Master of Strange Dao

Just like before, without any warning, the person began to spread rumors.

The routine "Did you hear about that?" served as a starting point.

The only commonality Yu Ziqing could find was this.

Each time a person started spreading rumors, they would use "Did you hear about that?" to get into the groove.

Could it be that everyone here possessed the Innate Divine Ability of a Deceitful Ghost?

And they all knew about it.

He hadn't even entered the palace city yet, but he knew this so-called Sealing definitely had a big loophole.

Suddenly, a flash of spirit light crossed his mind, and he immediately left the Sealing to continue searching for Yang.

"Yang, Yang, there's something very important I need to ask you."

"What are you up to now? I'm busy!"

"Do you know if there's a hungry ghost with a bit of Innate Divine Ability that can hear voices in the wind, hear conversations from far away places, while the other party is completely unaware?"

"Get to the point!"

"You say, since there are abilities like Sharp-Hearing Ear, do you think there could be a reverse Sharp-Hearing Ear, where the words he speaks disperse into the wind, carrying his message to a specific distant target,

and after hearing these things, the person involuntarily becomes a main force in spreading rumors?"

"Ah, what you're talking about, I do seem to recall seeing something similar," Yang paused, calming down and pondered for a moment.

"In ancient times, there was a spiritual beast named Eight-Mouths.

It had eight mouths on its head, each facing a different direction.

Initially, it accompanied the command tents, transmitting orders in all directions.

Its voice could travel with the wind, a single word could be heard over thousands of miles.

Having Eight-Mouths in the army allowed one to command all directions as if directing one's own limbs.

However, over time, some figured out how to counter it, and due to its importance, it was frequently hunted.

The remaining Eight-Mouths were taken by major sects back to their schools to teach new disciples, until it ultimately went extinct.

There are also stories that the surviving Eight-Mouths fled to the deep sea, disappearing forever afterward.

No matter what, the Divine Skills carried by that Eight-Mouths beast seem similar to what you described."

"So there is a way, then. Besides the eight mouths, are there any other characteristics of this spiritual beast?"

"It had the body of a black, tailless dog, its head resembled a stone sculpture, about the size of a meter, eloquent in speech, if it did not show its True Body, it appeared just like a tailless black dog."

"Anything else besides the Eight-Mouths?"

"As far as I know, that's all. If there's anything else, I wouldn't know. Anything else? If not, I must go, I'm busy and don't bother me unless it's urgent."

Yang hurried away, his purpose unknown.

Yu Ziqing sat where he was; he had never really paid attention to non-human beings, having visited so many times and always focused on people.

Thinking back, he seemed not to have seen a tailless black dog in Dingmao City, not even a black dog at all.

In the era of Dingmao, there simply weren't any significant animals kept in the city, at most some poultry that would be eaten in the same year.

After all, living for a long time made it especially easy to undergo Demon Transformation during this era.

The people here were quite scrupulous about these things, even outside the city, the livestock used to help with labor rarely lived past eight years.

As for poultry like chickens and ducks, it was rare for them to live more than three years.

In the city, they wouldn't even last a year.

Yu Ziqing entered the Sealing again, this time taking with him the Big Seal of the Prefectural Governor of Jiazi City, heading straight for the Prefectural Governor Mansion of Dingmao City.

"Prefectural Governor Qing Ziyu of Jiazi City, here to visit."

Someone admitted Yu Ziqing and informed him that the Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City had gone out and might take some days to return.

Yu Ziqing was already familiar with these excuses.

"Go tell your Lord in the palace city, otherwise, I will go to the palace city myself to find him."

This Sealing was imposed by the Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City; facing the strength displayed by the Demon Concubine after her True Body appeared, it was impossible for him to have sealed the Demon Concubine without entering himself.

In this Sealing, anyone might be absent, but it was impossible for the Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City not to be present.

Yu Ziqing had visited this Sealing many times, the only place he hadn't visited was the palace city, and he naturally knew the Governor was there.

Seeing that the receptionist hadn't moved, Yu Ziqing immediately stood up.

"Wait for a moment, Sir..."

The mansion's staff hurriedly left, and Yu Ziqing waited there.

Two hours later, he saw a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in official attire quickly approaching.

Upon seeing Yu Ziqing, he immediately greeted him formally.

"Prefectural Governor Chou Qing of Dingmao City, greets Lord Qing."

"Prefectural Governor Qing Ziyu of Jiazi City, greets Lord Chou."

"Lord Qing, did you come because of the Sealing?"

"Yes."

Chou Qing glanced at Yu Ziqing, shook his head, and sighed.

"Lord Qing, please go back, with your abilities, I'm afraid this Sealing cannot be resolved by you."

"Lord Chou thinks too much, I am well aware of these things, I just came to take a look, there will be real powerhouses arriving later."

"Ah..." Chou Qing looked bewildered: "Lord Qing, where would you like to take a look?"

"Go check out the palace city."

"That Demon... although Concubine Chen has not yet revealed her True Body, it is still very dangerous."

"It's okay, I'm just an outsider looking in, just to learn more so when the real powerhouses come, they can deal with it."

Seeing that Yu Ziqing was insistent, Chou Qing shook his head.

"Lord Qing, you may go by yourself, but actually, there's not much to see in the palace city now."

"Okay, if it's unfeasible, I can go back and inform the real powerhouses not to bother coming."

After a few words, Yu Ziqing went to the palace city by himself.

With the Big Seal of the Prefectural Governor of Jiazi City in hand, entering the palace city was indeed much simpler than Yu Ziqing had thought.
