In the Central Heaven Region, deep within the mountains of Broad Creed Mountain, there was a cave manor. This was where Broad Creed Mountain disciples went into secluded cultivation.
The stone door outside the cave, which had been closed all this time, suddenly opened slowly.
A girl of only fifteen or sixteen years of age walked out. She was dressed in a white dress, giving the mottled forest a bright tint of colour, resembling a lily quietly blooming in the night.
Outside the cave, two youths were waiting. Seeing the girl come out, their faces revealed smiles, "Junior apprentice-sister Lin has come out of seclusion?"
Lin Yushao smiled warmly, first bowing to the two, "Senior apprentice-brother."
The two youths returned her greeting, one of them smiling, "Congratulations junior apprentice-sister Lin for making a huge breakthrough in secluded cultivation. If you complete a few more missions, you should be able to wear a blue robe."
According to Broad Creed Mountain's rules, ordinary young disciples were all dressed in white. Ye Jing, Lan Wenyan and the others, as well as Lin Yushao's group of three, were all like this.
Those with outstanding talent, cultivation reaching a certain realm, and having gone through enough trials and training, wearing a blue robe over their white robes, were usually referred to as elite disciples. They were the focus of the clan's nurturing, such as Sikong Qing.
Above them was Yan Zhaoge, who wore a blue robe over his white robe, his robe edged with black. He was known as a core, direct disciple, but his status was different. His authority and treatment were the highest, and he was also the rarest.
Lin Yushao smiled, "My cultivation time is short, my foundation is not stable, and I also lack experience in adventuring outside. I'm still a long way from becoming a blue-robed disciple."
"In the future, if I have the chance to go out adventuring with my two senior apprentice-brothers, please give me some pointers."
The two youths looked at each other, both smiling, thinking, "With senior apprentice-brother Yan that tree to shelter you from the wind and rain, what mission can you not pass?"
However, the other party was humble and obedient, not taking advantage of Yan Zhaoge to intimidate him. This naturally made the two happy, laughing together, "With senior apprentice-brother Yan leading you, what need is there for us?"
"On the contrary, if we can go adventuring together with senior apprentice-brother Yan, it will be a huge opportunity for us. At that time, I hope junior apprentice-sister Lin can mention our names in front of senior apprentice-brother Yan."
Lin Yushao smiled, "Senior apprentice-brother Yan's experience is much higher than ours. He naturally has his own ideas."
"But personally speaking, I hope to travel with you two Senior Brothers."
The two opposite them both smiled. Everyone knew that the true decision maker would still be Yan Zhaoge. Still, Lin Yushao's stance was already sufficient for them.
Lin Yushao asked, "Senior apprentice-brothers, do you know if senior apprentice-brother Yan is currently at the clan?"
A Broad Creed Mountain disciple shook his head, "A while ago, senior apprentice-brother Yan led a group of fellow disciples to the Sealing Dragon Abyss in the East Heaven Region's Eastern Tang Kingdom. Afterwards, he stayed there and has yet to return to the mountain."
"East Heaven Continent … Eastern Tang Kingdom …" Lin Yushao was silent for a moment, her eyes drifting for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
That Broad Creed Mountain disciple glanced at her, hesitating slightly before continuing, "Junior apprentice-brother Ye Jing also went along. I heard that he seems to have gone missing."
Lin Yushao's eyes flickered, and her body stiffened. She heard the man continue, "However, it's just a missing person. It's still uncertain whether he's dead or alive."
The other person looked at Lin Yushao and suddenly said in a low voice, "Senior apprentice-sister Sikong also went along. There are rumors that after leaving the Sealing Dragon Abyss this time, her attitude towards senior apprentice-brother Yan seemed to have changed somewhat …"
Lin Yushao was silent for a moment, then her expression gradually returned to normal. She softly said, "I hope that Ye … junior apprentice-brother is blessed by the heavens."
Regardless of what happened before, they were all from the same clan after all. What she said was completely normal.
It was just that the two Broad Creed Mountain disciples looked at each other, a strange smile on their faces. They nodded in agreement, "That's right, I hope that he's blessed by the heavens."
The three of them said their goodbyes. Lin Yushao stood quietly outside the stone manor, as if she were a statue, not moving at all.
After a long time, she let out a light sigh, finally feeling a bit angry.
After reporting the results of her secluded cultivation to the elders of the clan, Lin Yushao requested to leave the mountain and head to the East Heaven Region's Eastern Tang Kingdom.
