Because of the matter of accepting Feng Yunsheng into the clan, Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan had been on bad terms in recent days.
In the lands of the Eastern Tang, the conflict between the two Sacred Grounds was practically completely open to the public. At every moment, there was friction and competition in all aspects.
To the outside world, if not for the constant changes occurring in the Sealing Dragon Abyss, Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan would have long since come to blows.
Having left Jingyang City, Elder Qin and the East Rising Lord of the Sacred Sun Clan battled in the vicinity of the Sealing Dragon Abyss.
In the end, no one was able to do anything to the other. Because the battle affected the Sealing Dragon Abyss, causing the abnormalities in the Sealing Dragon Abyss to intensify, the two sides finally stopped and retreated.
As the focal point of the dispute between the two sides, Yan Zhaoge had kept a much lower profile these past few months, living in seclusion.
However, Yan Zhaoge's life was actually as fulfilling as before.
He cultivated to improve himself, pondered on alchemy techniques, and researched the Internal Crystal Furnace.
Other than that, Yan Zhaoge was also paying attention to the matter that he had previously instructed Ah Hu to pay attention to.
"Young Master, it is indeed as you expected." Ah Hu stood in front of Yan Zhaoge, "Now, there are rumours that Ye Jing and Miss Lin still have an old relationship, and because of this, you were enraged and accidentally killed Miss Lin."
"What happened to Ye Jing in the Sealing Dragon Abyss was also because you were burning with jealousy and deliberately harmed him."
Ah Hu looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Young Master, you said earlier that this meant that Ye Jing had fallen into Yan Xu's hands?"
Sitting on the chair, Yan Zhaoge lightly tapped the table, his eyes narrowing into slits, "The possibility is very high."
"He won't give me the chance to confront Ye Jing face to face," Yan Zhaoge crossed his legs, "I'm afraid that this time, he really has the intention to kill me."
Ever since the Sacred Sun Clan had come knocking, Yan Xu had been very well-behaved for a very long period of time.
While he wouldn't intentionally tolerate Yan Zhaoge, he also wouldn't find trouble with him, which seemed completely normal.
Some believed that it was because Elder Qin had been holding down the fort in the Eastern Tang all this time, while others believed that it was because Elder Qin had given Yan Xu a wake-up call.
However, as Yan Zhaoge saw it, this was the calm before the storm.
After that, there would be an even more violent storm. It was as if a person had pulled back his fist and punched again with even more force.
Ah Hu grinned. "He's waiting for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but there might not be one."
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "The Sacred Sun Clan has always been eyeing us like a tiger eyeing its prey, while Infinite Boundless Mountain has also been eyeing us from the side. The balanced situation is actually very fragile."
"Everyone is waiting for an opportunity."
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge turned to look at Ah Hu, "Will Elder Qin be staying in Overlooking Abyss City in the near future?"
Ah Hu replied, "The changes in the Sealing Dragon Abyss are intensifying. If there are no other major changes, Elder Qin will remain here."
"The Sacred Sun Clan's East Rising Lord is also nearby, but he hasn't come looking for trouble. Perhaps he's worried about the changes in the Sealing Dragon Abyss."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "I will be in secluded cultivation for a period of time. Unless Elder Qin moves, do not disturb me."
Ah Hu scratched his head and asked, "Young Master, why are you doing closed-door training at this time?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, not speaking.
The others also felt rather flabbergasted at this decision of Yan Zhaoge's.
At first, he had thought that Yan Zhaoge wanted to use the Internal Crystal Furnace to forge a magic artifact. Afterwards, he had guessed that he wanted to cultivate in some sort of martial art.
However, as time passed, everyone discovered that this secluded cultivation of Yan Zhaoge's was far from as short as ten days to half a month.
"He can't be in seclusion trying to break through to the late outer aura Martial Scholar realm, right?"
Someone couldn't help but guess. As these words left his mouth, everyone else was instantly shocked, shaking their heads one after another, "How is that possible?! He only stepped into the mid outer aura Martial Scholar realm half a year ago, right? How could he possibly … "
As they spoke, the group of people fell silent.
