Master of Strange Dao

In an instant, Freedom Heaven realized that his escape must have been discovered by the evil individuals from the Feng and Yin Two Families.

The remaining sealed items had already begun to be transferred.

Freedom Heaven pursued relentlessly, but his current physical form was not adept at speed, and he simply couldn't catch up.

If he abandoned his physical body, he might be faster, but without it, in today's world, it was incredibly dangerous.

He could only follow the sensing, continuously chasing.

...

In Dazhen, Zhong Shouzheng, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, his heart filled with sudden forewarning.

Since the last time he saw Qing Ziyu draw his sword at Jinlan Mountain, he hadn't sensed such an inevitable death forewarning.

Before that, he had always sensed a white sword hovering above his head, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.

However, after Qing Ziyu drew the White Sword, he hadn't sensed such a forewarning again.

Now, a new forewarning emerged.

During his seclusion, in a state of haze, his mind suddenly transformed into an Illusion Realm, where he saw the head of a Devil grinning viciously as it flew towards him.

Zhong Shouzheng immediately ended his seclusion, abandoned his temporary seclusion place, packed his things, and fled.

He had offended so many people and didn't want to be recruited, yet he still lived until now by tending to the good and avoiding the evil.

He journeyed west, and whenever he rested, if his mind was silent and he fell into a haze, he immediately sensed that the crisis was still approaching and getting faster.

That kind of ominous forewarning slowly transformed into an inevitable death sign.

Exhausting all his energy, he ran westward from the eastern part of Dazhen, and then southward, only to find that a large number of people had already gathered near the Abyssal Rift.

The Dali West Desolate Army was fully assembled there, its military presence and murderous aura rising into the sky, occasionally forming the image of a fierce tiger in mid-air, roaring from time to time.

Zhong Shouzheng felt a chill in his heart.

The West Desolate Army's preparations clearly indicated they were going to war. Were they targeting those hungry ghosts at the Abyssal Rift?

He hesitated for a moment but ultimately descended to Almsgiving Town.

When he saw the Health Club open and noticed several hungry ghosts, Zhong Shouzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed they weren't targeting the hungry ghosts.

He casually inquired around and discovered that the Devils in the Abyss had eaten some damp rat poison mixed with toxic mushrooms, went mad, and dared to confront those hungry ghosts head-on.

The West Desolate Army had been stationed near the Abyssal Rift for several days and had not encountered a single Devil.

Upon arriving in Almsgiving Town, Zhong Shouzheng felt a slight ease of the tension in his heart.

At least, in the forewarning, the grim Devil's head that was pursuing him didn't seem to be closing in as fast.

This made him more convinced that he might die at the hands of a Devil.

So, to survive, he naturally sought the hungry ghosts.

The best choice was to go directly to Jinlan Mountain.

Since he needed help, he cared nothing for appearances. He wouldn't mind such matters at all.

He stayed in Almsgiving Town for half a day despite the risk and noticed that, even though the forewarning was approaching slower, it was still gradually nearing.

He could no longer endure and knocked on the Health Club's door.

Led inside by the Gatekeeper Hungry Ghost, he met with Cece and immediately pulled back his hood.

"I am Zhong Shouzheng, a... friend of Qing Ziyu. I have an urgent matter now, could I trouble Qing Ziyu to come here?"

Cece knew of Zhong Shouzheng and, upon hearing this, immediately looked at him with caution.

"My young master forcibly acted earlier, got badly injured, and paid a great price. He's currently recuperating at Jinlan Mountain. If senior has matters, he can go there himself."

"Hmm? Injured? Is it serious?" Zhong Shouzheng was slightly stunned.

"Senior really doesn't know?"

"I've been in secluded cultivation recently, and only came out in the past few days. What happened?"

"Apologies, senior, my young master can't leave Jinlan Mountain now. If senior indeed has important matters, please go to Jinlan Mountain."

"Very well, knowing he's heavily injured, I should go visit him."

Zhong Shouzheng hesitated a bit and pointed outside.

"Need any help?"

"Thank you, senior, but we won't trouble a strong person like you for now. If you have pressing matters, please proceed to Jinlan Mountain first."

After leaving the Health Club, Zhong Shouzheng had a rough understanding.

The moment he mentioned inviting Qing Ziyu, the girl's eyes were filled with vigilance, as if ready to act at any moment.

Seeing the austere atmosphere brought by the West Desolate Army's gathering in the distance, he vaguely understood that much had happened recently.

Upon leaving Almsgiving Town, Zhong Shouzheng immediately used the Escape Skill, pushing his speed to the extreme, heading straight for Jinlan Mountain.

...

Three thousand miles away, Freedom Heaven gritted his teeth, exhausted, glaring into the distance.

He had been pursuing for days, tens of thousands of miles, and still hadn't seen a trace.

Moments later, he once again felt a faint sensing, fleeting, yet he clearly sensed it. The person was taking the sealed items, heading directly towards Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land.

"This person is becoming more cunning, taking me for a dog, running in such big circles just to go to Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land?"

He didn't dare approach Almsgiving Town, and now he dared not near Jinlan Mountain!

Seeing he was finally close to catching up, he dared not pursue further.

...

For the first time, Zhong Shouzheng came so close to Jinlan Mountain, and he felt strange.

However, in the forewarning, the Devil's head that was drawing nearer and had already opened its bloody maw was no longer approaching, but moving farther away, and he fully relaxed.
