The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3321 - 3316: Convergence of All Paths_1

Though Ling Fei felt a bit unhappy at Ming Hu's statement, he could only follow her orders in the end.

The Netherworld outpost in that spot got obliterated right away. At the same time, Yang Chen along with his companions slipped away silently, their location unknown to all.

It took just half a day after they left for a band of Netherworld spectral beings to show up at the site.

Leading those Netherworld beings were figures all possessing Heaven-separated Realm cultivation.

Several Ghost King masters at the Heaven-separated Realm arrived on the scene, gazing downward with icy glares full of killing aura.

"From what those few Heavenly Fate Realm specialists believe, it's these Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes causing us trouble. Yet even with their strength, they couldn't possibly wipe out our outpost this thoroughly. Something suspicious must be at play here!"

"Lately, warriors from Earth Spirit Hall have been spotted around. Intel suggests Fu Xuanbing of Earth Spirit Hall is in the area. Stay alert, everyone—this Fu Xuanbing is no easy opponent."

"Ridiculous talk; he's merely got some reputation. If Fu Xuanbing shows up, he'll never make it back alive!"

Once the Netherworld Ghost Kings finished their talk, they uncovered no hints and departed separately.

...

Meanwhile, Yang Chen trailed behind Ming Hu and the Heavenly Phoenixes as they made their way to the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan's base.

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan's base was truly masterfully concealed. Prior to arriving, Yang Chen hadn't imagined such a huge gathering of Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes dwelling in this place.

The base lay beneath the surface.

An enormous space had been hollowed out below ground, protected by a Formation. To outsiders, any soul sense probe into the Formation would detect only barren emptiness, appearing utterly ordinary.

Yang Chen stood just beyond the Formation now.

His soul force probed inside, detecting absolute void.

"This concealing Formation of yours is incredibly tough to spot. Peering from outside, I sense no trace whatsoever of your clan concealed within." Yang Chen remarked with a sigh.

Ming Hu gave a smile and replied, "Our Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan's Formation is a guarded ancestral secret. Thanks to it, we've endured the Netherworld's relentless hunts for ages. Without this Formation, the Netherworld race would have wiped our clan out long ago."

The sorrow in Ming Hu's tone struck Yang Chen, heightening his anxiety over Bao Lu's well-being. He remained uncertain about the perils Bao Lu faced.

During the trip, he avoided straight questions on Bao Lu's status, recalling his earlier query to Heng Ye and the odd response that followed.

Facing Ming Hu this time demanded extra care from him. Therefore, en route, he posed subtle probes instead of direct queries about Bao Lu.

Through these efforts, he gained much insight into the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix and Ice and Fire Star. He realized the chaos across all of Ice and Fire Star exceeded his prior expectations.

While deep in contemplation, a stir arose from the Formation's interior.

Yang Chen glanced that way and watched as a massive rift abruptly split the solid earth, with cautious heads poking out from the resulting hollow.

Yang Chen immediately noted that these formidable figures held cultivations up to Nirvana Stage and Great Stage.

"Lord Ming Hu is here!"

The heads spotted Ming Hu and displayed clear shock before exclaiming with delight, "It's truly Lord Ming Hu! Lord Ming Hu got saved! Hahaha!"

Joy surged through these Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes upon seeing Ming Hu and Ling Fei back unharmed, and they voiced their worries for the pair.

Xuan Feng's status also soared swiftly, thanks to his role in freeing Ming Hu and Ling Fei.

After the greetings wrapped up, the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix warriors shifted their attention to Yang Chen.

"By the way, who is this human cultivator friend..." The powerhouses inquired.

Ling Fei, harboring no fondness for Yang Chen, stayed quiet as expected. Ming Hu grinned and clarified, "He's Yang Chen, hailing from the human race's Earth Spirit Hall."

"From Earth Spirit Hall?" The group showed surprise in unison.

Ming Hu parted her crimson lips faintly, "Any issue with that?"

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix warriors beamed with happiness, "Wonderful news! Lord Ming Hu might be unaware, but right now, two teams of Earth Spirit Hall elites are stationed in our base."

"Two teams?" Ming Hu appeared puzzled.

Yang Chen felt equally astonished, unclear on the circumstances.

The Sky Phoenix warriors explained, "You've been held captive for quite some time, Lord Ming Hu, so you might not realize. Of these two Earth Spirit Hall teams, one follows Yue Xingzhenren's lead. Surely you know Yue Xingzhenren, Lord Ming Hu."

"I know Yue Xingzhenren well—they share strong ties with our clan." Ming Hu let out a sigh.

The Sky Phoenix warriors shook their heads in regret, "Sadly, Yue Xingzhenren clashed solo with multiple Heavenly Fate Realm Ghost Kings to protect our clan and got seized and locked away. We couldn't assist, and Yue Xingzhenren's remaining squad includes numerous Sky Separation Realm experts who had vanished before. Yet just days back, they crossed paths with our patrol and got escorted here."

Delight filled Ming Hu as she chuckled, "Excellent tidings! Yue Xingzhenren's followers are secure—that's a silver lining in this mess. But what of the second team..."

"The other team features another renowned Earth Spirit Hall figure. You might not recognize the name, Lord Ming Hu, but meeting them will shock you. With both Earth Spirit Hall teams now here, our clan's power grows immensely. And adding this Earth Spirit Hall master!" The warriors eyed Yang Chen with high hopes.

Yet Yang Chen merely smiled and shook his head.

As they brought it up, he grasped the ongoing developments better.

Yue Xingzhenren's initial squad was the Heavenly Fate Realm elite group he'd heard of prior to setting out.

Regarding the latter team, barring surprises, it likely involved someone he recognized.

"We keep running into one another." Yang Chen shook his head.

Ming Hu smiled gently, "Brother Yang Chen, you're here from Earth Spirit Hall to aid our Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan too! Once you link up with the other Earth Spirit Hall experts soon, nothing can stop our clan!"

"Outstanding, Lord Ming Hu. With these Heaven-separated Realm elders present, why not visit them right away?" The Sky Phoenix warriors suggested.

"Indeed, that's my plan. Guide us there." Ming Hu responded calmly, then added with a smile, "Brother Yang Chen, join us."

Yang Chen suspected the identity of the other human squad, but dodging them went against his nature. Naturally, he wished to check it out.
