While they were doubtful, Yan Zhaoge's trio settled down peacefully at the branch altar of the Dim Darkness Sect in the Flourishing Peace Region.
Their movements were not restricted as well as they normally could.
If they had any requests, the Dim Darkness Sect would mostly do their best to accommodate them.
If they wanted to meet higher echelon experts like Nie Sheng, they would similarly not be refused.
Still, the people of the Dim Darkness Sect did not mention anything further, especially not the matter of guiding Yan Zhaoge's group to their main altar.
"Do we have to spend time verifying the news regarding the deaths of Deng Sen and the other Radiant Light Sect experts?" Ah Hu scratched his head, "Or is there really something else?"
Numerous cities were situated around the Dim Darkness Sect's branch altar, all of them rather bustling and bustling. Yan Zhaoge's trio strolled through one of the cities, appraising everything there.
Hearing Ah Hu's question, Yan Zhaoge answered nonchalantly, "Let's wait and see for now."
Surveying the surroundings, he saw many martial practitioners moving about within the city. Not just disciples of the Dim Darkness Sect, there were also disciples of other sects and powers of the Flourishing Peace Region.
While their cultivation bases varied, those with lower cultivation bases made up the majority. Many Body Refinement martial practitioners could be seen.
Of the merchants operating within the city, there were martial practitioners as well as ordinary people who did not cultivate in martial arts.
Walking amongst them, Yan Zhaoge appeared rather interested.
The people here were liberal, especially martial practitioners who had few reservations. In just a short while, Yan Zhaoge had already discovered quite a few young girls staring at him with burning gazes.
It was just that after seeing Feng Yunsheng beside Yan Zhaoge, they all retracted their gazes enviously yet helplessly.
"I'm still very popular," Looking at Feng Yunsheng, Yan Zhaoge chuckled, looking indescribably smug.
Feng Yunsheng nodded in all seriousness, "They should hide you away and not let anyone see you."
Exchanging glances, the two shook their heads and smiled.
While it was not a well-known market with relatively low standards as well, Yan Zhaoge exchanged glances.
Still, as he strolled within, he saw many things that seemed ordinary yet did not exist in places like the Eight Extremities World and the Vast Ocean World.
These things had not been rare before the Great Calamity. It was just that the Great Calamity had caused many things to disappear.
Still, just looking at the trade in this small city, it could be seen that many things had been preserved in the World beyond Worlds.
Perhaps there were also extinct items that didn't exist here but existed in the lower realms.
Comparatively speaking, however, the traces of the great thousand worlds of pre-Great Calamity times had been preserved in the World beyond Worlds the most complete.
While Yan Zhaoge's group was guessing what the Dim Darkness Sect was planning, after having settled them down, the Dim Darkness Sect's Elder Nie Sheng directly headed to the innermost depths of this branch altar.
In a quiet room, an old man dressed in black was staring at the spell formation in front of him.
This array formation seemed to be shrouded in a black fog, and not a single drop of spirit light could be seen.
Nie Sheng entered the quiet room and bowed to the black-robed old man. "Elder Wu."
The First Seat Elder of the Dim Darkness Sect's Non-Brightness Hall, Wu Zixiu, was still focused on the formation before him, not turning, "No need for formalities."
Nie Sheng came to Wu Zixiu's side and said, "He looks young, but his mouth is tight. I won't be able to get anything useful out of him."
Wu Zixiu nodded slowly and remained silent.
Nie Sheng glanced at the formation in front of him. "Elder Wu, should we send them away first? The day of the sacrificial ceremony is not far away. It would not be appropriate at the end of the day to leave these outsiders who do not know their depths here. Of course, they definitely cannot be sent to the main altar. "
Wu Zixiu said, "If there are no discoveries, we can only send them away first. Still …"
Nie Sheng asked, "Elder Wu, are you suspecting something? Are you suspecting that they are related to the Radiant Light Sect, and are you intentionally trying to deceive us? "
"We will know very soon whether Deng Sen and the others are dead or not." Wu Zixiu said, "As for this youth, he is not a descendant of the Radiant Light Sect at the very least. His martial arts do not originate from the Radiant Light Sect. Wang Wenmin should still be able to discern this."
"A Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster slaying a Martial Saint. This youth is indeed shockingly talented. Also, the martial arts that he cultivates in are definitely extraordinary as well. He should have a great background. Even if he is related to the Radiant Light Sect, it should most likely be a cooperative relationship rather than a submission."
"This old man is inclined to think that he and the people behind him are not of the same faction as the Radiant Light Sect."
Wu Zixiu muttered to himself, "This person claims to be from outside the Royal Reed Sea. That should be believable. The problem is, where does he come from?"
"This youth might have a great background. Wang Wenmin said that the language he uses is purely the ancient language commonly used in pre-Great Calamity times?"
Nie Sheng nodded, "Yes, that's right."
"The ancient language commonly used in pre-Great Calamity times is still used by people in the current World beyond Worlds," He pondered over Wu Zixiu's words, "You already have a guess, Elder Wu?"
Wu Zixiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "This old man is wondering if it might be related to the Southeastern Exalt?"
Nie Sheng was shocked, "The Southeastern Exalt shouldn't interfere in the matters of the Royal Reed Sea, right? To him, this is just a minor matter. Why would he lower himself to such an extent? "
"That's right. Logically speaking, he shouldn't." While he said this, Wu Zixiu's expression was solemn as he showed no intention of relaxing in the slightest, "Still, the ancestors of our sect and the Radiant Light Sect are different from other powers at the end of the day …"
Hearing this, Nie Sheng's expression turned solemn as well, "The Radiant Light Sect is already a thing of the past, having been plundered time and time again by so many people. After so many years, there has long since been nothing that those major figures would be interested in. If there is, we should be the clearest about it."
Wu Zixiu shook his head slightly, "They might not think this way."
After pondering for a moment, Nie Sheng's expression suddenly changed slightly, "Could something special have happened over at the Radiant Light Sect? Weren't we still wondering why Deng Sen and the others had suddenly disappeared? "
Wu Zixiu nodded slowly, "This is not impossible."
"If that is so, it would be hard to predict." Nie Sheng smiled bitterly, "While our sect and the Radiant Light Sect are sworn enemies, we currently have a common enemy in the Grand Xuan Dynasty. Currently, the war is at its most stalemate. While I have always hoped for the Radiant Light Sect to be destroyed, we are now in the same boat."
Wu Zixiu sighed, "Unable to ascertain the other party's identity, we cannot just casually settle them down, much less send them to the main altar …"
Nie Sheng nodded in deep agreement, "Ascertaining whether Deng Sen and the others are dead or alive will still require some time. We can use this chance to investigate for the main altar, it is just that …"
He smiled bitterly, "It is just that it is not peaceful over here as well. The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin very soon. We have to cooperate with the main altar."
Wu Zixiu thought for a moment before saying, "How about we first get our disciples to investigate them?"
Nie Sheng frowned, "How? For a young man with such shocking potential, we either have to befriend him and form a good relationship with him, or we have to use our full strength to kill him. It's a test that's neither too light nor too heavy. If we become enemies with him, we won't be able to kill him, leaving behind a huge problem for no reason.
Wu Zixiu shook his head, "What are you talking about? First, this youngster's true thoughts aside, on the surface at least, he has no ill will towards our sect. Instead, he has formed enmity with the Grand Xuan Dynasty and the Radiant Light Sect."
"There are many ways to get to the bottom of things." (To be continued.)
