The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3220: 3215: Admiring Oneself?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
At Yang Chen's words, Ye Fengyi wasn't the only one jolted awake; even the mighty figures beyond the door snapped to attention in an instant.
Earlier, they hadn't pondered deeply; they simply assumed that having attained the Heavenly Fate Realm in cultivation, Yang Chen wouldn't dare to disrespect them.
After all, the fallout from crossing them was easy to picture!
Yet, they overlooked the sort of man Yang Chen truly was.
He had slain Mo Wanchou, provoked the Spirit Separation Ancestor and Grand Abyss Palace, and slipped away unscathed. Why would he fear them today?
Their Heavenly Fate Realm prowess was impressive, but stacked against the Grand Abyss Palace, the gap in strength and status became glaringly obvious!
Ye Fengyi stood there, dazed by Yang Chen's retort, his anger fizzling out for the moment. Finally, he forced out a line and bellowed, “Yang Chen, just you wait!”
With that, the exchange wrapped up, and Ye Fengyi had no choice but to release his hold and depart.
Once Ye Fengyi was gone, the other two Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses couldn't avoid some self-examination.
Upon reflection, they realized there was no basis for flaunting their Heavenly Fate cultivation before Yang Chen.
Everyone was after the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, and besides, Yang Chen showed zero fear toward them.
In a flash, the pair shifted their demeanor, mirroring the earlier Thousand Autumns True Person by offering genuine apologies.
To them, enduring a brief hit to their pride was worth securing the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine—a solid bargain.
Moreover, Yang Chen didn't strike them as the type to be petty or difficult.
Yang Chen, for his part, wasn't one to hold grudges unnecessarily. Seeing their apologies, he produced the pristine Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine and handed it over to them.
Only after those two departed did Yang Chen sense a chance for some peace. But unexpectedly, Ji Yue Shuang showed up shortly thereafter.
“Miss Ji, what brings you here?” Yang Chen inquired with a grin.
Ji Yue Shuang's laughter rang out like a chime, “My master wants to speak with you; she sent me to fetch you.”
Yang Chen had no clue why Princess Wenqi sought him out, but he wasn't about to turn it down, replying, “Alright, Miss Ji, lead the way.”
Together, they ascended to the mountain's summit and located Princess Wenqi.
True to form, Princess Wenqi wore flowing white robes that outshone fresh snow. She stood tall, pivoting to face them with her gaze, and uttered, “You've arrived.”
Yang Chen promptly bowed low in respect, “This junior greets Senior Wenqi.”
Princess Wenqi gave a subtle nod, “Take a seat.”
This wasn't the first time Yang Chen and Princess Wenqi had crossed paths, so familiarity eased any formalities. Joined by Ji Yue Shuang, they settled into a serene spot.
Yang Chen held back from pressing Princess Wenqi on her summons. As the junior, he waited calmly for her to initiate.
Princess Wenqi skipped any games and cut straight to it, “Yang Chen, you can probably surmise at least part of why I've called you here.”
“Does it concern the Slaughter God Spear?” Yang Chen ventured after a brief thought.
Before his last departure, word on the Slaughter God Spear had come in, and now it seemed a resolution had arrived.
“Exactly. I can't fathom how your spear pulled it off, but it's ended up in the Wind Moon World.” Princess Wenqi explained.
“Wind Moon World?” Yang Chen echoed, taken aback.
Princess Wenqi offered a gentle smile, “The Wind Moon World falls under Heavenly Melody Mountain's domain—it's their central stronghold, in fact.”
Comprehension dawned on Yang Chen, leaving him equal parts amused and exasperated. His Slaughter God Spear had a knack for stirring up complications by landing right in Heavenly Melody Mountain's turf.
“When we tracked it down, all we learned was that the Slaughter God Spear was with Heavenly Melody Mountain. I'd figured you'd head there straight to retrieve it. But lately, they've dispatched a confidential dispatch!” Princess Wenqi revealed.
“A confidential dispatch? Is it tied to the Slaughter God Spear?” Yang Chen wondered aloud.
“You're jumping to conclusions. Our own probes only confirmed the Slaughter God Spear's location with Heavenly Melody Mountain—no details on who holds it. So how could they know it's yours? Still, this dispatch does connect to you.” Princess Wenqi chuckled.
Yang Chen sensed something off about the situation and admitted, “I'm drawing a blank here.”
“You're not alone in that; even I'm caught off guard. Gotta say, you're one lucky fellow. The dispatch hails from Fairy Fu of Tianqu Mountain.” Princess Wenqi noted.
The unfamiliar name left Yang Chen astonished, “This junior has no recollection of crossing paths with this Fairy Fu.”
“Maybe not you, but Fairy Fu holds you in high regard.” Ji Yue Shuang giggled with delight.
“High regard?” Yang Chen blinked in confusion.
“Shuang’er’s spot on. To quote Fairy Fu herself, she's admired you ever since you took down those twenty-eight Heavenly Leaving Realm foes. She wishes for a personal meeting, but as a fleeting shadow like you, and being a lady, it's improper for her to approach—so she invites you instead. She promises fair treatment.” Princess Wenqi's lips curved slyly, “Yang Chen, from the looks of it, this Fairy Fu has taken a real shine to you.”
“Hee hee, the tale of Yang Chen slaying twenty-eight Heavenly Leaving Realm experts has rocked the whole Taiyuan Star System lately. Plenty in Heavenly Melody Mountain must look up to him now. Fairy Fu's got guts, spelling out her interest in a confidential dispatch. I consider myself forward, but even I wouldn't go that far.” Ji Yue Shuang huffed with a pout.
Yang Chen felt utterly lost and a bit spooked, blurting, “Senior Wenqi, just who is this Fairy Fu, really?”
Being inexplicably admired like this baffled him completely.
“Fairy Fu outranks Ji Yue Shuang; she's a standout from the prior generation's Daluo Celestial Stele and has been in the Heavenly Separated Realm for years. She's well-known in Heavenly Melody Mountain, with throngs of admirers, yet she's stayed aloof, pouring her focus into cultivation without dabbling in romance or mingling with men from rival sects.” Princess Wenqi elaborated.
Yang Chen sighed in resignation, “If this Fairy Fu's seeking me out, there might be more to her motives than meets the eye. I'm not sure I can navigate it.”
“No need to fret. As a member of Heavenly Melody Mountain, she'd have no motive to scheme against you. Plus, with her laying it out so openly as a woman, you can't just brush it off entirely. Seize the chance to track down the Slaughter God Spear and meet her. Should things click and talks of union arise, our Divine Night Sect backs you fully.” Princess Wenqi assured.
