Chapter 617 I Cannot Agree
Chen Yang had encountered all sorts of rare treasures. The calming sensation the faint smoke brought to his spirit was something he was all too familiar with.
"If one knows you, they'd say you're a monk. If they don't, they might mistake you for some lecherous rogue! Such heavy thoughts!"
With the air cleared between them, Chen Yang dropped all pretense and stated directly, "The estate you mentioned is indeed one of our Tianyi Hall's properties. I was there last night. However, as for what exactly is inside, I cannot let you in to see."
"But I can offer you a piece of information for free."
"The reason I had so many people from Tianyi Hall rush to Qingzhou City, coupled with the frequent activities of the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable, is all for that item."
Bei Xuan's eyes flickered with a hint of fanaticism. An item that could cause celestial anomalies and that Chen Yang was unwilling to part with.
How extraordinarily special must it be!
After a moment of calculation, Bei Xuan slapped his thigh in excitement. "I know! The item was obtained from the Black Ice Organization!"
"Before you annihilated them, what else happened with the Black Ice Organization..."
"Their sudden increase in activity means their martial artists have multiplied!"
Listening to Bei Xuan's deductions, Chen Yang found it both exasperating and amusing. "Alright, alright, stop guessing here. Once the storm passes, I'll show you."
Chen Yang never expected that his visit to Bei Xuan would directly expose the existence of the Bronze Tree.
"So it turns out all of this has something to do with you!" Bei Xuan looked utterly speechless.
"Then how do you plan to deal with the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable? I might even gather people from the other organizations and bring them all to Qingzhou City."
"At that point, let alone your Tianyi Hall, even with the forces we currently command, we might not be able to keep them all here."
The Black Ice Organization had always been the target of Chen Yang's pursuit, and their sphere of influence and power was the smallest among them.
It was only recently that they resurfaced and were subsequently wiped out by Chen Yang.
But if the remaining organizations were to act in concert, the trouble would be immense!
Moreover, his side would inevitably suffer significant losses.
Bei Xuan genuinely wanted to know what important item Chen Yang had taken from them.
"These people will never cooperate sincerely. Although these organizations are under the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable, expecting them to band together is simply laughable."
Chen Yang had witnessed their internal strife more than once. Before the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable even appeared, many of them were mortal enemies.
"If I'm not mistaken, the ones coming should be the thirty-six divine attendants under the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable."
Hearing Chen Yang's intelligence, Bei Xuan almost spat out his drink. Although Chen Yang had only recently returned, the information he possessed seemed more comprehensive than that of the four great war gods.
He even knew names unknown to the war gods. Thirty-six divine attendants!
"Wait, wait, wait, what are these thirty-six divine attendants? What is their relationship with the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable? I've never heard of them before!"
"Could all these people be at the peak of the Grandmaster realm?" Bei Xuan's string of questions caused Chen Yang to frown.
When he first heard the name Sacred Moon Divine Venerable, the thirty-six divine attendants followed closely behind, as they acted as the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's emissaries to the world.
Bei Xuan didn't even know about this?
"What have you all been doing all this time? This information is readily available!"
Chen Yang's tone turned somewhat sharp. Bei Xuan could only spread his hands helplessly. "We can't help it. We are not a true martial artist organization. Most of the matters we handle have nothing to do with martial artists. Even among our interactions with various organizations, we have the most contact with the Black Dragon Pavilion."
"My generals are decreasing in number, and the intelligence department is even more so. You can't blame us!"
Chen Yang waved his hand in response to Bei Xuan's explanation. What Bei Xuan said was indeed true.
Currently, besides Tianyi Hall, which had access to various organizations, even the intelligence systems of the four great war gods were very insular. This was due to their differing backgrounds and responsibilities.
The four great war gods had more combat experience, and their generals had a higher mortality rate.
This was why Chen Yang had unreservedly helped them in the past; they had already done enough.
"Alas, the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable has grand ambitions. I've encountered one of the thirty-six divine envoys before. Their strength was considerable, and with the treasures bestowed by the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable, I nearly capsized in the gutter."
"If the remaining thirty-six divine envoys were to arrive simultaneously, it would indeed be difficult to resolve!"
Chen Yang didn't know how many Grandmasters and peak Grandmasters the four great war gods could muster. Tianyi Hall certainly didn't have that many.
If all the forces combined, perhaps it would be enough, but that was impossible.
Tianyi Hall itself had several important locations that required people to stay.
Bei Xuan also fell into thought. After a long pause, a few figures suddenly appeared in his mind. "I do have a method, but I'm not sure how many of those fellows will come."
Chen Yang's eyelids twitched. Judging by Bei Xuan's words, it seemed like a large number of people?
"Are there ten?" Chen Yang asked doubtfully.
As soon as he spoke, Bei Xuan revealed a sly smile. "Ten? You think too little of these people."
"Counting them all, there are twenty-seven, though naturally, they won't all come!"
Upon hearing this number, Chen Yang immediately understood the intentions of War God Bei Xuan. He was planning to summon the people of the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
Excluding the deceased Cheng Mo, that left exactly twenty-seven individuals!
"Among the Twenty-Eight Constellations, aside from a few who are in strict seclusion, I can use Cheng Mo's matter to pressure them, and they should come." Bei Xuan had completely grasped their weakness; he held their leverage.
Chen Yang also considered Bei Xuan's choice to be a positive direction.
Besides the Twenty-Eight Constellations, there was no other force that could provide so many Grandmasters to help.
"You could publicize your situation. Then, more people might come." Bei Xuan was still puzzled why Chen Yang was unwilling to reveal his identity.
Could it be out of concern for the safety of those around him?
It wouldn't be difficult for Tianyi Hall to protect the safety of the women around Chen Yang!
"No, I cannot do such a thing!"
Chen Yang was not only responsible for the safety of Liu Ran and the others, but he was also planning to take action against the Zhou family soon. Tianyi Hall and Yangyangyang Company acting in secret would have a higher chance of success.
It was also because Chen Yang wanted Liu Ran and the others to live normal lives, rather than facing endless assassinations daily as he had in the past.
