The Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel traversed the horizon, instantly traversing countless rivers and mountains.
Yan Zhaoge raised his head to look at the formation above the massive vessel.
As the formation operated, it gradually changed and seemed to be losing its direction.
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows lightly. This meant that the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation that the Grand Xuan Dynasty had set up was likely to cease circulating, no longer being maintained.
However, the effect of the formation on the earth veins was long-lasting.
Therefore, while the formation was no longer circulating, the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel was still able to follow the changes in the earth veins to search for the previous location of the Bearing Heaven Efficate Formation.
However, if he rushed over now, it was hard to say if he could block the other party on the spot.
If the people of the Grand Xuan Dynasty had not discovered that Zheng Ming and the others had entered the Royal Reed Sea, they might not have cared about it. If they had already known about it, they might have already cleaned up their traces now.
A majestic mountain range appeared on the horizon in the distance.
The Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel very quickly arrived in the air above the mountain range. A round mirror-like radiance once again lit up on the massive vessel, the mirror-like light shining down on the mountain range unceasingly.
Soon, the mirror flashed and stopped in a valley.
The inside of the valley was illuminated by the mirror light. Instantly, rays of earthy yellow, heavy and condensed light shone and lit up.
However, this light was very weak, and it immediately dimmed and disappeared, almost as if it had just flashed.
Zheng Mingtong and Chen Zhiliang's expressions changed slightly.
Feng Yunsheng and Ah Hu swivelled their heads to look at Yan Zhaoge, who pondered for a moment before saying, "It looks like the other party sensed something earlier. Not only did they stop the circulation of the formation, they even destroyed it, erasing all traces of it."
The expressions of the two were extremely stern as the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel descended, hovering in the air above the valley.
In the canyons between the mountains, one could see billowing smoke and dust, but apart from a few human figures, there was nothing else, let alone any trace of a formation.
Within the crowd within the valley, a middle-aged man stood calmly, raising his head to look at the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel up above.
Although he was looking up, his aura did not give off the feeling that he was inferior.
In fact, he wasn't even looking at them from the same level. Instead, it felt as though he was vaguely looking down on the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel and the people on it.
While there were still others within the valley, this middle-aged man did not need to move at all. Just by simply standing there, he had already drawn everyone's gazes, making it hard for Yan Zhaoge and the others to notice anyone else.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze hardened slightly, "From the looks of it, he should be an Immortal Bridge Martial Saint expert. He should be at the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Immortal Bridge stage. However, his strength surpasses that of Pavilion Lord Gu Hong and the others of the North Sea Sword Pavilion."
After having come to the World beyond Worlds, Yan Zhaoge had seen more than a single Immortal Bridge Martial Practitioner.
Among the Shenling Nine Swords, there were two people, one old and one young, and the North Sea Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Gu Hong.
However, even though they were at the same cultivation level, the pressure they gave off was far inferior to that of the middle-aged man in the valley.
Facing this person, Yan Zhaoge vaguely felt like he was facing an Endless Magnetic Storm.
That middle-aged man gazed over, just happening to meet Yan Zhaoge's gaze.
Even Zheng Ming, Chen Zhiliang, and the others felt that although this middle-aged man was eye-catching, they couldn't see through him.
However, as Yan Zhaoge met his gaze, he was able to see many things within.
That unperturbed gaze was like a river of time, stretching from ancient times to the present.
It contained the timelessness of time, but also the fleeting passage of time. It seemed to have the liveliness of a child, but also the vicissitudes of an old man.
Yan Zhaoge understood that this was a sign that he had already attained a certain level of attainment in cultivating in the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture.
It seemed that in the eyes of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, the most important thing had indeed been the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation earlier.
The person before them could virtually be considered the current number one expert of the Royal Reed Sea. Yet, he had always remained silent as he guarded this valley, guarding the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation, never leaving the mountain.
Shen Lingzi's lineage was indeed worthy of cultivating in the martial arts of the Jade Clear direct lineage, producing numerous experts as they were even more powerful than the royal family of the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
A deep, heavy voice resounded within the valley, originating precisely from that middle-aged man, "This one is Kang Ping, my Grand Master Shen Lingzi. Are you disciples of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage?"
