Chapter 962: Chapter 989: Only Children Make Choices! (Second Update)

Yang Zhen approached the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin and almost burst out laughing.

Huo Lian and others were staring blankly at the node, clueless about what to do next. In particular, Valley Granny, with her life-doubting expression, looked so frustrated that Yang Zhen dared not get too close; he feared that the old lady might sacrifice him to the heavens if she were in a bad mood.

Seeing their eyes shift toward him instantly, Yang Zhen cautiously walked up to the four of them and said with a smile, “Seniors, I’ve come to help.”

Impatience flashed across Valley Granny’s face as she glared at Yang Zhen and said, “All the prohibitions have been broken through, and I can feel it. The only question is why this node remains unresponsive. To obtain the inheritance inside the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, this node must be unlocked. Take a look, can you solve it?”

Yang Zhen squatted in front of the node and observed it for a long time. This time it was not an act, for he truly did not know how to solve the node or what would happen after it was solved.

Huo Lian, who was quite impatient, became irritated upon seeing Yang Zhen silent for so long and eagerly asked, “Kid, can you unlock it or not?”

Yang Zhen took a deep breath, glanced at Huo Lian, and said, “It can be unlocked, but there seems to be something peculiar here, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin is incomplete!”

“What?” Valley Granny’s complexion changed, visibly angry, and she pressed Yang Zhen, “What do you mean the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin is incomplete?”

The Second Elder snorted coldly and subconsciously walked behind Yang Zhen, blocking his way, and spoke in a chilly voice, “After such great efforts, we end up with an incomplete coffin. Young man, if you do not have a convincing excuse, none of you three will leave here today, and the Shangyuan Sect… will cease to exist.”

Yang Zhen glanced at the Second Elder and cursed inwardly. This wasn’t because Yang Zhen deliberately refrained from speaking; he had only just realized the difference between the prohibitions on the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin and this node. Although they seemed the same, there were complicated variations that nearly confused Yang Zhen.

The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin was not a complete Nine Dragon Coffin, or rather, its prohibition was not complete. To fully unlock this prohibition, a very cold Heaven and Earth Treasure was required.

After hearing Yang Zhen’s explanation, Valley Granny’s expression relaxed slightly, and with a hint of derision, she said, “Kid, I have experienced such things before. It might be a test intentionally left by predecessors to protect the inheritance from destruction. It’s not your fault. I just want to know, can you tell what else is needed to unlock the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin?”

The two who had followed Yang Zhen inside, Sao Saint and Han Yan’er, were startled, especially Sao Saint who approached Yang Zhen and asked in surprise, “Do we need something else?”

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “The Nine Dragons Great Saint might not be dead.”

“What?” Startled, Sao Saint hid behind Yang Zhen and looked at the Nine Dragon Coffin, marveling for a long while before saying, “What an impressive coffin that steals the essence of heaven and earth. You’re right; the Nine Dragons Great Saint is indeed not dead, but for now, he might as well be. If we don’t find an extremely cold Heaven and Earth Treasure within five days, forget the coffin, no one will obtain the inheritance inside.”

A flash of anger passed over Valley Granny’s face as she stared at the Nine Dragon Coffin and said, “There are extremely cold things available, but why would the Nine Dragons predecessor need such a thing?”

“Resurrection!”

Yang Zhen spoke in a grave voice and glanced at Valley Granny, only to see her pale visage. He then grinned and said, “Valley Granny, now that things are clear, I don’t have an extremely cold Heaven and Earth Treasure on me, and I doubt any of you would casually carry such a dangerous thing either. There’s nothing left for me to do here, so may I leave now?”

What the hell, after so much effort, everyone was duped by the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin.

Yet, in his heart, Yang Zhen mostly understood that the inheritance inside the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin must be something extraordinary.

After all, an inheritance that only revealed itself upon placing an extremely cold Heaven and Earth Treasure inside the coffin, and which was tied to the resurrection of the Nine Dragons Great Saint—how could it possibly be ordinary?

Heaven and Earth Treasures are pretty valuable too, right?

When Valley Granny heard Yang Zhen’s words, not only did she not show any sign of anger, but she burst into hearty laughter and said, “Heaven helps me, too! I don’t care about the resurrection of the Nine Dragons Great Saint. This inheritance must be the most precious thing of his entire life, worth his fortune and life.”

