Seeing how weird the situation was, she looked towards Gao Han.
Gao Han smiled slightly and sent her a voice transmission regarding what had just happened.
“You’re the one that contacted them all. And yet, now that a conflict occurred, you weren’t the first to deal with the situation.” After hearing what had happened, not only did she not reply in private, she even said this publicly, “If we fail in the end, that’ll be your fault as well.”
Gao Han sighed, “I’m trying my best to settle down the conflict between them.”
Then, he looked towards Yan Zhaoge and Li Xingba and cupped his hands, “Everyone, please do forgive each other. Daoist Ling had brought back some news. Apparently, something peculiar happened within the universe Traveling Monk Hui An was in. Let’s go ahead and take a look first.”
“Alright. My wife and I can leave anytime.” Yan Zhaoge nodded with a smile.
Although he said that, he still restrained gong Sunhui.
Li Xingba’s face turned sour, while Daoist Crimson Mist’s face was filled with helplessness.
Gao Han smiled and shook his head, “Please release Gong Sunhui, Daoist Yan. Everyone present knows what kind of person you are now, and they won’t dare to offend you anymore.”
“Old Man Li and the others judged your wife and you, while the two of you did the same as well. Now that everyone has their answers, we naturally know who should stay and who should go.”
As he spoke, he looked towards Li Xingba, “What do you think, Old Man Li?”
Li Xingba stood there and remained silent.
Seeing this, he looked towards Yan Zhaoge with a smile. Yan Zhaoge also smiled and released his hand. The folded void with the size of grain collapsed and immediately returned to its original size.
The spatial void created by Yan Zhaoge spread outwards and finally vanished.
Gong Sunhui quickly rushed out from within and ran towards his master – Li Xingba, in embarrassment.
“Stay here by yourself.” Li Xingba grumpily took out a small flag and threw it towards Gong Sunhui. Gong Sunhui quickly caught it and dared not say anything else.
“Without further ado, let us depart immediately,” said Gao Han with a chuckle.
Ling Qing’s expression remained cold, “Everyone, follow me.”
After that, she first transformed into a ray of moonlight and flew towards a distant location.
Yan Zhaoge looked towards Li Xingba and Gong Sunhui. After retracting his gaze, he didn’t say anything else and followed Ling Qing along with Feng Yunsheng.
Li Xingba’s expression was sour. He went ahead along with Daoist Crimson Mist, with Gao Han being the last to leave. Gao Han first carefully analyzed his surroundings and cleaned up any traces left behind by everyone.
“Previously, you mentioned that this Daoist Crimson Mist was also here for the Three Brillainces Sacred Water, and not solely to assist Li Xingba?” On the journey, Feng Yunsheng sent a voice transmission to Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge replied with a voice transmission, “Indeed. Afterward, if we are going to snatch for the Three Brilliances Sacred Water, he would be much for useless than Li Xingba.”
Although Li Xingba couldn’t win against Feng Yunsheng, he was still a Grand Virtual Immortal expert that possessed extraordinary strength.
However, in Yan Zhaoge’s eyes, Li Xingba had the most worth. If Traveling Monk Hui An’s master – the Samantabhadra Cultivated Deity, or the Compassionate Cultivated Deity were to stir up troubles, Li Xingba would be their perfect scapegoat.
Meanwhile, Daoist Crimson Mist was different.
“Daoist Crimson Mist… Mist Sovereign… No, we can’t call him that now. Instead, we should refer to him as the Crimson Mist Lord or the Crimson Mist Heavenly Monarch.” Yan Zhaoge thought to himself as he was staring at that old Daoist.
Yan Zhaoge had heard of Daoist Crimson Mist’s name within the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace, before the Great Calamity. However, at that time, Daoist Crimson Mist’s name was merely an insignificant name recorded among the vast amount of foreign vagrant Immortals within the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace. There, the number of details of each vagrant differed from each person.
