Chapter 851 Too Many
Chen Yang felt helpless when he heard this question. He directly picked up the tiger cat beast with one hand and said, "It wasn't me who brought it here. This guy has been sticking to me!"
After putting the tiger cat beast aside, Chen Yang immediately used his spiritual power to envelop the entire room: "Let's not talk about this little guy. I asked you to come here because there are some important things I want to discuss with you."
"Just now, I attended an auction."
The other person in the room was Zhou Zeyao.
Zhou Zeyao looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression. He couldn't figure out why Chen Yang insisted on him coming out in person just for an auction.
Although the Zhou family hadn't targeted him regarding the affairs in Qingzhou City, the people sent by the Zhou family patriarch to be by his side had not yet left.
Just as Zhou Zeyao was wondering, Chen Yang suddenly produced several items in his hand.
One of the cinnabar brushes immediately caught all of Zhou Zeyao's attention.
Zhou Zeyao's hands trembled slightly as he took the cinnabar brush, and he said with a trembling voice, "This cinnabar brush, did you buy it at the auction?"
The carvings on the cinnabar brush were clearly not of the current style. Zhou Zeyao could clearly see the patterns, which were of that era's style!
Chen Yang nodded slowly and lowered his voice: "That's right, the organizer is called Zhenbao Pavilion. They have another name, Tianji Linglong!"
As soon as the four words "Tianji Linglong" were uttered, Zhou Zeyao was instantly stunned.
That forgotten memory immediately rushed into Zhou Zeyao's mind!
Although Zhou Zeyao's memory was somewhat damaged, after Zhou Zeyao completely disappeared from the Zhou family, his spiritual power began to recover bit by bit.
Zhou Zeyao did indeed remember something about this Tianji Linglong.
Zhou Zeyao exclaimed in shock, "They have been passed down for so long? They are indeed a group of mysterious people."
Chen Yang immediately shook his head: "It shouldn't be inherited. The person in charge is a woman named Rong Yuqing. She thought I was an ancient martial artist, which is why she revealed so many things to me."
If Tianji Linglong was an inherited organization, Rong Yuqing wouldn't have said that they wanted to re-establish the name of Tianji Linglong at that time.
Furthermore, Chen Yang noticed that among the staff he encountered at the villa, although many were martial artists, only Rong Yuqing had the aura of an ancient martial artist.
After a brief pause, Zhou Zeyao reacted, "Not inherited? Then it has awakened!"
Then Chen Yang told Zhou Zeyao everything that had happened to him.
Especially when he talked about the problems he discovered while fighting with two ancient martial artists.
After listening to Chen Yang's account, Zhou Zeyao tapped the table lightly, his eyes fixed on Chen Yang. After a long while, he said, "Have you noticed something?"
"You've encountered too many ancient martial artists recently."
"Not just in the southwest, but even in Modu, you've encountered such ancient martial artists!"
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zeyao with some confusion.
Zhou Zeyao's speech slowed down, and he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something very important.
"The change of this era, the millennia-long scheme is very likely for today."
Chen Yang gradually understood the meaning of his words. However, the most important thing now was another matter: "What are your thoughts on the Divine Venerable's tomb? Do you want to go together?"
Regarding ancient martial artists, Chen Yang naturally wanted to bring Zhou Zeyao along.
After all, Zhou Zeyao understood ancient martial arts better than he did.
Zhou Zeyao directly rolled his eyes: "Divine Venerable's tomb... Do you know what realm a Divine Venerable is?"
Chen Yang said directly, "Weren't you a Divine Venerable in your past life? Your Tree Tomb seemed pretty easy to get into!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zeyao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhou Zeyao looked at Chen Yang with embarrassment and explained, "You're thinking too much. My Tree Tomb was called my tomb, but didn't you notice? It was more of a place of inheritance."
"Besides, the Tree Tomb wasn't even completed at the time, and many formations weren't set up. If the formations had been set up, do you really think anyone could have gotten in?"
"Although I don't know what kind of existence the Divine Venerable's tomb that Rong Yuqing mentioned is, if there were no dangers at all, why would she have invited you?"
Chen Yang naturally understood Zhou Zeyao's meaning.
If there were no dangers, Rong Yuqing would not have sought him out.
Chen Yang said helplessly, "That's why I called you here! If we go together, I'll feel more at ease."
Facing Chen Yang's invitation, Zhou Zeyao immediately showed a wry smile: "It's difficult to handle things on the Zhou family's side. If I'm missing for too long, the people in the Zhou family will become suspicious."
Going to explore the Divine Venerable's tomb, not to mention the dangers within, the treasures inside would surely not be bad.
But given Zhou Zeyao's current identity, he couldn't just leave.
Chen Yang chuckled. When Zhou Zeyao arrived, Chen Yang had already thought of a way for him: "When I came to Modu, didn't you say that the Zhou family is currently fully investigating clues about the Xuantian Cave Mansion? You can just say you found some clues, right?"
"As for the person who has been following you, I'll help you lure them away then."
Seeing Chen Yang's earnest invitation, Zhou Zeyao was naturally tempted.
However, after a few more words, Zhou Zeyao realized that even Chen Yang didn't know when the action would take place!
Chen Yang did not expect Zhou Zeyao to be so anxious and could only say with a wry smile, "Don't be in a hurry! Since you've agreed, I'll call Rong Yuqing now."
In front of Zhou Zeyao, Chen Yang made a call to Rong Yuqing.
When the call was connected, Chen Yang said directly, "I agree to the matter you mentioned, but I want double the reward."
Upon hearing this, Rong Yuqing immediately reacted, "Chen Yang, you told this matter to someone else? Is it reliable?"
Chen Yang said with a light smile, "Of course it's reliable. Heavenly Venerable inheritance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang heard the shocked sound from the other end of the phone.
After a long while, Rong Yuqing's voice came through again.
"Okay, but it can only be the two of you. Any more, and you'll have to split it yourselves."
Rong Yuqing finally managed to suppress her inner shock, but the Heavenly Venerable inheritance kept echoing in her mind.
Rong Yuqing didn't even clearly hear what Chen Yang said next.
It wasn't until Chen Yang called her name twice that Rong Yuqing reacted, "Ah? What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly just now."
Chen Yang had no choice but to repeat what he had just said, "I said I have some personal matters to attend to. After I've dealt with them, we'll go to the Divine Venerable's tomb you mentioned."
