With the Northern Exalt as the center, rays of lights still enveloped the world. He seemed to be unaware of everything that was happening.
However, the old man's soul had already been completely destroyed.
His body sank downwards.
The shadow beneath his feet seemed to have turned into a bottomless swamp. It devoured his body and disappeared.
The rays of lights were transferred to the impostor. There was nothing abnormal about it.
"I can only maintain the current situation, but I can't control it." The impostor smiled, "However, it doesn't matter to me."
He stood quietly on the spot. The rays of lights around him gradually disappeared and returned to nothingness. The world in front of him returned to being a world of ice and snow.
After a short while, a sword-light streaked across the sky and arrived in front of the "Northern Exalt" in an instant.
The person who came was wearing a high crown and ancient clothes. His expression was solemn. He was the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei.
"There's a commotion in the Land of Tranquil Stream's outskirts?" Yue Zhenbei scanned the surroundings. The rays of lights surged again.
The "Northern Exalt" followed the etiquette and bowed towards Yue Zhenbei without any abnormalities. He answered, "A Great Devil changed his appearance and turned into the Broad Creed Mountain's Little Friend Feng's appearance. He attempted to deceive the barrier and barge into our World beyond Worlds. In the end, his whereabouts were exposed and he retreated."
"The Broad Creed Mountain's Little Friend Feng?" The Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei's gaze turned solemn.
The "Northern Exalt" nodded, "Yes. I suspect that he might have come into contact with Little Friend Feng in the Nine Underworlds. Or rather, he might have come into contact with the Exalted Rahu Luminary."
"This old man also wanted to investigate Little Friend Feng's whereabouts. Still, I did not dare to let her enter the World beyond Worlds. I had originally intended to delay her, waiting for you, the Sword Sovereign, to arrive before trying to capture her. Still, the other party was vigilant as well. After realising that this old man had already seen through her, she swiftly retreated."
Yue Zhenbei looked at the rays of lights in front of him and said, "It's better to be cautious when it comes to the Nine Underworlds. Your actions and judgment weren't wrong."
He turned his head and looked at the "Northern Exalt", "I'll have to trouble you to look after this place. No matter what happens in other areas, do not let your guard down regarding the Nine Underworlds."
"As you command, Sword Sovereign," answered the other party calmly.
Looking at the sword-light leaving, the 'Northern Exalt' smiled, "The North Star Empire's world has produced quite a number of outstanding youngsters."
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. After a while, his smile grew wider.
"Haha! Not only is the Gui Water here, even the Wu Earth is here. This trip is indeed worth it. However, let's clean up our backyard first."
The old man sat cross-legged on the snowy ground as usual, quietly looking at the faintly discernible domain cracks in the distance.
"Alright, little fellow, come back quickly." A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Your sect is about to encounter a great calamity, and they need you to rush back to face it together."
…
Within the Kunlun Mountain, Yan Zhaoge and the Astro Sovereign were currently in the Restful Immortal Valley, the cave manor of the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce.
"As expected, there are no traces left behind." After carefully inspecting the place, Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, not feeling disappointed.
At that moment, a sword light flew over from the north. After landing, it revealed the Sword Emperor's appearance.
"Senior apprentice-uncle Yue?" Yan Zhaoge and Astro Sovereign looked over at the same time.
The Sword Emperor shook his head, "A Great Demon transformed into a human form and attempted to sneak into the World beyond Worlds. Northern Guan wasn't fooled. That Great Demon left on his own before I arrived."
Since it was something that had nothing to do with him, he naturally wouldn't mention the possibility of the Great Demon transforming into Feng Yunsheng, which would make Yan Zhaoge worry.
"The Nine Underworlds are also getting restless." Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "Only, I don't know if they are acting on their own, or if they have made a deal with someone else."
Since ancient times, the Nine Underworlds had been the public enemy of the human world. Cooperating with the Nine Underworlds was no different from inviting a wolf into one's house.
However, the Nine Underworlds Great Demons weren't completely irrational and bloodthirsty.
Sometimes, they would also exchange benefits with others to achieve their own goals, instead of blindly eroding others with greed.
Of course, the premise was that the collaborator was strong enough. Otherwise, the collaborator would be eaten up by the Great Demon.
Thinking of the Nine Underworlds, Yan Zhaoge was a little worried.
Now, he had personally visited the Nine Underworlds several times, but he still couldn't find Feng Yunsheng's whereabouts.
Thinking about it, many years had passed since the two separated.
Now, Fallen Deity Yan Zhaoge's name could be said to have shaken the entire Dao universe. Not only in the World beyond Worlds, but also in the Roving Jade Heavens.
The number of fangirls who were eyeing on the position of his dao companion could probably encircle the entire Kunlun Mountain.
There were countless people who were openly or secretly proposing marriage, let alone the female disciples of the Broad Creed Mountain who were infatuated with him.
However, Yan Zhaoge had always been alone.
It wasn't that he didn't have any desires towards the matters between a man and a woman.
A fair and graceful lady is a gentleman's desire. This is human nature.
However, in Yan Zhaoge's perspective, the core attribute of love, or rather, the first attribute, was monopolization, followed by other attributes.
It was the same for others and oneself. It was the same for a man towards a woman, and a woman towards a man.
Monopolization didn't mean being exclusive.
Only, while he desired to monopolize the other party, if their feelings were deep to a certain extent, he would be willing to satisfy the other party's desire to monopolize him as well.
As such, he had always been searching and waiting for Feng Yunsheng.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. However, after being separated for such a long time, normally speaking, their feelings would have already faded.
What was left might only be a kind of obsession.
It was an obsession of wanting to see the other party no matter what. It was an obsession of wanting this relationship to have a conclusion.
There were only a few people who were as loving as Yan Di and Xue Chuqing.
As Yan Zhaoge thought about it carefully, he realized that Feng Yunsheng's voice and smile were still vivid in his heart, and it tugged at his heartstrings.
In this aspect, he was very similar to Yan Di.
However, after they met, he first had to properly teach this runaway wife of his, who had almost turned him into a wife stone.
"Am I being too insensitive?" Yan Zhaoge thought, trying to find joy in the midst of bitterness, "Wait, I seem to have overlooked something …"
"Oh, I remember now." The corner of his mouth twitched a little, "The Divinity Devil Bestowment … In the end, I'm not the one who failed to be a husband, and got beaten up instead, right?"
"Did you discover anything here?" Yue Zhenbei asked, and interrupted Yan Zhaoge's random thoughts.
Yan Zhaoge straightened his expression and looked around, "The Concealed Sovereign cleaned everything up very cleanly. It's within my expectations."
"However, after traveling around the World beyond Worlds again, I'm even more certain about one of my previous thoughts." He said softly, "The Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han might be trying to take advantage of the situation."
"Although I still don't understand, other than my mother's Area Latitude Formation, the Exalted Solar Luminary seems to have other arrangements. Everything is waiting for an opportunity."
After all, he hoped to use the Exalted Wood Luminary – Shao Junhuang's successor to lure the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang back to the World beyond Worlds.
Now that Suo Mingzhang had returned, the upcoming chaos in the World beyond Worlds might be the opportunity that Gao Han had been waiting for.
In the following period of time, Yan Zhaoge was planning his own arrangements while studying the Spatial Heavenly Scripture and Heart's Will Heavenly Scripture that he obtained from Suo Mingzhang and Chen Xuanzong.
At a certain moment, a piece of news arrived.
The Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen had finally returned to the World beyond Worlds.
