Huang Jie put away the pearl and walked out of the stone room. He looked into the distance, in the direction of the Heaven Domain.
A moment later, a figure pushed open the door and came to Huang Jie. It was Tang Yonghao.
"Junior apprentice-brother Huang, is the Sacred Sun Clan going to attack Broad Creed Mountain at this time?" Tang Yonghao's expression was grave as he looked earnestly at Huang Jie.
Huang Jie did not seem surprised by Tang Yonghao's arrival as he said calmly, "The Sacred Sun Clan does not want to attack Broad Creed Mountain, instead wanting to exterminate the threat to the Eight Extremities World."
Tang Yonghao frowned at Huang Jie.
Huang Jie's expression was mild, "Broad Creed Mountain has colluded with the Decimating Abyss. There are indications that that place is in fact the birthplace of the Decimating Abyss, being the guide of the Nine Underworlds."
"The Nine Underworld Evil Devils are like the Flame Devils of the Flame Devil World, enemies of the Eight Extremities World."
"As the current number one Sacred Ground of the Eight Extremities World, our Sacred Sun Clan is duty-bound to prevent the descent of the Nine Underworlds, isn't that so?"
Tang Yonghao said solemnly, "I know that Broad Creed Mountain and my Sacred Sun Clan are not on good terms. The conflict between the two sides did not accumulate in just a day or two."
"If it really is a battle between our two Sacred Grounds, an internal conflict between the human martial practitioners of the Eight Extremities World, as a descendant of the Sacred Sun Clan, I, Tang Yonghao, will definitely fight it out with the descendants of Broad Creed Mountain on the frontlines, not hesitating in the slightest."
"However, you also said that the Nine Underworlds are the common enemy of the Eight Extremities World. Even if there is any conflict between my Sacred Sun Clan and Broad Creed Mountain, it should also first be settled with the Nine Underworlds and the Decimating Abyss before deciding on who is superior."
"The Decimating Abyss has spies in the various clans and Sacred Grounds. With a great battle having erupted in Broad Creed Mountain now, it is clearly a life and death struggle between the Decimating Abyss and Broad Creed Mountain."
Tang Yonghao stared deeply at Huang Jie, "It's one thing for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but don't tell me that we have to help Decimating Abyss?"
Huang Jie's gaze was like water, "Senior Brother Tang, I've said it before. My Sage Sect's goal is to eliminate the person who can lead the Nine Underworlds to descend."
"Broad Creed Mountain is precisely the birthplace of the Decimating Abyss."
Huang Jie said calmly, "Who knows if the war now is just a way to deceive people?"
Tang Yonghao's pupils constricted when he heard that.
Huang Jie continued, "Of the peak experts of Broad Creed Mountain, if one were to really talk about it, who is the one who is most likely to fall into the Nine Underworlds? It's actually their Sect Leader, the one with the highest status, Yuan Zhengfeng. "
"This senior Grand Elder experienced the flourishing times of Zhan Dongge's era, and also experienced the dormant times of Zhan Xilou's era. From the perspective of a descendant of Broad Creed Mountain, he shouldered the heavy burden of the clan's reemergence, yet also bore the terrifying pressure of my Sacred Sun Clan and my grandfather."
"Zhan Xilou has already passed away, and he himself has old injuries. He has no hope of becoming a Martial Saint, and his lifespan is decreasing. Now, he is walking step by step towards old age. The road ahead is dim, and the pressure is increasing."
Huang Jie said calmly, "Even if he doesn't fear death, the pressure of supporting the sect will always be on his shoulders …"
Tang Yonghao suddenly interrupted Huang Jie, "Junior Brother Huang, do you think I'm a fool?"
This kind of impolite behavior almost never happened to Tang Yonghao among fellow disciples.
However, his gaze as he looked at Huang Jie now was rather stern, "Everyone is well aware of what exactly is going on. Why must you use these words to fool me?"
Huang Jie kept his mouth shut, looking quietly at Tang Yonghao.
