Chapter 598 Grand Display
Chen Yang let out a cold snort, "A bunch of people seeking fame and reputation!"
"Back then, Hongwu Celestial Venerable founded the Twenty-Eight Constellations with the intention of mediating between the northern and southern martial artists, so they could unite against the encroachment of noble families and sects. Yet, here you are, clinging to noble families and eagerly showing yourselves, truly disgraceful!"
"The Twenty-Eight Constellations? You think you're worthy?"
At these words, the six grandmasters present were all startled.
They believed that only the twenty-eight of them knew about the founding of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Everyone knew of the current Twenty-Eight Constellations in the martial world, unaware that this organization had existed for over a thousand years, though it had operated underground and its lineage had been broken at times.
"Bastard, you seek death, young one!"
One of them, flushed with anger by Chen Yang's scolding, darted forward several times. Before his words had even finished, he was already in front of Chen Yang.
A flash of starlight streaked before Chen Yang's eyes.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations each possessed unique martial arts techniques. Chen Yang had experienced it once before and was naturally on guard.
With the enhancement of the Sky-Walker Secret Technique, Chen Yang was one step faster than his opponent with every move.
After dodging, Chen Yang clearly saw the opponent's attack.
Every move and stance of the opponent was imbued with starlight. It was daytime now, but at night, this starlight would undoubtedly be even more captivating.
"Your movement technique is quite good, but do you plan to keep dodging forever?"
Seeing that he couldn't hit Chen Yang, the Constellation Grandmaster immediately turned and shouted, "Are you all just going to stand there and watch? If this brat goes out and starts spouting nonsense, will we still have any face left?"
The Twenty-Eight Constellations were admired by so many precisely because they feared no noble family or sect.
If it were known that they had shamelessly come to the Zhou family, they would likely be ridiculed to death.
Everything they had done before would become a joke!
However, no matter how loudly the man shouted, no one moved to surround Chen Yang.
Instead, someone chuckled, "Old Liao, what are you worried about? We're only here to find Cheng Mo, not to truly join the Zhou family."
"Even if it's Cheng Mo, he only got his disciple into the Zhou family. Didn't he himself not enter the Zhou family?"
He then looked at Chen Yang and explained, "Young man, the Zhou family is not as simple as you think. If you truly injure Zhou Lihao today, even if we old fellows don't act, the grandmasters of the Zhou family will not let you go."
"Let us act as mediators today, and we'll put this matter to rest. How about it?"
Zhou Lihao was surprised that the Twenty-Eight Constellations would intervene.
Zhou Lihao cast a hateful glance at his son, who had just climbed up from the ground, and the scattered "Great Zhou Heavens," and could only suppress his anger with a smile, "Everything is as the seniors see fit."
Just as everyone thought the matter was settled, a cold snort exploded in their ears.
"Put this matter to rest? I haven't agreed yet!"
The six Constellation Grandmasters looked at Chen Yang in shock. Was this young grandmaster intending to challenge all six of them?
Although Chen Yang's movement technique was indeed powerful, what use was even the most profound movement technique against six grandmasters?
Old Liao, who had just sparred with Chen Yang, showed an unusual look of admiration, "Young people are indeed arrogant!"
Chen Yang ignored him and directly addressed Zhou Lihao, "This morning, you had a woman captured. If even a single hair on her head is harmed, this matter will not be over."
"I admit the Zhou family is powerful, but if I let this slide today, who can guarantee that the Zhou family won't retaliate?"
Upon hearing that the Zhou family had kidnapped a woman, the six Constellation Grandmasters' brows furrowed.
They detested such acts of bullying and abuse of power the most.
Old Liao put away his smile and asked indifferently, "Fourth Brother Zhou, is this true?"
Although it was a casual question, Zhou Lihao felt the sharpness in his tone.
Zhou Lihao naturally wouldn't admit to such a thing. "Esteemed seniors, our Zhou family has vast holdings and faces various threats daily. But I guarantee that the Zhou family has never engaged in such despicable acts."
"This person must be slandering us. Honestly, I still don't know who he is!"
"He dared to barge into the Zhou family's stronghold so brazenly, injure so many people, and even my son. If it weren't for your presence, esteemed seniors, I wouldn't have let this matter go so easily."
Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh at Zhou Lihao's shamelessness.
Shi He and his girlfriend were just ordinary people. Besides the Zhou family, who else would have dealt such a heavy blow?
"Is that so? Then I shall search this Zhou family stronghold!"
As Chen Yang spoke, he began to move towards the depths of the Zhou family stronghold.
The six Constellation Grandmasters exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, and moved to surround Chen Yang.
"Young man, the Zhou family is, after all, the foremost noble family. If you truly stir things up like this, and find nothing, it will harm more than just yourself. You cannot bear that responsibility!"
Before Chen Yang could reply, hearty laughter rang out from the entrance.
"How laughable, truly laughable!"
"If he cannot bear the responsibility, then what if we four join him?"
Everyone's gaze immediately shifted towards the main entrance.
The newcomers were the Four Great War Gods: Dong Cang, Xi Bai, Nan Zhu, and Bei Xuan.
After leaving the meeting, they immediately received news from the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant had been taken away by the Zhou family, and they had also seen their colleagues in the car.
Coupled with Chen Yang's phone call, everything became clear.
The Four Great War Gods rushed towards the Zhou family stronghold without any delay.
Bei Xuan looked at the six Constellation Grandmasters surrounding Chen Yang and sneered, "Six against one. The Twenty-Eight Constellations truly surprise me!"
The Four Great War Gods were public figures, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations not only knew them but also interacted with them frequently.
They had never expected to encounter all four War Gods at once on this trip to Modu!
It was known that each of these four had their own forces, and it was already rare to see even one War God on a normal occasion.
No one had ever imagined that all four of them would gather together.
Dong Cang's gaze swept over the six Constellation Grandmasters, "We are only here to deal with the Zhou family. Have the Twenty-Eight Constellations become the Zhou family's retainers?"
"If not, please leave."
Dong Cang's words were quite polite. The six Constellation Grandmasters nodded repeatedly, "War God Dong Cang jokes. The Twenty-Eight Constellations do not become retainers of any noble family or sect."
"We are in Modu this time to find Cheng Mo, and we just happened to have some dealings with the Zhou family."
At these words, Bei Xuan and Chen Yang both raised an eyebrow. When they saw these six, both of them had suspected they were here to find Cheng Mo.
