Chapter 947 Generosity
The snake demon, now under the control of an old dog, a peak Grandmaster sent by Rong Yuqing, was momentarily stunned. The opponent had attached something to him, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.
It wasn't until they left the vicinity of Nongwu Village and he could no longer sense Chen Yang's presence that the snake demon hurriedly began to plot his escape.
But the moment the thought formed in his mind, the old dog sensed it.
The old dog reached out and patted the snake demon's forehead. "Manager Rong said that if you behave, he can awaken your sentience. If you misbehave, he'll skin you, bone you, and sell you by the pound!"
The snake demon looked at the curved saber in the old dog's hand, on the verge of tears. In the end, he could only shrink back submissively.
When Chen Yang returned to Qingzhou City with the ancient tree, he found that someone was already waiting for him at the villa.
To be precise, it was a group of people.
Fei Zilin, Fei Zijin, Zhuo Zehan, and Wu Hanyu sat respectfully on both sides.
After Chen Yang returned, he first greeted them, then, under their shocked gazes, placed the ancient tree's main body in the courtyard.
Although the ancient tree had been refined into a magical artifact, it still retained its original appearance.
"Am I... seeing things? That big tree is a tree demon!"
Zhuo Zehan was dumbfounded.
Even in those bygone days, no one had ever done such a thing.
Chen Yang clapped his hands, looking at the masterpiece before him with great satisfaction.
With the ancient tree to guard the estate, and the few peak Grandmasters staying behind, security was greatly enhanced.
After arranging everything, Chen Yang turned to Fei Zilin and said, "I originally planned to find you after things were settled, but I didn't expect you to come here first."
"By the way, how did you know I lived here?"
Chen Yang hadn't told them where he was.
"Haha, with your reputation, Brother Chen, do we need to inquire?"
"There is an elder, Old Master Hong San, in Qingzhou City who has helped us a lot. After knowing we had met Brother Chen, he told us the location of the villa."
Fei Zilin briefly spoke of Old Master Hong San's admiration for Chen Yang before explaining the reason for his visit.
The Fei family, along with the Zhuo and Wu families, had no descendants left in the present day.
The Zhuo and Wu families were annihilated in the wars hundreds of years ago.
Although a few descendants of the Fei family survived, they all fled overseas.
The four of them had initially intended to re-establish their family business in Qingzhou City, but they couldn't even establish a business, let alone adapt to the current way of life.
If it weren't for Old Master Hong San's constant help, they would have had to resort to robbery or live on the streets.
After listening, Chen Yang understood. These four wanted to serve as patrons in the villa.
With the addition of these four peak Grandmasters, the security of the villa was beyond doubt. Even if the entire Xuantian Cave Mansion came, Chen Yang didn't believe they could destroy the villa.
But these four were also peak Grandmasters!
If they were to reside under his roof, it would be fine if they had no ulterior motives, but what if they did?
Fei Zilin seemed to have noticed Chen Yang's concern and quickly said, "We learned from Old Master Hong San that there are many rules for martial artists nowadays, and those War Gods are in charge."
"To be honest, we were also a bit lost after we woke up."
"Martial artists have always been free-spirited, but times have changed, and coupled with the great changes in our families, we had to make some choices."
"Although the strength of a peak Grandmaster is great, it is not invincible. We only wish to protect ourselves."
"And you can rest assured, since we are here, we will restrain ourselves."
Fei Zilin's words had lowered his stance to the extreme.
A peak Grandmaster could casually join any family, even Old Master Hong San's, and would never have to worry about sustenance or even develop themselves.
They might even end up controlling the resources of their host.
However, the Fei family had been like this in Boyang Dao back then, with many families depending on them, the Zhuo and Wu families being among the most prominent.
Fei Zilin understood the implications of this better than anyone.
If they were to depend on someone, it should be the strongest.
Chen Yang's strength was immense, he had connections with the mysterious Celestial Venerable and War Gods, and he was recommended by Old Master Hong San.
After a moment's thought, they all agreed to this idea.
Not to mention... everything they had seen since arriving at this place.
A Grandmaster-level tiger-cat beast scurrying around the estate.
Three unknown peak Grandmaster auras observing their every move from beneath their feet.
The steward who entertained them in the main hall was also a peak Grandmaster.
There was also an old man, a peak Grandmaster, who chatted with them.
He always gave them a dangerous aura.
Not to mention the various formations that surrounded the entire mountain.
To be able to depend on a powerful figure like Chen Yang!
It was a rare opportunity!
Although they had initially expected to be treated as honored guests by Chen Yang, they now found that Chen Yang did not seem to be lacking in peak Grandmaster experts. They did not regret their decision; instead, they became even more excited.
Chen Yang chuckled and nodded, "You can come if you wish."
"However, I must make one thing clear: although there aren't many rules here, each one is extremely important."
"If you truly break a rule, the War Gods won't need to act..."
The subtle killing intent in Chen Yang's eyes immediately put the four on alert.
They could feel that Chen Yang was not joking at all.
If that time came, Chen Yang would definitely act!
"Since the four of you have come with sincerity, I, Chen Yang, will also show my sincerity."
As Chen Yang spoke, he took out four bottles of elixirs from his Tree Mound Space necklace.
"You should be aware of the current situation. It is extremely difficult to break through to the peak Grandmaster realm. Although these four bottles of elixirs cannot further improve your strength, they can clear any hidden injuries, ailments, or impurities within the body."
When Chen Yang produced these four bottles of elixirs, Fei Zilin, Fei Zijin, Zhuo Zehan, and Wu Hanyu were truly dumbfounded.
Elixirs to clear hidden ailments?
Such elixirs were rare even in their time.
Nowadays, their value had increased by an immeasurable amount.
The four had just woken up, and their bodies were filled with the weariness of age. They had intended to ask Old Master Hong San to help them find such elixirs on the market, but due to lack of funds, they had already planned how to work for him.
Little did they expect that such things did not even exist in the market at all...
Now, with a wave of his hand, Chen Yang was giving them elixirs by the bottle!
