The East Sea was still filled with smoke.
At the entrance of the dimensional passageway leading to the Flame Devil Great World, the experts of the human race and the experts of the Flame Devil Great World were engaged in a heated battle.
With the Great Flame Devil King at their head, the numerous Flame Devil experts gathered, guarding the entrance of the dimensional passageway to the death.
In the vicinity of the entrance of the passageway, the heavens and the earth were all enveloped beneath white light. Yan Di, Old Man Mo, Huang Guanglie and Song Wuliang, the four great experts of the human race, wielded the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation together, their attacks pressuring towards the Flame Devils with a momentum that could topple mountains and overturn seas, wanting to repel them along with the corrosive power of the Flame Devil World.
Wielding the Extreme Yin Crown, Meng Wan and Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An Qinglin also relied on the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation to assist them in attacking the Flame Devils together.
Other areas of the Outer East Sea were also engaged in fierce battles.
The other human martial practitioners on Verdant Pill Island, the descendants of the Art Saint's lineage included, slaughtered those Flame Devils who had not been able to follow the Flame Devil Kings back to the dimensional passageway entrance in time.
Amongst these Flame Devils who had invaded the Eight Extremities World, there were many experts like the Great Flame Devils whose ferocity was stimulated as they engaged in a bloody battle with the human martial practitioners on the spot.
A bright sword-light flashed across the sky, slaying a Flame Devil.
The sword light disappeared, and a woman appeared. She had a beautiful face and a sharp temperament.
Lowering her head, she saw two figures on the surface of the sea killing some lower level Flame Devils as well.
Seeing this, the woman nodded slightly, "Yunsheng, Liuhua."
The two figures on the surface of the sea were precisely Broad Creed Mountain's two Maidens of Extreme Yin, Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua. They simultaneously bowed towards the woman in the air, "Master."
Fu Enshu descended, looking at Yin Liuhua, "Liuhua, are you sure that the person you met was the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Jie?"
Yin Liuhua answered, "This disciple has only seen images of him before. Seeing him from afar this time, after feeling that he seemed to be the World Illuminating Young Master, this disciple hurriedly avoided him. Still, I should not be mistaken."
She was a little perturbed. "Master, we are very far away from each other, and he didn't look at me. It should be okay, right?"
Hearing her words, Fu Enshu pondered for a moment before saying to Yin Liuhua, "Normally speaking, you, Liuhua, should not have been exposed to the eyes of the other Sacred Grounds as you should not have been recognised."
"But it's better to be careful. Don't act alone from now on."
Yin Liuhua hurriedly replied, "Yes, Master."
Fu Enshu nodded, considering whether she should first send Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua back to the clan.
Just as he was pondering, waves of fire surged before him, and yet another Flame Demon attacked him.
Fu Enshu could only suppress her thoughts and deal with the enemy in front of her.
The experts of the Flame Devils had been intercepted by her. Some of the Flame Devils with lower cultivation bases, equivalent to human Martial Scholars, had slipped through the net as Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua went up to receive them.
Fu Enshu took a closer look and could not help but frown.
After dealing with the Flame Devil in front of her, Fu Enshu said, "Liuhua, you still have to put in more effort in your usual cultivation."
Yin Liuhua muttered, "Yes, Master."
When Feng Yunsheng saw this, she sighed and sent a voice transmission to Fu Enshu, "Master, give Junior Sister Yin some more time."
Fu Enshu glanced at her, "The homework that has been given to her is already much lower than your standards, yet she is still slacking off."
"I can finally tell that this child is like a spinning top, only willing to move after being whipped. If I give her too much homework, she will only be able to complete seventy or eighty percent of it with all her might. If I give her less homework, she instead slacks off, still only completing eighty percent of it."
"If I keep a closer eye on her, she will still work a little harder. However, after just two days, she will revert to her old ways. Does she think that I can't tell?"
As Fu Enshu spoke, she felt a little angry, "Returning to the Clan this time, we will have to raise her homework. That way, she will be able to put in more effort."
