Chapter 547: Chapter 544: Regret, Too Late!_1

With his speed, it only took him an instant to reach the Zhou family.

When he set foot in the Zhou family, it was already empty, with no trace of a single person. This made Yang Chen narrow his eyes and release his soul, which then suddenly found a weak prohibition in the Zhou family’s main hall nearby.

Although this prohibition could be called a prohibition, it was just the lowest level, the kind that one could create after a little learning, without any special features.

Yang Chen waved his hand, and the prohibition was lifted.

Exactly when the prohibition was lifted, a male voice suddenly burst into laughter, “Yang Chen? Yang Wu, you want to deal with us? Although I don’t know what you did in the Great Wilderness, Fire Essence Beast Lord is still not something you can contend with. Our Zhou family has now gone to the Monster Beast Mountain Inner Area, hehe. Yang Chen, if you have the guts, just enter the Beast Mountain Inner Circle. Don’t worry, even if you don’t come, the Fire Essence Beast Lord will come out sooner or later and wipe out your Yang family in one fell swoop.”

Hearing these words, Yang Chen’s eyebrows furrowed, and he laughed in anger.

How interesting.

So that’s the Zhou family’s choice, huh? It seems they no longer position themselves as humans? They’re completely aligned with the Fire Essence Beasts now?

Many times, a family’s character cannot be completely defined by one trait.

But the Zhou family really did side with the Fire Essence Beasts. Yang Wu had already killed the high-level members of the Zhou family, and now the rest of the Zhou family had gone to the Beast Mountain Inner Circle. If everyone in the clan wasn’t fully committed to the Fire Essence Beasts, how could they have so quickly left the Great Wilderness and entered the Beast Mountain?

“It seems that after betraying the Human Race and siding with the Fire Essence Beasts, the Zhou family has tasted sweetness,” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes. “Do they think that by hiding in the Beast Mountain Inner Circle and joining forces with the last few Fire Essence Beasts, I would be unable to touch them?”

With that thought, Yang Chen grinned.

He had said that traitors would be killed, no matter where they fled to, even if it’s to the ends of the Earth.

…

Having learned about the Zhou family’s situation, Yang Chen didn’t care about it and returned to the Yang family. Upon his return, he locked himself in his old home within the Yang family compound, with Gu Mingyue cleaning the courtyard while he concentrated on refining Spirit Talismans inside the house, just like the past years.

Yang Chen had chosen to close himself off right after returning to the Yang family not because of anything else but for refining Spirit Talismans.

During his last visit to the Trial Tower in the Beishan Main City, his materials had been almost exhausted, but fortunately, he had brought quite a lot of them back from his trip to the Tiandu Divine Country. These materials, made into Spirit Talismans, were more than enough to help him deal with the Fire Essence Beasts.

He was now prepared to abandon defense and choose a direct attack, targeting the Demonic beasts inside Beast Mountain.

It must be said, this was a maddening move.

But Yang Chen had no other choice.

By now, several days had elapsed since Yang Chen had killed Tu Ao and the other Fire Essence Beasts. However, there was still no movement from the Beast Mountain Inner Circle, indicating that the remaining few Demonic beasts inside weren’t planning to come out and deal with him.

This meant that the Fire Essence Beasts in the Inner Circle of Beast Mountain were already aware that they couldn’t just attack him. He couldn’t waste his time here since he had to deal with the Black Dragon Sect in the Beishan Main City. So, there was no time left here!

Fast, decisive battles were the only option now.

However, if he was to confront the Fire Essence Beasts directly, there was no chance of victory. The only way was to refine Spirit Talismans. With these Spirit Talismans as a support, it would be much easier for him to deal with these Fire Essence Beasts using his own power.

And so, Yang Chen took out the Blazing Fire Spirit Brush and began refining Spirit Talismans in large quantities.

Five days passed in a row.

After five days, Yang Chen decided to leave seclusion.

As soon as he left seclusion, Yang Chen saw Yang Jin He and Elder Yang Si, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two waiting like this, Yang Chen curiously asked, “Clan Leader, Fourth Master, what are you…”

Yang Jin He looked at Yang Chen and laughed, “It’s like this, there are some people here who came looking for you.”

“Oh? Who?” Yang Chen was puzzled.

“You’ll find out if you come and see.” Yang Jin He said.

Without asking further, Yang Chen followed Yang Jin He to the Yang family’s guest reception courtyard.

As soon as he arrived, Yang Chen saw about twenty or thirty people of various ages standing there, anxious and waiting pitifully. When they saw Yang Chen, they all greeted him politely and fawningly, “Yang Chen, my friend!”

“It’s Yang Chen, my friend.”

“Haha, Yang Chen, my friend, you’ve finally arrived.”

Seeing their enthusiasm, Yang Chen frowned, “Clan Leader, who are these people?”

“These are the high-ranking members of the families who didn’t show up after you announced the rectification of the Great Wilderness a few days ago. Now they’re here.” Yang Jin He spoke with a stiff tone, obviously not having a good impression of these high-level members of the families, but he didn’t say anything harsh for the sake of saving face.

Hearing Yang Jin He’s words, Yang Chen raised his eyebrows and laughed.

So these were the high-level members of the families who had acted like big shots and not taken his words seriously when he announced the rectification of the Great Wilderness a few days ago. They hadn’t shown up and had stood him up.

Yang Chen said coldly, “What do you all mean? The rectification of the Great Wilderness has ended, and our Yang family is now refusing outside guests. What do you mean by gathering together like this?”

“Yang Chen, my friend, we’ve all suffered from the oppression of the Fire Essence Beasts too and dared not speak up. This distribution of benefits…”

“Yes, Yang Chen, my friend, we are all victims.”

These high-level families started talking, their words filled with grievance.

As the saying goes, there’s something hateful about pathetic people. Yang Chen’s words didn’t contain any tact, and he scolded, “So what? I made it very clear at the time that we would gather and discuss everything within five days. But at the time, all of you had such big tempers and high statuses that neither my invitations nor my words reached you. Now you know that others have gotten benefits and you’re jealous, so you want to come? It’s too late!”

Did they think they could take all the good things?

What a joke!

When they were asked to come, they didn’t come. When everything’s done and they found out about the benefits, they wanted to come? What were they doing at that time? Did they think they could just get the good stuff by reaching out and swallowing it? It’s not that simple!

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, the high-ranking family members’ faces changed dramatically, and they awkwardly toughed it out, “Yang Chen, my friend, we didn’t refuse to go, we were just afraid. The Fire Essence Beasts are powerful, and although we wanted to go in our hearts, we just couldn’t.”

These high-ranking family members were now regretting so much that their intestines had turned green.

Seeing the other families receiving compensation and benefits, what about them? Just a single empty pole. Not only had they suffered losses under the oppression of the Fire Essence Beasts, but they also hadn’t received any benefits at all!
