Xu Fei first bowed towards Fu Enshu before smiling and hugging Yan Zhaoge.
He appraised Yan Zhaoge, "Oh, your age …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled and nodded, "Only a little over a year has passed there."
Xue Fei shook his head and laughed. Fu Enshu asked, "How is Yuzhen?"
"Zhaoge's judgement is very accurate. The Rainbow Dawn Chalcedony is indeed helpful for Sister-in-law Yuzhen's condition." Xue Fei retracted his smile and said with a serious expression, "The current situation is much better than before, but sister-in-law Yuzhen has yet to wake up."
Xu Fei's expression was still comparatively more relaxed. Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu also relaxed.
"On this Directionless Island, I was pleasantly surprised to find a spirit spring. The spring water is also effective for sister-in-law Yuzhen. However, the spring water dried up a few decades ago. Now, only a small amount of spring water is produced."
Xue Fei said as he walked, "I will now suppress the ice coffin containing sister-in-law Yuzhen's body directly under the spring. I just don't know how long it will take."
"I must thank the friends of Changli Mountain for allowing us to borrow the spirit spring."
Bai Jingkang and the others hurriedly said that there was no need, and Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu expressed their thanks once more.
After visiting the Chief of Changli Mountain, the other party very considerately did not keep Yan Zhaoge and the others any longer, allowing them to head straight to the spirit spring in the back mountain and check on Ying Yuzhen's situation.
After analysing the spring water for a moment, Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, "To think that it could be found in this Vast Ocean World, the Ocean Scorching Spring.It is indeed effective for Sister-in-law Yuzhen. Sadly, the spring water has almost dried up, and we can only slowly grind it out now."
He sighed. "I'm afraid it will take many more years. The Sea Scorching Spring is not easy to carry around. It needs running water to be effective."
Yan Zhaoge looked rather worriedly at Xu Fei, "I had originally intended to bring you back home, back to the Eight Extremities World this time."
Xue Fei smiled and shook his head, "It's fine. Jun 'er and I will continue to stand guard here. Don't worry about us."
Yan Zhaoge said, "Seeing that you are safe and sound now, we can finally rest a little more at ease."
Xue Fei asked, "How is the current situation in the Eight Extremities World?"
As this was mentioned, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu exchanged glances, their expressions both turning rather gloomy.
Yan Zhaoge picked out the key pieces of information, summarizing them for Xu Fei to hear.
There were various pieces of news, both good and bad. The invasion of the Nine Underworlds in the Earth Domain had been repelled, the Flame Devils had been sealed in the East Sea and would not be able to cause trouble for a very long time, Yan Di had Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, his might presiding over the entire Eight Extremities World as he presided arrogantly over the entire Eight Extremities World.
Yuan Zhengfeng's disappearance, Fang Zhun's heavy injuries, Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua's situation unknown, their fates unknown, caused Xue Fei to knit his brows in worry.
"The main problem with Grandmaster is that he fell into space-time turbulence. I don't know where he went, so it's difficult to find him." Yan Zhaoge said softly, "Still, there is no need to worry too much about his safety. While he has lost an arm, he is still a Martial Saint and a veteran of the world. He should be able to turn the situation around."
"Second Martial Uncle, it'll be fine as long as he recuperates. I've dealt with him before I left, and I can confirm that his life is no longer in danger."
Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temples, "Instead, it's junior apprentice-sister Feng and the others whose situation is unknown. They might be facing a life-and-death crisis. Even without those of the Sacred Sun Clan making a move, if they were swept into the power of the seal, it would also be a situation of certain death for them."
After a long time, Xue Fei exhaled a long, turbid breath, "I hope that they can turn the situation around."
Yan Zhaoge fell silent.
He felt a rare anxiety creeping up from the bottom of his heart, requiring him to control it unceasingly as he warned himself to remain calm and rational.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Fu Enshu seemed to have felt something. Still, she did not speak in the end, just letting out a sigh that was hard to understand.
