As the Twilight Lord and Huang Jie were appraising Yan Zhaoge, Yan Zhaoge's gaze was actually also sweeping over the Sacred Sun Clan's side.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze swept past Huang Jie, before falling on the other Sacred Sun Clan disciples beside him.
Not a single one of them had come to participate in the Heavenly Connection Meet.
While he still couldn't be sure if the other party had left, having similarly clashed with that masked Martial Grandmaster, however much Tang Yonghao trusted Huang Jie, he would definitely have done the most basic of investigations.
Huang Jie being so calm, with some people having hindered his movements, the suspicion could already be largely eliminated.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze surveyed the surroundings, seemingly nonchalant, but he was actually appraising those Martial Grandmasters whose cultivation bases were similar to the masked man's.
Actually, it was very hard to say whether there were still any Decimating Abyss spies amongst those present.
After all, not every Decimating Abyss martial practitioner would choose to fall to the dark side.
In the heavens and earth of the devilish domain, it was indeed easy to arouse the devilish intent within one's heart, coveting momentary pleasure and completely falling to the dark side.
However, this was not a definite thing.
One may know a person's face, but not their heart. This phrase was displayed to the point here. Not falling to the dark side, even if one's heart was filled with crafty schemes, as long as they concealed it well enough, it would be very hard for others to see through them.
As long as there were no witnesses, even if this person had secretly killed another person and then disposed of the corpse in a timely manner, he would still be able to strut out to meet everyone afterwards.
On the contrary, fallen practitioners, once having completely fallen to the dark side, would be completely different from how they were normally, also hard to conceal, basically having no possibility of continuing to conceal themselves.
Yan Zhaoge didn't dare to be certain. In this world, there definitely wasn't a method of regaining one's human form after falling to the dark side, but the possibility of this was really too small.
Comparatively speaking, restraining oneself from completely falling to the dark side would be the more likely choice for the lurking practitioner.
Just like before the incident of Clear Concealed Lake. Like Elder Mo and the others.
"Could I have been too stubborn before?" Yan Zhaoge pondered, "That Martial Grandmaster who ambushed and assassinated me was not a spy? After all, from the looks of it, he has already fallen to the dark side for some time, and not recently. "
"He must be a member of the Decimating Abyss Organisation that usually hides in the Earth Domain."
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "Covering yourself up tightly, yet not displaying the martial arts that you are truly proficient in. If they didn't catch him on the spot, they wouldn't be able to tell his identity. Who would know who he was? If you fall to the Devil, you will become an obvious target. "
"If he's not trying to hide his identity, why doesn't he use the martial arts that he's good at?"
Yan Zhaoge carefully recalled the scene back then, "The sword arts and palm arts he used when clashing with me, senior apprentice-brother Xu and the others were actually already at a very high level. Compared to his cultivation base, while we can be sure that it was not the martial arts he was originally proficient in, he should have also put in a lot of effort into it."
Yan Zhaoge thought, his eyes narrowing slightly into slits, "Why do I feel that. It's a little close to the time when he became a demon … "
"This time, Zhaoge has done something extraordinary." As Fang Zhun's elegant voice resounded by his ear, Yan Zhaoge reined in his thoughts, smiling as he answered, "The fortune of the heavens; second apprentice-uncle overpraises me."
Fang Zhun slowly shook his head, "No, you did very well. If not for your sudden appearance, the Decimating Abyss Organisation would have had a very high chance of success this time."
"With the Great Nine Underworlds Door open, wanting to close it again, that would be extremely difficult."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Why hasn't Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An arrived? Is it the Flame Devils over at the East Sea causing trouble? "
Fang Zhun said, "That's right. It should be the Decimating Abyss Organisation colluding with the Flame Devil World to act together, causing us to be attacked from both front and back. "
"It's not just Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An and Jade Sea City's City Lord Song. The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall also hurried over to the East Sea. "
"Also, great waves have also arisen over at the Earth Domain. Our clan and Infinite Boundless Mountain have joined hands to suppress them."