At that time, the Mist Sovereign – Daoist Crimson Mist had more detailed information recorded. He was the type of vagrant that interacted a lot with the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace and had party relied on it.
The essence of his lineage’s supreme martial art – the Crimson Mist Ten Chapters, were fully recorded within the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Martial Repository.
This supreme martial art was close to Water Arts, and it could even counter many sorts of Water Arts.
With the Three Brilliances Sacred Water, Daoist Crimson Mist’s attacks would be much more effective. It was a great tool for him.
The Three Brilliances Divine Water had an incredible amount of benefits for his cultivation as well. When such an opportunity arose, Daoist Crimson Mist quickly came here with great enthusiasm.
Yan Zhaoge was also familiar with the Crimson Mist Ten Chapters. However, he had never once cultivated it before.
Through the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, he could cultivate it during the last minute. However, now that Daoist Crimson Mist was here, Yan Zhaoge could relax.
As for who the Three Brilliances Sacred Water would belong to in the end, everyone would decide it only after acquiring it.
“We’re here.” Ling Qing suddenly slowed down.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1385 - A Fortunate Timing to Act
As Ling Qing slowed down, the cold moonlight around her slowly vanished, replaced by a layer of darkness.
When the Ketu Dim Encompass Mantra appeared, not only was it able to protect someone, but it also could conceal the caster’s presence.
Yan Zhaoge and the others imitated her and made their preparations.
Li Xingba and Daoist Crimson Mist looked towards Yan Zhaoge. Without Feng Yunsheng’s aid, Yan Zhaoge himself had already concealed his presence to an almost unnoticeable state.
They were slightly shocked within their hearts, as Yan Zhaoge seemed even more proficient in masking his presence compared to them.
No wonder a True Immortal dared to come here openly.
“Let’s slowly get closer. There must be a Grand Heavenly Immortal level existence around here,” said Ling Qing. “Let us quietly wait for any changes.”
Yan Zhaoge and the others nodded.
The group of people maneuvered in the dark void with stealth and looked towards their front.
There, as rays of brilliance glittered, the clash of experts’ aura was continuously being spread around.
Traveling Monk Hui An and other experts should be fighting within this area.
Due to the distance being too far, Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, and the others weren’t able to tell the situation.
However, they weren’t concerned at all. If a Grand Heavenly Immortal level expert intervened, the commotion stirred up would be noticed by them no matter how far they were.
That would be Yan Zhaoge and the others’ opportunity. Before that, no matter how appropriate the situation was for them to act, it would merely be an illusion.
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait for too long.
Suddenly, wild winds blew fanatically within the cosmic void they were in.
Streams of lights blotted the skies and rained down like thunderstorms. With speed faster than everyone could react, they had already descended upon the area.
The sudden streams of lights suddenly came to a halt. As flashes of brilliance flickered, it transformed into a vast silhouette. It opened its wings and covered the entire universe.
“Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles!” Yan Zhaoge and others knew who it was.
Unsurprisingly, the instant the horrifying golden radiance storm appeared, Sutras’ chants resounded grandly from the surrounding.
Rays of translucent radiances slowly became brighter and f
illed up the entire broad skies. It seemed like it was about to trap the unparalleled Great Demon within.
The coverage of the Buddha light was so broad, even the location where Yan Zhaoge and the others were at were included within.
Li Xingba and Daoist Crimson Mist looked towards Gao Han and Ling Qing. Gao Han shook his head and hinted to them to remain calm without doing anything reckless.
As expected, in the next instant, other Great Demon’s majestic demonic qi arose from afar. They advanced towards the center and covered the Buddhist Bhantes within the Buddha light formation.
Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles, who was located within the inner-most core part, spread his wings and started rushing outwards.
He and the group of Great Demons on the outside were planning on attacking from both sides, which would tear down the ambushes laid down by the Buddhists.
