Yang Zhen stared at Hua Youyue in astonishment, reflexively grabbing the cat trying to scurry away. He asked, incredulous, “Someone wants to kill me? Aren’t they just bored? What exactly is going on?”

Hua Youyue forced a smile and said, “Your actions on Turtle Serpent Island and East Forest Island have been reported to Wanhua Island, which naturally attracts attention. Actually, I also have no idea what exactly has happened. I only heard that a disciple from a blessed land in Wanhua Island proclaimed that as long as you dare to go to Wanhua Island, he will personally take your head.”

Yang Zhen burst out laughing upon hearing this, and said with interest, “Where did this idiot come from, showing off so much? Why doesn’t he just fly to heaven?”

Hua Youyue glared at Yang Zhen and said, “Talking about showing off, who can be more showy than you?”

Tiger and dragon sigils condensed into form on Turtle Serpent Island, and on East Forest Island, Yang Zhen had used the Shanggeng Mirror World to kill two Void Cultivation Stage experts with one punch. Upon reflection, it seemed no one was more flamboyant than him. Feeling a bit embarrassed yet intrigued, he asked, “What’s this guy’s name?”

Hua Youyue hesitated before revealing, “From Mountian Hua’s blessed land, Lu Baichi!”

“Idiot?” both Yang Zhen and the cat echoed each other, stared at each other, and then burst into laughter together.

“Bloody hell, that name is too much!”

“Kid, we reconsidered. For someone like this idiot, let’s not bother. Besides, the Eastern Desolation Emperor was no ordinary person. Whatever he left behind could be dangerous; we’d better not go.”

Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looking in the direction of Wanhua Island, and asserted, “No, I need to check this out for myself. I want to see what connection this damn tattoo on my body has to the Eastern Desolation Emperor. If not, I won’t sleep at night!”

“You crazy?” the cat, a towering three feet high, jumped onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder, stared at him, and said, “That’s a great emperor, with a simple breath he could kill you several times over!”

Yang Zhen shrugged and said, “No matter how powerful, he’s disappeared for many years now, besides, aren’t you curious where these Emperor Realm Experts have gone?”

The cat retracted its neck and shook its head, “I am not curious, and you should not go poking around. What’s wrong with just cultivating earnestly? Curiosity killed the cat!”

Yang Zhen glanced at the cat, turned around and left, waving his hand at Hua Youyue over his shoulder.

The cat gave a shout, pointing at Yang Zhen saying, “Kid, clarify what you meant by that look. I am a kylin, a kylin who could go anywhere, not a cat!” “I didn’t say you were a cat, what are you so anxious about?”

“Bloody hell, do you believe I can slap you to death?”

“Come on, try slapping me!”

“I don’t want to stoop to your level!”

“Wimp!”

“Damn!”

Hua Youyue dazedly watched as Yang Zhen and the cat disappeared into the distance, murmuring, “Lu Baichi is not an ordinary genius, once you leave, can you continue to create legends?”

Wanhua Island was somewhat different from what Yang Zhen had imagined. The place was pervaded by a rampant fire element, causing one to feel stifled and irritated.

Yang Zhen and the cat journeyed by boat and as soon as they stepped on Wanhua Island, they were stopped by a group of people armed to the teeth. “Who’s there?” The leader, a dark gold armored figure, glared at Yang Zhen and the cat.

Yang Zhen couldn’t be bothered with these people. It was already uncomfortable enough to be out in such hot weather. There was no need to give them any more trouble, so he simply tossed over Elder Gu’s badge. The armored figure instinctively caught the badge and after one look, his complexion drastically changed. With a clap, he saluted and respectfully asked, “Are you Young Master Yang Zhen?”

“Eh?” Yang Zhen blinked in surprise before finally nodding and saying, “Yes, that’s me.”

The armored figure lit up and said, “Great, you’re finally here. We were ordered to take you to Wanhua Tower as soon as you arrived.”

Yang Zhen asked in confusion, “Who ordered you, and what’s this Wanhua Tower?”

The cat was also on guard, staring at the armored figure with a look that suggested it was ready to run at the first sign of trouble.

