Master of Strange Dao

撑不死就是为所欲为.

"As long as you don't die from overstuffing, you can do whatever you want."

"Cece, you stay behind and keep an eye on things."

...

When he returned home, Old Yang and the village chief had already set up a grand setting, waiting for him to come back and talk about it.

With a big shot roughly equal to Ninth Tier Body Cultivation following him, they naturally weren't worried about any danger.

However, earlier, all the hungry ghosts in the hundreds of miles of locust forest surrounding Jinlan Mountain suddenly rioted. One black vortex after another appeared, and those hungry ghosts rushed in like mad, scaring Old Yang and the others out of their wits.

Yet Old Yang didn't dare to contact Yu Ziqing immediately, fearing he'd mess things up if Yu Ziqing was busy.

"Go ahead, tell us what's going on exactly?"

The village chief sat there grandly, even poured Yu Ziqing a cup of tea.

"I just went to deliver something, then met King Xiang, chatted a bit, and happened to find a large number of evil demons and devils there. So, naturally, I had to lead the hungry ghosts for a feast and, incidentally, do a good deed by wiping out the devils."

With the village chief present, Yu Ziqing didn't make it too complicated.

The village chief looked at Wu Shuangge, who had become as round as a ball, and believed what was said.

"Did Old Emperor Zhen come?" Old Yang asked.

"He did. I had the hungry ghosts help build a house, and he stayed outside the north of the locust forest. He thought he might still give birth to Devil Thoughts, so he didn't want to come inside. Of course, I also think it might have something to do with his status."

"Let him come if he wants to. Old Emperor Zhen is no big deal, as long as no one knows it's him. He can stay as long as he likes."

"In the future, when you have nothing to do, you can chat with him. Now, he only has one right leg and has taken the name You Zhen, so don't call him Old Emperor Zhen anymore."

"I understand."

The village chief wasn't focused on these, he concentrated on something else.

"This time when you're back, how long can you sit still in the nest?"

"..." Yu Ziqing was a bit embarrassed.

"Hmph, I knew it."

"It's not that I don't want to stay longer, but there are other things. Earlier, in the Sorrow Cave Heaven, I saw the skeletons of two predecessors from the Feng and Yin Two Families, as well as some other bones that can't be identified.

Those unidentified ones, we don't even know if they were from Dazhen or Dali, should either be buried somewhere, or returned to Dazhen or Dali.

Back then, the two predecessors from the Feng and Yin Two Families sacrificed their lives to prevent the rampant Heavenly Demons and chaotic devils. Without those two predecessors leaving behind the True Name of the Heavenly Demon, it would have been quite troublesome this time.

Moreover, the two left words on their deathbeds, wanting someone to return the Jade Scroll transformed from their life's Heart Blood to the Feng and Yin families.

Whether it's out of respect for those two predecessors or other reasons, reasonably speaking, even if it wasn't about the Jade Scroll, I must return those two predecessors' remains so they can rest in peace."

These words left the old village chief with nothing to say.

"Well, the reasoning is certainly right, so be it, you decide for yourself."

As people get old, they naturally care most about what comes after their time. If he were to die in a foreign land, his greatest wish would certainly be to return home.

Yu Ziqing wanted to do the right thing, and he had no reason to stop him.

Yu Ziqing glanced at Old Yang.

"Where are the Feng and Yin Two Families? It shouldn't be a secret, right?"

"It really isn't a secret. Forget the Yin Family, it's on an island in the East Sea, and you would have to traverse all of Dali, or go from Daqian, which is quite dangerous.

It's better to go to the Feng Family, not far from the Wilderness, in the west of Dali, at Fengyu Mountain. Once there, hand over a visiting card, and someone from the Feng Family will contact you.

They've been intermarrying for generations, so whichever family you deliver it to is the same.

Um, you'd better send them a message first, to let them know."

Old Yang took out a Communication Flying Sword, carved a few runes on it, and handed it to Yu Ziqing.

"Notify them first, your trip will be much safer. There's no absolute necessity; nobody dares to fatally offend these two families."

"Got it."

Yu Ziqing was transporting the remains, along with the Heart Blood Jade Scroll. Anyone who interfered with him on the road would be making mortal enemies of the Feng and Yin Two Families.

Yu Ziqing quickly wrote a sincere letter and sent it out using the Communication Flying Sword.

A few days later, he received a reply.

"The Feng and Yin Two Families will sweep the threshold to welcome you, eagerly awaiting your arrival."

It was very polite, signed by the current Family Head of the Feng Family, Feng Buju.

The sealing secret technique of these two families had a long tradition, and what they valued most was the completeness of the heritage. Losing two Dao Cultivators and all their life's Heart Blood was a very significant loss to the two families.

Fortunately, they always had a rule that family members couldn't take the family's classics out when traveling, to prevent them from being lost outside and forgotten.

Otherwise, after the fall of those two big figures, the loss would be much greater.

Yu Ziqing set off without bringing anyone; the two he often took along had both become round as balls, unable to digest their power, so he decided against it.

Riding on a Flying Boat, just as he entered the territory of Dali, he saw six Flying Boats hovering in the air. One person flew out and ceremoniously greeted him from afar.

"Excuse me, are you Young Master Qing Ziyu of Jinlan Mountain?"

Yu Ziqing reciprocated the gesture from afar.

"Yes, it is I. May I ask how I should address you, senior?"

"I am Feng Butong. Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Qing. Just follow us; the family members have been waiting for some time."

"Please come aboard first, there's something I'd like you to see."

When Feng Butong boarded the Flying Boat, Yu Ziqing led him into the cabin.

Inside were two coffins.
