He Xixing and Li Junxin, who knew the truth, had extremely interesting expressions on their faces.
Li Junxin's first reaction was to look at He Xixing.
After He Xixing recovered from his initial shock, apart from embarrassment, he could only smile bitterly.
Yan Zhaoge and the three of them exchanged glances, all feeling deeply helpless.
The name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was a taboo existence to the entire World beyond Worlds.
Everyone in the know was tight-lipped and would not take the initiative to leak it.
Even when the Heaven Emperor and Zhuang Shen had been at loggerheads with Broad Creed Mountain and Golden Court Mountain back then, they had never had such thoughts.
On one hand, it was because they were all from the orthodox Daoism and were unwilling to let the Immortal Court and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord take advantage of them.
On the one hand, it was because this method was mutual. If you can do this to my people, I can also do the same to your people.
Therefore, besides the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua whose thoughts were hard to fathom, the other peak experts of the World beyond Worlds who were in the know all stood by this common understanding and bottom line.
Perhaps it was because he didn't take it to heart, or perhaps it was due to some other reason, the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua had never leaked any information regarding the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court.
Who would have thought that it would be the Brocade Emperor, Fu Yunchi, who was the first to cross the line today?
Li Junxin's expression was solemn and he did not say a word.
Yan Zhaoge could generally understand his feelings. As the saying went, getting shot while passing by was precisely this.
"I still have to inform the Earth Exalt about what happened today as soon as possible," Yan Zhaoge sighed.
Li Junxin nodded silently. After a while, he said, "I will return to the Qilin Cliff to report to my master and inform His Majesty, the Concealed Sovereign. I will have to trouble the two of you to look after this place for the time being."
After calming himself down, he turned around and headed north.
Yan Zhaoge forced a smile as he looked at He Xixing, "Can I ask Fellow Daoist He to help me look after this place?"
"The place that the Brocade Emperor will be heading to next is precisely the lower world where my Broad Creed Mountain originates, the Eight Extremities World."
"My Broad Creed Mountain is currently in charge of that place. Still, in order to avoid neglecting the Brocade Emperor, this Yan should still personally make a trip there."
He said, "I will invite the Southeastern Exalt over to oversee this matter first. When Kunlun Mountain receives the news, we will see what arrangements we can make in the future."
He Xixing cupped his hands towards Yan Zhaoge, "Just go ahead, Daoist Yan. This He will not shirk his responsibility."
At this moment, he had completely calmed down. Although he was also a victim and his future was uncertain, he was as calm and capable as before.
As a direct descendant of the Grand Clear direct lineage, He Xi possessed outstanding strength as well as being an expert of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm. As he currently sat over Star Reflecting Lake, the people here were naturally immediately recruited and controlled, not allowing them to leak out.
Although the people who were left behind were slightly dissatisfied with his appearance, they all endured it.
This matter involved a Great Emperor, and it was a taboo for a group of people to spy on the situation.
It was only natural that he had been left behind by those of the Brocade Emperor's lineage to await his punishment.
After taking his leave of He Xixing, Yan Zhaoge quickly headed east, heading straight for the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
The wound of the sky that connected the World beyond Worlds to the Eight Extremities World was located in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Royal Reed Sea's Spirit Inheritance Region, at the back mountain of the current Broad Creed Mountain.
If ordinary people wanted to head to the Eight Extremities World from the World beyond Worlds, if they did not have an accurate spatial marker, they would only be able to pass through the wound of the sky at the back mountain of Broad Creed Mountain.
However, to a True Immortal Emperor, normal rules might not be applicable.
Still, who knew how the Brocade Emperor would go to the Eight Extremities World.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge could only first return to Broad Creed Mountain in the Royal Reed Sea as soon as possible.
Moreover, the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua seemed to want to join in on the fun.
Having never truly met him face to face, Yan Zhaoge's understanding of Chen Qianhua was limited to some rumours.
Meeting him for the first time today, his words had caused Yan Zhaoge to instinctively feel that this person was probably not easy to deal with.
"This matter was already hard to predict in the first place. Now, many more variables have arisen," Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, lightly rubbing his temples.
After a long and arduous journey, Yan Zhaoge passed Circumference Mountain and returned to the Royal Reed Sea.
Upon returning to Broad Creed Mountain and seeing that nothing seemed out of the ordinary, Yan Zhaoge's heart was at least half at ease.
Descending to the top of Heaven Rising Peak, he saw Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun emerging from the great hall.
Looking at Fang Zhun, Yan Zhaoge inwardly sighed in relief.
Due to his reminder, Fang Zhun had first left Star Reflecting Lake and returned to Broad Creed Mountain.
Wanting to obstruct the Brocade Emperor's footsteps was naturally not too realistic. Other than informing his fellow disciples of Broad Creed Mountain in the Royal Reed Sea, Fang Zhun had more importantly informed those of Broad Creed Mountain in the Eight Extremities World.
This was lest someone unknowingly offend the Brocade Emperor.
After all, with Meng Wan having travelled with the Brocade Emperor, many Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners recognised this Maiden of Extreme Yin of the Sacred Sun Clan that year.
In the end, Fang Zhun had managed to avoid a tribulation as he had not been as unlucky as He Xixing, Li Junxin and the others.
"Zhaoge, having personally come back, does this mean that the Brocade Emperor is really coming?" Yuan Zhengfeng asked.
Yan Zhaoge clicked his tongue, "The Brocade Emperor is ahead of me."
He looked at Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun, "From the looks of it, he did not come. Even if he did, he did not alarm our clan."
"While the Brocade Emperor possesses a high cultivation base, we would naturally not be able to discover him if he really wanted to conceal his tracks." Fang Zhun shook his head, "Still, with his status and identity, he would not be able to hide himself before our clan."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "That is indeed so."
He paused for a moment before asking, "Then, what about the Upper Exalt?"
While they had not interacted much, from Chen Qianhua's earlier actions, Yan Zhaoge felt that it was likely that he would casually enter Broad Creed Mountain and head to the Eight Extremities World.
"The Upper Exalt has been drawn in as well?" Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun both shook their heads, "At least, we have not seen him."
Yan Zhaoge pondered as he strode towards Water Ridge Peak.
The wound of the sky that led to the Eight Extremities World was precisely beneath Water Ridge Peak.
"I remember that Meng Wan's Master in the Sacred Sun Clan, Chen Mingying, joined Turbid Wave Pavilion that year?" Yan Zhaoge confirmed this with Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun as he walked, "Is she still there now?"
Fang Zhun nodded, "She is."
When the Sacred Sun Clan had been destroyed by Yan Zhaoge that year, its martial practitioners had either died or dispersed.
Some had secluded themselves in the countryside while others had joined other Sacred Grounds and sects of the Eight Extremities World.
Elder Chen Mingying could be considered a renowned expert of the Sacred Sun Clan's senior generation as well as Meng Wan's Master. Therefore, Broad Creed Mountain had paid attention to her whereabouts.
In the underwater palace of the Clear Scenic Region that day, Feng Yunsheng and Meng Wan had engaged in a fated battle to decide the ownership of the Extreme Yin Crown.
At that time, Feng Yunsheng had told Meng Wan that her Master, Chen Mingying, was still alive.
In this world, there were only two people whom Meng Wan could truly befriend. One was Feng Yunsheng and the other was Chen Mingying.
It was only in front of them that Meng Wan was her truest self.
Now that she had a chance to return to the Eight Extremities World, Meng Wan naturally wanted to see her Master whom she had always been concerned about.
Yan Zhaoge arrived beneath Water Ridge Peak, opening the sealed wound of the sky and stepping within.
