Because the battlefield was at the Outer Sea, most of the younger generation disciples participating in the battle originated from Jade Sea City, the Heavenly Thunder Hall and Turbid Wave Pavilion.
The younger generation disciples of Broad Creed Mountain, the Sacred Sun Clan and Infinite Boundless Mountain were mostly like Yan Zhaoge and Sikong Qing.
The disciples of the younger generation were mostly active in the inner sea as well, purging the roaming Flame Devils. They did not step into the outer sea where the main battlefield was.
However, there were exceptions.
Lightning flashed, and a Flame Devil was slain.
The Flame Demon's body exploded, as if a rain of fire had fallen from the sky.
Amidst the blazing rain of fire, a figure appeared. It was a one-eyed young man who emitted an icy aura.
Heavenly Thunder Hall's direct lineage, the Thunder Rumbling Young Master, Lin Zhou.
Beside him were the other Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners, all of their faces dark.
Lin Zhou's hair was tied with a white veil, and it slid across his face, covering his left eye.
His remaining right eye was currently gazing into the distant sea.
After a moment, Lin Zhou retracted his gaze, swivelling his head to look at the other Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners beside him as he said slowly, "I thank all of you for remembering my father's feelings, being willing to take this risk with me."
"Junior Brother Lin, there's no need to say that. Avenging Master is our duty as disciples. However, you said earlier that you had a way to deal with those of Broad Creed Mountain … "A middle-aged man beside Lin Zhou said in a heavy tone," We also agreed to your choice of Yan Zhaoge as your target. However, we can't even find his figure now. "
Lin Zhou said lightly, "There's no need to look for him on purpose. If we look for him on purpose, it will make him vigilant instead."
"Although I still don't understand the reason, there are others who can help us find him."
The middle-aged man asked, "Who?"
A cold light flashed in Lin Zhou's right eye. "Flame Demon."
Hearing this, the people around him fell into deep thought.
"Yan Zhaoge …" Lin Zhou muttered to himself, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind for a time as his past memories overlapped with his current situation, making it hard for him to remain calm.
With the news of the invasion of the Flame Devils having spread, Jade Sea City's Lord Song Wuliang being in secluded cultivation, not having immediately rushed to the Outer East Sea, Lin Zhou had already felt that something was wrong.
Afterwards, the two Flame Devil Kings had moved stealthily together, raiding Jade Sea City's territory.
Meanwhile, while Song Wuliang remained in Jade Sea City, he had yet to leave seclusion, seemingly having sunk into a state of death seclusion as he allowed the two Flame Devil Kings to wreak havoc, looking like they were about to tear down Jade Sea City.
This allowed Lin Zhou to heave a sigh of relief in his heart because the situation seemed to have returned to the right track in his heart.
But what happened next was completely unexpected.
While they had not personally witnessed it, the news had already long since spread on the East Sea that Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge had single-handedly led away a Flame Devil King, temporarily alleviating the dangerous situation that Jade Sea City was in.
What caused others to sigh in admiration was that Yan Zhaoge had not sacrificed himself, instead successfully contending with the Flame Devil King as a Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster, finally retreating unscathed.
While the Flame Devil King Jing Zhong who was equivalent to a second level Martial Saint had arrived, causing the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang who had been drawn away by Yan Zhaoge to return to Jade Sea City, the miracle that Yan Zhaoge had accomplished was still sufficient to leave everyone sighing in admiration.
At this moment, the situation had completely exceeded Lin Zhou's expectations.
In the end, when the Blue Sea Pill Heart Sword was born, Lin Zhou was even a little numb.
"Jade Sea City's Sacred Artifact should still be lacking some materials, being unable to be forged." Lin Zhou pondered, "It is just that I don't know what materials they are. Could it be that some unforeseen event earlier resulted in the materials being gathered?"
He shook his head. There was already no meaning in thinking about Jade Sea City's Sacred Artifact now.
What Lin Zhou was more interested in was how Yan Zhaoge had drawn away the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang.
