While Yan Zhaoge had always thought highly of himself, he could not help but feel that if someone was specifically targeting him, there really would not be a need for a Martial Saint to personally take action.
The appearance of the Devil Saint Yuan Tian was undoubtedly the external pressure the Decimating Abyss was exerting on Broad Creed Mountain, drawing the attention of all of Broad Creed Mountain, luring the tiger away from the mountain and fighting for opportunities elsewhere.
After all, no matter how high the level of the traitor was, wanting to sneak Yuan Tian into Broad Creed Mountain's territory would really be looking down on Broad Creed Mountain too much.
However, what left Broad Creed Mountain helpless was that with Yuan Tian having appeared, they could not just ignore him.
Otherwise, if this person were to destroy without restraint, the damage he would cause in a short period of time might not be any less than the Descent of the Nine Underworlds.
Having outsiders causing such trouble in their own territory, yet still keeping their doors shut and not leaving, Broad Creed Mountain's face would be completely lost.
As for Yuan Tian coming to Yunzhen County to take care of Yan Zhaoge along the way, that was something that had happened in passing.
Within it, there was also the possibility that he wanted to force Yan Di to bring the Clear Qi Robe out of the mountain.
While Yan Di and the others were not people who were afraid of trouble, now was a sensitive time, with Yuan Zhengfeng in secluded cultivation at a critical juncture. With internal and external troubles appearing simultaneously, it was possible that Broad Creed Mountain's lineage would suddenly act in the opposite direction, forcibly suppressing their anger and slowly settling the score with Yuan Tian afterwards.
Taking down Yan Zhaoge was to add another bargaining chip to Yan Di's success.
Now that Yuan Tian had appeared, it would be too late for him to leave. Yan Zhaoge calmed his mind, simply gazing into the distance.
Streaks of gray mist appeared in the distant horizon, blotting out the sky and drifting toward the Yan Clan's ancestral grounds.
The originally bright and beautiful sky and sunlight had all disappeared at this time, leaving only a gray haze between heaven and earth.
In the vast sea of gray clouds, countless figures appeared. The dark clouds seemed to have turned into faces that were twisted in pain. They looked down and let out soundless roars.
Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu and the others could clearly feel waves of gloomy coldness.
It wasn't a coldness that came from his physical senses, but a chill that rose from the bottom of his heart, as if he was facing an innate terror.
Looking at that dark cloud, Yan Zhaoge nodded to himself, "There is indeed some shadow of the Impermanent Devil Sect of the past. It is just that I wonder if the thoughts of Buddhism's Impermanence have already been integrated within?"
From what Yan Zhaoge knew, the Impermanent Devil Sect of pre-Great Calamity times had once undergone a huge change. From the essence of the sect's martial dao to the legacies of its experts, there had all been disputes and changes.
Yan Zhaoge didn't know much about the specifics, only having heard the general news.
However, with the advent of the Great Calamity, the Impermanent Demon Sect seemed to have turned to dust along with the heavens and the earth.
Looking at those dark clouds that obscured the heavens and covered the earth at this moment, Yan Zhaoge could not help but feel slightly dazed as many memories of the past surfaced within his mind.
Dark clouds instantly shrouded the entire area, blocking out the sunlight and causing Yunzhen County to seem to have fallen into darkness.
At this point, Yuan Tian did not waste any more words. His powerful Martial Path Fist Intent pressed down, and the illusory fist intent condensed into substance.
In front of Yuan Tian, the grand protective array of the Yan Family's ancestral home did not seem to exist.
The light dragons still danced in the air, but they were useless, unable to stop Yuan Tian at all.
Seemingly not needing to differentiate, Yuan Tian's fist-intent directly locked onto Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge's body began rising uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Ah Hu, Yan Wenzhen and the others within the Yan Family's ancestral home all felt their bodies go numb.
Following that, they could only feel as though their internal organs were being grabbed by someone's hand and squeezed forcefully.
The bones of their entire bodies emitted cracking sounds, their bodies seeming like they were about to explode, their blood vessels breaking apart as blood spurted out from their pores!
