Master of Strange Dao

If it were under normal circumstances, even if Yu Ziqing had the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and a Big Ghost, he would have found it difficult to deal with a Ninth Tier, let alone stop them from sending a message back at the moment of death.

That would certainly not be so easy.

To kill a Ninth Tier, someone as strong as those at the same tier could possibly do it.

Just like this Old Eunuch, who was merely an empty shell with a high Realm, Han Dong could kill him like killing a chicken, even killing five or six Old Eunuchs effortlessly.

But if you let ten Han Dongs come, they still couldn't stop an Old Eunuch from sending a message back.

This Old Eunuch wanted to send a message back, but he had to die.

He was at the mercy of others, which gave Yu Ziqing a chance.

Yu Ziqing endured watching the Old Eunuch acting all superior, waiting for this opportunity.

Now, an incarnation of the Ninth Tier turned to ashes, not only did the painstakingly cultivated power vanish, but also the painstakingly acquired vital information, and possibly even insights gained from cultivation, all turned into nothing.

Yu Ziqing stood where he was and exhaled deeply.

He took out dozens of filth buckets, hurriedly collecting the filth.

The filth and poisonous gas condensed in Wu Shuangge's Mixed Yuan Gold Bowl were exceedingly useful.

They were so useful that even an enhanced filth bucket could only store a little; more filth would make the bucket likely to explode.

After collecting the filth and toxins, Yu Ziqing turned to look at the huge Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

Under its eyes, two blood-red tear streaks hung.

Yu Ziqing did not fear it because, ever since Fake Qiu Qing died, he might be the only one in the world who knew of its earth-shattering injustice.

Moreover, Yu Ziqing was not the creator of this injustice but a genuine outsider.

Fake Qiu Qing likely realized long ago that he was playing too dangerously.

The rumor was like a small snowball at the mountaintop; at first, it was so small that a minor constable could have snuffed it out.

But once it rolled down, it grew larger and eventually spiraled out of control; not only did it sweep the will of the entire Dadui into its momentum, but even Dadui's own strength, making it so that not even Fake Qiu Qing, the instigator, or Emperor Dui could stop it.

The body of this Nine-tailed Demon Fox was forcefully conjured; it indeed had no flesh.

It had only form, not even a Divine Soul.

It hadn't even fully formed yet.

The image of this Nine-tailed Demon Fox was merely what everyone believed it to be.

To truly make this Nine-tailed Demon Fox materialize into a tangible entity existing in the world,

was actually quite simple.

As long as no one in this world knew of its injustice, it would truly become a special Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

Yu Ziqing vaguely understood why Fake Qiu Qing always stayed in the White Jade Building.

Because he had usurped the identity of Chou Qing, the Prefectural Governor of Dingmao City, and the Prefectural Governor Seal he usurped, he had to let the cycle of sealing flow until after the appearance of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, then immediately restore it to the starting point of the time within the seal.

As soon as he, the instigator, died, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox would truly form.

That would make the documented Concubine Chen truly become a Demon Concubine.

Unfortunately, he did not dare to die, did not want to die.

Fake Qiu Qing was utterly unwilling to risk his life to bring this matter to a close.

And the root of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox's appearance, the root of its existence, lay precisely in that earth-shattering injustice.

Fake Qiu Qing was fated to die.

Thus, the stalemate continued to this very moment.

Yu Ziqing looked at the gigantic Nine-tailed Demon Fox; after seeing the truth, even the coldest-hearted villain would likely feel a pang of sympathy.

It had no flesh, no Divine Soul, no consciousness, yet it still had instincts.

Its instinct was to clear the wrongful injustice.

Therefore, it did not harm Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing levitated, staring back at the huge Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

"I will personally write down the true facts in the annals to vindicate Concubine Chen.

Fortunately, Dadui is no longer, otherwise, I fear I couldn't achieve it.

Moreover, one day, I will spread this tale to the world."

Inside the Nine-tailed Demon Fox's stomach, black energy churned; Fake Qiu Qing's Divine Soul churned within, and after being tormented for a while, suddenly, his Divine Soul shattered, releasing a wisp of Light Spirit Qi.

Even inside the Nine-tailed Demon Fox's stomach, that wisp of Light Spirit Qi remained untouched by any filth.

The Nine-tailed Demon Fox opened its mouth and sent that wisp of Light Spirit Qi to float before Yu Ziqing.

Just by being close, sensing the aura within, Yu Ziqing felt his five senses sharpen and his consciousness become extraordinarily clear, with each breath feeling like pure energy rising and turbid energy exhaled.

If he absorbed it and refined it into his body to become part of his Daoist Foundation, then further refined it into Qi, he would have a guaranteed Ninth Tier Foundation.

Concubine Chen, who had almost never cultivated, could have a cultivation level of Fourth and Fifth Tier.

If she had quietly cultivated, without relying on external forces or yearning for the mundane world, she could have at least reached the Ninth Tier Peak.

In her Divine Soul, she inherently possessed this innate Light Spirit Qi, making her tribulation-crossing many times easier than others.

Unlike Yang, who faced a Transformation Thunder Tribulation, which he made seem like tribulation-crossing by the Ninth Tier Strong.

Unfortunately, such a naturally gifted prodigy did not focus on walking the path of cultivation.

That's precisely why Fake Qiu Qing was nearly driven mad with jealousy.

If he obtained this, refining it would at least lay a foundation to reach the Ninth Tier Peak, and the Tenth Tier would be well within hope.

Unfortunately, with the Nine-tailed Demon Fox here, the anchor point of injustice rested on him, making it absolutely impossible for him to refine this wisp of Light Spirit Qi obtained from Concubine Chen.