“Young Master Yang, there’s no need to worry. Wanhua Tower is simply a restaurant, the largest tavern on Wanhua Island. It’s almost pointless to come to Wanhua Island and not visit it. As for who gave us the order, you will find out when you arrive. I am just responsible for leading the way!”

“Kid, be careful, it could be a trap!” the cheeky cat whispered into Yang Zhen’s ear.

“…Besides, Wanhua Tower has already prepared the Wanhua Banquet, just waiting for Young Master Yang’s arrival!”

Upon hearing the words ‘Wanhua Banquet,’ the cheeky cat’s mouth instantly began to drool. Yang Zhen slapped under the cat’s chin, smearing all the saliva over its fur without leaving a trace.

The cheeky cat wailed out, gripping Yang Zhen’s shoulder, and said, “Kid, His Highness has thought it over. Since we’re already here on Wanhua Island, we should venture into Wanhua Tower even if it’s as perilous as a den of dragons and tigers. Don’t worry, His Highness will lead the way this time!”

Yang Zhen stared at the cheeky cat and said, “First, wipe your mouth!”

The cheeky cat glared, shaking its head and replied, “Can you take back the water that has leaked out?”

Yang Zhen’s face darkened, and he slapped the cheeky cat’s head.

The cheeky cat cringed its neck, unable to dodge Yang Zhen’s slap, and haughtily said to the iron goad, “Hurry up and show the way. His Highness is tired from the long journey and needs to rest soon!”

The iron goad chuckled, saying to Yang Zhen and the cat, “Please follow me!”

True to its reputation, Wanhua Tower was indeed the biggest bar on Wanhua Island, bustling with people but well-ordered. Seeing Yang Zhen and others entering, everyone stopped their activities and turned to look at Yang Zhen. A young woman in a dark red dress gracefully walked over. After exchanging a few words with the iron goad, she came up to Yang Zhen with a smile and said, “Master Yang, this way please!”

Upon hearing the woman’s words, everyone present was taken aback, looking incredulously at Yang Zhen.

“No wonder that cat seemed so familiar, so it turns out Yang Zhen is here!”

“Yang Zhen is really gutsy to show up. This is going to stir things up. Now Lu

Baichi might even hurry over here once he hears the news.”

“I really wonder what kind of scene it will be when these two meet.”

“Yang Zhen deals with things in an idiosyncratic way, going by his preferences, while Lu Baichi is arrogant and looks down on everyone. When these two meet, it will be quite interesting. They might even get into a fight.”

“Who do you think will win?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Even though there are rumors that Yang Zhen killed a Void Cultivation Stage expert, Lu Baichi can also kill one. Additionally, with just one stroke, he killed three Void Cultivation Stage experts. With such a monster, how can Yang Zhen stand a chance?”

The cheeky cat, resting on Yang Zhen’s shoulder, suddenly pricked up its ears and grabbed Yang Zhen’s collar, “Holy crap! Kid, we’re in deep trouble. That idiot can kill three Void Cultivation Stage experts with a single stroke. He’s clearly very powerful. Shouldn’t we get out of here?”

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, glanced in the direction of the people talking, and said with a smirk, “Who offended the Void Cultivation Stage practitioners? They really got the short end of the stick.”

“Damn it, now is not the time to discuss this. If we don’t leave, what if that idiot kills you with a single stroke?”

“Can’t you have a little faith in me?”

“I’m just trying to look out for you.”

“Are you eating at the Wanhua Banquet or not?”

“Eat!”

“Then shut up!”

As he followed the woman upstairs, Yang Zhen was somewhat curious.

Lu Baichi was so eager to kill him, yet someone was inviting him for dinner.

Who could possibly be behind this?

Yang Zhen tried to figure it out for a while, but couldn’t make heads or tails of

He simply stopped worrying, walked up the stairs nonchalantly.

Those who invited him for dinner fell into two categories: friends, possibly Elder Gu’s side, and enemies, either Lu Baichi or some others who wanted to kill him.

This was indeed a puzzle, and Yang Zhen didn’t like puzzles. Rather than guessing incessantly, Yang Zhen preferred to dig straight to the bottom of things or throw punches directly..
