Chapter 1303 - Chapter 1303 Chapter 1328 Even Betraying Their Own PeopleChapter 1303: Chapter 1328: Even Betraying Their Own People! Chapter 1303: Chapter 1328: Even Betraying Their Own People! Dust filled the sky, swirling in a tumultuous dance with the dim yellow soil and the chaotic black Demon Qi. Countless dark shadows darted back and forth, but if Yang Zhen and the Nine Dragons Saint wished to hide, how could these people possibly find them?
Secluded within the depths of a grand mountain, within a huge cave that Yang Zhen had somehow produced, the Nine Dragons Saint still hadn’t come to terms with their situation, wearing a dumbfounded expression and asking oddly, “Did we just come in like that?”
“What else did you think?” Yang Zhen curled his lips and said, “If it’s something that can be solved with brains, then don’t use fists. That’s something a great expert from our village once said.”
“That seems to make some sense, but who is this expert from your village?” the Nine Dragons Saint asked, furrowing his brow, earnestly curious.
“Our orphanage director, the director of the orphanage!” Yang Zhen answered solemnly.
A trace of hesitation appeared on the Nine Dragons Saint’s face, he opened his mouth but no words came out.
Yang Zhen grinned and said, “Alright, now we just have to wait here.”
“Just wait here?” the Nine Dragons Saint asked in surprise, “Weren’t we supposed to find the Emperor Tomb?”
Sao Saint was also utterly bewildered, hastily asking, “Yeah kid, we finally make it in and if we don’t go searching for the Emperor Tomb, what’s the point in hanging around here like a bunch of turtles?”
Yang Zhen glared and said, “First off, we didn’t force our way in here. That’s why psychology is such a great thing. You should really take a look when you’ve got the time, even if not with the speed-reading capability of ‘seeing a hundred lines with a single glance’, at least get a general understanding.”
“What do you mean?” the Nine Dragons Saint, already accustomed to Yang Zhen’s manner of speaking, only needed to listen to half, not knowing what psychology was but wanting to understand what Yang Zhen meant by not forcing their way in.
Sao Saint’s eyes gleamed, its focus different from that of the Nine Dragons Saint.
While the Nine Dragons Saint concentrated on the first part of Yang Zhen’s speech, Sao Saint was fixated on the latter, excitement in its voice as it asked, “Kid, what’s this psychology thing? Teach me when you’ve got time, damn, it sounds really powerful.”
Yang Zhen glanced at Sao Saint. There was no rush, so he began to explain, “The more people there are together, the more they need a leader, why is that?”
“To better control these people, of course!” Sao Saint quickly replied, understanding such an elementary principle–even the Nine Dragons Saint knew it.
It was like a sect that couldn’t be without a Sect Master for a single day; otherwise, they would become scattered and easily manipulated by those with ill-intentions.
As for how these people with ill-intentions would manipulate the situation, not many delved into that, as only those with dark intentions would study such things.
A look of realization flashed across Yang Zhen’s face as he winked at the Nine Dragons Saint and Sao Saint, “Being able to better control these people is one aspect, but the most terrifying thing is when these people aren’t united under a leader during a sudden crisis, struggling to discuss and act in time.”
The Nine Dragons Saint’s eyes lit up, he said, “So, they didn’t have time to stop us earlier?”
Yang Zhen nodded, “They hadn’t even figured out what we were doing yet. Who would’ve thought we’d blow up a mountain suddenly and then waltz in here while their attention was diverted?”
Sao Saint took a sharp breath in, looking at Yang Zhen in disbelief, murmuring to itself, “Damn, there’s such a strategy? Doesn’t that mean sometimes more people is actually a disadvantage?”
But that’s not the whole truth. There are advantages to having more people, just as there are advantages to having fewer.
In this world, there’s no such thing as an impassable road, only people who can’t think of a way through, and that’s something Yang Zhen understood from a young age.
Assuming he was all alone, in the vast majority of situations, he needed to think for himself, so as not to be exploited by the wicked, let alone starve.
