Yang Zhen decided, the first to strike has the strength!
No matter if this Death Servant belonged to the Moro Palace or the Moluo Sect, the fact that they'd been following him all this way meant they definitely held ill will, if not seeking revenge on Yang Zhen, then likely planning to tamper with the Heavenly Machine Lock.
Regardless of their objectives, Yang Zhen found it hard to bear. Moreover, he understood, these people were most likely targeting him.
While accompanying Gong Sanhe and the others into the canyon, Yang Zhen subtly scattered numerous array plates on the ground. These plates were forged when Yang Zhen's cultivation was fairly low, along with some looted ones. Until now, they hadn't seen any use.
Suppressing his cultivation didn't imply that Yang Zhen was squandering his time at a low level, actually his realm had always been considerably higher than practitioners of the same level, even exceeding practitioners of two or three cultivation stages above him.
