Outside, Yan Zhaoge had fought a heaven-shaking, earth-overturning battle with Lin Qiancheng and Fang Kan, but he had still avoided exposing his relationship with Xu Fei and Shi Jun as much as possible, fearing that they would be implicated.
This was especially so after having come to Changli Mountain this time and learnt that Shi Jun had long since left, Yan Zhaoge rejoiced slightly at his earlier caution.
With the flaws of Lin Qiancheng's Illusory Shadow Demonic Art having been exposed, he now had to carefully avoid the limelight lest he be encircled.
With the Chief of Spirit Rhino Island Fang Kan killed, while there were still many experts, with the Sweet Pouring Raindew vein that Yan Zhaoge had left behind, they were still at loggerheads with the Spirit Returning Sect. They would not be able to extricate themselves for a while as they were left in a terrible state.
However, Yan Zhaoge did not forget that there was another Sacred Ground level power of the Vast Ocean World that had enmity with him, the Evil Shifting Sect of the Six Evil Sects.
The number one Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster of the Evil Shifting Sect, 'Dark Evil' Jiang Xiong, had been slain by Yan Zhaoge in the Bewildering Maze Sea along with a few other Martial Grandmasters.
The news had been spread by Spirit Rhino Island back then.
During the battle of the Deep Sea Corridor, having learnt that Yan Zhaoge had appeared, the Evil Shifting Sect had hurried over as well. Still, whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, they had been a step too late.
When the Chief of the Evil Shifting Sect had arrived, the battle of the Deep Sea Corridor had already been concluded. Yan Zhaoge had left after shocking the world.
With the Northern Ocean Clone present, the Chief of the Evil Shifting Sect had not dared to pursue Yan Zhaoge alone as he could only give up resentfully.
Yan Zhaoge had still been a little worried earlier that if those of the Evil Shifting Sect knew of his relationship with Xu Fei and Shi Jun, they might make things difficult for Shi Jun.
However, he would never have thought that the news he had received had nothing to do with the Evil Shifting Sect at all. Instead, it was that Shi Jun had abducted a female disciple of the Blood Dragon Sect, vanishing together with her.
"What exactly is going on?" Yan Zhaoge was tongue-tied as he did not know whether to laugh or to cry, "It shouldn't be eloping, right? This kid can do it. I think very highly of him. "
Bai Jingkang who had come to report the news could not laugh, "The one who has gone missing is the Blood Dragon Sect's Chief Shen Shicheng."
"The Blood Dragon Sect has sent back news … It was that Jun who wanted Shen Ying. Blood Sect disciples tried to stop him, but Shi Jun killed two of them and heavily injured one. In the end, Shen Ying was abducted, then. She Shen, Ying, her Shen Ying, and, and, and,. and, Shen Ying, he, Sh.,
Xue Fei frowned. "How is that possible?"
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, looking at Xu Fei, "According to your description of Shi Jun's character these past few days, it doesn't seem like something he would do."
According to Xue Fei, Shi Jun's growth was more or less influenced by his father, Shi Songtao.
It wasn't that his personality was becoming more and more like Shi Songtao's, but Shi Jun seemed to be intentionally differentiating himself from his father.
This was reflected in Shi Jun's inability to tolerate crimes that committed crimes, to the extent that he abhorred evil as if it were his mortal enemy.
It was as if he was trying to prove that he was different from Shi Songtao.
As Yan Zhaoge saw it, these effects were still within an acceptable range. Still, he still had to be careful.
Shi Jun's personality was sensitive and precocious. His life experiences had given him an urgent desire to prove himself.
Fortunately, with Xu Fei's guidance over the past few years, Shi Jun's character had been very tough aside from his somewhat impatient personality. Just during Yan Zhaoge's stay at Changli Mountain, the Changli Mountain martial practitioners had all praised him greatly.
There weren't many who knew of Yan Zhaoge's relationship with Shi Jun, so this kind of evaluation was basically believable.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Bai Jingkang, "As far as I know, the relationship between the Blood Dragon Sect and Changli Mountain is not that harmonious."
