The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3337 - 3332: Discovered?_1

Yang Chen inquired puzzledly, "What exactly do you mean by 'unfortunately'?"
Yue Xing Zhen Ren let out a sigh, "It's simply regrettable that despite all your hard work in rescuing me and the sacrifices made, my personal power can't offer you significant advantages regarding the Jiyu Essence."
Yang Chen found himself smiling, noticing the despair in Yue Xing Zhen Ren's gaze.
This reaction was entirely expected.
Though Yue Xing Zhen Ren possessed formidable might, he remained merely a Heaven-appointed Realm cultivator in the end. In the face of the three Heaven-appointed Realm experts on the Ice and Fire Star, rescuing him made sense. Yet, it appeared as a squandering of efforts for them, selecting an improper focus for their endeavors.
Upon catching Yue Xing Zhen Ren's sigh, Yang Chen grinned and responded, "Senior Yue Xing, you may have gotten the wrong idea. To begin with, Junior and the folks from earlier aren't part of the same faction. Our strategies and objectives differ entirely. Moreover, I freed Senior Yue Xing solely to aid the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix Sect and protect the Ice and Fire Star. My primary aim is to boost my battle strength. Concerning the Jiyu Essence, I haven't dwelled on it excessively."
Hearing these words, Yue Xing Zhen Ren froze in astonishment, "So you're saying you and those individuals from moments ago aren't allies?"
"That's correct, in a precise sense. Still, I do belong to the Earth Spirit Hall, though as a wandering cultivator. Thus, seniors can feel at ease," Yang Chen explained.
Only then did Yue Xing Zhen Ren comprehend, drawing in a profound breath, "Young fellow, your solo journey here is truly impressive. I must praise your intellect and bravery. May I know your name?"
"Yang Chen," Yang Chen answered.
…
By now, Fu Xuanbing had summoned the pair of Ghost Kings overseeing the vicinity.
These two Ghost Kings, tasked with watching over the cluster of cultivators, were evidently displeased. While everyone else enjoyed the triumph celebration, they were stuck on guard duty; such a situation would frustrate anyone.
Due to this frustration, the two Ghost Kings growled, "What do you require? Why all this commotion?"
"Esteemed Ghost Kings, there's a matter I wish to confer with you about," Fu Xuanbing declared, his face twisted in irritation and frenzy.
He was perpetually this way; if others denied him pleasure, he would ensure they suffered too, regardless of the expense or the underhanded tactics employed.
The two Ghost Kings eyed him with narrowed lids, "Boy, what are you trying to convey? I suggest you avoid any deceptions. If not, we'll torment you beyond endurance."
Fu Xuanbing's lips twitched faintly, then he covertly relayed the intelligence on Yang Chen's presence, detailing every aspect to the two Ghost Kings.
"What? You're claiming someone sneaked in here undetected?"
"Cultivators have infiltrated this area?"
The two Ghost Kings stood stupefied, struggling to accept Fu Xuanbing's account as factual.
"Is this truth you're speaking? Turning against your comrades like this—it seems like fabrication!"
The two Ghost Kings naturally harbored doubts toward Fu Xuanbing's words.
Fu Xuanbing smirked viciously, "Hehe, that human refuses to rescue me, so why should I ease his path? Rest easy, you two; he can't escape far. Search leisurely if you must. He didn't venture here idly."
With this revelation, suspicion crept into the two Ghost Kings. Though they doubted Fu Xuanbing's motives, caution urged them to act. Notifying superiors on such intelligence was prudent.
"You head to alert Master Four Directions; I'll secure this location," one Ghost King commanded.
"Understood," the other Ghost King replied swiftly, departing to deliver the report.
…
In the meantime, Yang Chen continued his discussion with Yue Xing Zhen Ren.
Although Yang Chen yearned to hasten Yue Xing Zhen Ren's rescue given the pressing time limits, Yue Xing Zhen Ren sighed deeply, "Yang Chen, my young companion, there's no rush to prioritize my liberation. Forget whether you can dismantle this array alone or if it draws the Four-direction Ghost Kings' notice. Even supposing success in freeing me, you'd merely ensnare yourself with the Three Great Destiny Realm Ghost Kings. They confined me, subjected me to agonies craving demise, and infused deadly toxins within my form. My physique bears countless scars now, rendering me useless even if rescued. It's unworthy of your commitment."
Yang Chen grew to respect Yue Xing Zhen Ren further. Beyond his candor, Yue Xing Zhen Ren had openly shared all details.
Were it a sly individual instead, they might recognize that disclosing such vulnerabilities could deter rescuers and thus withhold personal secrets.
Yang Chen chuckled heartily, "Senior Yue Xing, hold onto hope. I grasp your sentiments. Fortunately, I'm versed in medicine too, so perhaps I can address your afflictions."
"Truly? You're proficient in the Pill Doctor's Way as well?" Yue Xing Zhen Ren exclaimed in shock.
Yang Chen affirmed with a nod, arms clasped behind him.
This revelation astonished and elated Yue Xing Zhen Ren equally, prompting laughter, "Splendid tidings, Brother Yang Chen. Should you indeed liberate and heal me, I'll be indebted for my life. I'd charge into combat unyieldingly for you, sacrificing everything without remorse."
Yang Chen sensed Yue Xing Zhen Ren's genuine intent and inwardly questioned no more. He recognized that such honorable figures could fulfill those vows.
"We'll address the future later; time slips away. Allow me to extract Senior first," Yang Chen stated.
"My gratitude," Yue Xing Zhen Ren inclined his head.
The array proved intricately arcane, yet Yang Chen's Hand of Space-time rendered it trivial.
He advanced with a gentle stride, unleashing a vivid blue emblem that unfurled rapidly.
As the blue emblem expanded, Yue Xing Zhen Ren sensed an overwhelming energy encasing him.
He had pondered curiously the method Yang Chen might employ for escape, but ere his musings concluded, a haze clouded his sight, and he stood beyond the array's bounds.
Such an arcane and masterful technique left even Yue Xing Zhen Ren bewildered.
What precisely transpired? How had deliverance occurred?
Yang Chen curved his lips faintly; having extricated Yue Xing Zhen Ren, his objective stood fulfilled.
For him, employing space-time to draw Yue Xing Zhen Ren from the array demanded no exertion.
The array had been crafted as utterly sealed and profoundly intricate. Not even a premier array specialist could unravel it sans years of toil. Yet it met Yang Chen, an unparalleled anomaly. He bypassed all with raw space-time severance, utterly dominant.
"Senior, I see your queries abound, but departing promptly takes precedence," Yang Chen urged.
Yue Xing Zhen Ren grasped the urgency and nodded, ready to flee alongside Yang Chen.
Yet, precisely as departure loomed, a formidable Qi surged forth abruptly, creasing their foreheads in tension.
