. If a fight broke out, Wandering Lu You would have difficulty even trying to escape.

“Master Lu, please don’t take offense. This is Jiang Zuolei, the senior in charge at Beicang Gate. He’s always straightforward like this!”

A short and plump elder next to Jiang Zuolei said with a guffaw.

Wandering Lu You’s face flickered with mockery. He stared at the plump elder and said, “Old Ghost Bai, no need to feign politeness. Although Yang Zhen is recuperating at my Xiansui Training Class, regardless of whether he is here or not, you can’t expect me to just hand him over to any Tom, Dick or Harry. Where should I put my face then?”

“You!” A furious expression was drawn on Jiang Zuolei’s face as he stared at Wandering Lu You and yelled, “Lu You, I’m afraid you still don’t understand what you have done. Yang Zhen betrayed the people, shattered the heavenly constraints causing turmoil in the world. Such a heinous person, yet you want to cover for him. Might you also be harboring malicious intentions?”

A cool expression surfaced on Wandering Lu You’s face as he was about to retort.

An old crone next to Jiang Zuolei said slyly, “Wandering Lu You, our relationship has been quite good. However, what you’re doing this time seems absurd. Yang Zhen is ruthless and heartless. After breaking the heavenly constraints, thousands of practitioners died because of him. Doesn’t he owe an explanation for this?”

“Elder Yue Yufeng is not wrong,” someone chimed in. “I was also one of the ones who entered the Forbidden Land of Life. The holy-level Spirit Soul had made it clear—after the heavenly constraints were broken, the whole Northern Island would fall into an irreparable abyss. The revival of the vital energy might just be a facade. The collapse of the Forbidden Land of Life is the proof. Thousands of Divine Travel Stage practitioners were sucked into spatial turbulence. The screams are still ringing in my ears. Shouldn’t Yang Zhen pay a price for his actions?”

Many others chimed in, accusing Yang Zhen of various wrongs, leaving Wandering Lu You utterly dumbfounded.

“Yang… Yang Zhen really isn’t with me!” Wandering Lu You showed a bewildered look on his face, suddenly realizing that what he knew about Yang Zhen only came from Yang Bailao’s side of the story, and he had only met Yang Bailao once so far.

Was such one-sided testimony more reliable than common consensus?

Obvious panic appeared on Wandering Lu You’s face.

Jiang Zuolei snorted and walked forward, staring at Wandering Lu You and asked, “So, the boy Yang Zhen really isn’t with you?”

Wandering Lu You scoffed and glanced at Jiang Zuolei disdainfully, “Old Jiang, even if I completely disregard you a thousand or even ten thousand times, there are so many peers present, can I still afford to ignore all of them? If Yang Zhen is not here, then he’s not here. Believe it or not!”

“You…” Jiang Zuolei was furious, staring at Wandering Lu You, clearly on the verge of a physical clash.

At the side, Yue Yufeng had a gloomy look on her face. She turned to Mo Xuefeng and others with a false smile, “So, it seems that Yang Zhen may not be here after all!”

She cleared her throat loudly, “I have heard that when the Forbidden Land of Life collapsed, some people heard Mo Xueling, the successor of Ink Pool Peak, yell out the name of the peak before losing touch with Yang Zhen. May I ask Mo Lingnu, did you and Yang Zhen arrange to meet at Ink Pool Peak? Is Yang Zhen at Ink Pool Peak now?”

Upon hearing Yue Yufeng’s words, everyone’s eyes fell on Mo Xueling, their expressions becoming suspicious.

Even more, some individuals were staring maliciously at the calm Hua Youyue next to Mo Xueling, their faces dark and uncertain.

Mo Xueling’s expression changed, her gem-blue eyes narrowing slightly. As she was about to speak, a handsome middle-aged man next to her said cheerfully to Yue Yufeng, “Elder Yue, everything should be based on evidence. What proof do you have that Yang Zhen is currently at my Ink Pool Peak?”

At this, Yue Yufeng laughed heartily, staring at the handsome middle-aged man, “Will anyone admit to harboring Yang Zhen?”

“You…” The handsome middle-aged man didn’t know quite what to say, suddenly seeming enraged and at a loss for words.

Mo Xueling uttered a reprimand, “Elder Yue thinks we would have come here if Yang Zhen were at Ink Pool Peak?”

“Who knows!” Yue Yufeng laughed coldly, “Who knows what you’re trying to achieve by coming here? In my opinion, if Ink Pool Peak wants to clear suspicion, why not hand over Hua Youyue? This way, we wouldn’t have to worry about Yang Zhen not showing up, right?”

“This old witch…” Mo Xueling clenched her teeth in anger.

“Ling’er!” The handsome middle-aged man whispered sternly.

Hua Youyue, who had remained indifferent, fluttered her eyelashes. Taking two steps forward and about to speak, a clear voice came from behind the crowd.

“I wonder what does everyone want with Yang Zhen?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

“Who? Who is that?”

“Insane… Han Yan’er!”

“What? That little girl is the fool?”
