As Yan Zhaoge travelled east, while there were local martial practitioners of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory blocking his path, they lacked experts.
He even suspected that he was thinking too highly of himself.
Actually, in the eyes of the martial practitioners of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory and Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope, he was not that important?
Or perhaps, he wasn't that hateful after all?
Therefore, even as he swaggered through the southern Blazing Heaven Territory and returned to the southeast, they could not be bothered with him at all.
Yan Zhaoge did not know whether to laugh or to cry at this.
Meanwhile, the martial practitioners of the south swiftly reported his latest whereabouts to the 'Blazing King' Peng He and the others who were heading north in pursuit at full speed.
Receiving the news, Peng He and the others exchanged looks, all rendered speechless.
Never would they have thought that Yan Zhaoge would actually not head north to the central Jun Heaven Territory, not even attempting to contact those of Ingenious Flying Peak to receive him.
A Seeing Divinity Martial Saint had just swaggered east, heading straight for the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
"Good! What a Yan Zhaoge! "Peng He was enraged to the point of laughing," Courageous and foolish enough! "
Heading straight east was naturally the fastest way back to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Still, Peng He and the others immediately rejected this possibility.
Why?
Because the eastern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory was currently bordering the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, there were many experts of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory guarding against martial practitioners of the southeast.
Their relationship was currently terrible, with the Exalts of the two Territories not present. Friction often occurred at their borders.
Whether it was the western region of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory where the Royal Reed Sea was or the eastern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, there were countless experts awaiting them.
Aside from local experts, peak experts of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope were active there as well, guarding against experts of the southeast at all times.
It was not like the northern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory bordering the central Jun Heaven Territory. To a martial practitioner of the southeast, that place was filled with danger.
Therefore, from the start, Peng He and the others had rejected the possibility of Yan Zhaoge directly heading east.
That would be equivalent to running headlong into the encirclement of numerous experts.
Heading north, Peng He would still need Daoist Leading Mist to contact experts of the Heaven Emperor's lineage to intercept him.
As Peng He saw it, even if they did not pursue him, Yan Zhaoge would be hard pressed to escape.
"That is not completely unreasonable." Daoist Leading Mist then said, "Perhaps he also has a way to contact the people of Golden Court Mountain in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory to receive him."
Peng He pondered in his heart.
First not speaking of the fact that Yan Zhaoge's foundation was at the westernmost point of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, the Royal Reed Sea that bordered the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
In the southeast, there were also a large number of experts guarding the border.
If Yan Zhaoge was really highly regarded by Golden Court Mountain and had a way of contacting them, the martial practitioners of the southeast would be able to join forces with Yan Zhaoge to launch a pincer attack on the martial practitioners of the south.
This way, Yan Zhaoge really might be able to flee back to the southeast, even causing the martial practitioners of the south to suffer a great loss.
While he felt that Yan Zhaoge's choice was very foolish, Peng He still did not dare to underestimate Yan Zhaoge's personal strength.
Perhaps this was the reason why Yan Zhaoge had headed east?
"Fellow Daoist Leading Mist's words aren't without reason." Peng He nodded, saying, "Let's hurry up and catch up to that Yan Zhaoge. It would be best if we could take care of him on the spot."
"If a war really breaks out at the border, we can also reinforce the border and fight back the people of Golden Court Mountain there."
Now, on the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, a green-robed Daoist who had previously not spoken a word now said, "We also have to guard against this fella's diversionary tactics, luring the tiger away from the mountain."
He was worried that Yan Zhaoge had guessed that he would definitely be intercepted if he headed north, thus first sending a feint towards the east.
After they had changed directions and headed east in pursuit, Yan Zhaoge had instead turned back and headed north once more, fleeing all the way into the central Jun Heaven Territory.
After all, if they headed east, it was still unknown whether they would definitely be met by experts of the southeast or not.
Even if they were met by experts of the southeast, a great battle would definitely occur with victory or defeat hard to predict.
Even if the southeast could win, it was still unknown whether Yan Zhaoge who was alone in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory would be able to kill his way back to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory alive.
If the southeast won, it was not impossible that Yan Zhaoge himself would die.
Heading north to the central Jun Heaven Territory and returning to the southeast via a roundabout route was still the safest option at the end of the day.
Peng He said, "Fellow Daoist Qing Shu speaks correctly. Still, our sect already has others heading north after us. If that Yan Zhaoge really intends to lure us away, we will still be able to stop him."
Hearing his words, this green-robed Daoist nodded, no longer speaking as he resumed his silence.
While he kept a low profile and was of few words, not only did Daoist Leading Mist respect him greatly, even Peng He and the others did not dare to slight him in the least.
He looked rather young on the outside, merely in his early twenties.
However, this green-robed Daoist was shockingly a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint like Peng He.
While his actual age was naturally far greater than what he appeared to be, he was actually much younger than Peng He.
His Daoist title was Qing Shuzi, the head disciple of the Heaven Emperor. He was even more famous than Peng He in the World beyond Worlds as he was also more powerful.
Of the current ninth level Martial Saints of the World beyond Worlds, he was one of the few who were most likely to be able to attain the Human Exalt stage in the near future.
"We must definitely take down that scum Yan Zhaoge this time," Peng He controlled the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel to change direction, speeding east in pursuit of Yan Zhaoge.
There was still no news of Zhuang Chaohui and the others. Peng He and the other Wutong Slope martial practitioners felt increasingly stifled as they urgently wished to capture Yan Zhaoge and get to the bottom of everything.
Meanwhile, the martial practitioners of the south who were active in the eastern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had all received the news that Yan Zhaoge was heading east, attempting to directly return to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Everyone was shocked by Yan Zhaoge's audacity to the heavens as they were even more infuriated.
"Scum of the southeast, why haven't you surrendered yet …"
At this moment, a loud roar resounded between the heavens and the earth above the Broad Dong Mound Plains in the eastern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
A few streaks of light shot towards a massive beast with alternating fur of black and white in the sky, their target being the youth on the back of that massive beast.
Still, before he had finished speaking, his voice abruptly halted.
Those figures amidst the streaks of light seemed to have directly collided with a wall.
On the back of the massive beast, a white-clothed, blue-robed youth extended a palm and pushed forward. His palm was like a wall as it caused those who had arrived to bleed profusely.
Then, that palm flipped downwards, descending towards the ground.
Those who had attacked were directly slammed to death on the great earth of the Broad Dong Mound Plains.
"Young Master, according to the martial practitioners of the south, Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope has an expert of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm sitting over there." A big man beside the youth appeared completely unsurprised as he scratched his head, "Apart from that, there are also other experts of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory here."
In terms of the density of peak experts, the eastern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory was currently almost comparable to that of Phoenix Ritual Mountain.
That big man was naturally Ah Hu, "They have no intention of coming looking for us on their own?"
