Chen Yang and the remaining members of the rebel alliance have regrouped at a hotel provided by Li Han after suffering heavy losses during a pursuit. While treating the wounded and recovering, Chen Yang prepares to gather medicinal herbs.

"Little brother, I initially had my doubts about the concept of genetics, much like the saying that a tiger father will inevitably sire a dog son. However, after encountering both you and your uncle, I find myself beginning to believe in it." Ao Min spoke once more.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but inquire, "Why is that?"

"It's quite simple; what other explanation could there be for the circumstances surrounding you and your uncle, apart from genetics? Your uncle is formidable, and the nephew is even more so. I am genuinely astounded," Ao Min stated with a hint of resignation.

After listening, Chen Yang offered a smile but refrained from further comment.

Quietly driving, he made his way to Old Li's herbal medicine shop and acquired a selection of herbs.

It had been quite some time since Chen Yang last visited Old Li's establishment.

Old Li had originally intended to detain Chen Yang for a conversation.

However, numerous severely wounded brothers were awaiting life-saving treatment in Lin Tianxia.

He simply did not have the luxury of time.

Consequently, he politely declined the invitation to chat.

Observing that Chen Yang was genuinely occupied with pressing matters, Old Li did not press the issue of keeping him.

After expressing that another opportunity would arise, he bid Chen Yang farewell.

With the herbs secured, Chen Yang swiftly escorted Ao Min back to the Lin Tianxia Hotel.

Li Han had executed her duties with commendable efficiency. Within a mere ten to twenty minutes,

she had successfully arranged accommodations for everyone.

Nearly every individual had been assigned their own room.

The entirety of the hotel, spanning three floors, was exclusively allocated to house the members of the Chou Alliance.

To facilitate Chen Yang's medical treatments, thirteen gravely injured members were specifically quartered on the same floor.

"Everything has been put in order, and the kitchen has been alerted. I anticipate the arrangements will be finalized shortly," Li Han informed Chen Yang.

"Excellent, your hard work is greatly appreciated." Chen Yang nodded in agreement, thoroughly pleased with Li Han's swiftness.

"Is there anything further I can assist with?" Li Han inquired again.

Li Han had already rendered substantial assistance, and with all members of the Chou Alliance settled, no additional help was required.

"No, thank you. You've been busy since early this morning; please take some rest. Should anything arise, I will seek you out," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

Li Han acknowledged his words with a nod. "Very well, I shall attend to my duties then. Do not hesitate to contact me if needed."

"Understood."

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then watched Li Han depart.

"Little brother, you certainly chose wisely with your wife; her efficiency is truly commendable," Ao Min began to praise as soon as Li Han had left.

This individual, Chen Yang wondered, when had he developed such a habit?

Ignoring him, Chen Yang immediately commenced treating the severely wounded alongside Chen Tianmin after Li Han's departure.

Following a strenuous morning, they finally concluded their efforts.

Chen Yang's medical proficiency was outstanding; the patients experienced rapid recovery post-treatment.

Even if not fully healed, they would at least be capable of movement by nightfall without a doubt.

With all matters resolved, Chen Yang, Chen Tianmin, and He Xiran partook in a meal and engaged in a period of rest.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the executives of the Chou Alliance.

Chen Tianmin, He Xiran, Pei Yong, another Elder, and Chen Yang convened in a private room to deliberate on the future course of action for the Chou Alliance.

"Our alliance has endured a grave calamity, leaving us utterly destabilized. A return to the provincial city is no longer a viable option," stated Qiu Hongguang.

Qiu Hongguang, also a high-ranking executive, held a position just below Chen Tianmin and the Alliance Hierarch.

However, during the previous day's devastating events, the Alliance Hierarch had already been slain by the Blood Bat Hall within the provincial city.

Currently, only he and Chen Tianmin remained as the true senior figures.

Though He Xiran and Pei Yong were not in leadership roles, Chen Tianmin had resolved to promote them to fill the existing vacancies.

Despite the Chou Alliance's current diminished numbers, its development must persist.

Sooner or later, it is beneficial to commence learning and gain experience early on.

This approach will enable them to handle affairs with greater skill and stability in the future.

