Master of Strange Dao

"You could get the Soul Destruction Blade?"

"Whether I can get it or not, it's the best method.

In the future, when we need to use it, we can spend a lot of money bribing a prison guard to borrow it for a while and return it the same day.

No one would ever know.

Besides, no one would ever think of using the Soul Destruction Blade, an instrument of torture, to save someone."

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Tong Weishun still didn't understand why.

He didn't believe anyone would go to such great lengths out of sheer goodwill.

"Don't you already know why?" Yu Ziqing looked at Tong Weishun with slight astonishment.

Before Tong Weishun could speak, Yu Ziqing continued.

"I just want to kill the chief director.

But I'm the kind of person who sticks to their principles.

I don't want to watch the victims of the Evil Skill die with them.

Nor do I want a living person, with emotions and a full life, to die carrying the identity of a dead eunuch's incarnation.

Afterward, their relatives and friends would also bear this label, left with nothing but pain and suffering for the rest of their lives.

At the same time, I know it's very difficult to take revenge, just identifying who he is and where he is isn't easy.

I need your strength."

Yu Ziqing spoke with sincerity.

These words, Tong Weishun believed.

But he also believed that Yu Ziqing truly wanted to sever the connection for them.

No matter what he thought in his heart, this fact must be true.

The struggle within him slowly calmed, and his resolve grew firm.

Whether true or false, whether success or failure, he wanted to give it a try.

To become a complete person without worrying about what might happen to his wife and children or family should he suddenly die.

When Yu Ziqing shone that ray of light before him, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise fixed dark fate.

He couldn't resist, couldn't possibly hold back.

He wanted to seize that ray of hope with all his might.

Whether that light was real or fake, he had to try.

Anyone who stood in his way, he'd make sure they perished.

When Tong Weishun opened his eyes again and lifted his head, his resolve was unshakeable.

Even more determined than when he first reached the Ninth Tier.

"What do you need me to do?"

He didn't first ask when Yu Ziqing would sever his connection with the main body.

"You need to be cautious, exceedingly cautious, and gather all the other incarnations.

Only by severing all connections with that Evil Dao at once will you all have a chance to survive.

Otherwise, as long as one remains alive and breaks the connection, that Evil Dao will give no one else the chance to live.

If you are ready, shatter this Jade Scroll."

Yu Ziqing took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Tong Weishun.

Tong Weishun solemnly put away the Jade Scroll, and after chatting for a long time, he finally stood up to leave.

...

Three days later, in a secret chamber, Tong Weishun sat opposite a Black Robed Man.

Tong Weishun spoke expressionlessly.

"Someone must die to resolve it.

He saw through that I'm not the main body, and the prior person sent to seal is already dead.

The demon didn't appear, and the record in the seal, the Demon Concubine's record, is utterly erroneous.

In truth, the demon mentioned in that record was a forcefully gathered creation, formed by the collective will of the masses and combined with the power of the Dadui Divine Dynasty.

It wasn't naturally born, couldn't be killed, and had extraordinary power.

The person sent to seal died from that demon.

Only Qing Ziyu of Jinlan Mountain, holding the Big Seal, could escape."

Tong Weishun conveyed what Yu Ziqing had told him.

Yu Ziqing knew best that a statement ninety-nine percent true and one percent false might fool them.

The chief director was somewhat shocked. At a turn of thought, he understood it was the former Thousand Sect Master who spread rumors, exaggerating them into such an unstoppable dreadful threat.

He listened and was convinced that this was the truth.

If there were truly such a strange and fearsome demon, and by its divine power severed the connection with the incarnation, it would seem reasonable.

After all, the demon itself was formed by information, so it wouldn't be surprising if the incarnations couldn't transmit messages.

"We'd better prepare well; Qing Ziyu is exceedingly astute.

He has long investigated, and my existence has too many flaws.

He can't hold back any longer: in a few days, he'll abandon the Dadui Seal affair.

If there's a suitable candidate, find a chance to let him think he discovered it himself.

Let an incarnation disguise as the main body to fall to his hands.

If necessary, I'll also die with the incarnation at his hands to let him exact revenge.

At this juncture, we definitely can't give up.

Only the people of Jinlan Mountain understand the Dadui Seal best; success is impossible without them.

Moreover, they've already dissolved some of the seals and set a precedent; it's unlikely someone else can take over."

Tong Weishun spoke gravely, his tone filled with indomitable determination.

As if for a great matter, he'd willingly face death and danger.

The chief director was silent for a moment and sighed.

"One wrong step leads to another: you're right, we must resolve it promptly, we can't delay anymore.

Involving the Divine Dynasty is difficult for us in the matters of Dadui; even if we intervene, success isn't guaranteed.

Only the Jinlan Mountain people are suitable; it's they and only they."
