Master of Strange Dao

Sometimes, curiosity can be a dangerous thing.

Yu Ziqing felt that way now. He was just being polite, and Feng Buju dared to actually speak out.

Why would one not dare to speak of the remnants of the Old Emperor Zhen under normal circumstances, not dare to bring them, and only dare to remove the black cloth blindfolding their eyes after the sealed items had become unbound?

But here, even before the sealed items were unbound, why did they dare not say anything?

In a flash, Yu Ziqing understood; it seemed that Feng Buju might need his help with something.

He wasn't too keen on listening, but Feng Buju seemed not to notice and heaved a sigh as if to himself.

"Actually, the Ba didn't really do any harm on purpose. When it flooded many places, it was not its intention.

At the time, no one expected that among the Dragon Clan there would be such a culturally ignorant fool, daring to invoke the Heavenly Fire to scorch the Ba.

Scorch the Ba with Heavenly Fire, and it will bring three months of rain.

It's incredible that someone from the Dragon Clan did not know such a thing."

When Feng Buju spoke of this event, he still found it unbelievable.

Yu Ziqing was silent, thinking to himself, I didn't know that. Has this become common knowledge?

How can a normal person summon Heavenly Fire?

Who could survive the Ba's power, let alone call down Heavenly Fire to scorch it?

Anyone capable of doing that would not be an ordinary person at all.

"What happened afterwards?"

"Afterwards, since the incident had begun, someone had to finish it.

The Ba, ignited by the Heavenly Fire and having lost its senses, had to be dealt with. Otherwise, if left to wander, it would bring endless torrential rains for many months.

The resulting disaster would be beyond anyone's ability to solve.

One had to either eliminate the Ba on the spot or seal it away.

In the end, a prince from Daqian came to me in secret and asked me to seal the Ba.

Following that, others from Daqian approached me with the same request.

At that time, I couldn't bear it and agreed to the task, sealing the Ba and suppressing it here."

"Oh, so it involves someone from the Daqian Imperial Family..." Yu Ziqing guessed, which was no wonder Feng Buju did not want King Xiang to know too much.

"Many things are better left unsaid. Certainly, Daqian wouldn't want outsiders to know too much. Also, the reward they offered was very generous."

Yu Ziqing wanted to laugh out loud but managed to restrain himself.

It wasn't about not having the heart to do it; it was simply that the pay was too good to refuse.

The Daqian Imperial Family made an offer that truly hit Feng Buju's spot, giving him no opportunity to refuse.

Getting paid by two parties, Feng Buju's earnings were truly enviable.

In the end, he might even earn himself some favors in addition to the money.

"That Ba, was female."

Feng Buju laughed and suddenly dropped this information.

Yu Ziqing's mind raced, and his eyes widened.

"That prince from Daqian, didn't... really? He didn't do that, did he?"

Shit, no wonder the prince paid so much, and then Daqian had to pay again.

Having the power to kill it yet only asking Feng Buju to seal it, clearly aimed to minimize the scandal. Otherwise, if Daqian sent two Ninth Tier Strong individuals, and if that prince caused a fuss afterward, it would surely become an infamous historical incident.

My god, that prince has quite an... unusual taste.

Leaving aside the external appearance, the fact alone that it could wrestle with the Dragon Clan without losing was terrifying enough.

"So now you understand, we can't let that guy, King Xiang, know about this.

If he slips up and talks, he could offend more than just one or two people."

"Although King Xiang falls quite short of his father's achievements, his lips aren't that loose," Yu Ziqing defended King Xiang.

As a tool, King Xiang was exceedingly competent.

When on a task, he never spoke unnecessarily, didn't ask more than he needed to know and simply did as he was instructed.

Honestly, having a Ninth Tier Cultivator by one's side made many things much easier, not to mention the significant sense of security.

Like the encounter with the Black Robed Man, if not for King Xiang standing there, that man would never have turned and left so readily.

"It's not that King Xiang can't keep a secret, it's just that this matter is indeed unsuitable for him to know."

"And you think this matter is suitable for me to know?"

"It is. Since you aren't from the Three Divine Dynasties, it doesn't matter. Furthermore, this matter requires your help."

"..."

Yu Ziqing was somewhat speechless.

Here it comes, I knew it. Definitely, there was a need for my help, and it's certainly troublesome.

There were only a few areas where he could offer assistance.

He decided to listen to what Feng Buju had to say. After all, if he could help, he certainly wouldn't refuse to do so.

It's about mutual assistance. It's unreasonable to only accept help from others without returning the favor.

"Now, the ice coffin still needs to be suppressed somewhere. Since the Southern Sea has settled and that guy has sneakily broken the seal,

this place definitely can't be used anymore. We must find a new location.

It must be a place with sufficient yin qi and also quite safe.

You just have to bury that ice coffin near Jinlan Mountain in any suitable place heavy with yin qi. Really, it's quite simple."

Feng Buju made it sound straightforward.

Yu Ziqing slightly frowned.

"You don't think that prince from Daqian would dare to come to Jinlan Mountain to steal the body, do you?

If he doesn't dare to snatch, then at least he wouldn't lack the courage to secretly dig up the coffin if it were buried outside Jinlan Mountain, right?"

"That's because the guy couldn't calm his mind, couldn't resist, and was even a little irrational."

Feng Buju seemed annoyed when this topic arose.

"At that time, he was the one who asked me to seal it, and so did Daqian. Naturally, I had to satisfy both parties."
