Heading north, Yan Zhaoge vaguely saw a small island appear on the horizon of the sea. Smoke arose from the island, shooting straight into the horizon.
Gazing carefully, one could even see the blazing light of fire enveloping the island, dyeing the nearby sky crimson.
As Yan Zhaoge neared, concealed amidst the clouds, he could see numerous figures on the island, many of them clad in armour.
The style of their armour was a standard issue for the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
The leader of the team was a Great Grandmaster Realm martial artist. His subordinates were mainly Body Refining martial artists. There were also a few Grandmaster Realm martial artists.
Before them was a courtyard that had already been transformed into a sea of flames.
Before the great gate, a board had fallen to the ground in flames, the words' Lishan Sect 'vaguely visible on it.
Outside the courtyard, there was a group of people, young and old, who were being held captive by a group of Grand Xuan Dynasty soldiers.
Everyone looked despondently at the courtyard that had been devoured by the sea of flames.
Some had looks of terror on their faces, some were glaring hatefully at the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners, some were filled with worry. There were even some children who were bawling loudly amongst them.
They were all of the Lishan Sect.
Or perhaps it should be said that they had once been of the Lishan Sect. From today onwards, the words' Lishan Sect 'would likely become history.
The leading Martial Grandmaster of the Grand Xuan Dynasty said coldly, "This is the fate of the traitors. Now that we are in need of manpower, we will be merciful. Obediently head to the various pill chambers. Those who resist will be killed without question."
There were also many corpses in the courtyard that had been transformed into a sea of flames. They were all Lishan Sect martial practitioners who had been slain on the spot.
Someone of the Lishan Sect said furiously, "Our sect did not participate in the rebellion against the Xuan, just having to listen to the orders of the North Sea Sword Pavilion in this northern part of the Royal Reed Sea. We have not truly attacked the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners either. Why must you be so overbearing?"
As that Martial Grandmaster of the Grand Xuan Dynasty gazed over, a heavy pressure instantly caused all those of the Lishan Sect to feel suffocated as it was like a heavy burden was weighing down on their shoulders.
He said mildly, "I originally had no need to explain things to you. You just had to obey. Still, I am feeling pretty good today, so I will make an exception and say something more."
"Listening to the orders of the North Sea rebels is already an unforgivable crime. I naturally know that your puny Lishan Sect does not have the guts to attack the soldiers of my Grand Xuan Dynasty. Otherwise, I would have directly exterminated your entire sect today. Who would have the patience to waste their breath here with you?"
The group of Lishan Sect martial artists was filled with grief and indignation.
That Great Grandmaster martial artist waved his hand indifferently. "Take them away. Same rules as before. They are not allowed to stay in this continent. After splitting them up, send them to the alchemy rooms of the other continents in groups of five. If one of them sneaks away, the rest of the group will be punished together."
The Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners under his command all responded in unison, escorting those Lishan Sect martial practitioners and preparing to leave the small island.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge knit his brows slightly, "With Shen Lingzi's lineage participating in this battle, the Grand Xuan Dynasty is truly filled with confidence. Previously, they were still using both coercion and coercion. Now, however, they are no longer being gentle as they are blindly brutal."
Right at this moment, a few majestic Sword Qis attacked from afar. They were like long rainbows that shocked the heavens, and they instantly arrived near the small island.
The warriors of the Grand Xuan Dynasty on the island were all shocked, "People of the North Sea Sword Pavilion?"
The newcomers stood still as they approached. They were all dressed in white and had a broadsword slung behind their backs.
Looking at them, Yan Zhaoge felt the vigorous sword-qi emanating from their bodies. While it was not sharp, it was vigorous and majestic, resembling the tides of the sea.
As the people of the North Sea Sword Pavilion arrived on the small island, seeing the soldiers of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, they wasted no time on words as they directly made a move.
The broadswords behind their backs were unsheathed, their sword-qi instantly soaring madly once more as they shot towards the enemies on the island with a momentum that surged to the heavens.
