The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 2873: Chapter 2868: More Misfortune than Fortune_1

“But Father, our younger sister has been missing for quite some time, and there’s been no news of her. As her older sisters, we are extremely anxious. If we can’t find her, we fear that she may…”

As they spoke, their eyes welled up with tears, tugging at the heartstrings.

The Zhou Family Head sighed helplessly, with some displeasure, but felt powerless in the face of his two daughters’ distress. Even with anger in his voice, he couldn’t help but soften his tone when he spoke to them.

“What use is it for you two to come looking for me now? We must not rush things.” The Zhou Family Head said with a bitter sigh.

“We heard that a senior from the Heaven Lord Pavilion has come here, so we wanted to take a look and see if he has any solutions. Speaking of which, where is that senior from the Heaven Lord Pavilion?”

As the two delicate girls looked around, they naturally thought that the senior from the Heaven Lord Pavilion was an old man with white hair. Little did they know that Yang Chen, the young man enjoying tea not far away, was the senior they were looking for.

The Zhou Family Head saw his daughters fail to recognize the senior, his smile even more bitter. Unable to do anything else, he glanced at the seemingly unremarkable young man, signaling that the senior was right in front of them.

Watching their father’s gaze linger on the young man not too far away, the two sisters stared in disbelief, seemingly thinking their father was joking.

At first, they had noticed Yang Chen but dismissed him as a young guest in the Zhou family or a suitor pursuing them.

Many people like him had come and gone. However, the number of suitors had decreased recently due to the strict security around the Zhou family. Even so, some suitors continued to show up from time to time.

But they never imagined that this man was not one of their suitors but the senior sent by the Heaven Lord Pavilion.

“Even if he had taken the Youth-preserving Pill to maintain his youthful appearance, surely he wouldn’t look this young…”

Using the vibrant qi of youth as a criterion, on close inspection, Yang Chen was undoubtedly a very young person.

“You two should be quiet. Even though this person looks young, he is still from the Heaven Lord Pavilion. I’ll test him first,” the Zhou Family Head transmitted his voice.

The two girls nodded quietly.

The Zhou Family Head then waved his sleeve, signaling his servants to be quiet, and sat down.

“This junior, Zhou Yisong, is the head of the Zhou family. Our clan is currently in chaos due to these ghostly Yin spirits, and I apologize if we cannot attend to you properly. We hope the senior can be forgiving. Moreover, these are my two daughters…” Zhou Yisong glanced at his daughters.

The two girls were so engrossed in thinking about their missing sister that they had no energy to think about anything else.

It was only when Zhou Yisong cleared his throat that they snapped back to reality and hurriedly introduced themselves.

“I’m Zhou Yanran.”

“I’m Zhou Ruoxue.”

Yang Chen nonchalantly savored his tea and stroked his chin, chuckling.

Zhou Yisong was quite fortunate to have three daughters, all of whom were beautiful, outstanding, and talented in their own right. He imagined that the third daughter must not have been far from them in terms of natural beauty.

Indeed, these names themselves evoked poetic beauty; even as a ghost creature, he would be tempted by them.

Of course, this was just a joke.

Yang Chen was never one to engage in idle chatter, he calmly said, “I am temporarily residing in the Heaven Lord Pavilion. My name is Yang Chen. I am now working for the Heaven Lord Pavilion, and I have been ordered to come here to investigate the Netherworld Ghosts.”

After speaking, Yang Chen laughed quietly to himself, realizing why those powerful elders always liked to claim themselves as “this seat” or “this lord”.

Now that he was regarded as a senior, saying “I” didn’t carry much weight and made it difficult for him to be taken seriously.

As he expected, Zhou Yisong’s impression of Yang Chen grew more and more unreliable. His worries outweighed the joy that had ignited earlier.

“Senior, if you’re not from the Heaven Lord Pavilion, will you still be able to help with the matters in Tianlun City…?” Zhou Yisong asked worriedly.

“Rest assured, I am well informed about the situation in Tianlun City, including the issues your Zhou family is facing.” Yang Chen replied gently.

But Zhou Yisong was not worried about Yang Chen’s understanding of the situation; he was more concerned about his strength. He hesitated before saying, “Senior, these ghosts are very powerful, and they hide in the shadows. I initially planned to take the initiative to search for my daughter, but after finding a clue, my strongest warriors disappeared. Now, I dare not act recklessly.”

Yang Chen was well aware of Zhou Yisong’s meaning. Tapping his fingers on the armrest of his chair and smiling, he suddenly released a powerful and overwhelming aura.

As the aura burst forth like a despair-inducing gale, everyone present was shaken to their core.

A wave of desperate pressure engulfed them.

Yang Chen restrained himself and had only revealed the tip of the iceberg of his true strength. Nevertheless, it was enough to intimidate everyone in the room.

He smiled and asked, “Family Head Zhou, do you have any more concerns now?”

At first, Zhou Yisong was indeed full of fear and anxiety, which led him to talk for so long without revealing any useful information.

But now, seeing Yang Chen expose his strength, Zhou Yisong immediately fell to his knees.

“Senior, Elder Yang, please, you must save my missing daughter!”

As Zhou Yisong knelt, his daughters and many servants followed suit.

Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “What are you doing? I’m here to help you, and you don’t need to kneel to get my help. Hurry up and get up. This sort of behavior is what I dislike the most.”

Only then did Zhou Yisong, tears streaming down his face, quickly wipe away his tears and stand up.

Zhou Yanran and Zhou Ruoxue, now looking at Yang Chen with sparkling eyes, were filled with excitement. They never thought that the young man before them, who even appeared younger than them, was such a powerful expert in the Great Ascension Stage.

How he accomplished this was truly astonishing.

Yang Chen watched the three of them stand up and calmly asked, “I presume that none of your three daughters are married yet?”

“No, none of them are married,” Zhou Yisong replied, confused about Yang Chen’s intentions and wondering why he was asking such a pointless question.

“That’s right. Your daughters are virgins, their bodies filled with extreme Yin energy. From my understanding of Netherworld Ghosts, they captured your daughters not for any other purpose but to devour their extreme Yin energy to strengthen themselves. If that’s the case, I must be brutally honest. The chances of survival for your daughters are slim,” Yang Chen explained.
