Master of Strange Dao

It was not advisable to stay together for long.

If it were only about marriage, it might be okay since once married, one was considered part of the other family.

The most recent example of the two families sealing together for a long time was the two Dao Cultivators from the Lihuo Institute.

Those two did not meet a good end; they untimely died on their journey before even entering Dao.

Not only the Feng family but also the Yin family felt that this coincided with the ancestral warning.

Therefore, the Yin family's temporary relocation this time was not interfered with by the Feng family, and they did not move too close to the Feng family, nor did they enter the Dali territory.

Thus, it was only some time ago that Feng Buju discovered something unusual.

After all, when the Yin family relocated, Feng Buju had been informed, and everything seemed to be going smoothly at that time.

"Where did they move to, if it's convenient to say?"

"At this point, there's nothing inconvenient about it. They moved to a peninsula on the easternmost part of Dazhen, but now everyone is missing."

Yu Ziqing thought for a moment and began to understand.

"Do you need me to find someone to help investigate?"

"I'd appreciate it."

"No worries, I am indeed more convenient here."

If Feng Buju sought help from someone in Dazhen, no one would refuse.

Yet, since Feng Buju had spoken up, anyone would know the situation was a bit serious.

Considering the relationship between their two families, as close as sharing trousers, would they really need outsiders to help?

If Yu Ziqing went to find someone to ask, no one would suspect. In this world, there were more people wanting help from the Feng and Yin Two Families than pigs waiting for slaughter in a slaughterhouse; Yu Ziqing was not one too many.

"I don't know the specifics right now, but I certainly can't openly search for them, and the Feng family can't move casually either. If they did, it might only lead to a bad outcome.

At least we must wait until we have some clues before deciding whether to act."

"No worries, I understand, You Zhen's matter is not urgent, anyway, he doesn't mind waiting a year or two. I'll go ask around first."

"If you meet anyone from the Yin family, show them the token of our Feng family, and they will trust you."

Feng Buju said as he handed a Jade Scroll to Yu Ziqing.

"It records some information about the Yin family and some of the formerly Sealed Items, which might help."

Understanding the priorities of the matter, Yu Ziqing left the Feng family directly.

If the Yin family encountered trouble, they wouldn't leave no trace or clue at all.

If it was caused by someone, capable of making the entire Yin family disappear without a trace, their power must indeed be extraordinary.

Feng Buju was right not to act rashly because if mishandled, it might push the adversary into a corner, endangering the Yin family members.

Though the combined force of the Feng and Yin Two Families was not as strong as some great powers, as an ancient, typical neutral force, they had always maintained good relations over time.

On the surface, these two families never had enemies.

Yu Ziqing pondered again and again, perceiving that only one possibility remained.

Someone intended to seal something or to break a seal, and it was something to which the Yin family would undoubtedly say no.

So, during the Yin family's relocation, when they were busiest and most prone to problems, the adversary took them away.

Using the lives of their clansmen to force the Yin family to do something.

If there were no external changes, the other party might not be in a rush and could take their time.

If the Feng family discovered it and began a large-scale search for the Yin family members or even mobilized the Feng family's connections, then it might turn into a big problem.

Feng Buju probably also had this consideration, hence the slight hesitance.

After all, when looking for people from their two families, it usually came down to those few matters.

Yu Ziqing left the Feng family and quietly arrived at Dazhen.

As he walked along the road, he contemplated whether to seek help from King Xiang or the Lei Clan.

After thinking it over, King Xiang seemed more reliable.

That fellow might be an oblivious prince, but he was still quite reliable in other respects.

Moreover, if King Xiang searched for the Yin family, even if someone found out, it would be reasonable.

That man was crazy, single-minded in saving his father, known to the world, and if he did not seek the Feng or Yin families, that would be bizarre.

Yu Ziqing quietly arrived in Dazhen, heading north along the Hengduan Mountains, avoiding attention.

Arriving at King Xiang's domain, close to the city, he was finally noticed.

King Xiang, that fellow, indeed reliable in some matters, as soon as he noticed Yu Ziqing's journey along the Hengduan Mountains, immediately dispatched people to erase Yu Ziqing's traces and brought him to an estate outside the city.

Less than half a day later, King Xiang arrived at the estate, pulling Yu Ziqing directly into a secret chamber.

"Brother Qing, is there something wrong with my father?"

"No, but it's related."

"Brother Qing, please tell me what I need to do." King Xiang responded straightforwardly, readily accepting the matter.

"There has been progress with your father's matter, relatively smooth so far, with two parts already handled, as you know. But afterward, some issues arose, drawing attention to it; thus, we had to temporarily pause."

"I understand. My father repeatedly reminded me to stay calm and not be impatient."

"Originally, the plan was to head elsewhere, but when the Yin family encountered trouble, I couldn't ignore our own matters and had to address the Yin family's issue first. You should understand that back then, for some other sections that were sealed, it was impossible to bypass the Feng and Yin Two Families. Among them, two parts involved the Yin family."

"I understand," King Xiang's face turned solemn. "But could someone also be concerning themselves with my father's affair..."
