The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3282 - 3277: Arriving at the Earth Spirit Hall_1

The four residents of the Cave Mansion showed rather unfavorable dispositions. Confronted by the severe statements, they displayed clear opposition and aversion to Yang Chen's desire to settle into their Cave Mansion.

Mo Wenfeng had clearly foreseen such a response, so he offered warm apologies and gentle coaxing for some time, ultimately settling the tempers of the remaining trio.

Yet, a cultivator named Lu remained evidently unhappy. Despite Mo Wenfeng's numerous kind words, the man's demeanor showed little improvement.

"Ridiculous, Brother Mo, this Cave Mansion is where the five of us live. You brought someone here without asking for our opinions. Do you even care about us four?" The man surnamed Lu twirled his mustache, his tone frosty and unyielding.

At these words, Mo Wenfeng's brows knitted together. He hadn't anticipated such sharp confrontation, but with Yang Chen already in tow, he felt compelled to defend him.

"Brother Lu Tao, since I've already brought him here, please show some leniency." Mo Wenfeng urged.

Lu Tao let out a cold snort. "Ridiculous, since you brought him here without asking us, why should we care about your face? Either you take him away, or, Brother Mo, you leave with him."

Mo Wenfeng's expression hardened, his irritation barely concealed. Still, aware that escalating the matter would be his own misstep, he chose to remain diplomatic.

He parted his lips subtly and conveyed a private message to Lu Tao via sound transmission.

Lu Tao's face softened slightly as he received the transmitted words.

Mo Wenfeng quickly added, "Brother Lu, please be accommodating."

The other three remained unaware of the subtle exchange, but Yang Chen's keen gaze caught Mo Wenfeng secretly sending something to Lu Tao, which eased the latter's tension: "Fine, just this once, and not again. However!"

Mo Wenfeng inquired with confusion, "What advice does Brother Lu Tao have?"

He aimed simply to placate Lu Tao at the moment, since the others posed less of a challenge.

"However, our Cave Mansion’s space is not big enough. I won’t give up my space anyway. There is only a narrow corner left. If he is willing to squeeze in there, then let him stay. If not, there is nothing I can do." Lu Tao stated flatly.

These words made Mo Wenfeng's countenance grow grave.

What exactly had he whispered to Lu Tao through transmission?

He had vowed to hand over one of the elixirs from Yang Chen to Lu Tao in secret. Yet, Lu Tao proved greedy still. Though he consented, he refused to welcome Yang Chen as a true guest.

Would such a cramped nook even fit a person? It seemed barely sufficient for sitting in cultivation, let alone any movement.

Even without being Yang Chen, no one could endure it.

Nevertheless, Yang Chen stayed composed and detached. Noticing Mo Wenfeng's distress, he grinned and remarked, "It doesn’t matter if it’s a small space, I don’t mind."

Relieved by this, Mo Wenfeng replied, "Alright, that’s good. Brother Yang Chen may not be familiar with the Earth Spirit Hall, so when we set off the next day, I’ll lead the way for you."

Guilt gnawed at Mo Wenfeng inwardly. He had accepted Yang Chen's elixir, after all, yet failed to secure decent lodging for him. To atone, he resolved to guide Yang Chen to the Earth Spirit Hall come morning.

Yang Chen smiled back. "No problem, thank you, Brother Mo."

He held modest expectations for his dwelling. Though the tight corner allowed only for seated cultivation, it sufficed for his needs.

With no intention of lingering long, he sought merely a quiet spot shielded from alien race intrusions.

Next, he would visit the Earth Spirit Hall to grasp merit details, then launch his scheme to rise as a 'Protector Emperor Lord.'

Of course, despite claiming indifference, he wouldn't overlook the contempt directed his way.

As these thoughts swirled, Yang Chen settled into the corner and commenced silent cultivation.

Witnessing this, Mo Wenfeng's remorse deepened, prompting him to yield part of his own area, allowing Yang Chen space for more than just practice.

Thus, they dwelled in the Cave Mansion for another pair of days.

After merely two days, Yang Chen rose, ready to journey to the Earth Spirit Hall alongside Mo Wenfeng.

But the moment they stood, Lu Tao and the others shared knowing looks, after which Lu Tao announced, "Brother Mo, we just received some news. There has been some trouble at Haiyuan Star, and it seems that they need our help. We have been observing Haiyuan Star for a long time, and the danger level is not high. Although the Jiyu Essence rewarded isn’t much, it’s quite suitable for us. Brother Mo, you wait for us in the Earth Spirit Hall. When the time comes, the five of us will complete this mission together."

The mention of 'Haiyuan Star' lit up Mo Wenfeng's eyes. He had monitored it closely for ages and felt elation at the update. "Finally, it’s our turn to act in Haiyuan Star. But... "

Mo Wenfeng paused briefly before continuing, "Brother Lu, since Brother Yang Chen has also joined our Cave Mansion, why don’t the six of us take on this mission together?"

"This... it’s not very appropriate, is it?" Lu Tao's brow creased.

He harbored suspicions toward Yang Chen, especially as a novice with scant knowledge of the Ancient Divine Realm—what skills could such a one possess?

Through their extended time in the Ancient Divine Realm, they had witnessed myriad souls. Countless Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses, famed beyond these borders, had fallen here without surprise.

Lacking unique abilities, survival proved fleeting.

Lu Tao rubbed his chin thoughtfully, evidently nursing grudges against Yang Chen. "Brother Yang Chen might have his own plans, right?"

Yang Chen perceived that Lu Tao and his companions had no wish to include him. Only Mo Wenfeng showed concern, evoking a touch of appreciation in him.

Though Mo Wenfeng's earnestness arose partly from glimpsing Yang Chen's prowess, it revealed the man's genuine nature too.

"That’s right, I have my own plans. I won’t interfere with the good fortune of the five of you," said Yang Chen.

Mo Wenfeng inwardly fumed. If Lu Tao only realized, Yang Chen's presence would boost them immensely.

Even should Yang Chen falter elsewhere, his slaying of Fan Tian that day stood proven. With his battle might beside them, the group faced no threats.

Yet it was too late to press, so he simply stated, "Alright, Brother Yang Chen, let’s go."

Exchanging no further words, Yang Chen departed with Mo Wenfeng toward the Earth Spirit Hall.

Owing to their cautious pace, the duo required a full day to arrive at the Earth Spirit Hall.

The vast Earth Spirit Hall took shape like the jaws of a massive beast. This soaring creature exuded awe-inspiring grandeur, its twin colossal horns rising like lethal blades to confront all who approached.
