Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing walked out of the Seventh Floor ring and looked up at the sky, standing there for a long time.

The village chief appeared silently beside him, observing the somber-faced, murderously intense Yu Ziqing. The village chief spoke calmly.

"Did something happen?"

"Old Yang was captured."

"Do you know who did it?"

"Not sure exactly who."

"Do you know what they want?"

"Generally, I know."

"Then just give them what they want, remember who took it, and later on, you can just kill them. Why overthink it?"

"Village chief, someone has been targeting our Jinlan Mountain."

"Whoever reaches out, kill them. If you can't, remember them, and kill them when you can."

"The village chief is right. I understand."

The village chief patted Yu Ziqing's shoulder.

"I know you're doing this for our village, but remember, not one of us in the village is afraid of dying."

The village chief turned and left, leaving Yu Ziqing standing alone.

Yu Ziqing stood for a long while, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself.

"Fine, if you want Dadui to return, then let Dadui return.

Ultimately, whether Dadui returns or not, I don't really care.

Since someone has involved us, let's stir things up, shake the heavens and the earth.

I don't know who is behind all this.

But it doesn't matter anymore, if anything happens to Old Yang, after Dadui comes back, whoever benefits, I will kill.

Whoever stands in my way, I'll make sure they die."

Yu Ziqing came to the locust forest, digging out the metal box.

He walked out of the locust forest and arrived at You Zhen's small courtyard, casually unsealing the talisman on the metal box.

"Old brother, Old Yang has been taken away by someone. Originally, I was going to wait for a while to digest this, so as not to waste it.

Now I don't want to wait, I want to turn the world upside down, and whatever consequences happen, I don't care.

If they don't want me to have it easy, then none of them will."

You Zhen was shocked, but he had no time to think further.

The metal box opened, spewing forth Demonic Qi, which Yu Ziqing directly absorbed.

From within, a left arm flew out, which You Zhen firmly held in place.

The aura of Freedom Heaven had just emerged but was forcefully suppressed by the overwhelming hungry ghost qi here.

Yu Ziqing's face took on the form of a hungry ghost, looking ferocious. He reached out, grabbed a clump of Freedom Heaven, and swallowed it.

This time, he couldn't be bothered to argue with Freedom Heaven, forcefully devouring it, making the Yin God appear like it was carrying a three-hundred-pound belly about to burst. Only then did the hungry ghost form on Yu Ziqing's face slowly dissipate.

That left arm merged with You Zhen's left arm, returning to its original state, and his aura rose to another level.

"I'll go with you."

"There's no need. Just trouble you, old brother, to keep watch over Jinlan Mountain for me."

Yu Ziqing turned to leave, and You Zhen gazed at his Demonic Qi-covered silhouette, faintly seeing five Devil shadows dancing wildly within that Demonic Qi, worry filling his eyes.

It's over...

Those fools poked a hornet's nest.

The village chief would come to spar with him occasionally and chat.

The village chief had once told him that years ago, when Yu Ziqing was still an ordinary person, starving skin and bones, almost dying of hunger, he still clung to Old Yang and shared any food he had.

Even now, Old Yang was still teaching Yu Ziqing, even though they didn't have the title of master and apprentice, they had the reality of one.

You Zhen wanted to follow, but he knew Yu Ziqing cared more about Jinlan Mountain. Since he personally asked, he naturally had to protect Jinlan Mountain, even if it meant exposing his identity when necessary.

Yu Ziqing made his way to the southern side of Jinlan Mountain and, upon finding Han Dong, first bowed.

"Brother, there's something I need your help with.

I'm going out, and I'd like to ask you to help protect Jinlan Mountain if there's foreign intrusion, if necessary."

"It's a duty, why ask?"

"Good, indeed a duty."

Yu Ziqing went to his wife's grave and bowed.

"Sister-in-law, please forgive my rudeness."

Yu Ziqing stretched out a hand, tapping the grave, and it split open, revealing the ice coffin inside.

Yu Ziqing placed one hand on the ice coffin, and stored Emperor's Liquid transformed into a torrent, gushing from his palm through the coffin, into the interior.

"Brother Dong is sincere, so I can't be insincere. This will surely have some effect, hope sister-in-law recovers soon.

To be honest, if sister-in-law were here now, I would feel even more assured about the safety of Jinlan Mountain."

If someone respects me an inch, I will respect them a foot.

Giving only a few thousand to tens of thousands to the Jade Tomb, this time Yu Ziqing threw hundreds of thousands into the ice coffin.

As the Emperor's Liquid poured in, Yu Ziqing sensed that amidst the deathly still ice coffin, there seemed to be a bit of a different aura emerging, Han Dong's wife was beginning to revive.

The effect of the Emperor's Liquid went this far.

If he could revive her in one go, Yu Ziqing wouldn't hesitate to use more.

"This..." Han Dong was somewhat shocked.

"Don't say thank you, we share honest relations, no need for thanks. I won't thank you; you don't thank me. I'll later find a professional physician to take a look, they might know more about her condition."

After talking with Han Dong, Yu Ziqing headed straight to Almsgiving Town.

In Almsgiving Town, he found the Deceitful Ghost.
