The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3233: 3228: Entering the Snake City_1

“The snake people had the audacity to assault us? Brother Gu, I suggest we call upon the Heaven-appointed Realm elders from our Heavenly Melody Mountain to crush them outright!” Dao Guangwang avoided mentioning Yang Chen right then, fuming as memories of the snake people's aggression flooded back.

With a grave expression, Broken River shook his head dismissively: “No way. Those Heaven-appointed Realm elders carry vital duties. Unless it's unavoidable, we shouldn't request their assistance. Doing so would only demonstrate that us Sky-separating Realm cultivators are completely incompetent.”

“This…” Dao Guangwang trailed off, unable to argue further upon hearing that.

In truth, if the Sky-separating Realm powerhouses could handle the issue, it was preferable to avoid involving the Heaven-appointed Realm. Otherwise, word spreading would bring nothing but shame.

“The snake people's circumstances appear quite peculiar at the moment, yet from my recent observations, it seems divisions exist among them. I'm worried they've undergone total transformation over the years. This Heaven’s Might Army likely differs from the traditional snake people royal lineage. We'll assess the truth once the four of us reach the Snake People Royal Family. If it's beyond our control, we can always retreat afterward. The real worry is that the snake people's dynamics might evade our judgment, leaving escape too late by the time we realize.” Madame Autumn Plum voiced her concerns anxiously.

Broken River furrowed his brow in contemplation for a moment before replying: “That makes sense. I've got a special treasure on hand. As long as my power holds, activating it will ensure our getaway isn't an issue.”

“The treasure Brother Gu refers to…?” Madame Autumn Plum hesitated, on the verge of elaborating, but caught Broken River's subtle signal and sealed her lips.

Clearly, this invaluable item was best kept secret if possible. For one, Yang Chen lingered close by, and for another, with the snake people just emerging, caution was wise to prevent any eavesdropping.

Dao Guangwang declared: “If Brother Gu feels assured, then I'll join Brother Gu in facing this danger.”

His words subtly alluded to Yang Chen's involvement.

Yang Chen remained indifferent, arms folded behind him, acting as though he grasped none of their implications.

Following their short deliberation, the quartet resumed their journey together toward the Snake People Ancient City.

Yet, shortly after they departed, a massive force of snake people warriors emerged. It included numerous cultivators at Nirvana Stage, Great Ascension Stage, and even a pair of Sky-separating Realm snake folk.

“What's happening with these snake people?” Dao Guangwang inquired, baffled.

Madame Autumn Plum observed: “These snake people appear clad in royal garments? Perhaps our earlier clash drew their notice? They don't seem hostile. What are your thoughts, Brother Gu?”

“A clear rift must divide the snake people internally. The royal family surely opposes this so-called Heaven’s Might Army. These royal snake folk seem drawn by the disturbance—let's approach and greet them.” After a brief pause, Broken River guided the other three directly into the midst of the snake people's forces.

The quartet materialized in a flash, prompting an immediate response from the snake people's army.

“Who are you?”

A cluster of youthful snake people bellowed fiercely.

But the two enormous snake folk perched at the forefront raised their hands and commanded, “Silence!”

Seeing the two Sky-separating Realm snake people issue the order, the group of snake folk swiftly hushed, realizing these four intruders were no pushovers.

“Are you powerhouses from Heavenly Melody Mountain?” The pair of Sky-separating Realm snake people queried simultaneously.

Yang Chen scanned the surroundings and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This snake people's contingent lacked real might, boasting just two Sky-separating Realm figures and no concealed threats.

The snake people's looks were truly captivating. Males exuded striking allure and vibrancy, while females radiated breathtaking elegance.

“You snake people still acknowledge us as Heavenly Melody Mountain affiliates. From your appearances, you two must hold princely ranks.” Dao Guangwang rebuked sharply.

“I serve as the Crown Prince of the snake people!” The two Sky-separating Realm snake folk donned regal attire and carried themselves with poise, as they announced their status, then gestured to the Sky-separating Realm companion nearby: “He is our snake people's newly elevated prince, the eighth in line…”

Broken River appeared familiar with the name: “So you're the snake people's Crown Prince Modao? Your reputation precedes you from years ago. I'm Broken River, and these three are my Heavenly Melody Mountain companions. No need for individual introductions.”

Crown Prince Modao of the snake people froze briefly at Broken River's statement, then responded with evident unease: “So it's the renowned Master Gu of Heavenly Melody Mountain—your fame is well-known to me. We've rushed here to investigate the desert uproar, which involved Sky-separating Realm powerhouses.”

Dao Guangwang retorted icily: “You have the nerve to inquire? We've just faced assault from four of your snake people's Sky-separating Realm experts. Do your kind now boldly target human cultivators like this?”

Broken River interjected: “Brother Dao Guang!”

Dao Guangwang swallowed his fury and fell silent.

Yet Modao couldn't hide his sorrow, exhaling deeply: “Were those four snake people proclaiming allegiance to the Heaven’s Might Army?”

“Indeed, and it seems Crown Prince Modao is aware of them.” Broken River noted.

Modao breathed a heavy sigh: “You four, accompany me into the ancient city palace, where we can delve deeper into the Heaven’s Might Army's affairs.”

Broken River and his two allies weren't quick to consent, but after sharing knowing looks—bypassing Yang Chen—they deemed Modao trustworthy and eventually nodded in agreement.

Broken River stated calmly: “Very well, I trust the Aristocratic Families will provide a satisfactory account for this incident. If not, it'll complicate my report upon return.”

Modao hesitated at those words before flashing a reassuring grin: “Master Gu, have no doubts—I'll ensure you receive a just and thorough clarification on this.”

Broken River refrained from probing more and trailed the troops back to the Desolate Snake Ancient City.

The Desolate Snake Ancient City's placement was remarkably concealed, nestled in a sunken desert hollow and shrouded thickly by swirling sands, rendering it nearly impossible to spot.

Nevertheless, upon locating and penetrating its depths, the group uncovered a verdant paradise within the Desolate Snake Ancient City, brimming with an enchanting vibe.

Spanning millions of miles in construction, the ancient city's majestic expanse teemed with brilliant minds and endless ingenuity. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures flourished abundantly, starkly contrasting the barren outer desert.

Moreover, the snake people's striking features, for both genders, offered yet another marvel. Everywhere one looked, exquisite snake women dazzled with unmatched allure.

“These snake women truly possess innate beauty.” Yang Chen murmured to himself, finding it impossible to dispute.
