Chapter 854 The Power of Elixirs
Hou Yuanzhi turned to look at Chen Yang, momentarily lost.
Chen Yang, however, was already shouting at the tiger-cat beast, "That's enough, come back!"
Hearing Chen Yang's call, the tiger-cat beast dismounted from the other's shoulder and returned to Chen Yang's embrace with extreme speed.
After Chen Yang used his internal energy to clean the blood splattered on the tiger-cat beast, he said helplessly, "At most, it was disrespect in words. I'm not some great devil. You're not allowed to do this again."
Hearing this, the tiger-cat beast let out two meows and then used its small tongue to lick the necklace on Chen Yang's neck.
Only then did Chen Yang understand why the tiger-cat beast had attacked.
On his way here, Chen Yang had given the tiger-cat beast a few elixirs.
According to Zhou Zeyao, this tiger-cat beast's bloodline was indeed special, and it was best to feed it some nourishing elixirs.
Others didn't know Chen Yang was an alchemist, but Zhou Zeyao did.
As long as Chen Yang took good care of it, the tiger-cat beast would be able to break through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm before long.
Chen Yang had just tried feeding it a few, and to his surprise, in just over half an hour, the tiger-cat beast had already consumed the power contained within the elixirs.
The tiger-cat beast had injured the person who had spoken disrespectfully to Chen Yang precisely because it wanted Chen Yang to reward it with more elixirs.
Seeing the look in the tiger-cat beast's eyes, Chen Yang could only take out another elixir and feed it.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone watching, the tiger-cat beast swallowed the elixir in one gulp and then curled up on Chen Yang's shoulder to sleep.
When Chen Yang took out that elixir, everyone had seen it clearly.
The medicinal power contained within that elixir was enough to make anyone green with envy.
If such an elixir were put up for auction, it would surely be snatched up by people!
But Chen Yang, this prodigal, was actually using it to feed a demonic beast.
If this demonic beast had any injuries that ordinary methods couldn't cure, and only such high-quality elixirs could save it, then so be it.
But when it ate that elixir, the beast was not only uninjured.
It was in the pink of health!
What a waste of natural resources!
This Chen Yang was truly wasting precious resources!
Everyone's eyes fell on the tiger-cat beast, as if they wanted to pry the elixir from its mouth.
However, when Chen Yang's icy gaze swept over them, everyone retracted their greedy eyes.
At this moment, Hou Yuanzhi had finally come to his senses.
This young man before him, was not just similar to his savior, he was his savior!
The tiger-cat beast was unique.
How long had it been since they parted ways?
Hou Yuanzhi was very familiar with every part of the tiger-cat beast, especially its unusually human-like eyes.
Everything pointed to one fact: the Chen Yang before him was the person who had saved him back then.
"Savior... I never expected this! What a coincidence!" Hou Yuanzhi's voice trembled with excitement.
Lin Sangeng, standing beside him, looked bewildered at this scene.
Logically speaking, these two shouldn't have known each other.
Hou Yuanzhi had left Modu for urgent matters.
When Chen Yang was causing a stir in Modu, Hou Yuanzhi was away.
But now, their conversation sounded more than just like acquaintances, so he asked, "Lord Hou, have you and Brother Chen Yang known each other for a long time?"
Chen Yang nodded slowly and explained, "Actually, we only met not long ago. If I had known you were also coming here, perhaps we would have come together."
After speaking, Chen Yang looked at Hou Yuanzhi again and chuckled, "I helped you back then not for anything in particular, just because I couldn't stand those two."
"Since you are Lin Sangeng's friend, there's no need for such formality between us."
Chen Yang hadn't expected Hou Yuanzhi to repay him in any way when he acted back then.
Now that he knew Hou Yuanzhi had a good relationship with Lin Sangeng, Chen Yang naturally didn't want him to repay him.
However, upon hearing this, Hou Yuanzhi said very solemnly, "Your words, my benefactor, are truly humbling to me!"
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You saved not only me back then, but also my disciple and my granddaughter's lives!"
Although the Hou family was not a single-line inheritance, Hou Qingzhu was the most talented among the younger generation of the Hou family.
If Hou Qingzhu had an accident, the Hou family in the future would likely only become ordinary small families.
Seeing Hou Yuanzhi's resolute stance, Chen Yang could only nod helplessly, "As you wish."
Chen Yang looked at the martial artists in the hall and said word by word, "I say the same thing as before. You have grievances to settle, and I, Chen Yang, will accept them all."
"After today, if anyone uses this matter to stir up trouble, hmph!"
Although Chen Yang didn't finish the last sentence, everyone understood.
Chen Yang had crippled so many Grandmasters overnight, and today he had easily injured a peak Grandmaster.
How could they possibly resist him?
Seeing Chen Yang's gaze, Lin Sangeng immediately reacted and cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention.
"The Modu Martial Arts Assembly is officially inaugurated today. Please go to your respective martial arts schools by tomorrow noon so that I can compile the information."
"I have reported this matter to the God of War and other departments. This is the result of discussions among various parties, not only to uphold justice but also for the honor of Modu."
"Matters like Luo Yanghong's cannot happen again in Modu."
Hearing these words, everyone could only leave reluctantly.
As for surrounding and attacking Chen Yang, it was just talk.
How many people dared to defy public opinion and do such a thing?
Luo Yanghong, who was so formidable, was now also completely silent?
After everyone had left, Hou Yuanzhi finally understood what had happened in Modu.
Hou Yuanzhi reviewed the events in his mind, and one name kept popping up: "This Luo Yanghong, why does he sound so familiar?"
Xie Xinyi, who had been silent all along, lowered his voice and said, "Master, he is from the Xuan Tian Cave Mansion."
This reminder immediately changed Hou Yuanzhi's expression.
No wonder he felt something was off. Luo Yanghong was precisely one of the disciples of this Xuan Tian Cave Mansion!
Although Xie Xinyi's voice was low, Chen Yang's hearing was sharp and he heard it clearly.
Chen Yang looked at the three people from the Hou family with a puzzled expression and asked, "Lord Hou, do you know of this Xuan Tian Cave Mansion?"
Hou Yuanzhi looked at Chen Yang with an embarrassed expression. Facing Chen Yang's confusion, he suddenly deflated like a pricked balloon, his voice significantly weakening.
