Master of Strange Dao

In the end, some traces would inevitably remain, but with Song taking the blame, it was not a big problem.

Night fell.

The Old Chief Venerate arrived in the capital city of Dali. He had studied the documents that Yu Ziqing wanted.

Apart from the fact that Fu Xiao confirmed there were major issues, with others, he indeed couldn't see any significant problems.

With no problems, the only question left was whether the other party might be using the Langya Incarnation Technique.

The Old Chief Venerate found Ye Jiuyuan.

"You find an opportunity to test all these people and see if they are incarnations."

The Old Chief Venerate handed a list to Ye Jiuyuan, who frowned slightly upon seeing it.

"These people? Some are already dead, and some have been crippled."

"Don't worry about it. Just do as I said."

Ye Jiuyuan, puzzled, still found an excuse and had Fu Xiao issue an order. Using the excuse of the recent fake missions in the Shadow Department, he expanded the testing range and retested everyone.

However, the results showed nothing unusual.

Some people wondered why this kind of test, which only needed to check those who hadn't been tested, required going through everyone.

Despite the confusion, there wasn't much suspicion, as the Shadow Department was known for frequent reviews.

...

In the secret chamber, the chief director looked at the painting hanging on the wall and sighed softly.

"It seems Fu Xiao isn't too pleased, having ordered another review. Indeed, being the Chief Venerate isn't like before. He's not easy to handle now. It's not the time yet, not the time..."

He sat there pondering for a long time, then took out a worn, yellowed half-volume book, turning to a page where faint, blurred characters could still be seen.

New moon, good seal of the Jade Seal, the setting sun turns to blood, the Divine Dynasty sinks...

This half volume was something he had found earlier.

With the unsealing of Dadui, various influences began to manifest.

In Dali's Royal Book Library, archives about Dadui started emerging. Direct records about Dadui began to appear.

He also discovered the most crucial record, the clues about the Jade Seal, the core condensing force of the Divine Dynasty, which carried the fortunes of the Dadui Country.

He combed through the materials and finally identified who "good" referred to.

It was a former head of the Yin Family; his courtesy name was Good.

Only the courtesy name was recorded, not the actual name, which was a common habit of that era.

After all, since ancient times, apart from Dadui, only the Feng and Yin Two Families had been skilled at sealing, which wasn't difficult to deduce.

Yet there wasn't the slightest trace of information regarding the Dadui Jade Seal in Dali's Royal Book Library, the Shadow Department's archive, or Daqian's library.

Regardless of whether it was true, he had to assume it was.

He needed to divert others' attention, as too many had been on his tail lately.

Jinlan Mountain persistently pursued him without any issue, but why were others meddling without reason?

He didn't create the Langya Incarnation Technique.

Emperor Qian was truly heartless, abandoning what was no longer useful.

He blew out a breath, sending a message floating away with the wind, dispersing into the distance.

Several days passed.

While listening to the Heart Demon recount tales, Yu Ziqing suddenly sensed one of the jade scrolls shatter; someone was summoning him.

Yu Ziqing arrived at the location and saw Zhong Shouzheng's solemn face.

"I just attended a meeting and got a piece of news. I thought you'd want to know."

"What news?"

"Someone found out the Jade Seal of Dadui was sealed by the Yin Family, and they know exactly who was the family head at the time."

"Who discovered it?"

"I don't know, just the information."

"I understand, thank you."

Just after Yu Ziqing received this news, Yang passed another message to him.

Someone secretly contacted King Xiang, informing him that a part of his father was sealed by the Yin Family, intending to lure King Xiang to the Yin Family.

When two sensational pieces of news were revealed, even though Yu Ziqing had known this for a while.

He knew the nature of sharing it with everyone who should and shouldn't know was entirely different.

Looking eastward, Yu Ziqing suddenly laughed.

Just one seemingly unusual review by the Shadow Department had indeed sparked a reaction.

He had revealed such information to divert trouble eastward.

When did he know?

With the matter of the Dadui Jade Seal as a priority, naturally, people's attention wouldn't remain on an elusive Evil Dao demon.

Whether it was Daqian or Dali, they would naturally focus more on Dadui's affairs.

These issues were directly related to their interests.

Yu Ziqing wanted to press the chief director by using this leverage, but with attention diverted, the chief director's pressure would lessen considerably.

So, he intended to buy time?

Why delay?

What Yu Ziqing could think of was that he intended to start retracting the incarnations.

In other words, ever since he suddenly lost four Ninth Tier incarnations, he might have already started retrieving them.

But with several Ninth Tier incarnations missing, his power was surely not too strong.

Even if he recovered all, reaching the Ninth Tier Peak would be quite challenging.

And the Ninth Tier Peak wasn't invincible; he couldn't oppose a Divine Dynasty completely revealed after his identity was uncovered.

At the very least, Dali was determined to kill him.

After mulling it over, Yu Ziqing decided to temporarily ignore the rumors spreading within the small circle; it wasn't the time for him to show up yet.

He simply passed a message to Feng Buju first, informing him of the situation so the Feng and Yin Two Families could prepare.

As long as Emperor Qian learned of this, many would follow to pressure the Yin Family.

Sending word to King Xiang was precisely about that pressure.
