He who bore the Evil Sword Taotie and Pan-Pan who had swallowed the Taotie’s heart could only barely resist the devouring force of the black hole.
That destructive power that was able to decimate the heavens and earth which would erupt outwards when the black hole collapsed was not something that could be resisted easily.
If he were to try to end the lives of Kang Ping and the rest now, it would be equivalent to sacrificing his life to take them down along with him.
“Still, it should be quite a while before the black hole down below naturally disperses,” Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “The passing of time and the changing of seasons; the whole world may be different in a few years.”
Seeing Yan Zhaoge gazing in a trancelike manner at the black hole down below, the Lord of North Sea Sword Pavilion’s Gu Hong could not help but ask, “Little Friend Yan, there is something that I wonder if you are aware of?”
Yan Zhaoge looked over at him, “What is it, Pavilion Lord Gu?”
Gu Hong said worriedly, “North of the Radiant Light Sect’s Sun Moon Peak, in the region of sea above the Spirit Inheritance Region, there exists a wound of the sky.”
“According to the words of the Radiant Light Sect’s Chief Luo, this wound of the sky leads to the Eight Extremities World where you were born.”
“The Grand Xuan Dynasty’s King Xuanmu did not pursue us here to the Clear Scenic Region. He should have led troops to attack your Eight Extremities World…”
Gongsun Wu looked at Yan Zhaoge, not knowing how he might react after hearing such news.
King Xuanmu was himself an expert of the peak of the late Seeing Divinity stage. He was also accompanied by the Grand Xuan Spear and countless other experts.
If such a force was to attack a lower world, even with their cultivation bases suppressed by the power of dimensions, it would still be like a chaotic, unstoppable tide.
Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu believed that faced with such pressure, the Eight Extremities World and Yan Zhaoge’s lineage would definitely not be able to stand against it.
With so much time already having passed, everything would long since have been settled over there.
Yan Zhaoge had probably come directly to the Clear Scenic Region, still not knowing about all that had happened over at the Spirit Inheritance Region earlier.
Gu Hong looked rather worriedly at Yan Zhaoge, thinking about how he should comfort him.
If Yan Zhaoge was overwhelmed by fury, wanting to seek vengeance with King Xuanmu, Gu Hong felt that he should still accompany him in doing so.
After all, King Xuanmu who possessed the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the King Xuan Spear, had high martial prowess comparable to that of Immortal Bridge Martial Saints.
If Yan Zhaoge went to look for him then, he would not be like Kang Ping and the others earlier who had been trapped by the black hole and unable to retaliate.
While Yan Zhaoge possessed more than just a single high-grade Sacred Artifact, he still might not be able to defeat King Xuanmu.
This would especially be so if King Xuanmu had already returned to his capital, possessing the home advantage. It would be even more difficult if Yan Zhaoge attacked him then.
Hearing Gu Hong’s words, Yan Zhaoge laughed, “Thank you for telling me this, Pavilion Lord Gu. Still, I already knew this before coming to the Clear Scenic Region. In truth, this Yan actually came to the Clear Scenic Region via the Spirit Inheritance Region.”
Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu were both taken aback, “Then, the situation at the Spirit Inheritance Region now?”
Before Yan Zhaoge could answer, Mu Jun had already smiled, replying, “The current Xuan King and his troops who invaded the Eight Extremities World were all slain, all perishing in the region of sea close to the Spirit Inheritance Region’s wound of the sky. This includes the current Xuan King.”
“The Grand Xuan Dynasty’s high-grade Sacred Artifact, the King Xuan Spear, is currently precisely in the hands of this Little Friend Yan.”
“?!” Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu were both rendered dazed by this.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 791: Ferocious dragons must cross the river, fearsome dragons will soar the skies
HSSB791: Ferocious dragons must cross the river, fearsome dragons will soar the skies
Along with Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu, the other North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island longtime Elders were all stunned as well.
If not for the fact that it was the Immortal Bridge Martial Saint disciple of the Southeastern Exalt’s, Mu Jun who was currently speaking, a great din would definitely have arisen right there and then.
Currently, everyone was lost for words as they could only stare dazedly at Yan Zhaoge.
There was only one thought in all their minds, “How did he do it?”
It couldn’t be that King Xuanmu’s predicament at the time had also been like that of Kang Ping and Luo Zhiyuan earlier, being one where he was trapped in a precarious position and forced to receive beatings?
Gu Hong’s heart jolted slightly as he recalled how Yan Zhaoge had previously made use of the unique environment over at the Phoenix Bearing Region’s wound of the sky and caused a tough competition for life between Luo Zhiyuan and Madame Kang.
Instead, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “King Xuanmu personally descended to the Eight Extremities World, yet left the King Xuan Spear here in the World beyond Worlds. Thus, I took his treasure.”
“After King Xuanmu returned, my father just had happened to ascend to the World beyond Worlds as well. In the end, it was he who slew King Xuanmu.”
Gu Hong, Gongsun Wu and the others nodded, “Oh, so that’s how it was.”
