Daoist East Spring's brows furrowed tightly. He sensed that his sect's grand protective array was actually trembling slightly at this moment.
At the side, Zhao Zhen, the sect master of the Purple Tide Sword Sect who had been silent all this while, turned to look at Wutong Slope's Yuan Xiancheng. "Have the people from the southeast already broken through the borders of Mount Circumference?"
The others also looked at Yuan Xiancheng.
If the person outside was really Yan Zhaoge, how would he have dared to come to this Vast Spirit Mountain so blatantly?
The only explanation seemed to be that experts from the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory had already attacked.
It was unknown where Yan Zhaoge had obtained this news from, thus daring to be so fearless.
Thinking of this, the surprised expressions on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, and they began to worry.
They were not worried about Yan Zhaoge. Instead, they were worried about the experts of the southeast who had broken through Circumference Mountain.
"That won't happen. With Senior Uncle Zhang guarding Circumference Mountain, it's practically impregnable. If the southeast wants to invade, it'd be impossible unless many experts launch a large-scale invasion." Yuan Xiancheng calmly replied, "If that's the case, we would have received the news long ago."
The sect master of the Purple Tide Sword Sect, Zhao Zhen, nodded, "If that's the case, that Yan brat really came here alone?"
Everyone's expression became strange, and their faces once again revealed a look of disbelief.
"That brat, could it be that he doesn't even know that there are so many of us here?" Someone said in disbelief.
But even if no one else participated in the Alliance Meeting, Vast Spirit Mountain was still one of the two strongest forces in the Announcing Peace Mountain Range.
Having entered the Announcing Peace Mountain Range, Yan Zhaoge had not made use of the terrain to conceal himself as he had actually come to Vast Spirit Mountain.
Such behavior was boundlessly arrogant.
Daoist East Spring took a deep breath and calmed his mind. Standing in the great hall, he pushed his palm forward.
Runes interweaved on his palm, turning into a mark that flickered with brilliance.
Outside, in the surroundings of Vast Spirit Mountain that towered into the clouds, rays of light circulated. The runes of the array formation that had already appeared were now completely visible, condensed to the point of seeming solid.
"Since he has the guts to come pay a visit to the mountain, let him come up." Yuan Xiancheng didn't move from his seat. The image of the fire phoenix in his eyes seemed to grow brighter.
Hearing that, Daoist East Spring said, "What Mister Yuan said makes sense. I was being stingy."
As he said that, Daoist East Spring retracted his palm, and the guardian grand array that enveloped Vast Spirit Mountain vanished with it.
"Since you're here, do you dare to go up the mountain?" As he spoke, he sat back on the main seat.
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "It is naturally best that Master is at home, lest this Yan becomes an uninvited guest."
The other southern martial artists in the hall rolled their eyes in unison.
If you're not an uninvited guest, then who is an uninvited guest?
However, that wasn't right either. Although Daoist East Spring had his own intentions, this alliance meeting was still in name.
Everyone calmed down and looked at the entrance of the hall.
At this moment, they were filled with curiosity toward the audacious young man.
While they had already received news that Yan Zhaoge had set off from the Endless Mountain Range, passing through many lands of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, the martial practitioners of the various regions having been unable to obstruct him, it was still impossible for them to do so.
News of Yan Zhaoge's rampage spread even from the neighbouring Announcing Peace Mountain Range.
However, there were many things that people would find hard to believe unless they personally witnessed and experienced it.
Daoist East Spring sat peacefully in the main hall, not touching the protective formation.
Still, the other Vast Spirit Mountain martial practitioners felt indignant towards Yan Zhaoge as they did not intend to let him ascend the mountain so easily.
On the mountain path, the numerous Vast Spirit Mountain martial practitioners made use of their geographical advantage to set up multiple formations, wanting to take Yan Zhaoge down a notch.
Daoist East Spring allowed this to happen as he too wanted to first probe Yan Zhaoge's background.
If Yan Zhaoge was too powerful and also vicious in his attacks, Daoist East Spring would act in time to protect him.
Having made up his mind, Daoist East Spring waited patiently.
