Chapter 721 The Invitation
"I'm heading back now and will be there soon. Keep an eye on that person until then, don't let him escape."
Chen Yang didn't mention He Fengyun's affairs. After hanging up the phone, he inquired about Master Weng.
Before He Fengyun could answer, Chen Yanding, who was standing beside him, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Yanding looked at Chen Yang, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Chen Yang, the person you're talking about, is it really Master Weng?"
Master Weng was actually a martial artist, and so powerful that the Southern Vermillion War God found him troublesome?
Was that person really the Master Weng he knew?
A wry smile appeared on Chen Yang's face. He understood how shocked Chen Yanding was. "I really can't answer that question. Whether it's the Master Weng you know, we'll let you judge for yourself when we get there."
Just then, He Fengyun, who was standing nearby, also spoke.
"The Master Weng you're talking about, is it that old man who always stays in the tea garden?"
Seeing both their gazes fixed on him, He Fengyun chuckled awkwardly. "It seems you don't know this old man very well. The reason I stayed so far away and didn't get too close to the tea garden was because of this Master Weng."
"This Master Weng seems to possess something special. If it were unleashed, he could reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm."
Chen Yang coldly uttered two words: "Death Qi!"
He Fengyun's eyebrows shot up. With Chen Yang's mental strength at the peak Grandmaster level, he had indeed sensed something unusual.
"You're right, it is indeed Death Qi," He Fengyun nodded.
Chen Yanding was confused by the conversation between the two. Master Weng was not only a martial artist but also one who could control Death Qi?
As a Grandmaster martial artist, Chen Yanding knew about Death Qi.
Ordinary martial artists avoided it at all costs; he had never heard of anyone who could control it!
With a thousand doubts in their hearts, the three arrived at the tea garden. Before they could even enter, they saw Nan Zhu waiting for them on the outskirts.
Nan Zhu was stunned for a moment when he saw another stranger behind Chen Yang. However, upon seeing the other person's face, his eyes widened in disbelief. "He Fengyun!"
He Fengyun also recognized the person in front of him as Nan Zhu, one of the Four War Gods.
As their gazes met, sparks seemed to fly, and the two immediately became hostile!
Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly stepped between them.
"What's wrong? Between you two..."
Before Chen Yang could finish, Nan Zhu said, "This person is a Gu Master wanted by the Southwest Prefecture. Chen Yang, do you know this guy?"
Upon hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Chen Yang's face. He never expected He Fengyun to still be on the Southwest Prefecture's wanted list!
At this moment, He Fengyun was also filled with anger. "Nonsense! Your Southwest Prefecture has been chasing me relentlessly, isn't it just because you want my Gu worms!"
"It's one thing that you refused me when I wanted to join the Southwest Prefecture back then, and now you want to capture me? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
As he spoke, hundreds and thousands of Gu worms flew out from He Fengyun's sleeve.
These were all enhanced Gu worms, far more powerful than ordinary ones.
He Fengyun was not just a peak Grandmaster martial artist; he was also the foremost expert of the He family's Gu Master lineage.
Seeing the two about to fight the moment they met, Chen Yang's anger flared.
"Enough!"
Chen Yang's fiery internal energy erupted, blocking Nan Zhu, while his frigid water internal energy restrained the Gu worms that had just flown out!
Everyone present was shaken by this display.
Chen Yang's strength was far too formidable.
Chen Yang first said to He Fengyun, "Uncle He, the reason I want to bring you out is not only to deal with the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable together, but also so that He Lingyu can reunite with you. But if you act so recklessly again..."
He Fengyun snorted and retracted his Gu worms.
Chen Yang glanced at Nan Zhu and said in a low voice, "I don't know what Uncle He did in the Southwest, but it shouldn't be a major crime, otherwise I would have received a wanted notice too."
"If my assumption is correct, any losses the Southwest Prefecture incurs in this matter can be attributed to me, how about that?"
Since Chen Yang had said this, Nan Zhu naturally wouldn't fight him again.
"Ahem, of course, I'll give you face. But I must report this to the people in the Southwest Prefecture, and they will contact you then."
"What He Fengyun did was indeed not a capital offense, merely that he 'borrowed' a few items when he left the Southwest Prefecture." Nan Zhu was already inclined to avoid further trouble, especially now that He Fengyun seemed to be with Chen Yang...
He Fengyun rolled his eyes. "It can only be called borrowing. I left a written IOU."
Upon hearing this, the three nearly collapsed to the ground.
Chen Yang rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "Let's go see Master Weng first!"
When the three reached Master Weng, Chen Yang looked at the unconscious Master Weng on the ground and said with some hesitation, "Couldn't you have put him on a bed? Just leaving him on the ground like this?"
"Damn it, I'm injured, and you're not even going to check on me first!" Nan Zhu wasn't devoid of humanitarian spirit, but he was afraid that even the slightest movement from him would cause Master Weng to wake up again.
Chen Yanding immediately stepped forward to help Master Weng up upon seeing him.
At this moment, Master Weng no longer exuded the immense Death Qi he had before, but the three peak Grandmasters could still feel a trace of Death Qi gathered on his forehead.
Seeing this, Nan Zhu was about to warn Chen Yanding to be careful of the Death Qi emanating from the man, but Chen Yang stopped him.
Chen Yang knew that in Chen Yanding's heart, this Master Weng was an old friend who had always guarded the tea garden with him.
Now that Master Weng's Death Qi was no longer a threat to anyone, there was no need to remind him at this moment.
After a few people entered the room, Chen Yanding lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Chen Yang, do you think Master Weng will wake up?"
"This tea garden is like a fleeting acquaintance, and in the end, only Master Weng remained. If he's gone, what's the point of me painstakingly restoring the tea garden?"
Master Weng was a martial artist, powerful enough to injure Nan Zhu, the War God. These were undeniable facts laid bare before Chen Yanding, and he couldn't ignore them.
At this moment, Chen Yanding felt that his years of persistence seemed to be in vain, like a joke.
Just as Chen Yanding was speaking, Master Weng's eyelids suddenly twitched.
