Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing glanced at him sideways, thinking of saying, "Did your intelligence drop? Everything has to do with your father."

The Feng and Yin Two Families, with countless years of accumulation, had sealed many things. Your father's severed limb probably wouldn't even make the top ten.

If someone could bind the people of the Yin Family, why bother dealing with your father's affairs?

Wouldn't it be better to go after something else?

As he spoke, Yu Ziqing took out the jade scroll given by Feng Buju and looked at it.

It recorded many things sealed by the Yin Family, a long list of miscellaneous items.

The remnants of Old Emperor Zhen's body indeed didn't rank in the top few.

After another glance, Yu Ziqing said,

"The Yin Family moved to a peninsula area to the east of Dazhen, you know that, right?"

"I know."

"That's good. Help investigate if there are any clues. Whatever you find, don't act rashly.

You must understand one thing: If something happens to the Yin Family, the whereabouts of your father's other parts might remain unknown.

Be cautious, very cautious."

"Brother Qing, don't worry." King Xiang did not find Yu Ziqing's repeated reminders tedious. He knew all too well about his own nature. He was a poor king indeed, and when it came to matters involving his father, he tended to lose control and act impulsively.

After talking with King Xiang, Yu Ziqing began to study the jade scroll himself.

Feng Buju said that the Yin Family had indeed relocated, leaving behind signs of life, but they suddenly disappeared.

A natural disaster seemed unlikely; it was most likely man-made.

Since no traces could be found, start with the motive.

If someone kidnapped the Yin Family while nothing happened with the Feng Family, then first eliminate the items sealed by the Feng Family.

Next, exclude some items jointly sealed by the two families.

After all, the two families excelled in different things. Some items sealed by the Feng Family might not even be guaranteed to be unsealed by the Yin Family.

Especially those important and troublesome items often sealed jointly by both families, where neither could easily unseal them alone.

That left only the seals done by the Yin Family alone.

Yu Ziqing re-sorted the list from high to low.

This time, things became somewhat obvious.

Old Emperor Zhen's left arm and left leg were on the list.

The rest included an undying primordial spirit of an evil dao cultivator, demonic creatures, dangerous strange items, and even cave heaven blessed lands...

All sorts of chaotic things were present.

Yu Ziqing even saw an imperial jade seal.

The imperial jade seal of the Dadui Divine Dynasty.

A divine dynasty name Yu Ziqing had never heard of.

Nor had he found it in any records or heard Yang mention it.

According to current legends, since ancient times, there had only been Three Divine Dynasties, no fourth.

But Yu Ziqing had always been puzzled; he was too familiar with the country names of Zhen, Li, and Daqian.

It wasn't as if, coincidentally, when they founded their dynasties, they all happened to capture the fortune of the characters in the dark, and all the country names were precisely one of the Eight Diagrams characters.

Now, hearing about a new country name, the Dadui Divine Dynasty, completely resolved Yu Ziqing's confusion.

Perhaps there were once eight divine dynasties spread across the eight directions.

And now, with no records or knowledge of the Dadui Divine Dynasty, it must have been suppressed by the Three Divine Dynasties acting together.

A special family like the Feng Family, which existed since ancient times and still had records, seemed very normal.

From this, Yu Ziqing saw that Feng Buju was indeed somewhat anxious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare record such things and hand them directly to him.

Moreover, it recorded not just the items but also roughly where those things were sealed.

If this jade scroll were ever lost, it would be a major event.

Just like that undying primordial spirit of the evil dao cultivator.

It was from a time long ago, during the transition from the ancient end period to the current era.

That evil dao cultivator practiced with the evil skill, harming countless cultivators, and eventually reaching the ninth tier of qi refinement and the refining god dao, having already surpassed the ninth tier peak and stepping toward the tenth tier.

At that time, the situation was critical, and numerous strong figures from the Three Divine Dynasties united to kill him.

Unfortunately, his primordial spirit was nearly undying, capable of counter-killing three to four ninth-tier cultivators with just his spirit.

The Feng Family didn't arrive in time, and the others couldn't drag it out longer, thus the Yin Family had to act alone, joining various strong figures to seal that evil dao primordial spirit.

They attempted to slowly dissipate it with the power of time.

This section was more detailed, while the imperial jade seal of the Dadui Divine Dynasty wasn't as elaborately explained.

Yu Ziqing only knew that the former territories of the Dadui Divine Dynasty were in the southern part of today's wilderness, extending further south, encompassing part of the Silver Lake Forbidden Land, and even parts of the western Daqian Divine Dynasty.

These were the key targets.

It was very likely that someone kidnapped the Yin Family for these reasons.

Days later, King Xiang returned to the villa.

His face looked somewhat grim.

"My men investigated, and I went personally as well. I did find some issues."

"Speak slowly."

"The Yin Family was absolutely forced to leave. If I didn't have ninth-tier strength, I might not have discovered anything.

Before the Yin Family entered, someone had already set something up there.

Someone poisoned the spiritual energy in that grotto heaven, and it had been there a long time, the poison completely integrated with the spiritual energy, making it extremely difficult to detect.

I personally tested it, and simply being there, cultivating within, would silently result in poisoning.
