Grabbing that Three Foot Mountain Elder, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "This is the orphan of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Consecutive Drum Mountain Range's Listening Thunder Peak's Xia Family?"
The man's face was ashen as he nodded numbly.
"Keeping him, just for that special Thunderbolt Blood of his?" Yan Zhaoge asked, "Logically speaking, such an outstanding talent shouldn't be unknown and unknown."
The influence of the Listening Thunder Peak's Xia Clan had not reached the stage where they could hide their geniuses in order to shock the world with a single brilliant feat.
What they should do was to build a solid foundation, gain fame, form alliances, or seek a backer.
The elder of Three Foot Mountain said disinterestedly, "This little thief was living in seclusion in a side courtyard at the time. He was even protected by a formation that was no different from imprisonment. If we had not flattened the Xia clan's mansion, we would not have discovered him."
"After discovering it, you captured it alive?" Yan Zhaoge laughed, "It's no wonder. The physique of the Thunderbolt Blood might not be highly valued by you all, and it would be even more impossible for you all to accept this person as your disciple."
"But to you, the Great Sun Glorious Heaven Thunder is still very attractive, right?"
This Three Foot Mountain Elder looked rather surprisedly at Yan Zhaoge, "You …"
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "Me what?"
The other party came back to his senses. His face turned ashen again, and he didn't say anything else.
The Great Sun Glorious Heaven Thunder was ranked eighth among the Nine Heavenly Thunder.
Lightning was an existence of extreme Yang in the world.
As for the Great Sun Brilliant Heaven Thunder, it was the Yang within the Yang. In the process of Yin and Yang transformation, it was the concept of extreme Yang between Yin and Yang.
On the other hand, there was the Desolate Yin Lightning that was ranked seventh among the Nine Heavenly Lightning. It contained the power of extreme Yin within the lightning of extreme Yang.
It was said in pre-Great Calamity times that those who possessed the thunderbolt blood were beneficial in controlling the Great Sun Glorious Heaven Thunder.
This was not a guess, but something that had been verified.
Three Foot Mountain's martial arts did not involve thunder arts, but they valued the extreme yang, heat, and hardness of the Great Sun Glorious Heaven Thunder.
This was the reason why he had spared Xia Guang's life.
Although the Great Sun Brilliant Heaven Thunder was nowhere to be seen, it was better to be prepared, right?
This piece of news was extremely unpopular, and few people knew about it. Three Foot Mountain's legacy didn't have it, but that bigwig expert who had helped them complete the Golden Crow World Incinerating Scripture had inadvertently mentioned it. Ever since then, it had been remembered by everyone in Three Foot Mountain.
That was why this Three Foot Mountain elder was rather surprised earlier.
It was not surprising that Yan Zhaoge knew of the existence of the Great Sun Glorious Heaven Thunder.
However, there were very few people who knew the relationship between the Great Sun Glorious Heaven Thunder and the Thunderbolt Blood.
As a result, this Three Foot Mountain Elder could not help but guess, could Yan Zhaoge really be related to that legendary Exalted Solar Luminary?
Yan Zhaoge paid no heed to his doubts. What he was more interested in was that Three Foot Mountain was also so clear about this obscure knowledge.
While they had obtained legacies from before the Great Calamity, the Golden Crow World Incinerating Scripture that their founder had obtained was incomplete.
It should have been someone else who told him about such an obscure piece of information.
Yan Zhaoge could not help but feel increasingly curious about that existence behind Three Foot Mountain at this moment.
As he pondered, his gaze remained on Xia Guang on the ground.
"Young Master, are we not going down now?" Ah Hu asked curiously. Yan Zhaoge shook his head, looking rather interestedly at Xia Guang, "No rush. Let's first see what he intends to do next."
Xia Guang first tore off his clothes, simply bandaging his wounds before sitting down to meditate and circulate his qi.
"My injuries are very serious. While my external injuries are serious, my internal injuries are even more so," Xia Guang felt rather troubled after circulating his qi.
