Chapter 140: I Want to Slay a Saint
The Liu family base was raided once again.
Although the spoils were not as astonishing as the first time, there were still plenty of valuable gains.
Even with many onlookers watching from the sidelines, no one dared to intervene.
They could only watch helplessly as their belongings were plundered.
Then, the Liu family base was set ablaze, reduced to nothing but smoldering ruins.
Zhang Yang and his group left in grand fashion.
At that moment, in Mo City, their power was unrivaled—far surpassing any other force.
After all, all the Great Boundless had been wiped out in one fell swoop.
In this battle, Zhang Yang had slain twenty Great Boundless cultivators.
This would not just shake the Southern Region—it would send shockwaves far beyond, even rippling into the outside world.
At first, many had doubted the scale of the massacre.
But once Qiu Yinong returned to the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land through the ancient teleportation array, her grief and fury confirmed the truth.
At that moment—
The Southern Region fell into an eerie silence.
No one knew what kind of storm was about to unfold.
No one knew how the Daxia royal family, the Liu family, or the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land would react.
But one thing was certain—
The air was thick with suffocating tension.
While the world trembled in silence, Zhang Yang and his allies rejoiced in the underground secret chamber.
Not only did Liu Feikong’s storage bag contain countless treasures—
It also held…
Phoenix Bones!
Zhang Yang immediately tossed the other treasures to the female bandit, Yuluan, for sorting before setting off to find Saint Liao Qingshan, clutching the Phoenix Bones in his hands.
In front of a serene bamboo grove,
Outside a cozy thatched cottage,
Liao Qingshan lay on a recliner, basking in the warm sunlight.
Nearby, Jia Tianhao practiced diligently. He had already consumed the Six-Turn Golden Pill, successfully breaking through to the Small Boundless realm.
"Saint’s Paper?"
Liao Qingshan opened his eyes and, with just one sentence, revealed the core secret.
Zhang Yang sighed. "Master Liao, witnessing your abilities firsthand is truly impressive."
He was amazed by the Saint’s perception.
Despite his own keen senses, he hadn’t realized that Liao Qingshan had been watching the entire city all along.
"The Trapped Dragon Pavilion was breached, all the Great Boundless cultivators were defeated with a single strike, and you emerged unharmed. The only explanation is the Saint’s Paper," Liao Qingshan deduced. "You’ve come to see me for a reason—surely you’re not just here to show off your cleverness this time?"
Zhang Yang smiled playfully. "Just a little."
Liao Qingshan nodded and said, "Even I must admit, your performance this time was beyond expectations—truly remarkable. However, the established power structure has been in place for centuries, and challenging Saint-level forces is no easy feat. Those born into privilege have long believed themselves to be superior, expecting others to fear them. This arrogance blinds them to the fundamental truth of martial arts: even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit."
"This will be your last easy victory. From now on, no one will underestimate you. If they want to kill you, they will use any means necessary, regardless of status, with the sole objective of eliminating you."
Zhang Yang listened intently, humbling himself before the wisdom of the Saint.
He knew Liao Qingshan was right—their enemies had been too arrogant and careless this time, trapped by their own habits.
Now that the lesson had been learned, there would never be another such opportunity.
Liao Qingshan delved into the details of the battle, pointing out various critical issues that broadened Zhang Yang’s perspective. The two, one old and one young, engaged in a lively discussion.
Just then, Jia Tianhao awoke from his cultivation.
Upon seeing Zhang Yang, he immediately sprang to his feet, pointed at his mouth, and bowed repeatedly—almost kneeling in desperation.
Zhang Yang chuckled. "Three days—not a day less. You’ll have to endure it."
Jia Tianhao scratched his head in frustration.
Zhang Yang continued, "You’ve done well. I’ll remove you from the Giant Guard and allow you to establish the Gathering Talents Pavilion. Use your chatterbox skills to recruit talents from all corners. From now on, you won’t have the luxury of staying silent."
Hearing this, Jia Tianhao’s eyes lit up in excitement.
Finally, Zhang Yang produced the Phoenix Bones.
This time, it was Liao Qingshan’s turn to be astonished.
An invisible Holy Might radiated from him, and the overjoyed Jia Tianhao collapsed onto the ground, overwhelmed by the pressure.
