Ah Hu followed Yan Zhaoge's gaze and looked over.
That was a vast, long, and mighty river.
The river was as vast as the sea as one could only sigh at it.
"This river is known as the Dynasty River, a renowned water vein of the entire World beyond Worlds," Yan Zhaoge said as he looked at the river, "I heard people of Golden Court Mountain mention it in the southeast."
The source of the Dynasty River was not Circumference Mountain or the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, instead being the central Jun Heaven Territory to the north.
Originating from the central Jun Heaven Territory, it travelled southeast, traversing billions of kilometres as it passed through many places in the central Jun Heaven Territory and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
Circumference Mountain was one of them as the entire mountain range was directly split into two by the Dynasty River.
After leaving Circumference Mountain, the great river continued heading south.
The great river between the mountain ranges could be considered an important geographical feature of Circumference Mountain.
As the border of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory that bordered the Royal Reed Sea, Yan Zhaoge had naturally spent some time studying this place.
It was not just the martial practitioners of the south who were active here. This included the more famous geography of this place as well.
Yan Zhaoge had long since known of the existence of the Dynasty River. It was just that this was his first time actually seeing it.
Yan Zhaoge was naturally not unprepared for a battle as he had been so confident as to rampage eastwards from the Endless Mountain Range.
Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had stationed a large number of troops here at Circumference Mountain to guard against the experts of the southeast.
Still, he had still come.
Before arriving at Circumference Mountain, he had still been seventy or eighty percent confident.
Now that he had personally come to Circumference Mountain and seen this majestic river, Yan Zhaoge was already more than ninety percent confident.
Xia Guang appeared beside Yan Zhaoge now, sighing endlessly.
When Yan Zhaoge had said that he would fight his way back, he had only felt excited.
Still, when all this had really happened, other than excitement, Xia Guang felt more shock.
Along the way, countless experts of the south had fallen before Yan Zhaoge.
In the Announcing Peace Mountain Range, the alliance of experts had met to deal with Yan Zhaoge. In the end, Yan Zhaoge had taken the initiative to attack Vast Spirit Mountain, virtually decimating it as all the experts of the south had fled miserably.
Of the three experts of the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm, Yuan Xiancheng, Zhao Zhen and Daoist East Spring, two had died and one had been injured.
Even Zhang Shuren of the late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint realm was not a match for Yan Zhaoge as he could only hurriedly return to Circumference Mountain, not daring to emerge from within the grand formation.
A Seeing Divinity Martial Saint rampaging through the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, beating the masses into submission. Such awe-inspiring might truly left Xia Guang yearning to prostrate himself in admiration.
Vast Spirit Mountain's strength might be slightly inferior to Three Foot Mountain, but the difference was not too far off. They were sects of the same level.
There was more than just a single Immortal Bridge Martial Saint guarding over the clan as well as a high-grade Sacred Artifact.
However, whether it was the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range, the Royal Reed Sea or the Green Peak High Plains, such an existence who could be considered a hegemon had been single-handedly slain by Yan Zhaoge.
Their higher echelon experts, Chief Daoist East Spring included, had virtually all perished while the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Dragontail Whip, had fallen into Yan Zhaoge's hands as well.
The entire Vast Spirit Mountain was crushed beneath Yan Zhaoge's foot, no longer existing in this world thereafter.
Just thinking of this, Xia Guang felt his blood surge as he wished that he had such ability to immediately go and slaughter Three Foot Mountain.
"Young Master, this formation before us just happens to block our path back to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory." Ah Hu said at this time, "Although I don't know why the other southern experts have not chased us until now, it will be hard to say if we are blocked here for too long."
Hearing his words, Xia Guang grew alert as well.
While his understanding of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory was limited, he knew that Zhang Shuren was not the only ninth level Martial Saint here.
"There was definitely someone in pursuit," Yan Zhaoge answered nonchalantly, "I also found it strange earlier, but I understood afterwards."
