The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3483 - 3478: Golden Claw Delivers a Message_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
"There’s nothing particularly interesting to report, I simply wished to inform you that Ling Bie Daozu made an attempt on my life beneath Bi Shuangxing. Fortunately, both Princess Wenqi and I managed to thwart his assault. Recognizing the gravity of his transgressions, Ling Bie Daozu has since vanished without a trace. Should you happen upon him, Palace Master Xuanyang, I trust you will not offer him sanctuary." Yang Chen stated with a subtle, enigmatic smile directed at Palace Master Xuanyang.
Palace Master Xuanyang trembled uncontrollably, a cold sweat breaking out as Yang Chen recounted Ling Bie Daozu's actions.
Could it be that Yang Chen, with Princess Wenqi by his side to safeguard him, had foreseen this entire predicament from the very beginning?
"This!" Palace Master Xuanyang exclaimed in shock, quickly shifting his demeanor as he realized the gravity of the situation. He hastily added, "I have repeatedly advised Ling Bie against such scheming, never imagining he would stoop to this. He truly deserves his fate! I was completely unaware of his departure to that location. Brother Yang Chen, please be assured, if I ever encounter him, I shall offer no shelter."
Witnessing Palace Master Xuanyang's convincing performance, Yang Chen offered a knowing smile and replied, "Thank you, Palace Master Xuanyang."
With that, he departed alongside Zhang Xuelian.
Once they were gone, a somber expression gradually settled upon Palace Master Xuanyang's face. He desperately wanted to refute Yang Chen's claims, but Ling Bie Daozu himself was his handpicked subordinate. How could he possibly deny the accusations?
He wasn't a fool; he could sense that Yang Chen seemed to be aware of his complicity with Ling Bie Daozu.
...
Thus, Yang Chen escorted Zhang Xuelian out and they returned to the Divine Night Sect. News of their return spread like wildfire.
It became widely known that Yang Chen was the husband of Zhang Xuelian, the unparalleled prodigy of Grand Abyss Palace, and that their union had occurred some time ago.
The Divine Night Sect rejoiced the most, not only for possessing a gifted disciple like Yang Chen but also for securing the allegiance of the extraordinary Zhang Xuelian.
Zhang Xuelian was indeed a singular talent.
Her mastery of divination, inherited from the Pasara Ancestor, positioned her as one of the preeminent talents in the world, without exaggeration.
Furthermore, Yang Chen had procured a trove of treasures from the subterranean realms of Bi Shuangxing. These world-class artifacts were distributed, bringing immense joy to the powerhouses of the Divine Night Sect. Despite Yang Chen's ostentatious displays, it was impossible not to admire him.
Following the distribution of these world treasures and origin essences, Yang Chen and Zhang Xuelian entered a period of secluded cultivation together.
This period of seclusion spanned thirty years.
Though referred to as seclusion, only Yang Chen understood that it was more akin to a brief, sweet interlude that deepened the bonds of their marriage.
Nevertheless, the passage of thirty years in this manner was truly astonishing to Yang Chen, considering her dual nature – one person by day, another by night.
Yet, on the whole, this lifestyle was far from monotonous.
After three decades, a profound calm settled over the entire Taiyuan Star System.
Yang Chen persistently urged the Divine Night Sect's powerhouses to locate Ling Bie Daozu, especially since Ling Bie Daozu had been ensnared the moment he revealed himself.
The powerhouses of the Divine Night Sect were eager to conduct the search. They had endured the Grand Abyss Palace's bullying for far too long, and Ling Bie Daozu, in particular, had always been arrogant and overbearing. If they didn't teach him a lesson now, he would genuinely believe the Divine Night Sect was easily intimidated.
As for Yang Chen, his sole desire was to make Ling Bie Daozu experience the same fugitive existence he himself had endured in the past.
However, Ling Bie Daozu was no simpleton. He possessed the cunning to remain hidden, eluding any clues to his whereabouts, much to Yang Chen's frustration.
This left Yang Chen and the many formidable cultivators of the Divine Night Sect with no recourse but to wait.
Yet, Yang Chen was not impatient. Witnessing Ling Bie Daozu's current pathetic state brought him a satisfaction far exceeding the simple act of ending his life.
After all, living in constant hiding was an undeniably unpleasant existence.
If circumstances permitted, Yang Chen would gladly prolong this state of secluded cultivation.
However, according to numerous Heavenly Extreme Realm experts within the Divine Night Sect, the creation of laws could only be achieved through persistent study and profound comprehension.
While it was true that an opportune moment could sometimes grant cultivators sudden epiphanies, leading to an instantaneous grasp of a law's true essence, this was contingent upon a foundational accumulation of experience.
Without sufficient prior experience, mere sudden enlightenment would prove insufficient for true understanding.
Consequently, Yang Chen's thirty years of seclusion, beyond accompanying Zhang Xuelian, were dedicated to a renewed, earnest study of his own profound laws.
His comprehension of these laws, he realized, remained insufficient. If he could master these laws completely, he would be able to immediately draw upon their strengths, combine them, and forge an entirely new law. However, after thirty years, as he wished to continue his seclusion, various factions began to stir across the land. A message shattered the tranquility in Yang Chen’s mind, compelling him to emerge from his retreat. Yang Chen arrived at the Palace of the Round Moon, where all the powerhouses of the Heavenly Extreme Realm had convened. "Is there an issue, seniors?" Yang Chen inquired, a hint of confusion in his voice upon his arrival. "It is not a major issue, yet it appears to be connected to you, Yang Chen," stated Princess Wenqi. Yang Chen could not help but ask, "Connected to me? What is the matter?" "There is trouble with the Dragon Clan. The Spirit God Race has initiated a large-scale assault upon them, even dispatching Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses. The Dragon Clan is now facing immense pressure. In truth, the potential destruction of the Dragon Palace does not significantly concern us humans. Nevertheless, through the years, our human race has offered symbolic assistance. But as you are aware of the situation..." Princess Wenqi explained, her voice measured. "The circumstances surrounding Bi Shuangxing’s interior are exceedingly complex. You and I were among the initial group to enter and reaped substantial benefits, yet numerous treasures remain within. At that time, we could not even collect all of them. Now, powerhouses from various clans are actively excavating, and we have also deployed a significant number of our forces from the Divine Night Sect. We genuinely lack the resolve to involve ourselves in the Dragon Clan’s predicament. It is quite astonishing that the Spirit God Race would opt to reduce some of their forces in Bi Shuangxing to forcefully target the Dragon Clan." "Their objective is clearly to enslave the Dragon Clan. Yet, regardless of the Dragon Clan’s might, their strength when reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm differs little. Furthermore, the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan perished some time ago, leaving no Heavenly Extreme Realm expert within their ranks, rendering enslavement rather pointless," the White Eyebrow Ancestor remarked, shaking his head. "We shared the same sentiment and thus did not pay it much heed. However, the individual who sent the transmission from the Dragon Clan, named Golden Claw, seems to know you, which is why we summoned you here," Princess Wenqi said gently.
