The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3220: 3215: Admiring Oneself?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
At the sound of Yang Chen's declaration, Ye Fengyi and even the mighty figures beyond the entrance snapped to attention in an instant.
Prior to this, they hadn't delved that deeply into the matter; they simply assumed that having attained the Heavenly Fate Realm in cultivation, Yang Chen wouldn't dare to disrespect them.
After all, the repercussions of crossing them were all too clear in their minds!
Yet, they had overlooked the true nature of Yang Chen himself.
He had slain Mo Wanchou, provoked the Spirit Separation Ancestor and the Grand Abyss Palace, and still managed to flee. Why would he fear them at this point?
Though their Heavenly Fate Realm prowess was formidable, it paled in comparison to the Grand Abyss Palace— the difference in strength and status was obvious at a glance!
Stunned by Yang Chen's retort, Ye Fengyi found himself at a loss for words momentarily. After a pause, he forced out a retort and bellowed, “Yang Chen, just you wait!”
With the exchange concluded, Ye Fengyi reluctantly released his hold and departed.
Once Ye Fengyi was gone, the other two Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses couldn't avoid some self-examination.
Upon reflection, it struck them that there was little justification for flaunting their Heavenly Fate cultivation before Yang Chen.
Everyone was there seeking the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine through connections, and moreover, Yang Chen showed no fear of them whatsoever.
Quickly, the pair shifted their demeanor, offering genuine apologies much like the earlier Thousand Autumns True Person.
To them, enduring a brief embarrassment was worthwhile if it meant securing the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine—a worthwhile trade-off.
Furthermore, Yang Chen appeared far from the type to be petty or irrational.
Yang Chen, of course, wasn't one to complicate matters unnecessarily. Seeing their apologies, he produced the pristine Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine and handed it over to them.
Only after those two departed did Yang Chen believe he might enjoy some peace. Yet, unexpectedly, Ji Yue Shuang arrived shortly thereafter to seek him out.
“Miss Ji, what brings you here?” Yang Chen inquired with a grin.
Ji Yue Shuang's laughter rang out clear as a bell. “My master wishes to speak with you; she sent me to fetch you.”
Without knowing Princess Wenqi's purpose in summoning him, Yang Chen naturally agreed without hesitation. “Alright, Miss Ji, lead the way.”
Together, they ascended to the mountain's summit and located Princess Wenqi.
True to form, Princess Wenqi donned a white robe whiter than fresh snow. She stood tall, pivoting to face them with her gaze, and uttered, “You've arrived.”
Yang Chen promptly bowed in reverence. “This junior greets Senior Wenqi.”
Princess Wenqi gave a subtle nod. “Please, take a seat.”
Since this wasn't their first encounter, Yang Chen and Princess Wenqi shared a level of familiarity that dispensed with excessive formality. Accompanied by Ji Yue Shuang, they settled into a serene spot.
Rather than pressing Princess Wenqi about her intentions right away, Yang Chen, as the junior, waited composedly for her to initiate the discussion.
Wasting no time on games, Princess Wenqi stated plainly, “Yang Chen, I suspect you can surmise at least part of the reason for my visit.”
“Does it concern the Slaughter God Spear?” Yang Chen ventured after a brief consideration.
During his previous departure, updates on the Slaughter God Spear had already surfaced, so this visit likely signaled a resolution.
“Indeed. I'm not sure how your spear accomplished it, but it ended up in the Wind Moon World.” Princess Wenqi remarked.
“Wind Moon World?” Yang Chen echoed, taken aback.
Princess Wenqi offered a gentle smile. “The Wind Moon World belongs to Heavenly Melody Mountain's domain, serving as its central stronghold.”
Enlightenment dawned on Yang Chen, leaving him between amusement and exasperation. His Slaughter God Spear had truly stirred up unnecessary complications by landing in Heavenly Melody Mountain's territory.
“Our discovery revealed only that the Slaughter God Spear was held by Heavenly Melody Mountain. I had intended for you to head straight there and retrieve it. But lately, they've dispatched an unexpected secret message!” Princess Wenqi explained.
“A secret message? Is it tied to the Slaughter God Spear?” Yang Chen wondered aloud, perplexed.
“You're reading too much into it. Our own inquiries merely confirmed the Slaughter God Spear's possession by Heavenly Melody Mountain; its exact holder remains a mystery. There's no way they'd know it's yours. Still, this message does pertain to you.” Princess Wenqi chuckled.
The situation struck Yang Chen as oddly peculiar, prompting him to admit, “I'm truly at a loss here.”
“You're not alone in that; even I'm somewhat taken aback. Must say, you're a fortunate one, kid. The message originates from Fairy Fu of Tianqu Mountain.” Princess Wenqi revealed.
The unknown name caught Yang Chen off guard. “This junior has no recollection of any interactions with Fairy Fu.”
“Perhaps not you, but Fairy Fu holds you in high regard.” Ji Yue Shuang giggled with delight.
“Holds me in high regard?” Yang Chen blinked in confusion.
“Shuang’er speaks truly. To quote Fairy Fu directly, she's admired you ever since you felled those twenty-eight Heavenly Leaving Realm foes. She desires a personal meeting, yet as elusive as a coiling dragon, and given her position as a woman, it's improper for her to approach you—so she invites you instead. She assures fair treatment.” Princess Wenqi's lips curved slightly. “From the looks of it, Yang Chen, this Fairy Fu takes quite a shine to you.”
“Hee hee, Yang Chen's feat of slaying twenty-eight Heavenly Leaving Realm experts has rocked the whole Taiyuan Star System recently. Surely more than a few in Heavenly Melody Mountain look up to him now. Fairy Fu shows real courage by stating her interest outright in a secret message. I consider myself forward, but I'd never go that far.” Ji Yue Shuang huffed with a pout.
Thoroughly baffled and somewhat alarmed, Yang Chen pressed, “Senior Wenqi, just who is this Fairy Fu exactly?”
Being inexplicably admired left him utterly clueless.
“Fairy Fu outranks Ji Yue Shuang; she's a prodigy from the prior generation's Daluo Celestial Stele and has long since advanced to the Heavenly Separated Realm. Renowned across Heavenly Melody Mountain with throngs of suitors, she's remained aloof, devoting herself to cultivation over the years, seldom entertaining notions of romance or mingling with men from rival sects.” Princess Wenqi elaborated.
Yang Chen sighed in resignation. “If Fairy Fu seeks me out, there might be ulterior motives at play. I'm not sure I can navigate that.”
“No need for concern. As a member of Heavenly Melody Mountain, she'd have no cause to scheme against you. Besides, with her laying it out so openly as a woman, you can't just ignore it entirely. Seize the chance to recover the Slaughter God Spear and meet her. Should sparks fly and talks of union arise, our Divine Night Sect will back you fully on such matters.” Princess Wenqi assured.
