Yan Zhaoge's casual words caused the faces of Luo Zhiyuan, Tan Jin and the others to turn even darker.
The experts of the Radiant Light Sect resembled numerous active volcanoes that were about to erupt.
The pavilion master of the North Sea Sword Pavilion, Gu Hong, also smiled bitterly to himself. It looked like the enmity between the two sides had deepened.
Many things must have happened earlier. Perhaps they were related to the Dim Radiant Mausoleum of legend?
The Dim Darkness Sect having nearly been exterminated by the Star Plucking Practitioner seemed to be related to this as well?
Gu Hong's thoughts spun, but he was not in the mood to mediate between the two sides as he only said mildly, "Will Little Friend Yan have the time to visit our Grinding Hut Region as a guest?"
As soon as his words left his mouth, Luo Zhiyuan and the others understood that Gu Hong still wished to protect Yan Zhaoge at the end of the day.
The people of the Radiant Light Sect felt helpless. First not mentioning that it was Gu Hong who had come to the Phoenix Bearing Region to help them, in terms of strength alone, Luo Zhiyuan who was completely exhausted and had even lost the moon wheel of the Sun Moon Wheels did not have the confidence to stand against Gu Hong.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Pavilion Lord Gu is polite. It is this Yan who has disturbed you."
Luo Zhiyuan's face darkened as he took his leave of Gu Hong, no longer looking at Yan Zhaoge.
At this moment, he was afraid that if he took another look at Yan Zhaoge, he would no longer be able to control his urge to make a move.
Looking at Luo Zhiyuan's departing figure, Gu Hong sighed, "After returning this time, he probably won't be able to recuperate for too long. After recovering some of his vitality, he will lead the Radiant Light Sect in attacking the Dim Darkness Sect."
While the Radiant Light Sect's trip to the Dim Radiant Mausoleum this time had ended in a pathetic state, as compared to the Dim Darkness Sect which had been trampled upon by the Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide, their situation was undoubtedly much better.
Within a short period of time, it would be hard for the Dim Darkness Sect to climb back up from the depths of the abyss. Their longtime enemy, the Radiant Light Sect, would definitely not let go of such a good chance.
After the Dim Radiant Sect had split apart, the conflict between light and darkness which had been entangled for many years seemed to finally be coming to an end.
For this kind of thing, Gu Hong couldn't interfere and help either side.
Yan Zhaoge thought that this might not be the case. Just like everyone knew, if the Dim Darkness Sect wanted to recover its vitality, a very long time would be required even without any interference.
In truth, of the four great powers of the Royal Reed Sea apart from the Grand Xuan Dynasty previously, the North Sea Sword Pavilion, the Radiant Light Sect, the Dim Darkness Sect and Copper Men Island, the Dim Darkness Sect had already fallen from their thrones after this tribulation, temporarily losing the right to be mentioned alongside the other three powers.
If the Radiant Light Sect left the Dim Darkness Sect alone, the Dim Darkness Sect would need a very long time to recover from this.
At the very least, Chief Zhou Haosheng had to recover from his injuries. Still, Zhou Haosheng had been injured by the Star Plucking Practitioner, and it was all thanks to the Southeastern Exalt's disciple, Lin Hanhua, that he was still alive.
It was still unknown whether Zhou Haosheng would be able to recover and regain the cultivation and strength he had when he was at his peak.
Under such circumstances, while the two sides were longtime enemies, it was not urgent for the Radiant Light Sect to deal with the Dim Darkness Sect.
This was especially so when there seemed to be an existence that the Radiant Light Sect currently hated even more …
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin. He felt that after Luo Zhiyuan, Tan Jin and the others had returned to the Radiant Light Sect this time and recovered their vitality, they would first have to deal with him and Broad Creed Mountain.
Moreover, the Dim Radiant Wheel was in his possession.
With the assistance of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage and the North Sea Sword Pavilion, if the Radiant Light Sect felt that it would be hard for them to make a move, their target would most likely be Broad Creed Mountain of the Eight Extremities World.
Still, as long as his Grand Master Yuan Zhengfeng could return to the Eight Extremities World in time, with him and Yan Di joining forces, even if the Radiant Light Sect went all out, they might still not be able to do much.
