Chapter 992 The Culprit
That was, who killed the Zhou family’s old ancestor, he could roughly guess!
“Chen Yang! You… how did you find this place?”
Zhou Wenqun did not expect Chen Yang himself to come to the research base. Could it be that he learned it from the peak Grandmasters of the Zhou family?
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenqun couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
“You don’t need to tell me how I got here. You just need to tell me, besides us, who else has been to my place, and this research base…”
Zhou Wenqun did not dare to not answer Chen Yang’s questions.
He could only tell Chen Yang about the entire research base situation truthfully.
Zhou Wenqun understood that only by doing this could he survive.
The Zhou family had already fully experienced Chen Yang’s methods.
None of the peak Grandmasters of the Zhou family who were captured escaped Chen Yang’s clutches.
It was rumored that all of them had their internal energy crippled, becoming useless people.
For a martial artist, the power accumulated over a lifetime through arduous effort being abolished just like that was unbearable to even think about.
Not to mention, Zhou Wenqun had already experienced a great fall once, making it even harder for him to endure the pain.
He could no longer bear the mocking gazes of others. If he had to experience it again, Zhou Wenqun would go mad.
“Chen Yang, I understand. I’ve told you everything. Can you spare my life?”
Zhou Wenqun’s voice was trembling. The Zhou family had been destroyed by the other party, and his own life was like an ant in the eyes of the other party.
Chen Yang did not speak. Instead, he directly knocked Zhou Wenqun unconscious and handed him over to Wei Zhenru, who was beside him. “Watch this kid for now, I’ll go take a look at the glass tanks.”
Chen Yang picked up a bottle of nutrient solution and walked towards the nearest glass tank. Looking at the person sleeping in the mysterious liquid within the glass tank, Chen Yang reached out and inserted the nutrient solution into a nearby tube.
According to what Zhou Wenqun had just said, the people being cultivated here were the future martial artists of the Zhou family.
Moreover, the potion they injected was an improved potion!
Several of them even had the potential to become peak Grandmasters.
Zhou Wenqun said it was potential, but because Chen Yang could sense the strength of these people’s mental energy, he was very sure that peak Grandmaster was not an exaggeration.
The modified gene potion could indeed allow ordinary people to leap to become peak Grandmasters.
After injecting the nutrient solution, Chen Yang immediately felt a violent reaction within the glass tank.
The person lying dormant and unconscious was absorbing the diluted nutrient solution throughout his body.
What shocked Chen Yang was that the mental energy of the person absorbing the potion was actually increasing bit by bit.
Although Wei Zhenru’s mental energy was not as sensitive as Chen Yang’s, he was still several steps away, and he could also sense the situation inside the glass tank.
“This guy! No, this potion can increase mental energy?”
In the process of a martial artist’s combat, it was not just the clash of internal energy and techniques, but mental energy was also a crucial aspect.
A martial artist with strong mental energy, using the same internal energy and techniques, would be more dominant than the one with weaker mental energy.
To enhance mental energy, no matter what method was used, it was extremely difficult.
Moreover, because mental energy had a strong innate attribute, even if one cultivated a technique that could enhance it, the amount of mental energy that could be enhanced was limited.
Wei Zhenru’s heart began to race.
This kind of temptation, if it were a martial artist with weak willpower, would surely fall for it.
Fortunately, Wei Zhenru was a peak Grandmaster and could barely resist this temptation.
“Could this thing have side effects?”
Wei Zhenru’s voice was a little hoarse. If these things were to leak out…
Wei Zhenru naturally knew about the situation when the Zhou family took the potion last time.
However, after those people took the potion, it only strengthened their own abilities.
Those guys were already peak Grandmasters.
Now… the people in front of him were all ordinary people.
It was one thing to become martial artists, but they could even enhance their mental energy.
“The side effects are huge. I felt it on Zhou Wenqun just now, every part of him was craving the supplement in my hand!”
“After taking it once, it becomes like a bottomless pit. If these things are not replenished, the power within will absorb their own life force.”
Chen Yang said, walking to the power source, but after a while, Chen Yang did not press it.
If he pressed it, all these people would die.
He didn’t know the identities of these people; they might be from the Zhou family, or they might be people the Zhou family had randomly captured from outside.
Just as Chen Yang was struggling, a roar suddenly came.
“Who is it!”
“How dare you barge into the Zhou family’s forbidden area! You’re seeking death!”
When this voice entered the warehouse, the other party had already seen Zhou Wenqun lying on the ground.
Chen Yang turned to look at the approaching person. He had been observing the situation in the glass tanks just now and hadn’t paid attention to his surroundings, but unexpectedly, this person discovered them.
“Why are you alone? Wasn’t Zhou Qingming also here?”
Chen Yang casually glanced at the other party. He was a peak Grandmaster, but he hadn’t even undergone body refinement.
He was just an ordinary peak Grandmaster, considered a very ordinary existence among the martial artists of the Zhou family.
“You know Zhou Qingming?” The peak Grandmaster of the Zhou family was somewhat surprised. The person clearly did not have good intentions.
However, it was impossible for anyone else to know Zhou Qingming’s presence here!
Moreover, he found the person in front of him somewhat familiar.
“You don’t recognize me?” Chen Yang looked at the other party with great surprise.
Before destroying the Zhou family, Chen Yang had learned from Zhou Zeyao that the Zhou family had long since distributed his information.
Let alone anything else, the martial artists of the Zhou family at or above the Grandmaster level should have seen his profile.
Wei Zhenru, who was beside him, chuckled, “Didn’t Zhou Wenqun just say that the peak Grandmasters left on guard here are rotated once a year? They probably haven’t paid much attention to what’s happening outside.”
At this moment, the martial artist from the Zhou family had already recognized the person in front of him.
Wei Zhenru, he knew him.
He was the current head of the Wei family.
Without the Wei family’s funding, it would have been impossible to maintain the secrecy of this research base.
As for the other martial artist in front of him, even if his brain was slower, he recognized Chen Yang.
The culprit who destroyed the Zhou family!
“I know you, you are Chen Yang!”
“Are you here to destroy the last inheritance of the Zhou family?”
“Such a ruthless pursuit, such a cruel heart and methods!”
“However, do you really think you can succeed?”
As the last peak Grandmaster martial artist of the Zhou family spoke, his internal energy instantly erupted, forming a wave of internal energy that spread out.
