Three Foot Mountain's Chief included, a great number of Three Foot Mountain's peak experts had been slain by Yan Zhaoge.
The two ultimate treasures of the sect, the soul flag that contained the remnant soul of the Golden Crow and the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Golden Crow Incinerating Heaven Sabre, had both fallen into Yan Zhaoge's hands.
Three Foot Mountain's vitality had been greatly damaged, and its strength had fallen greatly. This was a foregone conclusion.
However, as the saying goes, a centipede dies but doesn't fall down. Three Foot Mountain still has many experts alive.
This time, the experts who entered the Daoist temple's abode were completely wiped out, and Three Foot Mountain no longer had the power and influence it once had when it rampaged through the Green Peak Plateau.
But even so, in the Green Peak Plateau or the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range, Three Foot Mountain was still one of the few famous sects.
To Xia Guang, it was still a massive entity.
The Three Foot Mountain martial practitioners who had annihilated the Xia Family were actually this batch of people who had entered the abode of the Daoist temple.
While it was not Xia Guang who had personally taken revenge, as that final Three Foot Mountain Elder's head fell to the ground before Xia Guang, those who had killed him back then could be said to be all but dead.
However, the rage in his remaining eye did not diminish in the slightest.
Staring savagely at the Golden Crow Incinerating Heaven Sabre and soul flag that Yan Zhaoge had taken out, Xia Guang said one word at a time, "Their Three Foot Mountain annihilated my entire lineage, not leaving a single survivor aside from me on Listening Thunder Peak that day. When I have some accomplishments in my martial cultivation in the future, I will definitely exterminate their Three Foot Mountain as well!"
"Between my Xia Clan and his Three Foot Mountain, this matter will only come to an end when one side is exterminated!"
Yan Zhaoge did not comment on this, "Oh? Are you that determined? "
Xia Guang nodded vigorously.
However, looking at Yan Zhaoge, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Right now, he was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect himself. In front of others, he solemnly vowed that he would fight to the death with a famous sect. It seemed a bit ridiculous.
In particular, the person in front of him was the benefactor who had helped him kill many of his enemies.
"I know that it is very difficult," Xia Guang calmed greatly, but his tone was even more resolute, "Still, I will definitely not give up."
"One hundred and twenty-seven members of my Xia Family have died in the hands of Three Foot Mountain. I want at least one hundred and twenty-seven members of Three Foot Mountain to pay with their lives!"
Looking at Xia Guang's resolute and brutal face from the side, Ah Hu thought, "With his temperament, he definitely wouldn't be intending to pick on the weaker ones. It would be impossible for him to randomly find some young disciples of Three Foot Mountain with low cultivation bases to make up the numbers."
If Xia Guang wanted to kill, he would definitely target the higher echelon experts of Three Foot Mountain.
To him, annihilating the entire Three Foot Mountain was his greatest wish.
Ah Hu was very calm about this. Exterminating an entire clan might seem cruel to ordinary people, but in the world of martial arts, it was very common.
"Momentary bravery is not true courage, and ignorant bravery is also not true fearlessness," Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Three Foot Mountain is also not as simple as you think it to be."
"Even if you have the ability to defeat the combined forces of everyone from Three Foot Mountain, it doesn't mean that you can really destroy Three Foot Mountain."
Smiling, Yan Zhaoge said, "With you having destroyed Three Foot Mountain, you have completely avenged yourself. Still, things might not end just like that."
Hearing his words, Xia Guang was rather at a loss, "Mister … Mister Yan …"
"How much do you know about Three Foot Mountain?" Yan Zhaoge asked.
Looking at the Golden Crow Incinerating Heaven Sabre and the soul flag before him, Xia Guang said rather awkwardly, "I only know that they are located in the Green Peak High Plains and that they have more than one Immortal Bridge Martial Saint expert as well as a high-grade Sacred Artifact. The martial arts they cultivate in are the profundities of the Great Sun and the Three Footed Golden Crow."
While he had an irascible and straightforward personality, he was not really a fool as he reacted somewhat upon hearing Yan Zhaoge's words, "Mister Yan, you mean that Three Foot Mountain has even more powerful experts backing them?"
"You are right. Three Foot Mountain indeed comprehends the profundities of the Great Sun, their direct lineage supreme martial art known as the Golden Crow Incinerating World Scripture." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Still, the Golden Crow Incinerating World Scripture of pre-Great Calamity times that the founder of Three Foot Mountain obtained was only an incomplete one."
"Therefore, while Three Foot Mountain possessed extraordinary strength a hundred years ago, it was far from being able to dominate the Green Peak High Plains with its tyrannical might today."
"In Three Foot Mountain's current glory, besides the diligent efforts of its past experts, a very important factor was that someone helped them complete the originally incomplete Golden Crow Incinerating World Scripture."
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "The complete Golden Crow Incinerating World Scripture is still rather extraordinary."
Xia Guang already understood completely, "That person who helped them complete their martial legacy is their backer?"
"Who is it? Is it the Southeastern Exalt? "
Yan Zhaoge looked rather interestedly at Xia Guang.
The peak expert that Xia Guang was most familiar with was clearly the lord of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie.
Still, while he asked this, there was no fear on Xia Guang's face.
While his expression was even more solemn, his remaining left eye was resolute as no fear or wavering could be seen within.
"It is not the Southeastern Exalt." Yan Zhaoge shook his head, pausing for a moment before smiling, "Someone even more powerful than the Southeastern Exalt."
As he said this, Yan Zhaoge extended a finger, pointing upwards.
Xia Guang was taken aback, "Upper … Upper Exalt?"
"That's right," Yan Zhaoge said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "Strongest of the Ten Territories, number one Exalt."
The martial practitioners of the World beyond Worlds were used to referring to the peak existences as Three Sovereigns Five Emperors, Exalts of Ten Territories.
There was no need to mention the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. As for the Ten Exalts, they were the Upper, Lower, and Eight Directions.
Among them, the top and bottom were superior to the eight directions.
There was no need to mention the Earth Exalt, Wang Zhengcheng, below.
The ruler of the central Jun Heaven Territory, the head of the Three Sovereigns, the Earthly Sovereign's direct disciple, had already attained the cultivation of a Human Exalt several thousand years ago.
It was publicly acknowledged that if not for his severe injuries, he would have already pushed open the Immortal Gate and become an Emperor.
Yet, even such a long-time Human Exalt of the World beyond Worlds admitted that he was still inferior to someone amongst the Martial Saints of the World beyond Worlds.
His title of Earth Exalt was not because he was the disciple of the Earthly Sovereign, but because he was a disciple of the Earthly Sovereign.
Instead, it was because he could not become the Upper Exalt!
There was someone stronger than him!
He was the publicly acknowledged number one Martial Saint of the current World beyond Worlds.
He was far younger than the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, younger than the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie and the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen, younger than all the other Human Exalts, even much younger than many other martial practitioners whose cultivation bases were inferior to his.
He was ridiculously young.
Even now, he was merely a hundred years old.
Compared to the lifespans of Human Exalts, he was so young that he resembled a youth or even a child.
He was publicly acknowledged as the person closest to True Immortality in the current World beyond Worlds.
"The Little Sword God two hundred years ago, the Heavenly Young Master a hundred years ago," Yan Zhaoge said smilingly, "Amongst them, the 'Heavenly Young Master' refers to him."
"The Heavenly Young Master of that year, the current Upper Exalt. He was the one who helped Three Foot Mountain restore the Golden Crow Incinerating World Scripture that year."
