(PS: This is the second chapter update on the 25th.)
Yan Zhaoge was somewhat familiar with the spiritual qi fluctuations and the voices of the people speaking.
He retracted his aura slightly and leaned forward. The other party's voice instantly became clearer.
"Please don't be impatient. We have no intention of becoming enemies with you."
The one who had spoken was clearly the former Chief of the Sacred Sun Clan of the Eight Extremities World, the Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao.
"The enemy of the Great Xuan Dynasty is the Radiant Light Sect. While we are residing in the Radiant Light Sect, it is merely a temporary measure. After ascending from the Lower Worlds, we just happened to be within the Radiant Light Sect's sphere of influence. Thus, we are temporarily residing in the Radiant Light Sect."
Zhang Chao's tone was calm, not containing any anger at all, "Your position in the Grand Xuan Dynasty is extraordinary, and you should be able to come into contact with all kinds of news. My Sacred Sun Clan has never directly become enemies with the Grand Xuan Dynasty, nor with the figures of your Shenling Ten Swords, nor do we have any blood debts on our hands."
Opposite Zhang Chao stood two people. They were the two brothers, Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan.
They had all accompanied their father, Kang Ping, in the great battle that had broken through the Radiant Light Sect's Sun Moon Peak.
Then, under their insistence, they followed Kang Ping into the seas of the Clear Scenic Region and into the Endless Magnetic Storms.
It was only after they entered the underwater palace that they were separated from Kang Ping.
The two of them walked in the underground palace. They did not run into Luo Zhiyuan, Gu Hong, Gongsun Wu, and the others, but they ran into Zhang Chao.
Kang Jinyuan's face was gloomy and he did not say a word. His entire person seemed to be shrouded under a layer of darkness.
This appearance was completely different from his usual domineering and unbridled appearance.
Ever since his mother, Madame Kang, had perished, he had always been like this.
Grief, anger, panic, bewilderment, all sorts of emotions intertwined.
Still, after having calmed down slightly, he could not forget that it had been his impulsive Blood Incantation Shattering Space Awl that had given Yan Zhaoge a chance to execute within the wound of the sky.
Everything that had been set up afterwards had originated from here. Without that Blood Incantation Shattering Space Awl, Yan Zhaoge's Blood Devil Plate alone would not have been able to complete the subsequent Blood Devil Ritual and Illusory Devil Ritual.
It was precisely because of the sudden appearance of that Blood Incantation Space Shattering Awl that Yan Zhaoge had been able to adapt to the situation, leading to the various changes that had occurred afterwards.
In the end, it left the Radiant Light Sect's Luo Zhiyuan and the others as well as Madame Kang and her two sons in a battle between two tigers where one would definitely die, perhaps even all of them.
No one mentioned this. His father, Kang Ping, had never mentioned it. His brother, Kang Maosheng, who had always been hostile to him, had never mentioned it either.
But Kang Jinyuan himself could never forget it.
Kang Maosheng, who was standing beside him, was as steady as before, but he was actually very calm.
At this moment, however, radiance flickered on the God's Gate acupoint on his wrist, resonating with the actual stars up in the sky. He had shockingly already successfully broken through space, seeing true Divinity as he stepped into the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Seeing Divinity stage.
Compared to martial artists of the same realm, he was still extremely young and had unlimited potential.
Kang Maosheng looked at Zhang Chao. "What do you want to say? Just say it."
Although he was looking at Zhang Chao, at least half of Kang Maosheng's attention was on the woman beside Zhang Chao.
The woman was elegant and otherworldly. Her facial features were flawless, and her eyes were like that of a deer's. She was quick-witted, yet delicate, and lovable.
As compared to the last time Yan Zhaoge had seen her, she hadn't changed much, just having gained some calmness that had been accumulated over the years.
It was precisely Meng Wan.
