"So many things have happened?" Yan Zhaoge listened intently to Lu Feng's narration of the current situation of the Vast Ocean World.
The people of the Spirit Returning Sect and Green Snake Island were all cursing in their hearts, "Yes, so many things have happened ….. at least half of it is because of you."
Thinking of the various legends regarding Yan Zhaoge, the memories that had gradually faded with the passage of time resurfaced within their minds once more.
When he had been at the Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster realm that year, fighting one against two, he had defeated the two strongest Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters of the Vast Ocean World, Zhang Haocheng of Water Crystal Palace and Li Sheng of the Dragon Slayer Sect, with a single move.
Afterwards, he directly broke through and became the youngest Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster in history.
He had killed the Chief of Spirit Rhino Island Fang Kan, slain the 'Nine-fingered Dragon King' Nian Chen of the Blood Dragon Sect, obtained the Sacred Artifact, the Nine Dragon Fingers, killed the Chief of the Evil Shifting Sect, the 'Heavenly Evil' Feng Jingsheng, killed the Evil Saint Lin Qiancheng, killed the Chief of the Brilliant Thunder Sect, the 'Crimson Thunder King' Geng Hui and heavily injured the Chief of the Dragon Slayer Sect, the 'Slaying Seven Seas' Zhao Zhong.
Close to half of the peak experts of the Vast Ocean World had been single-handedly slain by this youth before him, the situation of the Vast Ocean World that had been maintained for a hundred years having undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-overturning change because of him.
After having explored the dragon tomb that year, Yan Zhaoge had vanished from the Vast Ocean World without a trace.
Changli Mountain announced to the outside world that Yan Zhaoge was living in seclusion once more.
As time passed unceasingly, many people suspected that Changli Mountain was intentionally putting on airs, that the truth was likely that Yan Zhaoge had perished within the dragon tomb.
But today, that malefic star of the past had reappeared in the world, and it instantly caused everyone present to recall the past.
Even the Spirit Returning Sect martial practitioners who considered themselves to be on Yan Zhaoge's side felt uneasy, while those of Green Snake Island were even more inwardly shuddering.
Looking at Guan Jingqiong and the others who looked as though they were facing a great enemy, Yan Zhaoge's thoughts flashed slightly while his expression did not change.
He nodded at Lu Feng, "Thank you, Sect Master Lu, for telling me everything of the past. I will now head for Changli Mountain and not disturb you."
Yan Zhaoge's tone was mild, but the Spirit Returning Sect martial practitioners were all stunned.
They stood dazed on the spot. Seeing Yan Zhaoge about to turn and leave, Lu Feng's entire body shuddered, "… Mister Yan!"
Yan Zhaoge turned his head innocently, "Is there anything else, Chief Lu?"
Lu Feng was flabbergasted, and he was almost unable to catch his breath.
His hunchback was due to the fact that his Spirit Returning Sect martial arts training had reached a certain level, which resulted in the appearance of a tortoise's back.
However, it did not give off a feeling of decadence and old. Instead, it was like a spirit turtle that was fixed in the deep sea, steady and steady, and could not be shaken by external forces.
It was just that facing Yan Zhaoge now, Lu Feng really found it rather hard to straighten his back.
He smiled bitterly and looked at Guan Jingqiong and the others, who were equally confused. "Mr. Yan, what do you think …"
Yan Zhaoge nodded nonchalantly, "En, you can continue. You don't have to worry about me. Just now, it was me who suddenly appeared in the arena where the two sides were sparring; I have no intention of pursuing this matter."
His words rendered Lu Feng speechless.
After pondering carefully for a moment, he recalled that while Yan Zhaoge had stayed at Changli Mountain as a guest in the Vast Ocean World, with some fellow disciples still remaining at Changli Mountain even now, Yan Zhaoge himself was very hard to define as good or evil.
While Lin Qiancheng, Geng Hui, and Feng Jingsheng, big shots of the Devil Path had died at his hands, Nian Chen, Fang Kan, Guan Yu, and Shen Shicheng of the Righteous Path had not shown mercy either.
The Nine Dragon Fingers of the Blood Dragon Sect were still in Yan Zhaoge's possession even now.
