The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3251 - 3246: Saving Fairy Moon Fu_1

After hearing King Huan Ye Ming's statement, Yang Chen remained puzzled about his true intentions.

Of course, he had little intention of simply accepting the claims from the Netherworld Ghosts, responding with composure, "King Huan Ye Ming, are you suggesting I strike a deal with a Netherworld ghost? Do you truly believe I'll place my trust in you?"

King Huan Ye Ming let out a booming laugh, "Yang Chen, it's high time you saw the situation clearly. In this ongoing clash, neither side can gain the upper hand over the other. Such a battle holds no value. Furthermore, don't claim you have no interest in rescuing those six vanished souls from Heavenly Melody Mountain."

At these words, Yang Chen's face slowly turned grave.

"Are those six individuals under your control?" Yang Chen demanded in a frosty tone.

With hands clasped behind his back, King Huan Ye Ming offered a serene smile, "What do you suppose? Yang Chen, regarding those six, their fate rests entirely in my grasp—if I decree they live, they survive; if I will their end, they perish in an instant. I doubt you'd stand by while your six allies meet their doom."

Yang Chen paused, weighing his options.

For any other group of six, he might not have cared, since his main goal was securing the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag.

Yet one among them was Fairy Moon Fu.

He had learned earlier that Fairy Moon Fu served as the personal disciple to Absolute Yi Daozu.

Absolute Yi Daozu wouldn't grow anxious over Fairy Moon Fu's absence for a few years, for such a span meant little to mighty figures at the Daozu realm, passing like a fleeting moment.

But should Fairy Moon Fu meet her end, Absolute Yi Daozu would erupt in rage, and Yang Chen would almost certainly forfeit the Slaughter God Spear.

He needed to approach the issue of Fairy Moon Fu with utmost care, avoiding any rash moves.

After thorough deliberation, Yang Chen resolved that saving Fairy Moon Fu was essential. Neither his sentiments nor his sense of duty allowed him to abandon the six.

"Is this the item you're after?" Yang Chen turned his palm over, revealing the enormous egg he'd claimed from the Tenth Floor of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.

The sight of the massive egg sparked a gleam of avarice in King Huan Ye Ming's gaze.

"Indeed, that's the one. I'll swap these six lives for it—a perfectly even trade." King Huan Ye Ming chuckled, inwardly stunned that Yang Chen had truly seized the prized artifact.

Yang Chen eyed the giant egg pensively before speaking, "You orchestrated the arrival of so many Netherworld forces into the Nine Dragons World all for this? How intriguing, though trading it solely for the six isn't sufficient."

"Are you after the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag as well?" King Huan Ye Ming inquired.

"Sharp as ever. Surrender the flag without resistance, then deliver the six to me. Once that's done, the giant egg is yours." Yang Chen replied with a grin.

King Huan Ye Ming curved his lips into a subtle smile, "That works fine; I have no use for the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag myself. I'll hand it over at the proper moment. Still, I trust Brother Yang Chen won't attempt any deceptions. Since I hold the power to seize those six, their lives are mine to command. Ending them would be effortless. I urge Brother Yang Chen to consider wisely and avoid actions that harm his own allies."

Yang Chen responded evenly, "Is that a threat you're issuing?"

"Merely a gentle warning. I'll dictate the exchange's timing and notify you when it's set." King Huan Ye Ming declared with assurance.

Given his prowess in battling a band of humans on equal terms, he brimmed with certainty to negotiate with Yang Chen whenever he chose.

Yang Chen held his tongue further.

King Huan Ye Ming vaulted skyward, "Withdraw!"

The assembly of Ghost Kings and the Heaven’s Might Army of the Snake People swiftly departed in King Huan Ye Ming's wake, departing with the very arrogance they had promised.

At present, the human forces bore heavy wounds from the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower ordeal. Pursuit of the enemies proved impossible. Though resentment burned within, they could only clench their jaws and let the foes escape.

Wind Emperor and his companions reeled in disbelief, never imagining such a formidable power lurked within their Nine Dragons World. Over twenty Ghost Kings alongside the Heaven’s Might Army of the Snake People had arrived and vanished at will, rendering the Snake People Royal Family utterly overshadowed.

"These Netherworld beings..." Wind Emperor muttered with a quiver in his voice.

Madame Autumn Plum cast a look toward Yang Chen and the rest, then let out a heavy sigh. "With the Netherworld forces now involved, that must explain the abundance of Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses in the Heaven’s Might Army. We ought to alert the higher authorities without delay. What's your view on this, all of you?"

Broken River and Dao Guangwang pondered deeply, balancing the risks and benefits.

Yang Chen spoke up, "Reaching Heavenly Melody Mountain won't be simple, especially with these foes dominating the Heavenly Eye. They'd detect any attempt to slip away. Even if we force a breakout as a group, Fairy Moon Fu and the others remain captive to these spectral entities!"

"What?!" Broken River's complexion drained of color in an instant, "Junior Sister Moon Orchid and the rest... this is disastrous!"

"We'll talk it over once we're back," Yang Chen affirmed.

Dao Guangwang inclined his head, "Brother Yang Chen, if Fairy Moon Fu truly falls under the Netherworld forces' sway, wouldn't alerting the Grand Abyss Palace put her at risk?"

"That shouldn't occur. The Grand Abyss Palace members remain ignorant of the Heavenly Eye situation. They'd likely just send a handful to depart collectively. The Netherworld beings won't permit passage. As long as nobody exits, the Netherworld side stays unalarmed, keeping Fairy Moon Fu and the others safe."

Hearing this explanation, Dao Guangwang inwardly acknowledged its logic.

"Should we reveal the Heavenly Eye details to them?" Broken River questioned in confusion.

Yang Chen shook his head, "That's your call. I won't meddle."

He harbored grudges against the Grand Abyss Palace, so sharing such info wasn't his style, yet with them aligned against the Netherworld on humanity's behalf, he aimed to limit his disputes to those with Spirit Separation Ancestor and Mo Wanchou alone.

Thus, he left the decision to Broken River and the others—it bore no relevance to him.

"Very well, we'll manage this ourselves." Broken River consented, sensing he couldn't keep relying on Yang Chen to lead.

With the issue settled, the group exchanged a few words before retracing their steps.

During the return journey, Wind Emperor showed great respect to Yang Chen's group and King Ming Cheng's troops, recognizing these two as their final safeguards. Failing to cling to them would leave them vulnerable to swift destruction by the Yin Spirits and Ghost Creatures across the Nine Dragons World.

In this manner, Yang Chen and his allies returned. The Four Powerful Ones had now secured their lodging, where they delved into discussions about Fairy Moon Fu.

"Brother Yang Chen, what's truly happening with Junior Sister Moon Fu?" Broken River pressed.

Yang Chen answered, "These Ghost Kings aim to barter the six captives, Fairy Moon Fu included, for a relic I acquired from the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower. That was their scheme from the start in drawing us to the tower."

"So, what's Brother Yang Chen's decision?" Broken River dabbed at his chilled sweat, dreading that Yang Chen might refuse, though he suspected the outcome.
