HSSB776: Forsaking the depraved for the righteous?

Yan Zhaoge was rather familiar with the spiritual qi fluctuations as well as that voice.

He retracted his aura slightly, heading forward as the words instantly became clearer.

“Please do not be so hasty, you two. We have no intention of being enemies with you.”

The speaker was clearly the Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao, the former Chief of the Sacred Sun Clan in the Eight Extremities World.

“It is the Radiant Light Sect that are enemies with the Grand Xuan Dynasty. While we were with the Radiant Light Sect, that was only a temporary measure. In ascending to the World beyond Worlds, we just happened to land within the Radiant Light Sect’s area of influence, thus residing there.”

Zhang Chao’s tone was calm, carrying no rage at all, “You brothers possess a remarkable status in the Grand Xuan Dynasty, surely being privy to much news. We of the Sacred Sun Clan have never directly opposed the Grand Xuan Dynasty or those of your Shenling Ten Swords, no blood debts existing between us.”

Opposite Zhang Chao stood two people, these being the brothers Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan.

They had accompanied their father Kang Ping in the battle which had culminated in the fall of the Radiant Light Sect’s Sun Moon Peak.

They had only eventually lost contact with Kang Ping after having entered the underwater palace.

Traversing the underwater palace, they had not run into Luo Zhiyuan, Gu Hong or Gongsun Wu, instead having encountered Zhang Chao.

Kang Jinyuan’s face was gloomy as he spoke not a word, his entire person seemingly enveloped within a dark shadow.

This was completely unlike his former arrogance where he had seemed to fear nothing at all.

He had been this way ever since his mother, Madame Kang, had faced danger and died.

Sorrow, rage, panic, loss, helplessness- various emotions intermingled within him.

Still, after calming down slightly, he was unable to forget that it was his rashness in using a Blood Incantation Shattering Space Awl which had given Yan Zhaoge a chance in the wound of the sky.

Everything afterwards still had this as the ultimate cause. Without that Blood Incantation Shattering Space Awl, just based on the Blood Devil Plate that Yan Zhaoge possessed alone, it would have been impossible for him to have completed the consequent Blood Devil Sacrificial Ritual as well as Illusory Devil Sacrificial Ritual.

It was precisely because of the awl’s sudden appearance that Yan Zhaoge had decisively reacted to the situation, acting to overcome it as this had resulted in all the events which had hence occurred.

In the end, this had resulted in a situation where only one out of the group from the Radiant Light Sect and Madame Kang and sons could survive, with it even being possible that both might perish.

No one had mentioned this matter, not his father Kang Ping or his elder brother Kang Maosheng to whom he had always felt antagonistic.

Yet, Kang Jinyuan himself just remained unable to forget about it.

Kang Maosheng who stood beside him was just as steady and dependable as always, ever imposing.

However, radiance currently flickered on the Shenmen acupoint on his wrist, resonating with some actual stars in the sky up above as he had shockingly already broken through space to see Divinity, thus stepping into the early Seeing Divinity stage.

He was still extremely young as compared to other martial practitione
