Chapter 680: Chapter 684 - 690: Overwhelming Evil Aura! Endless Iron Chains! (Second Update)

“What? He is Yang Zhen?”

Upon hearing the practitioner’s exclamation, everyone was flabbergasted, their faces filled with shock as they stared at the disheveled figure before them.

“Impossible, didn’t Yang Zhen already die? Why would he appear here?”

“Didn’t you hear what he just said? He referred to himself as Sao Saint and even claimed that Hua Youyue is his woman. Besides Yang Zhen, who else in Northern Island would dare say that Hua Youyue is his woman?”

“This… Yang Zhen came out of Thunder Lustre Hellfire? How is that possible? Even cultivators at the Circulation Phase can’t infiltrate it, how could Yang Zhen manage to escape?”

“More than this, I’m even more curious if Yang Zhen actually created his unique Dao.”

“My friend, you jest. Creating one’s unique Dao is simply nonsense, grand but false talk. Only the legendary Yang Zhen could speak such words.”

“You must be a member of the Ancient tribe, no?”

“How did you know?”

“It’s not hard to guess. Only those of us who lived in the same era as Yang Zhen know how dreadful he is!”

“Ridiculous! That’s because you haven’t seen the power of the Ancient tribe yet. Of the five clans, Lu Guihai, the Saint of the Ancient Origin Holy Land, was among them. Lu Guihai is already acknowledged as the strongest youth in Northern Island. Even powerful individuals like Duan Sihai have been wounded by Lu Guihai’s hand. Once Yang Zhen meets him, he’ll soon realize there are always people better than you.”

“Let’s not mention Lu Guihai of the Ancient Origin Holy Land for now. Even the Saintess from Yin Kui clan is already a top-tier cultivator at the Divine Transformation Stage. It is rumoured that she’s not on good terms with Hua Youyue. Even with exceptional talent, can Yang Zhen really be at the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage at this time?”

At this point, everyone looked baffled, exchanging glances as they all turned toward the entrance of the Tri-Floral Temple, where Yang Zhen had just entered.

Everyone wore stunned expressions when someone suddenly spoke, “Did any of you notice what cultivation level Yang Zhen was at?”

“This… I was just so taken aback that I really didn’t notice Yang Zhen’s realm. This is indeed strange.”

“Hmm? I too failed to sense the aura of Yang Zhen’s realm. Could it be that no one here detected it?”

“I paid attention, but…”

“But what? You old coot are really infuriating. If you noticed something, hurry up and spit it out.”

“I… didn’t sense any True Essence vibrations on Yang Zhen. It was like… he was a mortal.”

“Tch, impossible. Elder, could it be that your old eyes are playing tricks on you? Didn’t decipher it clearly? It is said that Yang Zhen was already a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana Phase when he was sealed. He has been sealed for a year, it’s not that his cultivation did not progress, instead, has he become a trash?”

A group of people exchanged glances, all with odd expressions.

Some even more curious individuals, seeing that Yang Zhen entered the Tri-Floral Temple, couldn’t resist their curiosity and followed him in.

Once the first person went in, the second and third soon followed. In no time, quite a few overly curious practitioners had all entered the Tri-Floral Temple.

The remaining people all looked on with astonished faces at the entrance of the Tri-Floral Temple, many of them unable to come to terms even now.

Has Yang Zhen come?

He appeared in such a sloppy manner before everyone, uttering bold statements about going to beat the tribesmen until… until their mothers wouldn’t recognize them?

“That’s Yang Zhen for you, still as brash as ever. In this situation, let alone beating the tribesmen until their mothers don’t recognize them, even his survival would be a miracle.”

…

Inside the Tri-Floral Temple, Hua Youyue trembled all over, looking at the horrifying, unbelievable scene before her, her face full of stunned disbelief.

Han Yan’er had the Sun Shadow Sacred Sword in her hand and stood next to Hua Youyue and asked, “What… what’s going on?”

Even the contemptuous cat widened his eyes, expressing his surprise: “Damn, this place is indeed strange, it’s not the Tri-Floral Temple!”