Because they suddenly recalled that Yan Zhaoge had previously stepped into the mid outer aura Martial Scholar realm less than a month after stepping into the early outer aura Martial Scholar realm.
This kind of speed of improvement could no longer be described with the word 'terrifying'.
If that was the case, advancing from the mid outer aura Martial Scholar realm to the late outer aura Martial Scholar realm in half a year's time didn't seem so hard to accept?
… Accept my ass! Who the hell could accept this ah!
Everyone couldn't help but want to let loose a torrent of curses.
"Who knows what special method he used to advance from the early outer aura Martial Scholar realm to the mid outer aura Martial Scholar realm back then?" Someone said in a low voice, letting out a cold snort.
After seeing clearly who it was that had spoken, everyone's expressions became a little complicated.
The previous Acting Elder of the Spirit Wind Canyon, Wen Ningzhi.
The previous investigation had already ended, and in the end, Wen Ningzhi had still barely managed to pass it. He had only been reprimanded for neglecting his duties, and had finally been cleared of any suspicion of colluding with the enemy.
However, while he was still an Acting Elder, he did not hold any actual position, instead being an idle person, following by the side of the Eastern Tang's Principal Elder, Yan Xu, awaiting his orders.
The Acting Elders of the various lands all had their own carrots and pits.
With Elder Qin keeping watch from above, and Yan Xu also not being able to make any arrangements for Wen Ningzhi, Wen Ningzhi could only be idle.
It was hard to say whether or not he would be able to continue staying in the lands of the Eastern Tang.
Yan Zhaoge's second apprentice-uncle Fang Zhun's faction, including Yan Xu, might still trust him. However, Wen Ningzhi had already inevitably been labelled as' useless'.
This caused his future prospects to be completely gloomy.
Wen Ningzhi said in a heavy tone, "The Sacred Sun Clan has the Divine Sun Needle entering the body. While similar techniques are extremely rare in the Eight Extremities World, there are still a few of them."
"When Yan Zhaoge faced the pressure of the late outer aura Martial Scholar Xiao Shen, he resorted to a method of seeking instant success, drinking poison to quench his thirst. This is also a very normal thing."
"It's just that this will definitely affect his future cultivation in the martial dao!"
"The heavens are balanced; how can all the good things be obtained by a single person?"
Some people looked at Wen Ningzhi with ridicule in their eyes, feeling that it was because he had suffered a setback at Yan Zhaoge's hands that he found Yan Zhaoge to be an eyesore.
However, even more people secretly felt the same way.
If not for this, Yan Zhaoge advancing from the early outer aura Martial Scholar realm to the mid outer aura Martial Scholar realm in a single month would really be too shocking, completely going against all logic.
Also, this was not the logic of ordinary people; in the world of geniuses, it was also something that was impossible to happen.
Someone beside him sighed softly, "Even so, that's also something that can't be helped, right? Even if there are future troubles, it's still better than being killed or injured by Xiao Shen on the spot. "
As they spoke, everyone's hearts suddenly jolted simultaneously.
Turning their heads to look, they saw a person walking in from outside the door. It was precisely Yan Zhaoge.
"What are you all chatting about so happily?" Yan Zhaoge asked smilingly.
Someone came forward to welcome him, "Zhaoge has left seclusion? This time, it's been a really long time … "
Halfway through his words, he abruptly stopped, as though his voice had been cut off by someone using a pair of scissors.
As the others looked over, they were also instantly petrified, their mouths unconsciously agape, their eyes staring wide open.
Wen Ningzhi frowned. Looking from the back row, he only felt that Yan Zhaoge's height seemed to have increased by quite a bit compared to before.
When he squeezed through the dazed crowd to the front row, after seeing it clearly, he almost fainted.
Yan Zhaoge's height hadn't increased, just that he was currently hovering in mid-air, his feet a foot away from the ground.
"Having broken through, I naturally came out of seclusion," Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly, at the same time walking towards them.
A foot was definitely not Yan Zhaoge's limit for hovering in mid-air, but in this situation, it was already sufficient.
His body temporarily floated in mid-air, and he could even control qi to move about in mid-air.
