Far from the capital city of Jingyang in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, on a hill, several figures stood quietly, gazing at Jingyang City.

The sunlight fell upon them, making their golden robes even more dazzling.

The leading figure was a middle-aged man, the Elder of the Great Sun Sacred Sect and one of the Seven Sons of the Great Sun, Lord Dongsheng.

Beside Lord Dongsheng stood an elderly man in a golden robe, the chief elder of the Great Sun Sacred Sect in the Eastern Tang region. There were also other martial artists from the Great Sun Sacred Sect.

In the middle of the group stood a young man in white, with a thick beard, looking bold and unrestrained, but his eyes were full of cold, snake-like light.

The young man's face was still somewhat pale, and his gaze towards Jingyang City was filled with resentment.

He was, of course, Xiao Sheng.

At this moment, his hatred for Yan Zhaoge was no less than his hatred for Feng Yunsheng.

Not only had the other party defeated him and made him lose face, but he had also publicly announced that Feng Yunsheng had injured his private parts in front of everyone.

Xiao Sheng's face had been completely torn to shreds.

The news of his injury by Feng Yunsheng had been kept under wraps, and even within the Great Sun Sacred Sect, only a few people knew the details.

Now, everyone knew.

Although no one was looking at him, Xiao Sheng felt as if the surroundings were filled with contemptuous and mocking gazes, making him feel like sitting on pins and needles.

This anxiety and shame turned entirely into hatred, all focused on Yan Zhaoge.

The elderly man in the golden robe turned to look at Lord Dongsheng: "We should notify the sect to send more experts; we can't just let this go."

"Meng Wan lost the Taiyin Crown last year, and the Sect Master has been in seclusion. It seems some people have forgotten that the Great Sun Sacred Sect is the number one holy land in the world today!"

"So what if the Eastern Tang Kingdom is in the Heavenly Domain? As long as our sect is willing, we can crush them."

Only he could say such words. If anyone else said it, it would be suspected of questioning Lord Dongsheng's ability, which would make Lord Dongsheng unhappy.

Lord Dongsheng stood there, not making any grand gestures, yet he seemed as dazzling as the sun.

He quietly looked at the distant Jingyang City: "How are the preparations we made earlier?"

The elderly man in the golden robe slowly shook his head: "They are not yet thorough enough."

Lord Dongsheng said: "We are not fully prepared, and neither is Guangcheng Mountain."

"But this time, the abnormality at Zhenlong Abyss can make up for our shortcomings and give us a chance to succeed."

The elderly man in the golden robe's spirit was lifted: "That's true."

Lord Dongsheng turned to look at Xiao Sheng: "Regardless of other factors, it doesn't seem too difficult for Yan Zhaoge to defeat you, does it?"

"I am inferior," Xiao Sheng took a deep breath and answered with difficulty.

Lord Dongsheng looked back at Jingyang City: "You are one realm higher and still inferior. If you were at the same realm, the result might not be much better than Yuan Long's."

Xiao Sheng clenched his fists and lowered his head.

Lord Dongsheng said indifferently: "In that case, I seem to see another Zhan Dongge, another Yan Di, and perhaps even more potential."

"Such a good seed is truly a pity, and it has appeared in Guangcheng Mountain."

"It would be best to deal with him before he grows up."

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng's breathing became rapid, but Lord Dongsheng did not turn around: "Be patient. You might have the chance to personally kill Yan Zhaoge and avenge yourself."

"I would be more than happy to kill Yan Zhaoge myself," Xiao Sheng said softly, his breathing becoming steady.

...

Yan Zhaoge bid farewell to Zhao Shicheng, left the courtyard, and saw Ah Hu waiting there.

Ah Hu walked up and smiled naively: "Young Master, how did it go?"

Yan Zhaoge shrugged: "Feng Shimei will be sent back to the sect, and we will stay here. I still have some things to do."

