The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3322 - 3317: Seeing Fu Xuanbing Again_1

Yet, upon reflection, certain inquiries are best made during the journey itself.

Thinking so, Yang Chen wasted no more time and, given his growing acquaintance with Ming Hu, he straightforwardly inquired, "Fellow Daoist Ming Hu, may I pose a couple of questions regarding your esteemed clan?"

Unsure of Yang Chen's intent, Ming Hu responded with puzzlement, "What is it that Brother Yang Chen wishes to know?"

"It might seem impolite to pose such queries, yet I must still seek answers. I'm curious about the location of a fellow Daoist called Bao Lu from your honorable family," Yang Chen explained.

The mention of Bao Lu caused Ming Hu's slender frame to quiver faintly.

Yang Chen noticed this detail closely, making it clear that Ming Hu held some knowledge concerning Bao Lu.

Rather than replying, Ming Hu countered, "Does Brother Yang Chen know Bao Lu?"

"Indeed, I know Miss Bao Lu well. Our connection stems from shared hardships in the past," Yang Chen replied.

At these words, Ming Hu fell into profound contemplation.

Observing her, Yang Chen remarked, "Is something wrong, Fellow Daoist Ming Hu? Are there hidden matters you can't discuss?"

He sensed more and more that the mystery surrounding Bao Lu's location deepened.

Initially, his query to Heng Ye yielded nothing. Now with Ming Hu, the outcome remained unchanged. This truly stirred discomfort within him.

That was precisely why he had interjected swiftly earlier, aiming to cut off Ming Hu's evasion and stop her from dismissing him lightly.

Still, certain issues can't be sidestepped forever. After a brief silence, Ming Hu regained her composure and smiled lightly, "Regarding other topics Brother Yang Chen may wish to

explore, I could offer some insights. Yet concerning Bao Lu, I possess no knowledge. My long confinement means I'm unaware of her position or her wandering tendencies."

Yang Chen let out a sigh, realizing the truth would be hard to uncover. Nevertheless, her response revealed a few key details to him.

Assuming no unforeseen events occurred, Bao Lu probably belonged to the Ice-fire Phoenix Royal Bloodline. If not, Ming Hu wouldn't have referred to her as "Sir."

While conversing, the group ventured deeper into the subterranean area.

During their path, a vast array of Ice-fire Phoenix Clan individuals came into view.

Numerous Sky Phoenixes appeared, though their cultivation bases stayed relatively low. Furthermore, despite being Sky Phoenixes, their forms varied. Ming Hu explained that many possessed diluted bloodlines, unable to wield the full Ice and Fire Divine Power of the Ice-fire Sky Phoenix. They managed only one aspect, either ice or fire.

Others lacked even those elemental abilities. These bottom-tier members of the Ice-fire Phoenix Clan held the least prestige inside the group.

The purer the Ice-fire Phoenix bloodline, the more legitimate it became, allowing greater mastery over both ice and fire divine powers.

Amid their discussion, a handful of prominent Sky Phoenixes halted in front.

"Esteemed seniors, Sir, here lies the White Flag Palace. Our clan's mighty warriors have assembled within," announced several Nirvana Stage Sky Phoenixes with deep respect.

Ming Hu responded, "You've labored much. Feel free to depart now!"

The Sky Phoenix clansmen departed without delay, showing no reluctance.

Ming Hu promptly guided the others inside the White Flag Palace. As they stepped in, multiple gazes locked onto them.

"Look, it's Ming Hu and Ling Fei!"

"Haha, Ming Hu and Ling Fei have truly been saved. Could Xuan Feng be the one behind it?"

"Hahaha, wonderful news!"

The assembled Sky Phoenixes burst into delight upon spotting Ming Hu and Ling Fei.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen stepped into the hall and scanned the surroundings. This action soon brought several recognizable presences into his spiritual sense.

Yang Chen gave a subtle shake of his head, aware that events would unfold exactly like this. And so they had.

As expected, Fu Xuanbing, Heng Ye, and Hu Kui stood among the crowd. The so-called second group from Earth Spirit Hall turned out to be led by Fu Xuanbing himself.

The moment Yang Chen spotted Fu Xuanbing, the latter noticed him as well.

Their eyes met, and Fu Xuanbing radiated chilliness while letting out a mocking snort.

Concurrently, the influential Sky Phoenixes wrapped up their greetings and, grinning, presented Yue Xingzhenren's followers, "Ming Hu, Ling Fei, your safe return is a boon. It bolsters our clan's fighting strength. On that note, allow me to present these individuals. They are the elite under Daoist Friend Yue Xingzhenren's banner, figures you're surely familiar with."

"Of course, we recognize them. The elites serving Daoist Friend Yue Xingzhenren are all celebrated powerhouses," Ming Hu and Ling Fei replied smilingly.

Flattered by these words, Yue Xingzhenren's elites rose promptly, clasping hands in salute.

Right after, the Sky Phoenix elites turned to Fu Xuanbing, their demeanor shifting once more. The deference they displayed toward him surpassed even that given to Yue Xingzhenren's group earlier, underscoring the high regard they held for Fu Xuanbing.

"Now, as for this individual, Ming Hu, perhaps his name hasn't reached your ears. But once described, you'll grasp his formidable prowess. This Daoist Friend is Fu Xuanbing, a top merit earner in Earth Spirit Hall. His cultivation touches the peak of the Heaven-separated Realm, marking him as exceptional. Above all, he's featured on the Blue Arrest Warrant, counting among the Netherworld's most pursued fugitives," one Sky Phoenix declared.

"A Blue Arrest Warrant!" Ming Hu gasped in shock.

As the introduction concluded, Fu Xuanbing stroked his chin, lips curling upward in smug satisfaction. Truly, few in the Netherworld matched his status on the Blue Arrest Warrant.

"Fellow Daoist Fu earned a spot on the Blue Arrest Warrant before peaking in the Heaven-separated Realm, showcasing your remarkable might. We trust you'll support our clan's endeavors moving forward," Ming Hu stated.

Fu Xuanbing replied coolly, "Count on it!"

Yang Chen, hearing of the Blue Arrest Warrant, felt genuine astonishment. He held zero familiarity with such a warrant.

Nor did he understand the relative gravity of blue versus red ones, though he yearned to inquire, unsure how to broach it.

Similarly, Xuan Feng and his allies likely remained ignorant of his own Red Arrest Warrant. After all, they hadn't overheard the exchange during that prior clash, which made sense.

Ming Hu engaged Fu Xuanbing in a cordial exchange.

It was only when the Sky Phoenix elites glanced at Yang Chen that they inquired, "By the way, Daoist Friend Ming Hu, who might this Daoist Friend be?"

"Oh, I nearly overlooked mentioning him. This is Daoist Friend Yang Chen. In fact, my rescue this time owes much to Brother Yang Chen in the end. His power stands out remarkably. Fellow Daoist Fu, all of you, coming from Earth Spirit Hall as you do, you ought to recognize him well," Ming Hu chuckled.

Yue Xingzhenren's followers, unfamiliar with Yang Chen, offered no comment. Yet Fu Xuanbing's subordinates stayed mute, aware of the grudge between their leader and Yang Chen.

The air grew tense as a result. Moments later, Fu Xuanbing at last sneered.
