History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  While the true essence of the two seemed to be locked in heated battle in mid-air, with Lin Qiancheng set on retreating, it was not a true life and death battle that was going on between them.

  Seeing this, everyone inevitably had many speculations.

  Those who had already suspected Yan Zhaoge originally felt even more suspicious, feeling that the two of them were acting, with Lin Qiancheng intentionally giving way to Yan Zhaoge.

  Myriad Sword Pool’s Chief, Yan Gang, was rather hesitant, not daring to unleash the Floating Sinking Sword at his full strength for fear that he might fall into a trap, with Yan Zhaoge and Lin Qiancheng suddenly joining hands to attack him.

  Just like this, with Lin Qiancheng after all being a Martial Saint, as he focused just on escaping rather than continuing to battle, however swift Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone, with it only just having been refined, it was still difficult for him to keep Lin Qiancheng there.

  However, Yan Zhaoge did not appear dispirited as a pondering expression instead appeared on his face.

  Seeing Lin Qiancheng’s retreating figure, Yan Zhaoge suddenly laughed, “What you cultivate in is the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art? Its power is indeed unordinary, full of changes and variations as it is difficult for one to discern your foundations. “

  “With your body like an illusory shadow, it will be hard for the attacks of others to land on you. At the same cultivation level, martial practitioners who cultivate in the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art are renowned for being hard to kill, with it being very difficult for even those whose cultivation bases are superior to yours to kill you as well. I even suspect that you might be the person in this Vast Ocean World who is the hardest to kill.”

  Yan Zhaoge said leisurely, “Still, that is only under normal circumstances.”

  “If this demonic art is not cultivated to the tenth and final completion stage, on the first, fifth, tenth, eleventh, fifteenth day of the month and so on, for a total of nine out of thirty days in a month, you would lie within a weakened state.”

  “Being at the first level of the Martial Saint realm, you should normally have reached the seventh or the eighth stage of the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art at most.”

  Yan Zhaoge said rather nastily, “During the period of time when you are weakened, your demonic foundations will be unstable as true essence might even leak uncontrollably out of your body, revealing your movements. You’ve really got to hide well on those days!”

  Lin Qiancheng’s figure did not halt as he vanished into the horizon.

  However, the minds of all the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners present wavered as they seemed to see the Evil Saint’s body shake in its entirety, with him stumbling slightly.

  They all exchanged looks, “That wasn’t a hallucination, right?”

  Everyone might have seen wrongly, but the Floating Sinking Sword within Yan Gang’s hands would definitely not have seen wrongly.

  There was only one explanation for it then. Yan Zhaoge must have spoken the truth.

  All the martial practitioners on the side of Good had their spirits raised slightly.

  Elder Dong and Zhang Haocheng of Water Crystal Palace exchanged glances, both able to see the shock in the other’s eyes.

  Zhang Haocheng said hesitantly, “If I do not remember wrongly, over the years, when we have had news of the Evil Saint when he did not take the initiative to appear on his own, it seems to all have been on days like the first, the fifth, the tenth, the eleventh and the fifteenth?”

  Elder Dong closed his eyes, recalling earnestly for a moment before he opened his eyes and nodded slowly, “That’s right! On every first, fifth, and tenth of every ten days! It is within this perimeter even though not all the nine days might be included.”

  Zhang Haocheng held his wrist, “If he did not act, we would also not know that the Evil Saint was currently in a weakened state. Otherwise, it would be the best time to deal with him, with him even unable to conceal his location properly. So many good chances have been wasted away just like that.”

  It was true that the Evil Saint was powerful, but what troubled them the most were still his strange and unpredictable movements along with his thoughts that were hard to grasp.

  A Water Crystal Palace martial practitioner sent over a silent sound transmission, “Would it be a layered trap, being a lie that they colluded to make seem true?”

  Elder Dong answered, “If it is a lie, that would mean that all of the Evil Saint’s movements over this long period of time thus far have been performed in preparation for this lie.”

