Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing paid no further attention to the little girl but flew into mid-air, holding a talisman in his hand to conceal his form while his Yin God eyes opened.

He brought all the mortals within a ten-mile radius, as well as those two cultivators, under surveillance.

The person who taught that nursery rhyme to the little girl must be among these people.

If they were not, then Yu Ziqing would just squat here, let's see if that person could hide forever.

At worst, he would squat here until the end of the Sealing rotation; he had all the time in the world to slowly investigate.

So this time, Yu Ziqing didn't go anywhere else but stayed within this area, waiting for a full cycle.

As the events within the Sealing began to unfold again, at first glance, Yu Ziqing saw a little girl hopping and jumping out of the woods, still murmuring to herself.

This time, those within a ten-mile radius were still the same people, and Yu Ziqing began to watch them to see which one of them was spreading the rhyme.

The one who disseminated the nursery rhyme before the event even happened must be a key player in this affair.

Following the vine to get to the melon, he might dig up more clues.

Otherwise, Yu Ziqing could only carry the Big Seal, reveal his identity, and investigate the palace city.

While Yu Ziqing was locking horns with these people, over in the Capital City of Dali, Lou Huai had also arrived a few days ago.

Emperor Li ordered a massacre, killing many people, but still failed to catch the originator of the rumors.

Further aggravated by Daqian stoking the fires, Dong Chang and the Jinyi Wei fanned the flames, causing the situation to escalate.

Even the claim that the Crown Prince was unworthy of his position started to be shouted out loud.

Most viciously, they hired a half-blind old scholar who was over a hundred years old and had spent his life teaching to shout out this statement.

No one dared to do anything to him.

In the Gu Family residence, Lin Fu and Lou Huai sat facing each other, their faces as long as fiddles.

"My older brother is doing this for your own good, purely out of kindness to help, Lin Fu, I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

"Having Tianxin take risks, the Crown Prince won't agree, and neither will I."

"Pssh, whether you agree or not is up to you, my older brother had anticipated the current situation long ago.

Those people are sinister and vicious, daring to use even more damaging tactics.

My older brother also said, now there are only whispers that the Crown Prince is unworthy of his position, but the next step will be to stir up public outrage, then instigate the major forces within the court.

If a few more Princes start making trouble, it'll turn into a complete mess, aiming to depose the Crown Prince.

They want to install a puppet Prince they can control, and whoever gets put up there will definitely be a puppet squarely in their grip.

At this stage, it's just an old blind Undying shouting out a few words.

The next stage is to kill Gu Tianxin, to make sure there is no proof of life."

"With me here..."

"You make me laugh, Lin Fu, you're only Eighth Tier, what are you boasting about, if they dare to make a move, they're definitely stronger than you.

My older brother says, by then, the appearance of a Ninth Tier is absolutely certain.

You have to decide whether you want Gu Tianxin to take the risk or die.

Choose however you like, it's none of my business.

If my older brother weren't a kind-hearted person, believing our friendship is decent enough to personally send me here, do you think I even want to see you?

It makes me laugh.

If my older brother wasn't busy, he'd have come himself.

Anyway, you do whatever you want."

Lou Huai was slouched there, rolling his eyes, grabbing various items in front of Lin Fu and stuffing them into his mouth non-stop.

Lin Fu looked as somber as still water, he understood these principles all too well.

In recent days, he had actually noticed new faces starting to appear around the Gu residence.

Danger was definitely approaching.

Three days later, at 12:45 AM, all was silent.

The main gate of the Gu residence exploded open with a boom.

A person wearing a mask directly charged in.

Lin Fu unsheathed his sword and clashed with the intruder mid-air.

His Blade Qi surged forth, but he saw that the masked individual merely extended one hand, effortlessly blocking his Blade Qi, and with a sudden burst of strength, crushed the concentrated Blade Qi.

Lin Fu was shocked, an Eighth Tier Body Cultivator.

Moreover, an Eighth Tier Body Cultivator close to the Ninth Tier, with extremely robust flesh.

He quickly recalled the Eighth Tier Body Cultivators near the Capital City of Dali, each one with a recognizable name.

However, their builds and fighting styles did not match any of them.

The masked person was silent during the battle, his Blade Gang fierce, but aside from the vital points, he was almost entirely resisting Lin Fu's Blade Gang with brute force.

As the battle commenced, people immediately surrounded Tianxin's dwelling.

Outside the Gu residence, more individuals sprang up out of nowhere and began to besiege it.

Seeing the menacing approach, one broke through the main gate and charged in.

Outside Tianxin's small courtyard, a guardian went to knock on Tianxin's door.

"Miss, we must move you to another location now, the enemy is fierce, and we can hardly hold the front any longer."

The door opened, and a puff of black fog was sprayed onto Tianxin's face.

Tianxin frowned slightly, swayed a bit, but didn't fall.

Lou Huai was slightly taken aback, then sprayed two more puffs of black fog, making Tianxin's body go limp, collapsing to the ground.

Lou Huai hoisted Tianxin onto his shoulder, chuckling to himself.

As his older brother put it, this was called disrupting the Eunuchs' plan and meddling with their operations, clearing the path for themselves, and leaving those dead Eunuchs with no place to go.

Apart from the Eighth Tier individual battling the idiot Lin Fu, the rest had nothing to do with them.

The moment they took action, people couldn't help but leap out immediately.