"The provincial city is out of the question. The Blood Bat Hall has decimated our base, and they undoubtedly possess extensive information about us. Returning would be tantamount to seeking death," Pei Yong declared through gritted teeth.

During the engagement last night, Pei Yong was among those who sustained injuries.

One of his arms was fractured, but fortunately, Chen Yang had managed to mend it, though it remained temporarily immobilized and bandaged.

"Old Qiu, we must locate a new sanctuary for recovery. The Blood Bat Hall will not relent; we need to evade their relentless pursuit and rebuild our strength," He Xiran added.

Although advanced in years, Qiu Hongguang grasped the gravity of the situation.

The provincial city had served as their stronghold for many years, but returning now presented an undeniable mortal peril.

He nodded and directed his gaze toward Chen Tianmin. "Tianmin, you consistently possess the most insightful ideas. Pray tell, what are your thoughts on evading the Blood Bat Hall's pursuit while simultaneously restoring our capabilities?"

Presently, Chen Tianmin had yet to formulate a concrete plan.

The situation had escalated abruptly, leaving him with insufficient time for profound contemplation.

Put on the spot regarding a suitable location, he genuinely had no answer.

"I am also unsure," Chen Tianmin admitted.

"Ah."

Seeing even Chen Tianmin at a loss, Qiu Hongguang let out a deep sigh.

Pei Yong and He Xiran simultaneously lowered their heads, remaining silent.

As bewilderment gripped everyone, Chen Yang, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke.

"I propose that you all accompany me to Liuhua Village," Chen Yang stated in a calm tone.

"Liuhua Village?"

"What sort of place is that? Is it a suitable location?"

...

Pei Yong, He Xiran, and Qiu Hongguang immediately turned their gazes towards Chen Yang.

Meanwhile, Chen Tianmin appeared taken aback.

"How could that possibly work, Yang Zi? If Blood Bat Hall starts investigating, it would spell catastrophe for everyone close to you. You've been established there for years; your uncle doesn't want you to be implicated and face ruin!" Chen Tianmin voiced his concerns with a hint of agitation, clearly not agreeing with the suggestion to go to Liuhua Village.

The thought of Liuhua Village was not unfamiliar to him.

However, the potential risks involved were immense.

Nowadays, Liuhua Village had evolved beyond its humble beginnings, transformed by Chen Yang into a thriving settlement abundant with Spiritual Energy.

Should Blood Bat Hall discover its existence, it would undoubtedly face a devastating onslaught.

Therefore, Chen Tianmin hesitated.

What Chen Tianmin was contemplating, Chen Yang had also considered.

The very reason he presented this decision, after careful deliberation, stemmed from his inherent confidence.

He harbored a certainty that Blood Bat Hall's malevolent influence would not be able to contaminate Liuhua Village.

"Uncle, I have taken all your concerns into account, yet I still firmly believe that there is no superior location than Liuhua Village for the Chou Alliance to temporarily take refuge," Chen Yang affirmed.

"But Blood Bat Hall’s tracking capabilities are not to be underestimated; if they manage to pursue us there, the situation will become exceedingly perilous," Chen Tianmin countered.

"Uncle, I have also thought about that possibility. However, I am confident that it won't be so simple for Blood Bat Hall to track us down now; all potential leads have been deliberately severed, leaving them without any clues to follow."

"Furthermore, Liuhua Village is a relatively secluded area; why would Blood Bat Hall even bother to search there?"

Chen Yang continued his persuasion.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's reasoned arguments, Chen Tianmin fell into silence.

This was because Chen Yang's logic held significant weight.

Observing Chen Tianmin's silent contemplation, Chen Yang pressed on, "Moreover, Liuhua Village is exceptionally rich in spiritual energy, making it the perfect environment for the Chou Alliance to recover; if you relocate there, you can swiftly regain your strength."

"Should you still harbor feelings of insecurity, alternative strategies can be devised at that juncture; the paramount objective at present is to overcome the immediate crisis."

Chen Yang's analysis was undeniably cogent.

A profound silence descended upon the group.

Chen Tianmin, in particular, found himself in a state of intense internal conflict.

On one hand, the Chou Alliance desperately needed to fortify its strength.

On the other hand, he harbored a genuine reluctance to bring potential disaster upon Liuhua Village.

He was truly at a loss, uncertain of which path to choose.
