Far away from the capital of the Eastern Tang, Jingyang City, on a hill, several figures stood quietly, gazing at Jingyang City.
The sunlight shone on them, making their golden robes even more dazzling.
The middle-aged man at their head was precisely an Elder of the Sacred Sun Clan, the East Rising Lord of the Seven Reigning Suns.
Beside the East Rising Lord stood a golden-robed old man, the Sacred Sun Clan's Principal Elder in the Eastern Tang. Other than him, there were also other Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners.
A white-clothed young man stood in the middle of the crowd. His face was covered with a thick beard, and he looked bold and unruly, but his eyes were filled with a snake-like gloomy and cold light.
The youth's face was still a little pale, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Jingyang City.
He was naturally Xiao Shen.
At this moment, his hatred towards Yan Zhaoge was not any less than that of Feng Yunsheng at all.
Not only had Feng Yunsheng defeated him, but she had also humiliated him greatly. She had even publicly announced the matter of him being injured by Feng Yunsheng.
The skin on Xiao Shen's face had been completely torn off.
The matter of him being injured by Feng Yunsheng had always been kept under wraps. Even within the Sacred Sun Clan, those who knew the specifics were limited.
Now, everyone knew about it.
Although no one else was looking at him, as Xiao Shen stood within the crowd at this moment, he could feel the gazes of disdain and mockery all around him, making him feel as though he was sitting on pins and needles.
This anxiety and embarrassment completely transformed into hatred, all of which was concentrated on Yan Zhaoge.
The golden-robed Elder turned to look at the East Rising Lord, "Inform the sect to send more experts over. We can't just let things go like this."
"Meng Wan lost the Extreme Yin Crown last year, and the Chief has also been in secluded cultivation all this time. It looks like some people have forgotten that our Sacred Sun Clan is the number one Sacred Ground of the current world!"
"So what if the Eastern Tang Kingdom is in the Heaven Region? As long as our Glory Sect is willing, we can still crush them. "
These words could only be said by him. If it were anyone else, they would be suspected of doubting the East Rising Lord's abilities, which would instead make the East Rising Lord unhappy.
The East Rising Lord stood there. Even if he did not put on any airs, he still seemed as dazzling as the sun.
He quietly looked at Jingyang City in the distance. "How are the preparations we made earlier?"
The golden-robed elder shook his head slowly. "It's not thorough enough."
The East Rising Lord said, "We have not made sufficient preparations, and it is the same for Broad Creed Mountain as well."
"But this time, the changes in the Dragon Sealing Abyss can make up for our shortcomings and give us a chance to succeed."
The golden-robed elder perked up. "That's right."
The East Rising Lord swivelled his head to look at Xiao Shen, "All other factors aside, for Yan Zhaoge to defeat you, it seems like it wouldn't be difficult at all?"
"I'm slightly inferior," Xiao Shen took a deep breath and replied with much difficulty.
The East Rising Lord turned his gaze towards Jingyang City once more, "Even though you are a level higher, you are still inferior. If you were of the same cultivation level, the result would probably not be much better than Yuanlong's."
Xiao Shen clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head.
The East Rising Lord said mildly, "If that's the case, I seem to have seen another Zhan Dongge, another Yan Di. His potential might even be even more shocking."
"Such a good seedling, what a pity that he also came from Broad Creed Mountain."
"It would be best if we can deal with him before he grows."
Hearing his words, Xiao Shen's breathing instantly turned ragged. The East Rising Lord did not even turn his head, "Just wait patiently. Perhaps you will have the chance to personally slay Yan Zhaoge, taking revenge for yourself."
"Being able to kill Yan Zhaoge with my own hands is exactly what I wish for."
Xiao Shen's breathing steadied as he spoke softly.
… …
After taking his leave of Zhao Shicheng, Yan Zhaoge left the courtyard, where he saw Ah Hu waiting for him.
Ah Hu walked up, smiling in a simple and honest manner, "Young Master, how is it?"
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "Junior apprentice-sister Feng will be sent back to the clan. We will continue staying here; I still have some matters to attend to."
"As for junior apprentice-sister Lin's matter, neither Yan Xu nor I will interfere. Yan Xu will hand over the things that he holds, but I don't think he will give up."
