Master of Strange Dao

After sealing the female Ba, then suppressing the Heavenly Fire Qi on her, using the yin cold qi here along with the ice coffin.

If given enough time, the Heavenly Fire Qi within her could be completely obliterated.

By then, when she reemerged, she should be able to recover.

Daqian would gain face, and he and the female Ba would gain benefit, making it a happy ending for all; it just required some time.

Who would've thought, that fool went and released earth fire, attempting to melt the ice coffin.

Wasn't he afraid that Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire would entwine, completely dooming his little lover?

He was advised, but he still didn't listen, being stubborn and refusing advice, he deserved today's outcome."

"You sure it's fine to bury that ice coffin near the locust forest?" Yu Ziqing looked at Feng Buju incredulously, then with a thought said, "Uh, you're not just having me bury it randomly so he can easily dig it up, are you?"

"How could that be!" Feng Buju denied emphatically.

Seeing Yu Ziqing's distrusting expression, Feng Buju gave a dry laugh and said,

"Actually, the best place to store that ice coffin now is indeed near the locust forest of your Jinlan Mountain, the yin qi there is particularly dense.

It's hard to find a place with such heavy yin qi that is also safe.

Other locations, there are a few haunted caves suitable, but those places have mixed energies, and if mishandled, might backfire, not to mention safety concerns.

As for him coming to dig it up, let him if he wants, I've done all I can."

Yu Ziqing silently added, doesn't include curing love-struck minds, right?

Thinking about it, sure enough, if he encountered such clients, he wouldn't care about after-sales service either, having done all that needed to be done.

"Alright then, just burying it outside the locust forest is indeed not a big problem."

Feng Buju handed a storage bag to Yu Ziqing, exhaling a long breath.

If there's a next time, he certainly wouldn't want to earn this type of money anymore, it's simply too troublesome.

Still having to consider opinions from both sides with one side being particularly annoying.

After saying goodbye to Feng Buju, he still had to do routine inspections elsewhere, so Yu Ziqing didn't follow along.

As he headed into the Wilderness, he saw King Xiang sitting under a tree, having prepared tea and waiting.

"Is everything done?"

"Yes, done, let's go, your father is probably waiting too long."

Yu Ziqing liked this trait about King Xiang, having none of that unnecessary curiosity, never asking too many questions.

Even if something was intentionally hidden from him, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Following King Xiang all the way north, reaching the northern part of Jinlan Mountain, King Xiang immediately took out his father's right arm.

The scale-armored right arm gradually merged into You Zhen's right arm, with the black-scaled surface clinking to the ground.

Yu Ziqing, with sharp eyes and quick hands, moved with a thought, and casually gathered up all those scales to leave for Yang as artifact refining materials.

At that moment, You Zhen's aura surged again, finally crossing the Ninth Tier threshold.

He moved his right hand a bit, slightly clenched his fist, and bones cracked with a bang, exploding with snapping sounds in his palm.

As Qi-Blood surged, it was like a volcano poised to erupt at any moment.

Normally, motionless, it showed no particularly strong aura, but once moved, it was landslide and ground fissure.

That sense of oppression indeed couldn't rival Refining God cultivators, but once in action, not necessarily so.

With just one hand, one foot, plus the torso, he restored Ninth Tier strength, this fellow at peak, wasn't probably far from the Tenth Tier.

No wonder someone wanted to painstakingly deal with the Old Emperor Zhen back then.

If the Old Emperor Zhen himself cultivated to Ninth Tier Peak, adding the strength of the Dazhen Divine Dynasty, he could definitely reach Tenth Tier power.

A Tenth Tier Body Cultivator was simply invincible.

Apart from something like a Heavenly Demon, there might truly be no better way to deal with the Old Emperor Zhen.

And with those people probably understanding the Old Emperor Zhen's temperament, preferring to die unyieldingly than live in shame, if matters couldn't be salvaged, he would definitely retaliate in the fiercest way.

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived in matters of principle.

The Old Emperor Zhen's character was well understood by people.

However, seeing You Zhen now, it seemed over two thousand years had passed, perhaps he had changed slightly.

Yu Ziqing didn't disturb much, but after offering congratulations, left You Zhen to reunite with his son.

Yu Ziqing himself circled around the locust forest, heading to the south.

A hundred paces outside the locust forest, Yu Ziqing dug a large pit, took out that ice coffin, and placed it in the pit.

Setting up a sacrificial table, lighting the incense sticks, inserting them into the incense burner, Yu Ziqing bowed respectfully to the ice coffin.

"Predecessor, if you regain some reason, listen to my advice.

I'm not sure about the previous situations, however, what I'm doing now is genuinely for your good.

Burying you underground, to help you absorb the earth qi, the yin qi here is also strong enough, you should be able to recover a bit faster.

The Ba here, may be a bit different from how I understand Ba, but I think, essentially, they're probably similar.

Stay here and recuperate properly, only when fully healed can you have a future.

If love lasts forever, does it matter if it's morning or evening?

It's my gift to you."

Babbling on, not knowing if the female Ba could hear it.

But it didn't matter, proper formalities had to be followed just in case the female Ba could hear.

After burying the ice coffin, Yu Ziqing even personally built a round tomb, erected a tombstone, but didn't inscribe any words.

Also transplanted some plants capable of surviving the harsh environment of the Wilderness around the gravesite.
