The Brocade Emperor's tone was relaxed, but it caused the Encompassing Emperor to glance at him again.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge now slowly ceased his cultivation, the starlight emitted by the acupoints of his entire body gradually retracted, returning to his body.
He opened his eyes, smiling as he looked at the Brocade Emperor and the Encompassing Emperor, "This Yan has been impetuous. I have incurred your ridicule."
The Brocade Emperor and the Encompassing Emperor both said, "It is fine."
Meng Wan smiled from the side, "Congratulations to senior apprentice-brother Yan for advancing further in your cultivation."
"Junior Sister Meng, you're too polite." Yan Zhaoge stood up, looking at the devilish palace of flame before him as he said, "This place already has no more value."
The group exited the palace constructed of flames. The Encompassing Emperor pondered and said, "Little Friend Feng is being coerced by the Exalted Rahu Luminary into venturing deeper into the Nine Underworlds. At the same time, it would be hard for him to leave behind any clues for us. If we continue forward, not only will it be hard for us to gain anything, the risk will also greatly increase."
After all, there were still many Great Demons in the Nine Underworlds.
The Encompassing Emperor looked at Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan, "This old man means that we should return to the World beyond Worlds and report this to the Three Sovereigns, asking them to make a decision and consider this matter at length."
"When the time comes, if we want to search the depths of the Nine Underworlds again, with His Majesty the Three Sovereigns leading the way, it will be easier for us to enter deeper into the Nine Underworlds."
Hearing this, Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "Thank you, Encompassing Emperor, for understanding this Yan's feelings. I am not someone who does not know the gravity of things. Blindly entering the Nine Underworlds without any clues would be no different from sending a sheep into a tiger's den. While I am worried about my wife, it is hard for me to think of anything now."
"Your Majesty, your words are wise and prudent. I have no objections."
Meng Wan, who was at the side, also said, "We shouldn't have troubled you to this point. It's all up to you and father to decide. Junior will naturally comply."
The Encompassing Emperor said, "You are too polite, Little Friend Fu. I have gained a lot from my trip to the Nine Underworlds this time. If not for this trip, I would not have known that the Exalted Rahu Luminary had actually done such a great thing."
He looked at the Brocade Emperor who smiled, "There are still some regrets in the end. Still, it is difficult for things to always go according to one's wishes. I believe that this is also fate."
The gazes of Yan Zhaoge and the Encompassing Emperor flickered slightly upon hearing this as their gazes shifted between the Brocade Emperor and Meng Wan.
The group didn't stay any longer. They left the Flame Demon Palace and tried to go back the way they came.
Along the way, Yan Zhaoge paid attention to the Brocade Emperor's movements.
Still, from the looks of things, the Brocade Emperor seemed to be doing as per normal.
The abnormality came from the outside world!
As Yan Zhaoge and the others retraced their steps, halfway through their journey away from the Nine Underworlds, an intense feeling of unease suddenly arose within their hearts!
In the boundless darkness, killing intent lurked everywhere!
All of a sudden, a majestic wave swept over and struck them head-on!
That terrifying aura seemed to surpass that of a Perfected Immortal expert who had already pushed open the Gate of Immortality.
The first thought that flashed through the minds of Yan Zhaoge and the others was that while they had tried their best to keep a low profile, they had still ended up alerting even more powerful devils of the Nine Underworlds.
But then, a loud voice reverberated in the void, "Where is Yin Tianxia's successor?"
"This Emperor can clearly sense the aura of the orthodox Dim Radiant Twelve Arts originating from that Immortal Artifact left behind by Yin Tianxia."
"Emperors of the Immortal Court." The Encompassing Emperor's expression suddenly darkened, "There's more than one!"
Yan Zhaoge's pupils dilated slightly, "Why would a Sovereign of the Immortal Court appear in the Nine Underworlds? Did you discover me and the Dim Radiant Wheel by chance, or … "
His thoughts flashed at lightning speed as he suddenly swivelled his head to look at the Brocade Emperor.