Xue Fei changed the topic, "Grand Master is missing, Chief is sealing the Flame Devils in the East Sea, and senior apprentice-uncle Fang is still in a deep slumber from his heavy injuries. Then, are the two Grand Elders in charge of the clan now?"
Yan Zhaoge stabilised his mind, saying, "Elder Zhang is sitting over the clan. After second apprentice-uncle has been sent back to the Mountain, he should be helping to look after them and treat their injuries."
"Elder He went to the East Sea together with my father …"
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at Fu Enshu, who said, "Senior apprentice-uncle He battled several Great Flame Devils alone, one of which was extremely close to being a Flame Devil King, not inferior to our Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters. Senior apprentice-uncle He slew his opponent, also sustaining injuries. Still, his life should not be in danger."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the two Grand Elders should be in charge of the clan now, with senior apprentice-brother Chang handling the day-to-day affairs on their behalf."
The senior apprentice-brother Chang that Fu Enshu spoke of was that previous East Sea First Seat Elder, Chang Zheng.
In the great tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain, Shi Tie of the Disciplinary Hall had perished. It had been Chang Zheng who had returned from the East Sea, taking over the position of First Seat Elder of the Disciplinary Hall. He was the head disciple of the Grand Elder Zhang Kun, a late Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster.
As compared to Shi Tie, Fang Zhun, Fu Enshu and the others, Yan Zhaoge was more unfamiliar with Chang Zheng who was often not at Broad Creed Mountain. After Chang Zheng had returned to the Mountain, it had been Yan Zhaoge's turn to frequently go out, the two not having any direct contact.
However, just from what he knew, this senior apprentice-uncle Chang was also one of the few peak figures of Broad Creed Mountain's senior generation, having stepped into the late Essence Talisman stage even earlier than Fu Enshu. Amongst those of the same generation, only Yan Di, Fang Zhun and Shi Tie were above him.
He had been the First Seat Elder of the West Heaven Region, the First Seat Elder of the East Sea, all the way to his current position of First Seat Elder of the Disciplinary Hall.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "I remember that senior apprentice-uncle Chang also went to the East Sea?"
Fu Enshu nodded, "That's right. Still, senior apprentice-brother Chang should be fine, not having been injured."
Xu Fei said, "In resisting the simultaneous invasion of the Flame Devils and the Nine Underworlds this time, our clan has sacrificed quite a bit. However, as long as we can get through this, the bitterness will be over and the sweetness will begin. Not mentioning anything else, once the seal of the East Sea is completely completed and Chief escapes, there will be no one who can stop him."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Just don't be too careless."
He exhaled lightly, "Anyway, we have to hurry back as soon as possible."
Fu Enshu said, "That's right. Now that you have refined a Martial Saint clone, having returned to the Eight Extremities World, you will be a force that cannot be neglected. Especially with junior apprentice-brother Yan, Old Man Mo, East Huang and Song Wuliang unable to leave the East Sea, an additional Martial Saint of our clan will be of great use."
"With the Clear Qi Robe and you, it will be sufficient for us to pass through this smoothly, waiting for junior apprentice-brother Yan to extricate himself from the East Sea."
Xu Fei smiled, "If junior apprentice-sister Feng and the others are blessed by the heavens, our clan will still have a high chance of obtaining the Extreme Yin Crown."
Yan Zhaoge nodded silently, "I hope that they will be safe."
In the following days, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu remained on Directionless Island, Fu Enshu recuperating from her injuries while Yan Zhaoge analysed on the martial dao while patiently waiting for the Lofty Prestige Mirror to recover.
At the same time, he also waited for Shi Jun to return to Changli Mountain. Yan Zhaoge very much hoped to see the already grown Shi Jun.
Unexpectedly, however, Shi Jun did not return. Instead, he received news related to him.
"What did you say?" Yan Zhaoge and Xu Fei both looked in shock at Changli Mountain's Bai Jingkang, "Little Jun 'er abducted someone's daughter, their whereabouts now unknown?"
