The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3160 - 3155: United Against a Common Enemy_1

"If Xuan Zhen truly retreats toward Taiyuan Palace, wouldn't we lack a valid justification to step in?" Yang Chen questioned with some uncertainty. "What would that mean for my assignment?"

The group traded looks before breaking into spontaneous laughter. It was clear that Yang Chen was likely the only individual capable of hunting down and eliminating Xuan Zhen.

With a cold smirk, Lin Tianyi remarked, "The Taiyuan Palace is well aware of your situation, Yang Chen. The news that you forced Xuan Zhen to flee in under ten breaths has already echoed throughout the human race. Technically, we can only provide assistance if they formally request it. Intervening uninvited would appear improper. However, the solution is simple: if Xuan Zhen continues to ravage Taiyuan Palace's territory and they find themselves overwhelmed, they will have no choice but to beg for Brother Yang Chen’s aid."

Yang Chen felt a sense of relief wash over him upon hearing those words.

Han Bo chimed in with a chuckle, "Brother Yang Chen, since you have concluded your secluded Cultivation, we should find time to socialise if you are available."

Naturally, Yang Chen found it difficult to decline the offer. He recognized that these men had sought him out immediately upon his emergence out of respect for his strength, so he gave his consent.

The demeanor of Han Bo and Lin Tianyi toward Yang Chen had shifted significantly toward deep respect. As they sat together, the conversation was lively, and they inquired about various matters with great interest.

Yang Chen was sharp enough to perceive the underlying motives of Han Bo and Lin Tianyi.

Given his current combat prowess, he was considered an invaluable asset on Bi Shuangxing. Cultivators at the Boundaryless stage were exceptionally rare and vital existences on this planet.

Furthermore, his ability to intimidate Xuan Zhen into a retreat made him a figure of immense strategic importance for the Divine Night Sect’s operations here.

Han Bo and Lin Tianyi were well aware, however, that Yang Chen intended to depart once his mission reached its conclusion. In an effort to persuade him to stay, they engaged him in frequent dialogue.

Their questions were subtly designed to probe his timeline—specifically, when he planned to leave and whether he might depart before the mission was fully finalized.

While Yang Chen understood their intentions, he had no desire to linger on Bi Shuangxing. His plan remained to leave the moment Xuan Zhen was slain.

Meanwhile, Xuan Zhen had reached the domains governed by the Taiyuan Palace, sparking widespread chaos and terror. Numerous powerful experts were mobilized to suppress the threat.

Eliminating Xuan Zhen proved to be a daunting task. After several violent clashes, many high-level combatants were left either dead or severely wounded.

Whenever a truly formidable opponent was deployed, Xuan Zhen would vanish instantly, refusing to engage. This hit-and-run tactic allowed him to seize several mining regions belonging to the Taiyuan Palace, leaving the organization in a desperate state.

With their options exhausted, the Taiyuan Palace was forced to petition the Divine Night Sect for help. They were painfully aware that Yang Chen was the very reason Xuan Zhen had brought this calamity to their doorstep in the first place.

When the request reached Han Bo and Lin Tianyi, the two men shared a hearty laugh before heading off to find Yang Chen.

"Haha, Brother Yang Chen, the plan worked! The representatives from Taiyuan Palace have arrived to seek your intervention," Han Bo announced, laughing.

Standing beside Yang Chen, Ji Yue Shuang tightened her small fist and let out a huff. "So, those people from Taiyuan Palace finally realized they need the Divine Night Sect? It’s quite satisfying to see that they couldn't hold their ground for even a few days."

"Hahaha, Junior Sister, we are of the same mind. Seeing Taiyuan Palace lowered to this state is truly gratifying," Lin Tianyi added, his face beaming with joy.

Han Bo teased, "This is all thanks to Brother Yang Chen. He truly allowed our Divine Night Sect to vent some long-held frustration. By the way, Brother Yang Chen, when do you intend to set out? You could actually make those Taiyuan Palace people wait a while. They are usually quite arrogant, so there is no need to show them any special courtesy."

Yang Chen replied in a neutral tone, "There is no need for that. It is better to finish Xuan Zhen quickly to prevent any unforeseen complications."

His focus was entirely on his target; he felt no need to play petty political games with the others.

"If that is your wish, then let it be so. Brother Yang Chen shall lead the way. Haha, let us go," Han Bo said, guiding the group.

"I am coming as well! I want to witness exactly how Yang Chen takes down Xuan Zhen," Ji Yue Shuang insisted, following closely at Yang Chen’s side.

Although Han Bo and Lin Tianyi hadn't planned on bringing a large entourage, they couldn't very well leave their Junior Sister behind.

Before long, the party reached Shi Ye City, the primary stronghold of the Taiyuan Palace on Bi Shuangxing.

As the hub of human influence on the planet and the center of the most productive mining operations, Shi Ye City was the heart of Taiyuan Palace's power. As they descended from the sky, two high-ranking Elders from the palace rushed out to meet them.

These two men possessed long, snow-white eyebrows and beards, having attained the Heaven-separated Realm of Cultivation. They greeted the arrivals with urgent warmth. "Brother Han Bo, Brother Lin, you have finally come! Might we ask which of you is the esteemed Yang Chen?"

Observing their frantic behavior, Han Bo realized just how much Xuan Zhen had terrorized the Taiyuan Palace forces over the past several days.

He gestured and laughed, "This is Yang Chen."

Yang Chen clasped his hands in a respectful greeting. "I greet the two seniors."

"This young man is Daoist friend Yang Chen?" the Elders asked, their voices laced with shock and disbelief.

They had envisioned Yang Chen as an ancient Boundaryless Cultivator with centuries of experience; how else could he have bested Xuan Zhen? Seeing his youthful appearance caught them completely off guard.

However, they didn't dare question his repute. "Ah, so this is Daoist friend Yang Chen. Truly, you are a young hero of great promise. Please, everyone, let us move inside to discuss the details!"

The Elders ushered the group into the city with great ceremony. Along the way, Han Bo informed Yang Chen that these two were prominent figures within the Taiyuan Palace, known as King Jin Jue and King Bai Ku.

Upon entering the city, the two Kings treated their guests with the utmost hospitality, offering premium tea and spirits with constant smiles. Their humble attitude reflected their desperate need for assistance.

"Daoist friend Yang Chen, Brother Han Bo, let us speak plainly. We all recognize that Xuan Zhen of the Spirit God Royal Clan poses a grave threat to all mankind. If we fail to destroy him, his presence will only lead to further ruin. We must stand united to wipe out this enemy," King Bai Ku declared with an air of righteousness.

Hearing this, Han Bo and Lin Tianyi struggled to suppress their laughter.

Even Junior Sister Ji Yue Shuang couldn't hide a fleeting smirk, though she quickly regained her composure.

These men spoke with such noble conviction now, but where was this sense of human unity when Xuan Zhen was attacking the Divine Night Sect? Only now that the Taiyuan Palace was suffering did they find their sense of justice.
