The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3325 - 3320: Insect Mother_1

Clueless about Bao Lu's circumstances, he realized that Heng Ye stood as his sole lead at this point. Even if extracting precise details from Heng Ye proved challenging, gleaning hints from whispers and idle talk should pose no great hurdle.

This opportunity demanded careful handling, prompting him to boldly remain within the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix's domain.

Ming Hu let out a gentle sigh upon catching Qian Li's furious outburst, her face reflecting utter helplessness.

Could she have been wrong? Out of everyone, why did Yang Chen show up to assist?

At this moment, it appeared he was merely crashing the scene.

Yet that hardly signified anything, given how Yang Chen had ultimately rescued her life.

"Okay, everyone, let's proceed with our talk on future steps. Those not part of this, kindly exit for the time being," Qian Li remarked coolly, her point unmistakable.

Yang Chen cast a look at Ming Hu, who was gazing right back at him.

"Brother Yang Chen, you should go now," Ming Hu uttered with a strained grin.

Yang Chen departed alongside Ming Hu without another word.

As they made their exit, Heng Ye rose to his feet and followed suit, trailing just behind.

Ming Hu guided Yang Chen away and escorted him to a simple ice crystal chamber inside the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix's compound.

"Brother Yang Chen, endure these quarters if you can," Ming Hu offered with a wry smile, her look brimming with letdown toward him.

Yang Chen grasped her emotions well enough, yet he merely responded with a serene smile. "Thanks, Ming Hu."

Ming Hu held back from further words, reluctant to chat more with Yang Chen. Once she arranged his stay, she added, "Should Brother Yang Chen need anything, just inform me. Still, over these coming days, the compound remains a delicate spot, and as you're not joining our effort to rescue Yue Xingzhenren, it's wiser to avoid wandering freely."

"Got it," Yang Chen answered steadily.

With that, Ming Hu departed, leaving Yang Chen to retreat into his room for some temporary repose.

Though rest was the supposed aim, Yang Chen harbored different intentions.

Upon getting comfortable, Yang Chen swiftly unleashed his divine consciousness, probing the area with utmost caution and precision.

His focus centered on Heng Ye.

Once Yang Chen had gone, Heng Ye exited too. He returned to his own space to unwind.

Still, Yang Chen doubted Heng Ye could relax so casually; some hidden agenda likely drove him.

Unraveling Heng Ye's motives had become his top concern. As things stood, Heng Ye represented the final thread to locating Bao Lu.

Thanks to his divine soul prowess, surveilling Heng Ye undetected came without effort.

From his watch, Heng Ye displayed no oddities at first glance.

Yang Chen stayed patient, holding back and observing steadily.

Days slipped away one after another, and before long, over ten had elapsed in a flash.

For cultivators, those ten days flew by swiftly, yet after that span, Qian Li, Fu Xuanbing, and their allies plotting Yue Xingzhenren's rescue at last mobilized.

Two days later, a sizable team of numerous Sky Separation Realm powerhouses slipped away from the depths, charging directly toward the surface.

Through his divine consciousness, Yang Chen tracked every detail with sharp clarity.

"They're off..." Yang Chen mused inwardly.

But their actions held no sway over him, nor could he dictate their choices.

Heng Ye remained his primary focus.

As surveillance continued, Yang Chen's doubts deepened. Heng Ye's endless lounging carried an air of mystery. After some time, Yang Chen at last uncovered a noteworthy detail.

Heng Ye grew increasingly agitated, as though some inner turmoil kept sleep at bay.

Two more days of this proved too much for Heng Ye to tolerate.

He rose and stepped out.

"Sir Heng Ye," the Unbounded Binghuo Tianfengs on guard outside hailed with deep respect.

Heng Ye declared: "I must head out briefly!"

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes refrained from blocking him, parting to allow his passage.

Immediately after Heng Ye's departure, Yang Chen's gaze sharpened, and without pause, he shadowed him at a close distance.

A hunch told him Heng Ye pursued separate aims. Events now confirmed that suspicion. Tailing him could yield surprising rewards.

Harboring this thought, Yang Chen pursued discreetly, his movements swift yet silent.

Heng Ye, naturally, sensed nothing of this.

In the chase, Yang Chen noted that Heng Ye aimed for a forsaken, desolate stretch on the Ice and Fire Star.

This wasteland lacked any souls, not even ghostly yin spirits lingered, as if the Netherworld's denizens shunned it entirely.

Upon reaching this zone, Yang Chen detected an unnatural vibe.

The spot exuded true eeriness, untouched by even a single Netherworld figure—a bleak, empty expanse.

It appeared abandoned, yet the heavy, bizarre aura matched the outer realms in potency.

Before long, Yang Chen's divine consciousness picked up activity.

"Insect Race?" Yang Chen locked onto his quarry.

A vast swarm of bugs in diverse forms dotted the landscape, most burrowed far below ground.

Yet they evaded Yang Chen's divine consciousness not at all.

"Such a horde of insects!" Yang Chen knew little of the Insect Race. This marked his initial encounter with so vast a number.

These bugs boasted strong cultivations, many at the Realmless realm, with lesser ones at True God and Enlightenment Stage.

The moment Yang Chen detected these insects, they surged from hiding spots everywhere, encircling Heng Ye in a heartbeat.

"What brings an Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix into our domain?"

"Does it matter? He's here now, so we'll eliminate him. This Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix will nourish our kind immensely!"

In their dealings, Heng Ye had struck Yang Chen as hesitant and without backbone.

Yet at this instant, Heng Ye's face turned icy as he stated, "I am Heng Ye from the Ice and Fire Heavenly Phoenix Royal Clan. I've come to confer on a vital issue with your Insect Mother. You lot ought to know of this."

"Insect Race? And Heng Ye? What's the link?" Questions flooded Yang Chen's mind.

While pondering, Yang Chen observed closely.

Hearing Heng Ye's declaration, the insects shared looks, their demeanor shifting a bit.

"Is that Heng Ye?"

"I know of Heng Ye. His position carries weight. We shouldn't challenge him. Escort him to the Insect Mother instead."
