A terrifying and powerful aura, as vast as the sky and as vast as the sea, gradually appeared in the distance.
On the horizon, there was a dazzling golden light, like the sun rising from the east.
Under the illumination of that light, the Twilight Lord's Twilight Dark Moon Force Field, which was already beginning to shatter, seemed even more dispirited.
The dark night would eventually pass and the sun would rise, leaving only light in the world.
Looking into the distance, Yan Zhaoge murmured, "The legacy of the Sacred Sun Clan, the cultivation of a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster."
The Great Grandmaster Realm, the peak of the tenth layer, was known as the Extraordinary Realm.
Transcendence, Sainthood.
Stepping into this realm meant that a martial artist had officially begun his sprint towards the Martial Saint realm.
Generally speaking, most of the Reaching Heaven Realm martial artists at the peak of the Master Realm were preparing to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm in seclusion.
Transcendents rarely roamed the world. Most of the time, they were cultivating in seclusion, hoping to break through the final mortal boundary and become a Saint!
Becoming a Martial Sage would not only increase one's strength by leaps and bounds, but it would also extend one's lifespan.
Therefore, Transcendent Martial Grandmasters were rarely active.
However, at this moment, before Yan Zhaoge's eyes, a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster seemed to have descended!
"Pan Botai, Grand Elder of the Sacred Sun Clan." Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "The West Crooked Lord of the first generation of the Seven Reigning Suns went into seclusion to cultivate after attaining the Transcending Mortality stage. The position of the West Crooked Lord was passed down to this junior."
"Xiao Shen's maternal grandfather. It should be him."
Yan Zhaoge said leisurely, "Amongst Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters, he can be considered rather active, appearing in the world from time to time."
"Young Master, Elder Shi may not be able to withstand this old monster, not to mention that there is still Twilight Lord at the side."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly. Now, a figure flickered before him, an emaciated old man appearing before him. It was precisely that Broad Creed Mountain Elder who had previously displayed the Golden Curtain Palm to help Yan Zhaoge obstruct the Sacred Sun Clan's Martial Grandmaster as well as the Ghost Hatchet Elder Han Sheng.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu, as well as the decapitated Yan Xu, the emaciated old man was slightly shocked.
In the end, Yan Xu was a martial grandmaster, and his strength was not the slightest bit weaker than the skinny old man's.
While it had already been heavily injured by Shi Tie earlier, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu had actually managed to slay it without paying much of a price.
The injuries on Ah Hu's body were the old injuries he had sustained from Xiao Shen's Sun Rain back in the Spirit Wind Canyon.
This scene fell into the eyes of the skinny old man, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
If it was said to be borrowing the power of a Spirit Artifact, Yan Xu also had a Spirit Artifact. Even though he had also been heavily injured by Shi Tie, the middle-grade Spirit Artifact, the Serene Clear Sunlight Sabre, had allowed Yan Xu to not be at a disadvantage in terms of weapons.
The emaciated old man had shaken off his opponent as quickly as possible and rushed over. He had originally thought that if Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu could make use of Yan Xu's injuries to delay his escape, it would be their victory.
Who would have thought that in the end, Yan Xu would instead be killed cleanly by the two of them.
The emaciated Elder sighed towards Yan Zhaoge, "Even if you want to leave now, it's already too late. Pan Botai has specifically come for you."
Upon mentioning Pan Botai's name, the withered old man's voice turned solemn.
A man's name, a tree's shadow. As a longtime Elder of the Sacred Sun Clan, Pan Botai was of the same generation as the East Coming Martial Saint, the 'Sun Comes East' Huang Guanglie, and Broad Creed Mountain's old Chief, the 'Heaven Equalling' Yuan Zhengfeng.
Having been famous for many years, his accomplishments in battle were glorious, having stepped into the Transcending Mortality stage. Beneath the Martial Grandmaster realm, he was also a famous expert.
The pressure that he brought about was naturally not something that the likes of the Twilight Lord and the East Rising Lord could compare to.
The gaze with which the emaciated old man looked at Yan Zhaoge was somewhat complicated.
