The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3434 - 3429: Yang Chen in the Netherworld?_1

It's often said that no wall in this world lacks cracks.

Silver City had intended to bury the incident of shoving Yang Chen into the Spatial Divine River and seal it away, yet he never anticipated the Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses treating it with such gravity by starting a probe.

Once these Heavenly Extreme Realm experts commanded an inquiry, Silver City found it impossible to conceal the truth anymore. After all, the Heavenly Fate Realm experts who aided him that day weren't utterly devoted to him, so they wouldn't hold back many secrets just for him, right?

Thus, Silver City got summoned straight by the trio of Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses posted in this area.

All three of these Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses stood as renowned figures in the human realm, capable of shifting battles with a mere gesture.

Among them, one shared a profound link with Yang Chen. It was none other than Ye Shan Dao Ancestor, the one Yang Chen encountered during his trip into the Jingling Secret Realm.

Upon Silver City's entrance, Ye Shan Dao Ancestor's tone deepened: "Silver City, I've heard you pushed Yang Chen into the Spatial Divine River—is that accurate?"

Silver City's frame trembled as he faced the three Daoist Ancestors fixing their gazes on him, terror surging in his chest.

Back then, he'd figured that Yang Chen, just a Heaven-separated Realm cultivator, meant nothing if he perished. Plenty of Heaven-separated Realm folks had fallen in the Forbidden Spirit Palace regardless, making it no big deal.

To Silver City, Yang Chen's demise shouldn't stir any waves.

Yet now, these three Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses appeared set on avenging Yang Chen, filling Silver City with deep alarm.

In his alarm, Silver City blurted out quickly, "Esteemed Daoist Ancestors, there's a detail you might not grasp. When this junior shoved Yang Chen into the Spatial Divine River, it stemmed from a dire bind. Back then, Yang Chen allied with the Insect Race, and we're unsure if the Primordial Treasure landed in their grasp or vanished elsewhere. Talented as Yang Chen may be, he opted to side with outsiders. In rage, this junior acted for the heavens and struck him down."

With each word from Silver City, he grew firmer in believing Yang Chen earned his end.

Still, these Daoist Ancestor powerhouses, having endured vast spans of time, wouldn't fall for Silver City's shallow excuses, would they?

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor narrowed his gaze toward the other two Daoist Ancestors: "What are your views on this?"

A stern-faced elder sporting a white beard declared, "Absurd. Simply because Yang Chen linked with the Insect Race, you assumed he turned against his Sect and master? Where's your solid proof?"

"That moment, this junior demanded he hand over two untouched World Treasures for inspection, but the brat wouldn't comply. Clearly, he'd passed the World Treasures to the Insect Race." Silver City responded in haste.

"Idiot!" The white-bearded elder, quick to flare, snapped. "If Yang Chen worked with the Insect Race, would they aid him without gain? Some deal must've occurred. With Yang Chen securing two World Treasures and Insect Race backing, it's logical he'd yield one Primordial Treasure to them. He couldn't just surrender it at your word."

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor nodded along: "Yang Chen had cause to withhold the treasure from you. Whether he held one or multiple Primordial Treasures, even a single one would've hugely aided our human race. Yet your deed has sent it tumbling into the Spatial Divine River!"

At these words, true dread gripped Silver City.

By now, he realized dodging even mild chastisement would prove tough.

"Esteemed Daoist Ancestors, it wasn't deliberate. Then, I only aimed to aid my Sect and overlooked the bigger picture." Silver City pleaded.

"Overlooked it? Have those millions of years been wasted on you?" The hot-tempered white-bearded elder couldn't restrain his outburst.

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor fixed a icy stare on Silver City: "With Yang Chen's fate unknown, Silver City, brace yourself for the penalty ahead."

Mention of penalty made Silver City quake, prompting him to seek aid from the third Daoist Ancestor.

This one represented his true hope.

The third Daoist Ancestor, dressed in Grand Abyss Palace robes, gazed at Silver City with resignation and spoke, "Brother Ye Shan, Brother Spirit Communication, punishing Silver City now serves little. Misunderstandings likely arose between him and Yang Chen that day. We can't penalize him solely over a Primordial Treasure. Further probing is needed. Punishment remains due, but keep it mild, not harsh. Our human race craves more fighters presently."

Watching the Daoist Robe Ancestor advocate for him, Ye Shan Dao Ancestor and Spirit Communication Dao Ancestor both creased their brows faintly.

As Grand Abyss Palace's Daoist Ancestor, he naturally backed his sect's folk. They had no grounds to refute.

A single Daoist Ancestor's intercession rendered harsh measures tricky without slighting ties.

Right then, a voice rang out.

"Esteemed Daoist Ancestor seniors."

"What is it?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor queried, startled.

"News on Yang Chen has surfaced." A Heavenly Destiny Expert stepped up to inform.

"Fresh word on Yang Chen? Ha, excellent. So, Yang Chen lives and thrives?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor pressed.

Silver City's form went rigid in shock too. More tidings on Yang Chen? How?

The Heavenly Destiny Expert hastened to clarify, "What I'm relaying may strike the three Daoist Ancestors as outlandish, since even we deem it bizarre. Intelligence arrived from a Netherworld spy. Initially, these agents lingered only at the Netherworld Darkcurrent Universe's fringes to thwart foul schemes amid this pivotal phase. Yet they uncovered the Outer Darkflow Universe plunged into total turmoil."

"Turmoil? What occurred?" Spirit Communication Dao Ancestor inquired, intrigued.

"The spy lacks full details. We only know the Outer Darkflow Universe stands fully freed. Netherworld powerhouses have turned against the Netherworld, and captive major Sects gained liberty. The liberator? None other than Yang Chen. Still, this Yang Chen slips away unseen, leaving us uncertain if he's our race's Yang Chen." The Heavenly Destiny Expert reported.

The three Daoist Ancestor powerhouses all reeled in astonishment.

"The Outer Darkflow Universe reached such a state?"

"Which Yang Chen could this be?"

"Esteemed Daoist Ancestors, this reeks of Netherworld trickery. Yang Chen's surely gone now; no chance he'd show in the Netherworld." Silver City cried out desperately, desperate to keep Yang Chen buried.

Should Yang Chen revive, absolving his guilt would turn impossible.

"Silence." Ye Shan Dao Ancestor rebuked sharply and reasoned, "Though leaping into the Spatial Divine River spells doom usually, Yang Chen wields Space-Time Law. For him, entering the Spatial Divine River needn't mean death. Escaping it might even land him in the Netherworld!"
