Chapter 1049 Legacy
"A peak Grandmaster, able to break through this blood mist, is Zhang Hua really this strong?"
Although Zhang Laoguai's identity was special, the martial artists in the ancient battlefield were all of his generation.
They still remembered what had happened back then.
"Zhang Laoguai, when did you get so strong? The last time you fought the Three Emperors Buddha, I thought you lost. It looks like you've been hiding your strength all along!"
Someone among them was familiar with Zhang Laoguai and had been present during the conflict outside Qingzhou City last time, so they couldn't help but tease him.
However, Zhang Laoguai didn't reply. The Confucian scholar had already noticed what Zhang Laoguai was holding.
"Zhang Hua! Is the Danqing supreme treasure truly in your hands?"
Not everyone in the Confucian school believed that Zhang Hua had taken the supreme treasure of the Confucian Danqing lineage back then.
The person in front of them was one of those who didn't believe it.
But now, the supreme treasure of the Confucian Danqing lineage was in Zhang Hua's hands.
He could see it clearly!
Zhang Laoguai smiled and said, "I entered this space this time precisely to retrieve this item. I've also found the corpse of the Master of the Danqing lineage."
"I'll return it all to you!"
As he spoke, Zhang Laoguai took out everything and threw it directly to the Confucian scholar.
After hastily catching the items, the scholar looked at Zhang Laoguai somewhat strangely.
The items were real...
But before they could exchange more words, the blood mist monster charged directly at Zhang Laoguai.
The blood mist monster was clearly more agitated by the sudden intrusion of Zhang Laoguai.
Chen Yang, who had already left the mountain range, could only grit his teeth and push forward as he sensed the clashing auras behind him.
Although many monsters had been drawn into the ancient battlefield by their fight, Chen Yang had encountered several peak Grandmasters on his way out.
If Chen Shu hadn't been protecting him, Chen Yang would likely have been in grave danger.
Just as Chen Yang and Chen Shu left the mountain range, they encountered several ancient martial artists head-on.
The two sides immediately stopped, their eyes locking.
There were four ancient martial artists, and despite being outnumbered, they dared not act rashly.
The four of them had intended to leave through the sea, but they had nearly been buried by the monsters in the sea.
Turning back and heading towards the mountains, they encountered two unfamiliar martial artists.
Although Chen Yang was weak internally, he appeared no different on the outside, supported by Chen Shu's blood qi.
Just as the tension between the two sides was escalating, Chen Shu spoke, "Want to fight? Come if you're not afraid of death!"
Chen Yang was startled by this statement. He looked at Chen Shu in shock, truly not knowing when Chen Shu had become so "arrogant."
The ancient martial artists on the other side chuckled upon hearing this and said, "We can't joke about that. Goodbye!"
With that, they quickly led the martial artists behind them away.
After they left, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid they would have actually attacked?"
"These ancient martial artists are not to be trifled with!"
Chen Shu rolled his eyes. "If they attack, they attack. Are we afraid of them?"
"Looking at how they were rushing away, they must have encountered something before meeting us."
"Besides, didn't you teach me this? Didn't you always tell me that if you put on a stern face and speak harshly, you can scare away many people?"
Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "It's my fault, I guess."
The Heavenly Physician Hall's actions overseas had offended many people's interests. Chen Yang had done so because he didn't want the other members of the Heavenly Physician Hall to encounter too much trouble.
He hadn't expected Chen Shu to learn this as well.
After parting ways with the ancient martial artists, Chen Yang soon met up with Bei Xuan and the others.
Learning that there were still a few days before the passage closed, Chen Yang decided to leave first.
Upon hearing this, Bei Xuan asked Chen Yang with some curiosity what had happened.
Chen Yang hadn't been gone for long, so why was he suddenly returning?
This was completely unlike Chen Yang's usual behavior!
"I sustained some injuries and need to go back to prepare some medicinal ingredients."
Chen Yang didn't elaborate to avoid worrying Bei Xuan.
Bei Xuan said helplessly, "If I had known, you should have stayed with us. You could have cultivated here for longer."
Chen Yang didn't chat much with Bei Xuan and the others. He needed to return to prepare elixirs to suppress the death qi within him.
Arriving at the original entrance of the passage, Chen Yang looked at the significantly smaller entrance without hesitation and rushed out.
However, the moment he rushed out, Chen Yang felt a hint of danger.
After Chen Yang saw the situation before him clearly, he almost retreated immediately.
"Wait! It's Chen Yang!"
As a familiar voice rang out, the martial artists who were about to attack Chen Yang forcefully retracted their inner energy.
The Abbot of the Zen Buddhist Monastery looked at Chen Yang and the slowly appearing Chen Shu and frowned, asking, "Why did you come out so soon?"
"If I hadn't had sharp eyes, you would have almost died here!"
The Abbot of the Zen Buddhist Monastery was not only maintaining the spatial passage but also preventing monsters from escaping from within.
They had already killed several monsters, and Chen Yang had almost become one of them!
"Something happened. I had a confrontation with the Holy Moon Divine Venerable and we both sustained injuries. It's not suitable for me to continue cultivating inside anymore. The strong spiritual energy is not beneficial for my injuries."
If it were ordinary injuries, places with more spiritual energy would be more conducive to recovery.
However, Chen Yang's body was being corroded by death qi. Spiritual energy not only healed injuries but could also be used by death qi to strengthen itself.
"Hmm? Holy Moon Divine Venerable? What exactly happened inside?"
The Abbot of the Zen Buddhist Monastery couldn't understand how the Holy Moon Divine Venerable had appeared inside.
Chen Yang couldn't explain the matter clearly in a few words, so he said with a wry smile, "You'll know when they come out. By the way, are there any people from the Sword Sect here?"
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, an elder who had been silent all along slowly spoke, "I am the Sect Master of the Sword Sect. Do you need anything, young friend Chen Yang?"
Chen Yang had not met the Sect Master of the Sword Sect during the previous meeting.
This was his first time seeing him.
The Abbot of the Zen Buddhist Monastery said, "What medicinal ingredients do you need? If the Sword Sect doesn't have them, I'll send someone to find them for you!"
Chen Yang said he was injured, and the Abbot of the Zen Buddhist Monastery hadn't paid much attention at first. But on second thought, what kind of injury would make Chen Yang give up so much spiritual energy to come out?
Chen Yang slowly shook his head and said, "We'll talk about the medicinal ingredients later."
With that said, Chen Yang walked towards the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, holding a stone-like object in his hand.
When the Sect Master of the Sword Sect took the item in confusion, he heard Chen Yang say, "The Grand Elder of the Sword Sect entrusted me to bring out the legacy of the Sword Sect."