Fang Zhun narrated the events that had transpired at Clear Concealed Lake this time. While it seemed like a sudden incident at Clear Concealed Lake, it was actually very widespread, "Over at Clear Concealed Lake, after urgent communication, it was finally decided that the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Xu would come over with the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler."
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, "Then, where is he?"
Fang Zhun's expression turned somewhat solemn, "The Devil Saint reappeared, intercepting Huang Xu and the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler."
Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly, "The Devil Saint ah …"
In the current Eight Extremities World, there were a total of six Martial Saints whose cultivation bases could be confirmed and were known to all.
The Sacred Sun Clan's Grand Elder, the East Coming Martial Saint, 'Great Sun Rising East' Huang Guanglie.
The Lord of Jade Sea City, the Jade Sea Martial Saint, 'Boundless Waves Boundless' Song Wuliang.
The Lord of Turbid Wave Pavilion, the Roiling Cloud Martial Saint, 'Turbid Wave Roiling Cloud' An Qinglin.
The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, the Green Thunder Martial Saint, 'Eight Directional Shocking Thunder' Shen Li.
As well as the sectless Painting Saint and Devil Saint.
Of them, the Painting Saint, Old Man Mo, was currently the oldest and most senior expert who was confirmed to still be alive.
When Broad Creed Mountain's exalted Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge and the Heaven Diviner Zhan Xilou had still been alive that year, Old Man Mo's name had already spread far and wide, all the way till now.
This old man usually resided beyond the seas, unconcerned with worldly affairs, uninvolved in disputes. Most of the time, people were completely unable to sense his existence at all.
It was only when the invasion of the Flame Devil World was rather urgent that this old man would appear, aiding the other human experts in repelling the invading Flame Devils.
Comparatively speaking, Old Man Mo stood aloof from worldly affairs, with Broad Creed Mountain, the Sacred Sun Clan and the other major powers not daring to offend him lightly.
Meanwhile, the Devil Saint Yuan Tian was different. His personality was unruly and unruly, yet his cultivation base was also high, his destructive power extremely great.
His relationship with the six great Sacred Grounds was extremely bad, his way of doing things also being very unruly and temperamental, hard to understand, giving everyone a headache.
Yan Zhaoge had once secretly analysed the descriptions of those involved or bystanders after the Devil Saint had clashed with others, discovering that the Devil Saint Yuan Tian had most likely obtained some legacies left behind after the Great Calamity, gradually forming his current martial arts.
Tracing back to its source, it seemed to have the shadow of the Impermanent Devil Sect of before the Great Calamity.
"Is the Devil Saint Yuan Tian related to the Decimating Abyss? Or was it that the Decimating Abyss was single-handedly founded by Yuan Tian? " Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "From what I remember … Yuan Tian still likes to act alone, doing things straightforwardly."
Fang Zhun said, "For what reason Yuan Tian helped the Decimating Abyss to obstruct Huang Xu and the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler, this is still not something that can be determined. However, to be cautious, it is still better not to treat it as a coincidence. We have to guard against Yuan Tian making a move again next time."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Second apprentice-uncle is right."
Fang Zhun said, "This matter will temporarily come to an end here. The aftermath of Clear Concealed Lake should still be left to Turbid Wave Pavilion to handle. Speaking of it, their losses this time were the greatest. Of their two Elders, one was a spy, finally being executed, while the other died in battle."
Shaking his head, Fang Zhun continued, "Regarding the Decimating Abyss and the Nine Underworlds, there are still many things that need to be slowly discussed. Let us first return to the Mountain now."
Yan Zhaoge nodded in agreement, "I understand."
Fang Zhun suddenly laughed, "When we return this time, the clan will definitely reward you heavily once more."
"I originally still said that you wouldn't need more than ten years, just a few years. When the world looks at you, Zhaoge, they will no longer just regard you as junior apprentice-brother Yan's son, instead valuing you as a person."
"But I never thought that I would still have underestimated you. From today onwards, your name is already known by all under the heavens, known by everyone."
