The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3150 - 3145: Beyond A-Class Task_1

A soft sigh escaped Yang Chen's lips when Princess Wen Qi posed the question to him.

He was fully aware that entering the Divine Night Sect was currently his most logical path forward.

Nonetheless, he found himself deep in thought regarding this decision, primarily because Zhang Xueling remained within the Taiyuan Palace.

That was the source of his reluctance; the feelings of Zhang Xueling had to be weighed in his considerations.

Following a moment of reflection, Yang Chen spoke with a hint of helplessness, "Senior, you are well aware of my junior’s circumstances. I simply ask that you grant me some time to decide."

Choosing between the Divine Night Sect and the Taiyuan Palace was not a matter to be settled with haste.

Princess Wen Qi gave a slight shake of her head, "It matters not. Your devotion to your wife is evident, and perhaps my judgment of you was correct. I only hope you weigh the choice carefully."

Yang Chen gave a respectful nod.

"While you decide, you are more than welcome to remain here at our Divine Night Sect. Furthermore, regarding your Slaughter God Spear, we shall uncover more information shortly. Of course, if you find it difficult to remain idle, there is a certain errand I might entrust to you. Whether you possess the courage to undertake it is entirely up to you." Princess Wen Qi’s lips parted slightly as she spoke.

Surprised, Yang Chen inquired, "What kind of errand?"

"Do you recall the mission I spoke of earlier, the one required to trade for the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo?" Princess Wen Qi clarified, "I have been pondering it, and a plan has formed."

"Please, Senior, tell me more." The moment he heard the task concerned the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo, Yang Chen gave his assent without a second thought.

Princess Wen Qi let out a small smile, "You haven't even inquired about the level of difficulty. Very well. Since your confidence is so high, I shall be blunt. Among all current boundaryless cultivation tasks, this is the only one that sits above A-level."

"Master!" Ji Yue Shuang appeared to realize something and moved to cry out in protest.

However, Princess Wen Qi cut her off before a single word could be uttered.

Ji Yue Shuang’s eyes grew wide, her mind racing as she wondered what her master was truly planning.

"What does the mission specifically involve?" Yang Chen asked.

"As for the details, Ji Yue Shuang will escort you tomorrow; she can explain the particulars better than I. I will only say that the danger far exceeds an A-level task, and the probability of failure is immense. Furthermore, a failure could very well result in your death. Should you be willing to face it and emerge successful, the secret to utilizing the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo will be yours." Princess Wen Qi spoke with an air of nonchalance.

Yang Chen let out a boisterous laugh, "I certainly have no objections to that."

"Excellent, Yang Chen. I truly respect your boldness. You may depart with Murong Qi for now. Ji Yue Shuang will find you tomorrow to begin the task," Princess Wen Qi declared.

Without lingering, Yang Chen took Murong Qi and they made their exit together.

Once they were gone, Ji Yue Shuang asked in a bewildered tone, "Master, why did you silence me? Are you really sending Yang Chen to handle that mission? Is that not the same as sending him to his grave? You saw how Xuan Zhen defeated me; that individual possesses monstrous strength, and no one at the same level can hope to rival him."

Princess Wen Qi replied, "Do you think I am ignorant of the fact that the Spirit God Royal Clan is nearly invincible against humans of the same rank? Yet, this task remains unfinished, and Xuan Zhen’s continued freedom is a thorn in my side. Yang Chen might not possess the power to slay Xuan Zhen, but he should have the means to survive. My goal is for him to suppress Xuan Zhen’s ego slightly, or at least show him that he cannot be so arrogant. Besides, you will accompany him this time, carrying the magic treasure I bestowed upon you. If Yang Chen falls into peril, use it to take him and escape."

Ji Yue Shuang’s face lit up with a joyful smile, "Master, you are actually permitting me to go with him?"

"You still require further tempering, but I will not be careless with your life. Remember, that treasure is for emergencies only. Furthermore, take this; if he truly faces Xuan Zhen without showing fear, give it to him," Princess Wen Qi instructed.

Ji Yue Shuang stared at the object her master produced, her eyes widening in shock, "Master, you... this item..."

"Do not look so shocked. I never intended to make things impossible for him. By merely having the guts to accept this mission, he has already earned my respect," Princess Wen Qi said with a smile.

"Master, you are far more selfless than you let on," Ji Yue Shuang teased, playfully sticking out her tongue.

...

After returning alongside Murong Qi, Yang Chen spent the day resting.

Murong Qi was formally inducted into the Divine Night Sect, and by the following morning, Bei Hongwang had come to lead her away. Meanwhile, Ji Yue Shuang arrived to meet Yang Chen.

Upon seeing him, Ji Yue Shuang wore a grave expression, "Young Master Yang Chen, are you absolutely certain you wish to pursue this mission?"

"Without a doubt," Yang Chen answered instantly.

"But are you aware that the task my master spoke of is the very same one where I suffered a defeat?" Ji Yue Shuang frowned deeply.

"Is it regarding that Xuan Zhen?" Yang Chen asked, seeking clarification.

"Precisely. I faced him once and was utterly crushed. I fear no human at the boundaryless cultivation stage can stand against him," Ji Yue Shuang shook her head in a helpless manner.

Even though she had been ordered to go, she secretly hoped Yang Chen would change his mind. Having experienced Xuan Zhen’s terrifying power firsthand, she did not wish to see Yang Chen throw his life away.

Yang Chen, however, suppressed a private chuckle. Ji Yue Shuang had no idea that he and Xuan Zhen had crossed paths once before.

He stated, "I appreciate your concern, Miss Ji. Even so, I still wish to test myself against Xuan Zhen."

"Very well, I knew you would be unyielding. Since you insist on going, I shall go with you," Ji Yue Shuang conceded.

"You are coming as well, Miss Ji?" Yang Chen was slightly caught off guard.

"Master commanded me to accompany you since I am familiar with the mission's details. I can at least serve as your guide," Ji Yue Shuang said with a giggle.

Yang Chen felt a sense of gratitude. Ji Yue Shuang could have avoided this dangerous trip, yet she chose to come along. It spoke volumes of her character.

He felt he had truly gained a friend in her.

Together, the pair made their way back to Fenghua Hall.

"Brother Yang Chen, Sister Ji, what brings you back to accept a task today?" Lu Zhen and Ye Li, who were now on friendly terms with Yang Chen, greeted them with smiles.

Ji Yue Shuang laughed softly, "Brother Lu Zhen, Brother Ye Li, I am here to register for a task that exceeds A-level."

"What? A task beyond A-level? Have you not learned your lesson from the last defeat, sister? You are no match for Xuan Zhen, so why go looking for trouble again?" Ye Li and Lu Zhen took turns lecturing her.

Ji Yue Shuang offered a faint smile, "Do not worry, senior brothers. I am not the one taking the mission."

"Then who is?" they asked in unison.

"It is Young Master Yang Chen," Ji Yue Shuang answered.
