Chapter 620 Not an Enemy
"Master, we've told you everything we know. We're really not bad people!"
Faced with such an answer, Chen Yang sat down, his smile gone. "Bei Xuan, if these two aren't from Saint Moon Divine Venerable, leave them to me. They still have some research value. Their bones alone can keep me researching for a long time."
Chen Yang said this, naturally, to scare them.
Although Chen Yang had many research interests in medicine, he had never delved into this area.
Wu Bandao cried out, "Oh heavens! Why don't you believe me? It's the truth!"
"We really don't practice martial arts. I have no idea what 'aptitude' you're talking about."
"We grew up in the snow forest, raised by an old man. He died a few days ago. Before he passed, he told us to go out and travel, to see the world for him, thousands of miles away."
"Upon discovering that the vital energy of Qingzhou City was abnormal, my elder brother and I prepared to come and investigate."
What Wu Bandao said was indeed true.
If they had known that the entire cart was filled with people as powerful as the old man, they would never have boarded it.
Chen Yang remained silent and looked at Bei Xuan beside him.
When they entered, Bei Xuan had already used the "Qing Yan" technique.
He could sense even the fluctuations of a peak Grandmaster, let alone two ordinary people.
Seeing Chen Yang's gaze, Bei Xuan nodded and whispered, "They likely aren't lying. Their auras are very stable."
Just then, Zhang Dao suddenly spoke, "Old Wu, do you feel that thing is nearby?"
Hearing this, Wu Bandao smacked his forehead. He really wanted to punch his elder brother. He had actually sensed it when they entered but had suppressed it deep in his heart.
He never expected his elder brother to voice it.
Chen Yang frowned. This was the Heavenly Doctor Hall's stronghold. If there was anything unusual, it would be the bronze tree beneath their feet.
Aside from the bronze tree, Chen Yang had already had his men transfer all other treasures elsewhere.
These two men had actually found their way here following the bronze tree!
"Bei Xuan, please step out for a moment. I need to speak with these two alone." Chen Yang slowly stood up, his expressionless face turned towards the two men.
Bei Xuan naturally wanted to stay, but since Chen Yang had spoken, he felt it inappropriate to remain.
After Bei Xuan left, Chen Yang approached Zhang Dao and whispered, "Zhang Dao, is it? You're looking for a tree?"
Chen Yang's voice was very low, and coupled with the fact that the materials used to construct this room were all capable of isolating auras, even if Bei Xuan used his spiritual power, he wouldn't be able to hear the conversation within.
Chen Yang was concerned for Bei Xuan's safety, as knowing about something that could produce martial artists without limits was a dangerous piece of information.
Zhang Dao's eyes narrowed. "The item is indeed with you. Did you kill the old man?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Bandao attacked.
Wu Bandao's hand shot out towards Chen Yang's neck, but before it could reach, it was firmly grasped by Chen Yang's iron-like hand.
"I knew you two were hiding something. Without internal energy, you possess such strength!"
From the strength Wu Bandao displayed, Chen Yang deduced that he was likely at the Grandmaster level.
However, there was a difference between him and a true Grandmaster. A true Grandmaster could utilize internal energy, but Wu Bandao was purely a physical Grandmaster.
"Big brother, hurry!" Wu Bandao said as he butted his head towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang did not dodge. He met the charge head-on.
After his body had been strengthened by the bronze cauldron, Chen Yang didn't believe that the bones of an ordinary Grandmaster could compare to his.
But before this thought could fully form, Chen Yang felt a dizzying sensation.
It was a collision of boulder and steel.
Chen Yang was like a mountain stone thousands of feet high, while Wu Bandao was like that piece of steel!
However, while Chen Yang felt dizzy, Wu Bandao directly fainted.
Zhang Dao looked on in disbelief.
Wu Bandao had fought a bear a few years ago and had killed it with his head. Zhang Dao had never imagined someone could be harder than Wu Bandao.
Chen Yang rubbed his head and said with a wry smile, "I almost got caught in a shallow ditch. Your head is quite hard. How about you?"
Zhang Dao swallowed and shook his head like a rattle.
"So, you're looking for the bronze tree?"
"You just said that the person who took the bronze tree killed the old man you mentioned?"
Zhang Dao pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "That's just my guess. The bronze tree belonged to the old man. After he died, many things disappeared."
"I just suspect, perhaps he gave it to a friend. Don't you think so?" Zhang Dao said with a bitter, dry laugh.
Although he said this, Zhang Dao suppressed the urge to attack.
The man before him, Chen Yang, was far stronger than him!
Endurance was key!
Chen Yang suddenly chuckled and patted Zhang Dao's shoulder. "Don't worry. I snatched this item from a group of people. If your guess is correct, the enemy you're looking for should be Saint Moon Divine Venerable."
Chen Yang wasn't letting his guard down concerning these two, but he wasn't worried about their strength causing any major trouble.
After all, without internal energy, mere physical strength was easier for Chen Yang to deal with.
"Saint Moon Divine Venerable? Who is that?" Zhang Dao's mind was in a mess. He didn't know who this person the other was talking about.
His knowledge of martial artists was extremely limited.
Chen Yang wasn't surprised and directly explained the current situation to the two of them.
"Saint Moon Divine Venerable gave the bronze tree to the Black Ice organization, and I snatched it from them, leading to the Black Ice organization's demise. The reason I've gathered so many Grandmasters is to guard against an attack from Saint Moon Divine Venerable. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be here soon to try and reclaim it."
After speaking, Chen Yang kicked the unconscious Wu Bandao. "Since you're awake, don't lie on the ground anymore."
Wu Bandao had indeed fainted earlier, but he had already woken up during Chen Yang's explanation.
Wu Bandao slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his head, and said to Zhang Dao, "Ouch, my head. I don't know what happened, did I sleep for a long time?"
Zhang Dao, annoyed, kicked him twice. "You lazy bum, all you do is sleep."
"We've found our enemy, it's Saint Moon Divine Venerable."