The Nine Dragons Saint clearly took the thought a step deeper, giving Yang Zhen a meaningful look, he took a deep breath and said, “So what you mentioned about waiting just now, what are we waiting for, could it actually be for those people outside?”
Yang Zhen leaned lazily against the cave wall, nodding as he said, “Yeah, this is also a simple application of psychology. With Demon Lord Shu Ya and the Honorable Chen Xiaotian ordering so many people to guard this place, it’s definitely out of the ordinary. As for what exactly is so unusual about it, I’m afraid only they themselves are clear.”
“How about we find someone to ask?” The Trash Cat suggested eagerly. When it came to coercing confessions, Trash Cat considered only Yang Zhen his superior and had learned quite a bit from him. Although he hadn’t had the chance to put it to use, he felt quite confident.
Seeing the eager expression on Trash Cat’s face, Yang Zhen shook his head and replied, “No need to find someone to ask. After Yang Chen disappears, they will lead us to it themselves.”
“Whoa,” Trash Cat exclaimed, giving Yang Zhen a sidelong glance, “Kid, don’t you think you’re underestimating them a bit too much? We just barged in here, obviously something’s fishy. Why would they lead us to the Emperor Tomb?”
“It might not necessarily be the Emperor Tomb!” Yang Zhen blinked and added, “But they will definitely lead us there. How about a bet?”
“Sure!”
Hearing about making a bet, Trash Cat was intrigued and stared at Yang Zhen, “What’s the wager?”
Yang Zhen grinned and said, “Any cultivation method will do. If you win, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
Trash Cat smirked widely, walked up to Yang Zhen, and slapped him on the shoulder, “Kid, you’re so good to this saint, I’m almost embarrassed. But don’t worry, I won’t be polite.”
Nine Dragons Saint laughed bitterly at the side and commented, “Kid, I don’t think you can win, either.”
Yang Zhen gave Nine Dragons Saint a blank look and responded, “Well, let’s just wait and see.”
Although Trash Cat’s Spirit Soul power was weak, he could still sense some activities outside the mountain.
As the dust in the sky had yet to settle, the demon cultivators continued their unsuccessful search. Even after the dust cleared, they still hadn’t found Yang Zhen and the others. The aura of those demon cultivators became somewhat erratic.
Especially when several powerful demon cultivators gathered together, murmuring something indiscernible.
Sensing this scene, a smile spread across Yang Zhen’s face, while Trash Cat and Nine Dragons Saint both looked utterly clueless.
Just as Nine Dragons Saint was about to speak up, Yang Zhen suddenly sat up straight, and Trash Cat, too, showed a look of surprise, pricking up his ears and gasping sharply.
Two demon cultivators sneaked away from the crowd, circumventing the mountain where Yang Zhen and his companions were, and started heading toward the west side of the mountain.
Trash Cat’s face was filled with confusion as he dumbly asked, “Those two, could they be off to relieve themselves?”
“Relieve yourself, my foot. Let’s go, time to hustle!” Yang Zhen slapped Trash Cat’s shoulder, stood up, dusted himself off, and took the lead in pursuing the two.
As Yang Zhen walked, the stones and mountains around him vanished without a trace, leaving Nine Dragons Saint astonished in his wake.
However, the greater astonishment was how Yang Zhen knew for sure that these people would check on the place they were guarding?
After a while, Trash Cat suddenly exclaimed, “Crap, not good, we’ve been had. Damn it, kid, you’re so underhanded, even tricking your own people?”
Yang Zhen smirked and replied, “We’re idle anyway. Besides, don’t think this Sao Saint doesn’t know how many good things you’re hiding in that thick skull of yours. Bringing some cultivation methods out won’t hurt. Even if this Sao Saint doesn’t use them, the people at the Tri-Floral Sanctuary can make good use of them, so stop being so stingy.”
“Damn you!”
Trash Cat glared and said, “I bring out cultivation methods and end up being called stingy? Stand still, kid, I’m going to punch your head in!”
“Quit the chit-chat, hurry up and follow. This Sao Saint has a feeling that we’re going to be in for one hell of a ride soon.”
