Within the crowd, Ye Jing stared at Yan Zhaoge.
"One day, I will defeat you. At that time, I want to see if you can still maintain that lofty, arrogant face of yours …"
Other than old grudges, the current Ye Jing, facing Yan Zhaoge, felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
There was a slight appreciation, but more of awkwardness and loathing.
It was as if they were born to be enemies, making him subconsciously feel suppressed, which made him feel unhappy.
"Rather, the seed of Li Yan True Fire that he mentioned in the Assignment Hall is also of great use to me." Ye Jing thought, "If it fell into his hands and I went to ask him for it, it would be too humiliating …"
As Ye Jing was thinking, his eyes suddenly widened.
Sikong Qing and the others also discovered that something was wrong. At this moment, Yan Zhaoge was actually inhaling and exhaling the black fog that everyone else avoided!
In their eyes, this action was simply like taking poison to commit suicide!
Yan Zhaoge didn't care about what others thought. Looking within his own body, he could see chaotic streams of aura-qi gathering under the control of his secret technique, as if forming a grinding wheel, which then rotated unceasingly under the surging aura-qi.
In the process of rotation, the aura-qi within Yan Zhaoge's body was sharpened by this grinding wheel, vaguely showing signs of breaking through his body!
"Very good. Compared to normal cultivation, the efficiency has increased by more than three to five times. Although it is only suitable for the current stage of internal aura transforming into external aura, it can still save me a lot of time. The outer aura Martial Scholar realm is just around the corner."
Yan Zhaoge nodded in satisfaction. Having temporarily completed his cultivation, he stopped. Opening his eyes, he saw that everyone was looking at him with shock and confusion.
"Not walking the normal path, it's so easy to attract attention …" Yan Zhaoge grinned, thinking, "This brother's flashy life really doesn't need to be explained."
A young disciple's eyes flashed with understanding, "The changes in the Sealing Dragon Abyss, the black fog is even more turbulent than before. It's strange and unpredictable."
"Senior apprentice-brother Yan is absorbing the fog into his body to use this kind of method to carefully analyze it? It's just that this is really too risky. "
Yan Zhaoge was slightly stunned. Towards the imagination of the masses, he was momentarily speechless.
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded in unison, "So that's how it is."
Ye Jing was still somewhat puzzled, his fingers subconsciously rubbing his dark red ring.
Seeing his expression, Yan Zhaoge, unnoticed by the others, quickly rolled his eyes, "There really was a ring …"
For Ye Jing to be able to rise up so quickly and raise his cultivation base at such a rapid pace, he also had some fortuitous encounters and secret techniques. Perhaps he was still not clear on Yan Zhaoge's technique, but putting himself in the shoes of others, he could not help but make some connections.
However, Yan Zhaoge did not take this to heart.
Towards this, the others all sighed in admiration, "Even a Martial Scholar expert whose cultivation is higher than senior apprentice-brother Yan's might not dare to directly breathe out the black fog like this, right?"
To them, that black fog that could claim their lives at any moment seemed to be of no importance at all to Yan Zhaoge.
"Anyway, don't imitate it rashly. Otherwise, opening the door to a thief would be inviting a wolf into the house, and there would be danger," Yan Zhaoge stood up, dusted off his clothes, and strode off first, the others hurriedly following.
Now, a tall figure sped over from behind, catching up to Yan Zhaoge's group. It was precisely Ah Hu.
Yan Zhaoge did not stop, continuing to walk neither fast nor slow. Ah Hu came to his side, and sent a sound transmission, "Young master, there's news."
"It's still unconfirmed, but there's a rumor that after the new disciple competition, that Ye Jing caught Elder Shi's eye."
Hearing this, Yan Zhaoge turned his head to look at Ah Hu.
Ah Hu nodded, "It's rumored that Elder Shi rather appreciates his experience of constantly improving himself, as well as his tenacious and indomitable character. He's prepared to observe him for a period of time, and has the intention of accepting him as a direct disciple."