This person's way of doing things seemed to be that whoever provoked him would be dealt with by him, not caring at all which camp the other party belonged to.
Since that was the case, with his disciple having offended him just now, Lu Feng should really rejoice in not pursuing this matter.
A bitter smile appeared on Lu Feng's face. He had really been thinking too much in thinking that Yan Zhaoge would help them deal with Green Snake Island.
Those of Green Snake Island now reacted as well, all feeling incomparably fortunate.
Guan Jingqiong's tensed face relaxed as she inhaled deeply, cupping her hands towards Yan Zhaoge, "It was this old woman's junior apprentice-niece who offended Mister Yan. This old woman deeply apologises."
That middle-aged man beside her who had attacked earlier was also sensible as he hurriedly bowed and apologised to Yan Zhaoge once more.
Those of Green Snake Island gazed at Yan Zhaoge and the Spirit Returning Sect martial practitioners as they slowly retreated, retreating into the Bewildering Maze Sea.
Those of the Spirit Returning Sect could only watch on helplessly. The situation just now had already been disadvantageous to them. If not for Yan Zhaoge's appearance, it would have been them who had suffered a loss. They would naturally not dare to pursue and attack now.
Having their plans disrupted, while those of Green Snake Island felt despondent, they felt even more rejoiced and relaxed.
As Feng Yunsheng, Fu Enshu, Sikong Qing, Ying Longtu and the others saw this, some appeared puzzled while others appeared thoughtful.
Those of the Spirit Returning Sect were filled with awkwardness as they looked at Yan Zhaoge, unable to speak.
Lu Feng regained his wits, not mentioning Green Snake Island at all as he instead summoned his disciple who had attacked earlier, apologising to Yan Zhaoge once more.
"Travelling from the Bewildering Maze Sea to Changli Mountain's Directionless Sea, you just happen to pass by my Spirit Returning Sect's Flying Turtle Sea. If Mister Yan doesn't mind, how about we travel together?" Lu Feng said smilingly.
Yan Zhaoge smiled mildly, "It's naturally fine."
Overjoyed, Lu Feng led Yan Zhaoge and the others along.
As they walked, Yan Zhaoge asked nonchalantly, "Observing your sect and Green Snake Island, while the martial arts of your two sects are active and passive, yin and yang, hard and soft, they are actually interconnected in many aspects, seemingly originating from the same source."
"If I am not wrong, they should both originate from True Martial's lineage. Is that so?"
Lu Feng nodded, "That's right. Our sect's founder and the founder of the Green Snake Demonic Race were once related. The two unearthed a legacy site of pre-Great Calamity times together. After a period of conflict, they each obtained half of it."
"Our sect obtained the Tortoise Elephant of True Martial, while Green Snake Island obtained the Serpent Elephant of True Martial."
This was no secret in the Vast Ocean World as Lu Feng sighed, "Our sect inherited the legacy of True Martial, upholding righteousness within defence, warding off evil and suppressing devils. We really cannot bear for the legacy of True Martial to fall into the hands of evil and crooked sects to be used for evil."
"All these years, the other portion of the legacy has already been distorted beyond recognition by Green Snake Island. Every time our ancestors think of it, they all feel deeply pained. This old man is no exception."
"We have always hoped to be able to cleanse the roots of the legacy, not letting down our ancestors of pre-Great Calamity times."
Over the years, the two sides had frequently clashed, having also captured the other side's young disciples. Still, their peak, most essential legacies had never been exchanged.
Having been a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster for many years, Lu Feng had often analysed this. While the legacies of his sect and Green Snake Island added together were only a small portion of True Martial's legacy, if he could combine the two, he would probably be able to immediately break through into the Martial Saint realm.
Hearing Lu Feng's words, Yan Zhaoge nodded. His expression did not change in the least, but he extended his hands, entering a fist stance.
Yan Zhaoge immediately retracted this fist stance.
However, in Lu Feng's eyes, it shocked him to the point of dizziness as he very nearly fell headfirst into the sea.
"Mister … Mister Yan?!" The old man was unable to speak properly as he stared fixedly at Yan Zhaoge's hands.
Yan Zhaoge, however, placed his hands behind his back once more, walking forward as though nothing had happened. (To be continued.)
