The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3231 - 3226: The Purpose of Huan Ye Ming Wang_1

Few practitioners follow the Spear Dao, yet their skills differ widely. Within Yang Chen's single thrust lay boundless profundity, something he had never encountered.

Willow Stain felt utterly convinced that Yang Chen's grasp of the Spear Dao delved into depths vast and unknowable, far surpassing anything he could attain.

That recent strike, which appeared so offhand, held insights that, if unlocked by him, would enrich his entire existence.

Willow Stain's frame went rigid, and he lingered in a stupor briefly, until his father's nudge pulled him back to awareness. With tension in his voice, he declared, "Yes, Junior will not disappoint Senior."

Yang Chen caught the fervent gleam in Willow Stain's gaze and gave a gentle nod.

Offering no further words, he at least recognized Willow Stain as a remarkably diligent soul.

Concerning his own thrust, whether Willow Stain grasped its core lay outside his influence.

"Strive diligently, young one." Yang Chen clapped Willow Stain's shoulder, blurred his silhouette, and vanished from sight.

Willow Stain gaped toward the path of Yang Chen's departure, gripping his fists tightly, fully aware this rare prospect demanded his full grasp.

Willow Feng brimmed with thrill as well: "Son, grasp this opportunity tightly. Should you gain apprenticeship under this formidable expert, I'd ease my worries for your path ahead. Fortunately, this lord practices the Spear Dao too—ideal for him to mentor you."

...

Upon Yang Chen's arrival back, Broken River along with the other pair showed up soon enough, arriving successively.

The trio spotted Yang Chen right as they entered and couldn't suppress a wave of disappointment.

"What findings did you three uncover?" Yang Chen inquired.

Broken River shook his head: "We checked the Lingtian Array but turned up no leads or discoveries. That's expected, really. Otherwise, our junior sister and her group wouldn't have headed to the Desolate Snake Desert."

"So, what's your plan moving forward?" Yang Chen pressed.

Broken River crossed his arms and pondered briefly before replying, "No better option exists. We'll head to the Desolate Snake Desert as a group of four and consult the Snake people directly. With Junior Sister Moon Orchid vanishing there, we need the full story from those Snake folk. What say you three?"

"I see no issue." Yang Chen responded.

Madame Autumn Plum and Dao Guangwang exchanged glances, showing clear reluctance, yet with events at this stage, they held their tongues and simply nodded in acceptance.

The quartet gathered their supplies, informed Willow Feng briefly, and set off as one toward the Desolate Snake Desert.

For these four, traversing between realms posed no challenge, making the journey to the Desolate Snake Desert straightforward.

The Desolate Snake Desert sprawled without end, a barren expanse devoid of life across its vastness. Snake statues dotted the landscape, rising from the golden dunes, cloaked in grit and ages past, radiating timeless aura.

"This Desolate Snake Ancient City hides itself well." Broken River remarked.

Dao Guangwang spoke with chill: "The Snake people crafted their city in such secrecy; I suspect hidden agendas."

Madame Autumn Plum shook her head: "Brother Daoguang, hold off on judgments. Over time, the Snake people have offered endless treasures to our Heavenly Melody Mountain, showing their devotion. For Junior Sister Moon Orchid's case, let's probe the facts before assuming. Avoid rash words. If Brother Daoguang clings to that disposition, we risk alienating the Snake people, and they may withhold honest details on Junior Sister Moon Orchid and the rest."

Broken River nodded too: "Brother Daoguang, temper your attitude."

Though Dao Guangwang chafed inwardly, with the others insisting, he relented with a nod and muttered, "Fine."

Yang Chen stayed composed, seemingly idly scanning the area while keenly noting every nuance.

Unbeknownst to Broken River and the group, he knew full well that watchful eyes tracked them constantly.

Having stepped into this forsaken, lifeless Desolate Snake Desert, nothing assured the hidden observer wouldn't strike.

As Yang Chen mulled this over, a sudden awareness hit him.

He nearly voiced it when Broken River's brows furrowed, as though he'd sensed it likewise.

This prompted Yang Chen to swallow his alert and feign ignorance.

Broken River bellowed, "Stay alert, all! Foes are upon us!"

With his cry, four Snake people erupted from beneath the sands.

These four Snake folk had matured fully, yet their features stayed strikingly alluring. They wielded keen blades now, each having attained Heaven-separated Realm cultivation.

The emergence of these four Heaven-separated Realm Snake people stunned Broken River.

"Since when do the Snake people boast so many Heaven-separated Realm experts?" Broken River raged: "You Snake folk dare assault us humans? Seeking death, are you?!"

"Hmph, humans? Only the dim royal bloodline puts faith and dread in you lot. We of the Heaven’s Might Army fear no humans!" The four Snake people's tongues flicked out, their elongated scales sending chills through the air.

"Heaven’s Might Army?" Broken River and the pair exchanged puzzled looks.

Before they could ponder or question further, the four Heaven-separated Realm Snake people lunged into assault.

One foe per defender, the clash ignited fiercely at once.

Yang Chen faced off against one Heaven-separated Realm Snake person too. This one brandished a trident, its blows carrying might to stir tempests.

Beneath swirling dunes, the four Heaven-separated Realm battles stirred massive chaos.

Yang Chen eyed the Heaven-separated Realm Snake person with a frosty smirk. Given his prowess, even all four combined would fall swiftly.

He first thought to subdue the Snake person effortlessly. Yet, mindful of the ever-present gaze from the shadows, displaying full might would surely tip off the lurker.

After that, nabbing the concealed watcher would prove nearly impossible.

Thus, Yang Chen feigned strain, clashing with the Heaven-separated Realm Snake person in a relaxed manner.

This display reached Huan Ye Ming Wang and several Snake people clearly.

"Lord Huan Ye, sending them alone won't suffice to slay these four humans. Shall we join the fray?" A handful of fellow Heaven-separated Realm Snake people urged worriedly.

Huan Ye Ming Wang scoffed, "What would you know? These four are Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses from Heavenly Melody Mountain. Overwhelming them proves tough, killing even harder. They can flee if outmatched. Your aid would merely alarm the prey."

"Then what does Lord Huan Ye plan..." The Snake people queried, confused.

"My plan? Let them gauge these humans' power. If they're weak, my strength alone can end them whenever!" Huan Ye Ming Wang declared.