Liao Qingshan examined the Phoenix Bones twice before declaring,
"These are the bones of a phoenix, and they are of the highest quality—imbued with powerful phoenix characteristics. They could almost be called half-phoenix."
"Will this suffice for Elder Liao’s needs?" Zhang Yang asked.
Liao Qingshan nodded.
Zhang Yang was elated.
Jia Tianhao was equally thrilled.
"I must go into seclusion."
Liao Qingshan could no longer contain his excitement.
After years of nursing his path injury, he was finally ready to recover.
Having been betrayed by his closest life-and-death brother, Liao Qingshan was exceedingly cautious. He chose not to enter seclusion here but instead left for an undisclosed location, promising to return in five days.
Jia Tianhao remained behind to oversee the place.
Zhang Yang returned home, eager to share the good news with his allies.
The Vast Forest finally had a Saint—a development of immense significance.
The following evening, Lou Pingfan hurriedly returned.
Upon seeing Zhang Yang, he dropped to one knee and solemnly declared,
"I, Lou Pingfan, swear by my life that from this day forward, my life belongs to Young Master Zhang."
Zhang Yang helped him to his feet.
Lou Pingfan handed him a piece of Phoenix Bone, then immediately rushed to the next room.
He could barely contain his anticipation—he was eager to exact his long-awaited revenge on Liu Feikong.
That night, the air was filled with Liu Feikong’s agonized screams.
By dawn, he was dead—tortured to death by Lou Pingfan’s relentless fury.
Afterward, Lou Pingfan wept openly.
Years of endurance, sleepless nights, and suppressed hatred had finally come to an end.
His wife and daughter had been avenged.
According to the plan he had discussed with Zhang Yang and Xue Feishuang, Lou Pingfan would remain undercover within the Liu family.
After the recent upheaval, his standing in the Liu family had risen significantly. Among the outsiders, only a few could rival his position. His role within the Liu family was now crucial.
He accepted this mission without hesitation and departed that very night, unwilling to linger any longer.
Because at this moment—
The Liu family was planning to kill Zhang Yang.
Lou Pingfan intended to be involved, aiming to uncover their exact plan in advance.
The entire Liu family was in an uproar.
He Zhi and the other family elders were seething with fury.
Even a reclusive old Saint of the Liu family had voiced his concerns.
A storm was on the horizon.
The intelligence Lou Pingfan had gathered confirmed that both the Daxia royal family and the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land were now involved.
His warning to Zhang Yang was clear—
"Leave immediately."
Even Yi Ren Zui took the initiative to approach Zhang Yang, gravely warning him to leave immediately or face dire consequences.
The Moonview Tower had received unsettling news—the Liu family was planning to deploy formidable forces, sparing no expense to eliminate him.
Naturally, Zhang Yang refused to leave.
Liao Qingshan was about to emerge from seclusion, and with a saint by his side, what was there to fear?
His defiant stance infuriated even Yi Ren Zui.
Three days later, shocking news arrived.
Saint Liu Yinhua of the Liu family was coming to Mo City.
This move shook the entire Southern Region.
To kill Zhang Yang, they had actually mobilized a saint.
Regardless of whatever explanations or excuses the Liu family offered—whether they claimed Liu Yinhua was merely passing through on urgent business—everyone knew the truth.
His sole purpose was to kill Zhang Yang.
With a saint personally taking action, even the Daxia royal family and the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land temporarily halted their plans.
It was a mark of respect.
Otherwise, would they dare to doubt the abilities of a saint?
As soon as she heard the news, Yi Ren Zui rushed over again to warn Zhang Yang in advance.
When he still refused to leave, she was left utterly speechless—at a complete loss for words.
Now that a saint was involved, she no longer dared to contact him.
This was Moonview Tower’s stance.
On the day Saint Liu Yinhua was set to arrive in Mo City, the city fell into an unprecedented silence.
All major forces quietly retreated.
It was rare to see anyone carrying swords or knives in the streets.
Fear had taken hold of Mo City.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang summoned Lou Pingfan back.
"Old Lou, I have an idea."
Lou Pingfan came and went swiftly, showing no hesitation.
"Young Master Zhang, please give your orders."
Zhang Yang smiled and declared—
"I want… to slay a saint!"
