From the direction they were coming from, it seemed that their target was precisely where Yan Zhaoge and Xia Guang were.
While they were still very far away, Xia Guang's hairs all stood on end as he could feel an obvious killing intent.
"They …" A thought flashed through Xia Guang's mind, but he was unable to capture it.
Yan Zhaoge said casually, "The one leading them is a late Merging Avatar Martial Saint. Such a cultivation base is definitely not aimed at me. It can only be you then."
"They are aiming at me …" Xia Guang pondered.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "You must have had a conflict with someone in the vicinity before? After that, there was a survivor who divulged your whereabouts. "
"Ah?!" Xia Guang was instantly taken aback upon hearing his words.
After regaining his wits, he appeared rather uneasy, "I …"
Yan Zhaoge patted Pan-Pan's head.
Pan-Pan let out a yawn, lazily spreading his four paws and walking towards those martial practitioners who were heading towards him.
Having left Pan-Pan to deal with, Yan Zhaoge no longer cared about him as he continued looking at Xia Guang, "So there really is?"
"Thinking of a way to treat my injuries back then, I heard that there is a Bright Origin Pavilion in this area which has a divine medicine known as the Clear Radiance Pill. I originally wanted to ask for it," Xia Guang explained, "In the end, I did not succeed."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "You clashed?"
Xia Guang nodded.
"I guess that you were able to defeat them then," Yan Zhaoge smiled.
Xia Guang was rather taken aback, "How did you know?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "You might have heard of it, but you are still not aware that the relationship between the southern Blazing Heaven Territory and the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory has already deteriorated to the extreme over the past few years."
"Your accent is clearly of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. As someone from a local power of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, it is obvious that you are from the southeast."
Hearing Yan Zhaoge's words, Xia Guang realised, "No wonder …"
"Discovering that you are from the southeast, even if there is no enmity between you, the other party might still try to capture or kill you. If they do, it will definitely not be a simple spar," Yan Zhaoge continued, "Being able to retreat unscathed, you are naturally superior to them in terms of strength."
Xia Guang pressed his lips together, "I did not intend to snatch it."
"Yes." Yan Zhaoge did not comment on this as he simply said, "You are stronger than that clan. Unable to do anything to you, they will naturally contact the other martial practitioners of the south in the vicinity, coming to surround and kill you."
Gazing at that group of martial practitioners who had been intercepted by Pan-Pan in the distance, Xia Guang gradually understood, "These people were contacted by that Bright Origin Pavilion."
Anger appeared on his face. "To think that I showed mercy before!"
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "So what? They don't know where you came from, and they may not know that you don't care about them. They don't know if you will make a comeback after you leave. You are also from the southeast, so killing you is not wrong for them. They may even get the praise of the big shots in the south. "
"If I had known this earlier …" Xia Guang was so enraged that his entire body was trembling, a baleful aura surfacing within his single eye.
Glancing at him, Yan Zhaoge said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "You do not have a deep understanding of the enmity towards the martial practitioners of the southeast here in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory. Therefore, it is understandable that you acted according to your own thoughts."
"Still, you have to know that you are already heavily injured. As soon as news of your whereabouts are leaked, there may be more than one wave of enemies who will come knocking on your door, trying to take your life while you are down."
"The first lesson I am giving you is that when you are in a worrying state, you have to be exceptionally careful, especially when you do not know who might suddenly become your enemy."
Xia Guang pursed his lips, not speaking as a fierce light flickered in his remaining left eye.
"You want to settle things with that Bright Origin Pavilion?" Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge knew what Xia Guang was thinking.
Xia Guang did not deny it as he said very candidly, "Yes."
There was no enmity between them. He did not like the strong bullying the weak.
Still, the other party had contacted other martial practitioners to surround and kill him. This had truly ignited this powder keg that was Xia Guang.
His current vexation aside from fury, he was also feeling somewhat humiliated and enraged.
Having just received Yan Zhaoge's promise that he would have a chance to enter Broad Creed Mountain, he had already caused some trouble before he had even formally entered the clan.
Now that he was close, Xia Guang could also generally determine the cultivation bases of his enemies.
The martial practitioner of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory leading them was a late Merging Avatar Martial Saint.
Apart from him, however, there were also many other experts.
They were all martial practitioners of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory who were active in the vicinity of Bright Origin Pavilion in the vicinity of the Endless Mountains.
The one leading them was an Elder of a major power here.
With such a group of people pursuing the heavily injured Xia Guang, if they surrounded and attacked him, he would really be unable to withstand them. Even if he wanted to escape, his chances of survival would be slim.
With Yan Zhaoge's group by his side now, safety was naturally not an issue. Still, Xia Guang felt rather humiliated and frustrated.
Encountering a great calamity and being at the lowest stage of his life, other than taking revenge for his family which was the highest goal of his life which completely surpassed his personal pride, this was when Xia Guang's pride was at its strongest and also when he felt the most inferior.
In the distance, Pan-Pan sufficiently proved that Xia Guang's earlier guess had been right.
As Yan Zhaoge's steed, he took care of that group of southern Blazing Heaven Territory martial practitioners in just a few moves, easily doing so as though he had plucked a few bamboo leaves from a bamboo branch and tossed them into his mouth.
Xia Guang stared blankly at this as those southern Blazing Heaven Territory martial practitioners were left completely dazed.
Pan-Pan had left one alive, bringing him back for interrogation. He had indeed received news from Bright Origin Pavilion and had come for Xia Guang.
Also, it was not just this group of people who had been pursuing him. Instead, they had been split into several groups, searching in different directions.
Their group had just happened to find Xia Guang's tracks, thus pursuing him all the way.
"Master Yan … Young Master Yan, please wait for a while. I will be back soon," Xia Guang grit his teeth, wanting to turn back.
Yan Zhaoge waved his hands, "Didn't you hear him? There is more than one group like them, all of them searching in different directions. If you return to Bright Origin Pavilion now, it would be fine if everything goes smoothly. Still, if you meet other people who are pursuing you on the way, wouldn't you be a lamb walking into a tiger's den? "
"You have yet to avenge your great enmity. Could it be that you are willing to take the risk of dying together with those of Bright Origin Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Xia Guang immediately halted.
Yan Zhaoge glanced at him, "The second lesson, anger is often a powerful force. We do not have to resist or reject this force. Instead, we have to make use of it. Still, the prerequisite is that you do not let your anger get to your head. That would only cause you to die faster."
If he had been lectured like this by others, even if their words were reasonable, Xia Guang might not have been able to listen to them.
Still, he gradually calmed down now.
He was naturally not in the position to force Yan Zhaoge to bring him back to Bright Origin Pavilion to settle things with them.
"They got off too easy," Xia Guang said hatefully.
Yan Zhaoge casually killed that captive southern Blazing Heaven Territory martial practitioner with a single palm, "Since you have thoughts of searching for your kin, we should first return to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory as soon as possible."
Xia Guang's spirits rose, "How do we return?"
He knew now that this southern Blazing Heaven Territory was filled with enemies for him and Yan Zhaoge who hailed from the southeast.
