Master of Strange Dao

But when those powerful individuals died, people from Jinlan Mountain were always present, which is rather unusual.

Then he cast another glance at Ruan Renwang, who remained motionless with closed eyes.

He could sense that Ruan Renwang's aura was exceptionally obscure and difficult to detect, only perceiving imminent danger.

However, so far, the other party hadn't acknowledged him at all, not even opening his eyes to look at him.

The Mother River God secretly felt dread; Jinlan Mountain indeed held unfathomable mysteries, its foundations far exceeding everyone's expectations.

The importance of Qing Ziyu was undoubtedly not merely that of a young master from Jinlan Mountain, as he was accompanied by such a powerful guard when going out.

Meanwhile, Yu Ziqing studied the Mother River God, whose aura was weak, even missing a leg, which, for an Earth Deity, wasn't an ordinary injury.

When an Earth Deity is injured, the external manifestation of missing limbs indicates damage to the foundation, damage to the Source.

Earlier, upon hearing Old Song say that the Mother River God had vanished, and was neither dead nor alive, Yu Ziqing knew that the Mother River God must still be hiding in the Mother River.

Only in that place could he hide so well that no one could find him.

"Can you explain what happened?"

"I submitted a warning memorial, and within three days, two powerful individuals disguised as Holy Envoys approached.

They held the Token, stamped with the court's Big Seal, so naturally, I was without suspicion.

I thought the court reacted swiftly to prevent any potential danger, so I cooperated fully.

To my surprise, once we left the Earth Deity Divine Country and reached the place where the river needed dredging, they ambushed me with a God Slaying Punishment from the Divine Dynasty while I was unprepared.

At that moment, I realized I knew too much."

The Mother River God let out a cold laugh, filled with sarcasm.

"To assassinate me, they even forged the seal and carried a God Slaying Treasure.

That naturally involves key figures and encroaches on many interests.

Unfortunately, those fools hadn't reckoned that the Mother River would simply reroute, directly entering the sea.

This transaction cannot be covered up, and they all face inevitable death."

Yu Ziqing sighed softly, unsure of what to say. Dıscover more novels at novel※fire.net

If under normal circumstances, without any external interference,

this matter might still have been quietly suppressed.

The most serious incident would at most be the disappearance of the Mother River God.

Had the Mother River God issued a warning, even the foolish ones wouldn't have ignored it and secretly taken action.

No, they would have openly addressed it, diffusing the crisis, then claimed credit and earned rewards.

However, now that external forces intent on causing trouble have intervened, just a slight push turned it into a major event that no one could contain.

What could have been a simple levee breach became a complete rerouting of the Mother River's main stream.

With such a significant event occurring, coupled with the new emperor showing signs of madness, and the Supreme Emperor engaged in his own affairs, whereabouts unknown.

This indicates that Daqian is heading towards its demise.

The path of Dadui, deteriorating at an even faster rate than Dadui.

Though on the surface, Daqian appears to be the strongest among the Three Divine Dynasties.

At Dadui's peak strength, it appeared to be the strongest too.

Now, it seems that Dazhen, which appeared weakest in overall strength, has shown the greatest resilience, not declining but instead improving.

At least the younger generation Emperor Zhen sent to Jinlan Mountain show promise; regardless if they're suited for the court or not, there's an eighty percent chance they'll become formidable individuals in the future.

"Do you know the two who ambushed you?"

"No, they're not overtly powerful figures. Their identities and appearances are likely forged or disguised."

The Mother River God gritted his teeth, revealing a grim smile as he reached and took out a leg.

"They ambushed me, and despite severe damage to my Source, I managed to leave traces.

Everything else is false; only one's cultivation cannot be falsified.

You can calm the Earth's Divine Country's turbulence, giving me a chance to recover.

I don't know why you possess such capability or how you entered the Earth Deity Divine Country.

However, since those individuals also managed to enter, this method might already be commonplace for certain people.

I won't ask you about it, and I'll give you this leg.

I currently lack the ability for revenge, but the madness of those people is unforgivable.

To sit idly while the Mother River's main stream reroutes, committing such heinous sins, are they not afraid of retribution?

Who among them can bear it!

No matter what you intend to do, I only ask you to calm the Mother River and let those two die miserably."

The Mother River God gritted his teeth, his aura fluctuating fiercely, his eyes reddened.

Yu Ziqing took the Mother River God's leg, sensing within it the power and aura of those who attacked.

Indeed, the Mother River God is a ruthless individual, decisive in action.

He was right about one thing though, such heinous sins cannot be borne by anyone.

"I was entrusted by someone else to come here, this matter, no one can take charge of.

Rest assured, you will not be punished for it; stay here and recuperate well."

The Mother River God submerged into the riverbed to continue healing.

While Yu Ziqing proceeded to the original site required for river dredging, leaving the Earth Deity Divine Country.

At night, at 1 a.m, under the bright moonlight, Yu Ziqing found the location where the Mother River God was ambushed.

He looked up at the bright moon and muttered softly.

"Moon God, lend a hand."

Divine Skills, Moonlight.

Under the moon's illumination, Yu Ziqing seemed to witness time flowing backward, and under the Bright Moon's testimony, the events of those previous nights played out before his eyes.

Given the short span of time, retrospection wasn't too challenging.

As Yu Ziqing anticipated, the longer the period, the harder it is to backtrack, and the more significant the influence it has, the harder retrospection becomes.

However, with the Moon God's blessing, reviewing merely a few months back posed no significant issue.

Quickly, Yu Ziqing witnessed the happenings of that night.

The Mother River God led two powerful figures out from the Earth Deity Divine Country, a moment when the Earth's Deity's power was significantly weaker outside its domain.

The two coordinated seamlessly, ambushing the Mother River God from behind.

Despite surviving the first strike, the Mother River God sustained heavy damage, yet in his ruthless nature, he risked further injury to forcefully leave something behind before vanishing into the Mother River.

The two attackers looked displeased, re-entering the Earth Deity Divine Country to continue their pursuit, but to no avail.

Yu Ziqing took out paper and pen, sketching the figures and their Magical Treasures.

Next, this would be handed to Old Song.

Let's see how the new emperor plans to handle this.