His voice was not loud, no power emanating from it at all.
However, the multi-coloured light surrounding the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel suddenly shook like ripples on water.
Zheng Ming's expression did not change, "Zheng Ming of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage. Greetings, Mister Kang."
The middle-aged man Kang Ping said, "Thanks to the Southeastern Exalt's magnanimity in allowing us to remain in the Royal Reed Sea in the past, I wonder if you have come here today?"
Only now did Zheng Ming's gaze shift away from Kang Ping, scanning the valley.
"Kang … Ping?" Yan Zhaoge exchanged looks with Feng Yunsheng and Ah Hu.
Chen Zhiliang said, "I dare not command you. It is just that I have a question that I hope Mister Kang can dispel for us."
Kang Ping said mildly, "Please speak."
Gazing at him, Chen Zhiliang asked slowly, "Your Grand Master, King Xuanwen, Daoist Shi and the other seniors came to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory that year to report to my Master that they wanted to borrow the geographical location of the Royal Reed Sea to concoct the Eight Trigrams Treasured Yang Pill."
"May I ask Mister Kang if you need to establish the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation in order to concoct the Eight Trigrams Treasured Yang Pill?"
Kang Ping's face was calm as a lake as he answered in an indifferent tone, "There is naturally no need. There is naturally no Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation here."
Chen Zhiliang's gaze hardened. Kang Ping's gaze fell on the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel that was still glowing brightly above the massive vessel, "You found us through that Earth Returning Fleeing Formation? It is no wonder. We once established a Source Flowing Earth Birthing Formation here just now, drawing in the qi of the earth, thus disrupting the flow of the earth veins. "
Chen Zhiliang glanced deeply at Kang Ping.
The Earth Returning Fleeing Formation could only find places where the earth veins were disturbed. Also, it was not just the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation that could disrupt the earth veins. The Source Flowing Earth Birthing Formation could do the same.
His hands behind his back, Kang Ping said neither swiftly nor slowly, "Following the will of our ancestors, we have wholeheartedly concocted pills. We naturally established a formation that is effective in concocting pills. There is no need for the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation. The Southeastern Exalt is perceptive and would not be deceived by some baseless rumours."
Chen Zhiliang looked at Zheng Ming, only to see him suddenly taken aback.
"Ye Xin, why are you here?"
Chen Zhiliang was even more shocked upon hearing his words. His attention shifted away from Kang Ping as he gazed over in the direction of Zheng Ming's gaze. Indeed, he saw a tall woman within the valley.
Wen Luoxia asked curiously, "Senior apprentice-sister Ye?"
That woman was her senior apprentice-sister and also Chen Zhiliang's personal disciple Ye Xin. They had arrived in the Royal Reed Sea together previously, just having been temporarily separated afterwards.
Ye Xin flew up, ascending the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel as she greeted Zheng Ming and Chen Zhiliang, "Master, senior apprentice-uncle."
Chen Zhiliang appraised her, "Why are you here?"
Ye Xin answered, "I was just about to report this to Master. Someone came over from the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, secretly entering our southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and entering the Royal Reed Sea. This disciple encountered them and was nearly killed. It was thanks to those of the Grand Xuan Dynasty that I was saved."
Chen Zhiliang frowned, "Knowing your identity, they still wanted to act against you?"
Ye Xin nodded, a look of fury as well as lingering fear appearing on her face, "Precisely."
Zheng Ming and Chen Zhiliang exchanged glances, their gazes turning even more solemn.
Kang Ping's gaze now turned towards Yan Zhaoge, "We were granted permission by the Southeastern Exalt to reside in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. Encountering such a thing, it is only right for us to lend a hand."
"Still, this Kang also has some debts to settle with this little brother."
Yan Zhaoge's gaze swept over, seeing Madame Kang, Qi Wei, Kang Jinyuan and Kang Maosheng all appearing within the valley. (To be continued.)