At this point, Yan Zhaoge instructed, "Ah Hu, regarding junior apprentice-sister Lin's death, get people to pay attention to the direction of the rumors. If there are any changes, inform me immediately."
Ah Hu scratched his head, "Young Master, what kind of changes?"
"The direction of the rumors now is that junior apprentice-sister Lin was jealous and came to pester me, only to be accidentally killed by me in a moment of impatience." Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, "If the direction of the rumors is that junior apprentice-sister Lin still has feelings for Ye Jing, throwing herself back into his embrace, and me killing her in a moment of rage, that means one thing …"
"Yan Xu, he might have found Ye Jing."
"Spreading this kind of rumour, while destroying my reputation, is unable to touch my foundation. The spreading of these rumors is only a layer of paving."
Yan Zhaoge said leisurely, "I have a feeling that this time, Yan Xu … probably wants me to never return to the clan."
Ah Hu stopped laughing, his expression turning solemn, "He wants to kill Young Master?"
"But why? There's no reason ah. Young Master, you've embarrassed him a few times; even if he's angry, it shouldn't be to the extent of wanting to kill you, right? "
"After all, Young Master, you are different from other disciples of the younger generation. Could it be that Elder Fang … "
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before saying, "It wasn't second apprentice-uncle's idea; it should be Yan Xu's own idea. Perhaps it was just my misperception, but regarding junior apprentice-sister Lin's death this time, Yan Xu's performance was a little strange."
Ah Hu said in a heavy tone, "Has he gone mad? This has already crossed his bottom line. "
"Young Master, the potential that you have now displayed has already surpassed that of those of the same generation. It would be very difficult for Elder Fang to produce a disciple of the younger generation who can contend against you."
"If something happens to you, let alone the Family Head, even the old Clan Chief won't let him off!"
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Of course he won't take the blame for himself. That Ye Jing, is precisely the best scapegoat for him."
Ah Hu was taken aback, as he opened his mouth wide, "Just based on that brat Ye Jing, he can kill you, Young Master?"
Yan Zhaoge spread his hands apart, "Didn't I just offend the people of the Sacred Sun Clan badly? Moreover, there's still the Crimson Spirit Flag Master, as well as that Ghost Hatchet Elder who is related to Ye Jing. "
"Me dying at the hands of those Martial Grandmasters would naturally be the most perfect result."
"If Yan Xu had to personally make a move, any one of those Martial Grandmasters would have the ability and the motive to heavily injure me. He could have used me as a cover, then let Ye Jing deal the final blow."
"If Yan Xu wants to kill me, it would be much easier than those Martial Grandmasters outside."
"Elder Qin has come, and blocked the people of the Sacred Sun Clan. But conversely, the people of the Sacred Sun Clan have also drawn Elder Qin's attention."
"That Yan Xu, thus, has the space to move."
Ah Hu said earnestly, "Young Master, I solemnly recommend that you and Miss Feng directly return to the clan."
Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath, his hands behind his back as he walked, smiling, "Ah Hu, I won't hide it from you; from just now until now, I have been seriously considering the plan you suggested."
"However, it is not for my own safety, but rather for those of you who follow by my side, lest you get caught up in the crossfire."
"From my own point of view …" Yan Zhaoge's smile gradually turned cold, "Even if Yan Xu didn't move against me, I would still want to move against him!"
"Unlike Wen Ningzhi and Cui Xin from before, wanting to get rid of a Principal Elder, the opportunity is not easy to find."
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "But conversely, getting rid of a Principal Elder, the losses on second apprentice-uncle's side are also completely not something that two Acting Elders can compare to."
Ah Hu blinked, "Young Master, this is playing with fire ah; who knows, you might even end up burning yourself."
Yan Zhaoge smiled nonchalantly, "How can there be completely no risk in this world?"
Very quickly, Broad Creed Mountain's higher echelon experts also arrived at Jingyang City.
After another round of discussion, Yan Zhaoge ultimately still chose to remain in the Eastern Tang, while Feng Yunsheng followed them back to Broad Creed Mountain.
"First go back and properly nurse your injuries, making your preparations. When I return to the Mountain, your nightmare should begin." Yan Zhaoge looked smilingly at Feng Yunsheng, "What awaits you, will be hardship that surpasses your imagination."
Feng Yunsheng raised her brows, smiling as she asked, "How hardship?"
