Chapter 1092 Embedding the Formation
A'anda also showed an embarrassed smile upon hearing this.
"No, no, the spiritual stones given before are enough for a while."
Chen Yang ignored A'anda and said to the two ancient martial artists protecting him, "You two can go back first."
After the two ancient martial artists left, Chen Yang turned to A'anda beside him. His eyes hardened as he asked, "Have you cleaned up the things belonging to True Master Blackbone?"
Facing Chen Yang's sudden question, A'anda immediately became nervous.
Young Master Chen had never explicitly told him about the death of True Master Blackbone. He had only asked him to handle some items, and had never even mentioned whose they were.
Now he was suddenly mentioning True Master Blackbone's name, what did that mean?
Was he admitting that he killed True Master Blackbone?
Seeing A'anda's hesitant demeanor, Chen Yang frowned. The items belonging to True Master Blackbone should have been dealt with quickly in the black market.
"Young Master Chen, those things really belonged to True Master Blackbone? Was that day..."
A'anda stammered out the question, intending to hint to Young Master Chen. After all, he still didn't know about True Master Blackbone's death!
But he didn't expect Chen Yang to say nonchalantly, "Of course, they were his. He's dead. I had Wu Min do it."
"I didn't tell you before, I thought you could guess it yourself. It seems I was overthinking."
"Your brain isn't very smart!"
"When will those things be dealt with?"
A'anda opened his mouth but found himself unable to explain clearly...
Yes, if he's dead, he's dead. Why should he dwell on these things?
Young Master Chen had entrusted the items to him for disposal, which clearly showed his trust in him.
"They've already been sent to the Forget Worry Sea Domain. The closest black market in the Forget Worry Sea Domain will be opening soon. It will take about five or six days for the round trip."
"Except for the cultivation techniques, other things won't fetch much spiritual stones. Has Young Master Chen run out of spiritual stones?"
A'anda couldn't think of any other reason for Young Master Chen to inquire about the progress of this matter besides needing spiritual stones.
Chen Yang nodded slowly, "If the City Lord of Demonic Bone City falls out with us, then setting aside whether business can be done, we might even have to fight."
"Spiritual stones are like flowing water. We must make plans in advance."
Though he said this, Chen Yang was actually thinking about whether he should send True Master Blackbone's items to the City Lord's mansion. However, since they had already been sent to the Forget Worry Sea Domain, it was too late to turn back.
After the two bought some local specialties on the street, A'anda looked at Chen Yang with a conflicted expression. He really didn't understand what Young Master Chen was thinking.
Local specialties of Demonic Bone City... to be given to the City Lord's mansion?
How inconsiderate!
"If you have extra spiritual stones, give them directly to him. I don't have any anyway," Chen Yang said, seeing A'anda's expression.
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, A'anda's face immediately lit up with a smile, "That's great. The City Lord has been away for so long, he must miss the things in the city terribly."
After speaking, A'anda mentally grumbled to himself. He dared not say it directly to Chen Yang.
When they parted ways, Chen Yang asked A'anda to pick him up in the evening.
A'anda heard this and knew he couldn't escape. He could only nod helplessly.
Upon returning to his temporary residence, Chen Yang was immediately surrounded by everyone as soon as he entered.
Bei Xuan, stroking the newly forged staff in his hand, said stubbornly, "If we have to, we'll just tear down the City Lord's mansion. These people are setting up a Hongmen Banquet! We can't go!"
When the City Lord's voice had echoed above Demonic Bone City earlier, Bei Xuan and the others knew that with their strength, it would be difficult to deal with this City Lord.
It would be better to just flip the table!
Beside them, Cang Jian, Dao Zhi, and Old Monster Zhang had ashen faces.
Before they met Chen Yang, their plan was to cause as much chaos as possible.
Now that they had a chance to kill the City Lord of Demonic Bone City, they naturally wouldn't let it go.
Seeing everyone so agitated, Chen Yang quickly raised his hands to calm them down, "Everyone, everyone! Please calm down!"
"We are here to establish a safe haven. Even if it's not safe, we need to establish a foothold in the mortal realm."
"Didn't we receive news earlier that a group of martial artists wanted to enter and break through?"
"We are not just fighting for ourselves, but also for the martial artists behind us."
"It's certainly possible to fight to our heart's content, but what about afterwards?"
Chen Yang's words immediately calmed everyone down.
That's right!
The martial artists were not just them. Newcomers would continue to enter.
And most of them wouldn't directly enter the Foundation Establishment stage.
The safety of these people was all on their shoulders.
"Besides, this City Lord... I feel something is not right. He is a Harmonious Core Venerable. When I tested him just now, he made the most suitable move. Yet, he let others act. Especially after taking action, he made the entire city hear that speech."
"I suspect he won't act rashly."
"So, my safety this time should be alright."
"Everyone, cultivate here with peace of mind. When all of us have the strength of high-level Foundation Establishment, be it the seventh or eighth layer, that will be the time to get revenge!"
With Chen Yang's persuasion, everyone's mood stabilized a bit.
Chen Yang set up a few small formations in the room, and Chen Shu beside him wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The blood energy in this formation is already at its limit. If it continues to be injected, it might explode!"
Chen Shu looked at Chen Yang and said word for word, "Promise me one thing, you must run as fast as you can!"
Chen Yang had been fiddling with the small formations he made all afternoon. When Chen Shu was asked to inject blood energy, Chen Shu didn't understand what it was.
But after injecting... Chen Shu completely understood.
It was a self-detonating formation.
Of course, it was the blood energy within the formation that would self-detonate, not Chen Yang.
Although the power of a self-detonating formation was formidable, no one could be sure if it would be effective against a Harmonious Core Venerable.
He was afraid that Chen Yang would try to gamble.
Others might not dare, but such things were too normal for Chen Yang.
Chen Shu had seen Chen Yang's cautiousness as the most cautious he had ever seen, but sometimes his near-crazy gambles were also hard to accept.
Chen Yang chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just for self-preservation. If this thing is actually used, it means there's no room for negotiation. I'll definitely run away immediately. As for taking the life of a Harmonious Core Venerable, I know my own strength."
