If possible, Yan Zhaoge actually hoped that Fu Ting would leave Ingenious Flying Peak and hide in the Restful Immortal Valley or somewhere else.
He believed that it would naturally be Fu Ting's turn after the Brocade Emperor had dealt with Meng Wan's matter.
Still, all of this was just a guess. Before the Brocade Emperor actually acted, no one could be certain of what this Emperor wanted to do.
Having comprehended the legacies of the Grand Clear lineage for many years, those of Ingenious Flying Peak all understood the current situation.
They believed that Fu Ting and the others would eventually make their own judgement and decision.
Yan Zhaoge's current attention was still placed on Feng Yunsheng and Meng Wan.
With two Emperors descending upon the northern Profound Heaven Territory, things would naturally not be peaceful here.
The Northern Exalt had long since come out to welcome the Brocade Emperor and the Encompassing Emperor.
If it was said that it had only been out of courtesy in the past, he was now extremely cautious.
What had happened at the southern Blazing Heaven Territory's Star Reflecting Lake had only been spread amongst the higher echelons as it had not been widely spread.
Still, the Northern Exalt was naturally aware of it as he was naturally wary of the current Brocade Emperor.
This was also Yan Zhaoge's first time truly seeing this Lord of the North, Guan Yuluo's grandfather.
A total of seven Exalts of Ten Territories had attended Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony in the Royal Reed Sea.
Besides the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua and the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, only the Northern Exalt was absent.
Afterwards, the identities of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di had been announced, shocking the entire World beyond Worlds.
Yet, the Northern Exalt still showed no signs of activity. While he was not hostile like the Western Exalt Lang Qing and the others, he did not show any signs of closeness either.
This was rather similar to the Northern Exalt's usual style.
Of the Ten Exalts, the Northern Exalt was probably the most low-key one.
His style was somewhat similar to that of the Female Emperor as he seldom interacted with outsiders.
This was not completely without reason.
Yan Zhaoge actually had a very good impression of him.
This was because the Northern Exalt had always maintained a neutral stance regarding the matter of his mother, Xue Chuqing. He had also restrained those of Cloud Pavilion Mountain's Profound Remnant Locale from participating in it.
While he had not taken care of everything, this was already a form of goodwill from the Northern Exalt.
The northern Profound Heaven Territory's Cloud Pavilion Mountain's Profound Remnant Locale had always been renowned for its divination, with the Northern Exalt being a peak expert amongst them.
If he and his disciples had participated in the capture, Xue Chuqing's escape would have become incredibly difficult, especially when Xue Chuqing's cultivation level was still low back then.
Even though Xue Chuqing possessed half of the River Diagram to protect herself, there were too many places where she needed to use it.
Even if the peak experts were restraining one another and the Northern Exalt would not personally make a move, with a great number of Profound Remnant Locale disciples participating in the capture, it would be very easy for Xue Chuqing to attend to one thing and lose sight of another, greatly increasing the risk of her concealment.
It was precisely because they were proficient in this that the Northern Exalt's lineage had always kept a low profile, rarely participating in the various disputes.
"Yan Zhaoge greets the Northern Exalt." Seeing the Northern Exalt, Yan Zhaoge bowed, "It has been some time since I last saw Miss Guan. How is she?"
Just from external appearances alone, the Northern Exalt was probably the most inconspicuous of the Ten Exalts.
His appearance was haggard, and he was old. His eyes were turbid, and he even seemed a little deaf. His spirit was nowhere to be seen, as if he could pass away at any time.
Amongst the Ten Exalts, the oldest and most senior was undoubtedly the Earth Exalt, Wang Zhengcheng.
Next was the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu. Of course, he was still much younger than Wang Zhengcheng.
Next was the Northern Exalt.
It was just that from external appearances alone, the older Liu Zhenggu instead looked younger than the Northern Exalt as he was ferocious, authoritative, and spirited.