Tang Yonghao gazed at Huang Jie, "Junior Brother Huang, I have always admired your heaven-defying talent. Outsiders do not know your abilities, but I more or less know some of them."
"Not only do you have the right to know the decisions of the higher echelons of the Sacred Sun Clan, you also have the right to offer advice and suggestions."
"This time's matter also involved you."
"Now that Broad Creed Mountain is resisting the Decimating Abyss, you are instead preparing to stab them in the back. Perhaps you think that this is the most beneficial decision for our Sacred Sun Clan, being able to capture Broad Creed Mountain and the Decimating Abyss in one fell swoop, while my thinking is inflexible and foolish."
"Alright, let's not talk about morality and whatnot first. I have no intention of forcing others to think the same as me. I only ask you one question. You are confident that you can control the entire situation, but what if the Nine Underworlds descend? "
Tang Yonghao said solemnly, "Perhaps the place where the Nine Underworlds descend is the Heaven Domain, but that is also the Eight Extremities World, just like how the passageway to the Flame Devil World is in the East Sea, but all of us have to face the threat of the Flame Devils."
Looking at Tang Yonghao, Huang Jie suddenly laughed, "Senior Brother Tang, to be honest, sometimes, I feel that you are rather foolish."
Looking at Huang Jie, Tang Yonghao was not angered.
Huang Jie continued, "However, this time, it has nothing to do with whether you are foolish or not. It is that there are some things that you do not know."
Tang Yonghao said coldly, "I would like to hear the details."
"The current era, the current situation, is different from that of Broad Creed Mountain's Zhan Dongge and Zhan Xilou that year," Huang Jie raised his head to look at the sky, saying leisurely, "The tribulation before us now is a test."
Tang Yonghao was taken aback, "What did you say?"
Huang Jie smiled, no longer speaking as he said, "Broad Creed Mountain and the Decimating Abyss are in cahoots, drawing the descent of the Nine Underworlds. We now work hard to eradicate them, saving the Eight Extremities World. It is just that simple."
Saying thus, he turned and returned to his stone room.
Looking at his back, Tang Yonghao's gaze was incomparably complex.
Returning to his stone room, Huang Jie saw a middle-aged man already seated within. He went up and greeted him nonchalantly, "When did senior apprentice-uncle arrive?"
The middle-aged man was the Sunset Lord of the Seven Reigning Suns as he nodded towards Huang Jie, "Around the same time as Yonghao."
The Sunset Lord gazed outside, "Yonghao's personality is too straightforward. If he does not change, he can only be a sword, not a person who wields a sword."
"Due to the current situation and environment," Huang Jie said calmly, "Senior Brother Tang has his value in existence."
"If our Sacred Sun Clan wants to advance triumphantly, that senior brother Tang will appear untimely, pedantic and foolish. If we suffer a massive setback and fall to rock bottom, someone like him will instead be able to display his usefulness, preserving the final bit of vitality for our Sacred Sun Clan."
The Sunset Lord said, "You are right. However, that is something that is impossible to happen. Yonghao is destined to be a pearl covered in dust."
Huang Jie's expression was mild, "That is only natural."
The Sunset Lord stood up, "I will also be heading over to where senior apprentice-uncle Pan and the others are. Everything will be settled once the old Chief emerges from seclusion. Are you not preparing to go along and personally see all this happen?"
"Going there personally is to prevent any accidents, adjusting the plan at any time." Huang Jie shook his head, "I have already done what I should have done. I have no interest in seeing my plans come to fruition. To me, that sort of satisfaction does not hold much meaning. It is fine as long as the final result does not deviate from expectations."
The Sunset Lord did not insist, "I, however, will be going to see it for myself."
Huang Jie smiled, "Take care, senior apprentice-uncle. Being able to slay Broad Creed Mountain who led the Nine Underworlds to descend into the Eight Extremities World is indeed a joyous occasion."
The Sunset Lord laughed loudly as he left, "That's right, it is precisely so. Broad Creed Mountain only has themselves to blame. Our Sacred Sun Clan can precisely eliminate evil for the Eight Extremities World!"
