While the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel was powerful, it was still an external object at the end of the day.
Of the Southern Exalt's lineage, having inherited the Southern Exalt's supreme martial art, the Phoenix True Form Scripture, cultivating in the true form of the Fire Phoenix and cultivating in the true intent of the Five Virtues.
If he managed to cultivate the White Qi of Nether Virtue, the heavens would leave him a sliver of hope. If he was bent on escaping, it would be very difficult to stop him.
The opponent had to be clearly stronger than him or have some special technique to have a chance.
As Zheng Ming wielded the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, it was not easy for his opponent to block him. However, the other party did not think of competing with Zheng Ming, instead focusing on fleeing. In the end, he still managed to escape.
It was instead Wang Hui who had been intercepted due to Yan Zhaoge.
Bai Ziming and that North Sea Sword Pavilion Elder both felt rather resentful. Still, they had to admit that if not for Yan Zhaoge just happening to be blocking their way, Wang Hui and the other would have had a great chance of escaping.
Looking at the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, Wang Hui let out a long sigh towards the heavens, completely losing all thoughts.
While her fellow disciple of the peak of the late Seeing Divinity stage had been able to escape from the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, she did not possess this ability.
Zheng Ming clapped his palms together, and a streak of light instantly descended from the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, sweeping Wang Hui up and keeping her within.
Wang Hui no longer resisted, just staring fixedly at Yan Zhaoge as if wanting to imprint his figure into her mind.
Yan Zhaoge kept the Myriad Dragon Palace, boarding the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel alongside Bai Ziming.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Zheng Mingyan said, "This Zheng is filled with gratitude for the righteous actions of the three of you. I will not make things difficult for the three of you. If the Southern Exalt mentions it afterwards, my Master will bear the consequences."
Yan Zhaoge and the others nodded, smiling, "You are polite."
Zheng Ming looked at Yan Zhaoge, saying, "Little Friend Yan, did you just happen to come here this time, or were you invited?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It was just a coincidence. Still, it was good that I was of help."
Zheng Ming nodded, "I will soon be escorting the captured target back to Golden Court Mountain, asking my Master to decide on this matter. Does Little Friend Yan want to accompany me to Golden Court Mountain to meet my Master?"
Before Yan Zhaoge could answer, Zheng Ming added, "It is fine if you intend to remain in the Royal Reed Sea. My eldest apprentice-brother is already here. I will introduce him to you. With him looking after you, you will also not have to worry about the Southern Exalt's lineage coming to find trouble with you."
As he spoke, he looked towards the elder of the North Sea Sword Pavilion.
The expression of that North Sea Sword Pavilion elder changed slightly, "Mister Zheng is saying that the 'Shadow Mountain Sword King' Lin Hanhua has arrived?"
The 'Shadow Mountain Sword King' Lin Hanhua, an expert of the mid Immortal Bridge stage and the head disciple of the Southeastern Exalt.
Usually, the daily affairs of Golden Court Mountain were all handled by him. Unless there were extremely major matters, the Southeastern Exalt would not be alerted.
It was also rumoured that Lin Hanhua's background was deep as it was not merely limited to his identity as a disciple of the Southeastern Exalt.
While Lin Hanhua did not reside in secluded cultivation at Golden Court Mountain like the Southeastern Exalt, he would occasionally roam the outside world. Still, he seldom came to the Royal Reed Sea.
The last time Lin Hanhua had set foot in the Royal Reed Sea had been more than a hundred years ago when the Grand Xuan Dynasty had established its foundation in the Royal Reed Sea.
After a period of secret discussion, Lin Hanhua represented the Southeastern Exalt in tacitly allowing King Xuanwen and the others to establish themselves in the Royal Reed Sea.
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin.
Now that the facts had proven that King Xuanwen, Shen Lingzi, and the others had been harboring evil intentions all these years, Lin Hanhua's decision back then seemed a little hasty.
Yan Zhaoge felt that this Shadow Mountain Sword King's opinion of him was rather hard to predict.
"I have long heard of your great name, Mister Lin. It is always good that we have the fortune to meet," Yan Zhaoge said as he pondered.
