Feeling those powerful auras, Yan Zhaoge understood what was going on.
It was not just Luo Zhiyuan, Tan Jin and the other Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners. Madame Kang's trio and he, Yan Zhaoge, had all been missing for a long time as well.
The experts of the various clans that knew of their general whereabouts gathered in the Phoenix Bearing Region to search for them.
The wound in the sky had transformed into an illusory domain, and even the spatial rift entrance had vanished into nothingness.
The experts of the various powers that had come to assist didn't know what was going on and were fearful of each other, so they fell into a deadlock in the area of the Phoenix Bearing Region, and none of them dared to act rashly.
Now that the wound in the sky was gradually recovering, everyone's attention was immediately drawn over.
Focusing his senses, Yan Zhaoge discovered that there were two strongest auras, both of which were sword qi.
One was majestic and vast like the sea.
One had no beginning and no end, deducing the profundities of time.
Without question, of the two Immortal Bridge Martial Saints, one was Pavilion Lord Gu Hong of the North Sea Sword Pavilion, the other was a figure of the Shenling Ten Swords.
Gu Zhang had previously been surrounded and injured by the experts of the various sects. It was still uncertain if he had recovered now. The one who had come was most likely another Immortal Bridge Martial Saint of Shen Lingzi's lineage besides Kang Ping and Gu Zhang – He Dongcheng.
In addition to Gu Hong and He Dongcheng, there were also the auras of other martial arts experts nearby.
Amongst them were people of the Radiant Light Sect as well as other martial practitioners of the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge emerge, Gu Hong and the others were first taken aback.
Before this, they did not understand the situation in the wound of the sky. They had all come to search for someone.
Seeing Gu Hong, Yan Zhaoge was rather taken aback as well. Still, thinking about it, he could more or less guess what was going on.
Gu Hong had most likely come at the request of the Radiant Light Sect.
While the matter of Nong Yuxuan stealing credit for the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder Formation back then had caused the North Sea Sword Pavilion and the Radiant Light Sect to be very unhappy, their relationship was not like that of the Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect who were mortal enemies at the end of the day.
Yan Zhaoge did not know what price the Radiant Light Sect had paid to ease their relationship with the North Sea Sword Pavilion, but it would probably not have been easy.
With Nong Yuxuan already dead, it was within reason for the North Sea Sword Pavilion to accept the Radiant Light Sect's apology.
While the Grand Xuan Dynasty had ceased all activities now, everything depended on the Southeastern Exalt's decision. Before this, no one knew what the outcome would be.
Perhaps there would be a time when everyone joined forces to resist the enemy. If the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold. The Radiant Sect had the intention to ease the tension, and the North Sea Sword Pavilion would also lend a hand.
"Yan Zhaoge?!" Seeing Yan Zhaoge appear, the mood of the Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners instantly turned terrible.
Sadly, in terms of relationship, the North Sea Sword Pavilion was instead closer to Yan Zhaoge.
The water-like sword light that was like a long river quickly filled the sky and pounced in the direction of the wound of the sky.
Gu Hong's sword-intent that resembled the vast, vast ocean immediately shot over to protect Yan Zhaoge, obstructing him.
"Little Friend Yan …" Gu Hong gazed inquiringly at Yan Zhaoge. Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, "Luo Zhiyuan, Tan Jin and the others are within the wound of the sky. Still, the chaotic flows of space are currently fierce within. Whether or not they can emerge will depend on their own abilities."
"Other than that, the Grand Xuan Dynasty has people within as well."
Gu Hong was shocked. He looked at the wound of the sky and saw that it was shaking violently.
The next moment, a figure shot out from within, looking battered and exhausted. It was the Chief of the Radiant Light Sect, Luo Zhiyuan.
Even with Luo Zhiyuan's experience, he too felt like he had just survived a tribulation as he felt incomparably fearful.
The expert of the Grand Xuan Dynasty who had led the group here seemed old, yet his eyes were bright and youthful as he resembled a youth. He was a descendant of Shen Lingzi's lineage, an early Immortal Bridge Martial Saint.
