The surrounding region of sea was enveloped by blurry starlight. Whether it was Yan Zhaoge's or the Northern Ocean Clone's sensory abilities, they were both greatly affected.
The range of their senses was basically limited to where they could see.
Still, looking down at the jade sword in his hand, Yan Zhaoge could vaguely feel that some changes seemed to have occurred within.
This proved that his most crucial first step was not wrong. Shi Jun should have left from this spring.
This way, the range of Shi Jun's whereabouts would be greatly reduced as it would no longer be so difficult to find him.
Following the guidance of the sword, Yan Zhaoge began searching the vicinity.
As he searched, Yan Zhaoge discovered that there were Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners in this area as well. Still, they were no different from those of other places as they were still randomly roaming about like headless flies.
While they had enough people, virtually conducting a carpet search, wanting to find one or two people in an environment like the Star Shifting Sea, especially one or two who might be in hiding, no amount of people would be enough. It was really like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Still, while he still seemed completely clueless, Yan Zhaoge felt that it was not purely luck that he had been able to find this place.
As he silently passed by these Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners, their discussions also vaguely fell into his ears.
"Wanting to find someone in an environment like the Bewildering Maze Sea and the Star Shifting Sea is really too difficult."
"However hard it is, we still have to find him. That kid injured Elder Chang's grandson and abducted Chief's daughter. We have to dig him out even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!"
"That's right. Let alone a mere disciple of a guest Elder of Changli Mountain, even if he was their head direct disciple, we still have to dig him out."
"Speaking of which, Elder Chang has already left seclusion, hurrying over to the Star Shifting Sea along with Chief. Gradually narrowing down the range of search with a secret technique, we should be able to dig out the location of that traitor and junior apprentice-sister Shen very soon."
Hearing these discussions, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly.
Ever since arriving in the Vast Ocean World, he had always been paying attention to all sorts of information, understanding the people and matters of this world.
After arriving at Changli Mountain, he had done an extremely systematic understanding.
While the people of the Blood Dragon Sect did not speak in detail, Yan Zhaoge was still able to guess their identities.
Nian Chen, the Grand Elder of the Blood Dragon Sect and the previous Chief, the number one expert of the Blood Dragon Sect, wielding their Sacred Artifact, the Nine Dragon Fingers.
Of the Vast Ocean World's top ten Transcending Mortality experts, Nian Chen was ranked third.
Of course, this ranking did not include Holy Weapons.
Ten years ago, in order to cultivate in seclusion and seek a breakthrough, Nian Chen stopped dealing with the specific affairs of the sect and passed the position of sect leader to his disciple, Shen Shicheng.
Still, Nian Chen's position in the Blood Dragon Sect could still be described as one of absolute authority.
Those who were not on good terms with the Blood Dragon Sect usually did not hold back in their words when facing martial practitioners of the Blood Dragon Sect, mocking Shen Shicheng for being their Chief, having a Grand Chief above him.
Shen Shicheng himself did not mind, and Nian Chen also trusted him quite a bit. In the past few years, the sect's affairs, big or small, were usually handed over to Shen Shicheng to handle, while he himself concentrated on cultivating.
However, from the looks of it, Nian Chen, who was originally in closed-door training, had specially come out to the Star Shifting Sea this time.
"Is the Blood Dragon Sect disciple that Jun 'er injured Nian Chen's grandson?" Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin. Nian Chen's son had died early, leaving behind only a single grandson, Nian Wei. This was something that everyone in the Vast Ocean World knew about.
As he pondered, Yan Zhaoge heard those Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners continue, "Senior apprentice-brother Nian has yet to recover from his injuries, already having to rush about in search of senior apprentice-sister Shen. It really must be hard on him."
"Senior apprentice-brother Nian and junior apprentice-sister Shen are truly a match made in heaven. In coming to the Star Shifting Sea this time, it was senior apprentice-brother Nian who specially came to escort her. Who would have thought that something like this would actually happen? Senior apprentice-brother Nian would naturally be unable to sit still."
