The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3282 - 3277: Arriving at the Earth Spirit Hall_1

The attitudes of the four individuals inside the Cave Mansion weren't particularly welcoming. Now, faced with the stern remarks, they clearly showed strong resistance and revulsion toward Yang Chen's intention to reside in their Cave Mansion.

Mo Wenfeng had clearly foreseen this reaction, so for a moment, he offered kind apologies and gentle persuasion, eventually soothing the other three.

Yet, a cultivator named Lu displayed obvious dissatisfaction. Despite Mo Wenfeng's many flattering words, his demeanor remained largely unchanged.

"Absurd, Brother Mo, this Cave Mansion belongs to the five of us. You dragged someone in without consulting us. Do you even respect the four of us?" The man surnamed Lu twirled his mustache, his tone icy cold.

At these words, Mo Wenfeng's brows knitted together. He hadn't anticipated such hostility, but having already escorted Yang Chen here, he felt compelled to defend him.

"Brother Lu Tao, now that I've brought him along, I ask you to make some allowance." Mo Wenfeng stated.

Lu Tao let out a snort, "Absurd, you hauled him here without our input, so why should we honor your request? Either remove him, or Brother Mo, you depart alongside him."

Mo Wenfeng's expression hardened, his irritation barely concealed. Still, realizing the escalation would be his own doing, he chose to remain conciliatory.

He parted his lips faintly and conveyed a private message to Lu Tao via sound transmission.

Upon receiving the transmission, Lu Tao's face softened somewhat.

Mo Wenfeng quickly added, "Brother Lu, I beg your understanding."

The remaining three hadn't witnessed the subtle interaction, but Yang Chen's keen gaze caught Mo Wenfeng secretly sending something to Lu Tao, which eased his features slightly: "Very well, this once only, and no repeats. But!"

Mo Wenfeng inquired with confusion, "What suggestion does Brother Lu Tao offer?"

He aimed simply to placate Lu Tao at present, since the others posed less difficulty.

"But our Cave Mansion lacks sufficient room. I refuse to surrender any of mine regardless. Only a cramped spot remains. If he's content to cram in there, he can remain. Otherwise, I'm powerless to help." Lu Tao declared flatly.

These words made Mo Wenfeng's countenance grave.

What exactly had he whispered to Lu Tao moments ago?

He'd vowed to hand over one of the elixirs from Yang Chen to Lu Tao in secret. Yet Lu Tao's greed persisted. Though he consented, he refused to regard Yang Chen as a true guest.

Would that tiny nook even fit a person? Likely, movement would prove challenging beyond mere sitting and cultivation.

No one, not even if it weren't Yang Chen, could endure such conditions.

Nevertheless, Yang Chen stayed composed and nonchalant. Noticing Mo Wenfeng's distress, he grinned and remarked, "A tight space is no issue for me; I can manage."

Mo Wenfeng, upon hearing this, responded, "Excellent, that's reassuring. Brother Yang Chen might not know the Earth Spirit Hall well, so tomorrow when we depart, I'll guide you there."

Guilt gnawed at Mo Wenfeng inwardly. He'd accepted Yang Chen's elixir yet failed to secure decent lodging. To compensate, he resolved to escort Yang Chen to the Earth Spirit Hall come morning.

Yang Chen grinned, "That's fine, many thanks, Brother Mo."

He held low expectations for housing. Though the squeezed corner allowed just enough for sitting and cultivation, it sufficed for his needs.

With no intention of lingering long-term, he sought merely a quiet refuge away from foreign race interference.

Next, he'd visit the Earth Spirit Hall to gather details on merits and launch his scheme to rise as a 'Protector Emperor Lord.'

Naturally, while claiming indifference, he wouldn't overlook the contempt directed his way.

In his mind, Yang Chen settled into the corner and commenced silent cultivation.

Witnessing this, Mo Wenfeng's remorse deepened, prompting him to yield part of his area, allowing Yang Chen space for additional activities.

Thus, they dwelled in the Cave Mansion for another pair of days.

Merely two days later, Yang Chen rose, ready to venture to the Earth Spirit Hall alongside Mo Wenfeng.

Yet, the moment they stood, Lu Tao and his three companions shared knowing looks, after which Lu Tao announced, "Brother Mo, fresh intelligence has arrived. Trouble stirs at Haiyuan Star, and they require our aid. We've monitored Haiyuan Star extensively, and its risks remain low. The Jiyu Essence reward may be modest, but it fits us perfectly. Brother Mo, await us at the Earth Spirit Hall. In due course, all five shall tackle this task as one."

The mention of 'Haiyuan Star' lit up Mo Wenfeng's eyes. He'd tracked it closely for ages, and the update filled him with delight, "At last, Haiyuan Star calls for our move. However... "

After some pause, Mo Wenfeng ventured, "Brother Lu, with Brother Yang Chen now part of our Cave Mansion, why not have all six of us join this mission?"

"This... wouldn't that be improper?" Lu Tao's brow creased.

He harbored lingering suspicion toward Yang Chen; above all, as a novice unfamiliar with the Ancient Divine Realm, what skills could he possess?

Over their extended stay in the Ancient Divine Realm, they'd encountered myriad souls. Countless Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses, renowned beyond these bounds, had fallen here routinely.

Lacking unique abilities, survival proved fleeting.

Lu Tao rubbed his chin, evidently nursing a grudge against Yang Chen, "Brother Yang Chen surely has his own arrangements, doesn't he?"

Yang Chen perceived that Lu Tao and the rest had no desire to include him. Solely Mo Wenfeng showed concern, evoking a touch of gratitude in him.

Though Mo Wenfeng's earnestness arose partly from awareness of Yang Chen's prowess, it also reflected genuine character.

"Indeed, I have separate intentions. I won't meddle in your five's opportunity," Yang Chen replied.

Internally, Mo Wenfeng fumed. If Lu Tao only realized, Yang Chen's presence would prove a boon.

Regardless of other talents, Yang Chen's slaying of Fan Tian that day stood fact. His battle strength at their side would ensure the group's safety.

But the moment had passed, so he merely uttered, "Very well, Brother Yang Chen, off we go."

Exchanging no further words, Yang Chen departed with Mo Wenfeng toward the Earth Spirit Hall.

Unwilling to hasten excessively, the duo required a full day to arrive at the Earth Spirit Hall.

The vast Earth Spirit Hall resembled the gaping maw of a colossal beast. This imposing behemoth exuded grandeur, its twin massive horns thrusting upward like keen blades before all onlookers.