Of everyone present, Yan Wenzhen, the one with the highest cultivation base, was merely at the fourth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm, the early Essence Spirit stage.
Without having to show himself, Yuan Tian would already be able to sweep through everyone present, wanting to capture Yan Zhaoge alive while also flattening the Yan Family's ancestral home.
However, as his target, Yan Zhaoge who was directly facing Yuan Tian's sharpness, his expression was calm, not changing in the least as he instead observed Yuan Tian's fist-intent rather interestedly.
Yuan Tian might have noticed Yan Zhaoge's abnormality, but he did not open his mouth to ask anything, instead continuing at his own pace.
As one of the six great Martial Saints of this world, he had this strength and confidence.
Sadly, his thoughts were destined to never become reality.
The heavens and the earth suddenly shook, numerous streams of clear qi surging, instantly diluting the all-encompassing dark clouds. The sunlight in the sky fell sparsely, penetrating through the cloud layer once more, illuminating the great earth.
A tyrannical sabre-intent tore through the horizon, shattering the fist-intent Yuan Tian had exerted on the Yan Family's ancestral home.
Within the Yan Family's ancestral home, Yan Zhaoge's body that had just risen two or three metres into the air descended once more.
Ah Hu, Yan Wenzhen and the others all heaved a sigh of relief, no longer being pressured to the point where it felt like their bodies were about to explode.
The dark clouds in the sky roiled, parting to the sides as a person was revealed. It was a middle-aged man with a pale face, dressed in the garb of a scholar.
It was precisely the Devil Saint Yuan Tian whose name resounded throughout the Eight Extremities World!
Yuan Tian frowned slightly, "Clear Qi Robe, Yan Di?"
The winds and clouds between the heavens and the earth surged as a valiant man who looked to be in his early thirties but whose temples were dotted with a bit of frost appeared. It was precisely Yan Zhaoge's father, the current temporary Chief of Broad Creed Mountain, Yan Di.
Seeing Yan Di appear, Yan Wenzhen and the others simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.
Yuan Tian gazed at Yan Di, or rather, his attention was focused on the white robe that Yan Di was wearing.
The wide-sleeved white robe that enveloped Yan Di seemed to distort the surrounding space, containing infinite profundities as it transformed the space between the heavens and the earth into a robe.
From the white robe, streams of clear qi extended in all directions, even seeming to encompass the surrounding world within.
"Clear Qi Robe," Yuan Tian nodded, looking at Yan Di, "Why are you here? Actually leaving Broad Creed Mountain of your own accord with the Clear Qi Robe, could it be that you have come specifically for this Yuan? How did you know that this Yuan would definitely appear here? "
His hands behind his back, Yan Di looked calmly at the exalted Martial Saint Yuan Tian, not answering him as he instead asked, "Yuan Tian, with your strength and position, why were you also willing to submit yourself to the Nine Underworlds? What can they give you? Could it be that in order to seek longevity, you have given up on being a human? "
Yuan Tian shook his head, "It also doesn't matter. Anyway, it was originally to force you to leave Broad Creed Mountain. Now that you are willing to come out of your own accord, it is in line with my intentions."
"I can roughly guess what you are thinking. It is nothing more than trying to grasp the initiative in your own hands, catching me unawares. You saving your son, then immediately rushing back to the Mountain. This way, our people might instead not be able to react in time, making a move at Broad Creed Mountain."
Down below, the corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth arched slightly upwards.
His father and Yuan Tian both had no intention of answering the other's question, their tones calm, but they were still at loggerheads.
The terrifying concepts of the two great experts had even clashed intensely from the moment they had met, pressuring each other as the surrounding heavens and earth shook.
Looking at Yan Di, Yuan Tian said indifferently, "However, in front of me, do you think it will be so easy for you to bring your son away?"
Saying thus, he raised his hand, clenching it into a fist.
A terrifying force, instantly agglomerated.
As his fist struck out, it shook the earth and the heavens! (To be continued.)