The King Xuan Spear had not been in King Xuanmu’s hands, while Yan Zhaoge possessed the Extreme Yang Spear. Considering all the astonishing methods that Yan Zhaoge had put on display in the past, it was indeed possible that this could have happened.
Wait, something seemed to be wrong?
Someone’s eyes grew wide, “Your father just happened to ascend to the World beyond Worlds. Next, he slew King Xuanmu?”
“Just happened to ascend. This should mean that he only just refined his acupoints to see Divinity?”
Everyone else realised this as well as they stared on in shock at Yan Zhaoge.
Wasn’t this to say that someone who had just ascended to the early Seeing Divinity stage had slain an expert of the peak of the late Seeing Divinity stage like King Xuanmu?
Even though King Xuanmu had not possessed the King Xuan Spear, that was still just inconceivable!
Everyone leapt up in fright, Yan Zhaoge’s expression as per usual as he mildly nodded, “That’s right. My father just ascended, breaking through space to see true Divinity.”
Everyone exchanged looks, all unable to speak.
Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun exchanged glances, shock still present in both their hearts as they recalled what Chen Zhiliang had recounted to them earlier.
Especially with Chen Zhiliang having recounted how it was someone whom the power of dimensions could not allow to remain down in the lower worlds just at the third level of the Martial Saint realm.
Such a heaven-defying genius was something that even the likes of Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun had to sigh in admiration at.
In addition, there was also another such person standing before them right now.
While it was only a prediction, Lin Hanhua and Mu Jin deeply suspected that the current Yan Zhaoge had very likely surpassed his father, being even stronger than him.
While he was currently at the second level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Merging Avatar stage, it was probable that he already might not be tolerated by the lower worlds.
With such talent having simultaneously appeared from the lower worlds, the two even being father and son, even Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun felt shocked at this.
As the Southeastern Exalt’s most outstanding disciples, they were originally already the best of the best, elites amongst elites. Yet, they could not help but sigh continually
in admiration now.
While Mu Jun was inwardly dismissing how the Eight Extremities World’s Broad Creed Mountain possessed more than just a single high-grade Sacred Artifact despite having no Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, such thoughts of his could only remain unspoken.
He was really feeling extremely interested in this clan from the lower worlds now.
As Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu looked at Yan Zhaoge now, there was only a single thought that existed within their minds.
Ferocious dragons must cross the river, or rather, fearsome dragons will soar the skies.
Gongsun Wu had a somewhat deeper impression of this.
Being able to win against King Xuanmu, that was likely equivalent to being able to win against him.
Someone who had only just attained the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Seeing Divinity stage…
Looking at the great sea down below where Endless Magnetic Storms were gradually beginning to rise once more, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “King Xuanmu has been exterminated while the peak figures of the Shenling Ten Swords are currently all trapped in this Clear Scenic Region, great casualties having been suffered by the Grand Xuan Dynasty. Still, their four Lord Protectors remain, a centipede simply not dying easily with its many legs.”
Gu Hong, Gongsun Wu and the others all considered this as well.
Now seemed to be the time for them to grasp this chance and exert themselves against the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
What they had to consider was how they would deal with Kang Ping and the others when they eventually managed to extricate themselves from the Clear Scenic Region. At the end of the day, these were three whole Martial Saint experts who had stepped into the Immortal Bridge stage.
Still, looking at Yan Zhaoge before them, their hearts jolted slightly.
When Kang Ping and the others had extricated themselves, what heights would this youth before them have attained by then?
Gu Hong and the others turned to look at Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun who were standing by the side.
The two of them seemed wholly unconcerned about this matter which they were now discussing.
This instead gradually boosted the confidence of North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Our clan seeks to come to the World beyond Worlds, with the location probably being the Spirit Inheritance Region in the Royal Reed Sea. I would like for Mister Lin and Mister Mu to help in working this out, also asking Pavilion Lord Gu and Chief Gongsun to look out for us.”
Everyone had already generally predicted this somewhat.
Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu directed their gazes at Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun.
Lin Hanhua said mildly, “I am fine with it. Still, I will have to ask my Master about this.”
If it were any ordinary power of the lower worlds, just their permission alone would already be sufficient for them to set up their headquarters within the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Yet, the circumstances of Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain were unique. They had stirred up rather great disturbances, having been involved in so many things.
They also possessed great treasures like the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown which held a special significance, no one being able to tell what all this might bring about in the future.
Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun could not make a decision on their own regarding this.
Still, Mu Jun nodded as well, “I too am fine with it. It will be okay if Master gives his permission.”
“If Little Friend Yan and your father are free, why not make a trip to Golden Court Mountain to meet our Master.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “I too would like that.”
Seeing this, Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu said to Yan Zhaoge in unison, “It is a cause for celebration that your sect desires to develop here in the World beyond Worlds. When the ceremony for your grand opening arrives, we will definitely be there to give our congratulations.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Since that is so, this Yan first thanks you here.”
Thinking about how the Grand Xuan Dynasty might not have yet received news from the Clear Scenic Region, wanting to catch them unawares, Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu quickly cupped their hands towards Yan Zhaoge, Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun, “Everyone, we will be taking our leave first.”
