Chapter 63

I understand.

The Yaochi Holy Maiden stood rooted to the spot, her heart filled with shock; even she, who usually looked down on worldly affairs, could not help but be startled by this.

What exactly did Yang Zhu say to him that would cause the Yaochi Holy Maiden to treat him this way?

She lightly shook her head, casting the thought aside; this was not something she needed to know, she only had to follow orders.

He asked the Queen Mother of the West for a few items, needing several days to prepare, so he temporarily stayed in the Guanghan Palace.

……

Chaoyang City.

For several days straight, the Ji family failed to capture Ye Fan and the others, finally growing restless.

Soon after, even Ji Haoyue, the Ji family's divine body, personally came to this city, declaring that those who provoked the ancient aristocratic families would pay the price.

The divine body of the Eastern Wasteland has arrived; things have really blown up now.

I've heard that among the contemporary heavenly pride, there are few who can be his match!

Do you think he will become the strongest of the younger generation in the Eastern Wasteland?

The might of the Ji family's divine body is plain for all to see; many believe Ji Haoyue has no rival in the Eastern Wasteland.

I don't think so; the Holy Child of Yao Guang is astonishingly talented, and I heard he recently broke through again—his divine body may not be his match.

Indeed, Hua Yunfei of the Supreme Mystery Sect is formidable; rumors say they have clashed in private, though the outcome is unknown.

Some hold a different view, believing that Yao Guang, Ye Fan, and the others are also extremely powerful, and the divine body may not necessarily have the upper hand.

Have you forgotten the Holy Body Dao Embryo? He made quite a name for himself in the Southern Ridge!

Indeed, that's true—Yang Zhu is even more formidable than the Holy Body Ye Fan!

Upon hearing that, everyone snapped to their senses, continually sighing that this truly is a golden age, with various divine bodies and heavenly pride emerging together, leaving people breathless.

One ancient holy body is already a headache, and now a Holy Body Dao Embryo has appeared—it's almost enough to cut off the path to proving the Dao.

Since you dared to kill my Ji family disciples, why won't you show your face? Are you timid, only capable of fleeing like a rat?

That day, the divine body of the Eastern Wasteland made a boast in Chaoyang City, saying Yang Zhu and Ye Fan were not worthy opponents to face him head-on, not amounting to anything! 'The Eastern Wasteland divine body is indeed overbearing, daring to call out the youth who struck and the Holy Body Ye Fan.'

Those who heard it were all shocked by the Eastern Wasteland divine body's arrogance, lamenting that it truly lives up to being the Ji family's divine body, indeed possessing the capital to be haughty.

Damn it, belittling Ye Fan is one thing, but you dare to bark at Yang Zhu like a dog—I'll beat the shit out of you!

You dead dog, how dare you speak like that?

In a certain outskirts, when Heihuang heard Ji Haoyue's harsh words, his fur stood on end from anger.

That afternoon, at the city nearest to Chaoyang City, the big black dog also let out a boast.

What a load of crap, Eastern Wasteland divine body—I, the emperor, will tell you plainly: the one who will suppress and kill you is the Holy Body Dao Embryo; if you have the guts, come and die!

Having said that, the three of them fled immediately, and before long appeared in another city.

Ji family trash, if you dare to fight, I'll beat the shit out of you!

Heihuang fears no one, and when he humiliates, he has no shame at all.

After saying that, several people vanished once again.

When the news spread, not only Quzhou but even the Eastern Wasteland boiled over!

What? The one who suppressed and killed the disciples of the ancient aristocratic families is actually the Holy Body Dao Embryo?!

We were just saying who could be stronger than the Holy Body Ye Fan; if it's Yang Zhu, that's no surprise!

Isn't Yang Zhu in the Southern Ridge? How did he suddenly return to the Eastern Wasteland?

One is the Eastern Wasteland divine body, an immensely powerful existence from ancient times to the present; the other is the Holy Body Dao Embryo, appearing for the first time in history. (Note: Only very few know of the Primordial Chaos Body, so my statement is correct; I'm explaining this to avoid objections.) If they were to collide, what kind of sparks would fly?

Just thinking about it makes the blood boil!

Under such scrutiny, Ji Haoyue cannot shirk responsibility; if he were to back down, how would the world view him and his Ji family? 'No matter who, none can provoke the dignity of the ancient aristocratic families; if Yang Zhu dares to come, I dare to fight!'

Ji Haoyue is quite domineering, declaring that even the Holy Body Dao Embryo would not frighten him in the slightest.

The reputation of the Eastern Wasteland divine body is well deserved!

Are the two heavenly prodigies really going to clash? I can't wait!

When the news came out, the Northern Region shook, and for a time it was spread far and wide.

Everyone knows divine bodies are formidable; only Ji Haoyue knows how great his pressure is.

The last time they met at the Supreme Mystery Sect, the phenomenon he prided himself on occurred then; it was his first defeat, and a thorough one at that.

From that day on, he has deeply feared Yang Zhu, even more than Yao Guang Ye Fan and the others.

Yet Ji Haoyue also has his own pride; he does not consider himself weak compared to anyone! 'You dead dog, are you not harming Yang Zhu?'

Tu Fei did not understand; in his view, this was undoubtedly pushing Yang Zhu into a pit of fire.

What do you know? A mere Ji Haoyue is no match for him—at most he could only scratch an itch.

Heihuang's tone was extremely arrogant, but upon reflection, the situation really is like that.

No matter how strong Ji Haoyue is, if he faces Yang Zhu, there is only one outcome: defeat! Looking at the Ji family, only the unborn Ji Zi could truly be a match for Yang Zhu.

The news quickly spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland, startling many forces, including several major holy lands and the ancient aristocratic families.

Yang Zhu also heard of this that day, and he did not blame the black dog, because when they parted, he had said that if he ran into trouble, he should just spread the word.

Are you going to provoke the Ji family's divine body?" the Yaochi Holy Maiden asked.

Why not? It's just a matter of convenience.

A beating would make him honest; better than going to the Starry Sky Road later and getting beaten into autism.

In three days, I will head to Chaoyang City.

Yang Zhu responded that very day; having been in the world for some time, he saw no need to stay low-key—when it's time to fight, fight!

Has the Holy Body Dao Embryo really responded? I originally thought he was still in the Southern Ridge, but it turns out the black dog was telling the truth.

Only a handful thought Yang Zhu was still in the Southern Ridge; this was merely the black dog's scheme to muddy the waters, and only after Yang Zhu made his response did they have to believe it.

In a moment, the Eastern Wasteland was awash with surging winds and clouds.

The forces that got this news dispatched many experts overnight to Quzhou, all eager to witness the clash of the two peerless geniuses—a rare sight.

"You say Yang Zhu is really that strong?"

"Absolutely extremely strong; even Ye Fan alone can tell a thing or two."

The Holy Son of Yaoguang and the Holy Maiden went together, they communicated, and on this trip they also wanted to witness Yang Zhu's strength.

As for Ji Haoyue, they have had some contact, and regarding Yang Zhu they can be said to be both wary and curious.

"Ji Haoyue is really clueless, how did he end up in a conflict with him?"

Huang Yunfei also rushed from Taixuan Sect; he raises his realm by devouring the origin, and he is quite aware of the might of the Sacred Body Dao-fetus.

"Brother Yang Zhu, how sure are you of winning against the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body?"

Even the usually low-key Jiang Yi Fei, upon hearing the news, left the Jiang family and rushed to Chaoyang City.
