As she exceptionally treasured her current life, Feng Yunsheng was usually nice in Broad Creed Mountain.
It was to the point that Yin Liuhua had easily forgotten that the woman before her was actually an extremely tough and proud woman.
She now remembered that she had also seen such a Feng Yunsheng before.
Feng Yunsheng was this way when she was battling with enemies and participating in the Extreme Yin Bout, tyrannical and sharp, arrogant and domineering, valiant and mighty.
Feng Yunsheng said like hammering a nail into iron, “I have always believed that without Zhaoge, without Master, without Broad Creed Mountain, there would not have been me today.”
“However, everything that I have done have been upright and aboveboard, with no underhanded schemes at all that can be called into question.”
Feng Yunsheng looked at Yin Liuhua, “In your eyes, I being able to do something that you are unable to means that I am cheating?”
“Let me tell you now then. In this world, there are some things that I can do, but you can’t.”
“Therefore, I am me, and you are you.”
“You don’t like others to compare you to me. Well, I also want to tell you not to compare me to you. In some aspects, you are indeed inferior.”
Feng Yunsheng’s tone was mild and composed. However, the more this was so, the more Yin Liuhua felt stifled.
This was the first time she was facing such a sharp, tyrannical Feng Yunsheng. Looking at her, she could only feel herself growing increasingly smaller.
This sort of feeling left her feeling like tearing her hair out in rage.
Yin Liuhua cared not even about the barrier before her as she hissed, making as if to dash towards Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Fu Enshu who had a rare downcast look on her face. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, yet could not utter a sound as she could only turn it into a sigh in the end.
Nodding slowly, Yan Zhaoge glanced mildly at Yin Liuhua who was wildly lunging over.
He did not do anything else, just glancing at her.
Yin Liuhua’s movements gradually grew slower and slower, till finally she halted entirely.
Her skin was dyed bloodred as if she was a giant lobster that had just been cooked. This was because all the blood vessels of her entire body had already shattered.
Yin Liuhua wanted to say something, yet could not get the words out of her mouth.
There hadn’t even been a single wound on her body, yet as she opened her mouth as if to speak, all the pores of her entire body simultaneously began spurting out blood.
Her entire person, from the inside to the outside, was all covered in blood.
Yan Zhaoge having glanced at her, she had then become a dead person.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 591: The decisions of the old!
HSSB591: The decisions of the old
With a single glance by Yan Zhaoge, Yin Liuhua turned directly into a person of blood.
Accompanied by the shattering of the blood vessels of her entire body, her life force left her.
Looking at Yin Liuhua, Fu Enshu’s expression was complex.
With her tough, impatient personality, she was exceptionally disappointed with Yin Liuhua, virtually unable to resist the urge to take care of her herself.
Yet, Yin Liuhua having been her disciple before, while she had performed crimes that were punishable by death, Fu Enshu’s heart still inevitably remained a little soft, leaving her despondent.
Having been able to tell this, Yan Zhaoge had been happy to perform the deed on her behalf. He could not be happier getting rid of these traitors who would stab them in the back. These people truly deserved to die, being much more damnable than external enemies.
A figure flickered in the distant horizon, a Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioner arriving. It was the Grand Elder Zhang Kun.
He was also Chang Zheng’s Master.
At the same time, the other Grand Elder He Ning who had originally been recuperating was alerted as well as she hurried over.
Arriving on scene, all they saw were two crimson pools of blood.
Zhang Kun and He Ning looked at all this, somewhat stunned. Elder Qin was silent for a moment before he went over and explained everything to them.
After having learnt of what had happened, the two Grand Elders both felt shocked and disbelieving.
Being greatly experienced people, after having learned the truth regarding Yin Liuhua having maligned Feng Yunsheng, they were really not all that taken aback.
They gradually came to realise that Yin Liuhua and Hong Jiaqi having managed to stir up a storm, Chang Zheng who had been in charge of the investigation must have been accomplice to it as well.
