Master of Strange Dao

Now there was only one left. After entering, depending on the situation, determine if it could be resolved or if it needed to be at all.

Anyway, according to Yu Ziqing's thinking, knocking out the people of the Yin Family and taking them out was the first step.

Then those kidnappers needed to figure out how they could enter a specific sealing.

Since they could enter a specific seal, maybe they could also get out.

If they could take what they had and trap them inside, it would naturally be the best outcome.

After Yu Ziqing left, An History Book didn't close again but instead automatically flipped to another page.

"Dingmao 660 years, Jiayin City,

Five hundred miles north of the city, an alien realm fell to the ground, alien power spread, and demons released, their numbers countless and endless.

Xu Hang, the county magistrate of Jiayin City, cut off its source and sealed its god, suppressing it with his own body."

An History Book glimmered faintly in harmony with the blood-red words flowing on its pages.

This was currently the last seal someone had entered.

...

Yu Ziqing returned to the cave, everyone was there, and no one asked why he took so long to come out.

Everyone had the expected mutual understanding.

No one was in a rush to rescue the Yin Family people.

Every one of them had already entered a seal.

They knew that kind of ghostly place wasn't simple at all; one might die if not careful.

First, they needed to rest and prepare.

Yu Ziqing came to the edge of the cave, avoiding touching the formation and alertness there, and quietly asked Lou Huai.

"Did you sense anything? For instance, a smell?"

"No, no one has come close here, and there's no unfamiliar aura, big brother, can I go out?"

"No, if no one asks you, pretend you're already dead, you must hide first. Until now, you haven't smelled anything, but in the next place, you'll surely be able to smell it if you come out, it will stink."

"Then I'll leave it, big brother, I'm fine staying here."

The group rested for a day, recovering their state before descending once more.

This time, without Yu Ziqing reminding them, An History Book already knew where to send them into a seal.

The place they entered was a wilderness, within a radius of several tens of miles there wasn't a single living person.

There wasn't even a single rabbit.

Very safe.

Flying into the high sky, identifying the direction, the group began moving north.

Jiayin City was to the north.

Yu Ziqing still remembered that the Meteor Disaster occurred near Jiayin City, and it was Xu Yang, the county magistrate at the time, who sealed it.

He now held the Jiayin City's County Magistrate Seal in his hand.

So, was the Jiayin City where Xu Yang was in Yichou 320 the same as this Jiayin City in Dingmao 660?

Could the County Magistrate Seal in his hand still be used here?

And the county magistrate Xu Hang here, did he also have a Jiayin City's County Magistrate Seal?

Yu Ziqing did not rashly take out the Jiayin City's County Magistrate Seal.

He always felt that some change would occur once it was taken out.

Therefore, he continued to use the Dinghai City's County Magistrate Seal.

According to the records, the disaster occurred five hundred miles north of Jiayin City, while they were now south of Jiayin City.

They hadn't encountered any living beings along the way.

Everyone restrained their aura, moving forward slowly, and the always-hidden Lou Huai suddenly transmitted to Yu Ziqing just as they neared Jiayin City.

"Big brother, it appeared, a faint lingering stench, very weak. Someone must have stayed here before."

Yu Ziqing followed Lou Huai's guidance to look at a large stone not far away, unable to sense anything, but Lou Huai had already smelled the scent.

Yu Ziqing stared at the stone, and Feng Buju immediately became alert, also staring at the stone.

He frowned slightly, reached out to touch the stone, and then lifted it, immediately detecting a faint, almost imperceptible force suppressed beneath the stone.

When he saw that this hint of power was indeed a seal, Feng Buju breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems they're still alive; this is left by the Yin Family Patriarch, Yin Busan."

Resolving the seal, some scattered information was caught by Feng Buju.

He closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, deciphering the information, then opened his eyes to look at everyone.

"This was left for me. They were captured, their lives threatened, forced to help crack a seal.

No, it should be said, to seal something."

