The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3414 - 3409: The Siege of Silver City_1

Yet, even though the other Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses refused to humiliate themselves, Silver City showed no such restraint.

After being called out by Yang Chen in that manner, Silver City erupted in fury, left utterly speechless.

Still, Yang Chen had clearly misjudged just how brazen Silver City could be.

Clenching his teeth, Silver City paused briefly before declaring, "Yang Chen, handing over this Primordial Treasure to our clan is only natural. But you're clearly working with the Insect Race. Are you planning to hand this Primordial Treasure over to them?"

Hearing Silver City’s accusation, Yang Chen's eyes narrowed as he responded gravely, "It's perfectly common for rival clans to form alliances when vying for Primordial Treasures, provided they secure them. Silver City, you're hurling baseless slander. When I get back, I'll inform the Earth Spirit Hall elders about this."

Silver City trembled upon hearing Yang Chen invoke the Earth Spirit Hall powerhouse, a storm of rage and dread churning within him.

The clan rules explicitly forbade inter-clan conflicts once inside the Forbidden Spirit Palace.

Violating such a regulation meant harsh penalties for Heavenly Fate Realm experts like him.

However, abandoning his scheme now proved far too difficult.

Maintaining a stoic expression, Silver City remarked, "Yang Chen, are you acting guilty? I strongly suspect you're aiding the Insect Race in acquiring the Primordial Treasure. I can't accept that the Insect Race helped you so generously, even risking their lives to aid your escape. There's no way I believe no underhanded deal exists between you."

"Do I have to report my alliance with the Insect Race to you?" Yang Chen's anger intensified.

Silver City sneered coldly, "No need to report to me. I simply demand to see those two Primordial Treasures. If you, Yang Chen, can produce both right here, I'll accept that your pact with the Insect Race served the Human Race's interests."

His true aim was to snatch the two Primordial Treasures the moment Yang Chen revealed them.

He felt utterly confident.

Once he claimed them, Yang Chen would be powerless against him. He could claim he was offering the Primordial Treasures to the clan, leaving Yang Chen unable to cause waves. By then, with the clan's powerhouses possessing the items, no one would bother vindicating Yang Chen—a flawless scheme.

Yet he remained unaware that Yang Chen's predicament stemmed not from reluctance to display the Primordial Treasures, but from having already handed one to Wan Huaruo.

Only one remained in his possession.

Should he produce just a single Primordial Treasure, he'd plunge straight into Silver City's trap, facing charges of colluding with the Insect Race and a slew of fabricated offenses.

Noticing Yang Chen's hesitation, Silver City paused briefly before erupting in mocking laughter, "Yang Chen, it looks like my suspicions were spot on."

The surrounding experts started doubting Yang Chen as well.

Yang Chen's reluctance to unveil the Primordial Treasures fueled their suspicions. Had he truly surrendered them all to the Insect Race, as Silver City claimed, with all his efforts benefiting them?

Initially, they hadn't dwelled on it, but Yang Chen's current behavior made the matter seem truly fishy.

Seizing the moment, Silver City raised a huge commotion, "Yang Chen, explain yourself!"

Under Silver City's aggressive interrogation, Yang Chen replied sternly, "Silver City, what if I refuse to show you the Primordial Treasures?"

"Refusing to show them only confirms your guilt, Yang Chen. If you won't reveal them, I'll search for them myself and uncover your secret ties with the Insect Race," Silver City berated.

As soon as the words fell, Silver City lunged toward Yang Chen with an outstretched hand.

Anger blazed across Yang Chen's face; he had no desire to justify himself to Silver City anymore.

Yang Chen had always stood tall with honor and integrity. Why bother defending himself to such a scoundrel?

His heart turned icy cold.

Not merely toward Silver City, but also these fellow Heavenly Fate Realm experts nearby.

When he claimed the Primordial Treasures, selfish possession never crossed his mind. If surrendering them benefited the clan more, he would have done so. He never anticipated encountering someone as despicable as Silver City.

With things as they were, he no longer gave a damn. As Silver City reached for his arm, Yang Chen unleashed the Law of Life and Death, slamming out a palm that boomed thunderously and repelled Silver City's grasp.

Now, Silver City cackled triumphantly. He'd fretted over lacking pretext to strike at Yang Chen, but with Yang Chen striking back, he no longer feared failing to slay him this day.

"Yang Chen, you dare perpetrate this heinous act by assaulting a senior like me! Clearly, you humans disregard our Human Race entirely. Thus, I, Silver City, shall purge this filth here and now. He Sheng Daoist, assist me!" Silver City bellowed.

Yet another Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouse swiftly advanced, aligning beside Silver City.

This unexpected turn stunned Yang Chen. He'd assumed facing only Silver City, unaware of this additional Heavenly Fate Realm foe joining the fray.

It was evident Silver City had plotted against him, realizing one Heavenly Fate Realm might fall short, so he'd recruited an ally to overwhelm Yang Chen.

Realizing the peril, Yang Chen understood the gravity. Of the six Heavenly Fate Realm experts present, an unknown number might join in, none of whom he could easily overcome. Flight from here offered his sole viable path.

He promptly readied his Spacetime magic for departure.

Upon returning, he'd find means to dispel Silver City's false accusations.

But the instant he attempted to merge into Spacetime, an invisible barrier blocked him, yanking him back with some potent, unseen force.

Silver City roared with laughter, "Yang Chen, still trying to flee? Where to, traitor? I'll end you myself!"

With those words, a radiant jade seal mysteriously materialized in Silver City's grasp.

The seal resembled a fierce lion, its precise powers unclear while held by him. Yet it was simple to infer this artifact blocked Yang Chen's spatial escape.

"This is..." Yang Chen's pupils contracted sharply, "An Emperor Divine Tool? No, it can't be, as no such tool possesses this mystical power."

"Hmph, Yang Chen, perishing beneath this Ancestral Divine Artifact is a great honor for you," Silver City jeered, "Inherited from my ancestral Daoist lineage, this Ancestral Divine Artifact exists solely to eradicate clan traitors like you!"

Hurling blame cost nothing, so Silver City piled charges onto Yang Chen relentlessly.

Observing the unfolding drama, the remaining four Heavenly Fate Realm experts wavered, unsure if they should step in.

In the meantime, Silver City gripped the Ancestral Divine Artifact, intent on obliterating Yang Chen right there.