Feng Yunsheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, as soon as junior apprentice-sister Yin entered the clan, she was raised as a Maiden of Extreme Yin, with the requirement that she improve by leaps and bounds within a short period of time, catching up to me and Meng Wan. However, none of us have asked her what her own expectations and goals are."
Feng Yunsheng's cultivation base and strength far surpassed Yin Liuhua's, while Yin Liuhua had currently not displayed any potential to threaten Feng Yunsheng at all. Therefore, Feng Yunsheng's words did not cause Fu Enshu to think otherwise.
Fu Enshu furrowed her brows, "Her problem lies in her love of ease and abhorrence of work. She usually does not put her heart and soul into her training. Even if she is not a Maiden of Extreme Yin, as a martial artist, she is still unqualified."
Feng Yunsheng sighed.
Fu Enshu snorted, "Liuhua is a solitary practitioner. Solitary practitioners have few resources and are in great danger. They have to rely on themselves to fight for opportunities. Generally speaking, their sense of danger and desire to improve themselves are even stronger than disciples from large sects."
As she spoke, Yan Zhaoge's words suddenly flashed through her mind, "Maybe junior apprentice-sister Yin just wants to live a little easier …"
Fu Enshu knit her brows, pondering as she swivelled her head to look at Yin Liuhua by the side.
As the two had been conversing via sound transmission earlier, Yin Liuhua, who had not heard the contents of their conversation, could not help but be at a loss as she met Fu Enshu's gaze now, "Master?"
Fu Enshu was silent for a long time before she finally sighed softly, her gaze that was on Yin Liuhua gradually turning gentle.
Seeing her Master's benevolent expression, Yin Liuhua relaxed greatly.
She was vaguely worried that Fu Enshu might be completely disappointed in her.
Of the disciples of the same generation in the clan, she was one of the few who received the best treatment, even far surpassing that of the other core, direct disciples like Xu Fei and Lu Wen.
Who else would receive the same treatment as her?
Yan Zhaoge, publicly acknowledged as the number one of the Eight Extremities World's younger generation.
Accurately speaking, Yan Zhaoge was already no longer receiving the clan's resources. Instead, he himself had become one of the people distributing the resources, no longer being the same as Yin Liuhua and the others.
Feng Yunsheng, the reason did not need to be stated.
Ying Longtu, breaking Yan Di's record as the youngest Martial Scholar of the Eight Extremities World of post-Great Calamity times.
Currently fifteen years old, he was already at the late outer aura stage, virtually destined to break Yan Di's record as the youngest Martial Grandmaster as well.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Sikong Qing who was under the same Master as Yin Liuhua, her martial potential and diligence far surpassed Yin Liuhua's. However, in terms of resources and treatment, she was also inferior to Yin Liuhua.
Yin Liuhua was well aware that this had never been because of her outstanding performance or any great contributions to the clan.
It was only because she possessed a unique Extreme Yin Physique.
It was because of this that she had been able to enjoy the best resources and treatment whilst living more and more comfortably till now.
If the clan no longer continued to groom her as a Maiden of Extreme Yin, first not mentioning whether or not she would be able to maintain her status as a core, direct disciple of Broad Creed Mountain, her resources in various areas would definitely plummet.
Yin Liuhua had still had some thoughts of chasing after Feng Yunsheng and vying for the Extreme Yin Crown when she had just entered the clan. However, such thoughts had long since faded away.
To her, that was no longer a goal. Instead, it was a tool that allowed her to obtain the excellent living environment and treatment she currently enjoyed.
While having a strict Master who was constantly nagging and nitpicking at her was not a good thing.
However, due to the many conveniences brought about by the Extreme Yin Bout and her Extreme Yin Physique, she was incomparably satisfied as she found it hard to part with them.
In terms of martial talent, she could still be considered outstanding. However, with her lazy personality, it was inevitable that she would be a little wasted.
While she was not outstanding amongst the core, direct disciples like this, she was also not at the bottom. A large part of this was because of the abundant resources of the clan.
Just thinking about how her future days would be after leaving all of this, Yin Liuhua felt flustered.
Now, seeing Fu Enshu's gentle expression, Yin Liuhua secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "This time, I should have … passed?"
