The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 2980: Chapter 2975: Old Acquaintance, Xue Ruyi?_1

As the Deathly Silent Black Wind passed, even the corpses were completely annihilated. What remained were the lingering shock in the eyes of Wind Walk Two Elders.

An expert at the Boundaryless Stage had killed five Boundaryless Ghost Venerables within the blink of an eye. What a terrifying feat!

Such a feat occurred in just an instant, too fast for anyone to comprehend. Everything that was supposed to end had ended all at once.

How did he manage to do it?

Wind Walk Two Elders had even forgotten to be grateful. Subconsciously, they sized up the young man in front of them, only to see a young face.

Such a young appearance shocked both of them, as they couldn’t believe that such a young expert at the Boundaryless Stage existed. They were truly astonished in their hearts.

It was only then that the two realized.

"Thank you, Daoist friend, for saving our lives. If it weren’t for your mighty display just now, my senior brother and I might have perished on the spot," said Wind Walk Two Elders, both sighing and lamenting as they looked at each other.

Yang Chen cupped his hands, indicating there was no need for excessive politeness. He asked, "How come the two of you are in this place? The territory here should be the Netherworld Ghosts’, and the dangers of the Extreme Yin Land are well-known to you, right?"

Wind Walk Two Elders shook their heads helplessly. Regarding this matter, they had to admit: "It’s natural for Brother Yang Chen to be unaware of what we are doing. It’s a secret task. Aside from my brother and me, only King Shenhe knows about it."

Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel surprised. King Shenhe?

Hadn’t he also obtained King Shenhe’s consent when he traveled from the Northern Region to the Southern Region?

Upon mentioning King Shenhe, Yang Chen felt nostalgic, and a few sighs arose in his heart. In the blink of an eye, it had been decades since they last met.

Although ten years weren’t long nor short, many changes had taken place in his life during that time.

"What task are you two performing?" Yang Chen asked subconsciously.

The Wind Walk Two Elders hesitated for a moment.

Yang Chen then recalled and laughed casually, not minding, "If it’s inconvenient for the two of you, don’t worry about saying."

The Wind Walk Two Elders looked at each other, feeling it might be inappropriate not to say anything.

So they asked, "May I know the name of the Daoist friend...?"

"Yang Chen," he replied frankly.

"Yang Chen?" Wind Walk Two Elders clearly didn’t know and didn’t understand much about him.

Yang Chen didn’t find it strange either. Although he had won great merit points in the Southern Region back then, after all, it was just a brief appearance before heading to the Northern Region. His fame was entirely different from that in the North. It was normal for Wind Walk Two Elders not to recognize him.

Wind Walk Two Elders smiled faintly, "Daoist Yang Chen, actually, this matter isn’t something unspeakable. Now, due to the reinforcements from the Extreme Yin Land, our Southern Region is struggling against the Extreme Yin Land. After discussing with King Shenhe, we felt that this situation couldn’t go on. The fundamental reason why humans are losing to Netherworld Ghosts is the extremely entangling Ghost Qi they cultivate."

"If we could find a way to deal with the Netherworld Ghosts’ cultivation of Ghost Qi, the pressure would surely be reduced. Even though it was risky, we ventured into the Extreme Yin Land to try to gather some information on the Netherworld Ghost Venerables. The goal is to find their cultivation method, such as their cultivation of Undead Ghost Qi, and send it back to some Immortal Grade Alchemists to study and find countermeasures."

Hearing the words of Wind Walk Two Elders, Yang Chen was momentarily startled, and then couldn’t help but laugh and cry. These two elders thought the same as him. Moreover, they probably didn’t know that not only had he found the Netherworld Ghosts’ cultivation method, he had also found a way to crack it.

However, there was no need to show off about these things to the elders now. After all, others had almost lost their lives in order to obtain this method.

Yang Chen sighed with emotion, "The two of you risked your lives and ventured deep into the Extreme Yin Land for the sake of humanity. Such actions truly deserve the admiration and learning of my fellow cultivators."

"Hahaha, Brother Yang Chen, you’re joking. There’s no need to praise us. As humans, it’s only natural for us to join forces against external enemies. The one who deserves praise and thanks now is you, Brother Yang Chen. If you hadn’t saved us today, we would have perished here. Naturally, we wouldn’t be able to send back the information about the Netherworld Ghosts’ Undead Ghost Qi. We owe you our gratitude," Wind Walk Two Elders sighed to each other.

Yang Chen hurriedly waved his hand in modesty.

After answering, Wind Walk Two Elders looked at Yang Chen with a puzzled expression, "You look unfamiliar, Brother Yang Chen. You shouldn’t be a cultivator under King Shenhe’s command, right?"

Yang Chen could sense the two people’s doubts, but he had spent some time on the battlefield, so it wasn’t difficult to find a reasonable reason.

He said, "It’s like this. I come from the Holy Domain and rushed to the battlefield from the rear with the intention of secretly performing some tasks. I can’t reveal the details of this task, but as it happened, I sensed the commotion here during my mission and rushed over."

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Wind Walk Two Elders felt relieved. Although they still felt somewhat suspicious, they didn’t pursue Yang Chen’s identity any further, since he was a human and had saved them.

Now hearing that Yang Chen had come from the rear, the two of them quickly laughed and said, "So Brother Yang Chen came from the rear. Hahaha, that’s great. In that case, you must come with us to our camp. If King Shenhe learns that we have someone as talented as you amongst us, he will surely be overjoyed."

Yang Chen, who had now returned to the Northern Region, was supposed to deal with the matters at hand and resolve the issues that needed attention.

It was somewhat necessary to meet King Shenhe again before returning to the Holy Domain.

"Since the two of you have invited me, how could I refuse? I appreciate your hard work," Yang Chen said with a cupped fist salute.

"Hahaha, Brother Yang Chen, it’s our pleasure to have you agree. Please, let’s go right away," Wind Walk Two Elders laughed heartily.

And so, the three of them talked and laughed as they headed straight for the camp in the rear.

...

At the same time, far away in the rear of the camp, a young woman with a delicate appearance showed a worried look on her face as she paced back and forth, waiting anxiously.

"Young Lady, don’t worry about it. Perhaps Wind Walk Two Elders will be back soon..." Another woman saw her anxiety and couldn’t help but try to comfort her from the side.

This woman had a beautiful face and snow-white skin, which made her truly beautiful. Her furrowed brows and worried expression made one feel sympathetic.

If Yang Chen had been here, he would have recognized her.

She was his old acquaintance from the battlefield years ago - Xue Ruyi.
