Yan Zhaoge's words caused everyone present to feel rather puzzled, not understanding what he meant.
They all thought that he was referring to the matter before them.
A Radiant Light Sect Elder appeared displeased, "Nonsense."
That Dim Darkness Sect Elder mocked, "If you don't want others to know about it, don't do it. Since you are in such a rush to kill him, it shouldn't be to silence him?"
The Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect had long-standing enmity.
If not for their common enemy, the Grand Xuan Dynasty, the two sides would long since have engaged in an endless battle to the death.
While they were both currently in the anti-Xuan camp, they were still usually not on good terms.
Even if it was not to the extent of opposing for the sake of opposing, the Dim Darkness Sect would naturally be happy to see an important figure of the Radiant Light Sect like Nong Yuxuan lose his reputation.
While the fruits of the Dim Sun Cold Moon Ritual having fallen into Yan Zhaoge's hands left those of the Dim Darkness Sect feeling rather despondent, it was the Grand Xuan Dynasty's attack that had caused the ritual to fail at the end of the day. Yan Zhaoge had only just happened to be there.
If the remnant power of the ritual had not fallen into Yan Zhaoge's hands, it would most likely have fallen into the hands of the Radiant Light Sect's Nong Yuxuan.
As compared to the latter, the Dim Darkness Sect would definitely find it easier to accept the former outcome.
Now that there was a chance to make the Radiant Light Sect suffer a setback, the Dim Darkness Sect would definitely not hesitate to stand on the same side as Yan Zhaoge.
Someone in the Radiant Light Sect's camp laughed coldly, "Like leeches that have smelled blood, just the slightest sign of trouble from our sect, you will immediately rush over."
"If you want to take advantage of us, look at the situation first. Who doesn't know that our sect's Elder Nong is extremely proficient in the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation that even few in the Grand Xuan Dynasty can compare to?"
He glanced at Yan Zhaoge, "Is such a major matter something that a Martial Grandmaster can accomplish? That would be the greatest joke of the world. "
That Dim Darkness Sect Elder had a composed look on his face, "Since that is so, what are you in such a rush for?"
This Elder did not know whether Yan Zhaoge's words were true or not, but he recalled something.
When their sect's Dim Sun Cold Moon Ritual had been in progress, Yan Zhaoge had actually followed the power of the ritual all the way from the branch altar to the main altar and had actually been completely unscathed.
Whether it was intentional or not, at the very least, this meant that Yan Zhaoge was quite accomplished in the dao of formations.
This caused those of the Dim Darkness Sect to feel a little more confident.
Elder Qi of the North Sea Sword Pavilion now asked slowly, "Starlight Nong's method of dispelling it is no longer a secret. After the Elders of the various families have investigated it, they are all certain that there is no problem with the method. The Whole Tower Region's Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation was precisely dispelled by the Nine Stars Aligned Pearl Stirring Earthfire."
"Yet now, Young Master Yan has come out and claimed that he was the one who broke the formation. Is there anyone else who can prove this?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Yue Baoqi.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge knew that Yue Baoqi had once mentioned her doubts to this Elder Qi.
With Yue Baoqi's assurance, Elder Qi wasn't as shocked as before.
At the very least, he did not directly reprimand Yan Zhaoge who was merely a Martial Grandmaster for bragging.
Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly, "If it's witnesses, there really aren't any."
The people of the Radiant Light Sect laughed coldly, "It was you who made a false accusation in the first place. Other than an accomplice who colluded with you, there naturally wouldn't be any true witnesses."
Yue Baoqi frowned. There was a hidden meaning in the other party's words.
The Radiant Light Sect had learnt that Yan Zhaoge had first come to the Heavenly Inheritance Region to look for her and the North Sea Sword Pavilion. They would naturally be vigilant.
Still, she had indeed not witnessed Yan Zhaoge breaking the formation. Thus, it was not good for her to speak now.
That Dim Darkness Sect Elder chortled, "Speaking of this, it was you who spread the news that Nong Yuxuan broke the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation. Is there anyone else who can prove this?"
