The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3327 - 3322: Yang Chen Makes an Appearance_1

The Insect Mother lingered nearby, her figure radiating seductive charm, yet a flicker of clear impatience danced in her gaze.

Her words appeared casual, yet they carried deliberate intent as she remarked, "Are you two done with your talk?"

Bao Lu responded, "Xingtong, we certainly consent, though the terms stay unchanged from earlier. Should you desire to refine me and achieve your aspiration of reaching the Heaven-appointed Realm, you'll need to pledge a blood oath. Upon stepping into the Heaven-appointed Realm, you must promptly assist our Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix Clan in confronting the spectral yin entities from the Netherworld."

At those words, Xingtong burst into hearty laughter, "Bao Lu, that's no issue at all; you can count on me. I've mentioned it previously—as soon as I ascend to the Heaven-appointed Realm, handling those three Ghost Kings will be effortless. You're familiar with the prowess of our Insect Race. Once I'm in the Heaven-appointed Realm, the insects under my command will likewise attain that level. Even right after my breakthrough, I'd have no fewer than seven Heaven-appointed Realm insects at my disposal; subduing three Netherworld Ghost Kings would pose no challenge whatsoever?"

Bao Lu, of course, recognized the Insect Race's immense power, which was precisely why she had opted for self-sacrifice from the outset.

She understood full well that the Insect Race's might was utterly horrifying, particularly the Insect Mother, whose terror was on another level entirely!

Yang Chen observed from the side, feeling a twinge of astonishment himself.

Though his knowledge of the Insect Race remained limited, the recent exchange had given him a solid grasp of the Insect Mother's daunting capabilities.

Could a Heaven-appointed Insect Mother truly produce more than a dozen insects at the Heaven-appointed Realm? Such a feat was downright astonishing.

This revelation prompted Yang Chen to scrutinize the Insect Mother more closely. Through the Lingxi Divine Pupil, he sharply detected an odd shift in her facial demeanor.

Noting those subtle alterations in her look, Yang Chen arched a brow.

Maybe it proved far from simple for the Insect Mother to commit to aiding Bao Lu. Her current consent struck him as mere superficiality.

Just as Yang Chen suspected, Xingtong appeared to yield with remarkable ease. Yet for a being of her caliber, circumventing the blood oath was a trivial matter.

In essence, existing at the Heaven-separated Realm involved slowly escaping the bonds of the Heavenly Dao, whereas the blood oath relied entirely on that very Heavenly Dao.

For her Insect Race, dodging the Heavenly Dao came even more naturally!

This explained her swift and firm acceptance—she simply aimed to refine Bao Lu upfront. Fulfilling the pact later on wouldn't bind her in the slightest.

At present, Bao Lu fixated on rescuing the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix Clan, her eyes brimming with fervent longing.

Turning to Heng Ye, she urged, "Heng Ye, consent to it."

"Fourth Sister!" Heng Ye gritted his teeth, "How could we trade your life for our clan's endurance!"

"I've wandered far for endless years, absent during our father's passing. That makes me a disobedient daughter. Yet if sacrificing myself secures our clan's tomorrow, I'm ready to embrace it." Bao Lu offered a soft smile as she spoke.

Despite her words, inwardly she yearned to endure and persist.

Survival opened doors to boundless opportunities.

Her path ahead gleamed with promise, alongside a wealth of cherished recollections.

There were still numerous individuals she longed to encounter again.

Yet in this moment, alternatives escaped her. Should her end pave the way for her clan's revival, she bore the obligation to step forward.

Those words sent a shiver through Heng Ye's frame, leaving him to utter only, "Very well!"

Watching Heng Ye yield, Xingtong's lips twisted into a grin, "Heng Ye, you're aware that refining your sister to unlock her complete bloodline essence requires deploying your clan's Blood Phoenix Banner."

Heng Ye affirmed, "The Blood Phoenix Banner is with me."

Xingtong sneered inwardly at that. Heng Ye professed concern for his sister's welfare, but he'd carried the Blood Phoenix Banner along regardless.

This detail revealed that Heng Ye harbored intentions of refining his own sister.

Xingtong chuckled, "Heng Ye, you've made the right decision. Produce the Blood Phoenix Banner, and the ritual can commence."

Hesitation gone, Heng Ye produced the Blood Phoenix Banner without delay.

The sight of it sparked an immediate hunger on Xingtong's features. Briefly, the urge to seize the Blood Phoenix Banner surged within her, though she ultimately restrained it.

Still, the turmoil in her eyes made her thrilled anticipation plain for anyone to witness.

Bao Lu, catching sight of the Blood Phoenix Banner, released a faint sigh.

Spotting Heng Ye with the Blood Phoenix Banner confirmed her clan's abandonment of her.

The earlier assurances from Heng Ye rang hollow, mere formalities.

Harboring that realization, Bao Lu mustered a wry smile and resigned to her destiny.

"Quickly trigger the Blood Phoenix Banner; let's launch the ritual!" Xingtong pressed with evident eagerness.

But right as her statement landed, Xingtong's gaze snapped aside, her senses alerting her keenly, "Who's lurking there?!"

Yang Chen had concealed himself in the shadows, yet Xingtong's detection didn't catch him off guard—he'd deliberately let her spot him.

Once exposed, Yang Chen emerged promptly.

"Who might you be?!" Xingtong squinted at Yang Chen, this Heaven-separated Realm human who had crept near undetected. A hint of astonishment stirred in her, though it failed to trigger any deep-seated caution.

To her, such a human scarcely merited true wariness!

Heng Ye and Bao Lu, upon spotting Yang Chen, felt their eyes widen sharply, nearly crying out together, "Yang Chen!"

"It's you, Yang Chen!"

Heng Ye eyed Yang Chen in shock, pondering how and precisely when he'd trailed him to this spot, and what motives drove his presence.

Bao Lu, meanwhile, reeled from the revelation that the youth she'd once pegged at Boundaryless Cultivation Level now stood here at Heaven-separated Realm.

Yang Chen lingered vividly in her recollections.

She could scarcely imagine that a twist in her fate would hinge so vitally on Yang Chen.

Yet here he was, having arrived.

As Yang Chen stepped into view, he cast a cool glance toward Heng Ye and stated, "Heng Ye, I held some favor toward you once. But it appears you've plotted to abandon Bao Lu ever since I first inquired about her whereabouts."

Indeed, without such intentions of surrender, why feign reluctance?

"You truly let me down!" Yang Chen declared.

With the exchange concluded, Yang Chen's attention shifted to Bao Lu.

Bao Lu's slender form quivered, her mind still reeling from Yang Chen's sudden arrival, her feelings far from settled.

Yang Chen regarded her steadily and remarked plainly, "Miss Bao Lu, we've shared hardships as companions. Before forsaking your life, you ought to inform your ally at least."