The area with the most serious injuries was naturally his right eye which was already completely disabled and blind.
From now onward, he could only be a one-eyed man.
Thinking of this, Xia Guang was infuriated once more as he wished that he could immediately storm Three Foot Mountain and slay all his enemies.
As compared to losing his sight in one eye, his internal injuries were even more serious as they had all been left behind in his battle with that Three Foot Mountain Elder earlier.
Wielding the Blood Thunderbolt Ritual had already depleted his vitality in the first place. Also, he had fought with his life on the line, only attacking and not defending at all as he had completely disregarded his own body. Thus, his injuries were naturally not light.
As a result, he was currently injured all over, feeling weak and powerless all over just the slightest movement.
"I should heal my injuries first. My vitality is currently depleted and my body is weak. If I do not heal my injuries soon, my foundation will probably be damaged for good. Let alone raising my strength, I might even fall back to the Martial Grandmaster realm."
Xia Guang was not someone who was good at long-term planning. He could only plan his future path simply.
He would first try to heal his injuries before searching for his remaining kin, his brothers and sisters who had gone out when his family had been decimated. Then, he would think of a way to take revenge for them.
Thinking of his deceased family members, Xia Guang could not help but feel sorrowful.
He possessed the thunderbolt blood and was also extremely talented in the martial dao.
The family had originally placed high hopes on him, not even intending for him to inherit their martial arts as they had instead tried to enter a major sect.
At that time, the Listening Thunder Peak's Xia Family had been attached to a major power of the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range as they relied on it.
Sadly, Xia Guang's temper was irritable and unyielding as he had already caused a great disaster before even entering the sect, leaving the matter unresolved.
Not just that, in order to avoid this disaster, the Xia Family announced that he had died young.
A peerless genius had already vanished from the eyes of the outside world before he could even display his brilliance.
From then on, Xia Guang found it hard to leave the clan as he remained at home, which was akin to being placed under house arrest.
In the past, Xia Guang had been dissatisfied with this as well. Still, thinking about it now, he felt that this was also a form of protection from his family.
His mother's earnest and well-meaning advice and his father's exasperation towards him for failing to live up to his expectations actually became the deepest memories in his heart at this moment. Thinking of this, he could not help but shed tears.
"What are you crying for? What use is there in crying? " After crying for a while, Xia Guang suddenly slapped himself twice, "Can crying avenge everyone?"
Wiping his face, he pulled himself together and barely managed to stand up from the ground.
"Where exactly am I now?" Xia Guang looked around rather blankly.
Finally, he randomly chose a direction and walked in that direction, looking for a place where there were signs of human habitation.
When he learnt that he was in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, Xia Guang could not help but be rather stunned.
He pondered for a moment, deciding that he should first consider the problem of his own injuries.
Injuries like his were not something that ordinary doctors could treat.
Only martial practitioners who were proficient in alchemy and medicine would be able to think of a way.
While Xia Guang was well-versed in his family and was also a Martial Saint himself, he knew very little about alchemy.
There was an old saying that medicine and martial arts were inseparable. The higher the cultivation base of a martial practitioner, the more precise their grasp of the human body would be.
Still, there was still a great difference between the two at the end of the day.
First not speaking of the fact that Xia Guang did not have a pill furnace on hand, even if he did, he would still be able to try refining some ordinary pills. However, refining a pill to treat his current severe injuries was something that he would not be able to do.
Perhaps it should be said that he was lucky. Not far away from him in the Endless Mountain Range of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, there just happened to be a martial sect known as Bright Origin Pavilion.
While the Pavilion Lord's attainments in the martial arts could not be considered especially outstanding in this Endless Mountain Range, he was rather skilled in alchemy.
It was rumoured that Bright Origin Pavilion possessed a healing spirit medicine, the Clear Radiance Pill, that was miraculously effective in treating qi and blood and internal injuries.
After asking for directions, Xia Guang headed for Bright Origin Pavilion, attempting to ask for the medicine.
