Chapter 1299 Heading Forth
Those who had already entered the conference room were also stunned by the scene before them.
Lin Sange, upon seeing the head of the Zhuge family whom he had met not long ago, immediately went over to greet him.
"Oh my, let me introduce you all. This is Lin Sange, Master Lin, who has been making quite a stir in Modu recently!"
The Zhuge family head did not hesitate to introduce Lin Sange to the people around him.
These were prominent families and sects with some ties to the Zhuge family.
After Lin Sange cupped his hands in greeting to everyone, he chuckled, "Modu is just a small martial arts hall; how could it possibly be making a stir?"
"Speaking of which, today is truly a gathering of heroes!"
"Many old seniors I had only heard of, but never met, are all here today."
Lin Sange knew of Chen Yang's strength. The moment Chen Yang greeted him, he came over.
However, he truly hadn't expected Chen Yang to have such influence.
Even some of the older generation of martial artists who had been in seclusion had come out of it.
"What is the matter that has called everyone here today? Senior Zhuge, have you managed to find out?"
Lin Sange had been busy handling matters in Modu, and the last time he saw Zhou Zeyao, he had helped find a few people.
He had not noticed anything unusual happening in the outside world.
He had initially thought Chen Yang had been in seclusion cultivating during his absence, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Even the disciples of the Hou family that Chen Yang had taken in earlier had now disappeared and hadn't been seen for a long time!
Chen Yang was a very sentimental person, Lin Sange knew this well.
Yet, Chen Yang had not appeared when Old Master Hou passed away.
At the time, Lin Sange had sensed something unusual.
Thinking back now... Chen Yang was probably not just in seclusion cultivating.
The Zhuge family head asked strangely, "Hmm? You actually have no idea?"
"If I recall correctly, isn't your daughter working at the Yangyangyang Company? Didn't she reveal any news to you?"
Everyone knew that Chen Yang had personally intervened when Lin Sange took over the Modu martial arts scene.
They had all thought that Lin Sange and Chen Yang's relationship would be very close.
Unexpectedly, Lin Sange seemed to know very little!
Hearing this question, Lin Sange gave a wry smile, "My daughter... I haven't seen her in a long time."
"The Yangyangyang Company seems to have been very busy lately. Since Boss Chen called personally, I didn't ask too many questions."
Seeing that Lin Sange truly had no clue about the reasons, the Zhuge family head shook his head with a smile, "I've only heard some rumors."
"Did any of you know that those top sects have been sending funds to Yangyangyang Company lately?"
...
As everyone sat in small groups discussing, the conference room door slowly opened.
"Master Chen, long time no see!"
Someone said this, and everyone turned to look at the entrance.
The person who arrived was none other than Chen Yang.
However, it wasn't just Chen Yang.
Two women were accompanying him.
After Chen Yang waved hello to a few familiar faces, he took the main seat.
There weren't many people present.
This was because the prominent families and sects Chen Yang had summoned were all powerful entities.
Families with slightly weaker strength were not even on Chen Yang's invitation list.
After everyone was seated, Chen Yang scanned the room and noticed a few empty seats. He said softly, "Since they didn't come, they will have nothing to do with future matters."
With that, Chen Yang beckoned to Su Ya.
Su Ya immediately handed him the prepared documents.
Chen Yang opened the first page and slowly read, "Xuantian Cave Mansion, currently half of the funds have not been paid."
The head of Xuantian Cave Mansion, who was seated below, changed his expression and was about to speak when Chen Yang continued to read out the names of other sects.
Lin Sange and the others did not understand what Chen Yang was doing.
However, the faces of those who knew about the funding situation were not good.
After finishing reading all the names, Chen Yang tapped the table and smiled, "I personally hope that these funds can be paid as soon as possible."
"If any of you have any questions, you can raise them now."
The head of Xuantian Cave Mansion immediately took the lead and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Chen... such a large amount of funds, my Xuantian Cave Mansion will need some time to prepare."
"However, please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Chen. If Xuantian Cave Mansion truly cannot cover this funding gap, we will sell off our sect's assets and will not let the research stop due to funding issues."
Seeing this, the other sects also voiced their agreement.
At this moment, the people from the other prominent families were stunned.
The individuals present were all Grandmasters!
Especially the head of Xuantian Cave Mansion, who had nearly been killed by Chen Yang before.
Why were they all showing such deference now?
Could it be that Chen Yang had something on them?
Chen Yang smiled with satisfaction, "This is excellent. If the research stops due to funding issues, it will undoubtedly lead to many troubles."
"At that time, even if I, Chen Yang, had three heads and six arms, I might not be able to handle it."
"I hope everyone does not make things difficult for me."
Chen Yang would naturally not make things difficult for those who were willing to cooperate.
After all, the hope land already had their descendants among the human race.
With the tense situation on the front lines of the Earth Realm, Chen Yang did not want to be too distracted by the rear of the Human Realm.
Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Chen Yang distributed the complete资料 he had prepared to everyone present.
Unfamiliar names appeared before everyone, but no one spoke.
Everyone silently finished reading the documents.
However, the waves of shock in their hearts were hard to conceal.
Lin Sange finally knew where Hou Qingzhu had gone, and also understood why these sects were so... fearful of Chen Yang.
At this moment, Chen Yang was likely someone they could no longer look up to.
A member of a prominent family excitedly asked, "So, if we also contribute funds, can we go to the Earth Realm?"
If they could cultivate a strong individual, their family could prosper for another hundred years!
This was a ticket to extend their family's lifespan!
No matter how much money it cost, they were willing.
Chen Yang shook his head and smiled at this question, "Currently, only humans with talent."
"As for the funding, the more the better, of course."
"Of course, you also don't need to worry about cultivation issues."
"Even for clan members without talent, as long as they can guard the passage, the hope land can provide a student spot."
Chen Yang naturally knew the intentions of these prominent families, and this was precisely what Chen Yang wanted to guard against!
Members of prominent families could cultivate, but it had to be under his watchful eye!
As soon as these words were spoken, many people's expressions became grim. Only then did they understand what Chen Yang's plan was truly about!