The Copper Men Island Elder who had been silent all along now said slowly, "The Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation is no small matter. The Grand Xuan Dynasty had already set it up properly at the time, accumulating power and waiting to act."
"Having a way to break the formation, one would naturally have to grasp the opportunity and do it as soon as possible. Who would still have the time and effort to find witnesses for themselves?"
This Copper Men Island Elder surveyed their surroundings, "Starlight Nong was able to explain the method of breaking the formation, the experts of the various sects having confirmed it as well. Accusing him of having stolen credit just based on the words of a single person would be a little unfair, wouldn't it? Moreover, it is someone with a personal grudge against him. "
His gaze slowly swept across Yan Zhaoge and that Dim Darkness Sect Elder, "This old man feels that we should still be cautious. Otherwise, the current situation of the rebellion against the Xuan would be destroyed for no good reason."
"Everyone, we currently do not hold the advantage. The initiative lies more with the side of the Xuan crooks. If we are not careful in the slightest, a calamity might befall us all."
The North Sea Sword Pavilion's Elder Qi was silent for a moment.
Meanwhile, that Dim Darkness Sect Elder knit his brows.
The other party's words were clearly biased towards the Radiant Light Sect.
With both sides clinging to their own words and neither being able to bring out any better evidence, this was actually something that could be expected.
It was hard to convince people to believe that the other party was trying to steal the credit without any concrete evidence.
Otherwise, anyone would be able to jump out and falsely accuse others of anything they wanted.
Even if they wanted to set up a Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation for the two sides to compete once more, they would not have sufficient materials to do so.
Under such circumstances, it would be very normal for them to be biased towards the Radiant Light Sect.
First not speaking of how Nong Yuxuan's reputation was greater, just the fact that their conflict with the Grand Xuan Dynasty had reached a critical juncture with internal strife occurring within the anti-Xuan army now being disadvantageous to their side no matter how one looked at it.
Elder Qi of the North Sea Sword Pavilion was still rather hesitant. However, to those of Copper Men Island, in order to maintain the stability of the overall situation, even if it really was Nong Yuxuan who had stolen credit, as long as there was no evidence that could pin him to death, Copper Men Island would still feign ignorance on the surface.
That Copper Men Island Elder swept his gaze across Elder Qi and the leading Dim Darkness Sect Elder.
While he did not speak, Elder Qi and the other Elder could still see four words within his gaze.
The overall situation was of utmost importance.
Seeing them exchanging gazes unceasingly, looking at those of the Radiant Light Sect who were raring to go, Yan Zhaoge could not help but smile even more.
"While there are no witnesses, there is material evidence ah."
Everyone was simultaneously taken aback.
An orb had appeared in Yan Zhaoge's hand.
He said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "Huang Jie is a character. Still, it can be seen that he is also a secretive person, keeping his lips tight as he does not easily reveal his thoughts."
"Therefore, whatever methods he has, he would most likely not tell his fellow disciples. Perhaps he would tell his father Huang Xu, his grandfather Huang Guanglie and the others, but it would be impossible for him to tell Meng Wan or Tang Yonghao."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Therefore, your Radiant Light Sect might not know that he had such a thing in his possession. After I killed him, it fell into my hands."
"If you had known about it, perhaps you wouldn't have done such a thing."
Yan Zhaoge raised that orb, which hovered in mid-air as he tapped lightly on it, "This thing is called the Heaven Spying Orb. The images recorded within cannot be faked, cannot be altered."
Light shot out from within the orb, an illusory scene of light appearing.
The contents recorded were shockingly the process of Yan Zhaoge's nine swords piercing through the earth veins, causing underground fire to erupt as he broke the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation in the northern region of sea of the Whole Tower Region!
Those of the North Sea Sword Pavilion, Copper Men Island and the Dim Darkness Sect were all dazed on seeing this before their gazes simultaneously converged on Nong Yuxuan!
Nong Yuxuan stared fixedly at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge met his gaze mildly.
For someone like me who likes to show off and show off, would it be possible for me to do a good deed without leaving my name? (To be continued.)