That was also her hometown.
Hearing her request, the Elder's gaze inevitably became a bit ambiguous. Everyone knew that Yan Zhaoge was currently in the Eastern Tang Kingdom.
However, the Elder did not stop her, and very straightforwardly approved her request.
Lin Yushao was as gentle and polite as ever. She excused herself, then returned to her residence, packed her belongings, and left the clan.
It was just that under her calm exterior, her emotions were extremely complicated. Even she herself could not understand why she wanted to head to the Eastern Tang Kingdom so urgently …
… …
Yan Zhaoge was currently in the Luliao Mountains, waiting for the report of his subordinates searching for Ye Jing and Meng Wan.
"Young Master, Miss Lin has left seclusion, and is currently heading over to the Eastern Tang Kingdom."
Receiving his subordinate's report, Yan Zhaoge blinked his eyes, feeling curious, "Why is she in such a hurry to come over?"
For someone who had never met, never spoken to, never communicated with, and could only search through the memories of his body's original owner, Yan Zhaoge currently did not have much of an impression of Lin Yushao. There were no good or bad feelings.
Regarding the opinions and understanding of these people who had interacted with his body's original owner, Yan Zhaoge believed in personally interacting with them and understanding them. The original owner's memories were just data.
Although this junior apprentice-sister Lin could be considered the original source of conflict between him and Ye Jing.
In the end, this girl and the original owner of his current body had some sort of relationship. In the eyes of others, she and he were still lovers.
"Oh, since she has finally left seclusion, let's first meet her and see what kind of person she is." Yan Zhaoge thought for a moment, then retracted his thoughts and once again focused on the matter of searching for Ye Jing and Meng Wan.
"If we can find them, then we'll search. If we can't, it's fine too." Yan Zhaoge said carelessly, "However, if we find Ye Jing's whereabouts, don't make a move. Ascertaining his whereabouts is enough. I will personally deal with him."
The others only thought that Yan Zhaoge wanted to personally take action to vent his anger, so of course they agreed.
"But that Meng Wan …" Yan Zhaoge pondered in his heart, "Chao Yuanlong … Xiao Shen … Meng Wan … the Sun Saint Clan's people have gathered so densely around the Sealing Dragon Abyss and the Luliao Mountains. What are they doing here?"
Yan Zhaoge's interest was piqued a little.
Information on the Sun Saint Clan's side was naturally much more difficult to gather. The information Yan Zhaoge had on hand was also fragmented and simple.
The only thing he could be sure of was that they did not come for the abnormalities in the Sealing Dragon Abyss, but rather seemed to be searching for something.
From the looks of it, it seemed more like their personal actions, and not that the Sun Saint Clan had sent them.
"Young master." A black-clothed man suddenly appeared in front of Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Whose whereabouts have you found?"
"That Maiden of Extreme Yin of the Sun Saint Clan."
Yan Zhaoge nonchalantly snapped his fingers, "Lead the way, let's go take a look together. As for Ah Hu, let him continue searching for Ye Jing."
It was rare that Meng Wan was alone far from the clan, and from the looks of it, it also did not seem like the Sun Saint Clan had experts hidden behind her, setting up an ambush.
If there was no chance, then so be it. If there was a chance and he did not do something, Yan Zhaoge felt that he would not have the face to return to Broad Creed Mountain.
In a battle between two Sacred Grounds, if there was no third party interfering, just one side having a Martial Saint or a Sacred Artifact, it would already be able to affect the balance of the battle, even determining victory or defeat.
Not to mention the fact that the Extreme Yin Crown was not something that ordinary Sacred Artifacts could compare to. If the Maiden of Extreme Yin who wielded it stepped into the Martial Grandmaster realm, its power would be even greater.
The only problem was, if he did something, to what extent?
… Kill her?
That seemed a little too ruthless.
And if the news leaked, the entire Sun Saint Clan would go berserk, and the result would immediately be an all-out war between the two Sacred Grounds.
Previously in the icy cold pond, Meng Wan had already suffered some injuries. Would these injuries ensure that she would be defeated in the next Extreme Yin Bout?
Yan Zhaoge pondered as he sped through the mountains.
"Young master." At this time, another subordinate came to report, "There are other Sun Saint Clan disciples moving around nearby. They should be the people who had travelled with Chao Yuanlong."
