Chapter 971 A Great Gift
Outside the battlefield, the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery, the old monster Zhang from the mysterious sea space, and the peak grandmasters of various sects fell silent once more.
Strong!
Not just ordinarily strong, but strong enough to kill them!
These people were all old. Although they hadn't been active in the martial world for years, they always kept informed about major events or the emergence of super geniuses.
Because these would affect them personally.
No one would be uninterested in things that could affect them.
Just like today, the power displayed by this Chen Yang!
Qing Qing, the mistress of the Xuan Tian Cave Mansion, was a newcomer among them.
But even a newcomer's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary peak grandmaster.
To them, peak grandmasters were merely beginners. True transformation came after body tempering.
Only then could one stand on equal footing with them.
But now, such a young man…
Not only did he display immense power, but he also nearly killed Xuan Qing with that power.
This had become a threat to them.
Sensing the killing intent in their eyes, the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery, who had made a move earlier but had remained silent, suddenly spoke, "You cannot touch this Chen Yang."
This time, old monster Zhang did not speak.
The old monk's earlier display had shocked him.
If he spoke again now, it would inevitably create enmity.
However, someone couldn't help but sneer, "What? I don't see any Buddhist martial arts in his techniques. Are you going to say that Chen Yang has a connection with your Buddhist sect?"
"With such a murderous disposition, aren't you afraid he'll exterminate your sect if you take him in?"
Before, everyone's feelings towards Chen Yang were at most curiosity.
After all, it was natural for anyone to be curious about a powerful martial artist who suddenly appeared.
But after Chen Yang's move nearly killed Xuan Qing, they immediately understood that someone with such a personality might cause trouble for them one day.
Such threats, of course, had to be nipped in the bud.
Unless, someone wanted to protect him.
But they never expected that it would be the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery who would step forward.
The abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery did not seem angry. Instead, he clasped his hands together and smiled, "Amitabha."
"You all only know him as Chen Yang, a strong individual who suddenly appeared in Qingzhou City. But how could such a young man appear out of nowhere in this world?"
"Have any of you heard of the Hall of Heavenly Physicians?"
As soon as the name "Hall of Heavenly Physicians" was mentioned, many people looked at the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery in confusion.
"Of course, we know that name. The four Heavenly Lords have received much help from the Hall of Heavenly Physicians."
"Although the Hall of Heavenly Physicians was not founded long ago, its reputation is not small. Among them is a person named the Heavenly Physician Sage, whose medical skills are formidable. I often hear the younger generation mention him."
"I used to want to meet him and see who his master was. But I heard that the Heavenly Physician Sage had gone into seclusion years ago, and the people of the Hall of Heavenly Physicians had scattered."
At this point, some people had already guessed the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery's intention.
They couldn't help but look at the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery in surprise. "Old monk, are you implying that this Chen Yang is the Heavenly Physician Sage of the Hall of Heavenly Physicians?"
The abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery slowly nodded and smiled, "I only recently learned of Chen Yang's identity. You all know that a disciple of my Chan Buddhist Monastery is Bei Xuan, one of the current Heavenly Lords."
"Chen Yang's identity is not false."
"The deeds of the Heavenly Physician Sage of the Hall of Heavenly Physicians in the martial world are known to all. You should understand that Chen Yang's nature is definitely not bad; he is just ruthless."
"And this is not something unacceptable for a martial artist, don't you agree?"
After the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery's words, many people were secretly contemplating.
If Chen Yang was indeed the Heavenly Physician Sage of the Hall of Heavenly Physicians, then many doubts would be resolved.
For example, why did the Four Heavenly Lords and the secular forces help Chen Yang against the Zhou family?
The Heavenly Physician Sage had helped many martial artists; he was not the only one who had benefited from his kindness.
Even some sect disciples had had contact with the Hall of Heavenly Physicians through the Heavenly Lords.
Such a person was indeed…
Just then, the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery spoke again, "What was the purpose of Xuan Tian Cave Mansion's alliance with the Zhou family? The Zhou family's potion has been successfully refined. Did Xuan Tian Cave Mansion provide any assistance from behind the scenes?"
"Speaking of which, Xuan Tian Cave Mansion has been acting presumptuously and interfering in secular affairs again and again. Have none of you considered giving Chen Yang an explanation?"
This time, everyone was stunned.
What explanation could they give Chen Yang?
Sects not interfering in secular affairs was merely an unspoken rule among them…
Did anyone truly abide by it?
It was merely a matter of how far their reach extended!
Even the Chan Buddhist Monastery, wasn't it reliant on the Southern Buddhist sect to recruit disciples?
Its assets were not small.
Although other sects had their differences, it was impossible to say that they had absolutely no involvement in secular business.
Even though peak grandmasters could circulate internal energy within their bodies and go without food for some days, what about the others?
They all had expenses.
Not to mention the exchange of certain rare heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and spirit stones, which required an incalculable amount of wealth.
Xuan Tian Cave Mansion had simply overstepped its bounds this time, and coincidentally, they had encountered Chen Yang.
For such a trivial matter, they were expected to give Chen Yang an explanation? That was too much!
Many of them scoffed at such a notion.
Their reputation was not just their own; in a way, it represented their entire sect.
However, the abbot of the Chan Buddhist Monastery did not stop there. He pointed at Fei Zilin, Fei Zijin, and the others on the battlefield and slowly said, "The great changes in heaven and earth are happening today!"
"The techniques used by these four people, and the mysterious person who was killed by a single stomp, do not resemble those of current martial artists."
"Chen Yang is not only the Heavenly Physician Sage, but he has also gathered ancient martial artists and is rumored to have gone to Xue Lin. If you want to make a move, do it now."
"Otherwise, you will regret it, just like Xuan Qing!"
This time, everyone was stunned.
Should they make a move?
Just the title of Heavenly Physician Sage alone, if they were to kill him, not to mention the infamy, they might also incur trouble.
Let alone all the complicated matters surrounding Chen Yang!
"Ahem, old monk, what are you so agitated about? We never said we would hurt Chen Yang. Some of my grand-disciples have even received favors from the Heavenly Physician Sage."
"Others may, but I certainly won't make a move!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with others.
"I originally came to join the fun today. I didn't expect Chen Yang to not only force out the Zhou family's potion but also expose the Xuan Tian Cave Mansion's menace. How about we all present a great gift together as a token of our sincerity?"
