The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3209 - 3204: Saving One’s Life, Deserving Compensation_1

The Divine Night Sect's willingness to rescue him despite the circumstances proved how much they valued him.

Refusal was out of the question.

As they followed Gu Jianchou, Ji Yue Shuang questioned him repeatedly about his narrow escape.

Yang Chen kept his explanations brief, touching upon the events only lightly. He purposely glossed over the details regarding his more potent techniques.

This reserved nature had always been his way.

Nevertheless, Ji Yue Shuang was left in awe by every fragment of the story, marveling at how Yang Chen had managed to survive.

Even Gu Jianchou felt a spark of curiosity. With his vast experience, he could easily discern that Yang Chen was withholding specifics. He suspected the true level of danger faced was far more intense than what was being described.

While Gu Jianchou escorted Yang Chen back, Yi Tian, Han Yi, and the other four Heavenly Mandates returned to the Grand Abyss Palace to deliver their report to the Spirit Separation Ancestor.

Upon hearing their account, the Spirit Separation Ancestor was instantly consumed by rage: "What... the Divine Night Sect actually dares to shield Yang Chen? Is this the absolute truth?"

Han Yi felt the most trepidation, but Yi Tian and the others answered truthfully: "Ancestor Daozu, every word we say is the truth. Gu Jianchou personally intervened to save Yang Chen. This is clearly the stance of the Divine Night Sect. We were simply powerless to stop them..."

The Spirit Separation Ancestor’s fury reached a boiling point: "Fine, fine! A bold Divine Night Sect indeed, to disregard my face so completely. Hmph, I shall see exactly what they intend to do. Prepare yourselves; I will pay a personal visit to the Divine Night Sect!"

...

Just as Han Yi and his companions were arriving at the Grand Abyss Palace, Gu Jianchou reached the Divine Night Sect with Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang.

Upon their arrival, several disciples hurried forward to welcome them.

Gu Jianchou paid them no mind, leading Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang deep into the sect's territory to a location Yang Chen had never before encountered.

This area stood opposite the Crescent Moon Summit, surrounded by a space that felt void and dreamlike.

It was difficult to describe; it seemed empty, yet it felt incredibly dense and saturated with power, as if it were an entirely independent dimension.

"What kind of place is this...?" Yang Chen asked, his voice filled with wonder.

"This is the Palace of the Round Moon, the secret palace of the Divine Night Sect. Ordinarily, even Sky-separation Realm Cultivators within our Sect are forbidden from entering. This time, however, is an exception. Your situation has drawn the attention of many Elders, and they wish to see you in person," Gu Jianchou clarified.

"The Palace of the Round Moon? I’ve only heard legends of it; I never imagined I would actually step inside..." Ji Yue Shuang murmured in surprise.

Yang Chen remained deep in thought.

He understood that the Divine Night Sect wouldn't rescue him without a motive. There had to be an underlying reason.

Whatever the Divine Night Sect required of him would surely be revealed once they entered the Palace of the Round Moon.

"The powerful experts within the palace have been debating your case for quite some time. Even I was pulled from my seclusion because of this matter," Gu Jianchou noted. "Of course, do not misunderstand. There are other topics on the agenda, but your situation is indeed significant. It has even caught the eye of the Daozu ancestors."

With a wave of Gu Jianchou’s hand, a shimmering crimson rift manifested upon the Crescent Moon Summit.

The rift slowly reshaped itself into a doorway.

As the three of them stepped through, they entered a world of biting frost.

A freezing aura permeated the air. The landscape appeared desolate, save for a massive, majestic palace that loomed ahead, looking grand and formidable.

Gu Jianchou entered the hall with Yang Chen following closely behind. Inside, he was met by the presence of many terrifyingly powerful figures.

Among them, he recognized Princess Wenqi.

She sat with her hands behind her back, flanked by four other individuals.

Yang Chen could tell at a single glance that these four were all Heavenly Extreme Realm experts. Their auras were so overwhelming they could strike fear into anyone's heart.

Yang Chen realized that, including Princess Wenqi, these five represented the absolute peak of the Divine Night Sect's hierarchy.

Five Heavenly Extreme Realms!

And this likely wasn't the Sect's entire strength. It was common for some experts of that caliber to be traveling or otherwise occupied.

Seated below these five were various other masters. Though they differed in age and attire, nearly all of them had reached the Heaven-appointed Realm in their Cultivation.

"Seniors and brothers, and the five Daozu ancestors, I have successfully brought Yang Chen here," Gu Jianchou announced with a bow.

In that instant, several powerful divine senses swept over Yang Chen, sending a cold shiver down his spine.

Every person in this room possessed power far exceeding his own.

Having experienced many trials, Yang Chen remained composed and offered a respectful salute: "This junior offers his respects to all the seniors present."

Observing his calm demeanor, the four Daozu beside Princess Wenqi wore various expressions, but their gazes eventually softened.

"Junior Sister Wenqi, you were correct. This Yang Chen possesses true grit. To remain so steady in our presence proves his state of mind is exceptional." Two Daozu nodded in approval toward Princess Wenqi.

Princess Wenqi gave a faint smile and looked directly at Yang Chen. "Yang Chen, I am pleased to see you safe. Since you are here, I will be blunt. In the current state of the universe, I suspect only our Divine Night Sect has the courage and power to protect you. We have essentially declared our opposition to the Grand Abyss Palace for your sake. Why? Because we prize your potential. Now, Yang Chen, what is your decision?"

Without a moment's pause, Yang Chen met Princess Wenqi’s gaze and bowed deeply. "From this day forward, I, Yang Chen, shall serve the Divine Night Sect. Whether it be climbing mountains of blades or plunging into seas of fire, I shall not hesitate! My thanks to Senior Wenqi and all the seniors here!"

His words were entirely sincere.

The Divine Night Sect had paid a heavy price to save him. He knew he owed them his life.

In the future, he was determined to do everything in his power to repay this debt.

He would prove to the Divine Night Sect that saving him was the wisest choice they ever made.

Simultaneously, he would make the Grand Abyss Palace realize that failing to kill him was their most catastrophic error!

"There is no need for such thanks; you have yourself to thank for defeating twenty-eight Heavenly Leaving Realm experts. That feat demonstrated your incredible talent and power. Such strength belongs on the front lines against the alien tribes. It would be a tragic waste for you to fall now," a white-browed old man sitting near Princess Wenqi said with a warm smile.
