Ma Yue grinned at Lan Wenyan and the others. "If you don't want to go down the waterfall, then so be it. You can still play other things. Even if you don't play these few days, you can play in a few days."
He glanced at junior apprentice-brother Fei, who lowered his head. Ma Yue smiled at Sikong Qing and Lan Wenyan. "You can go back to the mountain and snitch on me, but what are you going to complain about? That I'm too harsh in urging junior apprentice-brothers to cultivate? "
Lan Wenyan glared at him, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Ma Yue didn't even look at Lan Wenyan. His gaze fell on Sikong Qing's face, and he said with a mischievous smile, "What, you want to hit me?"
"They can't beat me. Your cultivation is higher than mine, so I won't provoke you. If you hit me, you'll be breaking the sect's rules."
Ma Yue grinned and retreated. "See, junior apprentice-sister Sikong, I don't dare to provoke you. Whatever you say goes. If you don't let junior apprentice-brother Fei follow me to the waterfall, I definitely won't force him. I'll listen to you."
"Not just today, but whenever you're here, I'll listen to you."
"As for after you leave, hehe …"
Ma Yue was retreating when he suddenly bumped into someone.
Shocked, he turned around and was immediately scared out of his wits!
Appearing in front of him was Xu Chuan's face!
Xu Chuan looked at Ma Yue calmly, not a trace of anger on his face, but it made Ma Yue even more frightened.
"What will happen after junior apprentice-nephew Sikong leaves?"
Ma Yue forced himself to stay alert. "Elder … Elder Xu, when did you arrive …"
Xu Chuan said indifferently, "Anyway, I know everything I need to know."
Ma Yue's vision immediately turned black.
His legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees.
Xu Chuan shook his head and waved his hand. His attendants came out from behind him and carried Ma Yue away.
"Elder Xu, my grandfather …" Ma Yue wanted to speak, but found that he had already been restrained, unable to utter a single sound.
There was only one thought left in his mind, "… It's over!"
"From now on, he will never appear in Overlooking Abyss City again, nor will he be able to use my name to intimidate others." Xu Chuan nodded slightly to Sikong Qing and the others, then turned and left.
No one knew that this Elder Xu, who held the position of Overlooking Abyss City's and Spirit Wind Valley's Deacon's back was still drenched in cold sweat, "It's all thanks to Young Master Yan's reminder. Otherwise, there would definitely be great trouble in the future!"
Lan Wenyan and the others looked at each other, unable to make heads or tails of what was going on.
"… It might be senior apprentice-brother Yan," Sikong Qing said softly as she watched Xu Chuan's departing figure.
Everyone came to a sudden realisation as they gazed about, only now discovering Yan Zhaoge in the distance.
The group hurriedly went forward to pay their respects.
Looking at their hesitant expressions, Yan Zhaoge smiled as he shook his head, looking at that youth surnamed Fei, "He will no longer make things difficult for you in the future."
"However, do your best and cultivate diligently. You should persist at all times and push yourself more. In the end, you will still be the one to benefit."
"For example, if you have the same cultivation and status as Junior Sister Sikong, then he wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you even if others didn't show up."
Junior apprentice-brother Fei's lips trembled as he bowed towards Yan Zhaoge in fear and trepidation, "Yes, I will definitely remember senior apprentice-brother Yan's teachings."
He was so excited that he wanted to express his thanks that he didn't even know how to put it into words. Lan Wenyan pulled on his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Just remember it in your heart. How could senior apprentice-brother Yan have the patience to lower himself to the level of Ma Yue and the others?"
"That's right." Junior apprentice-brother Fei nodded his head repeatedly, only that the gaze with which he looked at Yan Zhaoge was filled with gratitude and longing.
Lan Wenyan and the others were the same.
After saying this, Yan Zhaoge no longer brought up the matter from earlier. He only smiled mildly, "Looking at your attire, you seem to be heading out. Where are you planning to go?"
Sikong Qing replied calmly, "I'm bringing my junior apprentice-brothers and sisters to the Luliao Mountains."
Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly, "En, you have the experience of going there before. Be careful of them."
Sikong Qing replied, "I understand."
Since it was indeed Yan Zhaoge who was going to make a move, the crowd naturally didn't have to worry about Xu Chuan saying one thing and doing another. The unhappiness that had arisen because of Ma Yue immediately dissipated, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
A disciple suddenly asked Yan Zhaoge curiously, "Senior apprentice-brother Yan, the 'Mister Dong' mentioned by those storytellers and puppeteers, is he our clan's exalted Hantian ancestor?"
