The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3170 - 3165: Xuan Zhen’s Corpse_1

Ji Yue Shuang possessed a fiery temperament, and witnessing Yang Chen fall into a snare involving the legendary Xuan Jie of the Spirit God Race left her incensed, demanding a full explanation.

The situation would have been manageable if more allies were involved. However, the appearance of someone like Xuan Jie raised questions; why was Mo Wanchou completely ignorant of this?

Despite suffering a defeat and retreating in silence, Mo Wanchou had allowed Yang Chen to walk into danger once more. Even if Yang Chen possessed the strength of a deity, confronting a demonic entity like Xuan Jie alone was a perilous endeavor.

The delegation from Shi Ye City felt such deep humiliation that they could barely lift their heads. They, too, possessed very little knowledge regarding this specific development.

While the fault lay entirely with Mo Wanchou, they were now forced to share the burden of his failure.

In the tense silence, Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang could only offer bitter excuses, "It is a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding! We were genuinely unaware of these details."

"You still possess the nerve to argue? Mo Wanchou retreated all the way back, yet you claim this was Xuan Zhen’s work? Was it not because he was humiliated by both Xuan Jie and Xuan Zhen that he stayed silent and hid the truth? What sort of behavior is that!" Ji Yue Shuang screamed in a fury.

"We..." Both Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang wore expressions of pure misery.

Though Han Bo and Lin Tianyi shared her anger, they maintained more composure than Ji Yue Shuang. Observing the scene, they surmised that Bai Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang had likely been deceived by Mo Wanchou as well.

"Enough, Sister Ji. We should bring this matter to Uncle Wen Qi and let her pass judgment," Han Bo suggested.

"Very well." Ji Yue Shuang replied, her silver teeth clenched tight.

"Please, have mercy. If Princess Wenqi becomes involved, will this not escalate into a massive scandal?" Ku Wang felt a chill run down his spine at the thought.

"Then what solution do you propose?" Han Bo snorted with disdain. "Bai Ku Wang, I realize you were kept in the dark, but today’s events cannot simply be brushed aside!"

With bitter looks, Bai Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang realized they had no choice but to accept this outcome.

Ultimately, the incident involving Xuan Jie had sparked a genuine rage within all of them.

Yang Chen himself was simmering with resentment, though he suppressed his temper. Upon hearing that Xuan Jie had a significant background, he couldn't resist asking, "Senior Han Bo, what exactly is the origin of this Xuan Jie? During our clash, I found his power to be overwhelming."

Hearing this, Han Bo felt a mix of irony and bitterness.

Initially, the sight of Xuan Jie had made him tremble, fearing that Yang Chen would surely perish.

Seeing Yang Chen return unscathed, he had briefly wondered if the youth had suffered some hidden, grievous injury.

But seeing Yang Chen standing there perfectly healthy, he realized the youth simply didn't understand that normally, no one survives an encounter with Xuan Jie.

"This Xuan Jie is the second prince of the Spirit God Royal Clan. There are twelve princes in total within their race. The weakest among them have reached the Mahayana Stage, while the most elite have attained the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Xuan Jie has existed for nearly a million years, spending 280,000 of those years solely within the Realmless stage," Han Bo explained with a sigh.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand years?" Yang Chen was visibly stunned.

Xuan Jie was truly a monster: "What was he doing in the Realmless for such an immense duration?"

"That remains a mystery. Even his younger siblings have ascended to the Heavenly Extreme Realm and the Heaven-appointed Realm. Only Xuan Jie remains an enigma. Some believe that if he chose to break through, his Royal Clan talent would have carried him to the Heaven-appointed Realm long ago. Yet, he lingers in the Realmless, refusing to advance. Though his reasons are unknown, one can only imagine the depth of his power," Han Bo said, shaking his head.

Yang Chen’s face darkened as he felt a secret shock.

He hadn't realized the sheer scale of Xuan Jie's foundation, having tempered himself in the Realmless for nearly eight hundred thousand years.

That span of time was staggering even for a Realmless cultivator, enough to allow a complete metamorphosis—especially for a member of the gifted Spirit God Royal Clan.

"Yang Chen, my young friend, the fact that you survived is a great relief to us all. But tell me, where is Xuan Zhen? He was nowhere to be seen when we arrived," Han Bo inquired.

As he spoke, the crowd turned their eyes toward Yang Chen, filled with curiosity.

Indeed, what had become of Xuan Zhen?

Everyone waited intently for his response.

Yang Chen offered a faint smile but said little. Instead, he reached into the Demon God Tower and retrieved the lifeless form of Xuan Zhen.

"Xuan Jie was indeed a formidable foe, but Xuan Zhen ran out of luck and was slain by my hand." Yang Chen presented the corpse for all to see.

He had hidden the body immediately after the kill. Such a corpse was a rare treasure, and he had no intention of losing it.

The moment Xuan Zhen’s body appeared, the spectators gasped in total disbelief, unable to process the sight.

"This... this is!"

Several powerful experts pointed at the corpse, some trembling in shock, others laughing with joy, while some simply exhaled in relief.

Once the initial shock faded, their faces radiated excitement.

They understood that with Xuan Zhen’s demise, one of their most persistent threats had been neutralized.

They were floored by Yang Chen’s capability. He had successfully hunted Xuan Zhen down.

Furthermore, he had accomplished this feat right under the nose of Xuan Jie.

The representatives from Shi Ye City were flushed with embarrassment, and even the followers of Mo Wanchou felt a stinging sense of shame.

Their Young Master, Mo Wanchou, had led multiple campaigns without ever defeating Xuan Zhen; he had lacked the courage even to pursue him. On the one occasion he did give chase, he was stripped of his dignity and forced to run for his life.

Yet Yang Chen, in his very first outing, had pursued and executed the enemy.

"Friend Yang Chen, you have rendered an immense service to Shi Ye City. We cannot thank you enough. Please, accept these treasures as a token of our gratitude," Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang said quickly. Being shrewd, they immediately presented a storage bag overflowing with rare ores.

Yang Chen understood their motives. Recognizing his prowess and wanting to smooth over the recent friction, they sought to earn his favor.

While Yang Chen held no grudge against them, he wasn't particularly fond of them either. He took the bag and gave a polite nod.

"Senior Han Bo, these are for your group." Yang Chen divided the spoils fairly, showing no signs of greed.

This act caused Han Bo to erupt in laughter. The fact that Yang Chen considered them immediately was deeply heartening.

"Excellent, truly excellent!" As Han Bo and Lin Tianyi looked at Yang Chen, their admiration for him only continued to grow.