She was currently standing calmly by Zhang Chao's side. Beside her was a handsome, high-spirited youth who resembled the sun rising from the east, the rising sun that was currently ascending towards the heavens.
It was Tang Yonghao whom she had not seen for a long time.
The three people of the Sacred Sun Clan who had come to the World beyond Worlds were all here now.
As compared to Meng Wan, the Radiant Light Sect clearly valued Tang Yonghao much less as the various resources they provided him could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Even so, however, Tang Yonghao's cultivation base had also advanced by leaps and bounds, displaying his outstanding talent which was rare even in the World beyond Worlds. In recent years, the Radiant Light Sect had been paying more and more attention to him.
Still, Tang Yonghao who was currently still a Martial Grandmaster was still not enough to enter Kang Maosheng's eyes even if his cultivation base was higher than Meng Wan's.
Kang Maosheng valued Meng Wan more than the white crown on Meng Wan's head.
It was bright and cold like the moonlight of extreme yin, yet no one could ignore it. Its radiance dispersed like ripples of water, seemingly enveloping the surrounding heavens and earth as an independent world was formed.
Having already successfully attained the Seeing Divinity stage, Kang Maosheng possessed shocking strength that surpassed even Zhang Chao.
This was especially so when Zhang Chao still did not possess a Sacred Artifact.
Still, Meng Wan wielded the Extreme Yin Crown, already able to unleash the might of a mid-grade Sacred Artifact. This supreme treasure that was on par with the Extreme Yang Seal was truly too powerful. If Meng Wan wielded it and joined hands with Zhang Chao, even Kang Maosheng did not have sufficient confidence in defeating them.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Chao had instead adopted a stance of seeking peace. Kang Maosheng's heart jolted slightly.
Indeed, he heard Zhang Chao say, "We wish to forsake the darkness for the light. We hope that you can recommend us."
Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan both frowned.
Fairly speaking, while Zhang Chao's strength was inferior to Kang Ping, Luo Zhiyuan and the others, he was already a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint at the end of the day, an expert wherever he went.
Also, Zhang Chao might still have room for improvement.
If he wished to submit to the Grand Xuan Dynasty, the Grand Xuan Dynasty would still welcome him. As he had said, there was no conflict between him and the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
Still, what Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan paid more attention to was the Extreme Yin Crown.
This high-grade Sacred Artifact was not just outstanding in itself. It could also represent something beyond itself.
Zhang Chao stood calmly where he was, waiting patiently.
The existence of the Extreme Yin Crown was also where his confidence lay.
After having learnt about the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown from various sources, Zhang Chao grew even more confident.
The more one understood the Extreme Yin Crown like Kang Ping and the others, the more prudent they would be in handling things, not blindly wanting to take it for themselves like the Radiant Light Sect.
He believed that Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan would most likely not refuse. At the very least, they would bring them to meet Kang Ping and the others first before making a decision.
Instead, it was Zhang Chao who had been observing Meng Wan's reaction all along.
While Meng Wan's current cultivation base was still that of a Martial Grandmaster, wielding the Extreme Yin Crown now, she could only be stronger than him, Zhang Chao.
To Meng Wan, Zhang Chao was a legendary grandmaster-level authority, her great senior apprentice-granduncle who was even stronger than Huang Guanglie who had always determined her fate in the Eight Extremities World that year.
Still, with the passage of time, the current Meng Wan already possessed the ability to make her own decisions even when facing Zhang Chao.
She was currently silent. Even as Zhang Chao felt at ease, he could not help but wonder what exactly Meng Wan was planning.
Beside him, Tang Yonghao could not help but knit his brows tightly, a look of worry appearing within his eyes.
Looking at Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan, Zhang Chao said slowly, "The Radiant Light Sect has deep enmity with you. Actually, the two of you also have a common enemy, that Yan Zhaoge."
"Meanwhile, this old man's lineage similarly has irreconcilable enmity with Yan Zhaoge and his lineage."
