Chapter 751 Identity
"This Chen Yang fellow, seems a little angry?"
Before Cha Shan's words had even finished, Chen Yang's furious voice boomed, "No one is allowed to come!"
At this moment, Chen Yang was gradually gaining mastery over the full extent of his power. Although he had sustained some injuries in the process, Chen Yang considered it entirely worthwhile.
The Old Ancestor of the Zhou family also sensed that something was amiss. Chen Yang's strength seemed to be steadily increasing.
As a peak Grandmaster with immense combat experience, the Old Ancestor of the Zhou family understood Chen Yang's intentions within moments.
This young man named Chen Yang was actually using him as a sparring partner.
"You, you little bastard, you're truly not acting like a human!" The Old Ancestor of the Zhou family cursed once he realized Chen Yang's plan.
However, this was merely him venting his frustration. To truly deal with Chen Yang was impossible.
In the few exchanges they had, the Old Ancestor of the Zhou family understood that Chen Yang was undoubtedly a top-tier peak Grandmaster.
Before today, he had genuinely never heard of anyone named Chen Yang!
"Heh heh, surnamed Zhou, you wanted to kill me! Now's your chance!"
Killing intent gleamed in Chen Yang's eyes. He couldn't possibly hold back against the martial artists of the Zhou family.
After all, the deep-seated hatred of the Chen family had been Chen Yang's nightmare since childhood!
Every ounce of power the Old Ancestor of the Zhou family exerted was either dodged by Chen Yang's elusive footwork, blocked by Chen Yang, or even endured by Chen Yang without apparent harm.
Fear began to creep into the Old Ancestor of the Zhou family's heart. If this continued, he was destined to lose today, not to mention the two figures not far away who hadn't made a move yet. "Who exactly are you!"
The Old Ancestor of the Zhou family now regretted his decision. He should have gathered two more helpers before making his move.
But in this world, there was no such thing as a pill of regret!
Just as Chen Yang fully grasped the power within him, Zhu Que arrived with members of the Zhu family.
He Fengyun was greatly startled by the sudden appearance of so many martial artists and quickly called out to Zhou Zeyao beside him, "Damn it! So many Grandmasters, stop them!"
As he spoke, the蛊虫 (gu worms) in He Fengyun's hand erupted.
The martial artists of the Zhu family were shocked and terrified to find themselves surrounded by so many蛊虫 upon arriving at the mine.
"It's蛊虫! The Zhou family has a蛊师!"
Old Master Zhu gritted his teeth, staring at the mysterious蛊师 with immense anger.
He knew that the Zhu family had been in Diannan for so long and maintained a certain connection with all the蛊师s.
Yet, the Zhou family had only been here for a few months and had managed to recruit such a powerful蛊师. This was completely beyond Old Master Zhu's expectations!
Although Zhu Que knew that the current蛊师 was formidable, her gaze was first drawn to Chen Yang in the distance.
Just as the two sides were about to engage, Zhou Zeyao hurriedly shouted, "My people! Don't attack!"
Upon seeing Zhou Zeyao, the Zhu family members, except for Zhu Que, were all stunned and confused.
The person before them was the person in charge of the Zhou family's mine, an absolute enemy of the Zhu family, yet he was suddenly calling them "my people."
Zhou Zeyao naturally noticed the unusual expressions on their faces. He quickly thought for a moment and then said, "An old brute from the Zhou family wanted to kill me! If not for Chen Yang and this蛊师's help, I would have been dead already!"
"Zhu Que, did you bring them here to help Chen Yang?"
Amidst the confused gazes of the crowd, Zhu Que nodded. After glancing sideways at Zhou Zeyao, she immediately charged towards Chen Yang.
However, she was immediately stopped by Zhou Zeyao.
"Chen Yang said that no one is allowed to go and help. He wants to deal with the opponent alone!"
By this point, everyone had realized that for some reason, Zhou Zeyao was on the same side as Chen Yang.
Logically, this was what they should be pondering, but seeing the battle between Chen Yang and the Old Ancestor of the Zhou family left them all dumbfounded.
"This is truly the most powerful battle I've ever witnessed!"
"Who is this person fighting Chen Yang?"
"Didn't they say? If I recall correctly, the mine does have a peak Grandmaster from the Zhou family, but I've never seen this person before!"
The Zhu family's records did contain information about peak Grandmasters of the Zhou family.
However, individuals at that level rarely made public appearances.
The Zhu family only had information on a few of them. As for the oldest peak Grandmaster of the Zhou family present, there was no information at all.
"Chen Yang is truly strong. Isn't he around Zhu Que's age this year?" Someone's remark suddenly silenced everyone.
Every Grandmaster present was significantly older than Chen Yang, by at least ten years.
Yet... Chen Yang's strength far surpassed theirs.
This instilled a sense of inferiority in their hearts.
Old Master Zhu immediately pulled Zhou Zeyao aside. While everyone was focused on the battle between Chen Yang and the Old Ancestor of the Zhou family, he had to clarify the relationship between Zhou Zeyao and Chen Yang!
"Ahem, I know about Chen Yang's relationship with your Zhu family. As for the matters between us, it was originally a secret, but from today onwards, it will no longer be a secret. This old ancestor from the Zhou family came to the mine to monitor me. I originally intended to coordinate with Chen Yang to deal with the Zhou family, but it seems there's no opportunity now."
Zhou Zeyao's words were quite interesting. While not explicitly stating his relationship with Chen Yang, he clearly informed Old Master Zhu that there was definitely a secret connection between them.
Old Master Zhu frowned as he looked at Zhou Zeyao. While Zhou Zeyao had never been a traditional martial artist in the past, he would never have spoken to him like this before.
Could it be that Zhou Zeyao's identity had been exposed, and that's why...
"Besides these Zhou family members at the mine, does anyone else know your identity?"
Old Master Zhu's sudden question made Zhou Zeyao immediately alert.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Zeyao was actually unsure what information the Zhou family had obtained to confirm his defection.
"If, and I say if, the Zhu family were to take responsibility for today's conflict, would you be able to return safely?" Old Master Zhu said, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