  “However, if we are cautious enough, this lie would not serve any purpose, the risks being far greater than the benefits and the returns far less than the effort put in.”

  He looked at Yan Zhaoge, sighing softly, “If he was trying to gain trust from this youth, that was completely not worth it at all.”

  Zhang Haocheng looked first at Yan Zhaoge and then at the Northern Ocean Clone beside him before smiling bitterly, “Even if the two of them colluded, it is also impossible for this Young Master Yan to be a disciple of the Sacred Evil Sect. He can stand on level footing with any expert in this world.”

  Yet, if Yan Zhaoge was not a descendant of the Sacred Evil Sect, how then should the forces of Good view him?

  Everyone exchanged bitter smiles.

  Could they expect such a powerful person to just sit there and wait for death when facing Fang Kan? It was not like he was a fool.

  Even Yan Gang, the Chief of Myriad Sword Pool, felt troubled, with Yan Zhaoge after all still being too powerful.

  If such a person was indeed an enemy, no more had to be said about it. They would just do what they had to do, with them all relying on the abilities that they possessed to do so.

  If such a person was neutral, however, if they forced him over to the side of Evil, wouldn’t that then be finding trouble for themselves?

  Therefore, looking at Yan Zhaoge, all of them could not help but feel a headache coming on…

  HSSB521: Soaring to prominence, destined to be a legend

  Looking at the Evil Saint Lin Qiancheng fleeing into the distance, Yan Zhaoge shrugged.

  The Sacred Evil Sect was strange and mysterious. The forces of Good aside, its relationship with the other forces of Evil was not that good as well. While similarly being part of the Six Evil Sects, the Dragon Slayer Sect, Soul Shocking Island and the others were very cautious of them.

  With Lin Qiancheng’s weakness having been revealed today, there would be no end to those who would target him.

  The Sacred Evil Sect had been established for many years, never having undergone any great tribulations before due to the mystery that shrouded its movements. It definitely possessed great wealth and resources which would definitely be very beneficial to the side that managed to obtain them.

  Of course, being full of treasures, Yan Zhaoge was a ‘loaded target’ as well. Still, comparatively speaking, from today onwards, all of them of the Vast Ocean World would be very cautious in having designs on him.

  After all, as compared to the Sacred Evil Sect which they had coexisted with for so many years, Yan Zhaoge who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and soared to prominence was actually even more mysterious, even harder to see through.

  The forces of Good, including those of Water Crystal Palace, the Spirit Returning Sect, the Blazing Wind Sect and so on, could only felt a headache coming on at this moment.

  Meanwhile, the Dragon Slayer Sect and Green Snake Island included, the forces of Evil were currently also greatly conflicted as they looked at Yan Zhaoge.

  It was naught but Chief Yan Gang of Myriad Sword Pool who was feeling the most awkward.

  Spirit Rhino Island had always been on good terms with Myriad Sword Pool amongst the Seven Pillars of Good. It was having been invited by Fang Kan that Yan Gang had rushed over this time.

  In the end,
Yan Zhaoge had virtually killed Fang Kan in front of Yan Gang. At the same time that tragedy had befallen Spirit Rhino Island, Myriad Sword Pool’s face had been hurt greatly as well.

  However, Yan Gang would have no way of capturing Yan Zhaoge to make him pay for what he had done.

  With the Chief of the Dragon Slayer Sect as well as the Chief of Shocking Soul Island along with the Shocking Soul Box hurrying over here as well, Yan Gang also had to stay vigilant against leaving himself vulnerable to them.

  However, if Yan Gang did not do something on behalf of Spirit Rhino Island, it would be an even more tragic blow to Myriad Sword Pool’s face, at the same time also alienating Spirit Rhino Island from them.

  Moreover, Fang Kan having been killed, it was the alliance between Spirit Rhino Island and Myriad Sword Pool that had suffered as a result, falling to a disadvantage against the others of the Seven Pillars of Good.

  Innumerable thoughts flashed through Yan Gang’s mind at lightning speed.

