Chapter 857 The Person Behind
Chen Yang's expression turned grim upon seeing the ravaged state of Hou Yuanzhi's body.
Noticing the change in Chen Yang's face, the three people around them couldn't help but tighten their throats.
Hou Yuanzhi also wore a wry smile. "If I were to endure it, I might still have a few more years."
Chen Yang, upon hearing this, remained silent and withdrew his fiery inner energy.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Chen Yang finally explained, "It seems I can't cure it now. Several of your meridians are even damaged."
This left everyone stunned.
Repairing meridians!
This was something they couldn't even dare to imagine.
Hou Qingzhu's eyes instantly welled up with tears. The entire Hou family was supported by the elder. Now that the elder was so severely injured, she couldn't imagine what would happen to the Hou family next.
Xie Xinyi's face was solemn, but his heart was already in turmoil.
If only he could be stronger!
If he had been at the peak of the Grandmaster realm today, his master would never have had to use that secret technique!
He wouldn't have suffered such injuries!
As Xie Xinyi pondered, his chest suddenly tightened, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly used his power to stabilize the raging energy within Xie Xinyi, followed by a calming mantra that entered Xie Xinyi's mind.
After Xie Xinyi regained consciousness, he looked at Chen Yang and his master with a wry smile, unable to speak a word.
"Don't worry, it's just a surge of anger. A day or two of rest should suffice."
Hearing Chen Yang's explanation, Hou Yuanzhi sighed helplessly, "I've long anticipated this day. Don't worry."
Hou Yuanzhi didn't know how to comfort his disciple for a moment.
Chen Yang, standing beside them, chuckled wryly, "I haven't finished speaking. I just said I can't cure it *now*, not that it can *never* be cured. To completely clear it out requires the aid of a few medicinal ingredients."
"So, I can repair some of the meridians now, but this repair is only temporary. It requires certain medicinal efficacy to reinforce it."
"Once you fully absorb the medicinal power within your body, your meridians will be completely repaired and even more resilient."
This time, everyone was dumbfounded.
Meridians could be repaired?
At that moment, Lin Sangeng suddenly slapped his forehead, saying with some annoyance, "I should have realized this earlier! My previous injuries also involved my meridians!"
Moreover, according to Lin Sangeng's estimation, his injuries at that time were many times more severe than Hou Yuanzhi's, yet Chen Yang not only saved him but also made his meridians stronger than before.
Hou Yuanzhi's injuries would be a piece of cake for Chen Yang!
Lin Sangeng anxiously inquired of Chen Yang, "What medicinal ingredients are needed? I'll go find them now!"
After Chen Yang provided a list, he added, "As long as they can be found before tomorrow morning, it will be fine. Nothing particularly rare, they can be found within Modu."
"I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Chen Yang did not linger at the Lin family's residence for long. His original intention for this trip was just to help Lin Sangeng deal with the Modu martial artists.
He had another very important matter to attend to.
Watching Chen Yang's retreating figure, Hou Yuanzhi immediately asked Lin Sangeng, who was beside him, the question that was on his mind: "How did you and Chen Yang get acquainted? I've never heard you mention such a person before."
Lin Sangeng showed a wry smile. "It should be said that my daughter acted as the go-between. This child, she likes to follow stars, you know..."
...
While the two were chatting, Chen Yang had already made his way to the Modu War God.
Currently, the person in charge of the Modu War God position was not Bei Xuan. The Bei Xuan War God had not shown himself since leaving Qingzhou that day.
Now, all matters concerning martial artists in Modu were decided by the Dong Cang War God.
When Chen Yang appeared at the Modu War God's residence, no one tried to stop him.
They even directly informed Chen Yang of the Dong Cang War God's current location.
Upon arriving at the garden behind the residence, Chen Yang immediately saw Dong Cang sparring with Liao Zhonghai.
However, their spar did not involve any display of inner energy; it was purely a contest of physical prowess.
Chen Yang's arrival instantly drew the attention of many people.
Especially the powerful demonic beast perched on Chen Yang's shoulder.
The onlookers here were all Star Constellation martial artists, and Chen Yang naturally exchanged a few pleasantries.
The two on stage naturally saw Chen Yang's arrival immediately, but they did not stop their match right away.
It wasn't until Liao Zhonghai, drenched in sweat, leaped down from the stage and waved as if conceding, saying, "Dong Cang War God's Tai Chi Hands are indeed difficult to deal with. If inner energy were involved, I fear I would have been severely injured by now."
As the Wei Su Star Lord, Liao Zhonghai possessed extremely fierce inner energy, but facing Tai Chi Hands was like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
Dong Cang also wiped away his fine sweat and chuckled, "Wei Su Star Lord, you jest. If there were inner energy reinforcement, I fear I wouldn't have lasted this long either."
Chen Yang, hearing their words, rolled his eyes directly. "The two of you, stop flattering each other. There are so many people here, aren't you ashamed!"
The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing this.
The air was instantly filled with laughter.
After a while of playful banter, someone finally asked Chen Yang, "The Lin family was quite lively tonight! Don't you plan to go see?"
Chen Yang smiled, took a sip of tea, and replied, "I've already been. I challenged them to a fight, but no one dared to step forward."
This remark made everyone laugh uncontrollably again.
After a long pause, Liao Zhonghai finally said, "The reason they dared to target Yang Yang Yang Company before was because Luo Yanghong was there to shield them, wasn't it?"
"Now that Luo Yanghong is gone, they don't have the guts to make a move."
"Otherwise, if the War God were to act, it wouldn't just be a matter of crippling some of their inner energy, but a direct..."
As Liao Zhonghai spoke, a hint of ferocity flickered in his eyes.
For martial artists to resort to force to seize ordinary people's assets!
This was something the Star Constellation Grandmasters despised.
The Star Constellation Grandmasters were so resistant to the various influential families precisely because these families, to a certain extent, relied on their martial prowess to coerce others.
If the mess Luo Yanghong had stirred up this time was not stamped out, countless more problems would arise.
The Dong Cang War God also nodded slowly, agreeing with Liao Zhonghai's words.
"Chen Yang, actually, this matter, in the final analysis, should be the responsibility of the War God Department."
Chen Yang chuckled wryly, "It's just a small matter. There's no need to be so concerned. What we truly need to pay attention to is the Xuan Tian Cave Mansion behind Luo Yanghong!"
