Chapter 698 Occupying
Chen Yang never expected Zhou Zeyao to bring this up.
When Chen Yang entered the Sumeru Mustard Space, Zhou Zeyao should have been unconscious.
As for the disciple Zhou Zeyao mentioned, Chen Yang had already guessed who it was.
"You mean Hu Feng? She is your disciple?"
Zhou Zeyao said slowly, "Of course, Hu Feng was the first person to enter my Tree Tomb, and she is my successor."
"The other person you took away has nothing to do with me, but you took away my successor, so you need to give me an explanation."
As soon as the words "Tree Tomb" appeared, Chen Yang fell into deep thought.
More and more clues made Chen Yang realize something very important: this Zhou Zeyao in front of him was probably not the Zhou Zeyao he thought he was.
Chen Yang was very sure that Zhou Zeyao had died before his eyes.
Most importantly, the mask Zhou Zeyao mentioned when they first entered the room.
Everyone wore masks!
"Who are you? You are not Zhou Zeyao!"
Seeing that Chen Yang had finally reacted, Zhou Zeyao laughed and said, "You are not stupid, but who am I?"
Zhou Zeyao seemed to be asking himself, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Of course I am Zhou Zeyao! I inherited his memories, so I am him!"
The firmness in Zhou Zeyao's eyes made Chen Yang fall into doubt.
This guy had occupied Zhou Zeyao's body, but had his memories merged with Zhou Zeyao's?
Chen Yang did not continue to ask about this matter, and seemed to bring up another doubt.
"Hu Feng entered the Tree Tomb space you mentioned a few years ago, and she told me that when she discovered that place, there was no one inside."
"You claim to be the master of the Tree Tomb, what evidence do you have?"
"In my opinion, even Hu Feng is more qualified than you to claim to be the master of the Tree Tomb."
These two sentences from Chen Yang immediately angered Zhou Zeyao.
Although Zhou Zeyao's memory was a bit chaotic now, his mind was not dull.
That place was the tomb of his predecessor, and the residual spiritual power of his predecessor merged with Zhou Zeyao's body to form him, so he was naturally the master of the tomb.
At this moment, a coldness appeared on Zhou Zeyao's face, and his eyes were like ten thousand years of ice.
A chilling aura instantly spread to every corner of the room.
Chen Yang naturally noticed Zhou Zeyao's change immediately, and Zhou Zeyao's aura also became extremely ancient.
However, all of this happened in an instant.
After recovering, Zhou Zeyao stared at Chen Yang and said word by word, "Nonsense! Of course I am the master of the Tree Tomb. To build the Tree Tomb, I spent countless rare treasures. You, on the other hand, directly absorbed half of the chaotic power. If you had absorbed more, the Tree Tomb would have collapsed directly!"
Chen Yang's mouth twitched. He had a general understanding of this person's identity.
Tree Tomb was the name for a tomb, and it was likely that the master of the Tree Tomb's powerful spiritual power remained after death and eventually merged with Zhou Zeyao.
After figuring all this out, Chen Yang felt a little nervous.
He didn't know when the Tree Tomb was built, and he didn't know how powerful the master of the Tree Tomb was in his lifetime.
The residual power after death could forcibly occupy a body. Chen Yang found it terrifying to think about.
This was not the power of a Gu worm, but true power occupation!
What was more important was that the mental state of the person in front of him did not seem very stable.
"What kind of compensation do you want? The chaotic power has been absorbed by me and has completely merged with my inner energy. I can't just spit it out for you, can I?"
Zhou Zeyao was slightly stunned by this. Deep down in Zhou Zeyao's heart, there had always been a voice reminding him that the power Chen Yang had absorbed originally belonged to him.
This was why Zhou Zeyao asked about compensation when he saw Chen Yang.
But how to compensate him...
In fact, Zhou Zeyao himself was not very clear.
"How about this, when it doesn't conflict with my interests, I can do one thing for you. What do you think?"
"I am the hall master of the Heavenly Doctor Hall. Since you have merged with Zhou Zeyao's memories, you must know the power of the Heavenly Doctor Hall. Absorbing some of your chaotic power in exchange for such a condition is not a loss."
Chen Yang's explanation made Zhou Zeyao's eyebrows immediately raise.
Zhou Zeyao naturally knew about the Heavenly Doctor Hall.
Although Zhou Zeyao's absorbed memories were not complete, he remembered things related to martial artists very clearly.
This was why Zhou Zeyao could immediately adapt to the current environment.
Zhou Zeyao sized up Chen Yang and said with some disbelief, "I naturally know about the Heavenly Doctor Hall, but you are the hall master of the Heavenly Doctor Hall? So young?"
Zhou Zeyao only knew about the achievements of the Heavenly Doctor Hall in recent years, but regarding the true identity of the hall master of the Heavenly Doctor Hall, who this person was, even the Zhou family did not know.
Chen Yang smiled lightly, "Otherwise, why do you think the Southwestern Prefecture suddenly came to the mine this time? It's because I wanted to investigate the Zhou family's mine."
"But now that you have occupied Zhou Zeyao's body, I don't need to investigate myself."
Zhou Zeyao immediately understood Chen Yang's meaning, sat down on a chair, and smiled lightly at Chen Yang, "How are you so sure that I will tell you the news of the Zhou family?"
"Don't forget you still owe me something, I don't owe you!"
"Besides, I have occupied Zhou Zeyao's body, and I am Zhou Zeyao now. I am a Zhou family martial artist. Since you want to deal with the Zhou family, then you are my enemy. Logically, I should deal with you now, shouldn't I?"
As Zhou Zeyao spoke, his body suddenly erupted with inner energy, looking as if he was about to fight if they disagreed.
Facing all of this, Chen Yang did not move at all. Moreover, he showed a look of undisguised joy on his face.
Seeing that Chen Yang did not move, Zhou Zeyao lost interest, withdrew his power, and rolled his eyes, "Are you so sure I won't fight you?"
"Even if I don't expose myself, if I just tell the Zhou family martial artists outside, they will apprehend you immediately."
Chen Yang heard this and laughed even more happily, "You think I'm afraid of them?"
Zhou Zeyao shook his head. Ordinary martial artists would never be able to absorb chaotic power as quickly as Chen Yang.
Zhou Zeyao vaguely remembered that to absorb chaotic power, the required realm was far beyond that of a peak Grandmaster.
Chen Yang was indeed a peak Grandmaster now, but he was far from meeting that requirement.
It was very likely due to his cultivation technique or the special nature of his body.
