  Especially when after the battle of Broad Creed Mountain, Broad Creed Mountain’s strength had skyrocketed. Under the situation when it had originally already been gradually growing to preside over Jade Sea City, the changes in people’s hearts would be even more subtle.

  The martial practitioners of Jade Sea City who had harboured complex emotions towards Yan Zhaoge before this great tribulation of Jade Sea City had not been few.

  However, at this moment, seeing a Flame Devil King truly having been drawn away, the group of Jade Sea City bigwigs all simultaneously fell into silence.

  Elder Yu sighed within his heart.

  Earlier, he had still been thinking of treating having assisted Yan Zhaoge in breaking out of their encirclement as a debt of gratitude for Broad Creed Mountain still having provided Unfalling Ghost Rock to Jade Sea City having already known that they intended to use it for forging their Sacred Artifact.

  Who would have thought that Yan Zhaoge was not someone who spoke empty, big words, having achieved what he had said he would, actually successfully luring away a Flame Devil King, instead having bought valuable time for Jade Sea City.

  If Jade Sea City could tide through today’s tribulation in peace, the entire city would have to thank Yan Zhaoge for it.

  Not only had the debt of gratitude not been repaid, it had instead grown even greater.

  Such a result left Elder Yu and the rest of the Jade Sea City martial practitioners all feeling even more complex inwardly.

  However, whatever one said, under such circumstances, many were like Elder Yu, hoping that Yan Zhaoge would be able to make it out of this safely, whatever their previous thoughts about him.

  It was just that…

  “It’s too difficult,” A Jade Sea City Elder muttered, “Having been targeted by a Martial Saint, without a martial practitioner of the same cultivation level making a move, how might he be able to leave intact?”

  That was right. While luring the tiger out of the mountain had been a success, having been targeted by a Flame Devil equivalent to a human Martial Saint expert, how might he be able to leave intact?

  Ah Hu was currently looking bitterly at Yan Zhaoge, “Young Master, is this you being altruistic and sacrificing yourself to save Jade Sea City?”

  Ah Hu had already recognised the dark red ring on Yan Zhaoge’s finger. It had precisely been obtained by Yan Zhaoge upon having slain Ye Jing back in the Eastern Tang Kingdom that year.

  It was a legacy of the legendary Flame Devil Emperor, a supreme expert of before the Great Calamity and the Ancestor of the Flame Devils.

  Yan Zhaoge stood on Pan-Pan’s back, tapping lightly with the toes of his feet.

  Pan-Pan let out a soundless roar, black streams of water intensifying as they rotated about his body, sweeping up the surrounding seawater as a massive vortex was formed, completely throwing back the few Flame Devils still chasing after them.

  Afterwards, Pan-Pan carried Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu, diving down towards the depth of the seas.

  Yan Zhaoge took off the dark red ring on the little finger of his left hand and kept it well.

  The aura of destruction and disaster, that concept of terrifying flames which seemed able to incinerate all lifeforms within the world, instantly vanished.

  However, in the distance, a terrifying aura with a concept that, whilst not being as profound as that within the ring, yet far surpassed it in its current strength, had already appeared, rapidly approaching their current position.

  Flame Devil King!

  Seeing Yan Zhaoge’s motion of keeping the ring, Ah Hu could not help but say secretly, “Young Master, even if you keep the ring now, it’s already too late.”

  “The power of a Flame Devil King is comparable to that of a Martial Saint’s. The difference between our cultivation bases is much too great. Even separated by the great sea, at such a distance, he can still sense our presence here.”

  While the aura of the ring had vanished, that Flame Devil King just had to search for the aura of a living person.

  Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head and looked around. Before him was a vast amount of seawater. However, through it, he could feel a blazing red light getting closer and closer by the second, causing his very soul to feel as though it was being scorched.

  “Just keeping the ring would of course not be enough.”

  As he said thus, Yan Zhaoge retrieved nine the ice shards from his Internal Crystal Furnace!

