Ah Hu entered the secluded room, saying, "According to the current news, that Ten Leaf Golden Orchid was seen in the Luliao Mountains."
Yan Zhaoge thought for a moment, "The Luliao Mountains? It was actually near the Sealing Dragon Abyss, also in the Eastern Tang. "
"Oh, since I have nothing better to do, let's go to the Luliao Mountains and see if we can fish out the Crimson Spirit Flag Master again."
The changes in the Sealing Dragon Abyss, the Ghost Hatchet Elder Han Sheng's sudden appearance, and the Crimson Spirit Flag Master's activities on the side, the Sacred Sun Clan was also getting restless due to the previous matter.
Although the King of the Eastern Tang Kingdom was inclined towards Broad Creed Mountain, Broad Creed Mountain only had Yan Xu in the Eastern Tang, which was obviously already insufficient.
The Disciplinary Elder of the East Continent had duties and could not stay for long, but Broad Creed Mountain had also sent other experts over. Although the Eastern Tang was currently in turmoil, Broad Creed Mountain did not lack manpower.
It was just that they did not know whether the Crimson Spirit Flag Master would once again take the risk.
As for the Ten Leaf Golden Orchid that he had ordered his subordinates to search for, it was even more important to Yan Zhaoge.
The competition between Yan Zhaoge's father and Yan Zhaoge's second apprentice-uncle for the position of Broad Creed Mountain's Clan Chief had already gradually reached its most critical juncture.
Yan Zhaoge's Grand Master, the current Clan Chief, had long since revealed the intention of entering secluded cultivation.
This seclusion was different from the past. The time he would emerge from seclusion was uncertain, and could very possibly be extremely long, even risking his life.
Therefore, the old Clan Chief intended to directly appoint an official successor before entering seclusion.
To Yan Zhaoge, removing Cui Xin, Wen Ningzhi and the other Acting Elders was inconsequential to the bigger picture.
At the current stage, the Internal Crystal Furnace that was still unable to forge spirit artifacts could only be said to have some effect, but would not have a decisive effect.
From a certain perspective, it would instead be of greater help in raising Yan Zhaoge's position.
Yan Zhaoge was well aware of this, and had long since been prepared for it. Therefore, while analysing the Internal Crystal Furnace, he was also planning something else.
Concocting a kind of pill.
A pill that had never appeared in the Eight Extremities World since the Great Calamity.
If this matter was completed, it would be a great contribution to his father's competition for the position of the Sect Leader. It could almost have the effect of a hammer strike.
Exiting the mansion, Yan Zhaoge walked on the streets of Overlooking Abyss City, pondering as he walked.
"That's right, Young Master, there's one more thing. Of the things you asked me to find, two of them are completely out of stock in the markets of the Eastern Tang. I was only able to obtain a small amount through the Eastern Tang Imperial Palace's secret storehouse."
"I've checked, it's because of the Eastern Tang Kingdom's largest pill refining organisation, the Pill Stone Pavilion, is buying them without restraint."
"At the same time, the Pill Pavilion has recently started to sell the previously extinct healing medicine, the Smoke Cloud Powder."
Yan Zhaoge thought for a moment, "Smoke Cloud Scattering-I remember that it was a secret technique of the Pill Fire Divine Sword Gao Zhe. Along with Gao Zhe's death, it was also lost along with him."
After the Sacred Grounds had gradually established the power structure of the Eight Extremities World, the Pill Fire Divine Sword Gao Zhe was one of the few peak experts who had fought his way to the Martial Saint realm in the past.
He was arrogant, but he did have real talent.
Not only was his Sword Dao outstanding, he was also the top alchemy divine hand of his time. He was proficient in both sword and alchemy.
It was just that their relationship with Broad Creed Mountain was not that harmonious.
However, this person had already fallen many years ago.
"It could be that the Pill Stone Pavilion coincidentally obtained the secret technique that Gao Zhe left behind that year," Ah Hu guessed.
Yan Zhaoge nodded nonchalantly, not taking it too seriously.
The Smoke Cloud Scattering-I was indeed a rare healing medicine, but it was not something that he could not do without.
After walking for a while, Yan Zhaoge's heart jolted slightly. Raising his head, he saw a few figures appear at the other end of the street.
That group of people were currently debating about something. While they were rather far away, with Yan Zhaoge's hearing, he could naturally hear them clearly.
"Junior apprentice-brother Fei, the other party is simply forcing you to do something that is beyond your power; why do you have to listen to him!"
A tall youth was currently speaking with an indignant expression on his face.
He was a young disciple who had accompanied Yan Zhaoge out from the clan to temper himself. Yan Zhaoge remembered that his name was Lan Wenyan.
The few people beside Lan Wenyan were also young disciples who had come out to temper themselves.
After the Sealing Dragon Abyss mission had ended, other than the missing Ye Jing, of the other fifteen people, some had chosen to return to Broad Creed Mountain, while others had remained in Overlooking Abyss City, continuing to cultivate and travel the world.
In front of Lan Wenyan and the others, a youth of roughly the same age as them was squatting on the ground, laughing bitterly.
"Senior apprentice-brother Ma is fully in charge of supervising our daily cultivation. Naturally, I can only do as he says."
Lan Wenyan said angrily, "But with your current cultivation base, going beneath the great waterfall, something might happen within an hour's time."
"Two hours? Does he want to kill you?"
The youth surnamed Fei had a distressed look on his face, "I won't die. Just like last time, after I had fainted, he would have fished me out."
Someone beside him asked, "Did you offend him, causing him to specially take revenge on you?"
Junior apprentice-brother Fei sighed, "In the past, I didn't know any better. When he was being greedy, I spoiled his plans. Now, he will naturally come back to take care of me."
