The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3136 - 3131: Inspecting the Order_1

Observing the flicker of uncertainty across Yang Chen’s face, Princess Wenqi found her interest in the young man deepening.

"Yang Chen, you appear to be experiencing some confusion?" Princess Wenqi remarked.

Yang Chen made no effort to mask his state of mind and nodded. "Junior truly finds himself somewhat perplexed."

A look of bewilderment crossed Princess Wenqi’s features. "Are you aware of your standing upon the Great Luo Celestial Stele?"

"Junior has been told that I am ranked among the very top of the Great Luo Celestial Stele, but I remain ignorant of the specific details," Yang Chen replied, shaking his head.

Upon hearing his response, Princess Wenqi realized the situation was exactly as she suspected.

She let out a laugh as clear as a silver bell. "Then there is no mistake; Yang Chen, it is certainly you. I did not anticipate crossing paths with you in this place. It is only natural that you are unaware of your precise position on the Great Luo Celestial Stele; aside from the three Great Factions of the Taiyuan Star System that monitor it, only a handful of other powers possess the ability to provide updates. Let this palace inform you: your rank on the Great Luo Celestial Stele has climbed to third. This signifies that your Dao Intent Inscriptions are among the top three within the Ten Thousand Realms, the human world, the Netherworld, and various other races."

Yang Chen did not place much importance on such rankings and replied softly, "I thank the senior for sharing this information."

Princess Wenqi gave her sleeve a gentle wave. "Do not be so quick to thank me, Yang Chen. To speak candidly, when Shuang’er requested that I meet you, I had no intention of agreeing because I saw no purpose in it. However, I now retract that thought. Truthfully, from the moment of your birth and your rise to prominence on the Great Luo Celestial Stele, our Divine Night Sect had already taken notice of you."

Yang Chen was momentarily stunned. "Senior is so well-acquainted with my history?"

"Indeed, we old cultivators know a fair amount about you," Princess Wenqi said, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Yang Chen exhaled deeply, never imagining that he had been the target of so many formidable seniors even back when he was in the Lingnan Two Realms.

"The moment you attained the third rank on the Great Luo Celestial Stele, our Divine Night Sect intended to dispatch someone to retrieve you. Regrettably, Grand Abyss Palace beat us by a single step, and our Divine Night Sect was forced to concede. Yet, it appears you never actually joined Grand Abyss Palace, and fate has led you to the Divine Night Sect now. Why not simply join us? You can be certain that by joining the Divine Night Sect, you shall receive everything that Shuang’er possesses."

Princess Wenqi locked her gaze onto Yang Chen’s eyes. "Even the things Shuang’er lacks, you shall have. Furthermore, regarding the assistance you requested earlier, I can agree to it unconditionally. I will even mobilize the resources of the entire Divine Night Sect to aid you. What do you say?"

Yang Chen was caught off guard by how the gentle Princess Wenqi had suddenly turned as decisive as Ji Yue Shuang, pressing him with an invitation to join the Sect.

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Noticing Yang Chen’s hesitation, a trace of annoyance flickered between Princess Wenqi’s brows, though she soon shook her head and spoke softly. "Yang Chen, you still possess the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo, do you not? However, I suspect you find yourself completely unable to activate it, correct?"

Yang Chen was visibly startled. "How does senior know that junior possesses the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo?"

"There are no walls in this world capable of keeping secrets forever. The things you have said have naturally reached our ears," Princess Wenqi smiled.

Yang Chen couldn't help but remember that he had only revealed this to a select few within the Grand Abyss Palace and the Dragon Clan of the Dragon Palace.

It was unlikely to have come from the Dragon Palace, meaning those few individuals from the Grand Abyss Palace had managed to transmit the news to Princess Wenqi. The thought was chilling.

Sensing her bait needed more weight, Princess Wenqi added, "Rest assured, when it comes to the study of the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo, our Divine Night Sect’s knowledge far exceeds that of the Grand Abyss Palace or Heavenly Melody Mountain. You may verify this with anyone. If you wish to unlock the deeper layers of the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo, the Divine Night Sect is undoubtedly your superior choice."

Yang Chen’s brow furrowed at her words. After a long pause, he gave a bitter smile. "Senior Wenqi, it is not that junior is unwilling to agree, but there are certain reasons why I must decline."

"What do you mean by that?" The gentle aura around Princess Wenqi suddenly sharpened.

Yang Chen explained his circumstances without leaving anything out. "Senior Wenqi, I am already a married man, and my wife is currently waiting for me at the Grand Abyss Palace. Once I have resolved the issue of my loss, I must travel to the Grand Abyss Palace to be reunited with her. Because of this, I must refuse your offer."

"So, your intention is to join the Grand Abyss Palace instead." Princess Wenqi’s eyebrows knitted together.

"I hope senior can find it in her heart to understand," Yang Chen said with great solemnity.

Princess Wenqi felt a surge of irritation. She thought of how young Yang Chen was and wondered why he had wed so early. She had intended to pair her disciple with him, believing they were a match made in heaven since both ranked within the top ten and top three of the Great Luo Celestial Stele. Where else could such a perfect union be found?

Learning that Yang Chen was already married made her feel quite disgruntled, despite her usually calm temperament.

As these frustrations swirled, Princess Wenqi began to grow angry.

However, she quickly pivoted her strategy. "Yang Chen, if you choose not to join the Divine Night Sect, the assistance you seek will no longer be free; it will come with conditions."

"Please, tell me your terms, senior." Yang Chen had anticipated this turn of events.

Specific conditions were actually preferable; receiving unconditional help would have left him feeling even more indebted and uneasy.

"Good, you are very decisive. In that case, this palace shall offer you several paths. If you desire my aid, you must naturally perform tasks for the Divine Night Sect. Anything else would be a waste of your Cultivation and talent, but there is one duty that is not. It has been the core mission of the Divine Night Sect for the past three eras."

"To what exactly is senior referring?" Yang Chen asked, confused.

"You must have heard of the primary duties of the three major powers within our Taiyuan Star System: Grand Abyss Palace handles external affairs, Heavenly Melody Mountain manages internal matters, and our Divine Night Sect maintains order from the shadows!" Princess Wenqi’s eyes were as clear as mountain water.

Yang Chen nodded. "Junior has indeed heard of this."

"The reason for the Divine Night Sect’s existence is to monitor the order of the Ten Thousand Realms, serving as a deterrent to rectify those of the Alien Tribes who harbor malicious intent toward human forces. Furthermore, we safeguard the peace of the human world across the Ten Thousand Realms. Only our Divine Night Sect can perform this duty, as the matters Grand Abyss Palace and Heavenly Melody Mountain handle within the Taiyuan Star System are merely trivial by comparison."

As Princess Wenqi spoke, her voice filled with a sense of indignation before she shifted the topic. "Regardless, the missions to suppress the Alien Tribes are numerous. You may select as many as you like. Once you have finished a sufficient number of these tasks, I will naturally provide the help you require."