  Accompanied by the infusion of Yan Zhaoge’s aura-qi within, the nine ice shards hovered together within the sea, encircling Yan Zhaoge.

  White line appeared between the ice shards, connecting them to one another as they came together to form a white ring of light.

  Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu and Pan-Pan were currently located within this white ring of light. Amidst the faint shining white light, a thin layer of ice was frozen out on the waters of the sea surrounding them, taking on the form of a ball of ice, concealing the trio within.

  Ah Hu and Pan-Pan appraised their surroundings curiously, “Young Master, this is?”

  Yan Zhaoge put his index finger before his lips, “Don’t make a sound, don’t exert force, and don’t stimulate your aura-qi as well. Other than my aura-qi supporting this ice ball, do not cause any other energy fluctuations.”

  Ah Hu was taken aback for a moment before he hurriedly nodded.

  Pan-Pan also nodded his huge head with a look that seemed to suggest his comprehension, very humanlike as he extended his two front paws, blocking them before his mouth.

  Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge could not help but smile.

  After smiling, Yan Zhaoge raised his head to gaze above, his gaze focused and calm.

  The ice ball flowed alongside the hidden undercurrents of the sea, moving along with these currents, drifting about leisurely.

  Just at this time, in the sky above this region of sea, the distant horizon first turned red before blazing fire swept through the entire sky, covering it entirely.

  Infinite, boundless flames enveloped the skies above the great sea.

  The seawater grew warm, its temperature increasing non-stop as the sea’s surface began to bubble, dense, white steam rising up all around.

  A massive figure with the head of a human and the body of a snake, completely covered in flames, appeared in the air above the sea as it seemed to want to incinerate the heavens and cook the sea.

  It was precisely that Flame Devil King who had left Jade Sea City.

  His temperamental and cold gaze swept the great sea below.

  “The aura of the Emperor has vanished…still, it’s fine, I’ll be able to sieve you out casually!” His cold intent grew tangible, his powerful sensory abilities searching through the entire region of sea below.

  Despite the barrier that was the seawater itself, with the strength of a Flame Devil King, finding a Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster would be very easy.

  However, as time passed, a look of disbelief soon appeared within the gaze of the Flame Devil King, losing its calm to be replaced by rage.

  “How could it be that I can’t find it? I rushed here immediately; he couldn’t have run far!”

  “Not here…not here…still not here! But why, how is it possible?!”

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 375: Tiding out a patch of heavens

  HSSB375: Tiding out a patch of heavens

  The Flame Devil King Cheng Huang was currently not feeling very happy at all.

  The other party had found some means with which to conceal the treasure, preventing its aura from leaking outwards. This he could think of.

  However, even the person himself had completely vanished without a trace. This virtually bordered on ludicrous.

  Entering the depths of the sea, this would indeed impede the sensory abilities of Flame Devils. However, with the current cultivation base of him, Cheng Huang, even separated by tens of thousands of metres, finding a Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster would not be a hard thing.

  The Flame Devil
King’s sensory abilities spread out amongst all the objects between the heavens and the earth, resembling a great net as he searched everywhere.

  Between the surrounding heavens and the earth, everything, including the various lifeforms within the great sea, were presented before his eyes.

  Yan Zhaoge had just fought with the Flame Devil Duo Chi, having injured him.

  The Flame Devil King Cheng Huang had remembered Yan Zhaoge’s aura from having observed Duo Chi’s injuries. While the great sea did not just contain Yan Zhaoge, as long as Yan Zhaoge was within his line of vision, he would be able to lock onto his target.

  However, it was not just the ring; even Yan Zhaoge had disappeared now, having vanished without a trace. Even with his abilities that saw all under the heavens, Cheng Huang could currently not attain any findings at all.

  However, how could a Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster be evading the sensory sweeps of him, Cheng Huang, his prowess equivalent to a Martial Saint’s?

