Eight hundred years ago, when Gao Han attended Yan Zhaoge's wedding, he seemed to have unintentionally mentioned the Eight Extremities World.
From then on, Yan Zhaoge became suspicious.
Indeed, Gao Han had once lived in seclusion in the Eight Extremities World. In the end, he even used the Extreme Yang Seal to escape.
However, strictly speaking, Yan Zhaoge had never interacted with him in the Eight Extremities World.
Their encounter would soon reach the World beyond Worlds.
If it were anyone else, Yan Zhaoge might not think too much about it. However, since it was Gao Han, he naturally had to be cautious.
Facing Yan Zhaoge's direct question, Gao Han's expression didn't show any signs of surprise, "Since you said so, you should have noticed it too, right?"
"That's right." Yan Zhaoge nodded and looked into Gao Han's eyes, "I'm guessing that when I was still in the Eight Extremities World's lower world, you and the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor had already been paying attention to me. Am I right?"
Gao Han, who was used to concealing himself, didn't try to act mysterious this time.
He smiled, "You guessed it right."
Gao Han revealed a slightly emotional expression, "In the past, I also felt that it was weird. I don't know why the Southern Extremities Emperor would look up to you."
"However, looking back, Fellow Daoist, you are indeed extraordinary."
He looked at Yan Zhaoge and smiled, "Only after you separated from the World beyond Worlds did I realize that you might be the Elder Lord's pebble."
"Everyone thinks that's the truth." Yan Zhaoge said plainly, "However, only the Elder Lord knows the truth."
Gao Han nodded, "That's right."
He looked at Yan Zhaoge and remained silent for a while before saying, "Looking back at the Southern Extremities Emperor's actions in the past, there were many abnormalities that made one feel incredulous."
Yan Zhaoge didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Gao Han and waited for him to continue.
He knew that the next part was the main topic.
Before Gao Han ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm and attended Yan Zhaoge's wedding, he had already secretly given him a hint.
In other words, Gao Han's tone was filled with respect when he mentioned the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor.
However, in the past, when he was still under the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor's tutelage, he already had other intentions.
Previously, Yan Zhaoge had crippled the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's Origin Heavenly Scripture cultivation. Now, he was even helping him conceal it. Even if Gao Han was still a Virtual Immortal, he wouldn't have to worry about his safety.
Today, even if he had yet to ascend to the Grand Heavenly Realm, he would still tell Yan Zhaoge everything that had been said in the past.
As expected, Gao Han's following words were earth-shattering.
"His Majesty, the South Pole Emperor, initially wanted to eliminate you."
Feng Yunsheng raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual, "With Daoist South Pole's cultivation base, wanting to kill me at that time would have been as easy as blowing off dust."
"Yes, it has been like this for a very long time." He smiled, "If you're worried that the Grand Supreme Elder will pursue the matter, it's actually a fifty-fifty chance. However, why does Brother South Pole want to get rid of me?"
Gao Han shook his head, "This is precisely the part that I have not thought through."
"After you destroyed the three chess pieces that he had prepared, His Majesty South Pole stopped playing and suddenly gave up." Gao Han's gaze was filled with undisguised probing intent. He looked at Yan Zhaoge, "From then on, even his attention towards you lessened."
Hearing "three chess pieces," Feng Yunsheng might not care much about it, but a thought flashed through Yan Zhaoge's mind.
A few faces from deep within his memories appeared before his eyes again.
Ye Jing, Zhao Hao, Lin Zhou …
Yan Zhaoge closed his eyes and slowly opened them again.
"Hehe, in the past, I thought that it was like a parasite. I never thought that it was targeted towards me." Yan Zhaoge's expression was a little weird, and he thought, "I see, I see …"
The past was already over. Yan Zhaoge no longer cared about the three people that died in his hands.
Only, the mysteries behind this made him ponder deeply.
Why did the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor want to make things difficult for him?
By helping Ye Jing and the others, he wanted to reduce the traces of his actions and avoid attracting attention. Then, who was the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor afraid of?
The Elder Lord?
Yan Zhaoge couldn't think of any reason why the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor would go against the Elder Lord.
In the Nine Underworlds Puzzle, he was fighting against the Great Daoist Xuandu for the chance to ascend to the Dao Realm. It wasn't considered going against the Elder Lord.
Although he wasn't sure of the specific arrangements, and he wasn't sure if the Elder Lord would make a move in the Nine Underworlds Puzzle, and how he would do it, the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor vaguely sensed that the Elder Lord might want to make a move. Overall, his style was to take advantage of the Elder Lord's actions to increase his chance to ascend to the Dao Realm.
He didn't intend to go against the Elder Lord.
After vaguely sensing that Yan Zhaoge was related to the Elder Lord, the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor even went along with the flow and tried to earn some favors.
Thinking of Gao Han's words, the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor only stopped after Ye Jing, Zhao Hao, and Lin Zhou failed consecutively. Yan Zhaoge suddenly had a guess.
Perhaps the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor vaguely sensed that he was related to the Elder Lord, and stopped trying to eliminate him.
It wasn't because he was related to the Elder Lord that he wanted to kill Yan Zhaoge. On the contrary, it was because he sensed that Yan Zhaoge was related to the Elder Lord that he gave up on killing him.
Back to the original question.
Previously, why did the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor silently send some pawns to eliminate Yan Zhaoge without leaving any traces?
Did he discover his peculiarities at the start, but he wasn't sure of his origins. In order to avoid interfering with his other arrangements, he decided to eliminate him first?
Or could it be that the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor's target was someone else?
As Yan Zhaoge pondered, he looked at Feng Yunsheng and asked Gao Han, "Where's my wife?"
"The Rahu Saber corpse left behind by Daoist Jian Shunhua has always been in the Eight Extremities World. Generations of people have been passing it down, waiting for the person who would allow it to return to the World beyond Worlds, or even the Nine Underworlds."
Gao Han answered, "As for Daoist Feng and Daoist Yan's love for each other, no matter if it's the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor or I, we didn't expect it to happen."
Before inheriting the Doomsday Heavenly Devil's authority, the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor, who was proficient in the Origin Heavenly Scripture, had a clear view of Feng Yunsheng's fate.
However, the matters related to Yan Zhaoge were all blurry and hard to predict.
Only with the passage of time could he watch everything happen, and when the conditions were right, success would follow.
As for the Southern Extremities Longevity Emperor, he didn't interfere and silently observed the situation.
"Since he didn't interfere with us getting together, and didn't interfere with my wife entering the Nine Underworlds …" Yan Zhaoge chuckled coldly, "Should I thank him?"
Feng Yunsheng silently stood by the side and didn't speak. Now, she held his hand and smiled at him.
"Daoist, you used your Extreme Yang Seal to deceive others." Yan Zhaoge nodded at Feng Yunsheng and turned to look at Gao Han, "Then, what about Daoist Ling's Extreme Yin Crown?"
