This was also Yan Zhaoge's first time seeing the higher echelon bigwigs of the Radiant Light Sect led by Luo Zhiyuan at such a close distance.
Surrounded by a group of Seeing Divinity Martial Saints, just their gazes alone were like a furnace.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, not minding it at all.
Under the current circumstances, it would be impossible for those of the Radiant Light Sect to tear him to shreds even if they wanted to.
The North Sea Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Gu Hong, stood in the middle of the crowd, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
Wherever his gaze passed, it was like a tangible sword edge, cutting off the gazes of all those who held enmity towards Yan Zhaoge.
Luo Zhiyuan turned his head and met Gu Hong's eyes. Gu Hong's gaze did not retreat in the slightest.
"He may be related to the Grand Xuan Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how he was able to flee from the hands of two experts of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm," Luo Zhiyuan said mildly, "One of them is even a formations grandmaster."
As the Chief of the Radiant Light Sect, he was dressed entirely in black, as opposed to the other white-clothed Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners.
Protected by the other black-clothed Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners, the Chief of the Dim Darkness Sect, Zhou Haosheng, was garbed in white.
The two factions stood facing each other, looking somewhat like the Yin Yang Fish of the Taiji diagram.
Zhou Haosheng stroked his beard, smiling, "Don't forget who it was that broke the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation. Was it from your Radiant Light Sect?"
The faces of those of the Radiant Light Sect were rather gloomy as they grew even more irritated.
Luo Zhiyuan's expression did not change. "This old man feels deeply sorry for Yuxuan's mistake and has already apologized to Pavilion Master Gu. However, this does not contradict what we are discussing now."
Gu Hong, Zhou Haosheng, and the others raised their eyebrows slightly.
A longtime Elder of the Dim Darkness Sect asked, "Chief Luo, could it be that the Grand Xuan Dynasty broke the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation themselves in order to gain our trust through this Little Friend Yan, thereby playing a greater role in luring us into greater danger?"
"What kind of danger can compare to the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation destroying the Grinding Hut Region's sword domain?"
That Dim Darkness Sect Elder snorted, "The worst case scenario would be us having to fight the Grand Xuan Dynasty to the death without any geographical advantage."
An old man beside Luo Zhiyuan said slowly, "These are two separate matters. While this Yan Zhaoge may have indeed foiled the Grand Xuan Dynasty's plans earlier, this does not mean that they will not join forces in the future."
"It is very likely that this person was captured alive by the Grand Xuan Dynasty. In order to survive, he is now obeying the orders of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, returning to scam us to atone for his crimes."
Another Radiant Light Sect Elder beside him said coldly, "With the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation having been broken, the Grand Xuan Dynasty should indeed hate him to the core. However, it is not necessarily that the other side does not have people who have great foresight. Instead of focusing on their past losses, they are instead planning for the future, making use of the favourable conditions that this child may have gained our trust in order to scheme further."
This person stared at Yan Zhaoge with a hawk-like gaze, "Check him first, see if there are any restrictions or mechanisms on his body."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "You mean that I can only be considered innocent if I died at the hands of the Grand Xuan Dynasty back then?"
That Radiant Light Sect Elder's expression was cold and indifferent, "You can also try and see if you can escape from the hands of two fifth level Martial Saints of our sect, proving that my deduction was wrong."
Everyone fell silent for a time.
In all fairness, this was the doubt within everyone's hearts, including those of the North Sea Sword Pavilion and the Dim Darkness Sect.
Yan Zhaoge having been able to escape alive from the combined attacks of Madame Kang and Qi Wei left everyone feeling that this was inconceivable.
While they knew that Yan Zhaoge was a heaven-defying genius with a powerful cultivation base, the difference in strength between the two sides was just too great.
Those of the Radiant Light Sect similarly suspected that even with the Extreme Yang Seal, this should not have been the case unless Yan Zhaoge was able to wield the power of the Extreme Yang Seal for a long period of time or unleash its complete power.
However, with Yan Zhaoge's current cultivation base, that should also be impossible.
Therefore, when Yan Zhaoge who they had originally thought to be dead suddenly appeared before them alive and well, everyone was inexplicably shocked.
Wu Zixiu frowned, "Little Friend Yan has something important to report in coming here this time. It cannot be delayed."
The other party countered, "If we do not verify whether he is a spy of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, who knows if his information is true or not, whether it is a trap of the Grand Xuan Dynasty? With the Grand Xuan Dynasty acting so strangely now, isn't it suspicious that he just so happens to appear at this time? "
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "Could a descendant of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage have set up a trap together with the Grand Xuan Dynasty, luring you into a trap?"
Everyone's breathing halted.
Chief Gongsun Wu of Copper Men Island raised his brows, "Do not speak nonsense. This matter cannot be joked about."
Everyone felt the same way. Hearing Yan Zhaoge's words earlier, they could only feel as though their hearts had skipped a beat.
Of course, this could not be joked about. If the Southeastern Exalt supported the Grand Xuan Dynasty like this, they would be completely powerless to resist at all. There would also be no need for them to join forces now as they might as well just disperse and return to their own territories.
Even if it was just the personal thoughts of a disciple of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage, everyone had to carefully weigh the severity of this.
Speaking of which, if Golden Court Mountain really had such thoughts, there would be no need for them to set up a trap. They could just directly sweep through with their strength.
While the bigwigs did not assume any airs, just them standing there virtually caused everyone else to feel suffocated.
Still, Yan Zhaoge continued talking casually, "Doesn't it sound like a ridiculous joke? This already proves that it is completely impossible. "
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping across Luo Zhiyuan and the others, "Don't worry about how I survived for now. What is more important is to first think about how to deal with the upcoming situation in the Royal Reed Sea."
"Due to having angered the Southeastern Exalt, the Grand Xuan Dynasty will be withdrawing on all fronts and acting in a low-profile manner, also sending someone to Golden Court Mountain to meet the Southeastern Exalt to explain the situation. Before this matter comes to a conclusion, the Grand Xuan Dynasty will have to be a cowardly tortoise for a period of time."
Yan Zhaoge smiled leisurely, "Everyone feels that the Grand Xuan Dynasty's current actions are strange. This is the reason."
The venue fell silent once more, silent as it had never been before.
The next moment, while no one spoke, everyone's private conversations erupted mightily.
True essence roiled as sound transmissions were transmitted to one another, joining together into one.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Pavilion Lord Gu Hong of the North Sea Sword Pavilion asked in a heavy tone, "What exactly is going on? Why would the Grand Xuan Dynasty anger the Southeastern Exalt? "
Wu Zixiu had already reported this to Zhou Haosheng via sound transmission.
After hearing it, Zhou Haosheng was also incomparably bemused as he looked at Yan Zhaoge with a probing gaze.
Wu Zixiu glanced at him. Zhou Haosheng pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.
"It's like this …" Wu Zixiu broke the apparent silence, beginning to narrate how Yan Zhaoge had come to look for him.
After hearing his words, everyone felt a chill within their hearts as they stared at Yan Zhaoge, "In that case …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, nodding, "Right, I have let everyone see a joke. Strictly speaking, this matter was also caused by this Yan."
