Yan Zhaoge smiled as he looked at Chen Qi, who composed himself, "I wonder what kind of supreme martial art it is, to be able to receive such a high evaluation from Young Master Yan?"
"Once one cultivates Gang Qi, one will become as hot as fire and turn fertile land into scorched earth. The key is that the firepower is extremely violent. Martial artists at the level of Physical Invulnerability Grandmaster can cause great damage." Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "From what I know, in this current world, other than the six great Sacred Grounds, I have never heard of such a powerful fire-type aura-qi martial art."
"In history, I've heard of a few, but logically speaking, they should have been lost. For example, the Burning Sun Evil Manual, the Fire Fiend God Technique of the Five Elements Fiend Gods, the Scorched Earth Battle Qi, and the Scorched Sun Sword Fiend."
Yan Zhaoge gazed at Chen Qi, "I know that there are countless strange people and strange things happening beyond the seas, and that some experts might not even be known to us inland people for their entire lives. Still, they should not be able to escape the eyes of Verdant Pill Island."
Chen Qi was silent for a moment, "Perhaps my Master would know a bit more. I have not traveled much in the outside world, so I am unable to give Young Master Yan an accurate answer in such a short time."
Yan Zhaoge nodded understandingly, "This is also not strange. Please help me verify it."
Chen Qi replied, "Young Master Yan is too polite."
His hands behind his back, Yan Zhaoge strode amidst space as he said calmly, "My junior apprentice-sister is currently tempering beyond the seas. If you of the Painting Saint's lineage meet her, please take care of her. This Yan thanks you first."
Chen Qi let out a long breath, "Relax, Young Master Yan. While Broad Creed Mountain's lineage and my Verdant Pill Island do not have much contact, the exalted Heaven Shaker, the Heaven Diviner and many other bigwigs of Broad Creed Mountain fought the Flame Devils to the death for the Eight Extremities World, defending the human realm. We all feel great admiration for them."
"Your esteemed sect's disciples are traveling across the sea. If they run into any trouble, I and my fellow disciples will help them."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "If that is so, that would be best. This Yan first thanks you on behalf of my junior apprentice-sister here."
He stood in the air, his feet not moving as he looked at Chen Qi, "Since that's the case, I won't hold you up any longer. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
Chen Qi looked deeply at Yan Zhaoge, "Then, I will take my leave. Young Master Yan, farewell."
The Light Rainbow Sword flashed once again, and Chen Qi's body turned into a rainbow as he streaked across the sky.
However, although he didn't turn back, the direction he was heading in was completely different from the direction he had come from.
The purplish-green light of thunder flickered within Yan Zhaoge's right eye as he confirmed that Chen Qi had retreated in the face of difficulty, not trying to play some crafty trick to bypass him and continue chasing. Shrugging his shoulders, Yan Zhaoge turned to leave this region of sea, chasing after Ah Hu and the others.
Ah Hu, Sikong Qing and Ouyang Qi sat on Pan-Pan's back. Pan-Pan leisurely walked on the surface of the sea, his laziness reappearing as if he was still half-asleep.
When Yan Zhaoge reappeared, Pan-Pan instantly became spirited, looking like he was working hard and performing well.
Yan Zhaoge didn't know whether to laugh or to cry at its indolent behavior.
Patting his big head, Pan-Pan grinned, revealing a very human-like simple and honest smile.
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at Ah Hu, saying exasperatedly, "One is marked by the company one keeps, one is marked by the company one keeps."
Ah Hu also smiled foolishly.
Yan Zhaoge leapt onto Pan-Pan's back, sitting down in the meditative position as he asked Ouyang Qi, "Your Master's name is Chen Qi?"
Ouyang Qi answered, "Yes, that is precisely my Master."
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "What, having entered your Master's tutelage, don't you have to change your name as a taboo?"
Ouyang Qi didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, "Even overseas people don't pay attention to this."
