Chapter 765: Chapter 771: I’ve never backed down! (1/10)

Yang Zhen’s attitude took everyone by surprise.

Everyone, who had been expecting a massive fight, was somewhat disappointed when it didn’t happen.

“So, Yang Zhen, the scoundrel, does have people he dares not offend. When dealing with Lin Haotian, he actually showed such cowardice?”

“Fellow Daoist, you must be new to this continent, you don’t know. Lin Haotian is highly regarded in the Western Regions. Not only among the younger generation, but many seniors dare not offend him casually either. Setting aside the fact that his master is the renowned Senior Yue Qian of the Western Regions, even the power backing him, even Yaochi Holy Land has to give him some respect. With such a status, who would dare offend him lightly?”

“No wonder he’s so arrogant, he acts as if he doesn’t consider anyone in the world worthy of his attention.”

“You think Lin Haotian’s arrogance is due to his master and the power behind him?”

...

“Isn’t it?”

“Of course not. Lin Haotian’s talent is unparalleled in the whole Western Region. There have been rumors that Lin Haotian is the most likely among the younger generation in the Western Region to reach the Saint Realm before turning thirty.”

“What? How is that possible?”

“This was personally stated by Senior Yue Qian, will you still not believe it?”

…

Everyone was dumbfounded by Yang Zhen’s behavior. While laughing, their fear of Lin Haotian deepened.

A powerful backing, a strong master, an extraordinary talent, strong cultivation and realm, a person like this was almost flawless.

Moreover, many people were sympathetic to Yang Zhen. After all, Lin Haotian was not someone ordinary individuals, or even out-of-the-ordinary ones, could afford to offend. To offend Lin Haotian was to risk ending up with a lifelong psychological shadow.

As Lin Haotian was walking towards Mount Sumeru, under the gaze of everyone, Yang Zhen also followed Lin Haotian towards Mount Sumeru.

Seeing this, a group of the Celestial Chosen hurriedly followed.

Little Witch Mo Shuiyan approached Yang Zhen and whispered, “Yang Zhen, don’t do anything rash.”

Yang Zhen looked at Mo Shuiyan with an innocent expression, before he could speak, Lin Haotian suddenly stopped.

Mo Shuiyan let out a low gasp and looked at Lin Haotian with surprise, unsure about what he intended to do, her face showing a trace of suspicion.

Yang Zhen’s expression remained unchanged, with a bright smile on his face, like a fervent follower.

Just as everyone was confused and alertly watching Lin Haotian, he suddenly smiled, saying, “You guys don’t need to be nervous, as I’ve said before, I won’t make a move under the public eye.”

At this point, Lin Haotian pointed at the sky, “And, it seems like you’ve misunderstood. When I said ‘under the public eye,’ I’m not talking about you guys, but the seniors of Yaochi Holy Land, and those from other continents, who are watching us.”

Hearing Lin Haotian’s words, everyone was stunned, only then remembering the Sky Observing Mirror of Yaochi Holy Land floating in the sky at Eagle Fall Cliff.

After entering Eagle Fall Cliff, most of them had already forgotten the feeling of being watched by the Sky Observing Mirror. After all, the function of the Sky Observing Mirror was limited, it was not possible for it to observe all the Celestial Chosen thoroughly. No one knew if they were the ones being observed, even after entering Eagle Fall Cliff, it was very likely that the Sky Observing Mirror had never observed any of them.

Under such a mindset, everyone had almost forgotten about the Sky Observing Mirror.

Now that Lin Haotian mentioned the Sky Observing Mirror, they all remembered. Even Lin Haotian himself had come to Eagle Fall Cliff, the Sky Observing Mirror of Yaochi Holy Land was probably all focused on him.

This meant that almost everyone on the scene was under the observation of the Sky Observing Mirror.

In an instant, many people began to rethink their strategies.

Most people understood that with Lin Haotian’s presence, at least nine or nine and a half of ten individuals could not compete with his brilliance. However, this Yaochi Holy Land examination was not a test for only Lin Haotian; even if the rest of them couldn’t perform as well as Lin Haotian, they could still get recognized as long as they performed a little better.

