Chapter 838 Support
"And then there's Zhou Zeyao's matter."
Midway through his sentence, the Zhou family head's expression immediately turned grim again.
The Zhou family head knew very well that Zhou Zeyao definitely had secrets.
When Zhou Zeyao said he had given one of his lives to the Zhou family, he was undoubtedly referring to the incident at the southwestern mine.
Although Zhou Zeyao had successfully advanced to the peak of Grandmaster, according to reports, Zhou Zeyao's various actions in Modu indicated that he likely had inner demons.
In such a situation, it was highly probable that he would become fixated on certain issues.
Saying that the Zhou family deserved to die, while uncomfortable for anyone in the Zhou family to hear, also highlighted a very important point: it was Zhou Zeyao who had saved people.
Otherwise, the Zhou family's losses this time could have been even greater.
"Since Zhou Zeyao returned from the southwest, apart from some verbal resistance towards the Zhou family, there haven't been any other issues."
"He now has inner demons, so some matters cannot be pursued too deeply."
The Zhou family head's gaze fell upon Zhou Qingming, his sharp eyes piercing.
Zhou Qingming had never expected the family head to possess such a gaze one day.
Understanding the meaning behind the family head's words, Zhou Qingming could only nod slowly.
However, the thought that all these matters would eventually fall upon him made Zhou Qingming feel a pang of bitterness.
If only he had learned from their ancestor and found a quiet place to cultivate.
Just as the Zhou family began to take action, Chen Yang had already left Qingzhou City.
Chen Yang did not intend to personally search for Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshan, who had left earlier. They could have gone anywhere, or even returned directly to their Xuantian Cave Abode.
Chen Yang's first destination was Modu for a very simple reason. The previous incident at Yangyang Company in Modu had prevented Chen Yang from rushing there as he had to help the Bronze Tree materialize.
But now that he had emerged from seclusion, Chen Yang already had a list of which Grandmasters in the Modu martial world had participated in the previous siege of Yangyang Company.
However, upon arriving in Modu, Chen Yang did not immediately seek trouble with these individuals. Instead, he first went to the Lin family, specifically to see Lin Sangeng, the head of Modu's First Martial Hall.
Lin Sangeng's health had been recovering since Chen Yang's previous treatment.
During this period, he had instructed his household staff to turn away anyone who came to see him.
But when his daughter, Lin Xichen, burst into his bedroom shouting, he immediately jumped up: "Who did you say was waiting outside?"
"Who else could it be? Chen Yang!"
Upon hearing Chen Yang's name, Lin Sangeng, after quickly throwing on a robe, prepared to head out.
"Master, please be careful, your injuries are not yet healed!"
Lin Sangeng pushed away the person beside him and said anxiously, "Never mind me, never mind me. Quickly bring out that fine Pu'er tea someone gave us last time and brew some."
Before Lin Sangeng could descend, Chen Yang had already gone upstairs.
"Don't bother making tea for me. I have a few things to discuss and then I'll be leaving. I won't be staying long."
As Chen Yang spoke, he had already reached Lin Sangeng's side.
Chen Yang scanned Lin Sangeng with his spiritual power and nodded with satisfaction, "Your recovery has been quite good during this time."
"Shall we talk inside?"
Lin Sangeng realized that Chen Yang's visit likely meant something important, and he quickly gestured for the people around them to leave.
Although Lin Xichen wanted to stay, Lin Sangeng sternly sent her away.
Chen Yang had already guessed what Lin Xichen had intended to discuss. "I've already spoken to Liu Ran about you wanting to join the company. Wait a while longer. Yangyang Company is currently experiencing some issues. Once they are resolved, it won't be too late for you to come. Besides, you should wait until your father's injuries have fully healed before leaving Modu."
After everyone else had left, Chen Yang finally explained the real reason for his visit to the Lin family.
"Did you know that the martial artists in Modu followed Luo Yanghong of Xuantian Cave Abode to cause trouble for Yangyang Company?"
In response to Chen Yang's question, Lin Sangeng slowly nodded. "I wasn't aware at first. It was Xichen who told me later."
Lin Sangeng's face revealed a bitter smile. "Alas, times have changed. I wonder what benefits that Luo Yanghong offered these people."
However, after speaking, Lin Sangeng immediately realized, "Are you here specifically to deal with these people?"
Chen Yang wouldn't have come to the Lin family for a casual chat without a reason. After much thought, this was the only possibility.
"Some of these martial artists are from Modu's First Martial Hall," Chen Yang said, producing a file.
Lin Sangeng's eyebrows twitched. What surprised him was not just that someone from Modu's First Martial Hall was involved, but even more so, the way Chen Yang had produced the file was something he couldn't comprehend.
The file seemed to have appeared out of thin air!
After recovering from his shock, Lin Sangeng did not take the file but pushed it forward and said solemnly, "No matter who is involved in this matter, I will not shield them. Please tell me if you need any help."
"My life was saved by you. Besides, Luo Yanghong was the one who injured me. If I were to speak up for these people who helped him, I would be a fool."
Lin Sangeng's tone grew indignant as he spoke.
After this severe injury, he had truly seen the true colors of some people. Even if Chen Yang didn't intervene now, once he recovered, he would personally deal with these individuals.
Chen Yang nodded slowly and retrieved the file.
"I don't need help with that. After these matters are resolved, I will need your assistance in reorganizing the Modu martial world."
"Modu's First Martial Hall cannot be allowed to collapse just like that."
Bei Xuan was not currently in Modu, and any incidents that occurred there could not be handled immediately.
While Dong Cang could mobilize Bei Xuan's generals, they were not his own people, and at most, he could only restrain them from causing trouble.
Before Luo Yanghong's appearance, Lin Sangeng of Modu's First Martial Hall had kept these people in check. Although he was injured now, Chen Yang did not believe that these people, without Luo Yanghong's support, would dare to rebel!
Lin Sangeng looked at him incredulously, his mouth agape, and asked in shock, "You mean, you want me to take this opportunity..."
"Have you already dealt with that Luo Yanghong?"
After all, when Lin Sangeng fought Luo Yanghong, he hadn't even probed the latter's true strength before being crippled.
