Master of Strange Dao

Thinking it over, he immediately wrote a letter to Lei Yu.

"Brother Yu, as the saying goes, 'absence makes the heart grow fonder.' I miss you dearly.

Although we are not blood relatives, our brotherly bond is like that of siblings from different parents.

With the family elder's grand birthday approaching, I dare to send this invitation.

Please, Brother Yu, honor Ancestor Li, if convenient, come and visit my home."

He dared not write too clearly, but he believed that if Lei Yu was unaware of the situation, upon seeing this unusual and obviously inappropriate letter, he should understand something was wrong. If he did not understand, he would still seek out Lei Li.

Now, only someone like Lei Li, a Ninth Tier mighty figure, could give Yu Ziqing some sense of security.

Inviting Lei Li to take these things away would be the safest course.

Thinking back to last time, when Lei Yu got poked and captured Wu Shuangge, if he could use the Mixed Yuan Gold Bowl, he might have charged in long ago.

And if a vast amount of condensed filth and toxins within the Mixed Yuan Gold Bowl were used to cleanse those metal book pages, the consequences were entirely foreseeable.

Thus, Yu Ziqing felt that this matter was far from over, and there was certainly someone behind the scenes causing trouble.

If not, he would dare to twist his own neck off to use as a ball!

The special Jade Scroll Lei Yu gave him turned into a flash of Thunder Light, shooting into the clouds. A tiny flash of Thunder Light leaped within the clouds, speeding towards Dazhen.

One day later, just as that tiny flash of Thunder Light was about to reach its destination,

a hand suddenly extended from the clouds to grasp the Thunder Light.

A person hidden within the clouds looked at the contents of the Jade Scroll and casually put it away.

After a two-hour period, in the middle of a forest, a featureless, hairless White Water Egg slowly emerged.

Facing him, a person tossed a Jade Scroll to him.

"Hmm? What does this mean? Has the relationship between Qing Ziyu and Lei Yu grown this strong?"

"Pretty much, they're both extremely cordial and generous; Lei Yu has never been this close with those actual brothers of his," the person replied casually.

"I mean, has the relationship between Jinlan Mountain and the Lei Clan gotten so good? Could they actually invite that person for a birthday celebration?"

"I have no idea about that. That person always acts recklessly, only recently storming into the Faceless Man's base to beat him up. Emperor Zhen even had to award some things, kill two people, and appease the Lei Clan."

The White Water Egg knew that he had stirred up this matter, and the Faceless Man's leader took the blame for him, enduring that beating for nothing.

When he returned to the Faceless Man base, he also went through questioning, confirming that he indeed had a mission passing through there at the time; thus, they did not trouble him.

The head of the Faceless Man had this one good trait; he would not carelessly vent his anger on his own people. If anger needed releasing, it would target outsiders.

If such a matter occurred in Dali, where a spy from the Shadow Department caused an incident leading to the Chief Venerate getting beaten, the subordinates themselves would skin the perpetrator for penance without the Chief having to act.

The White Water Egg felt some surprise at Lei Li's actions, but upon reflection, it was not too surprising. Lei Li had always been this way: silent in the face of injustice, yet extremely raucous when he had a reason.

Emperor Zhen's tolerance, along with appeasing actions, played a significant role in this.

The White Water Egg looked at the Jade Scroll in his hand and pondered for a moment.

"Find an opportunity to see if you can find what we need from the things Lei Yu brings back."

"My chances are slim; after all, he is the Young Master. It can only be given willingly; no subordinate can demand it. What will you do with the Jade Scroll?"

"I sense something amiss and can't risk it." Saying this, the White Water Egg crushed the Jade Scroll.

"As you wish."

The figure departed, while the White Water Egg glanced toward the Wilderness, adding another instruction.

"Inform the subordinates that any Flying Boat arriving from the Wilderness must be reported immediately, and if necessary, spare no expense to sink it."

Both figures disappeared simultaneously from the scene.

Meanwhile, Lei Yu was sorting out those debris fragments.

He initially did not want to do these tasks, but they were assignments from his teacher.

Those fragments were of various types, almost synonymous with history, having great value in broadening one's perspective.

Soon, he sorted out some items, including some metal book pages.

Many metal book pages depicted demons, with others containing eerie and terrifying scenes.

One of these black metal book pages showed the back silhouette of a thin person.

When Lei Yu cleaned it up and saw the silhouette again, it was as if he experienced an illusion. He felt an overwhelming pressure from just this silhouette, as if he were directly facing an angry Ancestor Li.

In the blink of an eye, everything reverted to normal.

With a serious expression, he promptly wrapped that metal book page in a cloth.

Then he located the remaining metal book pages and headed straight for Thunder Collection Mountain.

"Ancestor Li, please take a look at these. I brought them back from Sorrow Cave Heaven, and I find something off about them, resembling the feeling I get from a mural at home."

"A mural?" Lei Li could not recall for a moment.

"It is the mural at home that is a Sealed Item, containing the demon soul of a Great Demon. Have you forgotten, Ancestor Li?"

"Oh, I remember now; it is the demon soul that could not be killed, no matter what?"

Lei Yu laid out each metal book page in succession.

Seeing all those evil-laden metal book pages was one thing; however, upon seeing the page with the silhouette, rows of densely packed runes and Daoist Patterns immediately emerged on that page.