As the crowd thought of this, their fear of Lin Haotian lightened a bit.

After all, Lin Haotian was right, under the scrutinizing eyes of Yaochi Holy Land and the seniors from other continents, he couldn’t casually injure or kill people.

While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their glances towards Yang Zhen were filled with pity.

Who was there left who didn’t understand the situation at hand?

The reason Lin Haotian didn’t kill Yang Zhen right away wasn’t that he had no intention to kill Yang Zhen. If Lin Haotian truly wanted to kill Yang Zhen, even if faced with the elders from Yaochi Holy Land and other continents, what could Yang Zhen do?

Even if Lin Haotian killed Yang Zhen in front of everyone, Yang Zhen would simply die, a pointless death. Who would blame Lin Haotian over a backgroundless Yang Zhen?

The reason Lin Haotian didn’t kill Yang Zhen was probably to ruin Yang Zhen’s reputation, a genius standing out among the chosen ones, and destroy his dignity.

One can imagine how unbearable it was for Yang Zhen under such a shadow cast by Lin Haotian.

Such a malicious intent!

But that was the reality. Nobody could do anything to Lin Haotian, not even Yang Zhen.

Even Yaochi Holy Land wouldn’t treat Yang Zhen preferentially in this test. They would only try their best not to dishearten everyone.

Yang Zhen… was very pitiable!

While watching, the crowd’s glance towards Yang Zhen became somewhat sympathetic. Even Yue Yazi and Luo Guangcheng, who had always been at odds with Yang Zhen, fell silent and looked at Yang Zhen, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Only Yang Zhen was still foolishly following Lin Haotian, seeming to want to learn something from him.

A saddened expression flashed across Yunla’s face. Joining his hands in prayer, uttering Buddha’s name, he looked at Yang Zhen with an unbearable expression. He wanted to warn him, but he didn’t know what to say. All he could do was stand close to Yang Zhen, ready to help if Lin Haotian intended to kill him.

Wu Tao and Mo Shuiyan were more decisive. They directly cast their spirit treasures, keeping a close watch on Lin Haotian, observing every single move of his.

Lin Haotian was naturally aware of the changes behind him, but he didn’t care much. An ambiguous smile hung on his face, clearly not putting much importance on Yang Zhen. He became the center of attention regardless.

There were numerous geographical changes in Eagle Fall Cliff. With the course of time, even Mount Sumeru may not appear at the same place every time. In fact, Mount Sumeru was the place where the Heavenly Star Stele’s stars fell.

To find the shadow of Mount Sumeru, apart from the bloodline of the Third Saintess and the Sumeru Seal of Yaochi Holy Land, only the minor method created by Yang Zhen could be used.

But now, Lin Haotian had come with the Sumeru Seal. This tool for finding the starlight of the Heavenly Star Stele was more accurate than the method Yang Zhen calculated, which made others forget about his minor method for a while.

In front of the Sumeru Seal, Yang Zhen’s minor method seemed like a joke.

Yang Zhen’s silhouette looked rather pitiable.

Wu Tao walked to Yang Zhen, bit her lip, and whispered, “Don’t worry, Yang Zhen, I won’t just watch you get killed.”

Yang Zhen turned around, looked at Wu Tao’s stubborn face, rubbed her hair, and said, “Don’t worry, my little girl. I, Sao Saint, am not that easy to kill.”

When Wu Tao lifted her face and saw Yang Zhen, a radiant smile spread across her face.

Hum!

A soft humming sound echoed. Lin Haotian, who was walking at the front, suddenly moved, as if he entered a special atmosphere.

The surrounding air became misty. It was clear that the mountain they were about to climb was the legendary Mount Sumeru.

Everyone’s mind stirred, and they curiously looked at the peak of the mountain.

Yang Zhen squinted his eyes, looked at Lin Haotian’s back, and showed a playful smile.

Competing over talent? He’d never backed down from that. And as for strength?

Even Yang Zhen himself didn’t know how strong he was!