However, never would they have thought that Infinite Boundless Mountain’s Grand Elder, Li Jingtu, had actually been killed by Chang Zheng.
It was precisely thus that Chang Zheng had fallen into Huang Jie’s scheme, all his movements being predicted and manipulated by Huang Jie as he had unwittingly become a puppet and accomplice.
Looking dazedly at the crushed lump of flesh and blood which was all that was left of Chang Zheng, Zhang Kun’s face was pale.
He Ning’s expression was similarly complex as she looked at Zhaoge, “Zhaoge, might there be a misunderstanding here?”
There was insufficient evidence to prove that Chang Zheng had intentionally framed Feng Yunsheng in order to find the Heaven Spying Orb for his own selfish desires.
While much supporting evidence aligned in that direction, properly piecing together the rationale for things, He Ning and Zhang Kun still harboured the slightest of hopes.
Yan Zhaoge calmly glanced at the two old people. How could he not understand what He Ning had not voiced out directly?
Even if Chang Zheng had framed a Broad Creed Mountain disciple out of his own selfish desires, even if he had killed someone of Infinite Boundless Mountain in an attempt to obtain the Heaven Cleaving Axe, as long as he had not been in collusion with the Sacred Sun Clan, only having committed an error on his own, he might not have to be condemned to death.
Even if he was given the death penalty, it should also be decided following the clan’s official trials. Having been directly slain by Yan Zhaoge here, even if he fully deserved it, those conservative old people like He Ning would still be dissatisfied with it.
It was just that the one who had done this was Yan Zhaoge. It was Yan Zhaoge who held up the heavens with one hand, battling and repelling the frenzied tides, achieving impossible miracles.
Thus, He Ning could only feel stifled about it, not being able to directly voice out her complaints.
To old people like her, what was most important to a clan were order and rules.
In the eyes of those like He Ning and Zhang Kun, order and rules were what allowed a clan to flourish for millennia long, because as long as order and rules existed, however low a clan had fallen to, it still wouldn’t actually collapse as the hope of surging back into prominence would still exist for it.
It might not be visible when they were flourishing, but it was quintessential.
He Ning did not have any negative opinions about Yan Zhaoge. This youth was too outstanding, far surpassing them old people. Yan Zhaoge’s current accomplishments might already be heights that they would never be able to reach in their entire lifetimes.
However, the more this was so, the more she was afraid that Yan Zhaoge might commit a mistake.
This youth liked taking risks too much, yet a single step wrong and he might never be able to redeem himself.
Meeting He Ning’s gaze, Yan Zhaoge felt what she was thinking.
Without saying anything further, Yan Zhaoge turned to look at the Northern Ocean Clone, who opened his palm. Light flickered, a person landing on the ground.
Zhang Kun, He Ning, Fu Enshu and Elder Qin looked over together. They all basically recognised this person to be a longtime Elder of the Sacred Sun Clan.
&n
bsp; It was just that this old man was currently looking defeated beyond compare as he lacked all of his former arrogance and spirit.
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “Tell me again what I asked you about earlier. The Sacred Sun Clan’s Meng Wan-what is her current situation?”
That longtime Elder raised his head, his gaze sweeping across Zhang Kun, He Ning, Fu Enshu and Elder Qin as he drew back the corners of his mouth, “There is already no further meaning in saying this. Someone from the World beyond Worlds directly brought Meng Wan away along with the Extreme Yin Crown. There can no longer be a Seventh Extreme Yin Bout.”
“However, even if there was the Seventh Extreme Yin Bout, Meng Wan had already been sufficiently prepared for it. She has already recovered from her previous injuries sustained at the East Sea, being confident of suppressing the other Maidens of Extreme Yin once more, the sole exception…”
This Sacred Sun Clan longtime Elder glanced at Feng Yunsheng, his gaze rather complex as well, “The sole person she might not be able to defeat would be Feng Muge.”
