Chapter 637 Excavation
Today, they had lost this battle.
Even though not many Divine Emissaries had died yet, the defeat was certain.
Bei Xuan and the others hadn't expected that a moment of distraction would give these people time to escape.
"Not a single one shall leave!"
These Divine Emissaries were all Grandmaster level. When they unleashed various mystical arts, they could even temporarily elevate their strength to the peak of Grandmaster.
If even one of them managed to escape under such circumstances, it would be a catastrophe of immense proportions.
Chen Yang also didn't stop, instead rushing to help Bei Xuan and the others intercept the Divine Emissaries who were attempting to flee.
Half an hour later, apart from two Divine Emissaries who had mysteriously vanished and escaped, all the others were annihilated.
Chen Yang had initially intended to keep a few alive. However, the surviving Divine Emissaries were none too peaceful.
Each one, before their death, unleashed their curses.
Bei Xuan, watching the Heavenly Physician Hall disciples clean up the battlefield, sighed to Chen Yang beside him, "Chen Yang, do you think Saint Moon Divine Venerable will come?"
Hearing this question, Chen Yang pondered carefully, and finally shook his head, "I'm not sure. This Saint Moon Divine Venerable has set the positions of over thirty Divine Emissaries very high. Yet, I don't feel any guidance from Saint Moon Divine Venerable towards these individuals."
"Without exception, these people are all powerful warriors, and they are all devoted to Saint Moon Divine Venerable, even obtaining some secret methods to enhance their strength."
"I don't know if you've noticed, but the secret methods these people use are all exchanged with their lives."
"What exactly does Saint Moon Divine Venerable want to achieve?"
After expending great effort to arrange so many Divine Emissaries, the cultivation techniques provided were actually consuming their lives.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable could not possibly be unaware of the news that these thirty-odd Divine Emissaries were coming to Qingzhou City.
Yet, from beginning to end, Chen Yang hadn't sensed any powerful warriors in the vicinity.
From the moment the battle began, Chen Yang had been observing the surrounding environment, fearing that Saint Moon Divine Venerable might suddenly attack.
But until the cleanup of the battlefield began, this individual had not shown themselves.
Bei Xuan's brows furrowed, "Let's hope this doesn't usher in an era of chaos."
"Now that things here are resolved, I'm returning to Modu. I need to meet with Dong Cang and the others."
Seeing Chen Yang simply nod without bringing up other matters, Bei Xuan became restless. "Aren't you going to ask me how we plan to deal with the Zhou family's affairs?"
According to the arrangements of the Four Great War Gods, the Zhou family was bound to suffer some damage due to the football incident.
However, they hadn't anticipated that the Zhou family would so directly sever its ties, even risking offending the Grandmasters of the Twenty-Eight Mansions for it.
When Chen Yang learned of this, he merely expressed his shock and did not excessively criticize the Four Great War Gods.
This made Bei Xuan feel even more ashamed.
Back then, Chen Yang had poured countless effort into helping them recover from their injuries. Now, with a rare opportunity to repay him, they had botched it.
Chen Yang turned to look at Bei Xuan, his expression peculiar. "How do you want to deal with it? If you were to get to the bottom of it, the Zhou family is just an ordinary family. Even if they have martial artists, in their eyes, they're merely like bodyguards."
"No matter how much you pursue them, the Zhou family will always be able to evade your strikes."
"To truly unearth the Zhou family's foundation, it's impossible through force. In fact, the Zhou family might even seek your help at that time."
Hearing Chen Yang say this, Bei Xuan's expression changed. Was Chen Yang worried that the four of them would help the Zhou family?
Was it a lack of trust?
"The Zhou family's matters are my personal affairs. I originally didn't intend to trouble you all. But Dong Cang mentioned last time that the four of you were willing to help me, and I was very happy about that."
"I will try other methods to resolve the Zhou family issue. If it truly doesn't work out in the end, I will definitely not hesitate to ask for your help."
When he said the last few words, Chen Yang's tone was very firm.
Bei Xuan's heart was finally put at ease.
The two of them looked together at the ruined landscape outside, yet held different thoughts in their hearts.
"Chen Yang, as a friend, I must remind you that the Zhou family's influence is immense. But similarly, as Dong Cang said, as long as you say the word, we will definitely come."
With that, Bei Xuan patted Chen Yang's shoulder and flickered away.
Meanwhile, the twenty-seven Grandmasters of the Mansions in Qingzhou City did not leave immediately.
"Do you all feel that this Chen Yang is not right?"
"How is he not right?"
"Look at that girl named Vermilion Bird. I met her at the Heavenly Physician Hall when I was seeking medical treatment. She is constantly by the side of the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable!"
Everyone turned to look and saw that Vermilion Bird had remained by Chen Yang's side, never leaving.
"Damn, are you implying that this Chen Yang is the legendary Medical Saint Celestial Venerable?"
"It's very possible! This fellow can possess such strength at such a young age!"
"That's not what I mean. I mean, is it possible that young friend Chen Yang is a disciple of the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable?"
This statement immediately drew agreement from many.
Compared to the idea that Chen Yang was the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable, they were more inclined to believe that Chen Yang was a disciple of the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable.
Years ago, the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable had suddenly disappeared. Everyone thought the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable had been injured and had retired.
It wasn't impossible for him to have taken on a disciple in these past few years.
"If you really want to know, why don't I go and ask?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn to see who was speaking.
Liao Zhonghai strode out of the crowd and walked towards Chen Yang.
Liao Zhonghai was one of the Grandmasters of the Mansions who had a relatively good relationship with Chen Yang. It would be more convenient for him to ask.
Just as everyone was waiting for the result, Bei Xuan walked over.
"Esteemed seniors, I am returning to Modu shortly. Would you like to accompany me?" Bei Xuan wanted to lead these twenty-odd people to cause trouble for the Zhou family.
The enmity between the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the Zhou family would eventually need to be resolved.
Bei Xuan was very willing to help the Twenty-Eight Mansions!
Several elders among the Twenty-Eight Mansions exchanged glances. Finally, one of them cupped his hands and said to Bei Xuan, "War God Bei Xuan, we, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, are one entity. Some of our members are currently in seclusion, and they will need to be notified."
"Before we head to Modu, we will inform War God Bei Xuan."
Bei Xuan was satisfied with this answer. Although they wouldn't go immediately, it was clear they had taken note of the debt owed by the Zhou family.
"Very well, then I shall await your news in Modu."
After bidding farewell to everyone, Bei Xuan waved goodbye again to the distant Chen Yang.
At this moment, Chen Yang was stunned by the question from Liao Zhonghai, the Star Lord of Danger.
Liao Zhonghai's inquiry made it difficult for Chen Yang to answer.
"Brother Chen, the identity of the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable is indeed a secret. However, we of the Twenty-Eight Mansions are merely asking so that we may pay our respects to your master."
