"I've never doubted that such a day will come, although I don't know if I can see it." Xue Chuqing smiled.
She stood up and bade farewell to Yan Zhaoge and Shao Junhuang, "Since you're back, I'll return this place to you. I'll return to the Bright Connection Valley and pay my respects to Grand Master."
Compared to Shao Junhuang and Hu Yuexin, Xue Chuqing's master was still the closest to her.
Although her expression was gloomy, her emotions were still considered calm.
However, Hu Yuexin's slough had returned from the void's outskirts. As her grand-disciple, she naturally had to pay her respects and take care of her.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng sent Xue Chuqing off the mountain. Looking at her disappearing back, Feng Yunsheng sighed, "The Exalted Wood Luminary's lineage only had one heir, but they still continued to wither. When it came to Grandma's generation, the tragedy didn't happen anymore."
"This was the result of the previous generations. However, it's still not enough. This is only the beginning," said Yan Zhaoge slowly.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes, "In the past, my mother was also in danger. If not for my father and I being vigilant, as well as the help of Jade Capital Crag's senior apprentice-brother Nie and senior apprentice-brother Wang, who knows what would have happened."
Feng Yunsheng had heard about the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng's plan to capture the crane from Yan Zhaoge. She knew the details.
"Wang Zhengcheng, Daoist Oneheaven, Black-clothed Brocade Emperor were killed. Chen Qianhua and the Heavenly Emperor were the key figures." She frowned, "If not for Chen Qianhua, who possessed the Origin Heavenly Scripture, Wang Zhengcheng and the others wouldn't have found Grandma so easily. I still haven't settled the score with him, and he's here to cause trouble again."
Yan Zhaoge said coldly, "He better not fall into my hands. Otherwise, I'll let him know what's worse than death."
"After that day, he disappeared without a trace. He possessed the Origin Heavenly Scripture. It's easy for him to find others, but it's hard for us to find him."
"When we first entered the Pill Hall, he tried to take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, I was busy dealing with the hall spirit – Awakened Sky, and he escaped. Otherwise, today's incident wouldn't have happened."
Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, "This scoundrel is indeed slippery. This time, he didn't even enter the Starry River Tributary. Otherwise, I would have taken care of him on the spot."
"You've struck him down from the Immortal Realm and covered his entire body with Dao injuries. Even if he wants to cultivate again, it would be extremely difficult. There's a high chance that he would die under the Immortal Mortal Tribulation." Feng Yunsheng said.
"First teach him a lesson, and collect some interest." Yan Zhaoge chuckled.
Feng Yunsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Nine Underworlds Ancient Devil was summoned by Li Xingba, it might not be unrelated to Chen Qianhua. Just like what you've said, he had once entered the Nine Underworlds."
"Do you think it's possible that he …"
As Feng Yunsheng said this, she looked rather hesitantly at Yan Zhaoge.
"It's not impossible, but it's not certain." Yan Zhaoge could hear the hidden meaning within her words. He nodded and said, "Whether he falls to the devil or not, that bastard doesn't care about it."
After a slight pause, Yan Zhaoge seemed to have recalled something, "When living beings other than the Nine Underworlds Evil Devils fall to the devil, it's usually due to a certain obsession or evil intent within their heart being too strong. In the end, it would surpass a certain limit and transform into a devilish intent. In the end, the devilish qi of the Nine Underworlds intersects with one another, transforming into an Evil Devil."
"Rather than saying that Chen Qianhua might fall to the devil, it's more accurate to say that he's a devil amongst humans."
Yan Zhaoge squinted his eyes and said, "If he doesn't fall to the devil and doesn't mind being associated with devils, even the Nine Underworlds wouldn't treat him as a normal person. To him, even if he becomes a devil, it's more of a ritual than a fact."
"However, the moment he falls to the devil, it might help him heal his injuries. In fact, it might even allow him to challenge the Immortal Mortal Tribulation," said Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge raised his head and looked towards the sky, "Let's find a chance to get rid of him."
He looked back at Feng Yunsheng, "How much longer can you suppress yourself?"
"Under normal circumstances, a thousand years shouldn't be a problem," said Feng Yunsheng, "As long as I don't encounter a Grand Heavenly Realm opponent like this time."
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "I can foresee it. At the very least, I might encounter it again."
Feng Yunsheng nodded, "The Exalted Water Luminary, Senior Chu, and Little Jun and his mother."
"Other than this time, the Nine Underworlds had been too quiet for the past few years." Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "The battle between the heretics and the war between the Demon Race and the Western Pure Lands gave us an opportunity. At the same time, it loosened the shackles on the Nine Underworlds."
He turned his head and looked at Feng Yunsheng, "This time, the Ancient Devil came to the Starry River Tributary to make things difficult for us. Now that I think about it, his goal might not be to achieve something. Instead, he's trying to probe us."
"Probing …" Feng Yunsheng muttered to herself.
Not only was he trying to probe her, but he was also trying to probe the reactions of the other bigwig experts.
"The result of the probe might be a retreat. Or …" Feng Yunsheng looked at Yan Zhaoge, "A large-scale operation?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded lightly, "From the looks of it, I think the latter is more likely."
Feng Yunsheng's expression turned solemn. However, she wasn't worried about herself, "As for the Exalted Water Luminary …"
"Let's wait patiently." Yan Zhaoge said softly, "Danger, danger. Danger is also an opportunity. This might be our chance to solve our problem. It all depends on whether we can grasp it or not."
Feng Yunsheng said, "Unfortunately, Senior Chu's whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise, we could've decided on the location ourselves. That Starry River Tributary is a decent location. It'll be beneficial for you to unleash your full potential."
"Let's do it according to the situation." Yan Zhaoge smiled and said, "It's Li Xingba's fault for being unlucky. However, I've benefited from it."
As he spoke, Yan Zhaoge took out a dark-yellow pearl and held it in his palm. It was Li Xingba's treasure – the Earth Splitting Pearl.
"Breaking through earth with earth. True to its name." Yan Zhaoge praised, "No wonder he still came looking for trouble after knowing that I have the Later Earth Text."
Feng Yunsheng was also surprised and asked, "Did you gain anything else?"
As if Yan Zhaoge suddenly recalled something, the corner of his mouth curled up, "Of course."
"Not only did I gain something, but it's also an unexpected surprise."
After keeping the Earth Splitting Pearl, he flipped his palm, and numerous crane feathers appeared.
"That Crane Demon's feathers are quite valuable. However …"
Yan Zhaoge's other palm had an additional silk ribbon that was flickering with radiance.
"… However, all of the feathers added together can't compare to this." As he spoke, he squinted his eyes.
After feeling the silk ribbon's aura, Feng Yunsheng went into deep thought, "Is this the root of its innate divine ability that can dispel its opponent's techniques that you mentioned before?"
"That's right." Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "With this, I'll have more confidence in dealing with the Nine Underworlds."
He stood on the Broad Creed Mountain's peak and looked at the Sky beyond Skies' mountains and rivers, "Hopefully, some of the remaining problems can be resolved."