The gazes of Zhang Kun and He Ning grew serious as they looked at the other party.
Elder Qin knit his brows slightly, “So quickly? She was injured even more gravely at the East Sea this time than she was before the Second Extreme Yin Bout.”
Those of Broad Creed Mountain exchanged looks, their faces all sinking.
Actually, just thinking a little would lead to the deduction that before having decided to guide the people of the Radiant Light Sect in descending to the Eight Extremities World, since the Sacred Sun Clan had schemed against Feng Yunsheng to secure the Extreme Yin Crown, there must be the precondition that aside from Feng Yunsheng, they saw no other candidate who might possibly be able to stand against Meng Wan in the Seventh Extreme Yin Bout.
This included Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Fan Qiu and Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting.
Yan Zhaoge said nothing at all, but Zhang Kun felt a fiery feeling of embarrassment flare on his face.
He suddenly realised that it was not just Chang Zheng’s reactions and actions that had been within the calculations of the Sacred Sun Clan’s Huang Jie. The thinking of the moderate, conservative elderly faction that he and He Ning belonged to had similarly been in line with Huang Jie’s scheme.
In order to seek stability, being uncertain on whether Feng Yunsheng was a spy of the Sacred Sun Clan, they had decided to simply give up on the upcoming Extreme Yin Bout, giving the chance to Fan Qiu of Turbid Wave Pavilion.
From a certain perspective, while there had not been any interaction or secret manipulation going on, just like Chang Zheng, Zhang Kun and the others had all been moving in accordance to Huang Jie’s schemes, assisting him in accomplishing his goal.
If the Sacred Sun Clan had come up with a way in their research over this period of time to deal with the Seal of the East Sea, they would not have led the Radiant Light Sect experts in descending into this world.
And in the upcoming Seventh Extreme Yin Bout, Feng Yunsheng being unable to participate due to their clan while Meng Wan had fully recovered, the result then would be another one-sided suppression. The Extreme Yin Crown would still stably remain in the Sacred Sun Clan’s hands, all going as planned by the Sacred Sun Clan’s Huang Jie.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression was calm and gentle as he did not try to domineeringly blame them at all. However, Zhang Kun and He Ning both fell silent, finding themselves unable to speak against Yan Zhaoge having directly slain Chang Zheng.
There seemed to be endless questioning voices drowning their ears.
Seeking stability, seeking stability. Stable to the end, and this is the end you stably get?
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 592: The entire world is shaken
HSSB592: The entire world is shaken
Looking at that Sacred Sun Clan longtime Elder in front of her, He Ning finally sighed and shook her head, a pondering expression on her face as she did not speak for a long time.
Zhang Kun remained silent, his expression complex as he was left only with a sense of loss.
Elder Qin came up and asked, “The Radiant Light Sect of the World beyond Worlds sent down five Martial Saint experts this time. While they were all slain within the Eight Extremities World, might they still be sending any reinforcements over?”
Yan Zhaoge did not continue with the earlier topic as he said, “In having gone to the World Illuminating Peak in pursuit just now, that was one of my reasons for it.”
“The Sacred Sun Clan’s connection with the World beyond Worlds has already been terminated for the moment. Still, with the strength of the Radiant Light Sect and its wide depth of knowledge, having descended into the Eight Extremities World before, if they have the intention to, they should be able to accurately pinpoint the Eight Extremities World with some effort, descending once more on their own accord.”
Yan Zhaog raised his brows slightly, “Their men that descended this time round may only be the tip of the iceberg.”
This judgment was made with the person of the Radiant Light Sect who had nearly descended and unleashed a full-powered strike at the World Illuminating Peak with Huang Jie’s assistance as the basis. Huang Jie had called him Master.
If he was the strongest expert of the Radiant Light Sect, the situation would still be a little better. If the Radiant Light Sect had even stronger experts, the bar for the approximate strength of the Radiant Light Sect would have to be raised even higher.
