Yan Zhaoge had encountered a similar situation in the Eight Extremities World that year.
It was a man called Ouyang Qi who looked just like Sikong Qing disguised as a man.
Still, it was indeed an actual man.
With this precedent, Yan Zhaoge knew that it was not just limited to females like Sikong Qing as there was a possibility of meeting males as well.
Yan Zhaoge appraised the other party.
This person should be similar in age to Yue Baoqi of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Royal Reed Sea's North Sea Sword Pavilion.
Their cultivation and strength were higher, most likely because they came from different sects.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze fell on this person's clothes.
He was garbed in green clothes with the pattern of an ancient tree on his sleeves which had nine branches.
It would have been fine if Yan Zhaoge had not seen it. As he gazed at this pattern, that ancient tree of nine branches instantly seemed to turn real as its green leaves swayed amidst the wind.
That person, however, paid no heed to this because Yan Zhaoge was not the only one paying attention to this pattern.
Everyone in the surroundings, whether intentionally or not, inevitably paused as their gazes swept past this pattern.
This was because in the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, this symbol signified a person's identity.
Personal disciple of the Eastern Exalt's dao arena, Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale.
In the vast territory of the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, people dressed like this could do whatever they wanted most of the time.
The patterns on his sleeves were special as they integrated the essence, qi and spirit of the Clear Light Locale disciple as well as the martial true intent that the Eastern Exalt had personally imparted to them. Outsiders would be hard pressed to imitate it. Even if they managed to seize it, it would be very difficult for them to wear it.
It was not just the identity of the Clear Light Locale disciple. Everyone's attire was different as well.
While this attire was not a Sacred Artifact or a spirit artifact, it similarly possessed powerful defensive power as it was a rare treasure.
This was a secret art unique to Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale. Everyone in the eastern Vast Heaven Territory would recognise it.
It was no wonder that the personal disciple of the Eastern Exalt had suddenly appeared before them.
Yan Zhaoge had never been to the eastern Vast Heaven Territory before. Still, when he had chatted with Mu Jun and Chen Zhiliang at the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Golden Court Mountain previously, he had memorised many unique local customs and practices of the World beyond Worlds.
While Yan Zhaoge did not fully understand the special traditions of Clear Light Locale in the southeastern Vast Heaven Territory, he had still heard of them before.
As soon as he saw that man's attire, he had a rough idea, "A personal disciple of the Eastern Exalt?"
The Eastern Exalt was the hegemon of the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, a figure similar to the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie and the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen.
Thinking of this existence, a scene involuntarily surfaced within Yan Zhaoge's mind.
Several azure pillars of Qi suddenly appeared, and then converged to form a huge divine tree.
This divine tree seemed to pierce through the universe as the aura and power that emanated from it far surpassed that of late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints.
Back in the Dim Radiant Mausoleum, the Western Exalt and the Eastern Exalt had both made a move as well. It was just that they had been obstructed by the restrictions of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum in the end, losing track of the mausoleum as they had not been able to enter it in the end.
While it had only been for a brief moment, the Eastern Exalt's actions had still left some impression on Yan Zhaoge.
The profundity of the martial arts he cultivated and the abundance of resources his disciples could obtain were naturally far beyond what the North Sea Sword Pavilion could compare to.
It was not surprising that this person's cultivation was higher than Yue Baoqi's, whose talent was similar to hers.
The young man who bore a striking resemblance to Sikong Qing didn't pay too much attention to the onlookers as he left the city on his own.
Yan Zhaoge's interest was piqued as he secretly followed after him.
"Young Master, are we going to ambush him and kidnap him?" Ah Hu had an excited expression on his face.
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "If we can communicate, it would definitely be better to do so normally."
Feng Yunsheng could not help but laugh, "You mean that if we cannot communicate, we are going to ambush him and kidnap him?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "That will depend on the situation. He is a personal disciple of Clear Light Locale at the end of the day, and this is also the territory of the eastern Vast Heaven Territory. We still don't know if he has fellow disciples in the vicinity. If we really want to make a move, we will first have to familiarize ourselves with the environment and understand the surrounding situation."
Xiao Ai was rendered speechless, "Young Master is Young Master indeed. Others would think about how to befriend disciples of Clear Light Locale in the presence of the eastern Vast Heaven Territory. Young Master, you would actually want to kidnap him."
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "The wound of the sky that leads to the Eight Extremities World is in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. There is nothing wrong with befriending Golden Court Mountain, giving yourself a stable base of support."
"Now that we have a base of support, we will be able to move more flexibly elsewhere."
Now, Yan Zhaoge laughed lightly, "Moreover, kidnapping him is just the worst-case scenario. Who knows, we might even hit it off at first sight? Don't make it sound like I have already made up my mind to kidnap him. "
While they were both third level Martial Saints, the late Merging Avatar stage.
Still, whether it was Yan Zhaoge or the Northern Ocean Clone, it would be very hard for the other party to detect them as they followed behind him.
This youth headed north, entering the depths of a mountain range.
This mountain range was where the northeastern Sky Heaven Territory and the eastern Vast Heaven Territory intersected.
Yan Zhaoge followed for a while longer, his footsteps gradually slowing as he vaguely sensed that there was more than just a single expert up ahead.
While he did not fear them, if he continued getting closer, he might be discovered by them.
The auras of those people were similar to this youth he was following. They were likely disciples of the Eastern Exalt, descendants of Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale.
This youth who resembled Sikong Qing seemed to have hurried over here to meet up with his fellow disciples.
After joining forces, they set off once more, continuing deeper into the mountain range.
Yan Zhaoge adjusted the distance between them slightly before continuing to follow them.
After travelling for half a day, the other party's speed was not fast as they did not travel in a straight line. From the looks of it, they seemed to be searching for something.
While Yan Zhaoge was curious as well, comparatively speaking, he was more interested in the mysteries of that Martial Saint youth himself.
Just as Yan Zhaoge was about to directly reveal himself and attempt to interact with them, he felt that they had clearly slowed down.
A moment later, Yan Zhaoge sensed signs of a dimensional passageway opening up in the distant mountains.
These disciples of the Eastern Exalt seemed to have opened up a dimensional passageway that led to some foreign dimension.
Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, "Some secret dimension? It looks like these Clear Light Locale disciples are here to seek treasures? "
He followed them, preparing to reveal himself and interact with them.
As he neared, he discovered that this place was unusual. The power of dimensions was chaotic as streams of cold wind howled, blowing out from the entrance of the dimensional passageway.
Affected by this, the sensory abilities of martial practitioners would plummet greatly as they would only be able to rely on their five senses such as sight and hearing to observe their movements.
As a result, the Clear Light Locale martial practitioners guarding the entrance did not immediately see Yan Zhaoge as they instead chatted amongst themselves.
"That Snow Crane has vanished without a trace for a few years already. Now that traces of her have finally appeared, I hope that we can stop her this time."
As the other party's voice entered Yan Zhaoge's ears, his pupils abruptly dilated as he instantly halted in his tracks. (To be continued.)