Seeing that Yan Zhaoge and Luo Zhiyuan had both emerged from the wound of the sky, yet Madame Kang and her sons were still nowhere to be seen, he could not help but feel greatly anxious.
As the sword-light was unleashed, an all-encompassing rain of light descended. Where the 'raindrops' passed, space itself was corroded.
As Gu Hong let out a long howl, he pushed his cultivation to the limit.
The dense sword-qi transformed into a boundless, limitless ocean that hung above the horizon, waves surging to the heavens as they resisted the other party.
Seeing that Yan Zhaoge and Luo Zhiyuan had already safely extricated themselves from the wound of the sky, Gu Hong did not continue battling as he instead led them in retreat.
While Luo Zhiyuan had broken free from the wound of the sky, he was completely exhausted. Even with the Sun Moon Wheels in hand, it was still insufficient for him to participate in a battle between Immortal Bridge Martial Saints.
The Grand Xuan Dynasty had numerous experts. If more reinforcements came, they would inevitably be exhausted.
Also, seeing Luo Zhiyuan glaring at Yan Zhaoge with a look of resentment on his face, Gu Hong felt a bit of a headache as well.
Yan Zhaoge was not concerned about this as he smilingly glanced at Luo Zhiyuan before turning to look at the wound of the sky once more.
He Dongcheng was similarly concerned about the wound of the sky. Seeing Yan Zhaoge, Gu Hong and the others retreat, he instead heaved a sigh of relief as he hurriedly shot towards that spatial crevice.
The spatial crevice that flickered with radiance distorted intensely, light flickering strangely.
Feeling the changes in space within, He Dongcheng's expression changed slightly.
He could feel that the interior of the wound of the sky did not just lead to a certain lower world as it was also connected to another independent spatial domain.
Meanwhile, that spatial domain had now completely collapsed, its terrifying might causing even He Dongcheng of the Immortal Bridge Martial Saint stage to feel fear.
What worried him even more was that if Madame Kang and her sons were within that spatial domain, even if he charged into the wound of the sky now, it would already be too late for him to save them. That spatial domain would already have been destroyed.
He Dongcheng was just about to exert his final effort when he saw a sword-light that was bright to the extreme shoot out from within the wound of the sky.
Looking at that sword-light, Luo Zhiyuan had a shocked look on his face.
Yan Zhaoge was rather taken aback as well. With his understanding of that bloodred vortex, it would collapse very soon. Of Luo Zhiyuan and Madame Kang's forces, only one should have been able to escape in time.
Still, seeing that sword-light that was bright to the extreme, Yan Zhaoge seemed to be deep in thought.
The sword-light of the Time Flowing Sword that he had obtained from the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture was long and lasting. The higher one cultivated in it, the more indifferent the sword-light would instead be, resembling the traceless flow of time.
Being bright and dazzling as it was now was actually an extremely abnormal phenomenon.
Resembling a shooting star, the splendor of an instant.
Led by Gu Hong, they did not linger for long as they sped off into the distance.
The Grand Xuan Dynasty seemed to have been obstructed by something as He Dongcheng and the others did not pursue them.
After leaving the Phoenix Bearing Region, Gu Hong looked at Yan Zhaoge and Luo Zhiyuan, "What happened just now?"
"Speaking of which, Chief Luo was caught in the crossfire." Yan Zhaoge said casually, "This Yan had some matters to attend to in coming to this wound of the sky. I did not know beforehand that the Radiant Light Sect's Elder Tan and those of the Grand Xuan Dynasty would be here."
"With both sides wanting to kill this Yan, this Yan naturally could not just sit there and wait for death. Therefore, I made use of the wound of the sky to compete with you all."
Yan Zhaoge looked at Luo Zhiyuan, "Only after seeing Chief Luo and the others did I understand why your sect's Elder Tan and the others had come here."
He smiled, "Of course, I won't deny it. If I had known earlier, I would have been very happy to block your path back to the World beyond Worlds. Therefore, there wouldn't have been much of a difference in the end."
