Chapter 556: Chapter 563: Yang Zhen, You Devil! (Fifth Update)

What?

What on earth were Yang Zhen and that damned cat talking about?

A crowd of people with strange expressions stared at a terrified Guo Jing. What could a mouse gnawing on a golden needle mushroom possibly mean that it had terrified Guo Jing, someone who was practically fearless in facing death, into such a wretched state?

Seeing Guo Jing terrified to such an extent, both Yang Zhen and the contemptible cat gained even more interest. They discussed the matter energetically, whispering with unnaturally loud voices. It was unclear if it was intentional, but everyone present heard them.

“Motherfucker, lad, I still think that smearing Sky Snow Honey on one’s privates is the best way. Those gold-consuming rats would surely find it more enjoyable to gnaw.”

“Bloody hell, how can you be so cruel? That’s the root of man’s life! Once the gold-consuming rat bites it, wouldn’t it be like biting the dust?”

“Then you say what to do if we don’t smear it with Sky Snow Honey, what if the Gold-consuming rat bites the thigh? Oh damn, what if it bites the balls, wouldn’t that be even more painful?”

…

Listening to Yang Zhen and the loathsome cat’s discussion, everyone present experienced feelings of utter terror. All looked pale, staring at Yang Zhen and the damned cat as if they were looking at two devils. Especially the men present, most of them started to shake.

It was so dreadful to even think about it. Those gold-eating rats were beyond horrifying, much far terrifying than any gold-devouring ant. They would bite right through anything, irrespective of it being flesh or even harder substances.

It was terrifying to think that Yang Zhen and the damned cat could come up with such a malicious punishment. Not to mention Guo Jing, even the bravest of the brave would find it unbearable. A punishment that would make the person wish to die than live.

Indeed, with a crazed roar, Guo Jing pointed at Yang Zhen and shouted, “Devil, Yang Zhen you devil, you think you can subdue me like this, I am telling you, this is simply impossible.”

Listening to Guo Jing’s speech, all people present couldn’t help but admire his grit, especially the brave men present, all utterly astonished.

“Son of a bitch, he can really bear the torture, Guo Jing man is a real man.”

“Even a real man can’t do anything in this situation. I feel that Yang Zhen can really do this.”

Hearing these words, Guo Jing trembled all over. He gazed at Yang Zhen with an unyielding expression, choosing to die rather than yield.

But to Guo Jing’s disappointment, Yang Zhen seemed to pay no heed to whether he yielded or not. Yang Zhen was claiming to surprise and there came more murmuring between him and the damned cat.

The damned cat’s eyes grew larger and larger, “What are you saying? No, no, applying heated metal rods and Lingchi, these cruel methods, how can you even utter them! The torture of Lingchi means to cut the flesh piece by piece resulting in something much more painful than death. Mouse gnawing at a golden needle mushroom, I tend towards this one. You can’t do these inhumane things, lad. The mouse gnawing is relatively better.”

“So, it will be the mouse gnawing the golden needle mushroom?” Yang Zhen blinked his eyes, “Or why not do both the ant moving house and mouse gnawing the golden needle mushroom together? It may be more varied that way.”

He peed himself!

Guo Jing had actually pissed himself!

Shit! Yang Zhen and the damned cat were the evilest devils in the world! These atrocities like applying heated metal rods or Lingchi, made everyone stare at them in utter shock, especially Lingchi which was explained by that damned cat.

Imagining himself having his flesh cut piece by piece, would Guo Jing even die with his cultivation skills until his bones are only left?

Would not! It’s worse than death itself.

Guo Jing peed and he cried as well, stared at Yang Zhen, barking in grief and outrage, “Yang Zhen, you won’t have a good death!”

Whoever heard it, would cry or feel devastatingly sad, even Yang Zhen himself, who had a strange face looking at Guo Jing.

A brave man of integrity not only publicly peed himself in front of girls and boys, old men and women of the city but also burst such furious words out. It was similar to the scene of an absolutely naked woman being cornered by a group of men.

What Yang Zhen saw left him in awe and confusion. All he wanted was to scare Guo Jing. How heartless did the people who had created such torturous sceneries with ants moving nests and mice nibbling golden mushrooms have to be?

Such a sin.

Yang Zhen approached Guo Jing, then stepped back two paces out of caution. He sighed and said, “Even if you are silent, I, Sao Saint, know who manipulated you against me. Considering Fang Zhongjian’s cunning, I am sure he knew you guys from Mountain and River City couldn’t kill me. So, what mission did he give you?”

