Not every youngster could be like Yan Zhaoge, his name shaking the entire Eight Extremities World, virtually known by everyone.
Even ordinary people who did not cultivate in martial arts, even if they did not recognise Yan Zhaoge's appearance, would have heard of his name before.
As the most famous expert of the younger generation, Yan Zhaoge's name could currently be described as reverberating like thunder.
Of the martial practitioners of the Eight Extremities World, other than those who had completely secluded themselves from the world, even those who resided beyond the seas mostly knew of his existence. Most of them had even seen Yan Zhaoge's portrait before.
As for Sikong Qing, comparatively speaking, there were much fewer people who recognised her.
However, this' few 'was only relatively speaking. It was only when compared to Yan Zhaoge that she appeared few.
In truth, having participated in the Heavenly Connection Meet, as a rising star of Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation, Sikong Qing had already been marked in the hearts of the higher echelon experts of the various Sacred Grounds.
Meanwhile, the other first and second-rate powers had always followed the footsteps of the various Sacred Grounds.
Sikong Qing possessed outstanding talent in the martial dao, her outer appearance also outstanding, making it hard for one to forget her.
Under such circumstances, if someone who resembled her to the point of being virtually identical to her did not cultivate in martial arts, as long as they entered the line of sight of higher level martial practitioners, whether male or female, they would all be noticed.
Broad Creed Mountain's own Heaven Domain and the Wind Domain which it controlled over half of, other than the Fire Domain and the Thunder Domain, the Mountain Domain where Infinite Boundless Mountain was, the Water Domain where Jade Sea City was and the Lake Domain where Turbid Wave Pavilion was, if they discovered her, they would all inform Broad Creed Mountain.
It was only in a remote region like the seas where the existence of the Painting Saint Old Man Mo prevented the Sacred Grounds from expanding their influence, that the environment would be relatively isolated.
With Sikong Qing's current influence, she was still unable to let all the martial practitioners of the seas know of her existence.
At the same time, with people like Ouyang Qi and Chang Ning appearing here, it would be very hard for the inland regions and even the Water Domain's Jade Sea City to discover them.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Sikong Qing.
If it was really as he had thought, that there were many 'Sikong Qing's, to an unimaginable extent, and these people were all of the same age, of the same generation, in the Eight Extremities World, logically speaking, it was impossible that no news at all had spread.
Yan Zhaoge estimated that even counting those like that fisherman who might have been buried, unable to enter the world of martial practitioners, there would not be too many of them.
If that was the case, then where were all the "Sikong Qings"?
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "After the Great Calamity, what exactly did it become?"
Not counting the Nine Underworlds which encroached everywhere, the Eight Extremities World was relatively sealed off. Other than the Flame Devil World, it was not connected to any other worlds. As a result, Yan Zhaoge's current understanding of the environment outside of the Eight Extremities World was limited.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, his attention returning to Sikong Qing and Ouyang Qi before him.
Looking first at Ouyang Qi and then at Chang Ning, Yan Zhaoge curled his lips slightly.
From the looks of it, the master and disciple had actually discovered the problem by chance. They were still trying to figure it out and did not have a detailed plan.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, getting Ah Hu to escort Ouyang Qi before they all set off together, leaving the Outer East Sea and returning to the Water Domain.
Sikong Qing's trip out this time was to temper herself. According to her original plan, it was still far from time to return.
Being brought along by Yan Zhaoge like this now was also going against his original intentions.
However, after experiencing the matter of killing Chang Ning and seeing Ouyang Qi, Sikong Qing's emotions were very complicated. She needed to find a place to calm down.
It was not that Sikong Qing had never killed before, but the feeling of killing an opponent who had the same face as her was really not something that outsiders could understand.
Yan Zhaoge looked rather interestedly at Sikong Qing.
While she had still not recovered somewhat afterwards, having not shown mercy in that moment of life and death, Sikong Qing's will was indeed commendable.
After all, Chang Ning had grown up alongside Ouyang Qi, having also seen the corpse of that fisherman who had perished.
However, it had been Sikong Qing's first time meeting such a person.
In terms of mental preparation, Chang Ning was much better than Sikong Qing. It was not rare for her to be able to make a move without hesitation, but it was not easy for Sikong Qing.
