Arriving at Yuanzhou City at the same time as the Brocade Emperor was not within Yan Zhaoge's predictions.
The purple aura in the sky rippled slightly. It was obvious that the other party was also surprised.
A black-clothed man appeared amidst the purple sea of clouds. His features were handsome to the point of being incomparably handsome, his demeanour dazzling. It was none other than the Brocade Emperor.
Black-clothed Brocade Emperor.
His expression was indifferent, and his eyes were calm like water without the slightest fluctuation. He simply didn't seem like a living being that was filled with intelligence.
Or, it should be said that they did have "intelligence", and they were above the masses.
However, it was not agile.
So much so that when he looked at others, it was as if he was observing and sizing up lifeless existences.
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor was currently looking at Yan Zhaoge.
Ever since their parting in the Nine Underworlds, this was the second time Yan Zhaoge had met this black-clothed Brocade Emperor who had switched to the unfeeling dao.
In order to help the Sword Sovereign accumulate power, Yan Zhaoge had often intentionally or unintentionally made his figure fade in the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion.
Therefore, while the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was famed throughout the World beyond Worlds, most people were not very clear on the exact relationship between them.
Most people were also very unfamiliar with the relationship between Xiao Ai and Yan Zhaoge.
Still, the higher echelon experts of the World beyond Worlds all knew that the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion which had caused such great waves in the World beyond Worlds was precisely Yan Zhaoge's handiwork.
It was all thanks to the Yan Family's Banished Immortal that dozens of long-lost treasures were able to reappear.
While the black-clothed Brocade Emperor did not reside in the World beyond Worlds, he clearly understood this very well.
He was currently appraising Yan Zhaoge even more carefully than when they had first met in the Nine Underworlds.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual as he did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest despite being stared at by a True Immortal.
"The Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion is greatly honoured by the visit of the black-clothed Brocade Emperor." He cupped his hands in greeting, saying indifferently, "Whatever treasure Your Majesty has taken a liking to, you can just ask your disciples to come over. For you to personally come, this Yan is overwhelmed by the favor."
Hearing Yan Zhaoge's way of addressing him, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor stopped observing. Still, his expression did not change in the slightest.
"Does the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion have what I want?" The black-clothed Brocade Emperor asked calmly.
The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth arched upwards slightly, but there was no smiling intent within his gaze, "The thing that Your Majesty wants the most is naturally there. Still, Your Majesty is destined to be unable to pay the price. Therefore, Your Majesty should settle for the next best thing, considering other options. That way, you won't return empty-handed."
Hearing Yan Zhaoge's sharp reply, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor was not angered as he remained indifferent, "There is no need to be in such a hurry to refuse. It is still too early to say whether I will be able to get what I want."
"Still, if the Brocade Emperor wishes to inspect the goods today, I'm afraid that you will still be disappointed," Yan Zhaoge said as he observed the black-clothed Brocade Emperor.
The other party was unperturbed. "It doesn't matter. Since I'm here, I naturally won't miss out on today's grand occasion. Speaking of which, it's rare in recent years."
Yan Zhaoge spoke no further as he nodded slowly, "Those who have come are guests. Please come in, Brocade Emperor."
The two of them descended to Yuanzhou City and arrived at the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries.
With the Brocade Emperor's status, be it friend or foe, he would naturally be treated as an esteemed guest before they had completely fallen out.
The token plate of Ingenious Flying Peak in the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries was of a very high grade in the first place.
Having developed for the past three years, the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries had long since been properly trained in etiquette and manpower. A receptionist led the Brocade Emperor to a private room where he could be seated.
Yan Zhaoge naturally had a place to go as well.
Xiao Ai, Ah Hu and Qiu Jiahai had long since been waiting there. Even Wang Pu was present as he asked upon seeing him enter, "What is the purpose of this black-clothed Brocade Emperor's visit?"
"It is still unclear. Still, it can be confirmed that he has come with ill intentions and wants to cause trouble." After sitting down, Yan Zhaoge sipped on his tea as he said, "Still, seeing how he is not making a move now, I feel that he is probably not the only one who wants to cause trouble."
