The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3374 - 3369: Meeting Qing Wan Again_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
For a brief instant, Xingtong failed to catch Yang Chen's intent and questioned in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Yang Chen offered a laid-back grin: "Precisely as you take it, the direct sense."
Xingtong shot Yang Chen a meaningful stare and inquired, "Why would those Heavenly-separated Realm Royal Spirit Gods fear you?"
"You'll find out after drawing them over," Yang Chen kept his explanation brief, merely grinning as he shifted the topic.
Xingtong grew increasingly intrigued by Yang Chen, sensing that regardless of their time together, an enigmatic veil always cloaked him. An enigma she could never pierce.
Given the circumstances, pressing further wasn't feasible, so she simply replied, "Fine, I'll go draw them out. But upfront, I lack your spacetime velocity. Should danger strike me soon, you'll need to rush in and rescue me."
"Relax, your death brings me no gain, does it?" Yang Chen responded with a touch of exasperation.
Xingtong at last felt reassured, "Then it's agreed. Still, right now, locating the Royal Spirit Gods comes first."
"No requirement to hunt for the Royal Spirit Gods on purpose," Yang Chen stated.
"Why not?" Xingtong wondered.
Yang Chen patiently clarified, "Should we actively seek them, we could end up fruitless forever, given their scarcity. Spotting the Royal Spirit Gods amid this immense expanse is like hunting a needle in a sea."
"So, what's your plan?" Xingtong probed, intrigued. She had pondered the issue on her own, yet if not this approach, what alternative for locating them?
"Simply locate regular Spirit God Race folks, then apply Soul Search. I figure these Spirit God race individuals ought to hold knowledge of the Royal Spirit Gods' positions," Yang Chen detailed.
Xingtong pulled a grimace: "Easier spoken than achieved. Ordinary Spirit God Clan folks are haughty, true, but not on par with Royal Spirit Gods. They usually move in packs. One ordinary Spirit God Clan member we can manage, yet over a dozen united might match scores of standard Heavenly-separated Realms in battle might. How do we tackle that?"
Her sharp mind had already considered this, dismissing it initially.
Yang Chen let out a light laugh, "Don't worry on that score, I grasp the boundaries!"
Xingtong eyed Yang Chen this way yet held her tongue. At times, she quietly anticipated partnering with him.
For he frequently pulled off wild feats.
Thus, the pair scoured the woods anew, uncovering no Origin Essences, before departing straightaway, aiming to gather intel on the Spirit God Race's positions.
Exiting the woods, a sprawling mountain chain stretched before them. Beneath these unending peaks, Yang Chen's soul power couldn't fully span the region.
Yet, as he extended his soul, Yang Chen spotted a band of cultivators within its reach.
And these cultivators turned out to be humans.
This marked Yang Chen's initial encounter with human cultivators inside the Forbidden Spirit Palace.
"Let's head over and check," Yang Chen suggested.
Xingtong trailed after Yang Chen, the duo dashing toward the group.
Upon reaching them, Yang Chen felt a mild shock, as the heads of these human cultivators proved unforeseen.
"Fairy Qing Wan..." Yang Chen whispered under his breath.
"What, you recognize them?" Xingtong queried, astonished.
Yang Chen affirmed with a nod, "I suppose friends is the term."
Xingtong gazed at Fairy Qing Wan's stunning looks and chuckled, "Fancy dropping by to meet them?"
"Unnecessary," Yang Chen promptly denied with a head shake. "No point. Let's stick to our mission."
He had assured Fairy Qing Wan of his absence from the Forbidden Spirit Palace, making his presence now odd.
Fairy Qing Wan, alongside Fairy Yun Xiu and their fellow seniors and juniors, assembled a squad of twenty-seven Heavenly-separated Realm experts, a formidable assembly.
Over two dozen Heavenly-separated Realms advanced warily amid the peaks.
"I got truly frightened earlier. Our fortune proved dismal, running into Spirit God Race so early upon stepping into the Forbidden Spirit Palace!" Fairy Yun Xiu burst out.
Fairy Qing Wan cautioned gravely, "All of you, stay vigilant. Though no clash occurred with those Spirit God Race individuals moments ago, they might circle back. Carelessness is forbidden."
"Senior Sister, are these Spirit God Race folks truly so fearsome? Merely seven in number. With our over twenty Heavenly-separated Realms, do we fear them?" One cultivator queried.
Fairy Qing Wan replied icily, "You belittle the Spirit God Race. Even with just seven, victory remains uncertain in true combat!"
"Is the Spirit God Race genuinely so formidable?" Several worldly-naive junior brothers marveled aloud.
Fairy Qing Wan drew a steadying breath, "Your knowledge of the Spirit God Race is scant. Their true terror lies in the unpredictable. At this juncture, if they avoid battle with us, we mustn't stir them. The priority is linking with the Knife Edge Brothers. Their prowess would grant me assurance facing the King of the Netherworld."
"Indeed, hasten to unite with the Knife Edge Brothers," the nearby seniors and juniors echoed.
Thereupon, the party hastened onward, soon vanishing from Yang Chen's perception.
Yang Chen eavesdropped on their talk, gaining insight into Fairy Qing Wan's present state.
Evidently, following his involvement, Fairy Qing Wan had rallied additional allies to confront the King of the Netherworld. The Knife Edge Brothers represented her latest reinforcements.
Yet, this concerned him not.
Yang Chen's attention snagged on Fairy Qing Wan's prior mention of the seven Spirit God Race individuals...
"Spirit God Race members are close by," Xingtong uttered, jaw dropping in shock.
Yang Chen declared, "My soul faces obstruction, limiting detection to a narrow scope. Yet from Fairy Qing Wan's words, the Spirit God Race lingers nearby without straying far. We'll divide and scour. Upon discovery, we'll reconnect!"
"Sure thing!" Xingtong moved swiftly, parting ways right after their accord.
Searching apart boosted their productivity greatly. Aware of nearby Spirit God Race presence, they swept surrounding zones in mere moments.
Owing to this swiftness, Xingtong promptly transmitted a message.
"Yang Chen, get over here!"
Yang Chen registered mild astonishment, unprepared for Xingtong's rapid success. Instantly, he materialized next to her.
Xingtong indicated a cavern and stated, "Yang Chen, check this out!"
