The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3177 - 3172: The Meng E Clan’s Secret_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
As he traveled, Yang Chen observed various members of the foreign races frantically tunneling into the earth, scouring the cavern walls, and searching for any concealed chambers. Despite their efforts, which had practically turned the entire subterranean world of Bi Shuangxing upside down, they had failed to uncover even a single trace of the legendary seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine.
This sight caused Yang Chen to feel a strange mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Having remained hidden in the shadows, he had hoped these foreign races would be the ones to unearth the seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine so he could seize it immediately. Even if he found himself outmatched in a direct confrontation, his mastery of the Space-Time Law would allow him to snatch the prize and escape effortlessly. He felt confident that such a plan was foolproof.
This strategic patience was precisely why he had refrained from attacking the foreign races; they were essentially his unwitting scouts in the search for the seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine.
Yet, to his surprise, after observing several different groups throughout their exhaustive search, not a single one had managed to stumble upon the prize.
Now, however, he found himself with a front-row seat to a violent clash between two different clans.
Ahead on a primary thoroughfare, powerful warriors from both factions had taken up positions. With weapons drawn and expressions grim, the air was thick with the tension of an impending slaughter.
The two groups involved were the Ta Niu Clan and the Meng E Clan.
Each clan possessed unique divine powers and innate talents, though their overall influence on Bi Shuangxing was considered average—neither dominant nor insignificant. For example, the teams currently present were led by only two Sky Separation Realm experts, while the rest of the ranks were comprised entirely of Boundaryless cultivators.
If a force of this magnitude were to encounter a group of human cultivators, they would likely be obliterated in an instant.
"Ta Niu Clan! You previously wounded three of my Meng E kin. Today, deep beneath the surface of Bi Shuangxing, we shall settle that debt!" the Sky Separation Realm expert of the Meng E Clan bellowed.
The leader of the Ta Niu Clan, a Sky Separation Realm expert distinguished by a pair of horns and a prominent bull-like nose, let out a low growl. "Meng E Clan, if you wish to settle scores, do it above ground. Right now, everyone’s priority is the seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine. Do not tell me you intend to abandon the search."
"Hmph, the seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine? Hahaha! You murdered my grandson! On the surface, I might tolerate your presence out of respect for the other clans, but down here, there is nowhere for you to hide!" roared the jet-black Sky Separation Realm expert of the Meng E Clan in a fit of rage.
With those words, the two factions surged forward into combat.
The Ta Niu Clan leader, possessing an equally fierce temperament, shouted back, "Fine! If the Meng E Clan thinks we are easy prey, then die! Kill them all!"
In a matter of moments, the two foreign clans were locked in a brutal struggle, and the body count began to rise rapidly.
Watching this chaotic spectacle from his hiding place, Yang Chen stroked his chin, his sense of amusement growing by the second.
His initial plan was to wait for the conflict to conclude and then step in to claim the spoils. By intervening once both sides were exhausted, he could easily take control of the situation and reap the rewards.
However, while the battle was in full swing, Yang Chen’s Soul Detection picked up a sudden anomaly.
"Hmm?"
Squinting his eyes as he peered into the distance, Yang Chen noticed a separate detachment of the Meng E Clan emerging from the shadows.
This secondary group matched the main force in strength; though they lacked a Sky Separation Realm leader, they were spearheaded by several powerful Boundaryless cultivators.
This group moved with great stealth. While the main Meng E force attacked the Ta Niu Clan like rabid dogs to keep them occupied, this secret unit slipped away to a different area. After navigating through various tunnels, they arrived at a seemingly solid, seamless wall.
This maneuver immediately piqued Yang Chen’s curiosity.
"How intriguing. While the main body of the Meng E Clan acts like a pack of wild animals, they have another group executing a covert operation. It appears the Meng E Clan isn't as mindless as they seem; they have a hidden agenda," Yang Chen mused with a faint smile.
Continuing his silent observation, he watched the Meng E Clan members begin to inspect the Liuli wall.
"Sir Wuer Duo, it is definitely located here," a Boundaryless cultivator from the Meng E Clan stated with a confident laugh.
"Are you certain of this?" Wuer Duo asked, his voice tinged with doubt.
"Beyond a doubt. Millions of years ago, our ancestors excavated this exact wall and discovered a deeper cavern containing four seven-colored Colored Glaze Mines. Now that an eon has passed and the wall has naturally repaired itself, it is certain that new deposits of the seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine have formed within," the Boundaryless cultivator explained with excitement.
A smirk played across Wuer Duo’s lips. "If your words are true, this is a monumental find. While the Elders keep the others distracted, we must move quickly!"
Without further delay, Wuer Duo struck the Liuli wall with his palm.
The force of the blow was immense, causing the Liuli wall to fracture and crumble instantly.
"Wuer Duo is quite formidable. With his Half-step Sky Separation Realm Cultivation, his prowess likely rivals the top thirty warriors on the Great Luo Celestial Stele. It seems these foreign races possess exceptional talents as well, comparable to the elites on the Human Daluo Sky Ranking," Yang Chen whispered to himself.
"Sir Wuer Duo’s power is truly magnificent!" several subordinates chimed in, eager to flatter him.
While Wuer Duo basked in the praise, he remained focused. "Enough flattery. Focus on the task at hand. The seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine is our only priority. Everyone, move in!"
"Sir Wuer Duo, should we station a guard at the entrance?" one member suggested.
"A guard? Don't be a fool. If someone sees a sentry here, it will only draw attention to our discovery," Wuer Duo replied coldly. "To ensure nothing goes wrong, everyone enters together."
This decision suited Yang Chen perfectly, as it allowed him to follow them inside without having to deal with any lookouts. He trailed them closely.
Beyond the broken Liuli wall lay a truly remarkable sight.
A massive tunnel stretched out before them, sloping deeper into the earth as the surrounding space expanded significantly.
Furthermore, a captivating glow began to fill the air, the shimmering radiance of the seven-colored Colored Glaze reflecting off their faces.
"Sir, look at that light! It is the glow of the seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine! It really was hidden here! Hahaha!" the Meng E Clan members cheered joyfully.
"Keep your voices down!" several of the Meng E Clan Elders hissed in reprimand.
"What is there to fear? The Elders outside are leading the Ta Niu Clan far away from here."
Wuer Duo cautioned them, "Restrain your excitement. Caution is always our best ally. However, it does indeed appear that we have found a seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine."
As they spoke, the party reached the end of the corridor. Bathed in a brilliant, shimmering light, several large blocks of vibrantly colored ore sat before them.
"It is the seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, without a doubt!" Even Wuer Duo could no longer contain his fervor.
The rest of the group was equally mesmerized, their eyes filled with greed and wonder as they gazed upon the treasure.
"One, two, three, four..."
