Chapter 987 Looking for the Wrong Person
Upon hearing the introduction, the cold sweat immediately broke out on Chen Xing's third uncle's forehead.
He wiped it away with his thick arm, his voice tense, "I knew it, why does the name Chen Yang sound so familiar? So it's this guy!"
"You didn't get discovered by Chen Yang when you secretly used your spiritual power to spectate last time?"
The demon beast deep within the divine mountain snorted, "What a joke? I was quite far from where they were fighting. Even the strongest spiritual power wouldn't be able to detect me."
"However, it is indeed an extraordinary opportunity that the junior of your clan has become Chen Yang's junior brother!"
...
Chen Yang was unaware that the demon beasts within the divine mountain knew him very well.
After waiting for Chen Xing, Chen Yang immediately led everyone away from the mountain range.
As soon as they exited the mountain range, Chen Yang saw Gong Chengchun, who had been waiting at the periphery.
"Since you've got what you wanted, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"If the demon beast that stole your thing comes out, I won't help you deal with it."
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, Gong Chengchun chuckled sheepishly, "Haha, Daoist friend Chen is joking. I was completely caught off guard when that guy stole my treasure before!"
"With this lesson learned, I naturally won't let him succeed again."
Seeing that Chen Yang had female companions with him, Gong Chengchun then asked, "Daoist friend Chen, do you have time to talk?"
The two found a quieter spot around the mountain range, and Chen Yang asked directly, "May I know what advice you have for me?"
Gong Chengchun scratched his head awkwardly, "Cough cough, it's not anything particularly important. I just want to understand the current situation in the outside world."
Since waking up, Gong Chengchun had been focusing on recovering his strength. Although he had some understanding of the outside world, it was not much.
When he saw Chen Yang just now, Gong Chengchun felt that Chen Yang must understand the current situation better than himself.
Moreover, Chen Yang had helped him out so much!
When Gong Chengchun first came out, he had indeed considered turning around and leaving.
But after careful consideration, if he could get more information from Chen Yang, that would be even better.
Chen Yang smiled lightly, "What I know is not as much as you think."
"If you want to buy information, I can recommend a place for you. Have you heard of Tian Ji Ling Long?"
Gong Chengchun's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Yang with disbelief, "Of course, I've heard of Tian Ji Ling Long. I even attended their auctions before. Does Daoist friend Chen mean that Tian Ji Ling Long's legacy is still around? This... how many years has it been! How is that possible!"
Chen Yang did not answer this question but said directly, "The current person in charge of Tian Ji Ling Long is called Rong Yuqing. Besides auctions, they also do some information exchange. They are in Modu."
The reason Chen Yang wanted to lead Gong Chengchun to Tian Ji Ling Long was that previously, in order to better investigate the traces of ancient martial artists in the vicinity, Chen Yang had engaged in other collaborations with Tian Ji Ling Long besides the medicinal pills.
Information sharing was one of the most important areas of expansion.
Tian Ji Ling Long did not have many personnel at the moment. Although each person was very strong, when it came to intelligence gathering, it still required mature organizations like Tian Yi Dian. Rong Yuqing, although she had been tricked by Chen Yang last time, eventually agreed to this strategic cooperation in order to obtain Chen Yang's other assistance. After all... medicinal pills and the refinement of spatial treasures, either one, were things that Tian Ji Ling Long desperately needed.
"I've been awake for so long, and I didn't even know such important news. If I hadn't met Daoist friend Chen today, I don't know how long I would have been fumbling around alone!"
Gong Chengchun did not feel too regretful.
From the beginning of his cultivation to his later slumber and awakening, Gong Chengchun had experienced too many things.
What allowed him to survive all along? Was it his powerful talent? An invincible background?
Neither!
The most important point was to keep a low profile!
Caution ensures a thousand years of sailing.
Playing it safe is the truth.
When the two parted ways again, Chen Yang and Gong Chengchun also exchanged contact information.
"We are both ancient martial artists, and you've helped me so much. If you ever need anything from me in the future, don't hesitate to say so!"
Gong Chengchun was now completely convinced that Chen Yang, like himself, was an ancient martial artist.
Not only did he know about Boyang Dao, but he also had connections with Tian Ji Ling Long. If he wasn't an ancient martial artist, what else could he be?
Chen Yang was very satisfied with this statement.
As long as his identity as an ancient martial artist was confirmed, it would be more convenient to interact with ancient martial artists in the future.
As Chen Xing had not yet transformed and was still very large, Chen Yang and the others were delayed at the airport for several hours, finally finding a cargo plane arranged by Wu Feng.
As soon as they returned to Qingzhou City, Chen Yang was surrounded.
Not only were people from Yangyangyang Company there, but also people from Tian Yi Dian and Jiang Huainan, and even the Southwest Prefecture had sent Jiang Luo.
Jiang Huainan and Ji Jingyi's people had clearly communicated before arriving.
Their purpose in seeking Chen Yang this time was to ask Chen Yang to open up the Zhou family's local enterprises.
Previously, these enterprises were all in the hands of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family was unwilling to release much profit.
Now that the leader had become Chen Yang, they wanted Chen Yang, the new leader, to re-establish some rules.
However, Chen Yang did not intervene at all this time.
"Although the Zhou family's assets have been taken over by Yangyangyang Company, I am only a security manager at Yangyangyang Company. When it comes to business matters, you have truly come to the wrong person this time."
Chen Yang did not want to waste time arguing with these two people anymore.
He still had no leads on the spatial treasures he had promised Rong Yuqing.
Since the destruction of the Zhou family, Zhou Zeyao had left Qingzhou City and gone to Feiyan Mountain in the Southwest, and he had not yet returned.
Chen Yang had been delaying the matter of medicinal pills for too long, and it was time to focus on refining them.
Even the matter of medicinal wine had been handed over to others by Chen Yang.
He was naturally incapable of managing all sorts of business affairs.
However, Chen Yang did meet with Wei Zhenru in person.
After all, the matter Wei Zhenru was investigating was what Chen Yang cared about most... the Zhou family's secret bases overseas.
And the whereabouts of Zhou Qingming, Zhou Wenqun, and others.
"Those guys are tough, but my people have found some clues. I sent people to scout yesterday, and as soon as there's news, it will be reported back immediately!"
Wei Zhenru, of course, knew how much Chen Yang valued this matter. However, the Zhou family's secret bases were top-secret.
He couldn't pry information out of those martial artists, so he could only approach it from the flow of funds.
"Oh? You mean you couldn't get any information from the Zhou family martial artists?"
Chen Yang finished speaking and then slapped his forehead. He seemed to have forgotten someone very important!