Because Overlooking Abyss City was close to the Sealing Dragon Abyss, most of the people who were active here were martial practitioners. There weren't many ordinary citizens, but there were also people who braved great risks to come here to make a living.
Because of the marketplace, the city was actually quite lively.
At this moment, a large number of children had gathered by the roadside, watching the puppeteer with infatuation.
The puppeteer was controlling two puppets, currently fighting back and forth in front of the stage. He himself was hiding behind the stage, spittle flying everywhere as he said, "As Mister Dong chopped down with his sabre, the heavens and the earth instantly split apart, the great sea split in two, directly chopping off the Great Flame Devil King's head!"
"That Flame Devil dared to enter our Eight Extremities World, wreaking havoc and committing atrocious acts. But having met Mister Dong, he also won't be able to come and go!"
In the puppeteer by the roadside, the two puppets both looked a little old, but their craftsmanship was rather exquisite.
One of the puppets was that of a middle-aged man, holding a long sabre in his hands. His face looked rather mighty and domineering.
The other puppet, on the other hand, was completely fiery red. Although it looked like a human, it had a green face and sharp fangs, looking extremely fierce and ferocious, resembling a demon. The hair on its head was also shaped to look like flames.
Following the puppeteer's manipulation, the middle-aged man's sabre landed on the Flame Devil's neck, and the Flame Devil puppet instantly flew backwards.
Not only were the children in high spirits, the surrounding crowd also cheered loudly.
Seeing this scene, Yan Zhaoge said, "That's right, this so-called 'Mister Dong' is precisely the founder of our clan's Dongge."
The exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge, the number one expert in Broad Creed Mountain's history. It was precisely when he had assumed the position of Clan Chief that Broad Creed Mountain had reached its peak in history.
At that peak, Zhan Dongge had been the number one expert of the Eight Extremities World, looking down on all heroes. Under his rule, Broad Creed Mountain had also been the undisputed number one Sacred Ground of the Eight Extremities World, overlooking everything under the heavens.
Unfortunately, just when Zhan Dongge and Broad Creed Mountain were at their peak, the world changed greatly.
Above the boundless ocean to the east of the Eight Extremities World, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
A passageway connected another Flame Devil World to the Eight Extremities World.
The lifeforms that ruled over the Flame Devil World were not humans, but the Flame Devils. They were innately powerful, and possessed violent temperaments.
When the Flame Devils invaded, Zhan Dongge and Broad Creed Mountain led the heroes of the world to resist them.
The Flame Devils had more experts, and the battle situation was disadvantageous to the Eight Extremities World. In the end, it was Zhan Dongge who fought one against five, slaying the number one expert of the Flame Devils, the Great Flame Devil King, while simultaneously slaying two other Flame Devil Kings, heavily injuring two of them. Only then was the battle situation reversed.
In the end, the Flame Devil race was forced to retreat to the Flame Devil World, and the human experts of the Eight Extremities World also suffered heavy losses.
The exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge single-handedly held the pass, achieving glorious results in battle. However, in the end, he was completely exhausted, dying from his injuries. More than half of Broad Creed Mountain's experts had also perished.
It was also after that, while the other Sacred Grounds had also suffered heavy losses, they had the chance to catch up to Broad Creed Mountain, who had suffered the heaviest losses. Afterwards, the Sacred Sun Clan gradually rose to prominence, becoming the new number one Sacred Ground.
All these years, the relationship between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan had not been harmonious, with the old and new kings not seeing eye to eye with each other.
The passageway between the two worlds still existed. While the Flame Devils had been repelled that year, the threat they posed still existed. In recent years, the two sides had still been embroiled in endless battles.
It was also precisely because of the existence of the Flame Devils and the checks and balances between the Sacred Grounds that the internal situation of the Eight Extremities World could still be considered peaceful.
Storytellers, opera artists and the like didn't dare to directly call Zhan Dongge by his full name, instead referring to him as' Mister Dongge '. Their knowledge of what had happened that year was naturally limited. Their various interpretations now were all extremely bizarre, like supernatural beings.
Of course, to ordinary citizens, Zhan Dongge was indeed like a mythical figure. Everything that had happened that year also seemed like a mythical tale.
Because it was beneficial to strengthening the clan's reputation and gathering the hearts of the people, Broad Creed Mountain did not prohibit this, just turning a blind eye to it.
Recalling the clan's records and the narratives of their seniors, the Broad Creed Mountain disciples all sighed, "That year, our clan … sigh!"
Standing beside Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu's expression suddenly changed slightly as he gazed in another direction.
Following his gaze, Yan Zhaoge saw a white-clothed man with a full beard appear.
