The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3258 - 3253: Directly Initiate War_1

The swift comeback of those Sky Separation Realm experts inevitably caught the eye of the mighty Snake people in the Royal Family.

Indeed, during such a vital moment, the Snake People’s Royal Family had to stay vigilant without fail.

Broken River and the Grand Abyss Palace folks rushed over fast to check the disturbance. For an instant, they even suspected the Netherworld Ghosts had struck again.

Yet upon closer inspection, everyone present stood there in stunned silence.

In particular, Broken River and his companions stared at the sight ahead, questioning if their eyes were deceiving them.

Right there before them was the exact group that had vanished from Heavenly Melody Mountain—Fairy Moon Fu and her allies.

"Junior Sister Moon Orchid, Junior Brother Mu!" Broken River let out a booming laugh, hurrying up with immense delight: "What on earth is happening?"

Fairy Moon Fu, Mu Tianhe, and the rest lit up with joy at the sight of Broken River and his group.

"It’s all because of Brother Yang Chen. Didn’t Senior Brother Gu already know?" Mu Tianhe inquired, taken aback.

Broken River and the two other experts remained clueless for now. Spotting Yang Chen in their midst left them utterly shocked. They had assumed he was holed up in his quarters, unaware of his departure. Now here he was, rescuing key sect members, which left them reeling in surprise.

"Brother Yang Chen, what’s the story?" Madame Autumn Plum questioned, confused.

Yang Chen grinned and recounted the full sequence of events.

Learning how Yang Chen had long doubted Mo Dao and clashed cleverly with Huan Ye Ming Wang, trailing Mo Dao in secret to rescue the captives, left Broken River and the others struggling to process it all.

They came to feel like dead weight beside Yang Chen.

Still, having a ally like him proved to be their tremendous luck. Words weren’t even necessary. Yang Chen’s presence meant no more fretting— he could handle it all on his own.

"Brother Yang Chen, why keep it from us earlier?" Broken River remarked with a helpless grin.

"I wasn’t holding back on purpose, but back then, my suspicion of Mo Dao lacked proof—it was just my hunch. Turns out, it was pure luck, like a blind cat finding a mouse. By tailing Mo Dao, I ended up saving you six." Yang Chen replied with a light chuckle.

Broken River got it at last: "Ah, so that’s the case."

Meanwhile, the Wind Emperor and his Snake people Royal Family members felt equally baffled, turning to Yang Chen with wry expressions: "Brother Yang Chen, how could Mo Dao turn against our royal family and side with the enemy? This is unbelievable."

"A Soul Search will uncover everything." Yang Chen indicated Mo Dao.

Mo Dao, fully conscious now and trembling, gazed at Yang Chen and the Wind Emperor, pleading desperately: "Wind Emperor Sir, please help me—I’m not guilty! Don’t trust these humans so readily. They’re trying to sow discord among us. You have to see through the lies."

The Wind Emperor ignored him and proceeded straight to the Soul Search.

He rested his hand atop Mo Dao’s head to perform the Soul Search, then let out a heavy sigh.

With that, the facts stood revealed, requiring no more words.

The Wind Emperor declared: "Mo Dao, Mo Dao, you’ve truly erred gravely."

As the Soul Search wrapped up, leaving no secrets concealed, Mo Dao stared at the Wind Emperor in terror and cried out: "Wind Emperor Sir, humans never see us Snake people as equals—they view us as mere slaves or beasts. Why bow to them? The Netherworld offers us real gains, a chance for our Snake people to rise! Why cling to these greedy humans?"

His outburst left many in the crowd quiet. Truth be told, among those gathered, who truly regarded the Snake people as peers?

The Wind Emperor huffed at Mo Dao’s furious outburst and turned his eyes toward Yang Chen.

Yang Chen understood the implication: "This falls under Wind Emperor Daoist Friend’s internal affairs. I left him alive so you could handle it yourself."

Gratitude filled the Wind Emperor’s gaze as he looked at Yang Chen.

He’d always liked Yang Chen, for in dealings with their Snake people, Yang Chen showed no arrogance or human superiority.

Everyone else carried that superior mindset.

Had it been another person, they’d have slain Mo Dao outright, disregarding his feelings—what recourse would the Wind Emperor have then?

Yang Chen’s choice granted him the utmost respect possible.

Without delay, the Wind Emperor unleashed a palm strike, slamming into Mo Dao’s form.

Mo Dao’s body jerked violently, and moments later, his soul shattered as the Wind Emperor’s strike ended him.

The Wind Emperor’s heart ached over Mo Dao’s demise. After all, he was his firstborn, and ending him personally brought deep sorrow.

Yet he recognized the necessity of his decision, unlike Mo Dao’s folly.

He remained ignorant of the Netherworld’s lures to Mo Dao, and he knew humans scorned their Snake people.

Ultimately, though, their Snake people’s weakness lay at the root.

When feeble, why expect human regard?

Given their Snake people’s power level, human protection was already a boon in the Nine Dragons World. True alliance with the Netherworld—would they honor the Snake people then?

They’d just become disposable pawns.

"Fellow Daoists of the human race, Mo Dao conspired with the Netherworld, so our Snake people Royal Family must declare our loyalty." The Wind Emperor stated firmly.

"Excellent." King Ming Cheng scoffed, then guided the Grand Abyss Palace powerhouses away.

He had cause to depart. At first, the Grand Abyss Palace outnumbered Yang Chen’s side. But now, with Fairy Moon Fu and others safely back, their edge in numbers had vanished. Plus, Yang Chen loomed as an extraordinary force!

Even more so, Yang Chen held the advantage!

How could King Ming Cheng feel content? He departed swiftly, unwilling to stay.

At this, Broken River chuckled: "Junior Brothers and Sisters, those Grand Abyss Palace intruders were here to steal our glory. The four of us alone against them was quite the strain. But now that you’re here, everything’s under control."

"By the way, Brother Yang Chen, what’s your plan moving forward?" Dao Guangwang and Madame Autumn Plum asked instinctively.

In earlier times, they’d have consulted Broken River first.

But Yang Chen had clearly become their pillar now.

Yang Chen beamed: "From the Soul Search on Mo Dao, I’ve learned Huan Ye Ming Wang’s whereabouts—he might be lying in wait. I propose we charge straight at Huan Ye Ming Wang. The Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag remains with him, no doubt. What says the group?"

"King of Hell?"

Broken River and his group were unaware, but Fairy Moon Fu and the rest knew the details well.

"Hmph, I’ve put up with them long enough. Starting a fight is the right move."