“As expected, Traveling Monk Hui An that targetted other Great Rocs was just a bait. Meanwhile, although the Roc of Ten Thousand Great Miles and other Demon Race could tell, they wanted to take the bait and fight against the Buddhists here.” Yan Zhaoge and the others didn’t focus on the battle that transpired.
However, considering how close they were, the clashing between both sides’ spirit qi and demonic qi already gave them an understanding of the situation.
From the very start, the two sides had ferociously clashed against each other, causing even the heavens and earth to collapse.
The Buddhists’ colossal formation received a huge blow from the Great Demons from both sides. Although it wasn’t broken through immediately, the pressure it received was massive.
To relieve the pressure brought by the Demon Race’s attacks, the Buddha light colossal formation continued transforming and shifted within the void.
A crack appeared from the circulation, allowing Yan Zhaoge and the others to leave the colossal formation area quietly.
Even if some Buddhist experts had their suspicions, they wouldn’t be able to divert their attention.
Despite the demons attacking both insides and outsides and despite having the colossal formation transform and shift, the group of Buddhist experts still trapped the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles within the colossal formation.
“What a clash. Could it be, no matter how high their casualties were, they were determined to kill this Golden-Winged Great Roc here?” Yan Zhaoge praised, “It’s no wonder. The Great Roc’s advantage in speed was far too great. Under special circumstances, one person could even be used as multiple.”
The spatial cosmos in front of them continuously distorted. A clump of dark clouds formed by roving Demonic qis enveloped the radiating Buddhism colossal formation and slowly departed far away. Within the colossal formation, rays of light storms continued to clash against it.
As the group of Grand Heavenly Immortal level experts left, the feeling of making one suffocate, making one’s soul numb, and the horrifying pressure slowly disappeared. Everyone on the spot let out a sigh of relief.
Then, they looked towards the location of the battlefield with eyes filled with enthusiasm.
“This is the appropriate time for us to make our move,” whispered Gao Han with a smile.
After completing his sentence, he strode forward and was the first to speed forward.
Yan Zhaoge and the others followed his actions and traversed through the void. Upon nearing the location, many Buddhist Bhantes appeared from the other direction.
This place was already heavily ambushed, to begin with. As the Grand Heavenly Immortal level Buddhist experts were fighting against the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles and other Demon Race Great Sages, other Buddhist Bhantes were also hiding here to prevent the possible reinforcements of the Demon Race.
As Yan Zhaoge looked closely, he saw a teenage looking Buddhist Bhante standing by the void. He held a metal rod in his hand while carrying two swords behind his back. He also held a crimson red gourd by his other hand. His appearance was different from other Buddhist Bhantes, making him the anomaly here.
However, an abundance of vitality was surrounding him, whilst Buddha lights were radiating from his body. It was hard to underestimate him.
His appearance fitted the legendary Traveling Monk Hui An – Mu Zha.
Without a doubt, the two swords behind his back were the well renowned Curved Twinblades of Wu [1].
It was highly possible that the Three Brilliances Sacred Water was stored within that red gourd.
Opposite, a group of Demon Race were slowly closing in as well.
As Yan Zhaoge looked towards their direction, he first saw two Great Rocs, a White Crane, and… two Monkey Demons – one green and one grey.
Although they were called monkeys, their size was even larger than mountain ranges. As they stood, they resembled some giant spiritual gods.
Upon seeing them, a flicker appeared in Yan Zhaoge’s eye. He looked towards Feng Yunsheng and exchanged a glance. Without saying anything, they both understood each other.
Traveling Monk Hui An and the others had also noticed Yan Zhaoge, Gao Han, and the others. Everyone slowed down their battle on-hand.
“So, it’s Daoist Li,
huh
?” Traveling Monk Hui An looked towards Li Xingba, and said with a smile, “How are you doing recently?”
Li Xingba snorted, and he stared directly towards the Curved Twinblades of Wu behind Traveling Monk Hui An.
During the Ancient era, he was decapitated by the Curved Twinblades of Wu, which forcefully made him an Investiture God.
