Chapter 836 Secret Report
The seals within the bodies of the three demonic beasts were extremely fragile without the augmentation of heavenly lightning. The moment Chen Yang and Chen Shu combined their efforts to break the seals, all three demonic beasts felt an inexplicable and powerful force slowly extending within them.
The rat excitedly said to Chen Yang, "Boss, I can feel the changes within me. If I'm given some more time, I'll be able to break through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm soon!"
The other two demonic beasts felt the same. Hearing this, Chen Yang did not appear overly excited because, while breaking the seals, he had already discovered another very important matter.
If his earlier thoughts were correct, then he would soon be able to make the warriors of the Heavenly Doctor Hall even more powerful.
"Cultivate well here. Do not come out until you reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm."
After speaking, Chen Yang and Chen Shu left together.
However, upon emerging, they discovered that everyone had already dispersed. The time they had spent breaking the seals had exceeded an entire afternoon.
Knowing that Chen Yang had important matters to attend to, everyone except for the people from the Heavenly Doctor Hall, Xiao Gao, and Zhu Wenwu had already gone to Modu.
It seemed the God of War of the Eastern Cang had some arrangements.
Meanwhile, the news about Yang Yang Yang Company had already reached the Zhou family.
When the head of the Zhou family heard the news, he initially found it difficult to believe. After all, this time it wasn't just their Zhou family that had deployed peak Grandmasters; even the legendary sects had dispatched several of their members.
And the final outcome was this!
More importantly, their Zhou family had lost so many Grandmasters.
"Scoundrels! Utter scoundrels! How many peak Grandmasters do we have, yet we can't even suppress a mere Yang Yang Yang Company!"
"And this Xuan Tian Cave Mansion, we were helping them this time, only to have such a situation arise in the end!"
"Find out everything about the people from Xuan Tian Cave Mansion. If they don't give us an explanation for this, humph!"
During the Zhou family's family meeting, several peak Grandmasters were extremely displeased. When had their Zhou family ever encountered such a situation?
However, the person who had been sitting in the position of the Zhou family patriarch remained silent, with his head bowed.
Zhou Qingming immediately noticed a change in the patriarch's expression. He pounded the table, suppressing the discussions, and then said, "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. Let's first hear the patriarch's thoughts."
"I've already stated it very clearly. The number of Grandmasters and peak Grandmasters on both sides were actually comparable."
"Losing this time is entirely normal. The most important issue here is Zhou Zeyao!"
Zhou Qingming knew that since he had led the team this time and made such a significant mistake, even if the patriarch said nothing, those who had always been at odds with him would seize this opportunity to attack him.
And the only person who could divert attention away from himself was Zhou Zeyao.
Zhou Zeyao and the peak Grandmaster who had been watching him had not returned; they remained in Modu.
However, to Zhou Qingming's surprise, the answer he had hoped to hear did not come from the patriarch's mouth. Instead, he heard another terrifying piece of news.
"What do you mean by that? Zhou Zeyao did the right thing this time. Not only did he save so many people, but he also cleaned up the mess caused by your repeated mistakes!"
At this moment, a cold glint shot from the Zhou family patriarch's eyes, directed at Zhou Qingming.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingming felt utterly bewildered. What had he done wrong for the patriarch to target him so fiercely?
Didn't the family always suppress Zhou Zeyao when he was in the Zhou family?
Why is it like this now...
Zhou Qingming's face flushed and paled, and he momentarily forgot to respond.
"Regardless, make arrangements for the deceased first. I will personally handle the matter of Xuan Tian Cave Mansion. None of you need to worry. No one goes out during this period."
"Zhou Qingming, come with me for a moment."
The Zhou family patriarch said this, turned, and headed back to his study.
After exchanging glances with a few peak Grandmasters with whom he had a good relationship, Zhou Qingming got up and followed.
As the two entered the room, the Zhou family patriarch immediately used his spiritual power to envelop the entire study, ensuring that no one could overhear their conversation.
The Zhou family patriarch directly inquired about another matter: "You previously said that Zhu Wenwu from the Southwest Zhu family did not cripple his internal energy and instead went to Qingzhou City?"
Upon mentioning Zhu Wenwu, Zhou Qingming's face immediately turned ashen.
Earlier, during the meeting, some people had tried to use this matter to attack him.
Fortunately, the Southwest's number one family, the Zhu family, was considered just a small family by all the warriors of the Zhou family.
A peak Grandmaster was naturally less important than the matter of Xuan Tian Cave Mansion.
"Yes, although I don't know what his relationship with Chen Yang is, it's a certainty that this fellow deceived us. As soon as my injuries heal, I will immediately go to the Zhu family!"
The Zhou family patriarch sat in the chair in front of the desk, his gaze deep as he looked at Zhou Qingming and said word by word, "When you went to the Southwest previously, I received some secret reports."
"Do you want to hear them?"
Zhou Qingming looked at the patriarch's expression, which seemed a little off. However, after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what the patriarch intended to say.
Although the situation in the Southwest region was complex, the few powers guarding that area were not particularly strong. If the Zhou family were determined to take that place, it would be a simple matter.
"The patriarch's words are wise."
As soon as Zhou Qingming finished speaking, the Zhou family patriarch said, "All the events that occurred in the Southwest region were caused by one person: the legendary Medical Saint Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Doctor Hall."
"Over the years, rumors about the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Doctor Hall have been flying everywhere."
"This fellow is not only on par with the Four Great God of Wars but also commands a very powerful force. For a time, his prestige was unparalleled, but a few years ago, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, with absolutely no news."
"Have you heard of this matter?"
Zhou Qingming was a little confused why the patriarch was suddenly talking about this person.
However, he immediately nodded and explained, "Of course, I have heard of it. There is no information about how old the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable is or where he came from, but one thing is certain: his medical skills are extremely formidable."
