The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3110 - 3105: What Role Are You Playing?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Venerable Tianhe moved forward, wearing a respectful smile as he looked toward Supreme Dragon Cloud. He spoke with great courtesy, "Sir Dragon Cloud, what can I do for you?"
With a mask of indifference, Supreme Dragon Cloud replied, "Regarding the Liu Family, they are to be officially declared as an affiliated force of our Yunhua Sect from this moment forward."
"What!" The color drained from Venerable Tianhe’s face as he exclaimed, "How can this be? Did you not state previously that only the He Family would be considered for incorporation at most?"
Venerable Tianhe was naturally riddled with confusion; the Liu Family had been granted the status of an affiliated force without a second thought, despite initial plans only involving the He Family.
A frown creased Supreme Dragon Cloud’s brow. Normally, he wouldn't bother with explanations, but seeing the bewilderment on Venerable Tianhe’s face, he gave a slight shake of his head. "This Elder Yang appears to place significant value on the Liu Family. Do you grasp the weight of my words?"
"But I gave my word to the He Family..." Venerable Tianhe said, his voice filled with reluctance.
Suddenly, a flash of irritation flared within Supreme Dragon Cloud. "You gave your word to the He Family? Tianhe, it seems you won't understand until I am blunt. To put it plainly, what are you? Why does your promise to the He Family even matter? Since when did you have the authority to decide the affairs of Yue City?"
Stung by Supreme Dragon Cloud’s harsh reprimand, Venerable Tianhe felt deeply embarrassed and did not dare to offer a rebuttal.
Supreme Dragon Cloud’s gaze turned icy. "Hmph. This Elder Yang is a Realmless expert. If he considers assisting our Yunhua Sect, the worth of a few affiliated forces is trivial to us. Even if a mere He Family were wiped out tomorrow, the ancestors wouldn't blink. Reflect carefully on your position here. Furthermore, regarding that Liu Feiyan—as I was leaving, I noticed Elder Yang paying special attention to her. Recruit her into the Sect as well. While her Talent might not perfectly align with our standards, that is of little concern now. As long as we can retain Elder Yang, we will do whatever it takes. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, the situation became crystal clear to Venerable Tianhe.
Taking a deep breath, he let out a soft sigh. As he replayed Supreme Dragon Cloud’s words in his mind, he realized his own role in these grand designs was truly negligible.
Usually, the ancestors were like divine dragons, elusive and hidden from the world. Now that they had emerged, if they chose to act, his minor Nirvana Stage Cultivation wouldn't even cause a stir.
He decided it was best to simply follow Supreme Dragon Cloud’s instructions...
...
During this time, Yang Chen followed White Eagle Celestial Venerate deep into the mountain range, an area shrouded in thick mist and clouds.
The moment they entered, Yang Chen scanned the surroundings and couldn't help but remark, "It appears your Sect has invested a great deal of effort into the formation guarding this place."
White Eagle Celestial Venerate’s eyebrows shot up in surprise before he laughed. "Brother Yang Chen truly has a keen eye. This formation is our Sect-protecting array. I am pleased that Brother Yang Chen noticed it."
Yang Chen replied calmly, "I cannot speak for other matters, but this formation is certainly among the top five I have encountered in my life."
Hearing such high praise, White Eagle Celestial Venerate laughed heartily.
Yang Chen wasn't being hyperbolic; every plane possessed unique traits. While he hadn't seen other advantages to this plane yet, the formation before him was truly impressive.
"We have arrived," White Eagle Celestial Venerate said, slowing his pace. He gave a wave of his sleeve and smiled.
Stopping in his tracks, Yang Chen stood with his hands Clasped behind his back.
The pair stood before a tranquil pavilion nestled within a bamboo grove.
As they approached, the pavilion doors swung open, and two Elders emerged like drifting shadows.
Judging by the Qi radiating from these two, they were clearly on the same level as White Eagle Celestial Venerate, both having attained the heights of Realmless Cultivation.
Upon spotting Yang Chen, both Elders offered faint smiles.
"Brother Han, Junior Brother Ma, allow me to introduce the distinguished guest Dragon Cloud mentioned—the one staying with the Liu Family in Yue City. This is Daoist Friend Yang Chen!" White Eagle Celestial Venerate introduced him with a wide gesture.
"So this is Daoist Friend Yang. Your reputation precedes you. Because of certain obligations, we must frequently guard this location and could not greet you at the gates. We hope you can forgive us," the two Elders said in turn.
Yang Chen, having no such expectations, cupped his hands in greeting. However, a flicker of curiosity crossed his face as he wondered why they were bound to this spot.
Still, he knew such matters involved their private affairs, so he refrained from prying.
White Eagle Celestial Venerate laughed and continued the introductions. "Daoist Friend Yang, let me present them. This is my senior, Brother Han, known as Lu Fa Celestial Venerate; his Cultivation surpasses my own. And this is Junior Brother Ma, known as Bai Sheng Celestial Venerate, whose Cultivation is equal to mine."
Yang Chen immediately bowed, politely stating he had long heard of them, maintaining the necessary decorum for such an encounter.
"Haha, let us move past the introductions. Daoist Friend Yang, please be seated. As you are visiting our Sect, you are our honored guest. Junior brother, quickly fetch my precious Spirit Fruits," Lu Fa Celestial Venerate commanded with a wave of his hand.
Bai Sheng Celestial Venerate rose and returned shortly, carrying a variety of vibrantly colored fruits.
Holding the fruits, Bai Sheng Celestial Venerate chuckled. "Daoist Friend Yang Chen, these are a specialty of our Yunhua Sect. Each Spirit Fruit takes tens of thousands of years to form and is highly beneficial, even for cultivators of our level."
Yang Chen looked at the fruits and smiled politely, but he made no move to take them.
The Spirit Fruits they offered were indeed remarkable, having grown for a period longer than his own age of cultivation.
However, age was only one factor; their quality was exceptional. Knowing there is no such thing as a free lunch, he suspected the three members of the Yunhua Sect had an ulterior motive. He felt it was better not to accept such favors just yet.
"Seeing how young you are, Daoist Friend Yang, I imagine your background must be quite extraordinary," Lu Fa Celestial Venerate remarked casually, testing the waters.
Yang Chen realized all three were curious, so he decided not to hide the truth. He spoke openly, "I cannot say much about my origins, but the truth is, I do not belong to this Star Domain Interface."
"What?" As a Boundaryless Heaven Lord, Lu Fa Celestial Venerate possessed knowledge of other planes. He cried out in shock, "Daoist Friend Yang Chen is truly incredible. To be so young and possess only Boundaryless Cultivation, yet you have the courage to traverse the Star Universe?"
"It is a long story, and I would not have chosen such a path unless forced by necessity. I am quite unfamiliar with this plane. Furthermore, having just arrived, there are matters I require assistance with. Of course, I do not expect help for free. If you can assist me with these concerns, I will not hesitate to fulfill any requests you may have that are within my power." Knowing they sought his help, Yang Chen took the initiative to lay out his terms.