  The Flame Devils were all temperamental and rash, and even Flame Devil Kings were no exception, with this being the innate disposition of their race.

  However, this didn’t mean that they completely lacked rationality.

  As the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang discovered that he could actually not find Yan Zhaoge’s group at all, amidst his frustration and his rage, the first thought that flashed through his mind was-could this be a trap?

  If there were currently human martial practitioners on his level or close to it in the vicinity, that would indeed be a way for Yan Zhaoge to be evading his sensory sweeps now.

  Could this be a bait prepared by the human race in wanting to ambush him?

  While he was angered, Chuang Huang could not ignore this possibility.

  He had come here as quickly as he could. With his speed as a Flame Devil King, Yan Zhaoge would not have had the time to flee from his sensory range at all.

  However, however Cheng Huang searched, he was still unable to find any trace of Yan Zhaoge.

  This feeling left Cheng Huang extremely frustrated, his rage growing more and more immense.

  Currently, within the depths of the sea, an ice ball quietly drifted alongside its hidden undercurrents. It did not rise, instead continuously sinking downwards amidst its drifting.

  Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu and Pan-Pan, situated within the ice ball, looked at the scenes of the deep sea outside.

  They did not raise their head to look upwards, did not attempt to look at the movements of the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang.

  The targeting and focusing of a gaze might very possibly be sensed by that Flame Devil King, thereby exposing their position.

  “Due to the Flame Devils, the temperatures of the regions of water have become unbalanced. This has intensified the hidden undercurrents beneath the sea; they would not usually be as fast as this,” Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly.

  While thinking such, Yan Zhaoge sustained the ice ball with minimal aura-qi.

  Meanwhile, Ah Hu looked curiously at those nine ice shards that composed the ice ball.

  Through the ice ball, the people inside could also sense the temperature of their surroundings.

  As they felt the seawater outside the ice ball gradually decreasing in temperature, Yan Zhaoge knew that their party was currently gradually leaving the region of sea that was enveloped by the power of the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang.

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, sending a sound transmission to Ah Hu via aura-qi, “Alright, we can speak now. Still, don’t make any noise.”

  Ah Hu immediately scratched his big head, giving a simple and honest smile, “Young Master, this move of yours is truly divine.”

  “What are the origins of these nine ice shards?”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “These are materials for setting up a Cold Abyssal Barrier. Actually, they have not been completely refined; therefore, their true effect cannot be unleashed. However, at the present time, they will be of use in helping us conceal our tracks.”

  “Of course, this can only be used to deal with Flame Devils or perhaps martial practitioners who cultivate in fire-type martial arts for their true essence. Towards others, it would not serve much use.”

  Yan Zhaoge looked at the sea outside, “I also have to thank these intensifying hidden undercurrents of the sea, sending us away from the area quickly. Otherwise, remaining where we were and keeping still and not moving, it would still be dangerous.”

  Amidst his words, intense fluctuations of energy could be felt from the region they had just left.

  That was from the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang finally no longer being able to suppress his rage, his frenzied power beginning to sweep madly through the region of the sea that he was currently at.

  Faced with the possibly existent ambush and threat, the innate disposition of Flame Devils left Cheng Huang no longer worrying, at most committing himself to a battle.

  He no longer searched, instead beginning to stir up the entire sea with his great power, with a momentum that seemed as though it could destroy all objects!

  Not being able to find Yan Zhaoge, Cheng Huang wanted to smash over the entire region before him, crushing anything and everything that was or was not concealed, using his immense power advantage in hauling in all the big fish and the small fish together within his net.

  While they were unclear on Cheng Huang’s mental state, feeling the great ripples in the distant sea far behind them, Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu could basically guess that Flame Devil King’s plan.

  It was a very stupid method, but used by a Flame Devil King, pressuring with raw strength, if Yan Zhaoge’s group had still been concealed where they had been originally, they would still have been hard pressed to avoid that devilish claw in the end.