“Shadow Mountain Sword King and Green Plains Sword King, if you have any instructions, just swiftly notify us about it. If orders come down from Golden Court Mountain, we will surely abide by them.”
Lin Hanhua nodded in silence while Mu Jun smiled, “You are polite.”
Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu intentionally looked at Yan Zhaoge.
“It is all thanks to Little Friend Yan for your help this time. We are extremely grateful for it. Little Friend Yan is welcome at our Grinding Hut Region as a guest at any time.”
“Little Friend Yan is welcome at our Copper Men Island at any time. We will surely welcome you.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “You are welcome. This Yan will definitely head over for a visit in the future.”
After seeing Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu off, Yan Zhaoge looked at the broad, boundless great sea before him, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he felt greatly at ease, “Now, the scenery of this Royal Reed Sea looks much more interesting.”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 792: Kidnapping
HSSB792: Kidnapping
Following Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu’s departure, Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun glanced at the seas of the Clear Scenic Region down below before preparing to leave as well.
While Zhuang Chaohui had fled, there was still another peak expert of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory in the vicinity. Following the earlier clash with him, there could be a resurgence of activity at any moment.
Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun needed to deal with this. Also, it was necessary for them to send Tang Yonghao who possessed the phoenix bone back to Golden Court Mountain as soon as possible.
They invited Yan Zhaoge and his father over to Golden Court Mountain as well.
Considering how the Grand Xuan Dynasty and the Radiant Light Sect should not be causing any trouble now, with the situation in the Royal Reed Sea finally having become rather optimistic, Yan Zhaoge too had the intention of going to Golden Court Mountain to see the current hegemon of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, the Southeastern Exalt.
After all, his Broad Creed Mountain next planned to gain stable footing in the World beyond Worlds, setting down root and spreading their influence.
As for the matter with Zhuang Chaohui and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, that was more of the problem of Lin Hanhua’s group.
After taking their leave from Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun, Yan Zhaoge’s group left the seas of the Clear Scenic Region, heading for the Spirit Inheritance Region via the Desert Mountain region.
On the way there, they remained in the Myriad Dragon Palace together. Now, Yan Zhaoge looked at Feng Yunsheng.
She had finally won the Extreme Yin Crown that she had long yearned for. While it had no longer been that pressing a matter to her, closure had finally been attained in this long-standing issue.
Still, she did not appear relaxed now.
With Zhuang Chaohui having unexpectedly taken Meng Wan away, she was feeling very worried.
Feeling Yan Zhaoge’s gaze on her, Feng Yunsheng smiled, shaking her head, “I’m fine.”
While she was on great terms with Meng Wan, with Zhuang Chaohui having arrived late to the battle, he should only have seen the two of them battling all out to win the Extreme Yin Crown.
If Zhuang Chaohui had wanted to kidnap someone as revenge against Yan Zhaoge, that person should have been Feng Yunsheng and not Meng Wan.
First not speaking of how the relationship between Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan was complicated due to the Sacred Sun Clan having been destroyed by Broad Creed Mountain, it was only Feng Yunsheng who usually shared an intimate relationship with Meng Wan.
At the end of the day, Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan did
not have much of a relationship at all.
If Zhuang Chaohui had kidnapped Meng Wan because of his conflict with Yan Zhaoge, he should have been trying to get more information regarding Yan Zhaoge from her at most.
Yet, having come from the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, Zhuang Chaohui most likely did not know of Meng Wan’s background, being unaware that she hailed from the Eight Extremities World just like Yan Zhaoge did.
Therefore, this made no sense at all.
The only logical explanation was that he had taken Meng Wan away due to she herself, this actually being wholly unrelated to Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng.
Feng Yunsheng had already calmed down following her initial worries, gradually coming to consider the crux of the problem.
It should not have been because of the Extreme Yin Physique since Meng Wan no longer possessed the Extreme Yin Crown.
Therefore, there must be some other underlying reason.
Still, Feng Yunsheng did not know if Meng Wan might meet with any nasty treatment after having been brought away by Zhuang Chaohui.
While it would surely not be like Tang Yonghao who would have been refined for the phoenix bone, this was still a difficult thing to predict.
Therefore, it was very hard for her not to worry.
Wracking her brains, she was just unable to understand why Zhuang Chaohui had taken Meng Wan.
After coming to the World beyond Worlds, Meng Wan had resided in secret on Sun Moon Peak, not having ventured outside at all as even many Radiant Light Sect disciples had never seen her before.
Before having met her today, Zhuang Chaohui would not even have known of her existence at all.
As Yan Zhaoge gazed over, Feng Yunsheng thought for a bit, still not bringing this up in the end.
Yan Zhaoge indeed had no intention of mercilessly getting rid of Tang Yonghao and Meng Wan. On the contrary, he admired these two people greatly.
Still, there existed the pre-existing condition here that they had never truly been enemies to Broad Creed Mountain before.
This included Meng Wan having held the Extreme Yin Crown in the Eight Extremities World back then. While it had affected the global situation through its intimidating effect, she had not truly entered bloodied battles against Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners with it, ultimately.