  Now, a voice resounded from the distance, “Yan Gang, do you still want to continue? This old man would be very happy to watch the battle.”

  Yan Gang’s expression changed slightly as he recognised this to be the voice of the Chief of Shocking Soul Island of the Six Evil Sects.

  While the other party was not a Martial Saint, he possessed their ancestral Sacred Artifact, the Shocking Soul Box, which possessed extraordinary power and left Shocking Soul Island stably amongst the top three of the Six Evil Sects.

  As Yan Gang gazed at Yan Zhaoge, Yan Zhaoge laughed, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know this person. Everyone clearly knows what you are thinking.”

  Of course, it was clear that the Chief of Shocking Soul Island was just trying to get on Yan Zhaoge’s good side.

  Having seen what had happened to Lin Qiancheng earlier, the Chief of Shocking Soul Island did not move rashly as he just stood far away, pressuring Yan Gang into not making a move.

  Despairing looks appeared on the faces of the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners present. First not mentioning whether Yan Gang might be able to defeat Yan Zhaoge, under such circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to attack Yan Zhaoge even if he would theoretically be able to do so.

  While the two sects were close to each other, however thick-skinned these Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners were, it would still be too much of them to ask Yan Gang to bear the immense risk of fighting one against two in order to secure justice for them.

  It was destined that the humiliation and hatred from the death of their Chief would not be washed clean today.

  The Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners were even beginning to worry that Yan Zhaoge might ruthlessly come over and exterminate the rest of them.

  The expression of Myriad Sword Pool’s Yan Gang was sunken as water as he appeared extremely displeased.

  However, only he himself could know whether he had actually secretly heaved a sigh of relief, no longer being pressured into having to make a difficult decision.

  Yan Zhaoge smiled mildly, seemingly completely ignoring the tense atmosphere around him. His hands behind his back, he walked off leisurely in the direction of the Bewildering Maze Sea.

  “The Sacred Evil Sect should have a special reason for fishing in turbid waters. Because I unexpectedly came over here, his efforts were wasted midway. However, there should still be traces of it left behind. Isn’t anyone interested about this?”

  Hearing Yan Zhaoge’s words, the hearts of Yan Gang and the others all jolted slightly.

  If Yan Zhaoge was not of the Sacred Evil Sect and Lin Qiancheng had not come here to provide him with support, why then had he specifically come all the way here?

  Merely framing Yan Zhaoge was clearly insufficient a reason for this exalted person of the Sacred Evil Sect to come all the way here. After all, no one could have known before this that Yan Zhaoge was actually powerful to this extent, able to affect the equilibrium of the Vast Ocean World’s global situation.

  Therefore, Lin Qiancheng’s actions truly left one wondering.

  As everyone pondered, they followed Yan Zhaoge into the interior of the Bewildering Maze Sea. Even that terrifying aura representing the Chief of Shocking Soul Island who had not materialised before everyone followed him as well.

  The Northern Ocean Clone brought Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu along in progressing forth.

  Paying attention to their surroundings, Yan Zhaoge knew that Lin Qiancheng would have been exceptionally careful since he cultivated in the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art. Traces that he had left behind would not be easily discovered.

  “The Bewildering Maze Sea itself possessing the ability to bewilder, it will have gotten rid of most of the traces that were left behind,” Yan Zhaoge pondered slightly aloud, “Still, from the looks of it, he seems to have been searching from something.”

  The others felt somewhat disbelieving at his words, yet felt even more excited as well.

  Things that the Evil Saint Lin Qiancheng had been attracted by would naturally be remarkable beyond compare.

  Still, his plans having been spoiled so by Yan Zhaoge, he naturally wouldn’t be looking for anything anymore.

  Following this, he would have to focus on concealing his tracks even more thoroughly lest he unsuspectingly fell victim.

  With no other visible clues present, after standing there pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge smiled and shook his head.

  He waved leisurely goodbye to the others, “Everyone, I have finished with what I set out to do here and naturally will not remain any further. Let us meet again.”

