The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1367 - Chapter 1367 Chapter 1363 Survivor_1

Chapter 1367: Chapter 1363: Survivor_1 Chapter 1367: Chapter 1363: Survivor_1 These negative thoughts in his heart made him more and more anxious.

At least when he expanded his soul perception, he couldn’t find any signs of life. The familiar figures of Feng family’s Feng Xuewu, Zhang family’s Zhang Yingruo, and the person he missed–the Gu Mingyue, were not within the range of his soul perception.

There are only three possibilities.

First, the people of Da Huang have all been slaughtered by the demonic beasts, so it is normal for him not to find anyone.

Second, the people he wanted to find were indeed not within the range of his soul perception and were in other locations.

Third, these people were all controlled by the demonic beasts, their True Qi had been sealed, and their Qi was unable to disperse. Moreover, there were restrictions, such as formation arrays, which made his soul perception unable to find them quickly. Only through careful searching, he might be able to find them.

Almost instinctively, Yang Chen felt that the people of Da Huang were all dead. After all, the tragedy that had befallen the Jin family made him think about the worst possibilities.

However, he would never give up any hope, even if it was just a tiny bit.

What if the people of Da Huang were not dead but were controlled by the demonic beasts instead?

With this thought, Yang Chen couldn’t help but become nervous. He decided he would meticulously expand his soul perception to search every inch of space, hoping to find a small clue that he could hold onto.

Thus, his soul perception covered every inch, moving forward and searching. This was an extremely energy-consuming task, but Yang Chen had no choice but to do it now.

As the saying goes, “effort pays off.” Finally, after half a day of searching, Yang Chen’s soul perception suddenly touched something.

“Huh? A formation array.” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.

This was an array that isolated the soul perception. Only a very skilled soul perception could penetrate it without making a sound. If it was just a large-scale coverage, it would be difficult to detect this place. Only through meticulous searching, one could detect the existence of this formation array.

However, such an array could not stump Yang Chen.

With a little effort, Yang Chen’s soul merged, and he observed the specific situation inside.

“There are living people.” Yang Chen immediately made a judgment.

He hadn’t held much hope initially, but unexpectedly, there were indeed living people, and they were under the control of these demonic beasts.

Yang Chen could sense a trace of conspiracy in this situation, but he had no time to think about it. The people inside the formation array were, after all, mostly his Yang family members.

His Yang family members being held hostage, how could he just stand by idly? He quickly disappeared from the spot and headed straight to their location.

The place where the Yang family and other people of Da Huang were being held was the former Zhang family’s residence. Although the appearance of the Zhang family’s residence had not changed much, it had actually become the territory of the demonic beasts. At a glance, many demonic beasts were patrolling around, while not a single human could be found.

“What do you think is the reason those demon generals are making us watch this place? These humans were obviously going to be killed a few days ago, but suddenly they ordered us to keep them alive. What’s the use of keeping them alive? Their Martial Arts Cultivation is so poor that they can’t even make it to the stage. What’s the point of keeping them alive?” Two demonic beasts were discussing with each other.

“Don’t you think I want to know? But it’s better for us not to think too much about the things that the higher-ups are doing. Since they want to keep these people alive, they must have their reasons. The more we know, the worse it will be for us.”

“You’re right. Speaking of which, you should go and check on these humans too. Hmph, these humans are really useless. Not only is their strength lacking, but we also have to bring them food every day.” The two demonic beasts said with a resentful look on their faces.

As they were talking, one of them left, taking some spirit fruits with him to deliver to the humans.

The other one was standing guard leisurely, not feeling any danger at all. After all, this place was already considered the absolute domain and territory of the demonic beasts. What danger could there be?

However, just as this thought settled, suddenly a string of thunderlights appeared and directly penetrated its chest. Accompanied by a mysterious flame, it was instantly burnt to ashes and disappeared like smoke.

All of this happened silently, unnoticed by anyone.

Then, a figure disappeared like lightning, following the other demonic beast into the inner courtyard.

That demonic beast, carrying spirit fruits, entered the inner courtyard. Except for an old locust tree in the courtyard, there were humans all over the ground. Most of these humans were the higher-ups of the Yang family, while a few were from other major clans–a good number of them were familiar faces to Yang Chen.

But now, these humans were all tied up tightly, half-dead on the ground, their Qi unable to disperse. There was no trace of vitality in their eyes as they were filled with despair.

When this demonic beast came, it directly threw the spirit fruits on the ground.

These humans immediately crawled to pick them up and, once they got them, gobbled them down. It was obvious they were starving.

Some stubborn humans didn’t even look at these spirit fruits, as if they would rather die than yield.

Among them was Elder Yang, who, despite his old age, still stood tall and showed no intention of submitting to the demonic beasts.

This infuriated the demonic beast, who cursed: “You humans are undoubtedly spineless! You dare not eat the food I provide? Don’t you dare eat it?”

As it spoke, the demonic beast picked up a whip and viciously lashed the people who did not want to eat the fruits.

Many humans were whipped until their skin split and flesh separated, crying out in pain.

While whipping, the demonic beast cursed loudly: “If it weren’t for the higher-ups’ order to keep watch over you and not let you die, do you think your pathetic lives would matter to me?”

The more it whipped, the more addicted it became. But suddenly, a flash of thunderlight appeared, and the demonic beast instantly fell to the ground.

This surprised many people.

Because that demonic beast was clearly dead on the spot.

“What happened to it…” A few people started discussing.

Just as they were talking, a figure appeared. The person was none other than Yang Chen.

“You, you are Yang Chen!” Elder Yang and Yang Jin He were the first to recognize Yang Chen. Upon seeing him, they were so excited that their voices trembled.

Some other high-level members of the Yang family also saw Yang Chen. When they saw him, they felt like they were looking at hope.

“You, are you really Yang Chen? You, you came back.” Elder Yang said with his eyes filled with tears.

Yang Chen looked at Elder Yang’s miserable appearance at this moment, and said bitterly: “Elder Yang, I’m sorry you had to suffer.”

“I’m not suffering, not suffering. I thought I was getting old and wouldn’t live much longer. To see you at this time, I’m already content.” Elder Yang said with a sigh.

“Yang Chen, what is going on with these demonic beasts? Just like the Fire Essence Beast last time, they all appeared out of nowhere. But this time is different: there are many different types of them, and they are attacking on a large scale. We… we have no ability to resist.” Yang Jin He started speaking.