"What exactly is the situation?"

Feng Buju, with a stern face, explained,

"Yin Busan said that to leave here, they must resolve the disaster in this place. The disaster consists of a group of evil creatures and a core, most malevolent entity.

In normal circumstances, they would only be able to kill it to leave this Sealed Land.

But the purpose of those people is to take out that malevolent entity.

They can't break through the Sealed Land, so they resorted to the Yin Family's power."

Hearing this, Yu Ziqing's expression slightly changed.

"They want to use the Yin Family's power, seal these evil creatures, considering it a resolution of the disaster, then, after coming out, release them?"

"Exactly, the Yin Family knows a forbidden technique called Death Seal." Feng Buju's face did not look good.

"Once a Death Seal is cast, it's impossible to resolve it unless the sealed entity is destroyed together, only then can the seal be lifted.

But if everything is destroyed, what's the use of lifting the seal?

However, in this world, nothing is absolute, not even sealing techniques.

Death Seal can only be broken by the current head of the Yin Family, using their full strength and sacrificing a life.

If it were another sealing technique, it would be impossible to take that evil creature out, but with a Death Seal, it might be considered resolving the disaster."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed in unison.

Yu Ziqing's face turned dark; it seemed like a loophole, but he couldn't help feeling this method might actually work.

The Death Seal counted as resolving the disaster, it should be possible.

However, since they could force the Yin Family members to come, naturally, after they got out, they could also force the current Yin Family Head to use their life to break the Death Seal.

Those people must have been planning for a long time, seizing a chance to capture nearly all the Yin Family members in one fell swoop.

Besides, they also secretly turned two snitches; just by the age of those two snitches, Yu Ziqing could judge that they had certainly not become snitches for ten or twenty years, but had long since secretly betrayed.

Only earlier, either they weren't used, didn't need to do anything, or had done quite a lot but hadn't been discovered.

The Yin Family being so easily taken down meant what Yu Ziqing guessed was the latter; the snitch was never discovered.

Having learned some information, the group refrained from entering Jiayin City recklessly; instead, they bypassed it, heading north. They wanted to first inspect the situation there.

As they proceeded, more and more demons began appearing, all with strange auras, not devils, not from the Demon Clan, and not ghosts either.

Casually killing a strange creature with a lion's head, bear's body, cow's hooves, without a tail, Yu Ziqing felt the weird aura on it, frowning.

He couldn't pinpoint what kind of evil qi it was, just finding it peculiar, even the Five Little Ones inside his body didn't want to consume it.

The party flew into the sky, with Feng Buju releasing a magical treasure to conceal everyone's form.

They silently approached the place where the evil creatures appeared, Yu Ziqing's mind was shaken, glancing at Old Yang.

Old Yang also had a trace of shock in his eyes.

Those mountains still bore a somewhat familiar feel, and the entrance where evil creatures continuously went in and out, as well as the place where many evil creatures camped outside.

That place, Yu Ziqing was all too familiar with.

Further exploration in all directions brought a faint sense of familiarity, increasingly dominant.

Yu Ziqing looked at Old Yang, who gave him a slight nod.

Yu Ziqing took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

Because here, it was definitely once the location of Jinlan Village.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Yu Ziqing completely understood.

You Zhen becoming a neighbor to Jinlan Mountain was purely accidental; Yu Ziqing only acted out of a desire to finish what he started, conveniently providing Jinlan Mountain with a Ninth Tier Body Cultivation to guard the gate.

And rescuing the Yin Family was not due to friendship but because You Zhen had two parts, only the Yin Family knew where they were and how to unseal them.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that ultimately, the situation would hit so close to home.

Those kidnappers wanting to take the evil creature out, to say they weren't targeting Jinlan Mountain at all would mean Yu Ziqing would take his head off and kick it like a ball right there!

And that evil creature, Yu Ziqing naturally thought of the Jade Tomb within Jinlan Mountain.