At this, Yang Zhen looked at the ghastly pale Guo Jing, not waiting for him to reply. He continued, “Since everyone knows that Mountain and River City can’t kill me, Sao Saint, let me take a guess. Fang Zhongjian just wanted you to frame me, right? He just wanted to disgust me, isn’t it?”

Guo Jing collapsed to the ground with a thump and looked dazedly at Yang Zhen. Clearly, Yang Zhen’s last sentence was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Guo Jing.

Staring blankly at Yang Zhen, Guo Jing mustered in disbelief, “You demon…you’re a demon… If you knew everything, why did you torture me like this?”

Yang Zhen smirked, “From the beginning to the end, all I did was pat your shoulder once, and you call that torture?”

Interrupting Guo Jing, Yang Zhen revealed a playful smile and said gleamingly, “If I, Sao Saint, wanted to torture you, there are a hundred ways I could make you unable to stay in Mountain and River City. Do you believe me? Actually, few people know that Sao Saint also has another name, Yang Liangchen!”

Guo Jing opened his mouth, but didn’t manage to say anything.

The crowd stared in shock, exchanging glances. No one could have guessed that Yang Zhen had known the answer all along and still managed to make Guo Jing, who considered himself dead anyway, confess on his own accord.

This Yang Zhen was certainly terrifying and despicable in equal measure.

All practitioners in Yang Zhen’s vicinity instinctively retreated, distancing themselves from him, afraid that his vile aura could harm them.

Feng Jingtu, who was silently fuming beside them, snorted coldly and approached Guo Jing, lifting him with one hand. He said sternly, “We, Feng Family, treated you kindly, but you plotted against us like this. Spill out everything you know. If you hide even the slightest bit of information, your entire family will face the same severe punishment as you.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing’s face turned ashen.

However, Feng Jingtu did not immediately give Guo Jing a chance to confess but turned towards Yang Zhen instead. “Daoist Yang, we will give you a satisfactory explanation for this misunderstanding. You mentioned earlier that my little sister is not dead, is that true?”

Looking at Feng Jingtu’s hopeful yet worried expression, Yang Zhen sighed. “Of course, she isn’t dead. Not only is she alive and well, but as long as I, Sao Saint, proceed as promised to Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, Feng Lingqiao will not die.”

“What?” Feng Jingtu exclaimed in joy, then furrowed his brows, “What do you mean by that, Daoist Yang? Is my little sister in the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain now? How…why would she go there?”

Yang Zhen glanced at the confused Guo Jing and it was clear that Guo Jing was also in the dark about this. Apparently Fang Zhongjian had chosen not to tell him, maybe fearing treason and retaliation.

Thinking about this, Yang Zhen smirked at Guo Jing and said, “In order to coerce me, Sao Saint, to go to Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, Fang Zhongjian kidnapped Feng Lingqiao. What do you think about her chances of survival now?”

“No, that’s impossible!” A shocked Guo Jing shook his head in disbelief, looking at Yang Zhen and roaring, “You’re lying! You must have killed Junior Sister Feng. Your underlying motive is to make the Feng Family oppose Heavenly Snow Holy Domain. That’s impossible. The Feng Family cannot compete with the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain!”

Yang Zhen shook his head, “In fact, it’s not about opposing Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, but Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, depending on whether you have the courage to do so.”

Feng Jingtu burst out laughing and said, “Whether it’s Heavenly Snow Holy Domain or Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, if they dare to kidnap my little sister, I, Feng Jingtu, will dare to lead an attack on them!”

“No, you can’t do this!” A terrified Guo Jing cautioned Feng Jingtu, his face pale as paper.

Feng Jingtu snorted coldly and ordered, “Take this man away, I will personally cripple his cultivation!”

Then, ignoring Guo Jing who had collapsed on the ground once again, Feng Jingtu apologized to Yang Zhen with a solemn expression. “Daoist Yang, I apologize for such a mess. I hope you won’t hold it against us. Rest assured, as soon as my father recovers, I will accompany you to Heavenly Snow Holy Domain to see what’s so great about that place.”

Yang Zhen laughed, “Being framed is just a minor event. In fact, I, Sao Saint, haven’t had enough fun yet. Guo Jing is just too fragile. Moreover, my main reason for coming to Mountain and River City this time was to fulfill my promise to Miss Feng to save her grandfather’s life.”

“What?” Feng Jingtu was jolted, looking at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
