The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3209 - 3204: Saving One’s Life, Deserving Compensation_1

Yang Chen had no intention of refusing such an offer.

In the present circumstances, the Divine Night Sect's bold choice to save him clearly demonstrated how highly they regarded him.

He possessed every reason to accept without hesitation.

As they trailed after Gu Jianchou, Ji Yue Shuang bombarded him with questions about his daring escape.

Yang Chen kept his responses brief and superficial, avoiding deep explanations. He especially skimmed past the details of certain formidable skills.

This approach had long defined his way of handling things.

Yet, with each mention of these events, Ji Yue Shuang's eyes widened in admiration, leaving her baffled at how Yang Chen had endured such ordeals.

Gu Jianchou, too, felt a spark of interest; his extensive background allowed him to sense that Yang Chen was withholding key details. The risks hidden in those moments likely ran far deeper than even he could grasp.

Therefore, Gu Jianchou guided Yang Chen along the return path, while Yi Tian, Han Yi, and the other four Heavenly Mandate powerhouses headed back to the Grand Abyss Palace to relay the events to the Spirit Separation Ancestor.

The Spirit Separation Ancestor, absorbing these reports, surged with immediate rage: "What... the Divine Night Sect actually dares to shield Yang Chen? Is this truly what happened?"

Han Yi fidgeted with the most discomfort, as Yi Tian and the rest recounted everything straightforwardly: "Ancestor Daozu, every word we speak is the absolute truth. Yang Chen was indeed rescued by Gu Jianchou. This clearly shows the Divine Night Sect's stance. We simply had no way to intervene..."

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Separation Ancestor’s wrath blazed even fiercer: "Well, well, what a bold Divine Night Sect, they have the audacity to disregard my authority. Hmph, let's see exactly what schemes the Divine Night Sect is plotting. Get everything ready—I’ll head to the Divine Night Sect myself!"

...

Just as Han Yi and his companions arrived back at the Grand Abyss Palace, Gu Jianchou was escorting Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang toward the Divine Night Sect.

Upon their approach, several figures hurried out to offer welcomes.

Gu Jianchou paid them no mind and pressed on with Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang, venturing deeper into the Divine Night Sect until arriving at a location Yang Chen had never visited.

This spot overlooked the Crescent Moon Summit, the ambient space appearing barren yet profoundly illusory.

To capture its essence, it felt utterly devoid of substance, while simultaneously overflowing with profound abundance, as though all things were encompassed within. It resembled a self-contained realm.

"What is this place..." Yang Chen wondered aloud in astonishment.

"This is the hidden sanctuary of the Divine Night Sect, known as the Palace of the Round Moon. Normally, even Sky-separation Realm cultivators from the sect are barred from entering. But this occasion marks a special allowance. Your situation has drawn the interest of numerous elders, compelling them to meet you face-to-face." Gu Jianchou clarified.

"The Palace of the Round Moon? Wow, I’ve only heard tales of it, but never stepped foot inside..." Ji Yue Shuang gasped in surprise.

Yang Chen fell into contemplation.

He understood that the Divine Night Sect's intervention on his behalf couldn't stem from mere whim; some deeper purpose surely drove it.

Only by stepping into the Palace of the Round Moon could he uncover what the Divine Night Sect expected from him.

"Your issue alone prompted the elite powerhouses of the Palace of the Round Moon to debate extensively for quite some time. It even pulled me from my seclusion." Gu Jianchou continued, "Naturally, don’t get the wrong idea. Other topics are on the agenda this time as well. Still, your circumstances carry real weight. They’ve garnered the focus of the Daozu ancestors."

With those words, Gu Jianchou flicked his wrist, causing a vivid crimson fissure to split open across the Crescent Moon Summit.

The fissure slowly morphed into a gateway.

The trio then crossed the threshold, plunging into a realm of icy chill and frost.

A piercing cold permeated the air here, the environment vast and desolate, save for a towering, awe-inspiring palace looming in the distance, its grandeur utterly imposing.

Gu Jianchou advanced first, with Yang Chen close behind, and inside the palace, they encountered a gathering of immensely formidable figures.

Among the faces stood the recognizable Princess Wenqi.

Princess Wenqi rested with her hands clasped behind her back, flanked by four additional figures.

With a single look, Yang Chen recognized these four as Heavenly Extreme Realm masters, radiating an intimidating presence that instilled dread in any observer.

Yang Chen realized that, together with Princess Wenqi, these five occupied the uppermost echelons of authority in the Divine Night Sect.

Five Heavenly Extreme Realms!

Furthermore, this lineup might not encompass every Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivator in the Divine Night Sect. It was commonplace for some to be away on missions or otherwise unavailable.

Beneath these five Heavenly Extreme Realms sat a diverse array of mighty individuals, varying in age and attire, yet nearly all had attained at least the Heaven-appointed Realm in their cultivation paths.

"Senior and junior brothers, the five Daozu ancestors, I’ve brought Yang Chen here safely," Gu Jianchou announced with a respectful bow.

In that instant, multiple divine senses swept over Yang Chen, sending shivers racing along his spine.

Each powerhouse present vastly outstripped his own capabilities.

Despite his broad experiences, Yang Chen offered a cupped-fist salute: "The junior pays respects to all the seniors here."

Observing Yang Chen's composure, the four Daozu beside Princess Wenqi displayed a range of reactions, though their gazes toward him softened over time.

"Junior Sister Wenqi, your assessment holds true—this Yang Chen possesses real potential. Facing us without flinching shows his mental fortitude has truly met the mark." Two Daozu affirmed with nods beside Princess Wenqi.

At that, Princess Wenqi offered a faint smile before fixing her gaze on Yang Chen: "Yang Chen, it’s a relief to see you safe. Now that you’re here, I’ll speak plainly. In this expansive cosmos today, likely only our Divine Night Sect possesses the might to shelter you. Rescuing you has fully antagonized the Grand Abyss Palace. The reason? We recognize your exceptional gifts. Yang Chen, what decision will you take?"

Without a moment’s pause, Yang Chen met Princess Wenqi’s eyes and bowed deeply, declaring, "Junior Yang Chen pledges from this day forward to devote himself to the Divine Night Sect. Whether scaling mountains of blades or diving into fiery abysses, I’ll charge ahead without a grimace! My deepest gratitude to Senior Wenqi and all the seniors!"

These sentiments sprang straight from his core.

The Divine Night Sect's act of salvation came at a steep cost. What more could Yang Chen possibly utter?

Put simply, his very existence now belonged to the Divine Night Sect, and going forward, he vowed to exert every effort in returning the favor.

He was determined to prove to the Divine Night Sect that aiding Yang Chen marked their wisest choice ever.

Likewise, he aimed to demonstrate to the Grand Abyss Palace that sparing Yang Chen represented their most grievous error!

"No thanks are necessary from you; credit goes to your own feat of overcoming twenty-eight Heavenly Leaving Realm foes. That display revealed the immense power and aptitude you hold. Such prowess belongs on the battlefield against the alien races. Losing you prematurely would truly be a tragic loss." An elderly man with white brows beside Princess Wenqi remarked with a grin.
