The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3337 - 3332: Discovered?_1

Yang Chen inquired with puzzlement, "What do you mean by 'unfortunately'?"

Yue Xing Zhen Ren let out a heavy sigh, "It's simply regrettable that despite the tremendous efforts you all have made to rescue me and the sacrifices involved, my personal power cannot provide you with substantial advantages in relation to the Jiyu Essence."

A smile crept onto Yang Chen's face as he noticed the helplessness reflected in Yue Xing Zhen Ren's gaze.

This reaction was entirely expected.

Yue Xing Zhen Ren possessed formidable strength, yet he remained merely a Heaven-appointed Realm cultivator at heart. Confronting the trio of Heaven-appointed Realm cultivators from the Ice and Fire Star, rescuing him was undoubtedly justified. However, it appeared as though their actions squandered valuable resources, and they had selected an unwise target for their endeavors.

Upon catching Yue Xing Zhen Ren's sigh, Yang Chen grinned and responded, "Senior Yue Xing, you may have gotten the wrong idea. To begin with, Junior and the individuals from earlier aren't part of the same faction. Our strategies and objectives differ entirely. Moreover, I saved Senior Yue Xing to aid the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix Sect and protect the Ice and Fire Star. My primary aim is to bolster my own fighting abilities. Regarding the Jiyu Essence, I haven't given it extensive consideration as of yet."

Yue Xing Zhen Ren froze for a moment upon hearing this, "Are you saying that you and those people from moments ago aren't allies?"

"That's correct, in a strict sense. That said, I do belong to the Earth Spirit Hall, though as a loose cultivator. So, seniors can feel at ease." Yang Chen explained.

Only then did realization dawn on Yue Xing Zhen Ren, and he drew in a deep breath, "Young fellow, managing to reach this place by yourself is truly impressive. I must praise your intelligence and bravery. May I know your name?"

"I am Yang Chen," Yang Chen answered.

...

By now, Fu Xuanbing had summoned the two Ghost Kings responsible for watching over the cultivators.

These two Ghost Kings, tasked with overseeing the group of cultivators, were evidently displeased. While everyone else attended the celebratory feast, they were stuck guarding the spot; such a situation would irritate anyone.

Due to this frustration, the two Ghost Kings demanded roughly, "What is it? Why all the commotion?"

"Two Ghost Kings, I have a matter to discuss with you," Fu Xuanbing stated, his face twisted in irritation and frenzy.

He was always this way; if others denied him enjoyment, he would ensure they suffered as well, regardless of the consequences or the underhanded tactics employed.

The two Ghost Kings eyed him with narrowed gazes, "Brat, what exactly are you trying to say? I suggest you avoid any schemes. If not, we'll make you regret ever being born through endless torment."

Fu Xuanbing's lips twitched faintly before he silently conveyed the intelligence about Yang Chen's presence, detailing every aspect to the two Ghost Kings.

"What? Are you claiming that someone sneaked in here undetected?"

"Cultivators are present in this area?"

The two Ghost Kings stood stunned, struggling to accept the veracity of Fu Xuanbing's words.

"Is this the truth? Turning against your own people like this makes me suspect you're fabricating it!"

Clearly, the two Ghost Kings harbored doubts and weren't quick to believe Fu Xuanbing.

A sinister smile spread across Fu Xuanbing's face, "Hehe, since this human refuses to rescue me, why should I allow him an easy escape? You two can be assured; he won't venture far. Take your time to hunt him down. He didn't come here without purpose."

At these words, suspicion flickered in the two Ghost Kings' eyes. Though they saw no obvious motive for Fu Xuanbing's actions, it was wiser to err on the side of caution. Informing superiors about such a report was the prudent choice.

"You head over to notify Master Four Directions; I'll stay here to watch over things," one of the Ghost Kings instructed.

"Understood," the other Ghost King replied promptly before departing to deliver the news.

...

In the meantime, Yang Chen continued his discussion with Yue Xing Zhen Ren.

Although Yang Chen yearned to rescue Yue Xing Zhen Ren swiftly given the pressing time constraints, Yue Xing Zhen Ren sighed deeply, "Yang Chen, my young friend, there's no reason to be so determined about freeing me. Forget whether you can dismantle this array alone or if you'll draw the notice of the Four-direction Ghost Kings. Even supposing you succeed in my rescue, you'll merely step into the snare laid by the Three Great Destiny Realm Ghost Kings. They confined me and subjected me to agonizing torture, even implanting deadly toxins within my body. My form is now full of scars, and should you save me, I'd merely become a burden. It's not a worthwhile gamble for you."

Yang Chen found himself respecting Yue Xing Zhen Ren even more. Apart from his straightforwardness, Yue Xing Zhen Ren had openly shared all the details without reservation.

Were it a more sly individual, they would recognize that disclosing such vulnerabilities could deter potential saviors and thus withhold any personal disclosures.

Yang Chen chuckled heartily, "Senior Yue Xing, don't lose heart. I get where you're coming from. Fortunately, I'm also versed in medicine, so I could potentially address your wounds."

"What? You're proficient in the art of Pill Doctors as well?" Yue Xing Zhen Ren exclaimed in astonishment.

With hands clasped behind his back, Yang Chen nodded affirmatively.

This revelation both astonished and elated Yue Xing Zhen Ren, prompting him to laugh, "That's wonderful, Brother Yang Chen. Should you truly manage to free me and heal my afflictions, I'll be indebted to you for my life. I'd gladly charge into battle at your side without a second thought, even unto death."

Sensing the genuine resolve in Yue Xing Zhen Ren, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a twinge of uncertainty. He recognized that individuals like Yue Xing Zhen Ren were indeed capable of such loyalty.

"We'll handle future matters when they arise; time is of the essence. I'll extract Senior first." Yang Chen declared.

"My thanks." Yue Xing Zhen Ren nodded in agreement.

The array was indeed intricate and enigmatic, yet to Yang Chen and his Hand of Space-time, it posed no challenge.

With a casual step forward, a blue pattern rapidly unfurled.

As the blue pattern expanded in that instant, Yue Xing Zhen Ren sensed himself being wrapped in an overwhelming force.

He had wondered precisely how Yang Chen intended to liberate him, but before his mind could process it fully, a haze clouded his sight, and he discovered himself beyond the array's confines.

Such an arcane and masterful technique left even Yue Xing Zhen Ren somewhat bewildered.

What had transpired exactly? How had his rescue been accomplished?

The edges of Yang Chen's mouth lifted slightly; having liberated Yue Xing Zhen Ren, his objective had been fulfilled successfully.

For Yang Chen himself, employing space-time to draw Yue Xing Zhen Ren out of the array required no great exertion.

The array had been crafted to be impenetrable and labyrinthine. Not even a premier array specialist could unravel it without years of labor. Yet, it had the misfortune to face Yang Chen, an anomaly that bent all logic. He bypassed it entirely with space-time extraction, in a manner both domineering and absolute.

"Senior, I realize you have numerous queries, but for now, it's wisest that we depart immediately." Yang Chen advised.

Aware of the urgency, Yue Xing Zhen Ren nodded and readied himself to flee alongside Yang Chen.

Yet, right as they prepared to make their escape, a surge of potent Qi descended abruptly, causing both to knit their brows in tension.
