Yan Zhaoge felt great beating a drowning dog.
The pitiful Kang Ping and the others were unable to exert their unparalleled cultivation bases due to the black hole down below.
Yan Zhaoge circled around them, one man and one sword, going through all of them before starting all over again.
Finally, everyone, Kang Ping included, was forcibly dragged back to the depths of the sea by the black hole down below.
Beneath the vortex, the massive black hole began devouring Kang Ping and the others as it distorted unceasingly.
It was already not far from the complete collapse of the black hole.
Kang Ping raised his head, glancing hatefully at Yan Zhaoge in the air above him.
He formed a sword seal, wielding the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword.
Seeing Kang Ping's actions, Gu Zhang and He Dongcheng sighed, forming a sword seal that was exactly the same as Kang Ping's.
Three Immortal Bridge Martial Saints of the same lineage wielded the Time Flowing Sword together.
The three sword-lights landed on the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword. The sword-light that resembled water emanated from the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword, enveloping the entire black hole.
Time at the bottom of the sea seemed to freeze at this moment.
The black hole no longer distorted restlessly. Still, Kang Ping and the others were locked in place where the black hole and the World beyond Worlds intersected.
The entire region of sea in the Clear Scenic Region seemed to have been separated from the World beyond Worlds at this moment, transforming into an independent space.
Luo Zhiyuan and the others of the Radiant Light Sect resembled insects sealed within amber at this moment.
The massive whirlpool above the sea's surface gradually regained its calm, no longer sinking downwards.
With the terrifying suction force down below having vanished, everyone above the sea no longer had to remain on Pan-Pan's back in order to stand stably.
Yan Zhaoge kept the Evil Sword Taotie as well, gazing at the black hole down below that was enveloped by a layer of blurry radiance.
The Endless Magnetic Storms gradually showed signs of reappearing.
Yan Zhaoge jolted awake, raising his head and gazing into the distance.
Two streaks of sword-light flickered in the distant horizon, rapidly approaching as they arrived before Yan Zhaoge and the others in an instant.
The sword-lights halted, two people appearing. One had an aura as sharp as a sword while the other had a smile on his face.
They were precisely disciples of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage, the 'Shadow Mountain Sword King' Lin Hanhua and the 'Green Plains Sword King' Mu Jun.
Glancing at the black hole down below, Lin Hanhua asked, "Have any disciples of the Southern Exalt's lineage appeared before?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, saying slowly, "A person appeared. He said that his surname was Zhuang, and his name was Zhuang Chaohui."
Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun looked at each other. "Zhuang Chaohui? He's actually here?"
Hearing Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun's words, Yan Zhaoge's earlier guess was verified.
'Flame Phoenix Chasing Sun' Zhuang Chaohui, also known as the 'Phoenix Prince', was the youngest son of the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen. He was a famous figure in the entire World beyond Worlds.
Lin Hanhua's expression was somewhat serious. The smile on Mu Jun's face faded a little.
A late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had previously entered the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Royal Reed Sea. They had hurried over to deal with him.
From the looks of it now, it was a diversion. Zhuang Chaohui's side might be their true objective.
A smile reappeared on Mu Jun's face, "Does Little Friend Yan know why Zhuang Chaohui has come?"
The main reason why they were in a passive position was that they did not know the other party's true motives.
Yan Zhaoge pointed at the black hole down below, "This is the legacy manor of a senior. There are some collectibles left behind by that senior within."
"One of them should be a phoenix bone."
A shocking radiance erupted from Lin Hanhua's gaze as Mu Jun's gaze hardened slightly as well, "… Phoenix bone?"
Yan Zhaoge added, "This phoenix bone contains the true intent of the dawn mist of moral virtue of one of the Five Manifestations Five Virtues."
Hearing this, Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun immediately understood.
Lin Hanhua chuckled, "To think, to think that such a thing would actually be hidden in the lands of our southeastern Yang Heaven Territory."
Mu Jun's smile faded greatly, "Now, Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope has finally gotten what they wanted …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "They are still far from getting what they wanted."
Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun's expressions both changed as their gazes simultaneously fell on Yan Zhaoge, "Could it be … that it has fallen into your hands?"
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, pointing at Tang Yonghao by the side, "It is not with me. Instead, it is the fortuitous encounter of this senior apprentice-brother Tang Yonghao."
"He obtained that phoenix bone before Zhuang Chaohui did. Somehow, he refined it into his own body."
Yan Zhaoge said, "Zhuang Chaohui wanted to refine him completely and obtain the phoenix bone, but I stopped him. Now, the phoenix bone is still within senior apprentice-brother Tang's body."
Lin Hanhua pondered for a moment before asking Tang Yonghao, "Are you willing to return to Golden Court Mountain with us?"
Tang Yonghao had already long since known what kind of place Golden Court Mountain was.
The Radiant Light Sect along with their Chief Luo Zhiyuan were all trapped within the black hole down below.
Tang Yonghao would not be able to join the Grand Xuan Dynasty that had broken through the Sun Moon Peak. Still, Golden Court Mountain was a good choice.
If there was any hope of reestablishing the Sacred Sun Clan, it might lie here.
Tang Yonghao bowed towards Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun, "This junior is willing."
He straightened his body, swivelling his head to look at Yan Zhaoge. He saw that Yan Zhaoge had a calm expression on his face, no fluctuations in his gaze whatsoever.
Golden Court Mountain's lineage would most likely not refine Tang Yonghao and extract his bone.
On the contrary, if he went to Golden Court Mountain, he might be treated well, perhaps even gaining a chance to enter their lineage.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Tang Yonghao had a rather complex expression on his face.
Tang Yonghao's views on the matter of the Sacred Sun Clan that year were actually similar to Meng Wan's. While he did not agree with the decisions of Huang Guanglie, Huang Xu and Huang Jie, that had been his lineage at the end of the day.
The other side had been too powerful, the difference in their strength too great. This would not be a reason for Tang Yonghao to hesitate.
Still, he knew that he would be hard pressed to raise his sword against Yan Zhaoge now.
Whether or not he was able to enter Golden Court Mountain, if not for Yan Zhaoge, he would long since have died at Zhuang Chaohui's hands.
Mu Jun's gaze that was on Yan Zhaoge was filled with admiration.
The Southern Exalt's lineage would definitely not give up on Tang Yonghao and that phoenix bone.
While this was a hot potato for Yan Zhaoge, it was a supreme treasure and trump card for Golden Court Mountain to control the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
There were too many things that Golden Court Mountain could do around this phoenix bone.
In just a mere instant, quite a few ideas had already popped up within Mu Jun's mind.
Mu Jun glanced at Yan Zhaoge.
The youth before him had really been of great help to Golden Court Mountain this time.
The various benefits that could be expected were all tangible, far surpassing that of having seen through the secrets of the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation and having helped to obstruct Wang Hui, Li Jin and the others.
Mu Jun pondered as he gazed at the sea of the Clear Scenic Region down below, asking casually, "Little Friend Yan, it is rumoured that the Radiant Light Sect obtained the Extreme Yin Crown. Is this treasure currently in the black hole at the bottom of the sea as well?"
Yan Zhaoge was silent for a moment before he smiled, "No, it is currently in the hands of my wife. Back in the Eight Extremities World many years ago, our clan fought over this treasure with the Sacred Sun Clan that the Radiant Light Sect supported. Now, we have finally succeeded."
Glancing rather surprisedly at Yan Zhaoge, Mu Jun smiled, "It's actually one stage of perfection."
