"Chen Kunhua?" Hearing his words, a playful expression appeared on Yan Zhaoge's face.
Yan Zhaoge had naturally heard of the Earthly Young Master Chen Kunhua before.
However, compared to him, Yan Zhaoge had heard more about his elder brother.
The Upper Exalt, Chen Qianhua.
The publicly acknowledged strongest Martial Saint of the World beyond Worlds, the number one Exalt.
His twin brother was Chen Kunhua, who had the name 'Earthly Prince'. He was also a top expert with extraordinary talent who had made a name for himself at a young age.
While he was not as shockingly talented as Chen Qianhua, his name could still shake the World beyond Worlds.
It was worth mentioning that there were rumors that Chen Kunhua had been pursuing Ingenious Flying Peak's Fu Ting, but there was no news of it.
Yan Zhaoge paid some attention to this matter. While it had been the former Heavenly Young Master, the current Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua, who had helped Three Foot Mountain back then, it had been Chen Kunhua who had been closer to Three Foot Mountain afterwards as Three Foot Mountain had been at his beck and call, contributing much to him.
Compared to First Young Master Chen, this Second Young Master Chen had a closer relationship with Three Foot Mountain.
Three Foot Mountain's two supreme treasures, the soul flag and the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Golden Crow Incinerating Heaven Sabre, had both fallen into Yan Zhaoge's hands.
After inspecting it, Yan Zhaoge discovered that there was a special sigil on it which did not seem to be the handiwork of Three Foot Mountain.
After falling into his hands, these seals slowly faded away.
Analysing the use of these runes, Yan Zhaoge could tell that they did not possess any killing power, being more of a type of marking and guidance.
Once the soul flags and the Golden Crow Incinerating Heaven Saber were controlled by someone other than Three Foot Mountain, Three Foot Mountain and the people behind it would sense it.
It seemed that the other party already knew that the item had fallen into his hands.
Honestly speaking, Yan Zhaoge did not care much about Chen Kunhua.
While Chen Kunhua was actually a cultivation level higher than him as he was a mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, Chen Kunhua's cultivation base.
This was not arrogance.
As compared to the 'Earthly Young Master' Chen Kunhua, there was someone more worthy of Yan Zhaoge's attention.
This person was naturally the former 'Heavenly Young Master', the current Upper Exalt, Chen Qianhua.
If there were any variables sufficient to influence the overall situation in the upcoming Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony, this Upper Exalt would definitely be one of the top few.
Yan Zhaoge did not fear powerful enemies, but he hated the element of uncertainty.
Coincidentally, according to the many rumours circulating in the World beyond Worlds, Chen Qianhua, the number one expert beneath the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, just happened to be the person who was the most unpredictable.
Or rather, the most unstable factor.
For example, the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and other supreme beings, it was difficult for others to guess their thoughts, because they were shrewd and shrewd, not easily revealing their emotions.
But at the very least, according to their past experiences, there were clues to follow, and they could be summarized into a pattern.
Even if it was a disguise, at least there were clues.
There was only the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua who was temperamental and often acted unexpectedly, with many contradictions and abnormalities.
Even the few emperors couldn't grasp his thoughts.
Still, no matter how one put it, he was the most outstanding martial genius of the World beyond Worlds in recent years.
The other bigwigs all treated this peerlessly talented junior with a lot of preferential treatment.
While Chen Kunhua's title of 'Earthly Young Master' corresponded to his brother's title of 'Heavenly Young Master' that year, if not for the tacit approval of the Earthly Sovereign and Earthly Exalt of Kunlun Mountain's Southern High Peak's Qilin Cliff, this title of 'Earthly Young Master' would probably not have spread throughout the entire World beyond Worlds and become publicly acknowledged.
It was hard to say how much of this was due to Chen Kunhua's own talent and how much was due to his elder brother's reputation.
What Yan Zhaoge was interested in now was whether or not Chen Qianhua would come now that Chen Kunhua had come.
Amidst his thoughts, Yan Zhaoge arrived at Earth Earth Peak.
Apart from Chen Kunhua, many guests had already arrived at Broad Creed Mountain as well.
For example, martial practitioners of the Brocade Emperor's lineage at Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff had already arrived. They had not come late just because they were of the Brocade Emperor's lineage, instead arriving rather early.
Of course, it was not Fu Ting.
Yan Zhaoge who was well aware of the reason was not surprised.
Meanwhile, Pavilion Lord Gu Hong of the North Sea Sword Pavilion and Chief Zhou Haosheng of the Dim Darkness Sect had already arrived as well.
As compared to their previous united resistance against the Grand Xuan Dynasty, the other powers of the Royal Reed Sea had already tacitly acknowledged Broad Creed Mountain's position as the hegemon of the Royal Reed Sea.
Broad Creed Mountain's recruitment of disciples within the boundaries of the Royal Reed Sea this time had also received the tacit approval, even assistance, of the North Sea Sword Pavilion and the others.
This was the authority of a hegemon, having the greatest priority in selecting the most outstanding local geniuses.
The local geniuses would naturally wish to join the strongest power. Still, due to the great geographical distance and other factors, it would be very easy for them to be overlooked.
Meanwhile, Broad Creed Mountain had been able to select materials from the territories of the North Sea Sword Pavilion, the Dim Darkness Sect and the other powers this time. The possibility of an undiscovered gem appearing in the vast ocean was indisputably very small.
Of course, Broad Creed Mountain rarely went to the extreme. It was only during such a large-scale opening ceremony that they would recruit such talents on such a large scale. Still, such ceremonies would naturally not be held frequently.
Yan Zhaoge saw that Earthly Young Master in a side hall of the great hall.
He could be said to be handsome, his attitude amiable as one felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
It was rumoured that as compared to the elusive First Young Master Chen, this Second Young Master Chen was rather well-acquainted with many people in the World beyond Worlds.
"Please forgive me for coming uninvited," Chen Kunhua was also observing Yan Zhaoge. After appraising him for a moment, he cupped his hands, smiling.
Yan Zhaoge returned the greeting, "Our clan naturally welcomes you having come from afar. Please do not blame me for any lack of etiquette."
Playing with the fan in his hand, Chen Kunhua smiled, "It is me who has been presumptuous. I am someone who likes to make friends and join in on the fun. Your clan's opening ceremony is a rare event in recent years. My heart itched, I came here rashly. I have let Young Chief Yan see a joke."
"Make friends? Join in on the fun? "Yan Zhaoge glanced at Chen Kunhua.
The meaning behind his words was rather thought-provoking.
Make friends with whom?
Join in on the fun?
It seemed like it could be understood from any angle.
"Second Young Master Chen speaks too seriously. This Yan does not dare to accept the title of Young Chief. While my father is the current Chief, the position of our clan's Chief is not hereditary. The various seniors have yet to decide on the next Chief."
Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly, "I am used to being lazy. I fear that I would not be able to take on such a great responsibility."
Hearing his words, Chen Kunhua smiled, "I was rude. Please do not take it to heart, Young Master Yan. It is just that after seeing your esteemed father, you are clearly the most outstanding amongst your peers of the same generation. Therefore, I was moved. I hope that you will not take it to heart."
"Why would I? Earthly Young Master is too polite, "Yan Zhaoge smiled as well.
Their first meeting could still be considered pleasant on the surface.
Still, neither of them mentioned the matter of Three Foot Mountain.
From this alone, Yan Zhaoge knew that the other party might not have come just to observe the ceremony.
Still, if they had come with ill intentions, would the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua have come?
This was the crux of the matter.
