THE SUPREME MARTIAL KING SHOCKING ALL REALMS

Chapter 954: Chapter 951: Returning Again_1

Upon seeing the outcome, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile: “Senior Yun Lu, the formation set up by the Fishpeople Tribe is indeed reliable. Paired with my Heavenly Thunder Origin and Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, it directly exhibited an astonishing power. The Half-Step Earth Martial Realm warrior couldn’t withstand it even for a moment.”

He waved his hand, withdrawing the power of the formation.

The advantage of the Fishpeople Tribe’s formation is that it’s not easily detectable. Unless an enemy has rich experience and carefully observes inside the formation, it’s nearly impossible to sense its presence.

Thus, he was able to use the formation to kill the Masked Assassin just now.

Yang Chen went outside, took out a pill, and stuffed it into the assassin’s mouth: “This pill will temporarily save your life.”

The Masked Assassin was already unconscious and had no idea that Yang Chen had saved his life with a pill.

There was a reason for Yang Chen’s actions.

“Now that there’s such a big disturbance here, I guess everyone who should be here has arrived,” thought Yang Chen.

As the words fell, suddenly, a number of astonishing Qi appeared. Yang Chen saw Zhou Qing, as well as Fu Yunhe and their respective followers.

Both parties had arrived almost simultaneously. Compared to Zhou Qing’s forces, Fu Yunhe’s were even stronger, though only slightly.

Whether it was Zhou Qing or Fu Yunhe, both were surprised to see Yang Chen alive.

Especially Fu Yunhe, seeing Yang Chen alive and the Masked Assassin on the ground, his pupils contracted violently, a trace of malice flashing in his expression.

Yang Chen caught a glimpse of it.

Zhou Qing seemed surprised but didn’t harbor any murderous intent towards himself, while Fu Yunhe did.

However, Fu Yunhe was extremely cunning and quickly suppressed such an expression, then pretended to be perfectly normal without missing a beat.

The quick change in his demeanor almost made people feel as if they had seen it wrong and that Fu Yunhe didn’t have any ill intentions.

Fu Yunhe landed and looked at the Masked Assassin on the ground, asking, “Sect Leader, what happened?”

“Nothing major. I was just attacked by an unremarkable Half-Step Earth Martial Realm assassin; however, they weren’t very skilled, and I managed to subdue them,” Yang Chen said calmly.

His words made many people twitch their mouths. A Half-Step Earth Martial Realm warrior wasn’t strong? What was his own strength? Yang Chen’s process of subduing the Masked Assassin was unimaginable and hard to believe.

“I apologize for our late arrival to protect you, Master Yang,” said Fu Yunhe sincerely. “As it happens, this assassin deserves to die. He seems to have only been barely clinging on to life; shall I kill him now on your behalf?”

As his words fell, Fu Yunhe immediately prepared to take action.

However, Yang Chen stopped him in time, coldly saying, “Fu Yunhe, I don’t recall allowing you to act. I’m right beside the assassin. Won’t you accidentally hurt me with your actions? Or do you want to kill me?”

Fu Yunhe stared deeply into Yang Chen’s eyes, then laughed heartily: “Master, I was just trying to avenge you by killing the assassin. After all, it’s my responsibility that someone tried to assassinate you on your first day of being in charge!”

“Is that so? Then there’s no need to bother with Fu Yunhe anymore. I have my own plans for this assassin’s life. It still has its uses. You all may leave now,” Yang Chen said slowly.

Why didn’t he kill the assassin?

To lure the snake out of the hole.

From what he could see now, the result was very satisfying. Zhou Qing didn’t seem to be interested in the assassin’s life, but Fu Yunhe appeared to be worried about whether the assassin remained alive or dead, as if the assassin’s survival was a huge problem for him.

In his heart, Yang Chen already had an answer. Although he couldn’t be certain, it was most likely correct. To confirm his suspicions, he only needed to perform a Soul Search on the assassin to find the truth.

“Yes, let’s all leave,” Fu Yunhe reluctantly agreed. Realizing that Yang Chen had made up his mind, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes before he turned and left.

Upon his departure, Zhou Qing also left without exchanging a word with Yang Chen.

Looking frustrated after leaving, Fu Yunhe vented his anger only once he returned to his own territory.

“Damn it, damn it! How did this happen? The assassin I sent actually failed? A Half-Step Earth Martial Realm assassin – a Half-Step Earth Martial Realm assassin! Who can tell me what happened?” Fu Yunhe gritted his teeth, unable to comprehend the situation.

How hard could it be for a Half-Step Earth Martial Realm assassin to deal with a useless Seventh Layer True Martial Realm martial artist? It should have been as easy as reaching out to pick something up, right? So what was the outcome?

The assassin he sent had been subdued, and Yang Chen was alive and well.

“Sect Leader, the only explanation is that this Surnamed Yang has been disguising his true strength. Or perhaps, the Great Emperor is protecting him,” said an elder beside Fu Yunhe. “However, I think the most important thing for the Sect Leader to focus on right now isn’t why Surnamed Yang can kill our assassin; no matter how powerful he is, we’ll just send an Earth Martial Realm warrior and we won’t fail to kill him this time. The key issue now is that Surnamed Yang spared the assassin’s life.”

“Your guess may not be wrong. Would a young noble think to spare an assassin’s life? Would he deliberately refrain from killing the assassin?” Fu Yunhe snarled viciously, “Damn it, this brat wants to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes through the assassin!”

“Then… then what should we do, Sect Leader? If this guy really investigates and the truth is exposed, once the Great Emperor finds out, won’t we…”

“What’s there to panic about?” Fu Yunhe replied emotionlessly, “How can a Seventh Layer True Martial Realm martial artist have the qualifications to perform a Soul Search on the soul of a Half-Step Earth Martial Realm powerful one?”

“You’re right!”

“Yes, I don’t believe that Yang Chen’s soul is powerful enough to perform a Soul Search on the Divine Soul of a Half-Step Earth Martial Realm warrior.”

In an instant, the warriors under Fu Yunhe’s command let out a collective sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen carried the Masked Assassin’s body and went back to his room.

He had thought everyone would leave, but he hadn’t expected someone to return. It was none other than Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing returned without any ill intentions; he directly released his Qi to signal Yang Chen of his presence.

“Oh? Vice Sect Leader Zhou Qing!” Yang Chen greeted him with a salute. “What brings you here in the middle of the night?”

Zhou Qing’s return and his intentions were indeed rather baffling.

At this moment, Zhou Qing’s demeanor had changed drastically. He stared deeply at Yang Chen: “Master Yang, I misunderstood you. You didn’t show your full strength earlier, and it seems you just wanted to deal with the subsequent issues in a low-key manner. I naively thought you were really incompetent, but now it seems that it was me, Zhou Qing, who underestimated you.”
