Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing did not rush to take action; he wanted to wait for Feng Buju to arrive first.

Moreover, if there were other methods, he did not want to use such a devastating weapon.

One misstep, and it would burn all, both those who deserved to die and those who didn't, to death.

Now, he was not afraid of being burned to death by rage, but others might not be so fortunate.

Under the current circumstances in the Sealing, look at those starving ghosts; they would rather not eat at all than let the locusts live.

Yu Ziqing knew that the situation here was even more extreme than in the Alien Fire Sealing; it did not need an open flame, just a tiny, brief spark could ignite this world.

That raging inferno of living beings' wrath would purify everything in this world.

And he also wanted to find Nie Shuang, the executor of the Sealing recorded in history.

One day later, Feng Buju returned, looking haggard and somewhat disheveled.

Upon seeing Yang and the others, he immediately clasped his hands in greeting.

"What's the situation over here?" Yang asked.

Yu Ziqing was also curious. To tell the truth, although the An History Book seemed hesitant and wanted to feign death but could not help showing up, its judgment was absolutely reliable.

Sending Feng Buju here was like putting the right man in the right place.

The locusts were merely numerous, and the locust god was just a Great Demon, not even reaching the Ninth Tier.

In such a situation where the quantity was high but individual strength was weak, Feng Buju alone should be able to deal with it.

The Feng family's Sealing was different from Dadui's Sealing.

In some respects, Dadui's Sealing was more mysterious and profound.

But when it came to traditional Sealing, the Feng family was clearly much stronger.

With Feng Buju's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to directly seal that locust god using traditional methods.

By doing this, it would also count as averting the catastrophe. Once inside Feng Buju's Sealing, it was almost no different from being dead.

Feng Buju looked at everyone and began by expressing his thanks.

"Thank you all for coming to the rescue, and I'm truly sorry.

Initially, when I learned about the situation here, I thought it should not be a big problem.

However, after sealing the locust god, I discovered that he appeared elsewhere.

When I reopened the Sealing to check, I found only an empty locust shell inside; the locust god was nowhere to be found.

Later, I tried several more times, but it was still ineffective.

Even when I tried to seal all the locusts, their numbers were too overwhelming, they reproduced too quickly.

So many that I might never be able to seal them all."

Feng Buju sighed, looking helpless.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became grave.

At this moment, Yang glanced at Yu Ziqing, whose face was as still as water.

His voice echoed in Yu Ziqing's mind.

"You already have an idea, right?"

"Yes."

"But you want to use it as a last resort, correct?"

"Yes."

A flash of realization crossed Yang's eyes.

When he saw the large groups of starving ghosts, Yang had already guessed many things.

Yu Ziqing surely did not wish to simply let those starving ghosts die.

Having spent too much time at Jinlan Mountain, Yang had come to know the people of Jinlan Mountain very well. He naturally knew what mattered most to them.

As long as there was another way, Yu Ziqing would certainly not light that fire capable of burning through the world.

While others were discussing solutions, Yu Ziqing did not participate; he left the city, wanting to inquire about the whereabouts of Nie Shuang.

However, all the conscious starving ghosts knew nothing.

It wasn't until three days later that he encountered a group of starving ghosts that seemed to have a system.

"Excuse me, do you know the whereabouts of Nie Shuang, the Prefectural Governor of Dingwei City?"

The leading hungry ghost stepped forward, looked Yu Ziqing up and down as if suddenly remembering something, and asked a question.

"Are you from outside?"

"Yes." Yu Ziqing immediately nodded.

Looking at this starving ghost, Yu Ziqing was somewhat surprised; this starving ghost actually knew this place was Sealed?

"Lord Nie has died."

"He died?" Yu Ziqing was somewhat shocked.

In the records, it was Nie Shuang who sealed the locust god.

"Yes, Lord Nie has died."

Yu Ziqing thought for a moment and took out the Big Seal of Dinghai City.

"I am Qing Ziyu, the County Magistrate of Dinghai City. I have brought a group of experts, including Ninth Tier Cultivators, to come and annihilate the locust god. I want to know; what exactly is going on here?"

The hungry ghost went silent for a moment, then slowly shook its head.

"Even a Ninth Tier Strong won't be useful here; that locust god is no ordinary locust god, and this locust plague is no ordinary locust plague. A Ninth Tier Strong cannot kill that locust god."

Seeing that Yu Ziqing didn't give up, the hungry ghost sighed.

"You should look outside Dingwei City, my lord has also become a starving ghost. If you want to ask anything, go ask him."

Yu Ziqing's expression changed; he immediately thought of the starving ghost he had first encountered outside Dingwei City.

That fellow was actually Nie Shuang?

Yu Ziqing looked at the group of hungry ghosts, who were marching in formation and were well-ordered, obviously trained in life.

"I have a question for you; if there is a way for you to transform into another type of ghost yet be able to eat, would you be willing?"

"Can it kill all these locusts?" the starving ghost asked the same question.

"There is little to no chance of that."

"Then forget it."

"One more question; if there is a way that can kill all the locusts but you will also die, would you be willing?"
