Chapter 2088: Chapter 2043: Arrived Safely
So he didn’t plan to enter the village, but instead prepared to quietly return to the reservoir.
"Hmm, you go ahead." Chen Yang nodded.
Then, Xiao Hei left first.
They stood in place for a while before heading down the mountain.
It was dinnertime then, and the village was truly bustling.
The tourists were either strolling the streets or eating, with a rough estimate of at least tens of thousands of tourists.
"Hey, Yang Zi!"
When Chen Yang led Ao Min and He Xiran through the street, Uncle Niu spotted them.
Chen Yang quickly stopped and looked at Uncle Niu with a smile, "What’s up, Uncle Niu, something on your mind?"
"Yang Zi, where have you been these days? I have some matters to find you about, but you haven’t been around," Uncle Niu said with a smile.
"I’ve had a few things to handle out of town these past few days, so I haven’t been back. What’s up, Uncle Niu?" Chen Yang replied, then continued to ask.
"Hehe."
Uncle Niu now had his son by his side, living comfortably, which made him look much younger, his face always smiling.
"I’ve been so busy these days that my head is spinning, and my body can’t take it, so I wanted you to help with a prescription to nourish my body," Uncle Niu said with a smile.
Chen Yang thought it was something important but found out it was just this.
"This sort of thing is absolutely no problem at all." Chen Yang nodded with a smile, agreeing right away.
"But I can’t do it right now, tomorrow then. I’ll have someone bring it to your house," Chen Yang said warmly.
"Oh, thank you so much, Yang Zi." Uncle Niu gratefully said.
"Uncle Niu, why are you being so formal with me?" Chen Yang said.
"Haha, alright then, I won’t be formal. Come over for a meal at my place when you have time, you haven’t been here for a while."
"Sure, I’ll come by when I have time. Uncle, I have some things to do, so I’ll be on my way now."
Chen Yang was eager to visit the Green Cloud Taoist Temple, so he didn’t plan to stay long.
"Alright, Yang Zi, you go ahead. You can write the prescription for me whenever you have time, young people’s matters are important, don’t let them be delayed." Uncle Niu quickly nodded, not keeping Chen Yang for idle chat.
Chen Yang responded affirmatively, then, taking He Xiran and Ao Min, headed to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.
At this moment within the Green Cloud Taoist Temple, Chen Tianmin, Taoist Liu, and Old Qiu were gathered, their hearts filled with worry.
All the happenings at the Divine Dragon Assembly were clearly seen by them from their seats.
They knew Chen Yang had slain the Demon Old Ghost, offending the Ghost Gate Hall.
So they could predict that the Ghost Gate Hall would definitely not let it go and would surely seek trouble with Chen Yang.
Having been back for two days, without seeing any sign of Chen Yang, they were naturally worried.
It wasn’t until they saw Chen Yang return safely with He Xiran and Ao Min, that their anxious hearts finally settled.
"Yang Zi, you’ve finally returned. I was discussing with Taoist Liu, planning to head back to Divine Dragon Mountain," Chen Tianmin said, a rare smile appearing on his face upon seeing Chen Yang return.
"Second Uncle, we encountered some trouble on the road, which delayed us and made you worry," Chen Yang said warmly.
"Trouble? Was it the Ghost Gate Hall?"
Taoist Liu immediately asked.
"Yes, it was the Ghost Gate Hall. They sent eight evil spirits to ambush us, but we took care of them instead," Ao Min answered eagerly.
"Were any of you hurt?" Chen Tianmin asked with concern.
"No, Second Uncle, we’re all fine. Also, we deliberately cleaned up traces on the way back, so the Ghost Gate Hall won’t find us here," Chen Yang said with a smile.
"That’s good." Only then did Chen Tianmin’s heart completely relax.
Knowing Chen Yang was safe, everyone stopped discussing the Ghost Gate Hall and talked about the Divine Dragon Assembly instead.
The process by which Chen Yang and others participated in the assembly was quite simple since they were there for the Divine Dragon Pool, so not much was spoken.
Instead, Chen Tianmin and the others’ experiences were a bit richer.
Chen Tianmin attended the Divine Dragon Assembly with Taoist Liu, posing as disciples of Lion Tiger Mountain.
Lion Tiger Mountain’s status in the cultivation world was absolutely first-class.
So their location was where those big shots would sit.
This meant that Chen Tianmin was merely inches away from Blood Bat Hall’s people.
"The Blood Bat Hall Master’s cultivation is immense, and our deep blood feud with them seems far away." For the first time, Chen Tianmin was this close to the Blood Bat Hall Master.
Thus, he intentionally probed the Blood Bat Hall Master’s cultivation.
Yet he found out the Hall Master’s cultivation was as deep as the sea, beyond his means to investigate.
This raised a strong feeling of helplessness within him.
He’s already half a century on, is there still a chance for revenge?
Furthermore, during this assembly, he discovered that the top powers were not as simple as they appeared.
The Blood Bat Hall has thousands of followers, among which are over a hundred masters of the Gathering Spirit Realm.
On top of that, there are numerous respected elders with unfathomable strength.
"On the way back, the Lion Tiger Sect Leader advised me against seeking revenge for now, knowing our blood feud with the Blood Bat Hall because they are well-established and can’t be toppled overnight." Chen Tianmin said somewhat despairingly.
Taoist Liu sighed upon hearing this.
Actually, Taoist Liu had known this long ago, but he hadn’t told Chen Tianmin previously for fear of his despair.
Upon hearing the news Chen Tianmin gathered, Chen Yang couldn’t help but feel stirred.
Yet he wasn’t as despairing as Chen Tianmin.
Instead, knowing the Blood Bat Hall’s might kindled an even greater desire within him to grow stronger.
"Second Uncle, the Blood Bat Hall may be deeply rooted, but I believe that if we maintain our current momentum, we will one day have the chance for revenge!" Chen Yang said earnestly after a few moments of silence.
"This time, I gained a lot from Divine Dragon Mountain, here, take this first."
Chen Yang directly took out the Storage Silk Pouch.
Though filled with despondency, Chen Tianmin had not planned to give up.
He might not be up to it anymore, but he held immense faith in Chen Yang!
Moreover, he believed Chen Yang had the capability to avenge the Chen family’s deep blood feud!
"Yang Zi, what’s this?" Chen Tianmin asked unexpectedly, looking at Chen Yang.
"Second Uncle, here are twenty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones! Take them first as development resources for the revenge alliance." Chen Yang said plainly.
Gasp!
The crowd collectively gasped!
Twenty thousand Spirit Stones?
What a massive resource this was!
The revenge alliance had never seen such a sizable resource in all its years of development.
"Twenty... twenty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones?" Chen Tianmin was deeply shocked and opened the pouch to find it piled with Spirit Stones.
"Yang Zi, where did you get all these Spirit Stones?" Chen Tianmin asked, utterly astounded.
"Won from gambling." Chen Yang smiled softly, saying.
"Won from gambling?" Chen Tianmin was baffled.
Ao Min smiled and helped Chen Yang answer.
He recounted the happenings at the Divine Dragon Mountain gala hall.
Once they heard it was won from gambling, Chen Tianmin’s astonishment somewhat lessened.
Initially, he thought maybe Chen Yang had raided some sect’s treasury, otherwise, where would there be so many Spirit Stones.
But upon realization, he immediately shook his head and declined.
"Yang Zi, I can’t take this many Spirit Stones, you’ve helped our revenge alliance enough!" Chen Tianmin said seriously.
He really was too embarrassed to take them.
Because taking so much felt excessive.
