The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3321 - 3316: Convergence of All Paths_1

Though Ling Fei felt a touch of reluctance at Ming Hu's words, he ultimately had to comply with them.

The whole Netherworld outpost in this spot got obliterated right away. At that moment, Yang Chen and his companions departed stealthily, their location remaining a mystery to everyone.

It took only half a day after they left for a band of Netherworld ghost beings to show up at the site.

Leading this pack of Netherworld entities were figures all possessing Heaven-separated Realm cultivation.

Several Ghost King powerhouses at the Heaven-separated Realm descended upon the area, gazing downward with icy glares full of killing intent.

"Based on what those few Heavenly Fate Realm specialists have said, it's these Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes that have been troubling us. Yet, no matter how formidable the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes are, they couldn't possibly wipe out our outpost in such a manner. Something suspicious must be at play here!"

"Lately, warriors from Earth Spirit Hall have been spotted around. From the reports, it looks like Fu Xuanbing of Earth Spirit Hall has entered the scene. Stay alert, everyone. This Fu Xuanbing proves to be rather difficult to deal with."

"What rubbish; he's merely got some reputation. Should Fu Xuanbing show up, he'll never make it back alive!"

Following their debate, the Netherworld Ghost Kings uncovered no leads and departed one by one.

...

Meanwhile, Yang Chen trailed after Ming Hu the Heavenly Phoenix and the group as they made their way to the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan's base.

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan's outpost was truly masterfully concealed. Prior to arriving, Yang Chen had never imagined such a sizable population of Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes dwelling in this place.

The outpost lay beneath the surface.

An enormous underground space had been hollowed out, enclosed by a Formation. To outsiders, any attempt at soul sense probing would suggest the Formation's interior was vacant and unremarkable.

Yang Chen now stood beyond the Formation.

As his divine soul probed inside, he detected absolutely nothing.

"Your concealing Formation is incredibly tough to spot. From outside, peering in reveals no hint that your clan is concealed within." Yang Chen remarked with a sigh.

Ming Hu grinned and replied, "This Formation represents the hidden legacy Formation of our Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan. Thanks to it, we've managed to endure the Netherworld's relentless hunts for so many years. Without this Formation, the Netherworld race would have wiped our clan out long ago."

Yang Chen caught the sorrow in Ming Hu's tone, which heightened his anxiety over Bao Lu's well-being. He remained uncertain about the perils Bao Lu faced.

During the trip, he avoided direct questions regarding Bao Lu's status, having inquired with Heng Ye earlier, whose response had left him wary.

This encounter with Ming Hu demanded extra care, so en route, he opted for subtle probing instead of outright queries about Bao Lu.

Through this approach, he gained much insight into the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix and Ice and Fire Star. He realized the circumstances across all of Ice and Fire Star were far more intricate than he had anticipated.

While deep in his thoughts, a stir arose from inside the Formation.

Yang Chen glanced that way and watched as the solid ground abruptly split wide, with multiple figures warily poking out from the resulting void.

At once, Yang Chen noted that these beings held cultivations up to the Nirvana Stage and Great Stage.

"Lord Ming Hu is here!"

Spotting Ming Hu, the emerging heads lit up with astonishment before bursting into delight, "It's truly Lord Ming Hu! Lord Ming Hu has been saved! Hahaha!"

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes beamed with happiness upon seeing Ming Hu and Ling Fei back unharmed, expressing their worries for the pair.

Xuan Feng's standing surged swiftly, given his role in rescuing Ming Hu and Ling Fei.

Once greetings wrapped up, the cluster of Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix elites shifted their attention to Yang Chen.

"By the way, who might this human cultivator be..." the elites inquired.

Ling Fei, harboring no fondness for Yang Chen, stayed quiet. Ming Hu smiled and clarified, "This is Yang Chen from the human race's Earth Spirit Hall."

"From Earth Spirit Hall?" The group all showed surprise.

Ming Hu parted her crimson lips faintly, "Is there an issue?"

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix elites brightened up, "That's fantastic! Lord Ming Hu might not be aware, but right now, two teams from Earth Spirit Hall are stationed in our outpost."

"Two teams?" Ming Hu appeared puzzled.

Yang Chen felt equally startled, unclear on the details.

The Sky Phoenix elites explained, "Lord Ming Hu has been held captive for quite some time and likely doesn't know. Of these two Earth Spirit Hall teams, one is headed by Yue Xingzhenren. You ought to recognize Yue Xingzhenren, Lord Ming Hu."

"Yue Xingzhenren—I am acquainted with them. Our clan shares a profound bond with them." Ming Hu let out a sigh.

The Sky Phoenix elites shook their heads in regret, "Sadly, Yue Xingzhenren clashed solo against multiple Heavenly Fate Realm Ghost Kings to aid our clan and got seized and locked away. We couldn't assist, and the remnants of Yue Xingzhenren's squad include numerous Sky Separation Realm experts who had vanished earlier. Yet just days back, they crossed paths with our patrol and got escorted here."

Ming Hu's face lit with joy as she chuckled, "Wonderful tidings! Yue Xingzhenren's followers are secure. It's a silver lining in tough times. As for the other team..."

"The other team features another renowned figure from Earth Spirit Hall. Lord Ming Hu might not know of them, but meeting will surely astonish you. With both Earth Spirit Hall teams now present, our clan's power grows stronger. And adding this expert from Earth Spirit Hall!" The elites eyed Yang Chen with high hopes.

Yet Yang Chen merely smiled and shook his head.

Hearing this, he grasped the ongoing scenario better.

The initial team under Yue Xingzhenren was the Heavenly Fate Realm group he had learned of before setting out.

Regarding the second team, barring surprises, it likely involved someone he knew well.

"We keep running into one another." Yang Chen shook his head.

Ming Hu gave a gentle smile, "Brother Yang Chen, you've come from Earth Spirit Hall to aid our Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan too! Once you link up with the other Earth Spirit Hall experts, our clan becomes invincible!"

"Excellent, Lord Ming Hu. With these Heaven-separated Realm elders present, why not visit them right away?" The Sky Phoenix elites suggested.

"Indeed, that's my plan. Guide us there." Ming Hu responded calmly, then added with a smile, "Brother Yang Chen, join us."

Yang Chen suspected the identity of the other human squad, but dodging them didn't suit him. Naturally, he chose to proceed and see for himself.
