The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3336 - 3331: Fu Xuanbing’s Embarrassment Turns to Anger_1

Ming Hu took in his words and revealed a wry smile across her features, "Yes, viewing it this way, everything unfolded exactly as Brother Yang Chen predicted. Our moves were overly impulsive. Had we held back from rushing ahead like Brother Yang Chen suggested then, the results might have differed."

In a calm tone, Yang Chen responded, "Ming Hu, there's no need for self-reproach, since it wasn't a decision you made solo. Let it rest; this isn't the moment to go over it. I came solely to caution you against impulsive self-destructive urges. I'll pull you out later."

Upon hearing that, Ming Hu experienced a mix of appreciation and remorse.

In her mind, she reflected on her first meeting with Yang Chen and the solid faith she held in him. It wasn't until afterward that mistrust crept in, spurred by skepticism from her fellow clan members.

This led to her growing frustrated with Yang Chen when he declined to join their group. Reflecting on it, she now felt deep shame and embarrassment.

Had Yang Chen agreed to team up with them, would they find themselves in this mess today?

As these thoughts swirled, Ming Hu still worried for her clansmen and inquired, "And the rest?"

"We'll discuss the others afterward," Yang Chen replied with a shrug, displaying zero interest in their rescue.

He was simply fulfilling an obligation. When he later freed Yue Xingzhenren, given her long imprisonment, she might lack the full power of her prime and become a liability. Flee first, then handle the rest?

Given his capabilities, it was feasible. Yet it demanded significant exertion, and with no true ties to these folks plus their prior hostility, Yang Chen saw no point in such unrewarded labor.

Ming Hu grasped Yang Chen's stance, though she held no power to sway him.

Sensing their exchange had wrapped up, Yang Chen offered no further words and prepared to vanish in a flash.

Yet right before departing, an unexpected voice cut into their dialogue.

"Hold on."

At that sound, Yang Chen's ears perked sharply, his demeanor turning icy, as the speaker was Fu Xuanbing.

"Fu Xuanbing?" Yang Chen expressed real astonishment. He knew Fu Xuanbing was held nearby Ming Hu, but hadn't anticipated him catching their talk.

In fact, Fu Xuanbing proved clever. He stayed in the backup line with Qian Li and others, dodging severe harm. He regained consciousness swiftly.

This contrasted sharply with the frontline ordeal Ming Hu and her group endured, battling to exhaustion with little energy remaining.

Being so close, it made sense for Fu Xuanbing to pick up on things.

"What is it you wish to say?" Yang Chen questioned.

"Yang Chen, it feels uneven to rescue just one. Since you've arrived, you should aid my people and me too," Fu Xuanbing stated coldly.

Yang Chen let out a mocking laugh, "Fu Xuanbing, have you got it wrong? What motive do I have to help someone who once tried to attack me?"

Fu Xuanbing hesitated at those words, then bellowed in fury, "Yang Chen, remember you're part of the Earth Spirit Hall."

"If you truly got that, Fu Xuanbing, you wouldn't have kept pressuring me," Yang Chen replied evenly.

Speechless, Fu Xuanbing could only snarl, "You!"

Yang Chen's expression stayed blank as he declared, "You're correct, Fu Xuanbing; I do belong to the Earth Spirit Hall. That's why I have no interest in dealing with you. Still, it doesn't mean I'm without limits. Sort out your own issues." With that, he spun and departed without pause.

Fu Xuanbing's cheeks burned red with rage, seething.

Meanwhile, Hu Kui sent an urgent mental message, "Daoist Fu, what did Yang Chen decide?"

"He refused to rescue us," Fu Xuanbing snapped in anger.

Despair flickered in Hu Kui's gaze. At first, learning from Fu Xuanbing that Yang Chen lurked below had sparked joy and hope for salvation.

But upon realizing Yang Chen's refusal, hopelessness engulfed them.

In retrospect, Hu Kui lamented his idiotic choice to oppose Yang Chen and side with Fu Xuanbing. He even loathed his past belief that aligning with Fu Xuanbing was wise.

How could he have erred so gravely?

A touch of courtesy toward Yang Chen then might have altered their fate.

As Hu Kui inwardly rued his choices, Fu Xuanbing fumed intensely. He yelled, "Yang Chen, if you wish me dead, we'll all perish together!"

With those words, he erupted in manic laughter and summoned, "Fellow Ghost Kings, gather round. I have matters to confer with you!"

…

Yang Chen remained oblivious to Fu Xuanbing's spiteful ploy born of fury.

His plan involved harnessing space-time forces to reach the array confining Yue Xingzhenren. Now, the Netherworld Ghosts, fresh from triumph, had eased their vigilance in celebration.

For him, infiltration proved simpler than before.

The instant the idea formed, Yang Chen slipped into the formation's heart.

Though he rationally knew these mighty entities wouldn't return and the Four-direction Ghost Kings couldn't show here again, Yang Chen stayed wary of potential surprises.

Yet as anticipated, the Four-direction Ghost Kings never foresaw him creeping in post-Fu Xuanbing.

Yang Chen now stood at the formation's core, spotting an elderly figure in the midst, encased thickly in spider threads like a cocoon.

The elder's robes hung in shreds, his state utterly pitiable, as if on the verge of collapse.

Yang Chen required scant deduction to identify the man.

It had to be Yue Xingzhenren.

"Senior Yue Xing, do you catch my words?" Yang Chen called out.

He detected the Qi flowing from Yue Xingzhenren's form.

Even a trace marked it as belonging to a Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouse.

True to Yang Chen's foresight, Yue Xingzhenren's eyes fluttered open at the voice, fixing on him.

"Eh? Weren't all of you locked away moments ago? How is another from our human race here..." Yue Xingzhenren showed clear shock, then chuckled in resignation, "You all schemed wisely, dividing into three teams. It worked out decently, tricking the Four-direction Ghost Kings at least. It's unfortunate that..."