Sikong Qing swivelled her head to look at Yan Zhaoge, hesitating slightly for a moment before asking, "Senior apprentice-brother Yan, you have always been knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of a situation like mine?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "I have to disappoint you; I am also not omniscient and omnipotent."
"It is just that knowing too many things, I have many guesses. However, from the current situation, the known clues are still too little."
Looking at Sikong Qing, many guesses indeed flashed through Yan Zhaoge's mind. However, most of them were rejected by him.
"However, junior apprentice-sister Sikong, while this may be your private matter, it may involve the Painting Saint, Old Man Mo. Therefore, I have to report this matter to the clan."
Hearing Yan Zhaoge's words, Sikong Qing nodded, "I understand."
As they walked, the purple light of thunder suddenly flashed within Yan Zhaoge's right eye.
He swivelled his head to look into the distance, an expression that looked like he was smiling whilst also not appearing on his face as he said mildly, "Ah Hu, bring them along first. I'll be there very soon."
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh, "Yes, Young Master."
They sat on Pan-Pan's back, traversing the sea as they were far away in an instant.
Yan Zhaoge, his hands behind his back, stood leisurely in the air above the sea's surface.
Very quickly, a powerful aura appeared in the distance, a sword-light like a rainbow as it streaked across the horizon, currently hurrying over.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Of the direct lineage of the Painting Saint of Verdant Pill Island, 'Ocean Crossing Long Rainbow'?"
His voice was not loud, but it seemed to reverberate between the surrounding heavens and the earth, its aura as high as the sky. It was precisely the manifestation of Broad Creed Mountain's direct lineage Clear Qi Profound Art having been cultivated to a high level.
The sword-light that resembled a rainbow halted, an Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster in the form of a middle-aged man appearing.
This middle-aged man carefully appraised Yan Zhaoge with a glance before saying slowly, "Are you the Broad Creed Young Master, Yan Zhaoge? I am Chen Qi, and 'Ocean Crossing Long Rainbow' is precisely my Master. "
Currently, they were located beyond the seas, not within the domain of Broad Creed Mountain's influence. However, as one of the current Sacred Grounds, Broad Creed Mountain's reputation was also extraordinary.
This was especially so when Yuan Zhengfeng had domineeringly stepped into the Martial Saint realm, exterminated the Decimating Abyss in the battle of Broad Creed Mountain, dominating the Sacred Sun Clan, all of which had caused Broad Creed Mountain's reputation to flourish even further.
And with Yan Zhaoge's status and fame, Chen Qi was unable to look down on him just because of his age.
Moreover, not mentioning his lineage, in his trip to the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains, Yan Zhaoge had lost quite a few Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters of the Heavenly Thunder Hall. While the Heavenly Thunder Hall had tried to conceal it, some rumours had still leaked out.
Yan Zhaoge who had originally already been domineering, there would be even less people who would treat him as an ordinary Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster.
While Chen Qi was older and had a high cultivation base, barely being in his territory, facing the sudden appearance of Yan Zhaoge now, his heart was still a little uneasy.
Yan Zhaoge said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "This Yan greets you here. To tell you the truth, having seen your sword-light of the Light Rainbow Sword, I have guessed that you are of the direct lineage of the Painting Saint. Actually, I have something to ask of you."
Chen Qi said, "I dare not say that I am asking for help. Young Master Yan, please feel free to speak your mind."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "I have a junior apprentice-sister who has come to the seas to temper herself. A few days ago, I heard that someone was looking for trouble with her. Therefore, as her senior apprentice-brother, I have specially come to take a look."
"I have already seen the place where the battle took place. The martial arts executed by the other party are extremely high grade, virtually not inferior to those of the direct lineage of the Sacred Grounds."
Chen Qi's expression did not change, but his gaze was slightly unnatural. Yan Zhaoge smiled, asking, "In the lands beyond the seas, the Painting Saint reigns supreme, his disciples also often residing beyond the seas. He should be extremely familiar with the situation here. I would like to enquire whether, other than the Painting Saint's lineage, there are any experts from beyond the seas who have obtained such a profound legacy?"