"As for Lin Shimei's matter, neither I nor Yan Xu will interfere. Yan Xu will hand over what he has, but I don't think he will give up."

Yan Zhaoge then instructed: "Ah Hu, pay attention to the public opinion regarding Lin Shimei's death. If there are any changes, notify me immediately."

Ah Hu scratched his head: "Young Master, what kind of changes?"

"The current public opinion is that Lin Shimei was jealous and纠缠我，被我一时不耐烦失手打死。" Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes: "如果风向变成，林师妹对叶景余情未了，重投叶景怀抱，我愤怒之下将她打死，那就说明一件事……"

"严旭，他可能找到叶景了。"

"传播这种谣言固然会毁我的名声，但触及不到我的根本，传播谣言只是一重铺垫。"

Yan Zhaoge said calmly: "我有种感觉，严旭这次……恐怕是想让我永远回不了山门。"

Ah Hu stopped smiling, his expression became serious: "他想杀你？"

"可是为什么？没有理由啊，你给他几次难堪，他纵使恼怒，应该还不至于生出杀心吧？"

"毕竟你和一般的晚辈弟子可不同。难道说是方长老……"

Yan Zhaoge pondered and said: "不是二师伯的意思，应该是严旭自己的想法，或许是我的错觉，但这次林师妹之死，严旭的表现有些怪。"

Ah Hu said solemnly: "他疯了？这已经突破底线了。"

"你现在展现的潜力，已经凌驾同辈人，方长老那边很难拿出跟你抗衡的晚辈弟子。"

"你出了事，别说家主，老掌门都不会放过他！"

Yan Zhaoge said indifferently: "他当然不会自己背锅了，那叶景，正是他最好的替罪羔羊。"

Ah Hu sneered, opening his big mouth: "就凭叶景那小子，能杀你？"

Yan Zhaoge spread his hands: "这不刚刚又把大日圣宗的人得罪惨了吗？更何况还有赤灵旗主，还有那与叶景有关的鬼斧老人。"

"我死在那些大宗师手上，自然是最完美的结果。"

"如果需要严旭亲自动手，上述那些大宗师随便谁都有能力有动机将我重伤，可以被他拿来遮掩，然后让叶景补刀给我最后一下。"

"严旭想要杀我，比这些外面的大宗师要容易多了。"

"秦长老来了，抵挡住了大日圣宗的人，但反过来大日圣宗的人也拖住了秦长老的注意力。"

"那严旭，因此有了活动的空间。"

Ah Hu said seriously: "公子，我郑重建议你和封姑娘一起直接回山门。"

Yan Zhaoge took a deep breath, hands behind his back, and smiled as he walked: "Ah Hu, to be honest, I have been seriously considering your suggestion from just now."

"But not for my own safety, but to ensure that those around me are not implicated."

"From my own perspective..." Yan Zhaoge's smile gradually turned cold: "If Yan Xu doesn't move against me, I would still want to move against him!"

"Unlike Wen Ning and Cui Xin before, it's not easy to take out a chief elder."

Yan Zhaoge chuckled: "But conversely, taking out a chief elder would be a loss to the Second Master and the others that cannot be compared to just two enforcers."

Ah Hu blinked: "Young Master, you're playing with fire, you might burn yourself."

Yan Zhaoge smiled indifferently: "Is there anything in this world without risk?"

Soon, the high-level experts from Guangcheng Mountain also arrived in Jingyang City.

After further discussions, Yan Zhaoge ultimately stayed in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, while Feng Yunsheng returned to Guangcheng Mountain with the others.

"Go back and take good care of your injuries, and be well-prepared. When I return to the mountain, your nightmare will begin," Yan Zhaoge smiled at Feng Yunsheng. "What awaits you will be far more arduous than you can imagine."

Feng Yunsheng raised an eyebrow and smiled: "How arduous?"

Yan Zhaoge snapped his fingers: "Probably... you'll feel that being chased by the Great Sun Sacred Sect was actually quite easy."