  Now, however…

  Cheng Huang exerted energy for a long time, yet was still unable to find any traces of Yan Zhaoge.

  This caused him to inevitably feel rather stunned amidst his increased rage.

  Cheng Huang increased his attack radius, unceasingly suppressing the surrounding regions of sea.

  However, not having been able to immediately lock down Yan Zhaoge, his attacks growing fiercer and fiercer, still causing immense destruction where he presently was, it instead created even more rapid hidden undercurrents at the bottom of the sea, expanding outwards in all directions.

  The hidden undercurrents pushed forth the ice ball within the sea, leaving this violent, temperamental Flame Devil King at an even more rapid pace.

  Relying on intricacy through sensory searches, he had been unable to find them.

  Relying roughly on power and mighty explosions to sweep the area, he had still been unable to find them.

  The Flame Devil King Cheng Huang’s current despondence and rage left him frustrated to the extreme, yet having nowhere to vent it, with no place he could exert his force.

  Within the ice ball, Ah Hu was a little scared thinking of what they had avoided, whilst also a little joyful at the misfortune of others, “This Flame Devil King is going to feel useless to death. Young Master, it’s still you who has the best ideas.”

  Pan-Pan moved his huge head over, licking Yan Zhaoge’s face rather flatteringly.

  Yan Zhaoge patted Pan-Pan’s huge head as he said, “At the end of the day, he still wants that ring. Therefore, he wouldn’t immediately sweep through the area with his power, lest he destroy the ring. His earliest method would most likely be sensing for us with his sensory abilities, thereby giving us a chance.”

  “As long as we had drifted out of a certain radius, his embarrassment and frustration turning into rage, it would no longer be a threat even if he wanted to sweep over the area with his raw power. It would instead create even more rapid hidden undercurrents, helping to send us even further away.”

  Ah Hu asked, “Young Master, where do we go from here? It seems like there is still a Flame Devil King over at Jade Sea City. If the one over here just can’t find us after so long, he might eventually return to Jade Sea City as well.”

&n
bsp; Yan Zhaoge said, “Therefore, we cannot grow lax. After creating some distance between us, we will show ourselves once more, drawing this Flame Devil King’s attention over yet again.”

  “However, the risks this time will be greater. As soon as we show ourselves, we will then have to hide immediately, lest that old Flame Devil turns violent in his rage and directly sweeps over the area with raw power.”

  As he said this, feeling the fierce tides that now surged up from behind once more, pushing the ice ball forth even more rapidly in its concealment, Yan Zhaoge suddenly began chuckling, “From a certain perspective, this can be considered us rowing up a boat without using any oars, just moving along purely relying on the power of the tides.”

  “Cough, we’re tiding out a patch of heavens ah.”

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 376: The matador Yan Zhaoge

  HSSB376: The matador Yan Zhaoge

  Other than the great amount of Flame Devils congregated over at East Dragon Island where Jade Sea City was, where a Flame Devil King was currently leading them in attacking Jade Sea City, there was still many other Flame Devils active in the region of the East Sea near where Jade Sea City was.

  At this moment, Jade Sea City had been forced to retract its defensive lines and pour all its efforts into defending East Dragon Island. They could only allow these Flame Devils to move freely for the time being.

  The cultivation bases of these Flame Devils were relatively low, with even Great Flame Devils being rare. However, there were also many Flame Devils at the level of power of Martial Grandmasters.

  After Jade Sea City had retracted its defensive lines, these Flame Devils were no longer restricted as they began wantonly causing damage all over the place.

  On the surface of the sea, three Flame Devils shot through the sky, speeding off into the distance. Long tails of flame could be seen behind them.

  Wherever they passed, the earth was filled with flowing fire.

  Of these three Flame Devils, two were humanoid, while the last resembled a great roc.

  On their bodies, other than the blazing hot aura of flames, a strong smell of blood could also be detected.
