Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing listed out these things, just glanced at them, and laughed at himself.

It was simply wishful thinking.

Taking action personally was absolutely impossible.

The disparity in strength was just too great, and drawing the sword was out of the question.

True name, identity and background, Dharma methods, important life experiences, and other factors, each was necessary.

Just the first item, the true name, confirming the target, Yu Ziqing was unable to accomplish.

He fundamentally did not know what Dean Wu was called. According to the rules of the Langya Institute, since Yu Ziqing had never drawn his sword against the Dean of Langya, he could roughly assume that, for him, Dean Wu essentially had no true name.

As for his own true name, he hadn't obtained it yet.

Old Yang was the same; to this day, Old Yang had not acquired his true name.

Such a rule, initially, was to protect Dao cultivators, because before entering Dao, and even for some time after entering Dao, their means of Dao-protecting were a significant weak point.

They could rely on external tools, but in the end, external tools were just external, while personal strength was the best means of protecting Dao.

Throughout history, people who died just because of a true name were not few.

Just as the human race managed to develop something like the Heavenly Devil True Name Spell, it wasn't created out of thin air; there were always other things, even things from the Alien Clan, that served as foundational references.

Yu Ziqing temporarily set these aside; he had a very clear goal.

To put it arrogantly, killing a Dean of Langya was not even Yu Ziqing's top priority at that moment.

His primary goal was still to resolve the disaster and accomplish his own tasks, which was a long-term commitment.

Dean Wu left the inn to gather information personally, and Yu Ziqing also exited the inn, heading toward the Prefectural Governor Mansion.

To resolve the disaster in this location, relying on himself was definitely not feasible; the main force must still be the Prefectural Governor, Kang Xiangyu.

Reaching the gate of the Prefectural Governor Mansion, Yu Ziqing looked at the guard at the entrance.

"I'd like to report that the Prefectural Governor of Dingwei City, Qing Ziyu, is here to visit."

In a moment, he saw a guard leading Yu Ziqing into the mansion Hall.

Arriving at the courtyard in the back, he saw a big man with a full beard sitting there, legs spread wide, a bonfire in front of him, surrounded by people, some roasting meat, others baking flatbread.

"You've come at the right time, come and join us."

The big man laughed heartily, merely glanced at Yu Ziqing holding the Big Seal in his hand without saying anything, and first invited Yu Ziqing to sit down and eat.

Yu Ziqing was somewhat taken aback, as he truly hadn't expected the Prefectural Governor Mansion to have such a scene.

He smiled and didn't stand on ceremony; the others squeezed over a bit to make room for him, and he sat down and started eating.

Large chunks of roasted meat, large pieces of flatbread, accompanied by rather mediocre strong liquor, caused Yu Ziqing to choke; he didn't like drinking and had never had such poor-quality strong liquor. It was strong and nothing else, truly remarkable.

Once everyone had eaten and drunk to their fill, they left in tacit understanding, leaving Yu Ziqing and the big man.

"Do you know where I come from?"

"I know, from the moment I heard your name, I knew where you came from, and I know, the Prefectural Governor of Dingwei City isn't named Qing Ziyu. You're here to resolve the sealing, aren't you?

However, pardon my frankness, your strength... hmm?"

Kang Xiangyu stopped mid-sentence, suddenly paused, and stared at Yu Ziqing for a while, placing a hand on Yu Ziqing's shoulder and then grinned.

"Your physical body is so strong, even stronger than demon beasts. Is there a new Dharma Method outside?"

"Yes, Body Refinement, I haven't refined Qi."

"Good, good, hahahaha..." Kang Xiangyu laughed heartily and, after laughing, took a step back and bowed seriously. "Could you teach me?"

"No need for that, it's just some simple Body Refinement methods."

Yu Ziqing looked at the pleased expression of Kang Xiangyu and suddenly asked.

"You haven't seen me, and you can already know this is a sealing?"

"I've never forgotten, nor dared to forget. Devils ravage, always seeking opportunities, and I can't give them a chance. I can't get lost in the sealing either."

Hearing these words, Yu Ziqing was greatly shocked.

This guy, unbelievably, maintained a clear consciousness from start to finish, clearly knowing he was in the sealing?!

In other sealings, even those whose True Bodies were sealed inside, usually maintained a state of oblivion; only when outsiders were present and identified themselves would they recall they were in a sealing.

Because of the endless cycle within the sealing, it never ceased; if one didn't let their most conscious awareness sink, going with the flow, they would eventually be tormented until their consciousness collapsed.

While all the world was intoxicated, only I remained sober; many times, however, being sober brought pain.

Knowing this was a disaster, knowing disaster would come, but never being able to awaken others, at that moment, the one who remained conscious was always in the most pain.

"Do you know how many years you've been here?"

"I forgot, and dare not remember, fearing that if I did, one day I wouldn't be able to bear it." Kang Xiangyu said freely, speaking on this subject, he even smiled self-deprecatingly, unconcerned about revealing his fear.

"Back then, when ten thousand devils emerged, had I not intervened, it wouldn't take long before there were a hundred thousand, a million. Once they reached Jiazi City, they could become billions.

Though troublesome, I had no choice but to handle it.

Unfortunately, after all these years, I still haven't found a solution.

And you're the first person to come."
