Seeing Shu Ya's figure, Yang Zhen was startled.
On his journey, he had bullied quite a few Demon Cultivators, breached several of their strongholds, and some even multiple times.
But he had no choice; their strongholds were so invitingly vulnerable that fighting became inevitable. Wasn't Yang Zhen tired?
Yang Zhen was indeed tired, which is why he felt he was the victim here, having wasted a lot of True Essence and energy. It was already generous of him not to charge them for mental anguish and lost wages.
As for the real Demon Cultivator experts, that big bird brother seemed to count as one, but it wasn't quite bullying. The bird even tricked him with an ambiguous secret, seemingly intent on frustrating Yang Zhen for a while.
Never had Yang Zhen expected that the one who saved the group from White Cloud Mountain would be old Shu Ya.
