Master of Strange Dao

The three of them said nothing, surrounding Yu Ziqing as he smiled slightly, remaining motionless.

Their demeanor seemed normal, not appearing like people from the Shadow Department, and the escape skill they used was not the Shadow Great Escape.

One was Seventh Tier, the other two were Sixth Tier, all Qi Refinement cultivators, so there was no significant problem.

Yu Ziqing was only uncertain about why they showed up at this time, whether they sensed that the eunuch Chun Ting was dead or if it was about Shi Sisi's matter.

"Shadow Department's dogs?"

Yu Ziqing tentatively asked, only to see those three remain silent and attack directly.

Yu Ziqing bent his waist slightly, his form like a sharp arrow, instantly charging toward one of them.

Taking a blow of spirit light head-on, Yu Ziqing shouted loudly.

"Qi Penetrating Long Rainbow!"

The plain, simple punch burst forth, actually moving in the way of the Long Spear Fist. His fist, like a sharp weapon, forcibly tore apart the opponent's Protective Spirit Light.

At the moment the opponent used an escape skill to avoid it, Yu Ziqing did not stop and seized the path to leave.

The three seemed a bit surprised, relentlessly pursuing from behind.

Yu Ziqing charged forward madly, his figure leaning forward like a swift arrow, his speed was no less than that of a Flying Escape.

The signature body cultivation secret technique of Jinlan Mountain, best not to use if possible, becoming Devilic best not to use if possible.

Having a disguise was troublesome, many distinctive things couldn't be used.

He wanted to first confirm whether these people were from the Dong Chang or the Shadow Department.

If they were from the Dong Chang, he would strike with full force, killing them. If they were from the Shadow Department, he would leave a live one, and if anything, make the situation bigger.

Song was right, it must have been a small slip on his part earlier that led others to track him.

Otherwise, no matter who these people were, it would only make sense for them to appear before him.

Calculating the time, Shi Sisi's kidnapping was definitely an unexpected event.

But someone keenly caught the small slip Song made, linking it with his own actions and taking action themselves.

So, he only needed to know what happened here to have a good chance of connecting everything together.

Hence, he must try to not let anyone know it was him who acted, not implicate Jinlan Mountain directly.

Even if he was eventually exposed, it was not a big issue, he must just not expose Song.

This matter must have nothing to do with Song; moreover, that's not his child.

The disguise might be a bit ugly, but he still had to use it.

These people reacted so quickly, it couldn't just be the Dong Chang involved, surely the Shadow Department was involved.

Yu Ziqing charged forward madly, after running a hundred miles, the people behind were getting further and further.

At this moment, a tunneling light flew across in front, and from behind came a loud shout.

"Ahead, Daoist friend, Shadow Department catching someone, stop the evil human trafficker."

Instantly, the tunneling light that originally was passing by flew a distance, then upon hearing the three words "human trafficker," immediately turned around and flew back.

A young man with a sword-like brow and starry eyes hovered in the air. Seeing Yu Ziqing's somewhat unpleasant appearance at the moment, he sharply shouted, sending out a sword light.

The sword light maneuvered nimbly, suddenly transforming into a massive sword a hundred feet long, descending from the sky to land in front of Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing only sensed the might of the giant sword, immediately turning to pounce toward the three who were pursuing him from behind.

This time, he didn't hold back, shattering the Protective Divine Light of one Sixth Tier at a glance, grabbing the opponent's neck to use as a shield.

However, in this moment, Yu Ziqing was surrounded by the three.

Yu Ziqing, holding one cultivator with one hand, took out a compass with the other hand, checking the young man as well.

After confirming there was no issue, Yu Ziqing finally mocked.

"So, you really are from the Shadow Department, is this the best the Shadow Department can do? Acting indiscriminately? Who's the human trafficker? Come on, tell us."

Seeing one of them wanting to move, Yu Ziqing exerted force in his palm, causing the throat of the person in his hand to creak.

"Really useless, by the time you arrive, the human trafficker would have long gone."

Saying this, Yu Ziqing threw out the bodies of two human traffickers.

The young man holding the sword seal stood dumbfounded at the scene, then looked at the two from the Shadow Department.

Yu Ziqing looked at the opponent.

"Which sect are you from?"

"I'm Shan Daoyu, a True Disciple of the Mysterious Heaven Sect."

"Are you stupid? You just believe whatever they say? Did your elders teach you to judge people by their appearance?"

Shan Daoyu's face darkened, wanting to argue no, but upon seeing Yu Ziqing's lopsided expression, he found himself unable to speak.

Listening to Yu Ziqing's words now, he couldn't help but feel some suspicion.

Had he been used? Did these people know that upon hearing the three words "human trafficker," he would assist?

One person took out a token, directly throwing it to Shan Daoyu.

The Shadow Department's token, impossible to forge, carrying a unique aura, one person per token, when the person dies, the aura dissipates.

Confirming that they were indeed from the Shadow Department, Yu Ziqing loosened his grip slightly on the guy he almost strangled, placing him on the ground while still grabbing his nape with one hand.

"I guess, you all suddenly received a task saying there was an evil human trafficker here, and were told not to waste words upon seeing the person, to kill them on the spot."

The person Yu Ziqing was holding remained silent with a sullen face.

"Now, go ask if your Shadow Department indeed issued such a task, it'd be best to directly send a message to inquire at the government office.

Meeting without revealing identity, I almost thought you were dogs from the Dong Chang."