"So that's how it is." Yan Zhaoge shrugged, no longer asking anything, instead saying simply, "In the coming days, I will invite you to return to our clan as a guest for a period of time. As for how long, that will depend on the wishes of our clan's seniors. I will not interfere."
Ouyang Qi lowered his head, sighing.
Ah Hu asked, "Young Master, are we still returning to Stone Rock City?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "Senior apprentice-brother Xu should have already brought Jun 'er and the others back to the clan. There is no need for us to go to Stone Rock City."
"I intend to remain on the sea for a period of time, properly analysing the Flame Devils."
"After the consecutive bloody battles that year, the Flame Devils similarly suffered a great blow to their vitality. However, in recent years, the movements of the Flame Devils have been growing greater and greater. I feel that they are also gradually recovering their strength, becoming a little restless once more."
"Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Before troops and horses move, intelligence comes first. Some preparations are best done as early as possible."
Swivelling his head to look at Sikong Qing, Yan Zhaoge said, "For junior apprentice-sister Sikong's injuries to be healed completely, just recuperating alone would require quite a bit of time. Therefore, I might as well concoct some medicine. Since I do not have all the ingredients on hand, let's first go to East Dragon Island."
The head of the Water Domain's Nine Cities, the Sacred Ground Jade Sea City, was located on the number one island of the East Sea, East Dragon Island. With East Dragon Island as its centre, it controlled the vast heavens and earth of the surrounding Inner East Sea.
Sikong Qing said, "If senior apprentice-brother Yan wants to go meet the Flame Devils, you can go first. There is no need to care about me. With senior apprentice-brother's help earlier, my injuries are already no longer a problem. I just need to slowly recover."
Yan Zhaoge said, "It's fine. There are some things that I still need to carefully think through."
His gaze shifted between Sikong Qing and Ouyang Qi. Seeing this, Sikong Qing nodded, no longer saying anything.
Riding the wind and traversing the sea, they arrived at the outskirts of the Inner East Sea before heading towards East Dragon Island.
As the number one island of the East Sea, East Dragon Island was also the largest island of the entire vast ocean. While it was called an island, it was more like a piece of land.
As Yan Zhaoge and the others neared East Dragon Island, they would naturally draw the attention of the Water Domain's Sacred Ground, Jade Sea City.
This was equivalent to where Jade Sea City was located.
Yan Zhaoge's identity was not ordinary. He was the son of Jade Sea City's City Lord Song Wuliang, a leading figure of the Water Domain's younger generation, the Seven Seas Young Master Song Chao, had personally come out to receive him.
The two could already be considered acquaintances now. After meeting, they naturally had to exchange pleasantries.
Sikong Qing was on good terms with Li Jingwan. Previously, when passing through the Water Domain, she had also travelled alongside Song Chao. Now that they had reunited, they similarly had topics to talk about.
As for Ouyang Qi, he had been watched over by Ah Hu, not appearing in public.
"Junior apprentice-brother Yan is so bold, actually going to the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains." Song Chao said as they walked, "However, if you do not intend to return to Broad Creed Mountain at the moment, still moving about on the sea, you still have to be more careful. Having suffered a great loss in the Extreme Northern Lands this time, the Heavenly Thunder Hall will probably target you even more. The environment on the sea is rather complicated, and even when our clan's disciples move about outside, it is often hard for them to ensure their safety. "
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It is also precisely because of this that most of your clan's disciples are capable and outstanding, not getting flustered in the face of danger, isn't that so?"
Song Chao smiled, shaking his head, "Junior apprentice-brother Yan praises me too much. Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation's heroes are endless, really putting us to shame."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, he said, "Anyway, over at the Heavenly Thunder Hall, junior apprentice-brother Yan should still pay more attention."
Yan Zhaoge smiled and nodded, but within his heart, he was thinking that if the Sacred Sun Clan knew that the incident in the Southern Underground Palace had something to do with him, they would probably want to strangle him to death even more. (To be continued.)
