Master of Strange Dao

As a Dao Cultivator, if you don't stand firm in your Dao, this life of yours will end here.

I guess your second tribulation in Qi Refinement should be approaching soon, right?

Yet you avoid it like a viper or a scorpion. From the moment you developed the urge to retreat, you could no longer pass through your second tribulation.

I believe you are very aware of this, which is why you are so anxious lately, eager to find a way to resolve it.

Oh, by the way, are you thinking about using Dadui's Sealing Technique?"

As soon as Yang finished speaking, the aura of the man in the blue robe, whose face was obscured, turned ominous.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I targeted your heart, yet you didn't kill me?"

Before Yang could say anything else, he suddenly extended a finger and sealed Yang's mouth.

His aura shifted from ominous to ethereal, constantly changing.

A hint of ridicule flashed in Yang's eyes.

He wasn't skilled in combat, he acknowledged, but really, when did killing need to be done personally?

This fool truly thought of him as an ordinary demon.

Show a little knowledge, and he'd take the bait. In just a dozen days, he managed to make him thoroughly believe in his knowledge.

Because it was all true.

Every bit of knowledge was something Yang had painstakingly accumulated and researched on his own, allowing no falsehood.

Subduing this Dean whose identity was unknown with knowledge was difficult in the short term. However, making him believe it in the short term wasn't difficult at all.

Once he believed, Yang could target his heart and destroy his Dao.

It didn't matter if Yang's prior words targeting the heart were true or not.

Because this man in the blue robe, being a Dean of Langya Institute, naturally had flaws when he began doing these things.

As a former Dean, Yang knew too well what things a Dean of Langya Institute was allowed and not allowed to do.

Even if he felt he was acting in righteousness, his heart would still be empty.

The hardest thing for a person is to deceive oneself.

With his belief, Yang could exploit his flaws, target his heart, and even explicitly state he was targeting the heart.

Regardless of what he thought before or how he deceived himself, now, what Yang said would certainly make him believe and inwardly accept it as the truth.

For a Dao Cultivator who hadn't yet established his Dao, even a slight flaw in the heart caused by targeting it destined the beginning of future death and Dao dissolution.

The aura of the man in the blue robe fluctuated violently, ultimately transforming into complete gloom, the concealment on his face dissipating to reveal a face full of darkness.

Yang recognized him, Dean Wu of Langya Institute.

At that moment, Yang understood entirely.

This guy, stripped of his role as Dean, dared to sneak out and cause trouble.

It seemed Yang's words targeting the heart were correct, and he indeed had flaws, allowing Yang to achieve this so effortlessly.

He was anxious, in desperate need of other methods and things to recover.

Dean Wu revealed his face, gloomy-faced, pointing to the ground hole below Yang.

"The Sealed Land has been locked. Was it your doing?

Now, either you unlock it, or I'll seal you into the Mountain and River Array Map and throw you into the depths of the ground hole."

"Fine, since you want to go, then go." Yang complied smoothly, drifting from the edge of the ground hole into the darkness.

Dean Wu lost sight of Yang and lost sensing, immediately following him inside.

Yang descended to the rune on the stone wall, seeing that the rune, which should have been dim, had already lit up again.

He immediately understood that Yu Ziqing had arrived.

For a moment, Yang's mind was a complex mixture of emotions.

He knew Yu Ziqing coming here was not merely about facing danger.

To reactivate the Sealing here, a price must be paid.

Having finally escaped the big pit of Dadui, now voluntarily jumping back in.

"I told you, don't act recklessly, I won't die..."

Yang murmured under his breath, recalling Yu Ziqing's appearance and everything from the past.

If Yu Ziqing were standing right in front of him at that moment, with Ziqing's temper, he would surely point at his nose and curse.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

Just thinking about it made Yang laugh, a bittersweet laugh with tears.

How could people from Jinlan Mountain not come?

Two or three breaths later, Dean Wu followed and landed.

"I advise you one last time. If you go in, without resolving the disaster of the Sealing, there's no way out. Once you step into this, there's no turning back."

"I have no retreat left."

Dean Wu looked at the rune that lit up again, waved his hand, and brought Yang into the Mountain and River Array Map.

For himself, he took out a powerless bronze rune, placing one hand on it.

In an instant, his figure disappeared.

In the void, An History Book moved without wind, turning to a page, but then paused briefly before continuing to the page Yu Ziqing set.

On that page, light flowed, indicating someone had entered.

Yu Ziqing, still reading, lifted his eyelids.

"How many people went in? Flash once for each person."

An History Book flashed once.

"Did Yang come?"

An History Book flashed again.

"Was he brought in too?"

An History Book confirmed.

Yu Ziqing gazed at the illuminated page, the page he chose himself.

"Which page should they have entered?"

Yu Ziqing, noticing when An History Book halted momentarily on a page, understood that the other party must have been prepared, holding a token that allowed them to enter a specific page.
