Chapter 872: Chapter 898: Truly Lonely as Snow

“Demon Wind Precipice, the Sacred Tomb must be at Demon Wind Precipice!”

Yao Lianxing’s face paled as he took a deep breath and then showed a look of sudden realization, laughing heartily as he slapped Yang Zhen’s shoulder and said, “Young friend Yang is indeed extraordinarily intelligent, such an inference allowed you to deduce the exact location of the Sacred Tomb!”

The others were confused, and the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord was even more curious as he stared with wide eyes and asked, “What are you talking about? What’s this Demon Wind Precipice, and how does Yang Zhen know about this place? How do you know the Sacred Tomb is at Demon Wind Precipice?”

A series of questions made everyone more curious, all eyes turning to Yang Zhen and Yao Lianxing!

Yao Lianxing laughed heartily and said, “Honored seniors, let’s talk as we go, the Sacred Tomb absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable!”

Although everyone was curious in their hearts, they also knew it wasn’t the time to press for answers, and they all got ready, traveling by sword flight.

On their way, Yao Lianxing ordered his disciples to inform Elder Jian and others, asking Elder Jian and the authorities of the Yao Saint Palace, including the strong ones from Yaochi Holy Land, to head to Demon Wind Precipice, and also dispatched some people to notify the Demon God Territory.

“Kid, how did you guess this? With this being’s brilliant mind, I can’t fathom how you knew; has the ‘Heavenly Book’ become so powerful now?”

The cheap cat followed behind Yang Zhen, full of curiosity, asking.

The rest of the people also looked at Yang Zhen, who shook his head and said, “I merely mentioned it casually; it was the Yao Saint Lord who made the actual judgment!”

Yao Lianxing laughed heartily again and said, “Since when has young friend Yang become so modest? Indeed, you casually mentioned it, but it was exactly your casual remark that helped me thoroughly connect all the causes and effects of the incident. No wonder, no wonder the Demon Sect paid no heed when they learned that Yaochi Holy Land was searching near Tianxing Mountain Valley. Instead, they even dispatched a few men to go there as well, creating diversions…”

There were no fools present, and upon hearing this, they all had their moments of enlightenment.

The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord chuckled and said, “So, when you failed to find it in the Tianxing Mountain Valley and expanded your search to Demon Wind Precipice, that’s when the Demon Sect couldn’t hold back anymore?”

Yao Lianxing snorted coldly and said, “They must have figured out long ago that the Sacred Tomb was near Demon Wind Precipice; otherwise, they wouldn’t have attacked Yaochi Holy Land so fiercely, preventing us from entering Demon Wind Precipice!”

Everyone nodded in agreement. With the foundation of the Demon Sect, even if they took down the entire Yaochi Holy Land, the rewards would not compare to the price they paid. The current ferocious attack on Yaochi Holy Land, if not to create diversion and hinder Yaochi Holy Land from entering Demon Wind Precipice, would simply be a loss-making endeavor.

It was precisely because of this suspicion that Yang Zhen had asked his question!

Indeed, they had found the location of the Sacred Tomb!

Life, indeed, is as lonely as snow!

Yang Zhen, gazing at the unusual aura near Demon Wind Precipice, grinned and said to Feng Wuya and the others, “How about it? How shall we go in?”

Before Feng Wuya and the others could answer, the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord burst into hearty laughter and said, “How else could we enter but to force our way in? I will lead the charge and test the depth of the Demon Sect!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord erupted with a terrifying aura, his ferocious presence shrouding the heavens, colorful streamers glistening above his head, his entire persona as formidable as a rainbow, and his long sword emitting a series of dragon roars, clearly uninterested in making a stealthy attack.

The aura of Demon Wind Precipice was indeed strange, all present could sense something was definitely off. Yang Zhen liked the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord’s forthrightness and laughed, turning to Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, saying, “Both of you, be careful!”

And with that, not waiting for the two women to reply, Yang Zhen burst forth like a cannonball, directly shattering a small hill at Demon Wind Precipice.

The earth wave was terrifying, dust kicked up, and the horrific sounds and vibrations spread around with rumbling intensity, mingled with wails and howls.

Countless demonic puppets surged out from all directions of Demon Wind Precipice, rushing towards Yang Zhen and his companions. Amid the earth-shaking moment, a dense crowd appeared, a terrifying wave of dark energy engulfing Yang Zhen in the blink of an eye!

Indeed, it was here!

The others brightened up, bursting forth, colliding heavily into the army of demonic puppets.

Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er exchanged glances, one gold and one white, their streamers like the sun and the moon streaking toward the demonic puppets. The golden and white dragons suddenly spun rapidly, merging into a cataclysmic beam of light that erupted in a torrential aura.

Yang Zhen shattered a group of demon puppets with a single sword strike, and, astonished, turned to look. The young lady and the little Daoist had somehow devised this joint attack technique, seamlessly merging Yin and Yang in a way that was both stunningly beautiful and frighteningly powerful.

Hua Youyue, dressed in white, wielded her Moon Shadow Longsword that turned everything in its path into an icy world. Flower petals fell from the sky, each one containing endless killing intent.

The little Daoist’s long legs gracefully touched the ground before catapulting her up each time, creating an incredibly beautiful scene tinged with mechanics that had Yang Zhen’s eyes shining brightly!

Boom!

The terrifying sound of waves approached as endless demon puppets fell and replaced one another as if they could never be completely defeated!

The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord roared, cursing, “These damn things are just too many, we can’t finish killing them all!”

Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, “The more demon puppets here, the surer we can be that the Saint Tomb is right here. We don’t need to bother with these creatures, just kill our way through.”

The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, saying, “Good, lad, let’s see who can fight their way in first?”

Yang Zhen’s eyes gleamed as he asked, “What’s the bet?”

The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord gave a sly smile, “It’s about that set of movement techniques you have!”

Feng Wuya and the others were at a loss for words, realizing the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord had long coveted Yang Zhen’s movement technique.

Indeed, Yang Zhen’s movement technique was something extraordinary, with speed comparable to lightning, making it impossible to catch up with.

But after all, the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord was a fighter of the Celestial Phase, would Yang Zhen really agree to race against him?

“Alright!”

Yang Zhen’s response made Feng Wuya and the rest stagger, looking at Yang Zhen with faces full of disbelief.

He actually agreed?

A newcomer to the Circulation Phase, challenging a true Celestial Phase expert to see who could breach through faster?

The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord’s eyes brightened, and he laughed loudly before curiously asking, “What do you want to win from me?”

Yang Zhen twisted his mouth dismissively and said, “What good things could you possibly have on you!”

The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord’s eyes widened as he retorted, “Kid, don’t say I don’t have anything good. If you win, I’ll tell you a secret!”

“What secret?” Yang Zhen asked with genuine curiosity.

“About eternal life!” The Five Wheel Heavenly Lord grinned, bursting a Celestial Phase demon puppet with a punch!

Eternal life?

Yang Zhen was taken aback, giving the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord a meaningful look. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t tempted, but in this world, could there truly be eternal life?

Feng Wuya and the others frowned, glancing at the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord with hesitation, as if they wanted to say something but held back. Their gaze towards Yang Zhen turned rather peculiar.

Perhaps because everyone knew Yang Zhen couldn’t win, although they wanted to say something, they held back and only gave the Five Wheel Heavenly Lord a helpless glare.

“Done!”

Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, “It’s a deal!”