He saw that the Brocade Emperor had a calm expression on his face as he smiled, "While the Sovereigns of the Immortal Court are powerful, they are still inferior to the Three Sovereigns of my orthodox Daoism at the end of the day. While Daoist Li and I dare not say that we can win, we should still be able to hold them off for a while. Let's not get entangled in battle and try to make use of the geography of the Nine Underworlds to shake them off."
The Encompassing Emperor shot a deep glance at the Brocade Emperor before saying decisively, "Let's leave first!"
He swept his black sleeve, bringing along Yan Zhaoge as he fled in another direction.
The Brocade Emperor did the same as he brought along Meng Wan and sped away.
Amidst the frenzied tides behind them, a second voice resounded, "Li Jun, Fu Yunchi, must things really go to such an ugly extent?"
"You were the one who obstructed us first. It should be this old man who finds it strange," The Encompassing Emperor said, "Is the Immortal Court going to break the agreement?"
The first voice resounded, "Don't try to quibble. Yin Tianxia brought about his own destruction, and his descendants are also guilty of unforgivable crimes! This is the agreement. If you want to stop us today, do not blame this Emperor for not giving you any face! "
The Encompassing Emperor said mildly, "We can only offend you then."
As he said this, he did not cease in his footsteps as he transformed into a streak of light, traversing the heavy darkness of the Nine Underworlds with the Brocade Emperor by his side.
Yan Zhaoge did not mind being brought along by the Encompassing Emperor as he observed the Brocade Emperor beside him while looking behind him.
There, roiling yellow sand had actually arisen amidst space which had previously been dim and filled with devilish qi.
Waves of sand that surged to the heavens roiled unceasingly over the vast ocean that spanned ten thousand li as they pursued Yan Zhaoge's group.
Meanwhile, a phoenix soared above the ocean of sand.
It was unlike the fire phoenixes that Yan Zhaoge was already used to seeing from the lineage of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope in the World beyond Worlds.
This phoenix was shockingly an ice phoenix.
It was small and petite, merely six feet tall if it stood upright.
Its wings spread wide, it seemed inconspicuous as it resembled a tiny white dot in the air above the ocean of sand.
Still, the power emanating from it was more than a hundred times greater than that of Zhuang Shen who had been a Human Exalt in the past.
Zhuang Shen was truly like a firefly compared to the sun and moon.
"In pre-Great Calamity times, there was once an Ice Phoenix Emperor who passed down the Ice Phoenix Nirvana Scripture." Yan Zhaoge's eyes narrowed into slits, "In the current Immortal Court, there are already experts of the Ice Phoenix Nirvana Scripture who can be called Sovereigns. While it is a legacy of the Immortal Court, it is still extraordinary."
Instead, as Yan Zhaoge recalled the roiling ocean of sand, he was unable to find a matching supreme martial art.
There were a few that seemed similar yet were not completely the same.
From the looks of it, it was possible that it was like the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, a supreme martial art that had only been born after the Great Calamity as it had been derived from the crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors.
While the foundation of martial practitioners of the Immortal Court lay in the treasured light of the power of faith, there were still many outstanding geniuses amongst them at the end of the day.
The two of them chased each other, fighting and moving at the same time.
The Encompassing Emperor and the Brocade Emperor no longer cared about keeping a low profile and concealing their tracks. Their intense battle instantly drew the attention of the devils of the Nine Underworlds as more and more devils began approaching.
Finally, a similarly terrifying aura arrived from the distance. Frenzied, evil howls resounded deafeningly as a great devil of the Nine Underworlds that was comparable to Immortal realm experts had finally been drawn over!
While they had no intention of working together, the experts of the Immortal Court and the great devils had formlessly formed a pincer attack.
As the great devils obstructed the path of Yan Zhaoge's group, the two Sovereigns of the Immortal Court instantly made use of this chance to catch up.
The Encompassing Emperor flicked his sleeve, releasing Yan Zhaoge as the Brocade Emperor similarly released Meng Wan.
The two of them began to fully focus on battling with their opponents as Yan Zhaoge retreated to the side along with Meng Wan.
The chaotic battle between the three sides immediately caused the heavens and earth to overturn in this devilish domain of the Nine Underworlds.
