The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3170 - 3165: Xuan Zhen’s Corpse_1

Ji Yue Shuang possessed a fiery temperament, and witnessing Yang Chen being lured into a snare by the legendary Xuan Jie of the Spirit God Race left her seething with rage as she demanded an accounting for the situation.

Had more people been involved, it might have been excusable. However, how could Mo Wanchou be ignorant of Xuan Jie’s sudden appearance?

After suffering a defeat and retreating in silence without uttering a single warning, Mo Wanchou had allowed Yang Chen to walk into peril. Even a figure as talented as Yang Chen would find facing the monstrous Xuan Jie alone to be a life-threatening ordeal.

The representatives from Shi Ye City were overcome with such shame they could hardly lift their heads. They, too, possessed very little knowledge regarding these developments.

The fault lay entirely with Mo Wanchou, yet they were now forced to share the burden of his actions.

In that tense moment, Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang could only offer bitter excuses, saying, "This is a misunderstanding, truly! We were completely unaware of these details."

"You still have the nerve to argue? Mo Wanchou retreated all the way here and claimed it was Xuan Zhen’s doing. Wasn't it actually because he was wounded by both Xuan Jie and Xuan Zhen that he stayed silent? What was he trying to achieve!" Ji Yue Shuang screamed in fury.

"We..." Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang wore expressions of pure misery.

While Han Bo and Lin Tianyi were also incensed, they maintained more composure than Ji Yue Shuang. Observing the current state of affairs, they could discern that Bai Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang had likely been kept in the dark by Mo Wanchou.

"Enough, Sister Ji. Let us take this matter to Uncle Wen Qi and allow her to pass judgment," Han Bo suggested.

"Very well." Ji Yue Shuang replied, her silver teeth clenched tight.

"Please, have some compassion. If Princess Wenqi becomes involved, won't this escalate into a massive scandal?" Ku Wang felt a wave of dread wash over him.

"Then what is your proposal?" Han Bo snorted with cold disdain. "Bai Ku Wang, I realize you were uninformed, but today's events cannot simply be swept under the rug!"

Both Bai Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang looked pained, realizing in their hearts that there was no other way to resolve the situation.

After all, the involvement of Xuan Jie in today's conflict had truly pushed everyone to their limits.

Yang Chen was also nursing a deep anger, though he suppressed it rather than lashing out. Upon hearing that Xuan Jie had a significant background, he couldn't help but inquire, "Senior Han Bo, what exactly is Xuan Jie’s status? Having traded blows with him, I found his strength to be overwhelming."

Hearing Yang Chen’s question, Han Bo felt a mix of amusement and sorrow.

Initially, the sight of Xuan Jie had made him tremble, fearing for Yang Chen’s life.

Seeing Yang Chen return unscathed, he had momentarily wondered if the youth had suffered some hidden injury.

But seeing Yang Chen standing there perfectly healthy, he realized the young man truly didn't understand. Yang Chen hadn't grasped that typically, no one survived an encounter with Xuan Jie.

"Xuan Jie is the second prince of the Spirit God Royal Clan. There are twelve princes in total within the Spirit God Clan. Among them, the weakest are at the Mahayana Stage, while the most powerful have attained the Heavenly Extreme Realm. As for Xuan Jie, he has lived for nearly a million years, spending 280,000 years solely within the Realmless stage." Han Bo sighed heavily.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand years?" Yang Chen was visibly stunned.

Xuan Jie was truly a terrifying figure: "What could he possibly be doing in the Realmless for such a duration?"

"No one is certain. Even his younger siblings have ascended to the Heavenly Extreme Realm and the Heaven-appointed Realm. Xuan Jie alone remains an enigma. Some believe that with the innate talent of the Spirit God Royal Clan, he would have reached the Heaven-appointed Realm long ago if he chose to advance. Yet, he lingers in the Realmless, refusing to break through. Though his reasons are unknown, one can only imagine the depth of his power." Han Bo shook his head.

Yang Chen’s expression grew solemn as he felt a secret wave of shock.

He had been unaware, but he now understood the sheer dread Xuan Jie inspired, having refined his Cultivation in the Realmless for nearly eight hundred thousand years.

Such a span of time was immense even for a typical Realmless expert, enough to undergo a total metamorphosis. This was especially true for a member of the Spirit God Royal Clan.

"Yang Chen, my young friend, the fact that you survived is a great relief to us all. On that note, where is Xuan Zhen? We didn't see him when we arrived," Han Bo asked.

Following his question, many others turned their gazes toward Yang Chen, filled with curiosity regarding Xuan Zhen’s whereabouts.

Indeed, what had become of Xuan Zhen?

Every eye was fixed on Yang Chen, awaiting his response.

Yang Chen gave a faint smile and remained silent for a moment. He then retrieved the remains of Xuan Zhen, which he had kept within the Demon God Tower.

"While Xuan Jie is indeed a formidable opponent, Xuan Zhen ran out of luck and was slain by my hand." Yang Chen presented the corpse of Xuan Zhen for all to see.

After the kill, he had concealed the body. Such a corpse was a rare treasure, and he intended to keep it secure.

The moment Xuan Zhen’s remains were revealed, everyone present froze in stunned silence, unable to process the sight.

"This... this is...!"

Several powerful experts pointed at the body, some gasping in shock, others laughing with relief, while many simply exhaled in heavy silence.

Once the initial shock faded, their faces were replaced by expressions of sheer joy and exhilaration.

They understood that with Xuan Zhen dead, a major threat had finally been eliminated.

However, they remained awestruck by Yang Chen’s prowess. He had actually succeeded in killing Xuan Zhen.

Furthermore, he had accomplished this feat right under the nose of Xuan Jie.

The people of Shi Ye City felt a profound sense of shame, and even the followers of Mo Wanchou felt humiliated.

Their Young Master, Mo Wanchou, had led numerous campaigns but never managed to defeat Xuan Zhen; he hadn't even dared to pursue him. On the one occasion he did, Mo Wanchou was stripped of his dignity and forced to run.

In contrast, Yang Chen had hunted Xuan Zhen down and ended him in his very first engagement.

"Friend Yang Chen, you have performed a great service for Shi Ye City. We cannot thank you enough. Please, accept these treasures as a token of our gratitude." Ku Wang and Jin Jue Wang, acting quickly, produced a storage bag overflowing with precious ores and presented it to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen recognized their motive. Having witnessed his strength and knowing of the previous friction, they were eager to build a bridge.

Yang Chen bore no malice toward them, though he wasn't particularly fond of them either. He accepted the bag with a polite nod.

"Senior Han Bo, these are for you." Yang Chen distributed the spoils among them, showing no signs of avarice.

This gesture caused Han Bo to erupt into laughter. The fact that Yang Chen considered them immediately was deeply heartening.

"Excellent, excellent!" As Han Bo and Lin Tianyi looked at Yang Chen, their admiration for the young man grew even stronger.