Then, Valley Granny’s face suddenly took on a playful look as she eyed Yang Zhen and said, “Young man, it’s not that I’m going back on my word, but it seems you’re the only one who can decipher the coffin. Even I, who have spent a lifetime studying ancient inheritances, am no match for you in this respect. Do you think we will let you go before obtaining the inheritance of the Nine Dragons Great Saint?”

Upon hearing Valley Granny’s words, Yang Zhen’s heart sank completely. Setting his jaw, he decided to fight for his life with the four old ones.

Damn, if he had known these four old ones wouldn’t let him go so easily, he would have tricked them even worse. At least then, getting beaten up would have hurt a little less.

Yang Zhen glared at Valley Granny, glanced at the other three old men who were also smirking, and without a word stepped in front of Sao Saint and Han Yan’er. With a loud bang, he pulled out the Great Missing Sword and said to the four Half-step Great Saints, “Had I known it would come to blows, I wouldn’t have wasted so much breath talking to you all. My mouth is dry from all the talking, Saint Sao.”

“You… what did you say?” Valley Granny’s face showed a puzzled expression, looking at Yang Zhen in confusion.

The other three Half-step Great Saints also had bewildered expressions, stunned by Yang Zhen’s sudden remark.

Everyone’s hearts nearly jumped out of their chests as they saw Yang Zhen apparently about to fight with four Half-step Great Saints, all of them drawing a sharp breath and frantically running away.

He’s really going to fight?

These were four Half-step Great Saints, whom, with one slap each, might accidentally smite bystanders to death. Who would dare to stay too close to Yang Zhen now?

Although Yang Zhen’s words were puzzling, when they saw him take out the sacred weapon, Valley Granny and the others no longer doubted what Yang Zhen intended to do. They exchanged glances, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Especially Valley Granny, whose laughter turned into a sneer as she stared at Yang Zhen and said, “Kid, do you think you’re qualified to fight against any of us four?”

Yang Zhen spat and said, “Fight against any of you four? Haven’t you heard an old saying?”

“What saying?” Huo Lian’s face showed impatience. If it weren’t for Valley Granny holding a conversation with Yang Zhen, he would have slapped Yang Zhen to death long ago.

Having heard Yang Zhen’s brazen words, Huo Lian seemed to have finally lost his patience and stepped forward, gesturing to deal with Yang Zhen himself.

Yet, Yang Zhen did not show any sign of panic on his face, and instead turned his gaze towards Huo Lian, smiled widely, and said, “Only kids make choices. You four old scruffs, this Sao Saint chooses none of you; come at me all together and see if you can kill me?”

“Presumptuous!”

The four of them were furious, their faces filled with murderous intent. Just as they fixed their gaze on Yang Zhen and were about to speak, Yang Zhen suddenly stomped heavily on the ground.

The entire Nine Dragons Sparrow Platform seemed to come alive, rumbling with boundless power. In the sky, there seemed to be dragon sparrows singing, the churning clouds mimicking the boiling lava of the Nine Nether Purgatory.

It exploded!

The entire restriction, completely exploded!

“Impossible, you… how could you possibly control the restrictions of this place!” Valley Granny’s face showed disbelief, staring at Yang Zhen in shock.

The fact that Yang Zhen could control the local restrictions was a great surprise to everyone. But what surprised them even more was, if Yang Zhen could control the restrictions, wouldn’t it be easy for him to undo them?

Thinking back, the three Half-step Great Saints were screaming their lungs out, either calling themselves big stupid donkeys or big sand sculptures…

Oh my, in the presence of thousands, everyone looked quizzically at the four Half-step Great Saints.

And the four Half-step Great Saints did not disappoint, all with ashen faces and quivering mouth corners, especially Huo Lian, whose mouth twitched so fast that drool flowed down the side.

This situation only meant one thing: everything before had been Yang Zhen’s trickery; it wasn’t any senior joking around, it was Yang Zhen toyed with the four Half-step Great Saints!

“Yang Zhen, you little… you’re courting death!”

Roar—!

Huo Lian completely unleashed his rage, the entire heaven and earth seemed to be shrouded by a devastating wave of fire.

The scrawny cat turned deathly pale, clinging tightly to Yang Zhen’s head and shrieked, “Holy crap, that’s terrifying, kid, what do we do?”