"Senior apprentice-sister Shen has been abducted by that traitor for so long, her whereabouts unknown. I'm afraid that …"
"Silence! Don't you know that a loose tongue can cause trouble? "
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips as he heard this, "Good fella, the two people with the deepest backgrounds of the Blood Dragon Sect's younger generation have been simultaneously flirted with by you. No wonder the Blood Dragon Sect has completely exploded."
"You have standards; I think highly of you."
Yan Zhaoge soundlessly passed over the heads of those Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners, his mind drifting as he walked.
What Shen Ying resisting an arranged marriage, falling in love with Shi Jun at first sight and eloping with him …
What Nian Wei harbored ill intentions, Shi Jun acting bravely for a just cause, saving Shen Ying and escaping, Nian Wei accusing Shi Jun of abducting her …
He was of course on Shi Jun's side, his various thoughts naturally being those that were beneficial to Shi Jun.
"There's no point in thinking so much. Let's first find the person before anything else." Yan Zhaoge retracted his thoughts that had flown off to who knew where, focusing once more on the jade sword in his hand.
The people of the Blood Dragon Sect also had a secret technique as they gradually locked onto their location in the vicinity. Yan Zhaoge could not afford to be careless as he had to find the two as soon as possible.
Following the guidance of the sword, Yan Zhaoge attempted to find the correct direction and location. Who knew that after searching for a long time, he would still be unable to find anything.
Frowning, Yan Zhaoge came to the place where the reaction of the sword was the most intense, sinking to the bottom of the sea and scanning the reefs at the bottom of the sea. However, he still did not discover anything.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge's figure began rising slowly. However, he did not immediately leave the surface of the sea as he instead searched diligently amidst the undercurrents between the bottom of the sea and the surface of the sea.
"I still haven't found you this time?"
After a while, Yan Zhaoge smiled, his figure moving along with the flow of the seawater as a whirlpool shockingly appeared before him. It was actually a whirlpool that lay horizontally within the seawater. The surface of the whirlpool strangely stood upright, forming an inconspicuous empty space at the centre of the seawater.
Here, the reaction of the jade sword was exceptionally intense.
Yan Zhaoge broke through the flow of water, stepping into that empty space where there was no water. Then, not halting, he directly stepped into the whirlpool.
Passing through the centre of the whirlpool, Yan Zhaoge shockingly passed through a formless passageway as he stepped into a foreign dimension.
Just having entered the foreign dimension, Yan Zhaoge knit his brows slightly as he saw a dense fog that appeared faint purple in the surrounding area.
This fog resembled grease, being abnormally sticky as it made it hard for one to advance or retreat within it.
Yan Zhaoge tested it out. Advancing forward was easier than retreating, and retreating was not difficult for him. However, if it was a Martial Grandmaster, it would probably be hard for them to exit the foreign dimension as they would only be able to struggle forward step by step.
"It looks like Jun 'er and the others are indeed trapped here," Yan Zhaoge thought as he broke through the encirclement of the purple fog, officially stepping into the foreign dimension.
A massive deep valley appeared before him. Entering it, Yan Zhaoge only took a single glance before he grew wary, "It is not just the marks left behind by one or two people. Other than Jun 'er and the others, there are others as well."
Yan Zhaoge headed downwards, arriving at the bottom of the valley. However, he only saw a complete mess as it seemed to have been swept through by some powerful force.
A dense stench of blood emanated over. Carefully appraising it, Yan Zhaoge shockingly saw a few corpses lying on the ground, all of them wearing the clothes of Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners.
Beside one of the corpses was shockingly a damaged spirit artifact. The others were all beyond recognition, having been reduced to broken fingers and remains. Only this person's corpse, protected by the spirit artifact, had not been destroyed.
Walking close, Yan Zhaoge lowered his head to take a look. It was a youth with seven sword scars on his chest. (To be continued.)
