The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3332 - 3327: Saving Yue Xingzhenren?_1

"Yue Xingzhenren? What happened to Yue Xingzhenren?" Bao Lu had absolutely no knowledge of the incident.

Yang Chen felt no astonishment, given that Bao Lu appeared to have been confined for an extended period. Moreover, the Ice and Fire Phoenix Clan had utterly regarded her as a mere sacrifice to secure their clan's prospects.

Noticing her ignorance, he proceeded to detail the events to Bao Lu.

Upon learning this, Bao Lu responded with intense emotion, "How could they decide on something like that? To save Yue Xingzhenren, have they lost their minds? The Netherworld forces seized Yue Xingzhenren without ending his life, clearly plotting to draw out the Ice and Fire Phoenix Clan into a deadly snare and capture everyone in one fell swoop. And yet they persist in such recklessness."

With hands clasped behind his back, Yang Chen responded, "This situation baffles me as well. From what we see, your clan's top experts likely refuse to allow Fu Xuanbing and the Earth Spirit Hall members to capitalize on this golden chance. Indeed, successfully freeing Yue Xingzhenren would provide greater stability and benefit to the Ice and Fire Phoenix."

Trading Bao Lu for the Insect Race's Star Tong to access the Heaven-appointed Realm lacked the reliability of rescuing Yue Xingzhenren. The Ice and Fire Phoenix Clan's members weren't idiots and could surely recognize this.

That was why they aimed for an ideal outcome on both fronts. They would swap Bao Lu for Star Tong while simultaneously attempting Yue Xingzhenren's rescue to offer their clan yet another shot at success.

One had to admit it was a flawless strategy, yet the Ice and Fire Phoenix Clan had misjudged their own strength and also overestimated Fu Xuanbing along with the Earth Spirit Hall's powerhouse.

Extracting prisoners was no simple endeavor.

Bao Lu felt deep concern and unease, "If things stand like this, then our clan's elites could face dire mishaps."

"I share that view. That's precisely why I believe we should head over and check the location where Yue Xingzhenren is held captive," Yang Chen stated.

At those words, Bao Lu clenched her teeth, "Yang Chen, let's go see for ourselves."

"Naturally, that's exactly what I had in mind," Yang Chen replied with an easy grin. As their discussion wrapped up, he guided Bao Lu to rise.

Using his divine sense, locating Yue Xingzhenren's concealment spot posed no challenge for him. Furthermore, the Netherworld's ghost kings had originally plotted to employ Yue Xingzhenren as bait to draw forth additional powerhouses, so they had no intention of hiding his position whatsoever.

Discovering it was utterly straightforward.

Yang Chen drew upon the laws of spacetime, making passage across interfaces as swift as a mere instant. Arriving here proved effortless beyond measure.

Guiding Bao Lu, they arrived at the site in no time at all.

Black Peak Lonely Desert.

This served as the very place of Yue Xingzhenren's captivity.

Upon their arrival, Bao Lu drew in a sharp breath, her gaze brimming with astonishment. Were it her alone, she couldn't have reached this spot so swiftly and undetected as Yang Chen had.

Yang Chen's command over spacetime had grown far more formidable since their initial encounter.

Yet Yang Chen remained composed, confronting the heavily fortified defenses here that sealed off every draft. A quick scan revealed no obvious way to breach such barriers.

"The security here is incredibly tight..." Bao Lu marveled.

"It needs to be rigorous. Anything less would scream that these Netherworld Ghosts are setting up an obvious trap for your clan," Yang Chen chuckled.

"So, what's our move? Can you detect any Netherworld ambushes?" Bao Lu inquired.

"None that I can pick up," Yang Chen denied with a shake of his head.

"You can't sense them?" Bao Lu's lips parted in surprise, "Does that mean the Netherworld has truly abandoned this area?"

Yang Chen smiled, aware that Bao Lu hoped no harm would befall those individuals. But reality's harshness often proved more intricate than it appeared.

"You ought to wish we could detect the ambushes, for if we can't, it suggests the lurking threats might be Heaven-appointed Realm ghost kings," Yang Chen explained.

A shiver ran through Bao Lu, as she too grasped this truth, though she had instinctively wished to deny it.

Should a Heaven-appointed Realm ghost king truly be concealed here in ambush right now, the odds of those powerhouses suffering heavy losses would skyrocket.

"Where could they be?" Bao Lu questioned in shock.

Yang Chen answered steadily, "I'm uncertain, but I sense they're concealed, poised to strike at any moment."

"Even you can't pinpoint them?" Bao Lu asked in disbelief.

"If I could, their concealment techniques would be mediocre at best. Such flaws would have exposed them ages ago," Yang Chen noted.

At that, Bao Lu had to concede the point; otherwise, Qian Li and the rest would have perished long before.

Yang Chen likewise acknowledged that since Qian Li and company had ventured into this territory, they undoubtedly possessed hidden aces.

The group had certainly reached the area, merely lurking in shadows, biding their time. Yet their persistent invisibility despite Yang Chen's thorough divine sense sweeps indicated meticulous preparations prior to arrival.

"What should we do next?" Bao Lu wondered.

Though decisive by nature, in Yang Chen's presence, she instinctively sought his guidance. This stemmed from his magnetic allure, drawing others to depend on him naturally.

Yang Chen advised, "Stay calm and observe patiently."

With those words, Yang Chen extended his divine sense's reach, settling in to watch developments unfold slowly.

Time flew by in an instant, marking a full day.

Before long, two days turned into five, then ten!

In the twinkling of an eye, ten complete days elapsed, yet Qian Li and the others exhibited no movement whatsoever.

This left Yang Chen pondering just what scheme Qian Li and his allies were brewing.

Still, he couldn't help but view Qian Li more favorably. It was evident these weren't rash hotheads; they had a solid strategy. The lack of advancement over consecutive days highlighted their remarkable endurance.

Nevertheless, such restraint didn't endure indefinitely. Two more days later, under Yang Chen's vigilant watch, he abruptly detected shifts.

"They're making their move," Yang Chen announced.

"Huh?" Bao Lu startled.

A sly upturn graced Yang Chen's lips, "They've finally acted, and it looks like they've advanced over halfway already. The delay in noticing wasn't due to inaction on their part, but our failure to spot it earlier."

"How is that possible?" Bao Lu stared in confusion, still grappling with the revelation.

Yang Chen offered a subtle smile, "They're remarkably astute; I can't say what technique they employed, but they've transformed into ghost beings. Several days back, they somehow posed as Mahayana-period Ghost Honors guards. Take a closer look at those four Ghost Honors posted at the formation outside Yue Xingzhenren's cell."
