Master of Strange Dao

After Feng Buju arrived, even with the physician brought by King Xiang, they still couldn't find a way to detoxify. They only gave them some Spiritual Medicine to strengthen their bodies, allowing them to muster a little energy, so it wouldn't be too difficult to sit up.

When they entered the Grotto Heaven and began their daily cultivation, the poison had already merged into their strength, indistinguishable from one another. Moreover, the poison wasn't a potent toxin; it only acted up once it accumulated to a certain extent.

Almost everyone in the entire Grotto Heaven had been affected.

And this was something more feared than the Abyssal Rift.

Poisoning the Spiritual Energy.

Especially in enclosed places like Grotto Heavens, where all the circulation almost stays within. If it's large enough, it's fine, but if the Grotto Heaven isn't big enough, the dosage required for poisoning is much less, and the cost is also much less.

All major forces; none would dare step out without a decent cave heaven blessed land.

Some of the more important things were all hidden within the Grotto Heaven; it's harder to be spied upon that way and also safer.

But after this incident, many people would probably be on edge.

Poisoning the Spiritual Energy within the Grotto Heaven, and then expanding the Abyssal Rift, exposing two things at once, is just to make the Yin Family's people unseal something unknown.

Then, those people either believed it was worth doing so.

Or, they thought they wouldn't be exposed and never intended to leave the Yin Family people alive; once the matter was over, they would kill them all to silence them.

Killing to silence in the Abyss and then quietly dealing with the subsequent loose ends would make this case one of many unsolved mysteries.

To be honest, if it weren't for the odd Devil beside Yu Ziqing, even if someone got lucky, searched thoroughly, exhausted every effort, and finally found some clues leading to the Abyss,

by then, they'd probably only find a pile of bones, if even that. They might not even find dry bones at all.

Yu Ziqing didn't think his contribution was very significant this time. He was very aware that saving the Yin Family this time relied heavily on luck.

And what lay ahead was more challenging.

The cave was either very deep, with other forces interfering, and that's why the people below hadn't detected the events above in time.

Or there simply might not be particularly strong experts there.

Yu Ziqing could only assume for now that it was the former.

The head of the Yin Family, along with the masters skilled in sealing, wouldn't face any life-threatening dangers before the seal was undone.

According to Yu Ziqing's estimate, those people wouldn't even let them know the Yin Family had been rescued.

After waiting for several days, Yang arrived with Wu Shuangge, descending on a white cloud from the sky.

Yu Ziqing didn't rush Wu Shuangge to attempt detoxifying the Yin Family.

The Yin Family members were temporarily out of danger, but Yu Ziqing always felt that there were internal problems within their family, or else there wouldn't be so many snitches.

There must be snitches that hadn't been weeded out yet among those already poisoned.

They were about to head to the Abyss again, and the experts stationed here would likely go with them.

Therefore, not everyone in the Yin Family could be detoxified, including Yin Busi; Yu Ziqing didn't trust him either.

Now Yu Ziqing wanted to wait and see, to observe whether anyone would act out of impatience after they went to the Abyss.

In a simple Formation, Yang and Yu Ziqing sat opposite each other.

"Why is it that every time you go out, you stir up so much trouble?" Yang sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"You think I want to stir things up? It's others causing trouble, blocking my path, but only getting discovered by me. I wish I could cultivate comfortably to the Ninth Tier Body Cultivation without any disturbances."

Yu Ziqing rolled his eyes; how is there a day in this world without incidents? It just happened to involve them this time.

"I want to ask you something. I've been preoccupied with it, unable to eat or sleep."

"Go ahead."

"Is there a Dharma Method that can make a person's facial features disappear?"

"Hm?" Yang's expression tightened. "What did you encounter?"

"After I returned from exploring that Abyssal Rift, shortly after, the first to come here to investigate was a person with no facial features. However, his perception was very keen. I merely glanced at him with my peripheral vision, and he seemed to sense the prying immediately.

I pretended to leave, then reappeared, trying to fish him out, but I ignored him.

After he'd gone, slowly, my impression of him began to fade away. Now, I can only remember such a person because I've been thinking about it every day.

But my impression of him remains only as a blank face, like a piece of white paper, with nothing else.

At that time, I thought he was one of Dazhen's Faceless Men, but I asked King Xiang.

King Xiang said the Faceless Man has nothing to do with the literal meaning and there's no such thing as a Faceless Dharma Method."

Yang's face turned grim, looking rather displeased.

"Dazhen's Faceless Men indeed have no connection to a Faceless Dharma Method. Dazhen's Faceless Men rely on masks; once someone becomes a Faceless Man, they never remove the mask again.

As long as they wear the mask, their identity is only the Faceless Man, making it difficult for outsiders to trace their previous identity.

But there's one thing King Xiang surely doesn't know, the Dharma Method used in refining those masks is precisely the kind of Faceless Dharma Method you mentioned.

The number of people within the Faceless Men who know about this is probably just a handful."

"There really is such a Dharma Method?" Yu Ziqing had a look of realization on his face.
