Before this, the Heaven Emperor and the Southern Exalt had merely been acquaintances.
In recent years, however, due to having a common enemy, the two sides had become closer.
It was not just the Heaven Emperor and the Southern Exalt himself. The disciples of both sides had become closer as well.
Those of Wutong Slope had also indirectly inquired about why the Heaven Emperor and the Southeastern Exalt had become enemies.
The reason for this was not very convincing.
It was said that because someone of the southeast had foiled the Heaven Emperor's plans, the Heaven Emperor had acted in revenge.
After completely crippling the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation in the Royal Reed Sea, the matter of the Heaven Emperor searching for the deity of the Earth Queen also spread.
The entire World beyond Worlds was discussing this in private.
The Heaven Emperor seemed to have been rather enraged as he bore a grudge against Golden Court Mountain and Broad Creed Mountain.
It was just that if he really did not wish for this matter to be known, it seemed very unusual for him to be taking revenge in such a high profile manner now.
What was especially noteworthy was that the other bigwigs of the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and Exalts of Ten Territories had not expressed their stance on this.
Even the Brocade Emperor who had assisted the Southeastern Exalt had not mentioned the matter of the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation out of personal friendship.

While those of Wutong Slope had their doubts, the enemy of an enemy was clearly a friend.
First, this Daoist Leading Mist was an expert of the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm. He was also a personal disciple of the Heaven Emperor.
First not speaking of the fact that this Daoist Leading Mist himself was an expert of the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm, he was also a personal disciple of the Heaven Emperor.
Unlike King Xuanwen, Shen Lingzi, Daoist Shi and the others who had listened to the Heaven Emperor's teachings and worked for him, few people knew of their relationship with the Heaven Emperor.
The Heaven Emperor had very few personal disciples. Correspondingly, all of them were outstanding and outstanding, all of them having made a great name for themselves in the World beyond Worlds.

"Greetings to the Blazing King." That skinny man in Daoist robes boarded the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, first bowing before saying, "This humble Daoist was originally heading to Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope to discuss something with your lineage."
"Still, halfway there, I heard that things have not been peaceful in the south recently."
Peng He was unmoved when he heard this, "It's just a few clowns causing a ruckus, Fellow Daoist Leading Mist must have seen a joke. To tell the truth, this old man is about to go and deal with it."
Seeing this, Daoist Leading Mist did not bother with pleasantries, "I heard that it's that Yan Zhaoge from a lower world?"
"That's him." Peng He did not mention the matter of Zhuang Chaohui and the others, "He may have directly returned to the World beyond Worlds from extradimensional space, yet ended up in the lands of our southern Blazing Heaven Territory. He can count himself unlucky. He won't be able to leave this time."
Daoist Leading Mist pondered for a moment. "This humble Daoist heard that he appears in the Endless Mountains."
"That's right." Peng He nodded.
"If it's the Endless Mountains, they are in the northern part of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory. If we continue north and pass through the Marsh of Thousand Lakes, we will reach the central Jun Heaven Territory," Daoist Leading Mist said.
Peng He's eyes darkened when he heard this.
This was what he was most worried about.
While it was rumoured that Yan Zhaoge possessed an Immortal Artifact, while the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm, Guan Lide, had perished at Broad Creed Mountain, while Yan Zhaoge's strength had likely surpassed all predictions …
Still, these were not problems that Peng He was worried about.
This was the basic self-confidence and self-esteem of a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint who had dominated the World beyond Worlds for many years as a direct lineage descendant of Wutong Slope.
Peng He did not fear clashing with Yan Zhaoge.
Still, as Daoist Leading Mist had said, the Endless Mountain Range was already in the northern part of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory. If he headed north, he would very quickly be able to leave the southern Blazing Heaven Territory and arrive in the central Jun Heaven Territory.
In the eyes of all the martial practitioners of the south, there was only one way for Yan Zhaoge to safely flee the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
That was to first head north and arrive in the central Jun Heaven Territory before changing directions and returning to the southeast.
Having arrived in the central Jun Heaven Territory, Peng He and the others would not be able to act as they wished.
It was not that martial practitioners of the south could not go to the central Jun Heaven Territory. Still, it would definitely not be as convenient as it would be in their own territory.
This was especially so when Yan Zhaoge did not lack connections in the central Jun Heaven Territory.
It was rumoured that he was on rather friendly terms with Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff.
If Ingenious Flying Peak received the news and came to Yan Zhaoge's aid, it would inevitably be much more difficult for Peng He and the others to make a move against him.
The Heaven Emperor could clash head-on with the Brocade Emperor and the Southern Exalt could clash head-on with the Southeastern Exalt. Still, the Southern Exalt would definitely not clash head-on with the Brocade Emperor unless he had no other choice.
Thinking like this, Peng He looked at Daoist Leading Mist, "Letting that scum escape into the central Jun Heaven Territory would naturally be detrimental to our pursuit. Sadly, our lineage has no experts active in the Region of Thousand Lakes. I fear that the local sects will not be able to stop him."
"I have to admit that while that scum is detestable, his martial arts are indeed very tough. Even though the Endless Mountain Range also has Immortal Bridge Martial Saints, they can only watch as he rambles about unhindered."
Hearing Peng He's words, Daoist Leading Mist nodded, "This humble Daoist's eldest apprentice-brother is currently not far from the Region of Thousand Lakes. If your lineage does not mind, this humble Daoist can contact him and invite him to hurry over to the Region of Thousand Lakes, blocking that Yan Zhaoge's path to the north and preventing him from escaping into the central Jun Heaven Territory."
"Qing Shuzi, is it?" Peng He's eyes lit up, "That would be good. Still, I fear that he might not make it in time."
Daoist Leading Mist retrieved a bamboo flute, saying, "It is fine. This humble Daoist will be able to contact eldest apprentice-brother with this treasure. He will immediately receive the news. If he immediately sets off, he should still be able to make it in time."
This bamboo flute was a unique treasure, a consumable one that Daoist Leading Mist did not have much left over.
Still, in order to obstruct Yan Zhaoge who was ruining his Master's plans now, he would not be stingy with it.
"Fellow Daoist Leading Mist said just now that you have something to pay a visit to my Wutong Slope?" After Daoist Leading Mist had contacted him, Peng He controlled the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel to continue forward, asking along the way.
Daoist Leading Mist said, "That's right. I want to confirm the progress of the matter that your lineage mentioned earlier. I remember what you said earlier. It was seventy percent certainty. "
A rare smile appeared on Peng He's gloomy face, "If it was seventy percent before, it should be eighty or even ninety percent now."
"Oh? Virtually certain? That really isn't easy. " Daoist Leading Mist did not ask further as he nodded, "Since that is so, we just have to wait for Master and your lineage's Southern Exalt to return."
Peng He said, "That's right. Before that, let us first take care of that scum Yan Zhaoge!"
They sped up on their steeds, the fiery phoenix speeding through the horizon, traversing countless miles of mountains and rivers as they headed north.
When they had arrived at the northernmost region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, the Region of Thousand Lakes, meeting up with those who had received news of Yan Zhaoge's arrival and were waiting there to intercept him, they had not even caught sight of Yan Zhaoge's shadow.
Everyone was instantly rendered dazed.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge was heading east, neither hurrying nor slow as he headed straight for the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Along the way, Yan Zhaoge would look back from time to time, "While the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen is not here, could it be that the other martial practitioners of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory are all dead as well? Logically speaking, there should already be peak experts pursuing me. Could it be that the reactions of the southern martial practitioners are so slow? "
