Master of Strange Dao

Now, it could be confirmed that another matter, the Jade Tomb, seemed to have recovered a little bit.

From a purely jadeized tomb, it started to have a faint awareness akin to instinct, could heed advice, knew to be afraid, and could make choices. Just this step alone had already left all other similar entities far behind.

This was its great opportunity, and it wanted to seize it, which was understandable. If everyone could achieve mutual benefit, it would be the best.

At least, at this stage, Jinlan Mountain still needed the existence of the Jade Tomb.

For health, for cultivating Jinlan Mushrooms, for creating a Forbidden Land, everything needed it.

However, this need, ever since Yang transformed into a dragon and brought back the corpse of a Ninth Tier Evil Dragon, made the foundation of the village chief more stable and his power more terrifying. This was not something absolutely necessary anymore.

If that thing didn't know what was good for it, next time it wouldn't just be Yu Ziqing used to scare it.

Digging it out and throwing it into the Void, cutting off its fate, allowing it no opportunity for eternal recovery was just the lowest of methods.

...

"Are you sure? Did you hear this again?"

Yu Ziqing frowned slightly, looking at the Deceitful Ghost in front of him.

"Sure, very sure. I heard that, 1,800 miles to the south, there's a small volcano gathering a large number of Red Sky Devils and Yellow Sky Devils.

Things have been quite chaotic here lately. It's said that a White Sky Devil King went mad before and dared to break into the Nu River of the Black Sky Devil Mother.

He was caught and dragged into the Nu River by the Black Sky Devil Mother, and even now, his screams could be heard daily, making it unbearable to listen to.

Then, the territory of the White Sky Devil was coveted by other devils, and they started fighting vigorously.

The south also, somehow, got into a fight..." The Deceitful Ghost vowed, as if he saw it with his own eyes.

"There's no Devil incursion here, right?"

"No, there's not. Those guys have a mutual understanding. As long as we don't go out, they won't come to provoke anyone. They fight around here, but they don't give us any chance..." The Deceitful Ghost sighed, his face full of regret.

After all, the hungry ghosts were keen to tear apart some devils, though slightly weaker than Devil Thoughts and worse than Devils. At least they could fill their bellies.

Unfortunately, after the situation stabilized, they didn't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble.

If they took the initiative to attack, it might unintentionally become a war between the hungry ghosts and the devils.

They were still too weak, and they needed to slowly get stronger.

And another reason, they didn't want to rashly cause trouble for Yu Ziqing.

Moreover, they were too full from what they ate last time, leading to a long absence of appetite.

"Well then, if you find nothing, keep gathering information thoroughly and slowly strengthen yourself. Except for devils breaking into here, ignore everything else and let them fight amongst themselves."

After chatting with the Deceitful Ghost for a few moments, Yu Ziqing turned around to catch devils.

It seemed that the previous chaos had made the place much more chaotic, but chaos was chaos, as it was still devils killing each other.

What he did now was also a matter between devils, having nothing to do with outsiders.

As long as no one saw through him, he was a Black Sky Devil.

Driving all the way to the place mentioned by the Deceitful Ghost, the task of capturing Red Sky Devils and Yellow Sky Devils went smoothly.

These devils were practically fighting fiercely, and no one cared about anything else.

But, just as he headed back, passing by a mountain range, Yu Ziqing made another discovery.

He saw a person walking out from the mountain range.

That person wore a beast-skin cloak reeking of Demonic Qi, wrapping its aura inside entirely.

As soon as Yu Ziqing saw him, that person immediately turned around and glanced in this direction.

Yu Ziqing acted decisively, pursuing the devil transformed by Lou Huai, who swiftly fled, while Yu Ziqing chased behind.

The person in the distance just glanced, then shifted his gaze to scan the surroundings.

Within a radius of several miles, no less than a dozen groups of devils were fighting, with even more operating alone.

The person did not dare cause much more trouble, only tightening his beast-skin cloak and continuing onward.

Moments later, Yu Ziqing and Lou Huai returned, staring at that mountain range for a moment.

"Did you remember that person's appearance and aura?"

"His appearance was fake. He hadn't gone Devilic, nor did he have Devil Thought. I only noted the aura of that cloak, probably made from the hide of some Black Sky Devil."

Yu Ziqing was somewhat surprised. Besides him, there were others running into the Abyss.

Without going Devilic, yet daring to sneak in here, weren't they afraid that a fight would reveal their identity to the devils immediately?

"Let's go have a look."

Fully going Devilic, with the added disguise of a Black Sky Devil's aura, Yu Ziqing and Lou Huai confidently walked on the desolate land, without arousing any suspicion among passing devils.

Traversing from another direction into the mountain range, bypassing the place where that person emerged.

Lou Huai sniffed his nose all the way, following the lingering aura to a small valley deep in the mountain range, where they found a small rift.

The rift was only half a foot wide and barely three or four feet long. Its aura was incredibly weak, even ordinary devils would struggle to detect it.

"Brother, shall we go and see?"

Yu Ziqing thought for a moment, considering that no one knew where such a small Abyssal Rift led.

Since that person was so cautious, it must also have been carefully shielded and concealed.

After thinking over it, Yu Ziqing manifested the aura of a White Sky Devil, floating three feet above the ground, drifting over, while Lou Huai transformed into his devil form and floated after him.
