Chapter 467: Chapter 473: Am I not the protagonist? (First update)

Boom—!

A thunderous explosion echoed, startling everyone present.

The raging waves of energy swept across the field, with flames soaring into the sky, burning a massive swath of the Death Zys. The surging momentum spread out, creating a violent windstorm that kicked up flying sand and rolling stones.

Everyone looked in shock towards the direction of the explosion. When a Mahayana Phase practitioner made his move, it was bound to shake the surroundings.

“Where’s Yang Zhen?”

Someone suddenly cried out, causing a great uproar.

Everyone began to look for Yang Zhen. Lu Qiju, filled with anger, had obviously decided to kill Yang Zhen in a single blow.

As they watched the endless waves of energy, Yang Zhen’s figure disappeared, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

“No good, this old man Lu Qiju has actually killed Yang Zhen. Does this mean among the practitioners present, only this old man Lu Qiju will know how to absorb the Void Power?”

“This old man is really nasty, claiming to think for our sake, he just wanted to deceive Yang Zhen.”

“What ‘sharing equally among those present’, I spit, this old man Lu…wait? Yang Zhen is not dead?”

“What, he’s not dead?”

After the dust settled, Yang Zhen hid behind Elder Qian and Old Ghost Qi, poking out his head in fear. Seeing the pale face of Lu Qiju, he didn’t wait for Lu Qiju to speak and suddenly said:

“Damn it, you scared the hell out of me, Lu Qiju. You old bag, you’ll get your comeuppance. I, the Sao Saint, originally thought I would receive your protection, but you’re the first one who wanted to kill me. Thanks to the righteousness of Elder Qian and Old Ghost Qi, if not, I would have died, wouldn’t I have made you succeed?”

Lu Qiju’s face was twisted in rage, and he stared at Yang Zhen coldly, turned and shouted at Old Ghost Qi, “Old Ghost Qi, are you an idiot? You believe this obvious frame-up?”

Old Ghost Qi retracted his hand, chuckling as he glanced at Yang Zhen and said, “Brother Lu, don’t be so angry. As long as you tell us how to absorb the Void Power, I can take Yang Zhen’s life for you. But if you can’t, I need to get it from Yang Zhen. You should understand that, even if this is obviously false, I can’t let you kill Yang Zhen. I dare not gamble!”

“What?”

Lu Qiju’s face changed, he glared at Old Ghost Qi and said, “Old Ghost Qi, do you want to cross swords with me today?”

Old Ghost Qi burst into laughter, staring at Lu Qiju and said, “So what if we cross swords?”

“You!”

Lu Qiju’s face was pale. He snorted coldly and said, “Since you don’t trust me, why don’t we both seize Yang Zhen and force him to say how to absorb the Void Power in public?”

At his words, everyone at the scene was taken aback, the eyes filled with shock and doubt looking at Lu Qiju.

“Did this bastard Yang Zhen really not tell Lu Qiju how to absorb the Void Power?”

“He should not have told him. If he had, why would Lu Qiju say such things?”

“Did… Yang Zhen deceive Elder Lu?”

“No, he deceived all of us!”

“Son of a… this Yang Zhen is full of tricks. We can’t trust a word he says.”

“We almost fell for his trick. This scoundrel really knows how to play people!” freewebnøvel.com

A crowd of people turned around and pointed fingers at Yang Zhen, hurling insults at him.

Yang Zhen saw the situation quickly turning against him, a look of disbelief flitting across his face.

Damn it, this wasn’t how the script was supposed to play out. In all those novels, autobiographies, and shows, the protagonist had used this method to defeat countless villains, so why was it not working here?

So, a strategy that appeared intellectually superior and highly sophisticated could be shattered this easily?

What the hell!

Was Sao Saint not the protagonist after all?

Yang Zhen was almost doubting his life. Looking at the furious Old Ghost Lu and Old Ghost Qi who wanted to devour him, Yang Zhen desperately turned to Elder Qian for help.

Elder Qian was also extremely pale, but facing two Mahayana Phase powerhouses, his heart was greater than his strength.

Seeing the look Yang Zhen cast at him, Elder Qian sighed, indicating his helplessness.

The rest of the crowd burst into laughter. Seeing Yang Zhen’s expression, and then Elder Qian’s look, it was clear that even if Elder Qian wanted to protect Yang Zhen, he was now powerless.

Lu Qiju, with a grim and ferocious expression, advanced toward Yang Zhen and stared into his eyes, “Kid, no matter how eloquent or crafty you are, in the face of true power, you are utterly feeble. You thought a simple trick could make two Mahayana Phase practitioners turn against each other, you’ve underestimated those in the Mahayana Phase too much, haven’t you?”

The Old Ghost Qi beside him looked at Lu Qiju doubtfully, still somewhat skeptical, turned to Lu Qiju and said, “Brother Lu, let me take care of this Yang Zhen kid. You hold Elder Qian off. After I catch Yang Zhen, we can interrogate him together!”

Lu Qiju stared at Old Ghost Qi in surprise for a moment, then scoffed.

With such an arrangement, it was clear to Lu Qiju that Old Ghost Qi hadn’t fully trusted him, fearing he might kill Yang Zhen with a single slap.

However, this was good too, without the method, Old Ghost Qi would never kill Yang Zhen.

At this idea, Lu Qiju paused. Damn, he made it sound like he got the method, in fact, he hadn’t understood what Yang Zhen was saying at all, something about ‘lonely, march solo, anoint the crown, continuous gourd’.

He’d never heard or even understood any of this. Was this the method to absorb Void Power?

Lu Qiju shook his head, discarding the convoluted sentences from his mind, glared at Yang Zhen, and said to Old Ghost Qi, “That works for me!”

Old Ghost Qi sneered, turnip to face Yang Zhen, and said with a grin, “Yang Zhen, actually, I didn’t want to make a move against you if I didn’t have to. After all, we need to save our True Essence to deal with the Death Zy and Sealed Land. You know the situation now, no matter how capable you are, you can’t get through anymore. How about it? Will you admit defeat?”

Upon hearing Old Ghost Qi’s words, everyone was taken aback, and the more discontented ones cursed. This Old Ghost Qi was really ungrateful. Damn it, he finally caught a break, why didn’t he just grab Yang Zhen and interrogate him? Did he want to save True Essence so much that he wanted Yang Zhen to confess himself?

Others might confess, but would Yang Zhen?

Clearly, Old Ghost Qi had yet to understand just how deeply Yang Zhen was playing his game. As they hurled curses, the crowd suddenly had a bad premonition.

Just then, Yang Zhen moved, and everyone’s hearts tightened as they all turned their attention to him.

Yang Zhen slowly stepped out from behind Elder Qian, sighing and saying, “Alright, things have come to this. Sao Saint has nothing else to say. I will just have to reveal the method. But before that, please allow Sao Saint to do my… I mean, please allow Sao Saint to demonstrate another method I’ve come up with when I was absorbing the Void Power.”

“What?” The three Mahayana Phase powerhouses were all taken aback, looking at Yang Zhen in disbelief.

Especially Lu Qiju, his face filled with shock, he exclaimed, “You’ve realized another method? What kind of method is it?”

Old Ghost Qi was also shocked, murmuring, “Just how talented is this Yang Zhen?”
