Master of Strange Dao

From the moment the Alien Fire sealing of Dadui was resolved, it seemed almost fated that Han Dong and Ba would appear on Jinlan Mountain.

In the end, they would be involved with another sealing of Dadui.

So, I had to go to the Mountain Abyss now.

I had a premonition that the chief director would personally appear this time.

"You used Dadui's power?"

"No, I just felt that at this time, he was anxious, something changed, and it must be of extreme importance."

Yang remained silent for a moment.

"You should have Han Dong guard his wife; regardless of the connection, Ba absolutely cannot be allowed to leave.

If what you say is true, I fear that twisted-hearted dead eunuch will act desperately, so I won't accompany you this time.

Be careful, and if it really doesn't work, run."

"In that place, no one can kill me."

The An History Book was now Yu Ziqing's absolute domain; he could advance or retreat at will, but others might not be so fortunate.

Yu Ziqing set out alone with Lou Huai and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

This time, he concealed his whereabouts entirely and quietly arrived at the Mountain Abyss.

After entering, he noticed that there were always people lurking here.

Upon confirming their identity as a Jinyi Wei spy, Yu Ziqing ignored him and left on his own.

He reached the cave and climbed down the stone wall.

Standing in front of the An History Book, it automatically opened.

There were still two pages emitting a faint glow, indicating someone was inside.

"Someone has been here before?"

The An History Book flickered.

Yu Ziqing looked at the two pages and clicked his tongue.

Wow, how long has it been? The person inside hasn't died, seems they know how to survive well.

Those two pages were seals Yu Ziqing had prepared to try only in the late period.

They were extremely dangerous seals, their danger level for outsiders rivaling that of the Devilic Tenth Tier Prefectural Governor.

"Has anyone resolved the seal and come out?"

The An History Book flickered twice to indicate no.

"Are there more who died besides these two?"

The An History Book affirmed.

Yu Ziqing shook his head and didn't concern himself further, as those two would die sooner or later.

He flipped to the year 2200 of the Dingmao Era, looking at the Demon Concubine's record on that page, knowing there was likely an eighty percent deviation from reality.

The records were too brief, Yu Ziqing even noticed a flaw.

The Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City who sealed the Demon Concubine did not leave a name.

Last time, sweeping through the sealings of the Dingmao Era, there were too many messy sealings; Yu Ziqing felt unwell, so he didn't pay attention to these.

At most, he would go in and take a casual look just to confirm whether there was real danger.

"Hey, I say, is it possible for the person who did the sealing recorded above to remain anonymous?"

The An History Book said nothing, playing dead.

"Since there's precedent, I'll stay anonymous in the future too."

The An History Book continued to play dead, tacitly agreeing to this matter.

Looking at the content of this page, Yu Ziqing had a premonition that this sealing was likely to be unpleasant just like other sealings from the late period of the Dingmao Era.

However, he came first not to resolve the sealing alone, but to understand the situation in detail.

Placing a hand on it, Yu Ziqing's figure disappeared.

The An History Book automatically flipped, making a rustling sound.

...

Inside the Langya Institute, a compass lay on the table, and two Deans skilled in Artifact Refining, runes, and Magical Treasures were frowning at the compass.

"It should be refined with Earth Fire, and we can only roughly guess ninety-nine percent of the materials, but ninety-nine percent of them are unimportant.

Its core cannot be identified with the materials available in Langya Institute."

"I found there should be slightly refined Jinlan Ore, but I suspect the special Jinlan Ore doesn't matter much."

"Without dismantling and melting it down, it can't be probed."

"Very hard to dismantle." Another Dean scowled, "The people from Jinlan Mountain are so evil, luckily I was cautious and vaguely detected its core held a lot of condensed filth, if he hadn't left such a highly concentrated amount, I might not have detected it."

Hearing this, the other Dean chuckled bitterly.

He was certain that dismantling it would result in getting nothing at all.

It might even be an utter embarrassment.

"So do we dismantle it?"

"Dismantle it, even if identifying the core is impossible, the materials can always be determined."

The two had been as cautious as possible, but just as they were about to touch the core, their force involuntarily deviated slightly.

In an instant, their expressions changed, and they immediately activated their prepared protections, along with a filth bucket.

With a boom, the compass exploded.

Black and yellow filth expanded exponentially.

The formations they set up were rapidly eroded by the explosion; their prepared filth buckets quickly filled, yet more than half of the filth still remained.

The two immediately retrieved extra filth buckets, filled five, and one even had to fetch all unfilled filth buckets from the Langya Institute to barely absorb all the highly condensed exploded filth.

The two Deans stood there, looking at the now-ruined laboratory, their faces darker than ever.

"They really aren't human, utterly... utterly outrageous!"

"A single compass, actually condensed ten filth buckets' worth, utterly insane!"

The compass's materials were left with only a little bit, the rest all blasted to powder.
