The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3107 - 3102: Returning to the Realmless_1

Venerable Tianhe’s first instinct was to dismiss the sensation as a mere hallucination.

However, the presence was so palpable that denial was impossible. A master of the Great Ascension Stage was undoubtedly concealed within the Liu Family’s estate.

"Senior, may I ask for your honored name? I serve under the command of Supreme Dragon Cloud. While I am unaware of why you are providing secret protection to the Liu Family, I hope you might reveal yourself. Perhaps I have heard your title from Lord Heavenly Venerate," Venerable Tianhe said, bowing toward the empty air. To the onlookers, he appeared like a madman talking to ghosts.

The entire crowd was bewildered by this bizarre display.

He Yesheng, Liu Jinghong, and Liu Feiyan stood frozen, completely stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Liu Jinghong was utterly lost. He heard Venerable Tianhe claim that a Great Ascension Stage expert was guarding their clan, yet he had no knowledge of such a powerhouse existing within their ranks.

Observing the sheer terror etched onto Venerable Tianhe’s face, the spectators could only wonder what kind of existence could strike such fear into a man of his standing.

Venerable Tianhe scanned his surroundings with frantic eyes, terrified that the mysterious Great Ascension Stage figure might strike him down with a bolt of divine lightning.

The expected physical blow never arrived. Instead, a voice like rolling thunder vibrated directly within his mind.

"This seat is currently cultivating here and does not wish for any interruptions. Abandon the matters of the Liu Family this instant. If you value your life, vanish from my sight immediately."

These words nearly scared the soul out of Venerable Tianhe.

Was his master’s reputation truly worthless here?

He dared not utter another word of protest. Seeing that this individual had no regard for his master’s status, he had no choice but to say respectfully, "In that case, this Junior shall take his leave. I will not dare to disturb Senior’s cultivation further."

Cold sweat drenched his back as he turned to bark an order, "He Yesheng, what are you standing there for? Follow me!"

He Yesheng was still drowning in confusion, unable to grasp the situation. "Venerable Tianhe, you... but my son’s grievances haven’t been settled yet!"

"Your son? Fine, stay here and die if you wish. I am no longer involving myself in your affairs!" Venerable Tianhe snapped, turning to flee.

He Yesheng trembled with fright. Abandoned by his protector, he didn't dare remain a second longer. "Venerable Tianhe, please wait! I am coming with you!"

Completely intimidated, he hurried away as fast as his legs could carry him.

Meanwhile, Liu Jinghong and Liu Feiyan struggled to maintain their composure, acting as though they actually held a trump card. However, the moment their enemies vanished, their faces filled with shock.

"Feiyan, do you know anything about this Great Ascension Stage expert? Was this the reason you were so adamant about protecting Yang Chen, that Enlightenment Realm youth?" Liu Jinghong asked, his mind racing.

Liu Feiyan was equally stunned. "Father, I am just as confused as you are. I stood up for Yang Chen purely out of my own principles. I was actually worried you would scold me for being reckless."

"Just who is this mysterious figure that could frighten away Venerable Tianhe?" Liu Jinghong pondered aloud.

He considered the possibilities and told his daughter, "It is a possibility, though it remains a guess. While the odds are slim, you must ensure you stay close to that young man, Yang Chen, regardless of the truth."

Neither of them realized that the one secretly shielding the Liu Family was Yang Chen himself.

Given Yang Chen’s current level, terrifying someone like Venerable Tianhe was a simple task. He had only intervened because Liu Feiyan’s determination to protect him had touched him, making him willing to extend his hand to her family.

Had Liu Feiyan not stood her ground, Yang Chen wouldn't have spared a single thought for the Liu Family’s survival.

As for revealing his identity, he felt it was unnecessary. His cultivation was not yet fully restored, and maintaining a low profile was the wisest course of action.

With these thoughts, Yang Chen remained silent.

This left Liu Jinghong in an awkward position for a moment; since no one appeared, he eventually turned back with a sigh.

"It appears this Senior has no desire to meet us." Doubt still lingered in Liu Jinghong’s eyes. "Who could this mysterious person be?"

"Father, could it be that Yang Chen..." Liu Feiyan knit her brows. "He hid his true capabilities from me before. The way he handled those Enlightenment Realm experts so easily was extraordinary. Could it be him?"

"I doubt it is him personally. Reaching the peak of the Enlightenment Realm at his age is already a miracle. However, there must be a link between him and this incident. A youth with such talent cannot be without a background. Who would believe he has no backer?" Liu Jinghong said, frowning.

Liu Feiyan had a sudden realization. "Father, are you suggesting there is a Great Ascension Stage master backing him?"

"It is highly probable. Even if it’s just a theory, we must treat Yang Chen with the utmost importance."

The two had no idea what Yang Chen was actually thinking. Had he known their theories, he might have found the situation quite humorous.

To Yang Chen, the arrival of Venerable Tianhe was nothing more than a minor distraction.

An Enlightenment Realm cultivator possessing a mere ten thousand Dao Intent was beneath his notice.

His primary focus remained on his own strength.

The Liu Family had served as a useful temporary foothold in this realm.

Residing there allowed him not only to focus on his cultivation but also to move freely as he pleased.

In the following days, Liu Feiyan’s attitude toward him grew significantly warmer. She often took the initiative to seek him out.

Yang Chen understood her motives and took no offense. He felt a debt of gratitude toward her, but his heart remained focused on his path.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Yang Chen covertly gathered various ingredients and successfully refined a batch of pills, allowing him to push his cultivation back to the Boundaryless Stage.

However, he was still far from his previous height.

His true peak should be the very limit of the Boundaryless Stage.

Currently, he was only at the Early Boundaryless Stage, and his control over the laws was not yet fluid.

Yang Chen refused to settle for this. He began hunting groups of demonic beasts within the Cold Frost Ancient Forest.

Unfortunately, the strongest beasts in that forest only reached the Nirvana Stage, which made it difficult for him to truly test his power. Furthermore, there were so few Nirvana Stage beasts that even killing them all wouldn't suffice for his needs.

Yang Chen found himself at a crossroads.

It was clear he needed to expand his horizons. The Liu Family’s resources were insufficient for his total recovery, let alone for his true goals: locating the Slaughter God Spear and finding Murong Qi.