Although he had rushed over in time to help Yan Zhaoge block the Sacred Sun Clan's Martial Grandmaster, not showing any fear in the face of the enemy in the slightest.
However, regarding the matter of Yan Zhaoge killing Xiao Shen, the emaciated old man still held some reservations.
As Yan Zhaoge met the old man's gaze, he more or less knew what he was thinking.
Within Broad Creed Mountain, there existed a certain ideology, which was to avoid conflict with the Sacred Sun Clan as much as possible, silently accumulating their own strength and waiting for a chance to rise up once more.
When necessary, they could even make some concessions, only doing their best to ensure that their core interests were not harmed.
The longtime Elders of the clan, the people of the older generation, mostly thought this way.
The emaciated old man before him was also one of them.
And the middle generation, with Yan Di and Shi Tie at their head, mostly pursued a tough, proactive attitude.
This was because in recent years, the Sacred Sun Clan's invasions had become more and more unbridled and unbridled.
As Yan Di and the others saw it, retreating conservatively was equivalent to being willing to let the Sacred Sun Clan slowly cut their flesh and let out their blood.
Not only would they be unable to silently accumulate their strength like the older generation thought, they would instead fall into a situation of stagnation, perhaps even falling back.
Even if they didn't fall back, while the Sacred Sun Clan and the other Sacred Grounds were unceasingly rising, remaining where they were would be equivalent to rowing a boat against the current.
The Sacred Sun Clan had never, and would never in the future, sit quietly by the side, kindly waiting for Broad Creed Mountain to develop and catch up, even surpassing them.
Reacting conservatively and placing their hopes on the future was akin to building castles in the air, equivalent to surrendering the initiative to them.
If one really had to talk about hope, their only hope would be for another huge change like the invasion of the Flame Devil World.
And the main victim of this huge change would be the Sacred Sun Clan.
Just like what Broad Creed Mountain had encountered in its heyday that year.
However, who could say for sure about such a thing?
Yan Zhaoge's second apprentice-uncle Fang Zhun had originally been one of the rare moderates of the middle generation, also receiving the support of a large number of longtime Elders as a result.
However, in recent years, perhaps because the Sacred Sun Clan was getting more and more insatiable, or perhaps because the old Clan Chief Yuan Zhengfeng's and Shi Tie's thinking was more unyielding, Fang Zhun's attitude had also gradually become more unyielding.
Fang Zhun's attitude also began to gradually harden, causing those of the older generation who had originally supported him to be greatly disappointed.
Now, in the competition for the position of Clan Chief, other than each other, Yan Di and Fang Zhun actually also had to face the pressure of the clan's longtime Elders.
The entanglements within were becoming more and more complicated, hard to describe in a few words.
Specifically talking about the current situation in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, as well as what had happened previously, the moderates were also supportive of Yan Zhaoge bringing back Feng Yunsheng, provided that Feng Yunsheng could really recover.
Regarding the Eastern Tang, they were a little ambiguous, while regarding Yan Zhaoge's killing of Xiao Shen afterwards, they felt an extreme headache.
Although they all spoke the same way to the outside world, internally, the older generation had very complicated feelings towards Yan Zhaoge who could both perform meritorious deeds and cause trouble at the same time.
Looking at the emaciated Elder's conflicted appearance, Yan Zhaoge didn't say anything more, only asking, "May I ask how Elder Qin and Elder Kong are doing?"
The emaciated old man said simply, "Elder Shi has arrived even earlier than expected. He himself came here, accompanied by experts of our clan to reinforce Elder Qin and the others. After repelling the East Rising Lord and the others, they have already retreated to the vicinity, hurrying over to meet up with Elder Shi."
"But following Pan Botai's arrival, the Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners once again began their counterattack."
"You are the target of everyone; this time, it will be hard for things to end peacefully."
Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "Wanting to kill me, is only the beginning."
"The other side's goal, has actually already been achieved. If I hadn't killed Xiao Shen, whether or not they killed me would already no longer be important."
"It was only because I killed Xiao Shen that Pan Botai specially came over."
The light in the horizon grew brighter and brighter.
