Chapter 827 Aftermath
The speed was so fast that Chen Yang couldn't react immediately.
After all, Venerable Xuanfeng was so heavily injured that his strength should have weakened.
But now, Venerable Xuanfeng's outburst showed no sign of weakening.
The moment they clashed, Chen Yang was surprised to find that the other party didn't seem so formidable!
Just then, Venerable Xuanfeng's figure suddenly vanished.
Sensing the direction of his escape, Chen Yang's eyes widened.
Chen Yang truly hadn't expected that Venerable Xuanfeng would try to flee!
"Where do you think you're going!" Although Chen Yang's Tianxing Secret Art consumed a lot of internal energy, after being nourished by heavenly lightning, its speed had significantly increased.
Seeing that both Chen Yang and Venerable Xuanfeng had disappeared from the mountaintop, all the martial artists there let out a collective sigh of relief.
However, Zhou Qingming was now staring intently at Zhou Zeyao.
The words Zhou Zeyao had spoken earlier, if they got back, even if others didn't say anything, the patriarch would definitely speak up.
But Zhou Zeyao didn't care about these things at all. Instead, he looked in the direction Chen Yang had disappeared, a look of calm amusement on his face.
Following that, a wisp of divine soul within Zhou Zeyao began to dissipate. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
When Zhou Zeyao opened his eyes again, he gave a bitter laugh. "This guy, he even dares to misuse my martial arts."
The wisp of divine soul that had just dissipated was Zhou Zeyao of the Zhou family.
Logically, after the Zhou family's Zhou Zeyao died, his divine soul shouldn't have reappeared after being absorbed for so long, let alone have control of his entire body.
But as fate would have it, the merged Zhou Zeyao was no ordinary martial artist. Every martial art and technique left behind by his predecessor was an unparalleled ancient martial art of its time.
The merged Zhou Zeyao knew there was an issue with his divine soul and had been using cultivation methods to nourish and repair it.
He hadn't expected that this nurturing would actually heal the remaining wisp of divine soul of the Zhou family's Zhou Zeyao.
The horrific scene just now had directly awakened the divine soul of the Zhou family's Zhou Zeyao.
Relying on the shared memories within his body, the Zhou family's Zhou Zeyao directly used ancient martial arts that did not originally belong to him.
However, unleashing such a devastating blow came at a price.
And that price was the remaining wisp of residual soul of the Zhou family's Zhou Zeyao.
"I thought we two would perfectly merge, but now it seems..."
Zhou Zeyao chuckled bitterly and slowly got up from the ground.
When Zhou Zeyao returned to the Zhou family's ranks, he saw the shocked expressions on Zhou Qingming and the others' faces. He snorted, "What are you still doing here? Waiting for Chen Yang to come back and deal with us?"
"Let's return to Modu first and inform the patriarch about this matter."
"Don't return the money from the Xuantian Cave Mansion. Consider it compensation for their actions!"
As Zhou Zeyao finished speaking and turned to leave, the peak Grandmaster arranged by the Zhou family patriarch to accompany Zhou Zeyao could only follow.
Zhou Qingming could faintly hear the conversation between the other person and Zhou Zeyao.
"Zeyao, I must say, what you just said was a bit too much! Regardless, the cooperation with Venerable Xuantian was approved by the patriarch. If your statement that the Zhou family deserves death reaches the patriarch's ears, you might even be expelled from the family."
Zhou Zeyao scoffed at these words. "Expel me? I severed Venerable Xuanfeng's arm with a single sword. Can you do that? How many martial artists in the Zhou family can do that?"
"Relying on Zhou Qingming? Does he have the strength? "
"Even if they had the strength, would they dare to?"
"Every single one of them treats the people of Xuantian Cave as if they were their ancestors. If I hadn't acted, both you and I would have died here."
Zhou Zeyao was not afraid of the Zhou family patriarch's reprimand.
The patriarch had great authority, but he was a peak Grandmaster!
Even the Zhou family couldn't afford to lose a peak Grandmaster.
Hearing this, Zhou Qingming looked at the direction they were leaving with a dark expression. He then glanced at the direction of Yangyangyang Company and could only follow them helplessly.
Now that the Zhou family had fallen out with Xuantian Cave Mansion, and the Zhou family had lost many Grandmasters.
Zhou Qingming was not a fool. In such a situation, clashing with Yangyangyang Company would undoubtedly lead to defeat.
Seeing that the Zhou family was withdrawing, Bei Xuan and Dong Cang knew that the danger here was gone and thought of helping Chen Yang.
But as they were about to pursue Chen Yang and Venerable Xuanfeng, they were stopped by Chen Shu.
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes. "Why are you two chasing after them? Who are you planning to help?"
Upon hearing this, Bei Xuan and Dong Cang exchanged glances and said in unison, "Of course, to help Chen Yang!"
Chen Shu chuckled. "If it's to help Chen Yang, then the two of you should not go."
"If people from Xuantian Cave Mansion die in front of you, it might implicate you."
With that, Chen Shu's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bei Xuan's expression was extremely grim. He had never expected things to develop to this point today.
Even Venerable Xuanfeng of Xuantian Cave Mansion was involved.
Even if Luo Yanghong died here, he would only be a disciple of a sect.
But Venerable Xuanfeng was different; he was a top combatant of a sect!
If he truly died, Xuantian Cave Mansion would likely pursue the matter relentlessly.
Bei Xuan's mind raced frantically, and he finally thought of a solution. "Have Nan Zhu come to Qingzhou! If the old guys from Xuantian Cave Mansion dare to come out and make a move, then you and I will prepare to invite that adult."
Dong Cang's expression changed.
Since taking over the position of God of War, he had never thought he would have to use this thing.
Seeing Dong Cang's unusual expression, Bei Xuan frowned. "What? You're unwilling? Can you invite people from your Daoist sect?"
Dong Cang gave a wry smile and remained silent.
Inviting people from the sect was impossible.
Their helping Chen Yang was a personal matter, and it absolutely could not involve their sect.
However, using the God of War Token was something they hadn't even considered when they were severely injured and on the verge of death.
Dong Cang muttered, "I was originally waiting to use it when we dealt with the Zhou family."
Bei Xuan didn't hear Dong Cang's words clearly and said, "I don't want to either. If we really have to invite that person out, it would mean our incompetence. But there's no other way. The four of us, plus the peak Grandmasters from Yangyangyang Company, cannot possibly resist the entire Beixuan Sect."
While the two of them were discussing how to deal with the Beixuan Sect's subsequent revenge,
Chen Yang had already caught up with Venerable Xuanfeng!
Venerable Xuanfeng looked at Chen Yang, who was blocking his path. The arrogance in his tone was gone, but he still suppressed his fear and said, "You can't kill me!"
