Chapter 910 Experts Like Clouds
The moment the words "Xuan Qing" were spoken, his eyes widened in surprise.
This person, Sheng Yue Shen Zun, had not only stirred up a considerable commotion in the outside world recently.
Even within their respective sects, a significant ripple had spread.
Sheng Yue Shen Zun's origins were unknown, but his strength was formidable.
More importantly, his bloodlust was immense.
According to the rumors, wherever Sheng Yue Shen Zun appeared, a considerable number of martial artists had met their end.
Furthermore, individuals from their sects had encountered him, only to return defeated.
It seemed this Sheng Yue Shen Zun knew many secrets of their sects!
Now that Chen Shu suddenly mentioned Sheng Yue Shen Zun, Xuan Qing, for a moment, even believed Chen Shu.
If it was this Sheng Yue Shen Zun who had acted, it wouldn't be impossible.
The strength of Sheng Yue Shen Zun, according to the sect's estimations, was likely already at the peak of Body Tempering completion.
Although his junior brother was also a peak Grandmaster in the Body Tempering realm, anything could happen in battles of this caliber.
"Senior, the strength of that Sheng Yue Shen Zun is extraordinary. At that time, not only were Chen Yang and I injured, but even the two War Gods, Bei Xuan and Dong Cang, suffered considerable injuries as a result."
"There is still no news about Bei Xuan War God's injuries!"
What Chen Shu said was not false. During the battle, Chen Yang's internal energy had been greatly depleted, and his own origin power had suffered some damage.
Bei Xuan's weapon had been directly shattered.
These were all true!
Although, not all of it was done by Sheng Yue Shen Zun.
But as long as the four of them didn't speak, who would know?
As the two were speaking, Zhou Zheyyao, who had completely absorbed the medicinal power, also emerged.
Following behind Zhou Zheyyao were Hu Feng and Hu Mao Shou.
Three peak Grandmasters, plus a demon beast with strength comparable to a peak Grandmaster.
Seeing the combat power they possessed, Xuan Qing couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.
No wonder those two junior nephews had sought out so many martial artists in Modu but still couldn't seize this Yangyangyang Company.
This Yangyangyang Company, despite its seemingly unremarkable name, was truly more powerful than some sects when its strength was revealed!
Zhou Zheyyao could tell that the old man before him was strong, but there was no hint of worry on his face.
No matter how strong, he was merely a peak Grandmaster.
Inside Zhou Zheyyao's body, there resided a spiritual force that had once reached the true Venerable realm.
If he truly wanted to deal with a peak Grandmaster stronger than himself, there were plenty of methods.
Just as Xuan Qing was about to speak, he suddenly felt another aura approaching from not far away.
It was another peak Grandmaster!
This was the fourth one!
Could it be Chen Yang?
But as the person arrived, Xuan Qing knew for sure that this person was not Chen Yang.
He didn't know Chen Yang's true age, but based on the intelligence obtained so far, Chen Yang's facial features were clearly those of a young man.
However, this peak Grandmaster who had arrived was a martial artist who looked no younger than himself.
He Fengyun's usual residence was not the mountain villa, but a newly developed laboratory.
His daughter He Lingyu and Gong Renli were conducting research in that place.
He Fengyun was personally responsible for the laboratory's security work.
This time, returning to the mountain villa was for He Fengyun to bring some蛊虫 (gǔchóng - insect poison) seeds to be placed beneath the villa.
After all, within the protective formations of the mountain villa, He Fengyun's蛊虫 were present.
Gong Renli had just developed an improved version of the蛊虫, and He Fengyun intended to try and see if it could be used to replenish and replace those within the formations.
He hadn't expected that as soon as he ascended the mountain, he would sense such powerful auras here.
He Fengyun looked at the mysterious martial artist before him, feeling somewhat perplexed.
It couldn't be said that the two sides were at daggers drawn, as even Zhou Zheyyao, a pawn placed in secret, had appeared.
But if they were truly going to fight...
He felt that Chen Shu had no intention of making a move.
He Fengyun looked at Chen Shu with some confusion, but the蛊虫 in his hand had already emerged.
He Fengyun's trump card蛊虫 were not something a peak Grandmaster could casually deal with.
Truly powerful蛊虫, even the strongest peak Grandmaster would have to cautiously handle.
Xuan Qing's brows twitched immediately as he sensed the strange energy fluctuations within the newly arrived peak Grandmaster.
It was a very peculiar energy fluctuation, unlike the internal energy of a martial artist.
"Gu worm, huh? Martial artists from the southwest have actually come to Qingzhou City," Xuan Qing murmured to himself before looking at Chen Shu and saying, "I'll tentatively believe what you told me earlier."
"Where exactly did my junior brother die? Can you take me there?"
Xuan Qing knew that at his junior brother's level, even if he died, his body would not dissipate for a long time.
Bringing back his junior brother's corpse to be buried in the sect would be considered a return to his ancestral home.
Chen Shu nodded slowly, then said to those beside him, "I will be going out with this senior now. The mountain villa is left to you all. If any enemies dare to intrude, kill them without mercy!"
Chen Shu's voice was not loud, but the chilling coldness in his tone made one's blood run cold.
When Chen Shu took Xuan Qing to the place where Venerable Xuan Feng had died, Xuan Qing immediately sensed his junior brother's familiar aura.
Martial artists who had reached the peak Grandmaster realm, even if they were dead, their powerful spiritual force would not dissipate instantly.
Even if their spiritual force scattered, as long as it wasn't deliberately cleaned up, some trace could still be detected after several days.
Xuan Qing suppressed the tears welling in his eyes and immediately used his spiritual force to scan the surroundings.
But in the end, he found nothing!
Let alone a corpse, apart from sensing that a battle had occurred here, he discovered nothing else.
"Impossible! Where is my junior brother's body?" Xuan Qing frowned and asked Chen Shu.
"He was taken away by that person. It seems he specifically targeted Venerable Xuan Feng's corpse. As for the reason, I'm not sure."
After the two lingered there for a while longer, Xuan Qing could only sigh and scoop up a handful of dust before leaving.
Watching Xuan Qing's retreating back, a trace of vigilance appeared on Chen Shu's face.
Although he had successfully lured Xuan Qing away from the mountain villa, the powerful strength displayed by Xuan Qing still made Chen Shu somewhat apprehensive.
How many peak Grandmasters were there in this Xuan Tian Cave Mansion?
He didn't worry about peak Grandmasters like Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan.
But both the now-deceased Xuan Feng and the recently departed Xuan Qing.
These two individuals' strength far surpassed ordinary peak Grandmasters; they were both top-tier combatants.
And this was just from one sect, Xuan Tian Cave Mansion.
What about the hidden powers within sects like Zen Buddhist Monastery, the Seven Schools of Confucianism, and Daoist Sect? How many powerful individuals were there?
In these sects, were there none who had surpassed mortal cultivation and the peak Grandmaster realm?
