Master of Strange Dao

And, there was one more thing, they even obtained a County Magistrate Seal of Dadui.

If I had been a few days late, they would have thrown that Seal deep into the ground, completely severing the possibility of Dadui's return.

Just to cut off someone's chance of advancing to the Tenth Tier in the future, they would rather not advance themselves. This was revenge.

Meanwhile, the matter we seek would never be accomplished.

All of this was because someone was still targeting Jinlan Mountain.

I barely managed to persuade them, but I had no ability to resolve that grudge.

Nor did I have the ability to rush into Jinlan Mountain and convince everyone there.

Now, there were two paths in front of you all.

One, send certain two people, along with the heads of their incarnations.

One was the person with the surname Wu who captured that old goat, the other was the one who had kidnapped Qing Ziyu.

As long as you accomplish this, henceforth, we could laugh off past grievances with Jinlan Mountain. They would not only hand over that County Magistrate Seal but also do their utmost to help us break the seal of Dadui.

Two, gamble the future of everyone to protect those certain two people.

It depended on whether you all were confident you could destroy Jinlan Mountain before that Seal fell into the ground, and also seize the Seal back.

Afterward, you would need to be confident that what you did could surpass what Jinlan Mountain could do.

By the way, where that Seal was now, I didn't know either, but they were confident that should anything happen to a single dog of Jinlan Mountain, the Seal would simultaneously fall into the ground.

This was already the best outcome I could find. How to proceed was not my business anymore. It's up to you."

The Black Robed Man said this, patted his behind, and left.

He could handle inquiries, but whatever they would do next, be it one choice or the other, he didn't want to be involved, didn't even want to listen.

The Black Robed Man left, leaving the rest in a strange silence.

Because before today's meeting, that Black Robed Man, who claimed it wasn't his concern and told them to choose however they liked, had already informed the organizer not to invite a directly involved fellow.

After a long silence, someone slowly began to speak.

"The one named Wu was truly good for nothing, more harmful than helpful. That old goat might have been the person most knowledgeable about the Dadui Seal today, yet he had been harmed to death by him."

Someone first criticized the already dead Dean Wu, and immediately, others nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, everything could have proceeded very smoothly, yet now unexpected obstacles had arisen, possibly leaving the future totally blocked. The one named Wu truly deserved death."

There was no pressure in blaming a dead man.

Whether it was called an alliance or organization, it was due to interest, so naturally, it dispersed over the same.

They nodded one after another, confirming Dean Wu deserved death, and that he deserved what he got.

Everyone turned to look at the person sitting in the corner.

The shadow in the corner smiled like a night owl, eerie and chilling, he also nodded.

"The one named Wu indeed deserved death. The return of Dadui was for everyone's benefit.

Even though some of you hadn't reached the Third Tribulation yet, calamities were hard to endure. One slight misstep meant death and the end of one's Dao; you all should have experienced it.

If the path to the Tenth Tier opened, your chances of overcoming calamities would greatly increase.

There's no room for discussion on this matter, anyone in our way should be put to death.

Jinlan Mountain is off-limits, and so is the one named Wu.

However, now Jinlan Mountain was a great ally, but the one named Wu had already ruined our major affairs and killed the person most knowledgeable about the seal.

The one named Wu truly deserved to die."

With the man in the corner also nodding, there seemed to be no more pressure among the group.

On the surface, they were denouncing a dead man, but in truth, they were expressing their stance.

You could replace those words "the one named Wu" with someone else's surname, and it would not be an issue.

Having set the tone, the implementation thereafter had no suspense.

Sitting here were seven or eight Ninth Tier individuals, targeting merely a Ninth Tier in their first tribulation, and that Infinite Sect wasn't some wealthy or deep-rooted sect. The difficulty wasn't high at all.

After two hours, everyone left.

The next day came.

Cui Changping's figure appeared on one of the seats, and the vanished person from the chair in the corner also reappeared.

"I sent the message to you, did you see it?"

"I saw it."

"They need you to die, do you have any objections?"

"You all have already discussed it, what choice do I have left?"

"You have a choice, go to Jinlan Mountain."

"Hmm?" Cui Changping felt greatly surprised.

"Since you have to die, make sure your death achieves the greatest value. Use your life to explore Jinlan Mountain."

"Why stir up troubles?"

"Why? Ha..." The person in the corner laughed sinisterly for a long while before speaking darkly.

"Because I don't like being manipulated, especially not in this matter.

Since he could manipulate once, he naturally could manipulate a second time in the future.

This matter doesn't tolerate outside control. Even if the timing is delayed and problems arise, we need to assure it first.

Those Primordial Spirit Evil Dao indeed have capabilities, but I don't trust him. I only trust thirty percent of his words.

My men have already searched the Mountain Abyss three times, a thousand miles around the cave, without any problem.

Even the stone walls of that pit have been scanned three times.

Even if he had the Big Seal, I didn't believe he'd have the opportunity to throw it down there.

Besides that pit, hiding it anywhere else meant a day it'd be found.

Moreover, it's time to explore the secrets of Jinlan Mountain.
