Looking at Yan Zhaoge's casual manner, Elder Liu felt his heart burn with rage.
It was precisely this youth before him who had spoiled his and the Decimating Abyss's plans, also extinguishing his final hope.
Once, if he had praised this youth, saying that a tiger father would not beget a dog son, it would have been a great honour for him.
Now, however, this youth had decided his fate.
Yan Zhaoge said calmly, "You want to use the lives of countless lifeforms as the price in exchange for your own advancement. Whether this is right or wrong, I won't judge it here. After all, in your eyes, the lives of millions of people may not be comparable to your life alone. You are free to think this way."
"But on the other hand, if your plan fails, you will naturally have to bear the corresponding price. Elder Liu, you should have long since been mentally prepared for this, right?"
"No matter how much you emphasize your pain and helplessness, your unwillingness and struggles, it won't change this."
Yan Zhaoge smiled mildly, "It can't be that you want to tell us that you feel that it is only natural for you to obtain what you want after you succeed, while nothing will happen to you if you fail, right?"
Elder Liu panted heavily, staring fixedly at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge met his gaze calmly, his expression not changing at all, filled with playfulness.
Yuan Zhengfeng waved his hands lightly, "Zhaoge."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, nodding towards Yuan Zhengfeng before taking a step back, no longer speaking.
Gazing at Yan Zhaoge, his gaze sweeping across the devilish mark on the back of Yan Zhaoge's left hand, Elder Liu was slightly taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he generally understood the situation.
He was no longer agitated, but his gaze was even colder as he looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Little thief, don't be happy too early."
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, the corners of his mouth revealing an expression that resembled a smile whilst also not a smile as he looked at Elder Liu, not speaking.
Yuan Zhengfeng sighed, looking at Elder Liu, saying, "Junior apprentice-brother Liu, at this point, there is no point in saying more. Like senior apprentice-brother Wang, what do you know regarding the Nine Underworlds and the Decimating Abyss? Speak, if Shi Tie makes a move, it won't look good on everyone's faces. "
Elder Liu let out a muffled groan.
From Elder Liu's interrogation, he had gained some information regarding the Decimating Abyss. He had gained a greater understanding of Broad Creed Mountain.
However, the question that all of Broad Creed Mountain paid the most attention to was whether any of the higher echelon experts of Broad Creed Mountain had also been corroded by the Decimating Abyss and the Nine Underworlds.
Unfortunately, Elder Liu did not give him an answer to this question.
Just like Elder Wang back then, experts at their level were all roped in and corroded by the Decimating Abyss alone.
Unless there was a huge incident like the incident at Clear Concealed Lake, which required many experts to work together. It was also difficult for them to determine whether the other was from the Decimating Abyss.
Instead, because of Elder Liu's exposure, it was like pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud. Among the middle and lower ranked martial artists, those who had been corrupted by him, were also exposed.
Exiting the Disciplinary Hall, Yan Zhaoge followed behind Yuan Zhengfeng and the others, the atmosphere in the group somewhat heavy.
Fang Zhun said softly, "It was my mistake. Elder Liu's recent departure from the Mountain and transfer of some resources were all approved by me. I'm still not vigilant enough. "
Yuan Zhengfeng waved his hand. "None of us knew what was needed to set up the Demonic Domain Formation. You can't be blamed for this. The resources that you approved were all within Junior Brother Liu's authority."
He walked a few steps in front of them. Swivelling his head to look at Yan Zhaoge and Shi Tie, he smiled, "You did very well this time. It was all thanks to you. Otherwise, with the Great Nine Underworlds Door opening unguarded in the heart of the South Heaven Region, the results would have been too horrible to contemplate."
Shi Tie said, "It was Zhaoge's idea."
Yuan Zhengfeng nodded, smiling. "That's right, Zhaoge has performed a great merit again. But my Broad Creed Mountain's resources have long since been emptied in order to reward you. Now, what should I reward you with? "
Yan Zhaoge chuckled. "Grand Master, you just have to think about it a little."
They didn't feel offended, instead all laughing.
After entering the clan's main hall, Yuan Zhengfeng sat down on the main seat, saying, "Other than the problem of the Nine Underworlds and the Decimating Abyss, another major matter has occurred recently."
The old man's expression turned somewhat solemn. "There is definite news that during this period of time, while our clan was dealing with the Decimating Abyss, the Sacred Sun Clan obtained a Purple Essence Containing Jade in the Southern Wilderness."
Currently, Yan Di and Fang Zhun were already aware of it, but this was the first time Yan Zhaoge and Shi Tie had heard of it.
Yan Zhaoge knit his brows. The Purple Essence Containing Jade was an extremely rare treasure, even rarer than the Imitation Killing Jade. Similarly, it was already a thing of legend, not having appeared in this world for many years, generally believed to have already been completely extinct.
In terms of preciousness, this thing was much more important than the Imitation Killing Jade, because it was of great benefit to the cultivation of Martial Saints.
The Sacred Sun Clan obtaining the Purple Essence Containing Jade held great significance, signifying that the possibility of the East Coming Martial Saint Huang Guanglie advancing a step further was even greater.
"A pity that the Extreme Yin Crown is currently not in our hands, and the Decimating Abyss is constantly drawing in our attention," Yan Zhaoge shook his head rather regretfully.
After Infinite Boundless Mountain had formed an alliance with Broad Creed Mountain and Jade Sea City, if any of the three had the Extreme Yin Crown, they would be able to suppress the Sacred Sun Clan's World Illuminating Peak even as they restrained the Heavenly Thunder Hall, forcing Huang Guanglie to leave seclusion early no matter what.
However, now that the Extreme Yin Crown was in the hands of Turbid Wave Pavilion and the Sacred Sun Clan had retracted their defences at their World Illuminating Peak, their hopes were very low.
Yuan Zhengfeng said, "While we have been working hard on our plans, our opponents have similarly not been idle."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Now, Yuan Zhengfeng's sound transmission suddenly resounded by Yan Zhaoge's ear, "Speaking of this, you still have a great merit. Yan Di mentioned to this old man that you also contributed to that Heaven Returning Divine Pill."
Yan Zhaoge controlled himself not to look at Yuan Zhengfeng, maintaining a nonchalant look on his face.
In the entire Broad Creed Mountain, there were only a scant few who clearly knew the secret of the Heaven Returning Divine Pill. Even among Yan Zhaoge's side, only Ah Hu knew about it.
Currently, the people in the great hall, Shi Tie and Fang Zhun, also did not know about the matter of the Heaven Returning Divine Pill.
This could be said to be Broad Creed Mountain's current top secret. Other than those who had handled it, only the old Clan Chief, Yuan Zhengfeng, knew about it.
Glancing at Yan Di, warmth arose within Yan Zhaoge's heart. According to the results of their initial discussion, the main credit should be given to Yan Di alone as much as possible.
But from the looks of it now, his father was still very concerned about him.
Yan Di's expression was similarly as per usual. Like Yan Zhaoge, neither father nor son revealed anything at all.
Now, an old man and an old woman walked in. They were precisely the two Grand Elders of Broad Creed Mountain. Other than them, there was also another old man, shockingly the Xin Dongping who had never once left the Martial Repository.
For a time, all of Broad Creed Mountain's core decision-makers here, other than a longtime Elder who guarded over the Heaven Sealing Gorge, were all present.
Looking at them, Yuan Zhengfeng said slowly, "You all already know about the matter of the Sacred Sun Clan obtaining the Purple Essence Containing Jade. To us, time is already of the utmost urgency."
"Therefore, this old man has decided to formally enter secluded cultivation in the next few days, attempting to break through into the Martial Saint realm!"