"Isn't that right? It's not like you're in the wrong; what are you afraid of him for? If he wants to take revenge on you, you can report it to the Acting Elder ah."
Junior apprentice-brother Fei replied in a muffled voice, "That was what I thought in the past. Only afterwards did I find out that his background was that of an Acting Elder. Otherwise, how could he be completely fine, and come to take revenge on me now?"
"Even if I report it to the Acting Elder, as long as senior apprentice-brother Ma says that it was to urge me to work harder in my cultivation, it will be easily explained away. At most, his methods will be a little more extreme, and he won't be able to take any punishment. In the future, he will definitely take revenge on me even more intensely."
Junior apprentice-brother Fei looked at Lan Wenyan and the others in front of him, saying with a bitter smile, "Back then, for the sake of some subsidies, I applied to leave the sect and come to this place. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. In the past, I really thought too simply of things."
"Now, if I want to return to the sect, I have to first report it to the Acting Elder. Senior apprentice-brother Ma is just by the side to give me some advice. I can't afford to offend him, and I can't even afford to hide from him."
Lan Wenyan's brows were tightly knit. The junior apprentice-brother Fei in front of him had entered the sect at the same time as him, and their relationship was very deep. This time, having come to Overlooking Abyss City, he had originally thought that it would be a reunion of old friends. Who would have thought that his old friend's situation would actually be like this?
After pondering for a moment, Lan Wenyan said hesitantly, "This time, we came together with senior apprentice-brother Yan. Senior apprentice-brother Yan's status is special; if we can ask him to say a few words, perhaps senior apprentice-brother Ma won't dare to make things difficult for you. If you want to be transferred away from Overlooking Abyss City, there would also be hope."
"Senior apprentice-brother Yan Zhaoge?" Junior apprentice-brother Fei's eyes lit up, but very quickly dimmed, "Such a small matter, senior apprentice-brother Yan might not necessarily care about it. Also, I heard that senior apprentice-brother Yan's relationship with Overlooking Abyss City's Elder Xu is very good."
Lan Wenyan said, "Then we'll report it to the clan on your behalf."
"Senior apprentice-brother Ma is only making things difficult for me over some small matters; he won't be able to catch his actual faults. If someone from the clan comes to ask about it, he can also just brush it off." Junior apprentice-brother Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'll just bear with it. Now that senior apprentice-brother Ma has vented his anger, everything should be fine. It's also impossible for him to really kill me; I'll just treat it as if I'm really undergoing tempering."
Yan Zhaoge quietly watched this scene, his expression not changing in the slightest. He only tilted his head, "From what I remember, Xu Chuan's personal disciples don't have the surname Ma, nor do his relatives?"
"That's right." Ah Hu nodded his head, then retreated. After a short while, he returned to report, "That person is called Ma Yue; he is the descendant of a deceased Elder of our clan. When Xu Chuan was young, he once received the kindness of that Elder Ma, so he took care of his descendant, Ma Yue."
Yan Zhaoge raised his eyebrows, "Xu Chuan's own hands and feet are rather clean; after taking care of his benefactor, he connived at his greed?"
Ah Hu shook his head, "Time was short, so I couldn't find out too much about the exact situation. However, Xu Chuan might not be aware of it."
"In front of Xu Chuan, this Ma Yue also pretended to be very humble and courteous. On account of the deceased Elder Ma's face, Xu Chuan let him off."
"In the end, this Ma Yue used the tiger's might to intimidate others, causing others to not easily reveal this matter to Xu Chuan."
Ah Hu chuckled, "A classic example of deceiving the superiors."
Yan Zhaoge, on the other hand, did not laugh. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, "No, with Xu Chuan's shrewdness, his own subordinates and that Ma Yue would not be able to deceive him."
"There are still others who are helping that Ma Yue. It's just that their target is actually Xu Chuan."
"This Ma Yue, step by step, has gradually become a weak point for Xu Chuan. Who knows when he will make a big mess of things, dragging Xu Chuan down with him."
"Especially now that Xu Chuan is the Acting Elder of both Overlooking Abyss City and the Spirit Wind Canyon. I'm afraid that the other party is already preparing to make a move …"
Seeing the forced smile on junior apprentice-brother Fei's face, Lan Wenyan and the others were just about to say something when a voice suddenly rang out from the side, "Junior apprentice-brother Fei, why aren't you going? Could it be that you still want me to wait for you at the waterfall? "
A young man with a medium build walked over and looked at the crowd with a smile. He suddenly said with a low laugh.
"Yeah, I want to mess with him. What can you do about it?"
The person who had just arrived was that Ma Yue. The youth surnamed Fei's lips twitched, but no sound came out. Giving a bitter laugh to Lan Wenyan and the others, he walked towards Ma Yue.
"You don't have to go with him." A cold voice suddenly rang out, and Sikong Qing's figure appeared in front of everyone.
A look of joy appeared on Lan Wenyan's face, as he hurriedly bowed towards Sikong Qing. "Senior apprentice-sister Sikong."
Sikong Qing's gaze swept past the youth surnamed Fei and Ma Yue.
"Training hard, persevering, and enduring is a good thing. Some elders in the sect will force their disciples to accept it."
"But that was out of kindness, not selfish revenge."
Ma Yue looked at his own white clothes, then looked at Sikong Qing's blue robe over her white clothes, and a trace of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He laughed. "Junior Sister Sikong must be joking. I was just joking with them."
Sikong Qing said indifferently, "It's not funny."
Ma Yue chuckled and said, "Junior Martial Sister Sikong, you're wearing a blue gown. Naturally, I can't compete with you."
"But how long will you be staying in Overlooking Abyss City? How long can he rely on you? You don't have the authority to transfer him out of here, and neither do you have the authority to transfer me out of here. "
