Master of Strange Dao

"The deal is struck."

Yu Ziqing, however, was not in a hurry to act; he looked down at Concubine Chen below and sighed.

"This is the last dance, truly as stunning as a startled swan, a vision of loveliness. It's a pity indeed to die, she shouldn't have died this way."

"Are you having second thoughts?"

"What's the rush? I just want to dissolve the Sealing."

"You can't dissolve it; that's not a natural-born demon."

"Let's give it a try."

Yu Ziqing paid no attention to Chou Qing.

He was just waiting here.

After waiting a day, he arrived outside the White Jade Building and watched from afar as the Old Eunuch and Chou Qing came to blows.

He was just enjoying the show.

Chou Qing had nothing on Yu Ziqing; for now, he took his frustration out on the Old Eunuch, dragging him along.

As long as the Old Eunuch had not fully mastered the Upper Four Classics, he dared not die.

Yu Ziqing watched them fight like dogs, laughing merrily.

That fellow had some self-awareness, knowing that after unleashing a great affair, a truly terrible demon, he'd be on a one-way path to doom if discovered, so he hid within the Sealing.

He even held onto the complete set of the Thousand Sect Eight Classics, just waiting for someone suitable to come along and take him out when the opportunity arose.

The idea was good, but regretfully, the complete Thousand Sect Eight Classics were not entirely unheard of outside.

The Old Eunuch had no need for the complete set at all.

A swindler getting swindled, truly retribution.

The two fought for two days, then suddenly ceased.

Chou Qing returned with a dark countenance.

The Old Eunuch also spotted Yu Ziqing and, with great interest, looked at him and bowed.

"Unexpectedly, to encounter the renowned Qing Ziyu from Jinlan Mountain here.

And to think, the person who deceived everyone the most bitterly is also you.

I admit my inferiority."

Yu Ziqing was clueless about their agreement, what was discussed; he looked at Chou Qing with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"The biggest taboo in life is to dabble in everything. You will not die well doing this.

Do you think you can keep me here?"

"Why should I keep you? As long as I know, my real self will know, and everyone will know." The Old Eunuch smiled slightly.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Take it as a threat if you will."

"So, this fool has been deceived by you again?" Yu Ziqing looked at Chou Qing in disbelief.

Chou Qing, with a dark face, said nothing.

Yu Ziqing laughed until he was gasping for air.

"Do you think I'd be afraid of you spreading the news? Just try."

Yu Ziqing sneered dismissively and flew towards the White Jade Building.

He could escape at any time, but these two couldn't, and he was not the least bit cowed.

Upon arriving at the White Jade Building, and seeing that flames had already started inside, Yu Ziqing quietly waited.

When he saw the huge black Nine-tailed Demon Fox appear, Yu Ziqing did not dodge or avoid but charged straight towards it.

The Nine-tailed Demon Fox roared angrily, and the surge of air from its roar sent Yu Ziqing stumbling backward.

Yu Ziqing shouted loudly.

"Chen Xi, do you really want to kill the last person in this world who still believes you were wronged?"

The giant claws stopped several yards in front of Yu Ziqing, the gusts almost knocking him off his feet.

Yu Ziqing pointed towards Chou Qing and the Old Eunuch in the distance.

"See that? He's the one who spread the rumors, led the will of the masses astray, extracted your soul, refined Light Qi, turned your physical body into a Ba, and made you suffer the burning of Heavenly Fire. You remember him, don't you? Your injustice, it all comes from him."

Black flames blazed in the eyes of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox as it slowly lifted its head to look into the distance.

Just when Chou Qing took out the Big Seal, ready to carry out the usual routine of ending the Sealing Cycle and starting it anew.

Yu Ziqing held the Big Seal aloft while floating in the air.

"In my name, I strip the title of Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City from Chou Qing."

A beam of light descended from the sky, and the Big Seal in Chou Qing's hand was taken by the brilliance, instantly vanishing.

Yu Ziqing reached out his hand, and a beam of light fell into his palm, with the Big Seal of the Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City appearing in his hand.

"Who on earth are you?" Chou Qing was both shocked and furious; he had never imagined anyone capable of taking away the Big Seal.

"Prefectural Governor of Jiazi City, Qing Ziyu."

Yu Ziqing put away the Big Seal, watching the Nine-tailed Demon Fox that had already charged out.

This time, the Sealing did not end so quickly.

He saw a figure appear, bitten to death by the Nine-tailed Demon Fox; the person wore a look of sad resignation, and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox also froze there.

But when that person took his last breath, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox completely lost control.

Yu Ziqing knew that shadow was the real Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City, Chou Qing.

He was already dead, having been dead even before the Sealing.

He was the last one who believed that Concubine Chen was not a demon, but sadly he was still killed by the Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

And yet, it was this very fact that gave the Fake Chou Qing, the person who deceived Emperor Dui, spread rumors, and extracted Concubine Chen's Divine Soul, the chance to Seal him.

Now, as the Sealing had not ended and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox unleashed its full power, the city walls crumbled, buildings collapsed, and everything seemed to be destroyed.

Only the White Jade Building, burning with Heavenly Fire, still stood there.

The aura of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox grew stronger, and the Fake Chou Qing couldn't resist at all.

While struggling and fleeing, he kept shouting.

"We made a deal, you must take me out."

"Taking your corpse out is the same, isn't it? Besides, I never said when I would take you out."

Yu Ziqing floated there, spectating with cold eyes.

"From the moment you did these things, you should have thought that one day, you would die a terrible death, meet retribution."
