The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3109 - 3104: Who are the Powerful Ones?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
The arrival of such formidable entities struck terror into the hearts of the Liu family, nearly frightening them to death.
Having never witnessed such a magnificent assembly of power, Liu Jinghong was gripped by fear. He immediately gathered the Liu family Elders to greet the visitors, terrified that the Yunhua Sect might punish them for any perceived lack of etiquette.
Upon stepping outside, Liu Jinghong’s pupils contracted violently as he surveyed the elite forces the Yunhua Sect had mobilized. A cold shiver ran through his entire body, leaving him shaken to his soul.
The Yunhua Sect had dispatched several experts of the Great Ascension Stage for this occasion.
Furthermore...
The most staggering realization was that the leader of this delegation, currently visiting the Liu family, was a figure usually found only in myths.
He possessed the eyes of an eagle and snowy white eyebrows. Standing six feet tall with a robust, powerful frame, his presence was overwhelming.
The White Eagle Celestial Venerate!
He was the Unbounded Ancestor who stood behind the Yunhua Sect, one of the few such legendary figures within the organization. As the pinnacle of power in Tali Country, a single word from him could determine the life or death of anyone in the nation.
A being of his stature was nothing short of a legend. To Liu Jinghong and Liu Feiyan, the White Eagle Celestial Venerate was a mythical figure come to life.
Finding themselves in his presence, both were paralyzed by a sudden, rigid tension.
It took several moments for Liu Jinghong to regain his composure. Trembling, he led his followers in a deep bow, shouting, "This junior offers his humble respects to the exalted White Eagle Celestial Venerate!"
The White Eagle Celestial Venerate radiated a subtle, almost imperceptible Unbounded Qi. He scanned the surroundings, completely overlooking Liu Jinghong and Liu Feiyan.
Instead, he extended his soul sense, searching for Yang Chen's location. However, despite his spiritual energy sweeping the area, he could not detect a single hint of Yang Chen’s presence. This caused his eyes to narrow as a wave of secret shock washed over him.
Though he couldn't pinpoint Yang Chen, he could sense a profound power looming nearby. This was a deliberate signal from Yang Chen, proving that his Divine Soul Realm surpassed that of the Ancestor.
"I am not here for you today. I, White Eagle Celestial Venerate, represent the Yunhua Sect in requesting this Daoist friend to reveal himself. Our Yunhua Sect is renowned for its hospitality, and we would be remiss if we failed to properly welcome an elite expert of your caliber during your stay," he announced.
While speaking, the White Eagle Celestial Venerate respectfully cupped his fists. He treated Yang Chen as a peer, granting him immense face with this display of courtesy.
Following his lead, the other Great Ascension Stage Heavenly Venerates behind him understood the signal. They bowed quickly toward the empty air, adopting the posture of juniors to show their reverence.
This sight left Liu Jinghong and Liu Feiyan in a state of bewilderment. They were consumed by curiosity regarding this mysterious Unbounded Expert—who was he, and what was his connection to them?
Why had such a person chosen to protect the Liu family in the first place?
Internally, Yang Chen sighed and shook his head.
He had intended to visit the Yunhua Sect eventually, but he had been concerned that revealing his true identity might terrify the Liu family members.
However, there was no more room for hesitation. Since White Eagle Celestial Venerate had shown him such great respect, it would be a snub to remain hidden.
With that thought, Yang Chen stood up slowly and spoke in a calm voice, "Since the White Eagle Celestial Venerate has extended such a warm invitation, it would be rude to decline. Very well, I shall visit the Yunhua Sect for a brief stay."
Supreme Dragon Cloud was taken aback upon hearing this. The voice was different from the one he had heard the previous time.
Simultaneously, Liu Jinghong and Liu Feiyan were struck dumb with realization.
The voice belonged to Yang Chen...
This time, Yang Chen made no effort to hide. While he had altered his voice during their last encounter, he now spoke in his natural tone.
As his words echoed, he emerged from the room. Walking with measured, deliberate steps, he appeared before the gathered crowd.
The moment his figure became visible, the Liu family members standing nearby were the most stunned. Their mouths hung open in disbelief.
It was impossible for them to comprehend that the Yang Chen they had hosted as a guest was even more formidable than they had dreamed. To their shock, he was the mysterious Unbounded Expert.
Unbounded!
Yang Chen was indeed radiating a Qi that matched the Unbounded level; such a thing could not be faked.
Yet, the reality was so jarring that it was hard to process.
Even White Eagle Celestial Venerate frowned, inhaling sharply. How could Yang Chen be so incredibly young?
An Unbounded Expert was rare enough in Tali Country, but one of such a youthful age was unheard of.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, White Eagle Celestial Venerate quickly cupped his hands. "I did not realize Daoist Friend Yang was so youthful; it makes an old man like me feel quite inadequate."
"Cultivation cannot be measured by years alone. Daoist Friend White Eagle, you are being far too humble," Yang Chen replied with an indifferent air.
"Hahaha! I appreciate your perspective, Daoist Friend Yang. I feel as though we are kindred spirits. Why don't we head back to my Yunhua Sect? We shall have ample time to converse there," White Eagle Celestial Venerate said, stroking his beard with a laugh.
Yang Chen gave a faint smile. "If that is your wish, please, lead the way."
White Eagle Celestial Venerate gestured politely, inviting Yang Chen to proceed.
Yang Chen’s eyes briefly flickered toward Liu Feiyan and Liu Jinghong.
He met their gazes, which were filled with absolute shock.
Witnessing Yang Chen’s calm demeanor, Liu Feiyan felt her composure crumble. When they first met, she viewed herself as the prestigious daughter of a Heavenly Emperor and had saved him out of pity, never dreaming they were equals.
By their second meeting, Yang Chen had reached the Enlightenment Stage. Even then, she felt her status as a Liu family member kept them on the same level. It was only after the 'mysterious expert' intervened that she began to suspect his true depth, feeling a growing sense of awe.
Only now did the crushing truth hit her: she and Yang Chen existed in entirely different worlds.
At such a young age, this man had ascended to the Unbounded stage, a height she could never hope to reach.
Yang Chen remained composed. After a final glance at Liu Feiyan, he turned and departed with a casual flick of his sleeve.
As he was leaving, he remarked, "The Liu family has treated me with great hospitality during my stay. They are truly kind people."
Hearing these pointed words, White Eagle Celestial Venerate understood the underlying message. Yang Chen was requesting a favor for the Liu family, using his influence to elevate them. Though the comment was subtle, the Ancestor immediately took note of it.
The group vanished in an instant, departing Yue City. Within moments, they materialized atop a mountain peak shrouded in mist.
Looking down, it was clear that this was the heart of the Yunhua Sect.
As the party arrived, numerous disciples took to the sky, bowing low to greet their leaders.
"We welcome the Ancestor's return!"
White Eagle Celestial Venerate gave quiet instructions to those below.
He accompanied Yang Chen up the mountain path. Meanwhile, Supreme Dragon Cloud stepped back respectfully, waiting at the summit. Shortly after, several attendants arrived, including Venerable Tianhe—the very man who held the power of life and death over the Liu and He families.