"Those people were probably chasing towards the north at the start to prevent me from leaving through the central Jun Heaven Territory."
At this point, Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, "When I understand, I will naturally change my path, heading east once more."
"I fought my way here. Although I didn't waste too much time, I definitely can't compare to them. So, they shouldn't be far behind me."
A worried look surfaced on Xia Guang's face, "Young Master Yan …"
He recalled that Yan Zhaoge had once said that if he did not face more than one ninth level Martial Saint at a time, even if someone tried to obstruct him, he would still have to fight his way back.
Now, Yan Zhaoge had already proven that this was not empty boasting.
Still, recalling the first half of his words now, Xia Guang could not help but feel rather worried.
With Zhang Shuren blocking the way up ahead, the pursuers behind were most likely led by late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints.
If they were caught in a pincer attack, the consequences …
Yan Zhaoge casually pointed at that great river that traversed the north and south, smiling, "It would be hard to say elsewhere, not even in the Royal Reed Sea. Still, I can properly stretch my muscles here at Circumference Mountain."
"Huh?" Xia Guang was baffled.
Ah Hu's eyes swivelled before he gave a simple and honest laugh, "Young Master, do you have an idea now?"
"This is a good place," Yan Zhaoge's figure flickered as he brought the two along with him in descending into the distance.
While Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng had decided not to leave the Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation, they were also paying attention to Yan Zhaoge's movements at all times.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge first rise into the air before retreating and turning to leave now, not only did Zhang Shuren not relax, he instead became even more vigilant.
The Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation obscured the sky, shifting space as it blocked the passageway between the two Territories.
This was naturally not something that Yan Zhaoge would be able to cross just by flying a little higher.
Now that he had turned to the west, he was instead far away from the grand formation as he flew in the direction of the Announcing Peace Mountain Range that he had come from.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuren could not help but wonder, "This person is arrogant, but he is also said to be crafty. Still, if he just wants to lure us out of the formation, isn't he thinking too simply?"
Zhang Shuren felt that Yan Zhaoge was unable to break the Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation while also being worried about being caught in a pincer attack by Zhang Shuren and Peng He, therefore retreating in the face of difficulties and fleeing elsewhere in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
"Senior apprentice-uncle, could he try to contact the martial practitioners of the southeast on the other side, intending to launch a pincer attack from both sides?" Yuan Xiancheng asked.
Zhang Shuren nodded, "This is the most likely possibility. This old man does not believe that he will let the matter rest just like that."
"This old man will watch over the core of the formation. Xiancheng, you go check on the movements of the southeast."
"Whatever the case, as long as junior apprentice-brother Peng and the others arrive, this person will not be able to escape."
Yuan Xiancheng acknowledged and left, Zhang Shuren observing patiently.
As time passed, Zhang Shuren suddenly felt a change vaguely appear in the spiritual qi flow of Circumference Mountain beneath his feet.
While this change did not seem great, it caused this ninth level Martial Saint to feel a sense of fear and trepidation.
The source of this change seemed to be the Dynasty River that flowed through Circumference Mountain.
Zhang Shuren could not make sense of this at all.
The Dynasty River was only a small part of Circumference Mountain, its source being far away in the central Jun Heaven Territory.
Even a dam would not be able to reach the Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation.
Zhang Shuren could not think of what Yan Zhaoge could do with the Dynasty River. The greatest possibility was that he was actually luring him out of the formation before ambushing and killing him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuren finally decided to deal with the myriad changes by remaining unchanging.
It was as though he was being rewarded for his vigilance.
The light of fire suddenly filled the sky where the Announcing Peace Mountain Range and Circumference Mountain intersected.
The fiery phoenix flapped its wings, a divine vessel traversing the sky as it descended upon Circumference Mountain.
The 'Blazing King' Peng He and the others who had been travelling non-stop the entire way had finally caught up!