Yan Zhaoge sneered, "No wonder …"
This Elder was not the same as the previous Elder. This Elder Shi, compared to the previous Elder Cui, and even the Principal Elder overseeing the Eastern Tang Kingdom, were all on a completely different level.
Elder Cui was only an Acting Elder, the kind that had only risen through the years.
Above the Principal Elder of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, there was also the East Elder, who intimidated the entire East Heaven Region.
Elder Shi was the First Seat Elder of the Disciplinary Hall of the Broad Creed Mountain, and was in charge of all the rules and regulations of the Broad Creed Mountain, as well as punishment. His rank was similar to that of the East Elder, but his authority was greater, and his strength was greater.
He was Yan Zhaoge's eldest apprentice-uncle, and was the eldest direct disciple of the current Broad Creed Mountain Clan Chief.
This person was upright, and admitted that his abilities were inferior to Yan Zhaoge's father and second apprentice-uncle. Therefore, he had long since announced that he would withdraw from the competition for the next Clan Chief, and was willing to assist the new Clan Chief, putting the development of the Broad Creed Mountain as the most important thing.
Actually, even if this Elder Shi was inferior to his two junior apprentice-brothers, he was not far off. Moreover, he was a veteran Martial Grandmaster, one of Broad Creed Mountain's few peak experts, and his fame spread far and wide throughout the entire Eight Extremities World.
Although he did not participate in the competition for the next Clan Chief, his words held great weight, and even the current Clan Chief valued the opinion of this eldest disciple.
No matter who the new Clan Chief was, he would almost always continue to sit stably on the First Seat Elder position of the Disciplinary Hall, and would become a supreme figure of the Broad Creed Mountain Clan.
Currently, between Yan Zhaoge's father and second apprentice-uncle, this eldest apprentice-uncle was temporarily neutral.
With his temperament, if Ye Jing were to be killed by Yan Zhaoge due to jealousy, one could only imagine what kind of reaction Elder Shi would have.
Even if there was no evidence, just a suspicion, it could still affect the other's perception.
Ah Hu continued, "This matter, that Ye Jing himself should still not know. Elder Shi is of the mind to observe him for a period of time."
He glanced at Yan Zhaoge, and said somewhat painfully, "Young master, this time I'm afraid you really will have to take care of this Ye Jing. Otherwise, if you let him die in the Sealing Dragon Abyss, even if you didn't do it, you would still have to bear the blame."
Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, and thought to himself, "Come on, with the halo of a main character, how could someone die so easily?"
"After I enter the Sealing Dragon Abyss, you will be responsible for the internal and external communications. You will have to work a bit harder, run a bit more." Yan Zhaoge waved his hand without a care, and Ah Hu hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The group of people traversed through the Sealing Dragon Abyss, and very quickly reached the end of the path carved out by the smoke of the green lanterns.
Yan Zhaoge stopped, took out a measuring device, and lit a green candle. Using the candle's flame, he stepped into the thick black fog before him. The others also did the same, cautiously following behind Yan Zhaoge.
Having broken free from the suppressive seal, the surrounding black fog immediately became even more turbulent and rampant, like a raging storm, attacking everyone.
If not for Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu standing at the front, even if the others had candles, it would still be difficult for them to stay for long.
"As expected, the chaotic streams of baleful qi have become much denser, and the flow rate is also much faster than before. Obviously, it has been disturbed for some reason." Yan Zhaoge looked around, his gaze piercing through the thick black fog.
Even with Yan Zhaoge's eyesight, he could only clearly see things that were close by.
A faint red light flashed by, like lightning in the night sky. This was a phenomenon that had never appeared in the Sealing Dragon Abyss before.
Without needing Yan Zhaoge's instructions, Ah Hu extended his palm, grabbing the air.
After withdrawing his palm, a red mark could be seen in the middle of his palm, faintly glowing in the darkness. Like a living creature, it constantly wriggled, as if it wanted to drill into his flesh.