When Yan Zhaoge had met Bai Jingkang and his wife that year, he had seen them in conflict with the martial practitioners of the Blood Dragon Sect, with the other side even attempting to kill them.
Bai Jingkang nodded with a sunken expression, "That's right. Of the Seven Pillars of Good, our clan's relationship with the Blood Dragon Sect might be the worst."
If not for the conflict between Good and Evil, the two sects of the Vast Ocean World with which Changli Mountain had the worst relationship would be the Blood Dragon Sect and the Evil Shifting Sect.
They could virtually be considered mortal enemies.
All these years, if not for the Six Evil Sects being their common enemy, the relationship between the Blood Dragon Sect and Changli Mountain would have worsened even further.
Yan Zhaoge spread his hands apart, "Therefore, the words of the Blood Dragon Sect cannot be trusted. They might just be making use of this as a pretext to find fault with us."
His eyes narrowed into slits, a cold light emanating from within, "I am more concerned about where my junior apprentice-nephew is now."
Xu Fei said slowly, "Not being able to distinguish right from wrong, we have to first find Jun 'er and hear what he has to say."
Bai Jingkang smiled bitterly, "The problem now is that we cannot find Nephew Shi Jun's whereabouts."
He glanced at Yan Zhaoge and Xu Fei, not saying anything.
Changli Mountain actually also suspected the possibility that Yan Zhaoge had mentioned. In the worst-case scenario, Shi Jun might have already been killed, with the Blood Dragon Sect now being the thief calling the thief.
"Perhaps they don't know about my relationship with senior apprentice-brother Xu and Jun 'er, but the Blood Dragon Sect definitely knows that I am at Changli Mountain." Yan Zhaoge's expression had already calmed as he pondered, "For the Blood Dragon Sect to dare come so brazenly and openly denounce us, they definitely have something to rely on."
"After all, your Changli Mountain is on extremely good terms with Water Crystal Palace."
"Either they really have concrete evidence, or …" Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "You should pay more attention to the movements of Myriad Sword Pool."
Bai Jingkang nodded slowly.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge and Changli Mountain together, it was equivalent to Water Crystal Palace gaining a powerful ally.
The relationship between the Blood Dragon Sect and Myriad Sword Pool was destined to grow even closer, especially with the alliance between Myriad Sword Pool and Spirit Rhino Island having been weakened.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Bai Jingkang, "Where was the last news of Jun 'er?"
As long as he was still alive, even if his whereabouts were unknown, it would still be impossible for there to be no traces of him at all.
As for the possibility that something had already happened to Shi Jun, it was not that Yan Zhaoge had not considered it before. Still, as long as there was still hope, he would not give up.
Bai Jingkang said, "In the Star Shifting Sea. The news originates from the Blood Dragon Sect."
As he said thus, he took out a jade talisman, infusing his true essence within. Radiance shot out from the jade talisman, condensing into an illusory scene of light.
Within the illusory scene, two groups of people were seated facing each other within a great hall, the atmosphere extremely tense.
A longtime Elder of Changli Mountain said in a heavy tone, "While Shi Jun is not a disciple of my Changli Mountain, having grown up in my Changli Mountain since young, this old man is very clear on his character. It is definitely impossible for him to be a rapist."
The group of people opposite them were naturally those of the Blood Dragon Sect. Their leader, an old man, was seething with rage, "You still want to protect such a beast?"
This old man flashed a jade talisman as well. An illusory scene of light similarly appeared on the jade talisman, seemingly having been left behind by what had happened back then.
A youth wielding a sword in his right hand viciously stabbed someone to death.
Meanwhile, he was carrying another person under his left armpit. It was a woman.
After stabbing an opponent to death, even more people surrounded him. This youth brought that woman along as he leapt into an oceanic whirlpool, instantly vanishing from sight.
As Yan Zhaoge and Xu Fei were separated by two layers of light, the scene was inevitably somewhat distorted.
"Senior apprentice-brother Xu?" Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at Xu Fei. Xu Fei nodded, "It's Jun 'er."