  True essence surged within the acupoints of the Northern Ocean Clone, streams of light transforming into wings that expanded outwards, sweeping Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu along as they had travelled five thousand kilometres away in an instant, no longer visible from sight.

  The Vast Ocean World martial practitioners did not know whether to laugh or to cry, all bearing greatly complex emotions as they were rendered speechless for a time.

  It was just that the thoughts currently within their minds were all related to Yan Zhaoge.

  The first time he had appeared, he had slain the Chief of Spirit Rhino Island Fang Kan, the head of one of the Seven Pillars of Good, whilst also exposing the weak point of the Chief of the Sacred Evil Sect, Lin Qiancheng.

  All of these incidents, all of these deeds would shake the world.

  Who knew what kind of changes this mysterious youth who had suddenly risen to prominence out of nowhere might bring to the Vast Ocean World in the future?

  Whatever one said, however, regarding these heavens and earth, even if Yan Zhaoge completely vanished after this, he had already become a legend, destined to leave behind a colourful, remarkable tale in the historical annals of the Vast Ocean World.

  As powerful auras approached the area from other directions, everyone was jolted of their reverie as they recognised them to belong to the Palace Lord of Water Crystal Palace as well as the Chiefs of the Blood Dragon Sect and the Dragon Slayer Sect.

  Many experts of the Vast Ocean World had actually congregated here.

  Soon, though, the Chiefs of the Dragon Slayer Sect and Shocking Soul Island were the first to retreat, the martial practitioners on the side of Evil warily looking at those of the forces of Good present as they too took their leave.

  The forces of Good did not pursue. All of them needed time to digest what had happened today, thinking up a new general policy and stance regarding future developments in the global situation.

  Meanwhile, the one who had stirred up and created this huge storm, Yan Zhaoge, was feeling rather relaxed and jovial.

  Looking at the Northern Ocean Clone beside him, Yan Zhaoge was all smiles, “Oh, it is good to use indeed. It’s just that due to its cultivation base being so much higher than mine, controlling it requires quite a bit of my mental strength. When this clone is battling with others, I myself would not be able to fight as smoothly.”

  Fu Enshu pointed at him, “Show-off.�

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, and did not speak.

  HSSB522: Cultivating in a second Heavenly Scripture!

  Looking at Yan Zhaoge’s lackadaisical manner, Fu Enshu could not help but shake her head, smiling.

  After that, she asked curiously, “Still, how did you manage to refine the mortal shell of a Martial Saint as your clone when only a Martial Grandmaster?”

  “Even with the help of those Sweet Pouring Raindrops, it should still have been insufficient, right?”

  Yan Zhaoge’s expression did not change, “It should be related to my essence talisman. Upon reaching the mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster realm, I gained ten spiritual leaves, the rune inscribed on that tenth leaf being rather unique.”

  “That was something I comprehended and gained regarding the principles of the heavens and the earth during my cultivation, being extremely abstruse and hard to explain. Still, I think that it must have been some hidden, profound properties of this that helped me to achieve this feat today.”

  Recalling this, Fu Enshu nodded slowly, “It was indeed profound. While the ten leaves blossoming ten flowers of your father’s that I saw that year was also profound and indiscernible, it still seems to have been less abstruse than yours.”

  She sighed in praise, “Spirit leaves and spirit flowers, whilst being everyone’s fortune, is also the manifestation of one’s comprehensions and accumulated foundation in the martial dao. Being in possession of this fortune, it is also inextricably linked to the foundation that you’ve established.”

  Yan Zhaoge chortled, “I think so as well.”

  Despite his shameless look, Fu Enshu was not annoyed, “Right. While I have not supervised your cultivation before, I know of how diligently you usually cultivate.”

  Yan Zhaoge asked, “How are your injuries, senior apprentice-aunt?”

  “Having battled with someone just now, yet some more time will be required before I can fully recover,” Fu Enshu said, “Rather than that, are we headed to Changli Mountain now?”