Hearing his words, everyone’s expressions turned grave, Zhang Kun and He Ning feeling worried as well.
Things having come to this point, the enmity between their clan and the Radiant Light Sect of the World beyond Worlds would already be irreconcilable. They could only try to think of a way to deal with it.
He Ning frowned, “While those who descend from the World beyond Worlds will not be any stronger than the third level of the Martial Saint realm, if many of them descend all at once, it would similarly be a disaster.”
Yan Zhaoge agreed deeply with this.
His earlier rampage where he had obtained a complete victory had not rushed to his head.
While the Extreme Yang Seal was extremely powerful, the depletion from using it was great as well, and there was only a single strike which was possible. After having used it, it would descend into slumber once more, and he would not be able to rouse it awake for a very long period of time.
Meanwhile, the qi of extermination from the Myriad Dragon Palace had been single use only, no longer existing following that previous eruption.
Still, with the problem of the qi of extermination having been resolved, he would be able to freely use the obtained qi of true dragons to increase the strength of his clan.
It was just that refining the dragon qi for their own use would require a process, would require time.
Yan Zhaoge’s mind was currently very calm.
Considering Deng Sen whose cultivation base had been restricted by the power of dimensions, there were three experts of the third level of the Martial Saint realm who had descended this time.
What if there were eight or ten of them next time, or even more?
Of course, it was not like there was no way out of this. For example, if his father, Yan Di, was able to break through into the second level of the Martial Saint realm within a short period of time, things then would be much better.
If Yan Di reached the third level of the Martial Saint realm, Yan Zhaoge believed that it wouldn’t matter no matter how many experts of the same cultivation level descended.
As for Yan Zhaoge himself, if he had sufficient time, accompanied by the improvements in his cultivation base, he wouldn’t fear their foes as well.
Now, they needed time as well as opportunities.
Yan Zhaoge said, “In the World beyond Worlds, there doesn’t merely exist the Radiant Light Sect. They have their own hated enemies as well. The Radiant Light Sect does have worries of its own, and it can be defeated.”
He took out the
paper fan that he had obtained in the dragon tomb, opening the fan and showing its surface to everyone.
“Dim Darkness Sect…” Feng Yunsheng, Fu Enshu and the others exchanged looks.
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That’s right, the Dim Darkness Sect. When I obtained this fan, some of the will of the original owner still remained within it. His final regret at the end was that he could not see the Radiant Light Sect extinguished.”
“From his tone and the contents of his words, both sides are irrevocable enemies, and the relationship between them definitely cannot be repaired. Even if the Dim Darkness Sect cannot defeat the Radiant Light Sect, it should still be an organisation at the same level of power as it.”
Hearing his words, everyone pondered, Elder Qin saying, “You mean that we should think of a way to establish contact with the Dim Darkness Sect, getting them to help us resist the Radiant Light Sect?”
“Yes, and also no,” Yan Zhaoge said, “How can borrowing power be so easy? Even if we want to do so, they’ve also got to be willing.”
“While the Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect are hated enemies, it does not mean that the Dim Darkness Sect will definitely help us if the Radiant Light Sect wants to deal with us.”
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The necessary precondition for this is that a vast difference in strength does not exist between us as we are more or less on the same level.”
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, “Otherwise, if we just randomly look for them, they would only treat us lightly or even completely ignore us. They might even eye our treasures like the Radiant Light Sect.”
“Still, the relationship between them being so terrible, also being massive entities of the same level, if an intense battle erupts between them, it would be very hard for the Radiant Light Sect to find trouble for us. After all, we are also not that easy to deal with.”
Yan Zhaoge folded the fan with a ‘clack’, “This fan is made of the Divine Wood of legend. Using this treasure, even before having reached the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, one would still be able to ascend to the World beyond Worlds.”