The martial practitioners of Vast Spirit Mountain would also unceasingly report Yan Zhaoge's performance in ascending the mountain to Daoist East Spring.
Who knew that as time passed, no one would actually report back to him.
As Daoist East Spring was finding this strange, the gaze of Yuan Xiancheng on the main seat of honour suddenly lit up, "Good moves!"
Everyone was incomparably bemused as Daoist East Spring and Chief Zhao Zhen of the Purple Tide Sword Sect seemed to have sensed something as well.
Daoist East Spring's expression changed drastically as he abruptly stood up from his seat once more, roaring furiously, "How dare you!"
The grand formation that enveloped Vast Spirit Mountain circulated once more.
At the same time, however, bright sunlight lit up amidst the mountain, illuminating the nine heavens.
It was as if a great golden sun was rising into the air from halfway up Vast Spirit Mountain.
The majestic, majestic force shook Vast Spirit Mountain's guardian grand formation to the point of beginning to collapse!
"Vast Spirit Mountain can be considered a hegemon of this Announcing Peace Mountain Range. Is this how you treat your guests?" Yan Zhaoge's voice resounded, "Since you have opened the door and invited me up the mountain, why must your disciples play such tricks?"
"Daoist East Spring? As the Lord of Vast Spirit Mountain, your disciples are so unruly. This Yan will help you teach them a lesson then. "
Some of the martial practitioners of the south in the great hall exited the hall, looking down from the peak of the mountain.
With this, they instantly inhaled a breath of cold air.
The mountainside of Vast Spirit Mountain was shrouded in darkness.
The darkness resembled a belt of light as it entangled Vast Spirit Mountain, gradually rising upwards.
Amidst the darkness that resembled night, a great golden sun slowly rose. Yet, the radiance and darkness did not affect each other as they were clearly separated.
The speed at which that belt of light rose was neither fast nor slow as it rose steadily at its own pace.
Daoist East Spring wielded the power of the grand formation, his power being obstructed by the great golden sun.
Even as he felt vexed, he also instructed his disciples on the mountain to swiftly move away, avoiding the black light as they no longer obstructed Yan Zhaoge lest they be devoured by it.
After the martial practitioners of Vast Spirit Mountain had retreated, that black light was retracted as well.
A moment later, Yan Zhaoge's figure appeared before everyone's eyes as he arrived at the peak of the mountain.
"This is one of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Thunders of pre-Great Calamity times, the Thunder of Eternal Night?" The Elder of the Night Magnificence Sect who had been reticent ever since arriving at Vast Spirit Mountain suddenly asked now.
Hearing his words, Daoist East Spring's expression changed slightly.
Those of Vast Spirit Mountain only knew that all those who had obstructed Yan Zhaoge earlier had suddenly vanished without a trace.
Afterwards, be it those who had been unable to restrain themselves from attacking Yan Zhaoge or those who had gone to investigate the situation, as soon as they had neared the black light earlier, they had all vanished without a trace. No one had returned, no one had sent any news back.
While Daoist East Spring had not descended the mountain to investigate the situation, as the Lord of Vast Spirit Mountain, he could clearly feel that Vast Spirit Mountain beneath his feet was actually suffused with a dense death qi.
All the Vast Spirit Mountain martial practitioners who had been devoured by the black light had all perished, never to return!
Yan Zhaoge ascended the mountain as though nothing had happened, smiling, "Even if this Yan has something to do here, it would still be to see who is stronger and who is weaker. The others of your sect are really too impetuous. What does this have to do with them?"
Daoist East Spring glared at Yan Zhaoge, not speaking.
Not to mention the might of the brilliant sun, just the strange black lightning was enough to make one shudder in fear.
Of those who had gone to obstruct Yan Zhaoge, the one with the highest cultivation base was a late Seeing Divinity Martial Saint like Yan Zhaoge. Yet, he had actually vanished soundlessly as well.
After the black light had vanished, the Vast Spirit Mountain martial practitioners who had retreated in time earlier hurriedly went down the mountain from another side to investigate the situation.
Now that they had reported the deaths of those who had died, Daoist East Spring's face was completely black as the bottom of a pot.
