Hearing Liang Lieâs words, You Yan quickly responded with a smile, âHow kind of you, Sect Master Liang, but itâs not necessary. Iâve already arranged everything. If that Yang Zhen dares to join the aerial vehicle competition, he will definitely experience isolation.â
Liang Lie burst into laughter, patting You Yan on the shoulder, âThanks for the effort, donât worry. After this, I wonât forget to reward you.â
You Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, âSect Master Liang, Iâm a bit puzzled. Is it necessary to go to such great lengths to deal with a Yang Zhen? Wouldnât it be simpler to seize an opportunity to kill him?â
Liang Lie scoffed, explaining, âKilling Yang Zhen would be too easy; it would be letting him off too lightly. Iâve become a laughingstock in Northern Island. If I donât utterly humiliate Yang Zhen and tarnish his reputation, where would my face be?â
Seeing the dark tumult on Liang Lieâs face, You Yan lowered his gaze, âI hope for your support in the matter of Mobei abyss, Sect Master Liang.â
Liang Lie chuckled, âGo ahead. As long as Yang Zhen dies, I will keep my promise and safely take you to the Mobei abyss.â
You Yanâs face lit up, âThanks a lot, Sect Master Liang!â
Thereafter, You Yan excused himself and left.
Watching You Yanâs retreating back, Liang Lie sneered. A hint of contempt flashed through his eyes.
In Ink Pool Peak, Yang Zhen was engrossed in tinkering with a metal arm when the sneaky cat rushed in, yelling, âDammit, boy! Youâve been tricked!â
âWhatâs going on?â Yang Zhen got curious, âWho dares? Itâs usually the Sao Saint who fools people. When did someone dare to fool Sao Saint?â
The sneaky cat relayed all the gossip of the past few days. Yang Zhen was flabbergasted, âYou mean someone stealthily spread the rumor that Sao Saint wants to take on Weizhen Sky and sweep through all the flying vehicles?â âExactly!â The cat cursed angrily, âThe bastard! So despicably shameless. Goddamn, damn shameless to even think of such a cheap idea, truly detestable!â
Yang Zhen stared at the cat in a daze, then suddenly erupted in anger, rising to his feet and throwing his metal arm on the ground, âWho the hell spread this news?â
The cat snorted, âWho else could it be? It must be that fool Liang Lie. Moreover, he has increased the reward for the first place. And guess what else?â
The cat continued with a look of disdain, âThatâs not even the worst of it. Now thereâs a âYang Zhen Guardian Teamâ in Northern Island that already has thousands of members. Dammit, arenât these people just pathetic?â
Yang Zhen stood dumbfounded at these words, muttering to himself, âHoly crap, I thought the supporting role wasnât supposed to be smart. Who wouldâve thought to plan out such a plot? This is a once-in-a-thousand-years talent!â The cat was taken aback, staring at Yang Zhen, âBoy, are you scared silly? At this time, youâre praising that fool Liang Lie as a genius?â
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, winking at the cat, âIf he isnât a genius, what is he? Sao Saint was worrying about how to get Sao Saintâs participation in the aerial vehicle competition well-known, this fool Liang Lie did it for me. Isnât he a genius?â
âWhat the hell?â asked the cat, âYou want to cause an uproar on Northern Island, why is that?â
Yang Zhen looked at the cat disdainfully, âIf itâs not well-known, whatâs the point? Might as well go big if Iâm doing it. Otherwise, why do you think Sao Saint has spent so much brainpower constructing this thing?â
At Yang Zhenâs words, the catâs eyes lit up like two light bulbs, looking utterly astonished, âOh wow, kid, youâre even more devious. This will indeed make things interesting, but are you sure you can sweep through all the aerial vehicles?â
Yang Zhen snorted, âSao Saint fears that they might start doubting their existence if I fight them!â
The cat laughed, turned, and started to leave!
Yang Zhen was startled, âStop, where are you going?â
The cat excitedly said, âWhat else can I do, but to add fuel to the fire? Everyone is suspicious and anxious out there. Can you imagine if I go out and shout now? Would Northern Island not explode into chaos?â
Yang Zhenâs eyes lit up. He gave the cat a kick, âDamn, thinking about it excites me. Hurry up, the bigger the fire, the better. Best if you piss off that fool Liang Lie to death. Thatâs the only way to show off the Sao Saintâs awesomeness!â âWatch me, kid!â The cat swaggered off.
Yang Zhen picked up the metal arm from the ground, and spoke into the rear end of the cheap cat, âYouâd better keep a low profile. If you go out like this, youâre likely to get beaten up!â
Upon hearing this, the cheap cat trembled, and instantly stopped shaking its butt.
âYou guys think, could Yang Zhen really be so arrogant?â
âImpossible, this must be a rumor. Even if this practitioner called Yang Zhen is arrogant, he wouldnât dare to offend so many people at once. If he really dared to say such things, wouldnât he be courting death?â
âExactly, no one in all of Northern Island dares to claim that their flying device can surpass the mighty one. Who is Yang Zhen to beat it? How could it be possible!â
In the teahouse beneath the Ink Pool Peak town, everywhere were people discussing Yang Zhen. Even if you just stood next to two or three people, you could hear the name âYang Zhenâ.
The crowd was buzzing, among them a short practitioner with shifty eyes, looking left and right to see that no one was around, suddenly said, âYou say, is there something hidden about this matter, could someone be plotting against Yang Zhen?â
Upon hearing this, everyone jumped in fright.
Could there be any fools among those who came to participate in the flying device competition? This matter sounded strange, and as time went on, smarter people began to see through the tricks.
Everyone looked around in uncertainty and whispered, âWe should not talk about this randomly, lest there be someone listening and we offend some people.â
The crowd was nodding emphatically, all of a sudden, a strange voice reached their ears.
âWhatâs wrong with saying it? That fool, Liang Lie, daring to use tricks in front of Yang, is simply a jokeâ¦â
Upon hearing this voice, everyoneâs countenance changed drastically, and they immediately looked in the direction of the voice, jumping in fright.
âCheapâ¦cheap cat?â
The cheap cat was leaning at the window, smirking, and said, âMake no mistake, Iâm a kylin, not a cat, and my name is Cheap Cat, not even Cheaper Cat!â
âYou sayâ¦Liang Lie intentionally spread this news?â Someone asked in astonishment, their face full of shock, obviously having heard about the grudge between Liang Lie and Yang Zhen.
âCheap Cat, you canât just talk nonsense, do you have any proof?â someone challenged the Cheap Cat.
Cheap Cat cackled and stood up, a smug grin plastered across its face. Hand on hip, it said, âEvidence? No. Does Yang need evidence? Thatâs just ridiculous. You should go back and tell that Liang Lie, isnât he hoping that Yang Zhen would beat him? Tell him to clean his butt and wait, Yang said that his mighty device is nothing. Wait until my Sun Piercer comes on stage, his pile of junk will not even dare to fly, not to mention being mighty!â
Wow!
Upon hearing the Cheap Catâs words, everyoneâs eyes went wide.
It is confirmed!
It is really confirmed!
Yang is really going to beat everything!
Damn!
Everyone was excited and could hardly wait to see the look on Liang Lieâs face when he heard these words.
Boom!
Suddenly, many people rose from their seats, not even caring about paying for their tea, and soared into the sky, flying in the direction of the Separation Star Sect on their swords..
