The conversation between the two Exalts in the heavens and earth of the World beyond Worlds could only be heard by them. Yan Zhaoge would not be able to hear it.
Still, facing the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu was naturally better for him than facing the Eastern Exalt.
After all, judging from the attitude of Li Cheng, Xiang Yiyang and the others, it was obvious that the people from the Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale in the Eastern Vast Heaven Territory were not very friendly towards Xue Chuqing.
Even her descendants, Yan Zhaoge, would be implicated.
While he did not know what the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu thought of Xue Chuqing, a great battle had erupted outside earlier.
From the feeling of being evenly matched, the person fighting Liu Zhenggu was at the same level of cultivation as him.
Since this was where the eastern Vast Heaven Territory and the northeastern Sky Heaven Territory intersected, it was most likely to be the Eastern Exalt.
Not hesitating to fight, Liu Zhenggu's attitude towards Xue Chuqing and Yan Zhaoge was most likely the opposite of that of the Eastern Exalt.
From the looks of it, the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu was a party that could be trusted and fought over.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the two parties had colluded to put on a show to win trust.
But this possibility was very low.
If the words of Li Cheng and the others were true, it would not be difficult for experts on the level of the Eastern Exalt and the Northeastern Exalt to locate Xue Chuqing.
Even innate divination wasn't omnipotent. The difference in their cultivation level was too huge, it was harder than ascending the heavens to detect the other party's movements.
It was just that peak experts of this level were mutually restraining one another. Therefore, the Eastern Exalt had only sent his disciples out to search for Xue Chuqing's whereabouts.
Now that he had personally rushed over, he was immediately intercepted by Liu Zhenggu, who was also a Paragon.
From this perspective, it also proved that the Northeast and the East were not on the same path.
Therefore, as Liu Zhenggu's gaze suddenly flickered as he appraised Yan Zhaoge's appearance in earnest, Yan Zhaoge smiled very calmly, cupping his hands towards Liu Zhenggu once more, "My mother is Xue Chuqing, known as the Snow Crane of Kunlun. Perhaps the Northeastern Exalt has seen my mother before, thus feeling that I look rather familiar."
Liu Zhenggu stared at Yan Zhaoge for a while before he suddenly laughed loudly, "Haha! Although she's still a little girl to me, it's not strange for her to have children if she gets married early. "
"I just didn't expect that the little girl from back then had already been a mother for so many years."
He wasn't flaunting his seniority. Among the Ten Supremes, Liu Zhenggu's age and seniority were on the higher side.
Let alone Xue Chuqing, even before Yan Zhaoge's Grand Master, Yuan Zhengfeng, had been born, Liu Zhenggu had already long since shaken the heavens and the earth, his name having shaken the world for who knew how many years.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, he clicked his tongue in admiration, "This old man now remembers where I heard your name before. You indeed have your unique points, not relying solely on treasures like the Extreme Yang Seal. Still, shouldn't you be over at the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I went adventuring and temporarily left the World beyond Worlds, arriving in extradimensional space. When I returned, I landed in a wound of the sky nearby."
Liu Zhenggu shook his head slowly. "If I hadn't run into you in this foreign dimension, this old man really wouldn't dare be certain that you're related to that little girl, Xue Chuqing."
He quickly looked around. "Your mother isn't here?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled bitterly, "Before I came here, she had already left. To tell you the truth, I have always been searching for my mother."
Liu Zhenggu grunted, "If she doesn't want you to find her, it would indeed be very difficult for you to do so."
Yan Zhaoge probed, "I wonder if the Northeastern Exalt knows of my mother's whereabouts? Can you tell me about it? It isn't just me. My father misses her greatly as well. "
It seemed like this Northeastern Exalt indeed found Xue Chuqing to be very pleasing to the eye as he was very amicable towards Yan Zhaoge as well.
He said rather patiently, "This old man doesn't know where she is either. At most, someone told this old man where she is. When this old man went to find her, she was unable to predict or avoid me. From what this old man knows, she frequently changes her location."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Liu Zhenggu finally sighed, "It might be that she doesn't miss you. Still, she is unable to see you. Otherwise, you would not have been able to live in peace for so many years."
"She is still unable to use divination to divine you and your father, or even those related to you."
"Some people who are looking for her are similarly proficient in divination, proficient in finding mysteries within as they specifically wait to find clues in this area."
"That lass doesn't count you. Unless those who are looking for her come into direct contact with you, it would be hard for them to know of your relationship with her."
Yan Zhaoge nodded. He had also heard of divination techniques before.
He asked, "Are there many people looking for my mother?"
The purple-crowned old man chuckled, "That's right. It isn't just those from Clear Light Locale. Many others are looking for her as well. Still, Clear Light Locale is more persistent."
After glancing at Yan Zhaoge, Liu Zhenggu smiled, "Killing so many of Clear Light Locale's disciples this time, you are really vicious and powerful."
Yan Zhaoge asked softly, "They slandered my mother for stealing a treasure. That is why they are pursuing her."
Liu Zhenggu said, "Since you have already used the word 'slandered', this old man has no need to speak further on this."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Then, may I ask the Northeastern Exalted-Why are so many people searching for my mother?"
Liu Zhenggu did not answer this time as he just said, "Ask her yourself when you see her. If she feels that she can tell you, you will naturally know."
The lofty Northeastern Exalt actually had an extremely secretive attitude towards this matter.
Even as Yan Zhaoge felt rather shocked, he also felt more interested in this matter.
Still, alarm bells also rang out in his heart.
This matter was most likely not minor.
Meanwhile, this matter might be related to Sikong Qing, Yue Baoqi and Li Cheng …
Yan Zhaoge's expression did not change as he thought, "While the Eastern Exalt has even accepted Li Cheng as his disciple, from the looks of it, even the Northeastern Exalt and the Eastern Exalt are still unaware of the relationship between junior apprentice-sister Sikong and my mother, not connecting the two sides."
The Eastern Exalt should have long since discovered the runes contained within Li Cheng. Still, he might have lacked similar people on hand.
Even if numerous runes were gathered together, it would still be hard to explain the meaning contained within them, let alone when there was only one or two of them on hand.
Since the Northeastern Exalt was unwilling to discuss the reason, Yan Zhaoge did not continue harping on this topic.
"I wonder if the Eastern Exalt was also here just now?" Yan Zhaoge asked.
Liu Zhenggu said, "That's right. Still, this old man has already persuaded him to leave."
"I have caused trouble for you, Northeastern Exalt. This Yan thanks you on behalf of my mother," Yan Zhaoge said.
Back at Golden Court Mountain, Yan Zhaoge had heard Mu Jun, Chen Zhiliang and the others mention this before.
The Northeastern Exalt and the Eastern Exalt were actually of the same lineage. Both of them could be considered to have obtained a portion of the direct lineage of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor of the Four Imperials of Daoism.
Liu Zhenggu smiled, "You don't have to worm things out of this old man. There is no harm in telling you about this."
"Your mother's lineage is of the same lineage as this old man and Clear Light Locale. Your mother's lineage was once filled with experts who were even more powerful than the other two lineages."