“If it’s not the Tri-Floral Temple, then why was my sister able to come in so easily?” Han Yan’er asked in confusion while looking at the frightening scene before her, her complexion gradually turned serious.

Behind the three of them, the faces of the people from the five clans were full of shock, clearly astonished by what lay before them.

Kua Hu, pale-faced, stood beside the crowd with the Beiqi Clan, also taken aback.

Before everyone was an expansive space that seemed to have no bounds, shrouded in darkness. Amid the dusky atmosphere, numerous dark red chains quivered ceaselessly, making a clanging noise.

The chains were thick, at least as thick as an adult’s thigh. Countless chains converged in mid-air, a low, ferocious roar echoing across the murky surroundings, filling the air with an eerie chill that made one’s hair stand on end.

“This is definitely not the Tri-Floral Temple, nor is it the spirit soul of the Tri-Floral Saintess. This aura, it even makes me, an old man, feel a trembling in my spirit soul, which is obviously extraordinary.”

Kua Hu looked pale as he stared into the mid-air. Evidently, even if this place used to be the Tri-Floral Temple, it had now completely changed – at least one extremely powerful being had been sealed inside.

No one could see clearly where the other end of the chains led.

Terrifying waves of gloomy, dark energy rushed at them, making the faces of the practitioners with lower cultivation levels turn red. Some even spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, becoming dazed and confused.

“Even so, there must be some information about the life soul of the Tri-Floral here. Saintess Hua, can you remember anything about this place?” Jian Long sneered, turning to Hua Youyue.

Hua Youyue turned back and looked at Jian Long, shaking her head and said, “As I said before, I am not the Tri-Floral Saintess.”

Huo Rong smiled, gazed at Hua Youyue, and spoke word by word, “If you are not the Tri-Floral Saintess, then how could you have easily led us into the interior of the Tri-Floral Temple? Saintess Hua, now is not the time for you to hide anything. What kind of oddities are there here, and what kind of existence has been sealed here? It would be better if you told us while there’s still time.”

Hua Youyue furrowed her brows, she indeed could not remember whether this was the Tri-Floral Temple or not, let alone what kind of entity was sealed within it.

Upon hearing Huo Rong’s words, the contemptuous cat was immediately irritated, staring at Huo Rong and cursed, “Damn, I’ve lived for who knows how many years and this is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless and impudent old thing like you. If you want to know what was sealed inside, why don’t you go and see for yourself, what, are you scared?”

“Impudent!”

A young practitioner from the Fire Spirit Clan yelled out, staring at the contemptuous cat and said, “Contemptuous cat, mind your words. The matters of the Fire Spirit Clan, are not for you to meddle with!”

The contemptuous cat sneered, “Even if you let me meddle, I wouldn’t bother meddling. But I would advise you to be more low-key when you speak, or else…”

“Or else what?” Huo Rong coldly stared at the contemptuous cat and said, “A mere cat demon that’s lucked upon some good fortune is speaking such a big talk. I’m not like some other people who have been blinded to the truth.”

“Humph!” Kua Hu snorted, moving in front of Hua Youyue, gave a cold glance at Huo Rong, turned to Hua Youyue and asked, “Can’t you remember anything at all?”

Hua Youyue shook her head, “I cannot remember, but I have a bad premonition. The being we’re dealing with in front of us might not be something we can control.”

Kua Hu’s face darkened. He was about to speak when a laugh, tinkling like silver bells, rang out. From among the Yin Kui Clan, a young woman in thin clothes stepped forward, gazing at Hua Youyue with amusement and said, “According to legend, the Tri-Floral Saintess has extraordinary luck and also has the Tree of Immortality. Are you afraid, even in your own temple?”

Hua Youyue glanced at the young woman. Just as she was about to respond, another voice said solemnly, “Saintess Hua, we’re now all inside the Tri-Floral Temple. Here, the person who’s most familiar with everything is undoubtedly you. Why don’t you check what is there that’s worth … oh, worth your past self to use the Great Saint Realm to suppress?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing these words, the facial expressions of Hua Youyue and the others changed dramatically.

Clearly, the Five Clans were determined to force Hua Youyue to go and inspect the situation.
