The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms - Chapter 2871: 2866: Splitting Up and Taking Action_1

Chapter 2871: Chapter 2866: Splitting Up and Taking Action_1

Yang Chen exchanged a glance with Yun Bietianzun, who seemed determined to make him the captain. With his wisdom, it was hard not to guess the reasons.

Yun Bietianzun intended to make him the captain on purpose.

After all, Yang Chen wasn’t really a member of the Heavenly Venerate Pavilion. Yun Bietianzun wouldn’t be satisfied unless he exploited him thoroughly.

Yang Chen felt helpless, but at this point, there was no way to solve the issue. Although he had been dragged into the Heavenly Venerate Pavilion, he could only say, “Well, since Yun Bietianzun holds me in such high esteem, I will obey.”

When the conversation ended, Yang Chen looked at the three members of the Heavenly Venerate Pavilion and smiled, “The three of you will need to help me a lot on this journey.”

The three of them simply nodded their heads, not saying much. They seemed to agree with him, but it was clear that they were somewhat unhappy with him being the captain.

Yun Bietianzun also saw this clearly, but when Yang Chen glanced in his direction, he turned his head away, pretending not to see and playing dumb.

Yang Chen felt helpless again and could only ask about the Netherworld ghosts hidden in the rear.

This matter of Netherworld ghosts lurking in the rear was quite serious.

Most humans were unaware that Netherworld ghosts could possess human bodies, which was their major trump card. They wouldn’t use this trump card openly.

But now that it had been exposed, these Netherworld ghosts no longer held back.

After lurking in the rear, they might find a suitable body to reside in, making it hard to distinguish between the real and the fake, making it very difficult to catch those Netherworld ghosts.

As for the routes provided by Yun Bietianzun, they only knew the locations of the previous teleportation arrays and the nearby casualties and records of the Netherworld ghosts’ rampage. The rest was up to them to handle in the vicinity.

Yang Chen and the others felt somewhat helpless with so little clues. After all, it was like finding a needle in a haystack.

But at this point, they could only buckle down and deal with the situation.

After a brief discussion, the four-person team decided to set off in five days.

Now, before setting off, the four returned to make some preparations.

Watching the four leave, an old man with fiery red hair and a beard standing next to Yun Bietianzun asked puzzledly, “Brother Yun, why did you insist on making Yang Chen the captain? You know, Yang Chen isn’t prestigious enough, he just entered the Great Ascension stage. Though he saved the Spirit King, he hasn’t had any real combat experience and is hardly convincing. On the other hand, these three have been in the Heavenly Venerate Pavilion for a long time, and have experienced some ups and downs. Having one of them as the captain would have caused no disputes.”

Yun Bietianzun shook his head and replied, “Fire Elder, what you said is easy but do you know everything? At first, my idea was the same as yours, but after Brother Yun Qi left, my thoughts have changed a lot.”

“What do you mean?” The Boundless Stage expert called Fire Elder asked.

“Hehe!”

Yun Bietianzun sneered, “You say that these three, Luo Zhiheng, are quite excellent in the Heavenly Venerate Pavilion and have made many real achievements in battle. They are said to have experienced ups and downs, but do you know how small these ups and downs are compared to the real ones? Those skirmishes are nothing.”

“What do you mean?” Fire Elder was confused.

“Isn’t it simple? These three people are causing quite a stir in their own backyard, but have they ever been to the battlefield?” Yun Bietianzun said solemnly, “Not one of them has. I never restricted them from going to the battlefield. If they really wanted to prove themselves, they could go at any time. But instead, they have been avoiding it, claiming that their strength isn’t enough and wanting to develop in the rear. They only dare fight small battles in the backyard and call that up and downs. Winning a few fights against their own people is called storms? They haven’t even gone to the battlefield. If I made them the captain, I would feel ashamed.”

“That makes some sense, but has this young Yang Chen been to the battlefield?” Fire Elder couldn’t help asking.

“Fire Elder, you’ve really been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, not asking about the outside world. Haha, Yang Chen’s fame on the front line is already overwhelming. At the Nirvana stage, he killed those Netherworld ghosts who were frightened by his very presence. Same level Nirvana ghosts would run away at the sight of him. And even the Emperor-Rank Ghost Beings were killed by him. You tell me, how amazing this kid is!” Yun Bietianzun said.

“What!” Fire Elder was shocked, “He’s so amazing that even an Emperor-Rank Ghost Being was killed by him? That’s an Emperor-Rank Ghost Being!”

“That’s why I made him the captain, not because of his amazing power and how many Netherworld ghosts he has killed, but because he has experienced the battlefield and is very familiar with Netherworld ghosts. That’s why I arranged him as captain.”

Yun Bietianzun said, “These three people, how much do they know about Netherworld ghosts? Their strategies are all on paper. If they were captains, I wouldn’t be at ease.”

“That’s true. But after being pampered in their own backyard for so long, these three will probably have a hard time following Yang Chen,” Fire Elder said.

“Haha, Fire Elder. Who can guarantee that they won’t follow for a lifetime?”

When the conversation ended, Yun Bietianzun and Fire Elder looked at each other and laughed.

…

After five days, the four-person team set off on time.

First, the four came to the nearest teleportation array location near the Heavenly Venerate Pavilion.

Of course, this teleportation array had already been destroyed. However, the Netherworld ghosts lurking around it were now hidden, and nobody knew where they had gone. From time to time, there were reports of cultivators falling, indicating that the Netherworld ghosts were still wreaking havoc nearby.

Now, at high altitude, Yang Chen and the others stood here.

“Everyone, let’s discuss how to proceed,” Yang Chen said calmly, “Should we act together or separately?”

“I think it’s better to split up. There are many places nearby that have been ravaged by Netherworld ghosts, and the cultivators in many areas are panicking. We must deal with this as soon as possible. Group actions are too cumbersome, and the speed at which we solve things isn’t fast enough.”

Yang Chen knew that these three would definitely make a choice. After all, individual action means that they couldn’t grab merits, and if they really didn’t obey him, their best method would be to use achievements to beat him.

“I also think it’s better to act individually. I’ll take care of the trouble in the east.”

“I’ll handle the west.”

“In that case, I’ll take care of the north.”

The three of them made a decision, without even asking for the opinion of their captain, Yang Chen, before heading off in different directions to take action.

As for this, Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn’t even bother stopping them. Seeing the three act like this, he could only choose the last remaining location to the south, and begin his own actions.
