Hearing Lu Feng's words, Yan Zhaoge nodded mildly, "This Yan has no objections to Chief Lu's interest."
Lu Feng said solemnly, "Please."
The group continued their journey, but the mood of the Spirit Returning Sect disciples was completely different.
The younger disciples were both excited and anxious. Their gazes towards Yan Zhaoge were filled with fervor. Meanwhile, the seniors of higher seniority all fell into deep thought as they hurriedly sent sound transmissions to their Sect Heads to discuss their opinions.
The Broad Creed Mountain disciples, adhering to the principle of listening more and watching more, moving less and speaking less, all followed quietly by Yan Zhaoge's side.
However, many thoughts also appeared in their minds at this moment.
The first to speak was unexpectedly the usually quiet Sikong Qing.
Seeing that she had the intention to speak, the North Ocean Clone beside Yan Zhaoge expanded his qi flow, forming a formless barrier between them and the people of the Spirit Returning Sect, preventing their voices from spreading.
Sikong Qing had originally intended to send a sound transmission through her aura-qi, but seeing this, she directly asked, "Senior apprentice-brother Yan, the martial art you displayed just now?"
Yan Zhaoge's expression did not change, "The supreme martial art of the Xuanwu lineage is known as the Xuanwu Fist Scripture."
"In the past, when I excavated all sorts of Remnants, I obtained some incomplete cultivation techniques. However, when I killed the Radiant Light Sect's Martial Sages, I obtained a rather complete inheritance from one of them."
"It's one of the direct martial arts of the True Martial Lineage. It has its merits."
Sikong Qing nodded, "It is indeed extremely profound. The martial arts of the Vast Ocean World's Spirit Returning Sect and Green Snake Island were already rather extraordinary just now. However, senior apprentice-brother Yan's Zhenwu Fist Scripture is undoubtedly much superior."
Fu Enshu glanced at Lu Feng and the others before looking at Yan Zhaoge, asking, "You intend to use this martial art to keep them hanging?"
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "Since our clan currently does not intend to advance into the Vast Ocean World, I also have no intention of causing a huge ruckus here. Moreover, having brought some fellow disciples over this time, I originally felt that the Eight Extremities World was too peaceful, hoping to temper myself more here in the Vast Ocean World."
"Still, I will be heading to the World beyond Worlds very soon. Our lineage does not have any Martial Saints or Sacred Artifacts guarding over this place. Changli Mountain is an outsider at the end of the day. It is better to rely on ourselves than to rely on others. Some arrangements still have to be made just in case."
Fu Enshu slowly nodded. "Your thinking is very correct."
Of those of Broad Creed Mountain, some had looks of understanding on their faces while others still looked rather dazed.
Fu Enshu looked at them, "Zhaoge taught the Spirit Returning Sect a lesson, but didn't he also teach you a lesson?"
Everyone pondered in unison as Fu Enshu continued, "Before coming here, I have already told you about the situation of the Vast Ocean World that year. Still, after the successive changes, the situation here is already very different."
"That year, of the Seven Pillars of Good, Changli Mountain and the Spirit Returning Sect were both close to Water Crystal Palace. The three sects joined forces against the Blood Dragon Sect, Myriad Sword Pool, Spirit Rhino Island and the Blazing Wind Sect."
"Currently, the Blood Dragon Sect has already been destroyed, Spirit Rhino Island unable to recover from this setback. Meanwhile, Changli Mountain's strength has increased greatly, their Chief Gao Tianzhong having Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, becoming a Martial Saint expert not inferior to the Palace Lord of Water Crystal Palace, Lin Shi. He also does not fear the Sacred Artifact of Myriad Sword Pool, the Floating Sinking Sword."
Fu Enshu said slowly, "The relationship between the great sects is already different from how it was in the past."
Those of Broad Creed Mountain all understood, "The relationship between Changli Mountain and Water Crystal Palace will definitely turn from being allies to being enemies. With us being close to Changli Mountain, senior apprentice-brother Yan's actions are equivalent to pulling the Spirit Returning Sect which was still close to Water Crystal Palace over to Changli Mountain's side."
