The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1316 - Chapter 1316 Chapter 1313 The Ins and Outs_1

Chapter 1316: Chapter 1313: The Ins and Outs_1 Chapter 1316: Chapter 1313: The Ins and Outs_1 Fu Yueying looked pained, but she was the first to recover. She quickly said, “Everyone, casualties are inevitable. We can attribute our successful escape to Yang Chen’s help. Without Yang Chen, I’m afraid the loss of Zhu Lan and Qing Zi would not have been our only problem. We of Taqing Peak must remember this kindness from Yang Chen!”

“Thank you, Young Master Yang Chen!”

“Yang Chen, thank you.”

Only then did the elder disciples of Taqing Peak realize that Yang Chen had risked his life to save them, but they hadn’t even said thank you yet. It was completely inappropriate in terms of both reason and morality.

They were genuinely thankful – not for any other reason, but because Yang Chen, despite being at the Fourth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm, had appeared to save them even though he might not have been discovered by the Ink Wolf Beast if he had stayed hidden. This showed that Yang Chen valued loyalty and was not something that Yuan Cheng could compare to.

Yang Chen was thanked by these elder disciples of Taqing Peak and couldn’t help but smile. “Seniors and sisters, you’re too polite. As a disciple of the Northern Territory Sect, it is my duty to help you. There’s no way I could stand idly by.”

“If only some people could be as righteous as you, Yang Chen.” An elder from Taqing Peak said sarcastically.

Without a question, they all knew who it was referring to.

Yuan Cheng wanted to argue but couldn’t. He could only blush and not know what to say.

Yang Chen smiled faintly without the intention of rubbing salt in the wound. Looking at Fu Yueying, he said, “Sister Fu, I have a question for you as a junior.”

“Yang Chen, just tell me if you have any questions.” Fu Yueying’s eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Yang Chen with great affection.

Not only her, but the entire Taqing Peak’s impression of Yang Chen had greatly improved by now. In the beginning, they did not believe the prevailing rumors, thinking that they might be exaggerated. They guessed that Yang Chen might be just another Yuan Cheng, but it seemed that they had misunderstood Yang Chen.

Yang Chen calmly asked, “Junior, I would like to know the details of how the elder sisters and elders were attacked by the Ink Wolf Beast!”

Hearing this, Fu Yueying sighed softly, “Well, there isn’t much to tell. We followed the instructions of our ancestor and finally found this valley. We were preparing to enter the next mountain range when we encountered the Ink Wolf Beast Clan. It seemed that the Ink Wolf Beast Clan was waiting to ambush us there. With only our Taqing Peak sect being so weak, we couldn’t even resist the Ink Wolf Beast Clan, let alone the full force of the Cloud Tiger Peak. Moreover, the Ink Wolf Beast Clan ambushed us in our weakest moments, so naturally, those who were injured got hurt, and those who could escape did, resulting in our current situation.”

“I see.” Yang Chen sighed.

With this, he was more or less assured. It seemed that the Ink Wolf Beast’s plan was indeed to obstruct people from entering this mountain range secretly.

But whether he said it or not wasn’t important now. He had to ask, “How did you seniors manage to mix up with some people from Cloud Tiger Peak, and Yuan Cheng here…”

After all, Taqing Peak had left separately at the beginning.

“This is a long story. In fact, the four peaks had already merged together before entering the mountain range,” Fu Yueying said.

“Oh?” Yang Chen was puzzled.

“Since we couldn’t find the next mountain range designated by our ancestor in time, the four peaks had no choice but to issue signals and gather together,” Fu Yueying explained.

“Then what about the people from Changlin Peak…” Yang Chen was still puzzled.

Fu Yueying smiled and said, “Yang Chen, my friend, don’t worry, everyone from Changlin Peak is safe. Moreover, Wang Tong is still very concerned about you. He has been restless since he couldn’t find you, constantly grumbling about it!”

Yang Chen felt a warmth in his heart. Although he knew that Wang Tong could not find him mostly because he feared the punishment of the Hua Wu Great Emperor, he was still very touched.

“By the way, Yang Chen, how did you end up in the depths of that mountain range?” Fu Yueying asked. “I heard from Wang Tong that you encountered the royal family and had to flee in all directions. Wang Tong and the others were only chased for half the time before the pursuers, for unknown reasons, turned around and left, which allowed them to escape. Yang Chen, how did you end up in the depths of that mountain range?”

Although she didn’t explicitly state it, her words implied her meaning.

It was already a miracle that Yang Chen, with his Martial Arts Cultivation, could have escaped unscathed from the Royal Family that day. But now, he had emerged from the depths of the mountain range, a place they had barely managed to find after much effort.

Yang Chen coughed twice and said, “The matter is somewhat complicated, Sister Fu, let’s talk about your situation first.”

The reason Wang Tong and the others were able to escape that day was due to the pursuers turning back.

But why did those pursuers turn around? Wasn’t it because he had killed four powerful Peak of Heaven Martial Realm fighters? The royal family could not sit idly by, after all, the four Peak of Heaven Martial Realm fighters were not a small combat force.

However, he couldn’t tell them about these matters, so he had to gloss over them and not elaborate.

Even if Fu Yueying’s mind was dull, she could guess that Yang Chen must have some secrets. But that was quite normal; every outstanding person had secrets. Since Yang Chen didn’t want to mention that past incident, how could she dig deeper? She simply nodded her head and didn’t ask any further.

After a moment’s thought, Yang Chen asked, “By the way, since everyone had already merged at that time, why did you split up again?”

“At that time, we planned to split into two groups to search for the depths of the mountain range. We don’t know if we were lucky or unlucky, but we found the place first. However, the fog there was exceptionally thick, and our signals couldn’t be sent out or received by others. So, we entered first,” Fu Yueying explained.

“I see…” Having understood the ins and outs, Yang Chen touched his chin and said, “By the way, since we have already left that mountain range, and the ancestor’s intention was for us to venture deep into this mountain range, I wonder if Sister Fu plans to go back in again or has other intentions…”

Fu Yueying did not answer hastily, but her bright eyes rested on Yang Chen. After blinking a few times, she asked, “Yang Chen, you seem to have been in the depths of those mountains for quite a while. You must know a lot more about the situation inside than we do. Why don’t you analyze whether it’s better to stay or go?”

Yang Chen was caught off guard by Fu Yueying’s question. He was now responsible for the decision, which was full of surprises.

He laughed helplessly and had to admit that Fu Yueying had a very clever mind.

However, as Fu Yueying said, he knew more about the situation than anyone else, so he couldn’t shirk responsibility. He said, “Everyone, there are many Dao Slaves in the depths of that mountain range, and their numbers are at least two or three times higher than those in the outside world. This is no exaggeration.”

“What? That many?” Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