“Gao Han, Ling Qing, Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng. Am I right?” Traveling Monk Hui An swept his gaze towards the crowd, “There’s also someone that I don’t recognize. Are you all here to assist Li Xingba, or aiming for the Three Brilliances Sacred Water?”

History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1386 - Traveling Monk Hui An
“News came from the Immortal Court that the Three Clear Lineage’s successors are coming for the Three Brilliances Sacred Water. They’re talking about you lot, right?” asked Traveling Monk Hui An.
Gao Han smiled and said, “You know about my name. I’m truly proud of it.”
“New generations are surpassing the old ones. There’s no need to remain so modest,” said Traveling Monk Hui An with a smile. “Although our peers had retreated into hiding for ages, we hadn’t sealed off our external news sources. How could I not hear the name of you lot? You’re all the most exceptional prodigies of Daoism after the Great Calamity.”
“Compared to the four of you, I’ve only been managing to survive for a few years.”
Traveling Monk Hui An lowered his head and looked towards the crimson red gourd within his hand, “I’ve already entered Buddhism, and all sorts of attachments to the past have already been disregarded. If it was any other matters, I don’t mind fulfilling your desires due to our past relations with each other. However, the Immortal Court are coveting these Three Brilliances Sacred Water as well. It isn’t good for me to humiliate my alliances. Therefore, I’m unable to present it to you.”
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands, “We’re in dire need of the Three Brilliances Sacred Water as well. If that’s the case, we can only offend you. However, we’re merely fighting temporarily. Please don’t let this affect our future relationship.”
“You’re an amusing person. Despite being in the Leakless True Immortal Realm, you have such an arrogant way with words. Although I’ve heard of your name before, whether you live up to your name or not requires further affirmation.” Traveling Monk Hui An smiled, “As for whether I would be offended, that depends on how capable you lot are.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, “Please do give me some pointers later on.”
Li Xingba scolded, “Just take action already! Why are you blabbering so much?”
Before he finished speaking, he had already swung his hand. A s
tream of dark yellow light flew out and shot towards Traveling Monk Hui An’s head, leaving numerous cracks within the void.
“The amount of Three Brilliances Sacred Water I possess is limited. If not for that, my seniors would’ve already used it to suppress the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles.” Traveling Monk Hui An plucked his gourd’s cap, “However, it should be sufficient in dealing with you lot.”
“Speaking of it, if you lot managed to snatch it away, whether you’re all able to distribute it equally is still an uncertainty.”
Amidst his laughter, a stream of water flew out from the crimson red gourd. Green, yellow and white brilliances permeated, forming a screen of water.
Li Xingba’s Earth Splitting Pearl crashed upon the screen of water, causing the screen of water to undergo a vibration.
The water screen, originally a single entity, seemed to have broken down into numerous water droplets. All the water droplets were vibrating, jumping around.
However, in the next instant, all the water droplets regained their stability and reformed together.
The change of events happened too quickly, rendering Li Xingba unable to utilize the gap of time to execute his next move.
Instead, his own Earth Splitting Pearl was stuck to the screen of water.
Although the dark yellow pearl was continuously vibrating, the vibration was halted by the water, rendering it unable to utilize its potential.
“You’re truly someone fortunate. Even after dropping out of the Investiture Gods rankings, you’re able to survive until today without joining the Immortal Courts, the White Lotus, or the Devils.” Traveling Monk Hui An looked towards Li Xingba and said, “What is it for other than idiocy that you come here to be slain by my blade, instead of appreciating the chance to survive?”
Li Xingba’s red face turned dark, “Bastard, I’ll take my revenge upon you!”
“You’re truly stubborn.” Traveling Monk Hui An smiled and said, “In the past, if you hadn’t become an Investiture God, you’d have died by my blade. Although your life was secured, you’ve suffered huge damage to your vitality. Although Investiture Gods can’t cultivate, their flow of time was different. It allowed your lifespan to grow by a huge margin.”