That Martial Grandmaster had yet to speak when the sword-aura of the other party had already arrived before him.
Greatly enraged, he simultaneously unsheathed the twin sabres by his waist, even as he blocked the sword-aura of the other party as he counterattacked.
Led by this Martial Grandmaster, the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners immediately fell into the commonly used battle formation of trapping troops.
However, those swordsmen of the North Sea Sword Pavilion immediately formed their own sword formation as well, resisting the battle formation of the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
The leader of the North Sea Sword Pavilion was similarly a Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster, being even stronger as he suppressed that Martial Grandmaster of the Grand Xuan Dynasty to the point that he was unable to raise his head.
While the Grand Xuan Dynasty's side was ferocious, they were unable to withstand the greater number of experts of the other party as they were quickly defeated.
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "It looks like they are disciples of the North Sea Sword Pavilion who were adventuring outside. Hearing that their sect has been attacked by the Grand Xuan Dynasty, they have hurried back from outside."
The headquarters of the North Sea Sword Pavilion had already been surrounded by the Grand Xuan Dynasty. Having encountered disciples of the North Sea Sword Pavilion in the outskirts, they were clearly returning after hearing the news.
It would be very hard for them to break out of the Grand Xuan Dynasty's encirclement. Thus, they did not blindly rush back to their sect like an egg striking a rock as they instead roamed the outskirts, looking for a chance to see if they could do anything for their sect.
Still, they probably did not understand the situation within the encirclement.
"It looks like I still have to capture someone of the Grand Xuan Dynasty and interrogate him," Yan Zhaoge shrugged, the corners of his mouth arching slightly upwards, "This one here is still a little insufficient."
Those of the Lishan Sect were currently in high spirits.
The next moment, however, powerful auras arose in the surrounding area.
The expressions of the North Sea Sword Pavilion martial practitioners changed slightly, "An ambush, a trap!"
The Lishan Sect martial practitioners watched blankly as a streak of light streaked across the horizon, arriving in the air above the small island as a terrifying aura suppressed the entire area, causing one to tremble.
That was shockingly a mid Essence Spirit Grand Xuan Dynasty expert of the fifth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm.
He smiled coldly as he looked at those of the North Sea Sword Pavilion, "North Sea rebels, your destruction is imminent, and you still dare to be arrogant?"
"It is precisely waiting for you to walk right into our trap that we can catch you like turtles in a jar. Otherwise, with you scoundrels hiding all over the place, it would really be too much of a waste of effort to find you."
As he said thus, he descended with a palm, numerous hurricanes surging.
Who knew that while the North Sea Sword Pavilion martial practitioner appeared shocked, he was not fearful at all as he instead smiled coldly.
That Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster's gaze hardened as he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
A sword-light suddenly lit up amidst space, a single sword slashing through the numerous hurricanes as the attack of this Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster dissipated into nothingness.
The bodies of the other Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners, that Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster who had led their group earlier included, all shook.
Soon after, sword-lights simultaneously lit up on their foreheads.
Other than this Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster, all the other Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners present, regardless of their cultivation bases, instantly perished.
The entire body of this Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster turned cold. Seeing the methods of the other party, he knew that it was not because he was strong that he had been able to survive. Instead, it was merely because the other party had not wanted to kill him.
A figure now appeared out of thin air, similarly garbed in white and carrying a broadsword on her back. It was a woman.
"Wanting to fish, yet catching one that is much stronger than all of you." Yan Zhaoge had originally been watching them make a fool of themselves. Still, after clearly seeing the features of this female expert of the North Sea Sword Pavilion who had appeared afterwards, he could not help but be rendered speechless.
"… What a coincidence."
Yan Zhaoge blinked.
This woman before him appeared to be in her early twenties from the outside. While her actual age was much older than what she appeared to be, in comparison to her cultivation base, she could still be said to be excessively young.
This was still not what Yan Zhaoge was most concerned about.
What he was truly concerned about was that this was clearly yet another 'Sikong Qing'. (To be continued.)
