The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3231 - 3226: The Purpose of Huan Ye Ming Wang_1

Few cultivators pursue the Spear Dao, yet their levels differ greatly. In Yang Chen's single spear thrust, an infinite profundity appeared that he'd never encountered.

Willow Stain felt utterly convinced that the depths of Yang Chen's Spear Dao surpassed all limits, completely out of his league.

That earlier strike, which looked so effortless, held insights that could transform his entire life if he grasped them.

Willow Stain froze up, lost in thought for a moment, until his father's prompt snapped him back. Trembling slightly, he replied, "Yes, Junior won't disappoint Senior."

Yang Chen noticed the burning eagerness in Willow Stain's gaze and gave a subtle nod.

He didn't add more words, but it was clear to him that Willow Stain possessed an unyielding dedication.

Regarding that spear thrust of his, whether Willow Stain managed to grasp its core was something Yang Chen couldn't influence.

"Keep at it, young one." Yang Chen clapped Willow Stain on the shoulder, blurred into motion, and vanished from sight.

Willow Stain gazed dazedly toward where Yang Chen had gone, his fists tightening as he realized this rare chance was his to grasp firmly.

Willow Feng brimmed with thrill too: "My boy, grab this opportunity tight. Becoming the disciple of such a mighty figure would put my mind at ease for your path ahead. And since this expert also walks the Spear Dao, he'd make the perfect mentor for you."

...

Once Yang Chen got back, Broken River and the other pair arrived shortly afterward, one by one.

Spotting Yang Chen upon their return, the trio couldn't shake off a wave of disappointment.

"What turned up from your investigations?" Yang Chen inquired.

Broken River shook his head: "We checked out the Lingtian Array but found zero leads or hints. That's expected, really. Otherwise, our junior sister and the rest wouldn't have headed to the Desolate Snake Desert."

"Then, what's your plan moving forward?" Yang Chen pressed.

Broken River crossed his arms, pondering briefly before responding, "No choice left. We'll head to the Desolate Snake Desert as a group of four and track down the Snake people for answers. With Junior Sister Moon Orchid vanishing there, we need the full story from those Snake folk. What say you three?"

"I'm fine with it," Yang Chen stated.

Madame Autumn Plum and Dao Guangwang exchanged glances, showing clear reluctance, yet with events at this stage, they held their tongues and simply nodded in acceptance.

After quick preparations, the four informed Willow Feng briefly and set off toward the Desolate Snake Desert together.

Traveling between realms posed no challenge for these four, making the trip to the Desolate Snake Desert straightforward.

The vast Desolate Snake Desert extended without end, barren across its expanse with no trace of living beings. Snake statues dotted the landscape, rising from the golden dunes, layered in grit and dust, radiating a timeless aura.

"This Desolate Snake Ancient City stays well concealed," Broken River remarked.

Dao Guangwang spoke in a chilly tone: "By hiding their city like this, the Snake people surely harbor hidden agendas."

Madame Autumn Plum shook her head: "Brother Daoguang, hold off on judgments. Over the years, the Snake people have offered endless treasures to our Heavenly Melody Mountain, showing their faithfulness. For Junior Sister Moon Orchid's issue, we should probe deeper before deciding. Avoid rash words. If Brother Daoguang's hot temper persists, we might anger the Snake people, and they could withhold the true locations of Junior Sister Moon Orchid and her companions."

Broken River nodded as well: "Brother Daoguang, curb that fiery side of yours."

Though Dao Guangwang felt reluctant, with the others insisting, he had no option but to agree with a nod and mutter, "Fine."

Yang Chen stayed composed, appearing to idly scan the area while keenly noting every nuance.

Unaware to Broken River and his companions, Yang Chen knew full well that constant surveillance shadowed him.

Having stepped into the barren, lifeless Desolate Snake Desert, there was no assurance the hidden watcher wouldn't strike.

While Yang Chen mulled over this, a sudden awareness hit him.

He nearly voiced it when Broken River's brows furrowed, suggesting he'd picked up on it too.

That kept Yang Chen silent, feigning ignorance.

Broken River bellowed, "Watch out, all! Foes incoming!"

His shout barely ended when four Snake people erupted from beneath the sand.

These four Snake people, fully mature, boasted strikingly attractive features. Armed with keen blades, each had reached the Heaven-separated Realm in cultivation.

The emergence of these four Heaven-separated Realm Snake people stunned Broken River.

"Since when have the Snake people boasted so many Heaven-separated Realm experts?" Broken River raged: "You Snake people dare assault us humans? Seeking death, are you?!"

"Hmph, humans? Only the idiotic royal clans put faith and dread in you lot. We of the Heaven’s Might Army fear no humans!" The four Snake people's tongues flicked out, their elongated scales sending chills down spines.

"Heaven’s Might Army?" Broken River and the other two exchanged puzzled looks.

With no moment to ponder or question, the four Heaven-separated Realm Snake people lunged into assault.

Each facing one opponent, the clash erupted in fierce intensity right away.

Yang Chen squared off against a Heaven-separated Realm Snake person too. This foe wielded a trident, its blows carrying power to stir tempests.

Amid swirling dunes of sand, the duels of the four Heaven-separated Realm fighters stirred massive chaos.

A frosty smirk played on Yang Chen's lips as he eyed his Heaven-separated Realm Snake opponent. Given his prowess, even all four combined would fall swiftly.

He'd planned to crush the Snake person effortlessly with a single gesture. Yet, aware of the ever-present gaze from the shadows, exposing his might would surely tip off the lurker.

That would make snaring the concealed foe far tougher.

Thus, Yang Chen acted strained, battling the Heaven-separated Realm Snake person with a relaxed facade.

Huan Ye Ming Wang and several Snake people witnessed the display plainly.

"Lord Huan Ye, sending them alone won't suffice to slay these four humans. Shall we lend aid?" A handful of Heaven-separated Realm Snake people voiced their worry.

Huan Ye Ming Wang scoffed, "You fools understand nothing. These four Heaven-separated Realm experts hail from Heavenly Melody Mountain. Overpowering them is tough enough, killing them even more so. If outmatched, they'll flee. Your intervention would only alarm them."

"Then, what does Lord Huan Ye plan...?" The Snake people queried, confused.

"My plan is to have them gauge these humans' power. If they're weak, I'll eliminate them at will with my strength!" Huan Ye Ming Wang declared.
