The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3447 - 3442: The Meeting Gift before Going Back_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Silver City fully comprehended the entire clash and swiftly declared, "Elders, these are merely Yang Chen’s biased claims. The true events differ greatly from his description. It didn’t happen that way at the time."
The Spirit Communication Ancestor spoke without emotion: "Then explain it to us—what prompted your assault on your fellow clansman back then?"
Silver City paused briefly, unable to come up with a response.
How could he fabricate an excuse in this instant? These mighty figures were all cunning; there was no way they’d be fooled by him so easily?
"What, nothing to say?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor rebuked sharply.
At that point, Silver City could only maintain his stance: "Elders, back then, I truly acted purely for the Human Race’s sake, harboring no other motives."
He refused to believe they’d harm him, a direct disciple of the Grand Abyss Palace Dao Ancestor, simply for his claim of serving the collective.
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor growled deeply, "Still defending yourself? For the Human Race’s benefit, you struck your own comrades!"
Silver City avoided meeting the gazes of these powerhouses, yet he persisted, "My devotion to the human race is unwavering—Heaven and Earth bear witness!"
Yet right then, a Heavenly Fate Realm Expert advanced.
"Elders, I can vouch that Silver City acted rashly that day. I seek to clear Brother Yang Chen’s name." This Heavenly Fate Realm Expert stepped forth and stated calmly.
Silver City was utterly shocked and snapped coldly, "Han Tianqi, what’s your intention?"
This Heavenly Fate Realm expert named Han Tianqi ignored Silver City completely, fixing his eyes directly on the Dao Ancestor Experts.
The Dao Ancestor Experts, naturally intrigued, responded, "Han Tianqi, you joined Silver City that day as part of our Human Race’s vanguard squad. Tell us precisely what occurred."
Han Tianqi replied icily, "The instant Silver City seized the Primordial Treasure from Yang Chen, he aimed to exploit the chance. I didn’t think much of it then—after all, everyone coveted the Primordial Treasure. But once Yang Chen claimed it and exited Jianhen Palace, he was effectively safe. Chasing him at that juncture was truly improper. The Primordial Treasure belonged to our Human Race by then; pursuing it held no value."
"What came after?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor inquired.
Silver City’s heart plunged into despair.
"Then Silver City urged a pursuit, pressing us insistently to seize the Primordial Treasure. We failed to grasp his motives initially, believing he simply wanted to secure the treasure better, so we followed along. Who could’ve foreseen Silver City’s wicked plot to frame Brother Yang Chen? That day, Brother Yang Chen risked his life to secure the Primordial Treasure for our clan—I witnessed every moment clearly."
Han Tianqi, seething with righteous fury, declared: "I regret not seeing through Silver City’s scheme sooner. I assumed he was merely sparring with a fellow clansman to teach a lesson. Who imagined that he, a Heavenly Destiny Realm elder, with others in tow, would target the wounded junior Yang Chen—whose power was far below his peak—with clear intent to kill?"
Those words landed, and Silver City collapsed in terror onto his backside.
He couldn’t fathom why Han Tianqi betrayed him now.
Yang Chen, however, knew the reason.
Silver City had presumed too much. That day, he forced those powerhouses into a tough spot by targeting Yang Chen, offering them no rewards. Expecting their silence thereafter?
Initially, those powerhouses covered for him to avoid offending Silver City.
But now, one side featured Silver City at early Heavenly Destiny Realm, while the other had Yang Chen at middle Heavenly Destiny Realm, his cultivation advancing swiftly.
The Heavenly Destiny Realm experts who observed the events that day weren’t fools—how could they fail to choose the winning side?
They were there after all; if not seizing this moment to befriend Yang Chen, when else would the chance come?
"Silver City, what more can you say?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor roared with fury, "You lunged straight for the lethal strike without a moment's pause. Don't claim it was all for the clan's benefit. Would you truly try to slay a mighty figure from our own race without a shred of proof, just for the clan? Especially a young cultivator who staked his life for the Primordial Treasure!"
Silver City's whole body quivered, overwhelmed by Ye Shan Dao Ancestor's terrifying aura, rendering him utterly speechless.
"Th-this... Elders, th-this... this guy is framing me, you can't take his words as truth." Silver City stuttered out.
"Elders, I too can vouch for Silver City's misdeeds." Right then, yet another Heavenly Fate Realm expert advanced.
"Count me in as well."
Everyone who had witnessed the events that day was promptly summoned into the hall.
With Han Tianqi leading the way, the rest quickly followed suit, rising one by one to support Yang Chen's account.
Without a word, Yang Chen had already earned the allegiance of all through his sheer power.
Hearing these words, Silver City's complexion drained to deadly white, realizing his defenses were futile and no escape remained.
"Impressive scheming, Silver City." The Spirit Communication Ancestor seethed with rage upon hearing it all, barely containing his urge to unleash a devastating strike. "Silver City, your intent alone to murder one of our own is an unpardonable sin, not to mention carrying it out. Fellow Daoists, I suggest we punish him swiftly per Earth Spirit Hall's regulations. Surely no one objects."
"None from me." Ye Shan Dao Ancestor declared.
The remaining Dao Ancestors echoed agreement without delay, harboring zero pity for Silver City's blatant crimes.
Silver City's features now turned deathly gray as he pinned his final shred of hope on True Destiny Ancestor.
Noticing Silver City's pleading gaze, True Destiny Ancestor flicked his sleeves dismissively, abandoning any thought of aid.
He stated flatly, "He deserves death."
Despair fully gripped Silver City's heart, convinced that no divine force could rescue him now.
With no path left, he bellowed desperately, "I... I serve under Spirit Separation Ancestor—you dare not execute me. My master is Ling Bie Dao Ancestor!"
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor swept his sleeves, unleashing a surge of worldly force that crushed Silver City down.
Silver City's frame shook violently, immobilized and silenced completely.
On normal occasions, these Earth Spirit Hall Dao Ancestors might respect Ling Bie Dao Ancestor's position, but with him distant and unable to intervene here, why fear?
Moreover, in terms of achievements, every Earth Spirit Hall Dao Ancestor outranked Ling Bie Dao Ancestor; he held no authority over them.
Invoking Ling Bie Dao Ancestor's name only hastened Silver City's doom.
"Drag him off." Ye Shan Dao Ancestor commanded.
Several powerhouses hauled Silver City away.
Yang Chen felt no pity for Silver City's end—it was entirely self-inflicted.
Furthermore, it served as a pointed warning to Ling Bie Dao Ancestor ahead of his return to the Taiyuan Star System.
