Could Xue Chuqing have infiltrated the lands of the Immortal Court?
Theoretically speaking, no.
This was because breaking through the 'wall' that separated them from the World beyond Worlds and coming to the side of the Immortal Court would not be an easy thing.
Yan Zhaoge had mistakenly entered the world of Buddhism previously due to the abnormalities of the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
This time, he had mistakenly entered the Lofty Towering World of the Immortal Court's Loathing Square Immortal Realm because of the clash between the Immortal Artifact Mars Halberd and the restrictions left behind by the Brocade Emperor.
While Yan Zhaoge was unclear on his mother's current cultivation base, it was doubtful that she had ascended the Immortal Bridge from what he already knew.
Logically speaking, Xue Chuqing should not have been able to come here without some external help.
First, however, a peak bigwig expert might have helped Xue Chuqing 'sneak in'.
Second, Xue Chuqing often performed unexpectedly. Perhaps she had some special methods?
Yan Zhaoge pondered, "If it really was my mother, she would definitely have kept a low profile here as she would not have taken the initiative to provoke those of the Immortal Court."
"From the looks of it, digging a hole in the relic site and screwing over the Chaotic Heavenly Sect doesn't seem like something she would do."
"Unless …" The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth twitched slightly, "Sensing that her tracks were about to be exposed again, she fled once more, digging a hole before leaving as a memento for her enemies."
As he thought this, Yan Zhaoge said to Fu Ting, "I want to investigate this Lofty Towering World as well as the other worlds of the Loathing Square Immortal Realm."
Fu Ting immediately understood, "You want to investigate whether there are disciples of the Three Purities like us here?"
Yan Zhaoge answered without batting an eyelid, "Precisely so. If there really is, I might as well lend a hand."
"The other party should be more familiar with this place than we are. If we can establish contact with them, it would be beneficial for us to leave the territory of the Immortal Court and return to the World beyond Worlds."
"Still, there may be peak experts of the Immortal Court guarding over this place. Therefore, it is very dangerous. I can also go alone, coming back to find you later."
Yan Zhaoge said, "I have no intention of underestimating you. If we act separately, we can avoid being caught in one fell swoop."
Fu Ting pondered for a moment before shaking her head, "We are unfamiliar with this place. We are also very different from martial practitioners of the Immortal Court, and there are many language barriers as well. We might as well advance and retreat together and look after one another."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Let's set off from here then."
As he spoke, a black light appeared in his palm. It was ever-changing, elusive, and formless.
With a single palm strike, several Chaotic Heavenly Sect martial artists lost their lives.
Yang Chong and the others were greatly shocked, but Fu Ting's expression was as per usual, "It is indeed a supreme art recorded within the Faceless Demon Scripture. I had not thought that Young Master Yan would actually be proficient in this long-lost demonic art."
She appraised Yan Zhaoge all over, "Your Broad Creed Mountain's lineage seems to be a branch legacy of my Grand Clear lineage, also like it has obtained the orthodox lineage of the Jade Clear direct lineage. Yet, looking at you now, you actually even know a peak devilish martial art like the Faceless Devilish Scripture. I really can't see through you at all."
Yan Zhaoge acted as though nothing had happened as he replied with a question instead, "Coincidentally, I obtained a fortuitous encounter in the outside world. I have let Miss Fu see a joke. Never would I have thought that Miss Fu would recognise the Faceless Devil Scripture. From what I know, this martial art should have been lost in the World beyond Worlds long ago."
Fu Ting said, "Because of my father, I do indeed know some secrets, such as the existence of Buddhism."
"Buddha light is very troublesome. If Buddhist martial practitioners are killed, their seniors will learn of it within an extremely short period of time, and they might even directly descend."
"There are rather limited martial arts that can counter such methods. Amongst them, there just happens to be the Faceless Devil Scripture. I have naturally never seen it before, but my father once spoke of the scenes when cultivators unleash a devilish art."
"This treasured light of the Immortal Court's lineage looks similar to Buddha light."
Fu Ting glanced at Yan Zhaoge, "Still, forgive me for being blunt, Young Master Yan, but this supreme martial art …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It can bewitch one's mind, even leading one to fall to the dark side and sink into the Nine Underworlds."
"I know. That is why I never cultivated in it when I first obtained it. It is just that when I inadvertently entered the world of Buddhism previously, I also discovered how troublesome Buddha light is. Therefore, I cultivated in it to defend myself. Still, it is only a method to counter Buddha light, not causing it to shake its foundations."
As the two conversed with composed expressions, of the Chaotic Heavenly Sect martial practitioners, only Yang Chong and Quan Haolong remained.
After his initial shock, Yang Chong instead calmed down, sighing and shaking his head, "If the two of you wanted to silence us, why did you have to leave me and junior apprentice-nephew Quan behind?"
Yan Zhaoge answered nonchalantly, "Up to my mood."
Yang Chong instantly smiled bitterly.
Quan Haolong calmed down now as well, saying hatefully, "While I feel pained that senior apprentice-uncle Yang was bewitched by you of the external dao, this does not mean that I will submit to you!"
Yan Zhaoge said in a composed tone, "So what? If I let you go, I would have slain all your fellow disciples, with you being the sole survivor. After you return, how would others think of you? "
Quan Haolong was shocked.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It is also very easy for you to understand, right? The stability of the treasured light within your body shows that you are still devout towards the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. "
"Still, other than this, you are no different from us. We are all people with emotions and desires."
"After this incident, if those of your lineage who are at odds with you and don't like you don't throw stones at you when you're down, that would really be strange."
"Evil devils and the external dao must be eradicated. This is a major principle. Still, aside from this principle, there is boundless joy in fighting others, isn't there?"
Quan Haolong opened his mouth, not uttering a sound in the end as only a bitter smile remained on his face.
How could he not understand this principle?
Exchanging glances with him, Yang Chong sighed in unison.
Quan Haolong shook his head, "Anyway, I will not join your external dao."
Saying thus, he closed his eyes and fell silent.
Looking first at Quan Haolong and then at Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting, Yang Chong finally fell silent as well.
Yan Zhaoge, however, did not mind this. He was indeed up to his mood. If he wanted to leave Yang Chong and Quan Haolong alive, he would do so.
Having already known the location of that legacy site, he immediately hurried over with Fu Ting.
With the legacy site already having been destroyed, Yan Zhaoge did not intend to waste time there.
The target he chose was the vicinity of the legacy site, where ordinary commoners lived.
His mother's cultivation was not weak, but her body did not have the treasure light imbued with the power of faith. If she were to move around openly, she would be easily discovered by the descendants of the Immortal Court.
After concealing her cultivation, she had two choices.
Otherwise, he would hide alone in the deep mountains and forests, living in isolation and not coming into contact with anyone.
Another option was to mix in with ordinary people. Although these people also had treasure light in their bodies, it was far weaker than that of martial arts experts. At the same time, ordinary people could not see each other's treasure light.
As long as he avoided contact with the martial artists of the Immortal Court and disguised his words and actions, he could still hide his identity.
Of course, the prerequisite was that there was no large-scale search and no powerful martial artists who had received the news and come looking for him.
Under such circumstances, Xue Chuqing would not leave any clues behind.
However, Yan Zhaoge vaguely knew what was going on.
With his current cultivation, eyesight, and perception, he was almost transparent to the commoners.
One by one, he quickly scanned the area.
After having consecutively visited over a dozen towns and cities, Yan Zhaoge's eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued …) u