After all, if they wanted to 'descend', their cultivation bases would be suppressed to below the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm.
As Yan Zhaoge pondered, he returned to the northern Grinding Hut Region of the Royal Reed Sea with Gu Hongxian.
Residing in the North Sea Sword Pavilion, Yan Zhaoge also gathered information on the current happenings in the Royal Reed Sea through the people in the surroundings.
Besides the Radiant Light Sect, Yan Zhaoge paid particular attention to the Grand Xuan Dynasty's movements.
If he did not guess wrongly, after having broken free from the bloodred vortex that day, Madame Kang might have perished.
That bright sword-light that was completely at odds with the sword-intent of the Time Flowing Sword resembled the final radiance of the setting sun, resembling the final bloom of a person's life.
At the end of the day, inquiring from others could not be compared to having his own capable subordinates gather the information. Yan Zhaoge could only wait patiently.
"Just like in the Eight Extremities World, I have to establish my own intelligence gathering channel in the World beyond Worlds as soon as possible," Yan Zhaoge thought.
Yan Zhaoge placed great importance on information and intelligence reports.
As Yan Zhaoge saw it, most people in this world were as intelligent as demons, taking everything into account. Most schemes that seemed perfect were based on the disparity in information between the two sides.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge had always been rather concerned about this. It had been so in the Eight Extremities World, and it was the same in the World beyond Worlds as well.
As the days gradually passed, news came that the Radiant Light Sect seemed to be restless as Luo Zhiyuan and the others gradually recovered their vitality.
Still, now, an even more attention-grabbing piece of news arrived.
The current number one expert of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, Kang Ping of the Shenling Ten Swords, had returned to the Royal Reed Sea!
Earlier, Kang Ping had accompanied the Southeastern Exalt's disciple Chen Zhiliang to Golden Court Mountain to meet the Southeastern Exalt, explaining the situation to him.
This matter was of great importance as it could directly determine the future direction of the Royal Reed Sea.
Now that the Grand Xuan Dynasty had ceased all activities and the North Sea Sword Pavilion, the Radiant Light Sect and the other sects were also doing their own things, they were actually all awaiting the Southeastern Exalt's decision.
Now that Kang Ping and Chen Zhiliang who had been away for many days had returned to the Royal Reed Sea together, there would be a conclusion to this matter.
If the Southeastern Exalt was enraged and did not allow the people of the Grand Xuan Dynasty to remain in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, the core experts of the entire Grand Xuan Dynasty, the direct descendants of King Xuanwen, Shen Lingzi and Daoist Shi, however unwilling they were, would only be able to abandon their hundred years of foundation and leave the Royal Reed Sea with their tails between their legs.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the heavens of the entire Royal Reed Sea would completely change.
For a time, all those who had received the news paid close attention as they awaited the final, accurate news.
Yan Zhaoge who was still a guest at the North Sea Sword Pavilion instead received another piece of news.
This was an invitation.
It came from the head disciple of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage who was currently presiding over the Royal Reed Sea, the 'Shadow Mountain Sword King' Lin Hanhua.
When Yan Zhaoge saw Lin Hanhua once more, he was still like an unsheathed sword that was unsheathed in all its glory.
Only when he met Yan Zhaoge did the sharpness surrounding his body vanish as he appraised Yan Zhaoge with a rather miraculous gaze, as if he was getting to know him all over again.
"Being able to wield the Blood Devil Ritual and the Illusory Devil Ritual so proficiently is truly inconceivable. You clearly do not cultivate in devilish martial arts."
Lin Hanhua shook his head slightly, "It can't be that you cultivate in a martial art like the Spatial Heavenly Scripture, right? While your strength far surpasses those of the same generation, being able to cause such a great change in the wound of the sky is no ordinary thing. "
Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm as he answered candidly, "It is indeed the Blood Devil Ritual and the Illusory Devil Ritual. I obtained them through a fortuitous encounter during my travels. In my youth, I was fond of all sorts of miscellaneous arts, having often been scolded by my seniors for not focusing on proper pursuits. I have made a fool of myself in front of you."
Lin Hanhua nodded, not pursuing the matter any further as he instead said something that would shake the entire Royal Reed Sea.
"Master has permitted Kang Ping and the others to continue staying in the Royal Reed Sea."
