The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3264 - 3259: Not Pursuing the Matter_1

Upon observing this, Yang Chen nodded with composure: "Excellent, Willow Stain. Starting today, you become my inaugural disciple under Yang Chen. Going forward, I shall instruct you with utter devotion. I trust you'll cultivate with utmost diligence, uphold strict discipline, and shun any laziness. Stay true to your initial resolve, or else don't fault me for expelling you from my sect."

Willow Stain replied with deep respect, "This disciple will bear it in mind."

Witnessing the moment, Willow Feng felt a surge of delight and astonishment. For his offspring to enter the esteemed Three Great Factions was a matter of immense prestige.

He had long harbored dreams of forging ties with the Three Great Factions, yet fate had always denied him that chance.

At present, the assembled powerhouses, upon seeing Yang Chen accept Willow Stain as his disciple, were caught off guard despite their varied expectations.

After all, Willow Stain's aptitude didn't strike them as particularly outstanding.

Still, they recognized this wasn't their affair to meddle in, so they held back from further inquiries. Broken River rose first, chuckling heartily, "My felicitations to Brother Yang Chen on acquiring such a promising disciple right here, hahaha. Since this old fellow witnessed it, I can't depart without offering something. With this young one's power still modest, I'll present him a King Divine Tool."

"This is too generous," Yang Chen protested modestly.

"Haha, Brother Yang Chen, no need for such formality with me. We're allies in battle, after all. These modest tokens show our regard. I only hope Brother Yang Chen won't take offense." Broken River responded warmly.

"Offense? Never," Yang Chen ceased his refusals, "Willow Stain, this senior's offering is yours—hurry and express your thanks."

Willow Stain bowed promptly and voiced his gratitude, receiving the present.

With Broken River setting the example by bestowing a gift, the remaining powerhouses followed suit, generously handing over their own contributions to Willow Stain.

This left Willow Stain somewhat overwhelmed and bewildered. He had never dreamed of gaining such an abundance of presents simply for aligning with Yang Chen.

Willow Feng stood nearby, utterly stunned and filled with awe.

He understood the nuances of social graces all too well. These powerhouses claimed to gift Willow Stain out of fondness, yet if that were true, they would have claimed him as a disciple ages ago.

The true motive behind it all stemmed from Yang Chen himself.

To inspire these mighty figures to eagerly offer gifts and seek alliances, just who was this Yang Chen? Willow Feng conceded that no other individual could compel such actions from them.

Though the presents held no extraordinary worth, the gesture of initiating bonds proved the hardest concession for such powerhouses to make.

Once the offerings were received, Broken River declared, "Brother Yang Chen, with affairs mostly settled, it's time we pick a moment to depart."

Yang Chen addressed him, "Willow family head, I'll depart with Willow Stain shortly. Any issues with that?"

Willow Feng harbored no such reservations; in fact, he eagerly anticipated it.

"Lord Yang Chen, I raise no objections at all. Willow Stain, once you're with Lord Yang Chen, cultivate with relentless effort and avoid bringing any discredit upon him. Got it?" Willow Feng instructed.

Willow Stain nodded with firm resolve.

Yang Chen grinned, "Willow Stain, return home and make preparations—we leave in three days."

Willow Stain assented without delay.

The other powerhouses pondered how Willow Stain had earned such fortune, drawing Yang Chen's attention. Had they possessed similar luck, their numerous descendants could have seized the chance to join Yang Chen's fold, a tremendous boon.

In a flash, the three days slipped by.

On the third day, Yang Chen guided Willow Stain, alongside the numerous powerhouses from Heavenly Melody Mountain, out of the Nine Dragons World, heading back to Heavenly Melody Mountain for their report.

By the time they arrived, a full month had elapsed, and the collective return of these mighty individuals prompted a swift gathering of servants to welcome them.

These attendants boasted at least Nirvana stage cultivation, with some even attaining Mahayana stage. Willow Stain's eyes widened in disbelief, struggling to fathom that Mahayana stage experts served merely as attendants in Heavenly Melody Mountain.

"Brother Yang Chen, linger here briefly while we report inside." Broken River beamed, "We'll also intercede with Absolute Yi Daozu on your behalf."

Yang Chen cupped his hands, "Yang Mou stands grateful and offers thanks in advance."

"Politeness is unnecessary—it's a small matter," the Heavenly Melody Mountain powerhouses replied with smiles.

After the group of powerhouses departed, Yang Chen and Willow Stain remained, waiting in quiet anticipation.

This pause lasted merely a few days before figures returned, though only Broken River appeared this time.

Broken River now grinned with affable warmth, "Brother Yang Chen, Absolute Yi Daozu summons you."

Yang Chen's face lit with joy as he inquired, "Any headway on the issue?"

Broken River chuckled, stroking his beard, "Brother Yang Chen, you owe Junior Sister Moon Orchid profound gratitude."

At those words, Yang Chen grasped the situation. He instructed Willow Stain to stay put, then accompanied Broken River to Absolute Yi Daozu's domain.

As they approached once more, apprehension stirred in Yang Chen's chest. Yet the instant he beheld Absolute Yi Daozu, relief washed over him.

Unlike their prior encounter, Absolute Yi Daozu's demeanor had noticeably mellowed.

"Junior offers respects to Daozu!"

"Respects to Elder Absolute Yi!"

Yang Chen and Broken River intoned together.

In the midst of their obeisance, Yang Chen caught sight of Fairy Moon Fu attending Absolute Yi Daozu, gently kneading his shoulders and back for comfort.

Spotting Yang Chen, Fairy Moon Fu gave a sly wink, her message unmistakable.

Yang Chen conveyed his appreciation, realizing Fairy Moon Fu had undoubtedly spoken volumes in his favor to Absolute Yi Daozu.

Absolute Yi Daozu regarded Yang Chen with evident esteem, nodding as he savored Fairy Moon Fu's ministrations, "Yang Chen, this venture into the Nine Dragons World yielded astonishing twists beyond my foresight. Without your involvement, even if the task succeeded, it would have fallen into the clutches of those from Grand Abyss Palace. You've rendered invaluable service and preserved my cherished disciple's life."

Yang Chen replied, "Merely fulfilling a junior's duty."

"Good that you recognize your obligations. Your Slaughter God Spear devoured my prized artifact, granting you immense gain. I had no intention of releasing you lightly at first. Yet given your role in safeguarding lives, with their pleas on your behalf and my disciple's prolonged advocacy, I'll overlook the matter of the Slaughter God Spear." Absolute Yi Daozu stated.

Elation surged through Yang Chen as he said, "My deepest thanks, Daozu."

"Gratitude is due to me as well." Fairy Moon Fu flashed a grin.

Yang Chen bowed with clasped hands, "Naturally, thanks to Fairy Moon Fu too."

"No thanks required—just remember our pact." Fairy Moon Fu teased, rubbing her nose.

Yang Chen's expression turned wry at the reminder, then he ventured, "Daozu, regarding my Slaughter God Spear..."
