The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3243 - 3238: The Problem with Mo Dao (Ink Blade)!_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Deep thoughts swirled in Yang Chen's mind.
His abilities were remarkable, yet slipping past numerous barriers without a sound to approach the target proved challenging.
His spacetime technique offered the sole reliable option.
Should Crown Prince Modao grow overconfident in his barrier expertise and neglect vigilance around him, Yang Chen's spacetime technique could enable a stealthy breach.
"However, getting caught would surely rouse the foe. And should this Crown Prince prove innocent, explaining myself would be tough." Yang Chen whispered to himself.
To move forward or hold back?
Moments later, Yang Chen resolved to gamble and proceed.
He began by activating the law protection to shield himself from the Heavenly Dao's keen scrutiny.
Next, he slipped out quietly, making his way to Crown Prince Modao's dwelling.
Once there, Yang Chen clearly detected the overlapping barriers enveloping the vicinity.
"This many forbidden array formations?" A chill crossed Yang Chen's face, "I refuse to believe you're not concealing something."
The forbidden array formations displayed clever design, yet they proved useless against his spacetime techniques.
Yang Chen extended his hand toward the formation, deploying spacetime law, which promptly formed a gap. He was swiftly enveloped within it.
Following his entry into the formation, the barriers seamlessly reverted to normal. Throughout the process, Yang Chen moved without a whisper or hint of disturbance.
Right away, Yang Chen breached yet another barrier layer and drew close to Crown Prince Modao.
At that spot, even denser barriers loomed.
"From here, pushing ahead would expose me despite the spacetime law... Ah? I see!"
Yang Chen extended his spacetime law as before.
A narrow gap materialized through the spacetime law.
Through that tiny gap, Yang Chen projected his two souls, positioning them in a shadowy corner by Modao.
"Hm?"
The instant his soul slipped inside, the scene sharpened instantly. Yang Chen observed Modao in the heavily guarded chamber, relishing the attentions of a snake person servant girl. Their serpentine forms intertwined, revealing the intimate nature of their encounter.
Yang Chen remained patient, biding his time until their liaison concluded.
After all, this snake person servant girl was among those who had attended to Broken River.
Nestled against Modao, the servant girl murmured tenderly, "Master, from now on, I wish only to attend you. I never want to wait on those hideous humans again."
"Xiang’er, rest easy. Once my grand scheme concludes, I'll bring you home." Modao offered a soft smile.
Xiang’er, the servant girl, flushed deeply, thrilled beyond words, "Thank you, Master."
A glint of cunning flickered in Modao’s gaze before vanishing, "Xiang’er, speak up—did the folks at Broken River doubt you? How did they allow your return?"
"They suspected us earlier, but that human Yang Chen appeared merciful, releasing us. Master, you can't imagine my fear then; I feared we'd never reunite in this lifetime." Xiang’er cooed playfully in Modao’s embrace.
Modao's eyes tightened a bit, "So suspicion lingers toward you?"
"Yet here I am, back with you," Xiang’er replied.
"Indeed, your return is what counts." Modao replied warmly, "Xiang’er, keep this talk between us alone. You're the only one I trust."
Xiang’er bobbed her head eagerly, "Xiang’er understands."
"Good, now leave," Modao instructed.
Xiang’er rose compliantly and departed.
Yet as she pivoted, Modao flicked his hand, impaling her form outright, her eyes bulging in shock.
Even in her final moments, she refused to accept her master's betrayal.
Her frame shattered entirely from the injury's core, dissolving into oblivion.
Modao smirked coldly, "Defiled by human touch, you dreamed of wedding me? Foolish notion. Know your place, Xiang’er. If fault lies anywhere, it's your excess knowledge. Humans may have spared you, but I won't grant such mercy."
The entire brutal display unfolded directly in Yang Chen’s view, witnessed in full.
At this sight, a faint smile tugged at Yang Chen’s mouth; he retracted his soul, gaining full clarity.
Though the exchange between Modao and Xiang’er yielded no vital secrets, one truth stood firm—Modao harbored deep paranoia.
Back then, halting Broken River's execution of Xiang’er and her fellow snake servants hadn't aimed at drawing out the culprit. Who could foresee witnessing this revelation?
Had Xiang’er perished then, uncovering Modao's secrets might have remained impossible.
Yang Chen massaged his brow, "Affairs in the Nine Dragons World grow ever more intriguing..."
He lingered without haste, observing Modao's exit in silence. When the prince left, Yang Chen bounded away, employing spacetime to slip back undetected to his quarters.
Three days had elapsed by then.
Yang Chen's return coincided with the Broken River trio already rapping at his door.
"Brother Yang Chen, three days are up, and the royal folks have come. Time to depart," Broken River announced.
Yang Chen rose, unlocking the door, "Fine, let's head out."
Emerging outside, they found Crown Prince Modao present, apparently arriving just before Yang Chen.
Relief washed over Yang Chen, grateful for evading detection.
Modao now wore a serene grin, betraying no wariness, and declared, "Come with me; my father the king awaits in the royal palace."
"Sure, onward we go," Broken River consented.
Guided by Modao, the group reached the royal palace in moments.
Spotting Yang Chen and companions nearing, Wind Emperor flashed a sycophantic grin, "Master Gu, perfect timing. King Ming Cheng is here too. We'll proceed at once to the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower."
Broken River eyed King Ming Cheng and the rest—all twelve Heaven-separated Realm experts assembled—and scoffed icily, "Wind Emperor, show us the path. I'm curious what makes your Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower so remarkable."
Wind Emperor chuckled obsequiously, directing a throng of snake people while beaming jovially, escorting Yang Chen and the rest toward the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.
On this occasion, Wind Emperor joined them in person, haunted still by the vanishing of Fairy Moon Fu and her six companions from Heavenly Melody Mountain.
Should he skip attendance now and mishaps recur, the snake race's full might couldn't withstand Heavenly Melody Mountain's wrath.
Hence, the majestic entourage embarked, swiftly reaching a tower encircled by a colossal serpent...