After exchanging greetings with Yan Zhaoge, the Brocade Emperor and the Encompassing Emperor, the Northern Exalt smiled, "This little girl is a little crazy. Little Friend Yan, please don't laugh at her."
Yan Zhaoge said, "Not at all. It is all thanks to Miss Guan's enthusiasm that this Yan was able to find out the general whereabouts of my wife."
The Northern Exalt was naturally aware of his intentions in coming to the northern Profound Heaven Territory having already communicated with Cloud Pavilion Mountain's Profound Remnant Locale beforehand.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Little Friend Yan, Little Friend Fu, the two of you should first make preparations. The dimensional passageway that Little Friend Feng used to head to extradimensional space this time has probably really been corroded by the Nine Underworlds, becoming a land of tranquil stream."
The so-called land of tranquil stream was not a domain of the Nine Underworlds as it had been formed from the corrosion of space by the Nine Underworlds.
The power of the Nine Underworlds was strange and domineering as it would corrode any world whether it was tangible or intangible.
Still, extradimensional space was chaotic and complex as it was not easy for the Nine Underworlds to corrode it. An extremely long period of time would be required before it could truly become a part of itself.
Before that, space that had been tainted by the devilish qi of the Nine Underworlds could still not be considered a true land of the Nine Underworlds.
Therefore, it was called a tranquil stream as it could generally be considered a grey area between the Nine Underworlds and the great thousand worlds of the universe, being different from the crevices of the Nine Underworlds that were commonly known to corrode worlds.
After having received advance notice of Yan Zhaoge and the Brocade Emperor's intentions in coming here, the Northern Exalt who had not personally made a move for many years had performed a divination.
With the difference in cultivation bases between him and Feng Yunsheng, it should have been easy for him to divine her whereabouts under normal circumstances.
Even if Feng Yunsheng was in extradimensional space and unable to accurately pinpoint her location, he would still be able to find out the general direction.
Still, the divination was chaotic and unclear.
The result was obvious.
"I understand. Many thanks for the Northern Exalt's advice," Yan Zhaoge inhaled deeply, cupping his hands towards the Northern Exalt.
Meng Wan looked rather nervously at her father as the Brocade Emperor said, "Let's go take a look."
The Northern Exalt said, "This old man will accompany the two Majesties to the Extreme Northern Lands and wait there to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
The Encompassing Emperor looked calmly at the Northern Exalt, nodding towards him.
They immediately set off, quickly arriving at the icy and snowy lands of the Extreme Northern Lands.
Following the clues that Feng Yunsheng had left behind, they searched together as they finally gradually settled on an area.
The Brocade Emperor raised a hand, the world before them instantly changing.
The all-encompassing wind and snow and the pure icy plains all turned illusory as it was as if the real heavens and earth had become a flat image.
This was a variation of the Grand Clear supreme martial art, the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form.
While the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form possessed outstanding defensive power, it was not a purely defensive technique.
It possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities, naturally possessing boundless miraculous uses.
It was just that the Brocade Emperor was currently the only one in the World beyond Worlds who possessed such profound attainments.
As everyone gazed over, they saw a few black lines vaguely drifting amidst the heavens and earth that seemed to have transformed into a painting of mountains and rivers.
It was as if the painting had been torn apart and repaired afterwards.
Before the Brocade Emperor had executed this technique, one would not have been able to see these marks in the normal heavens and earth.
Those were the dimensional crevices that would occasionally appear and vanish very quickly here.
After carefully inspecting for a moment, the Northern Exalt's gaze fell on one of the black lines, "It should be here."
Following the Northern Exalt's gaze, Yan Zhaoge and the others all nodded slowly.
"Let's go," The Brocade Emperor retracted his hand, the illusory scenes of the heavens and earth before him returning to reality.
As the scenes of the heavens and earth regained their original state, the entrance to a dimensional passageway appeared on the icy plains.
Gazing in from the outside, it was pitch black as it resembled a black hole with bolts of lightning flickering within, indistinctly visible at times.