The others were naturally happy to do so as well.
The Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel turned, heading into the distance. Yan Zhaoge paid attention to its direction, yet saw that the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel was travelling in the direction of the Dim Darkness Sect's branch altar which he had left a marker for earlier.
Yan Zhaoge was rather taken aback, "Is the Shadow Mountain Sword King a guest at the Dim Darkness Sect?"
Zheng Ming sighed, "That is not the case. The Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide suddenly arrived in the Royal Reed Sea, aggressively attacking the headquarters of the Dim Darkness Sect."
"I heard that it was due to the matter of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum that he was made a fool of by the Dim Darkness Sect. Enraged from embarrassment, he came to take revenge."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge's expression instantly turned rather strange.
Zheng Ming said, "Senior Guan said that he came here only for revenge. The Dim Darkness Sect would not take a single cent of what they obtained from the Dim Radiant Mausoleum."
"Eldest apprentice-brother just happened to be in the Royal Reed Sea. After much persuasion, he barely managed to preserve the Dim Darkness Sect's lineage. Still, the headquarters of the Dim Darkness Sect was still destroyed, countless of their experts killed or injured."
Zheng Ming said, "With Senior Guan's departure, the Dim Darkness Sect was virtually decimated as well. Eldest apprentice-brother remained there at the time, and should still not have left."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Is Chief Zhou Haosheng there?"
Zheng Ming nodded, "Chief Zhou was heavily injured. If not for eldest apprentice-brother's intervention, he would probably have been slain by Senior Guan on the spot."
Yan Zhaoge sighed as well. It should be that Guan Lide had come knocking on their door right after Zhou Haosheng and the others had returned from the mausoleum.
Perhaps Guan Lide had also wanted to intercept them outside of the World beyond Worlds, obtaining both wealth and people at that time without anyone knowing.
Having failed to intercept them afterwards, they had just killed their way to the Royal Reed Sea.
Zhou Haosheng and the others of the Dim Darkness Sect had let go of all reservations and gone all out in that battle back then.
If not for Lin Hanhua's arrival, the Dim Darkness Sect would probably have been eliminated from the Royal Reed Sea already.
In the Dim Radiant Mausoleum, the Dim Darkness Sect had not obtained much of value as they had been overtaken by the Radiant Light Sect, finally having been forced to retreat from the mausoleum prematurely.
Otherwise, the Chief of the Radiant Light Sect Luo Zhiyuan who had possessed the Dim Radiant Lamp and the Sun Moon Wheels back then would probably have been able to keep most of them there forever.
It was just that the affairs of the world were ever-changing. After Zhou Haosheng and the others learnt of all that had happened with the Dim Radiant Wheel afterwards, who knew what expressions they would have had?
That North Sea Sword Pavilion Elder said bemusedly from the side, "I only heard that the Dim Darkness Sect's newly constructed main altar was breached before it was even completed. Still, I did not know who the enemy was. There were many speculations for a time, not having thought that it was actually the Star Plucking Practitioner who made a move. The Shadow Mountain Sword King also arrived."
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before asking, "I wonder what the situation is with the Radiant Light Sect now?"
Now that he had asked this, the other party regained his wits, his expression turning even stranger, "Speaking of which, it is strange. The Radiant Light Sect has not moved at all. Normally, they would have long since made use of this chance to attack, completely exterminating the Dim Darkness Sect."
Because the Southeastern Exalt did not like outsiders taking advantage of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum, while Guan Lide had only come for revenge, Lin Hanhua still had room to interfere.
Meanwhile, the Southeastern Exalt and Lin Hanhua would not interfere in the conflict between the Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect.
While that North Sea Sword Pavilion Elder was inwardly bewildered, Yan Zhaoge knew that the Chief of the Radiant Light Sect, Luo Zhiyuan and the others, were currently still trapped amidst the chaotic flows of space, having yet to return.
This had originally been a good chance to attack the Radiant Light Sect. Sadly, their natural ally, the Dim Darkness Sect, had suffered a great tribulation as well, being in an even worse state than the Radiant Light Sect.
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, thinking, "Should I take the risk?"