Fu Enshu nodded, "That's right, it is precisely so. Leaving Green Snake Island behind would also leave the Spirit Returning Sect with a sense of danger, at the same time leaving them with the thought of personally exterminating their mortal enemy."
"The two sides might have initially been competing over dao traditions, but after so many years, having slain and killed countless enemies, their enmity has long since become as deep as the seas."
Ah Hu blinked, "But what if Water Crystal Palace and Myriad Sword Pool join forces?"
Fu Enshu said, "In the dragon tomb, Myriad Sword Pool has gained little. While Water Crystal Palace's gains are not as great as Changli Mountain's, they are still considerable. The increase in their strength can be foreseen."
"While there has been no news of Water Crystal Palace in the Vast Ocean World these past eight years, this precisely means that they are currently accumulating their strength, awaiting a metamorphosis."
"Perhaps Palace Lord Lin Shi has advanced a step further, or perhaps they have refined a Sacred Artifact of their own."
Hearing her words, everyone nodded in unison, "This way, Water Crystal Palace's strength will skyrocket, stably sitting on the throne of the number one sect of the Vast Ocean World. It would indeed be impossible for Myriad Sword Pool to join forces with them. Instead, the possibility of them joining forces with Changli Mountain is greater."
"Taking in the Spirit Returning Sect and weakening Water Crystal Palace is also a must."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, the people of Broad Creed Mountain all sighed emotionally, "While this is so, it is easier said than done. Other than senior apprentice-brother Yan, how many others could so easily change the situation of the world? Senior apprentice-brother Yan said that he would not go all out, but with just a casual move of his, he has already caused the winds and clouds to change. "
Fu Enshu looked at Sikong Qing, "Before absolute power, all trickery and trickery are useless. These words are true, but how many people are born with absolute power? In the process of unceasingly climbing towards the peak, there are some things that one has to pay attention to. "
"You can choose not to use it yourself, but you have to understand it at the very least, preventing enemies from targeting you. There is a saying called 'killing with a borrowed knife'. You have to be wary of the edge that you have painstakingly sharpened becoming a knife in the hands of others."
Sikong Qing was silent for a moment before she nodded, not speaking.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, saying, "Senior apprentice-aunt Fu speaks too seriously. I am not as good as you praise me to be. In baiting the turtle this time, it is those who are willing to take the bait. While the Spirit Returning Sect is being used by us, they will also gain something. Whether they will suffer a loss or gain an advantage is still uncertain."
"It's just that when we give them their gains will be in our hands."
Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge passed a jade coin to Fu Enshu, "Keep this jade coin, senior apprentice-aunt Fu. The contents of the first volume of the Xuanwu Fist Scripture are recorded within; it is already sufficient. As for how to keep this turtle on our hook, you can decide."
Receiving the jade coin, Fu Enshu nodded, saying, "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
They arrived at Changli Mountain. Some of the Changli Mountain martial practitioners who had received the news earlier were already waiting at the edge of the Directionless Sea.
However, upon learning that the Chief of the Spirit Returning Sect, Lu Feng, was actually going to Changli Mountain to pay a visit as well, the Changli Mountain martial practitioners were all taken aback.
As the news spread, it attracted the attention of all the other major powers, especially Water Crystal Palace.
Amidst their shock, the various major powers all mobilized their manpower to investigate. In the end, the news that they obtained left them all speechless for a time.
Yan Zhaoge grasped the direct lineage of Xuanwu.
The martial legacies of the Spirit Returning Sect had hopes of improving further.
As the news spread, the Vast Ocean World was shaken.
While the Spirit Returning Sect was inferior to powers like Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect, they had always been one of the few powerful sects of the Vast Ocean World. They could be defeated, but when had they ever been subdued in terms of martial legacies?
Today, however, someone had managed to do so.
A living legend of the Vast Ocean World. (To be continued.)