"If that Ye Jing who has long since died, if he had come to this East Sea and met with the Flame Devils, he would have caused quite a bit of disturbance, drawing the attention of the Flame Devils." Light flickered in Lin Zhou's right eye, "It is rumoured that Ye Jing was killed by Yan Zhaoge. Could it be that something of his fell into Yan Zhaoge's hands?"
Lin Zhou leapt into the sea, the other Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners exchanging looks as they followed behind him.
They descended all the way to the bottom of the sea.
Lin Zhou observed as he advanced, seemingly searching for something.
A moment later, the underwater mountain range appeared before their eyes.
Lin Zhou landed on the rocky mountain at the bottom of the sea, his sword-light flickering as he pierced through the rock.
Instantly, an extremely hot aura emanated from below.
The middle-aged man beside Lin Zhou frowned, "An underwater volcano?"
"Senior apprentice-brother Luo, this is not simply an underwater volcano," Lin Zhou said, "Accurately speaking, this is the Fire Pith Vein. Having been disturbed, it is about to gush out of the earth's surface."
"Where we are now, is precisely one of these nodes."
The middle-aged man surnamed Luo was slightly shocked, "Who disturbed the Fire Pith Vein here? Could it be … the Flame Devils?! "
Lin Zhou said, "I don't think it could be anyone else."
Another skinny, yet fierce-looking man beside him said, "Junior apprentice-brother Lin, how do you know of this? Have you informed the Seniors of the clan? "
Lin Zhou answered, "I unintentionally discovered a similar situation earlier. At first, I also thought that it was simply an underwater volcano about to erupt, but afterwards discovered that there seemed to be some force intentionally concealing its traces, thus causing my suspicions to arise."
"I haven't had the time to inform the Seniors of the clan. Senior apprentice-brother Zhang, senior apprentice-brother Luo, you two should quickly report this to Grand Master now."
The expression of the skinny senior apprentice-brother Zhang changed, "We report it?"
This was clearly a share of the credit.
Lin Zhou said calmly, "The only thing I am considering now is killing Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge."
Senior apprentice-brother Luo and Senior apprentice-brother Zhang had solemn expressions on their faces, "What do you want to do?"
Lin Zhou said, "The Flame Devils will very likely make use of the eruption of the underground Fire Pith Vein to launch a counterattack."
Actually, this should have been a decisive blow.
In Lin Zhou's memories, Jade Sea City had been destroyed by the sneak attack of two Flame Devil Kings, while Song Wuliang and the other higher echelon experts of Jade Sea City who had gone out to participate in the battle, Song Wuliang included, had all perished in the following battle. As a result, Jade Sea City had walked towards destruction, following in the footsteps of Black Nightmare Mountain.
Now that they had Yuan Zhengfeng who had stepped into the Martial Saint realm, and Song Wuliang also had the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, the strength of the Eight Extremities World participating in the battle had been even greater.
The Flame Devils had instead lost a Flame Devil King, Cheng Huang. With this, it would be very hard for the Flame Devils to obtain the battle results in Lin Zhou's memories.
However, with the human experts who were currently unceasingly reclaiming their lost territory and launching a counterattack against the Flame Devils now suffering such a sudden attack, the situation inevitably became even more complicated.
Lin Zhou said indifferently, "If our clan's seniors are careful, this battle might instead become a fortuitous encounter for our clan."
"As for us, we just have to wait here. While the Flame Devils seem to be retreating in defeat now, they are actually just waiting for a chance to counterattack. However, as long as we carefully follow the flow of the fire veins, even if the Fire Pith Vein erupts here, we will still be able to ensure our safety. "
"Next, we will observe. Wherever the Flame Devils congregate, we will go. Yan Zhaoge is likely to be there."
… …
"Young Master, you …" Having just returned from receiving the news, Ah Hu stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied at the scene before him.
Yan Zhaoge rushed before him, asking nonchalantly, "What, is there a situation?"
Ah Hu said dazedly, "Someone saw the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Lin Zhou leave the region of sea of Long Ocean City, entering the Outer East Sea …"
Not waiting for him to finish, Yan Zhaoge abruptly grabbed him, next descending deeper into the sea together.
As the two descended, at virtually the same time, blazing fire evaporated the seawater, streaking past their heads. (To be continued.)