The expressions of Wang Pu and the others all turned solemn.
"Should we inform junior apprentice-brother Nie to come over?" Qiu Jiahai asked.
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "It is still uncertain what the other party wants to do now. It is best for senior apprentice-brother Nie to remain unmoved. It is just that I would like to ask him to shift his position and not remain in the Region of Thousand Lakes. The southern Blazing Heaven Territory is currently not the main focus. It would be better for senior apprentice-brother Nie to temporarily move to the area between the central Jun Heaven Territory and the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory."
Wang Pu and Qiu Jiahai both nodded slowly before Wang Pu said, "The white-clothed Brocade Emperor cannot be contacted, and there is no news from Ingenious Flying Peak either."
With the black-clothed Brocade Emperor here, the most suitable person to deal with him would naturally be his old enemy, the white-clothed Brocade Emperor.
With the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag currently in the hands of the white-clothed Brocade Emperor, if no other Immortal Realm experts intervened to help him, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor would only be able to avoid him wherever he appeared.
Previously, the two Brocade Emperors had competed with one another, spending most of their time in extradimensional space.
Now that the black-clothed Brocade Emperor had returned to the World beyond Worlds, Yan Zhaoge and the others would naturally think of a way to inform the white-clothed Brocade Emperor to return as well.
"Family Head said that Miss Fu is temporarily unable to contact that white-clothed Brocade Emperor as well," Ah Hu hurriedly answered now.
Yan Zhaoge put a hand on his forehead, "It doesn't feel like a coincidence. It seems like something must have happened that has hindered the white-clothed Brocade Emperor. Could this be one of the reasons why the black-clothed Brocade Emperor has the confidence to swagger over to the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion?"
Everyone exchanged looks, all feeling as though a great, formless net was currently enveloping them.
Yan Zhaoge was not flustered as he was just rather hesitant, "What exactly is their goal? Is it really here at the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion? "
… …
In a lower world, a group of martial practitioners was currently congregating, heading towards the wound of the sky that led to the World beyond Worlds.
The ruler of this lower world was known as the Rinsing Flower Sect.
The Rinsing Flower Sect originated from this lower world, later establishing its foundation at Fog Tea Mountain in the eastern Vast Heaven Territory of the World beyond Worlds.
Every few years, the Rinsing Flower Sect of the World beyond Worlds' Fog Tea Mountain would send a batch of disciples to that lower world. On one hand, they would maintain their control over it, and on the other, they would temper themselves.
Now, a new batch of disciples had already descended to the lower world. Meanwhile, the previous batch of disciples who had been stationed there earlier would be allowed to return to the World beyond Worlds.
The previous batch of disciples was naturally overjoyed.
Still, someone was dissatisfied, "I heard from the new senior apprentice-sister that the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion is currently holding its third anniversary celebration. Sadly, we won't be able to make it in time."
Everyone else laughed, "Only our Chief and the Elders of our Rinsing Flower Sect can participate in such a grand occasion. Even if you were in the World beyond Worlds before this, what does that have to do with you?"
"Chief and the Elders will definitely bring their disciples along to serve them. Why can't we have the chance to go along and broaden our horizons?" The first person retorted.
Everyone laughed and talked amongst themselves, actually not really taking it seriously.
There was only one female disciple who seemed to agree with everyone on the surface, though her gaze was slightly lost in thought.
"I really never thought that husband, Zhaoge and the others would actually be able to accomplish such great things," She thought leisurely, yet sighed, "Sadly, I still cannot go see you."
While it seemed like the time was already ripe for their family to reunite, with someone in the World beyond Worlds able to protect her and give her a place to stay,
Still, having lived as a fugitive for so many years, this woman was very vigilant as she did not relax at all.
This was because she did not wish to bring trouble to Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di who had just managed to establish themselves with much difficulty.
She would rather suffer a little.
Still …
"I never thought that husband would actually be the son of the Exalted Gold Luminary." The woman's brows knit together as she was concerned about something else, "The Exalted Gold Luminary is of the same generation as my Great Grand Master. Doesn't that mean that I'm two whole generations younger than husband?"
"What kind of joke is this?!"
