Master of Strange Dao

Before long, three beams of tunneling light arrived, Song Chengyue stepped out from them, and upon seeing Yu Ziqing, he was utterly bewildered.

Yu Ziqing handed the still smoldering Divine Soul to Song Chengyue.

Old Song had a constipated expression on his face, the half-black half-red flame looked extremely dangerous, how was he supposed to take it?

Yu Ziqing held the flame in one hand, shouting loudly.

"Song Chengyue, I thought our relationship was decent enough.

You better not say you know nothing about this!"

Old Song was completely bewildered, not knowing what madness Yu Ziqing was spouting.

But hearing this, he had a rough idea, it seemed like time to start acting.

Old Song immediately lowered his posture, asking kindly.

"What exactly happened?"

Then Yu Ziqing explained the incident of the Evil Ghosts taking advantage of the hungry ghosts.

He personally went to extinguish those Evil Ghosts, and also wiped out many hidden ones along the way.

Afterwards, he was hunted by members of powerful families, whom he eliminated in turn.

After defeating the small fry, the big shots came, and even a strong one came personally to hunt him.

If he hadn't had the protection of an elder on this trip, he would have been beaten to death.

This happened within Daqian territory, to put it seriously, it's a diplomatic incident.

Song Chengyue, as a leader of the Jinyi Wei, showing up here so quickly, there has to be something wrong. The source of this content ɪs novel✶fire.net

Unless you give a proper explanation, this issue won't end.

Song Chengyue felt his throat tighten, not knowing how to let off steam; the stronghold of that family had been leveled, who would dare to hunt you now?

Crazy, right?

"How is Daqian so chaotic, I was just passing through, how did I encounter so much trouble."

Yu Ziqing blatantly lied, insisting he knew nothing and was just passing by.

I don't know what you have been up to recently.

So, my explanation is very meticulous, credible, and impeccable.

Song Chengyue watched as the flame in Yu Ziqing's palm slowly extinguished, the Divine Soul burned to nothingness.

No evidence left.

Alright, now he believed it.

The ill-fated reasons for that powerful family grew by one more.

Song Chengyue courteously, lowering his posture, spoke kind words for a long time, sending Yu Ziqing away.

Upon returning, looking at the two strong figures he had hunted with, he took the initiative with a sigh.

"The local powerful families truly have been accustomed to arrogance.

Even at this point, they still dare provoke the young master of Jinlan Mountain.

They probably misjudged him as an ordinary cultivator and tried to kill him offhand, only to hit an iron board."

Song Chengyue slightly modified Yu Ziqing's account to make it more reasonable.

The two people with whom he had hunted exchanged looks, ultimately only sighing.

"They really are on the Dao to Death, already in trouble yet dare to assassinate the Mother River God, allowing the Mother River to divert.

Such outrageous behavior, coupled with self-inflicted misfortune, truly is unforgivable, they deserve death."

No one pursued Yu Ziqing's problems, even complimenting Song Chengyue for calming things down.

Song Chengyue returned to the Capital City, naturally reporting to the new emperor how the last strong one of that powerful family died.

He relayed Yu Ziqing's account, then added.

"I also investigated, and there are essentially no issues.

The civilians are ignorant, and with few hungry ghosts in Daqian, under rumors, such things indeed happen.

When encountered personally by Qing Ziyu of Jinlan Mountain, it naturally enraged him.

That culpable family, how arrogant they have been, from top to bottom, trying to establish a separate fiefdom.

Not only that, they shift blame onto the court without reason, sowing deep discontent there.

I've heard from a senior general about it; recruiting for the court in that region is often met with reluctance.

Instead, they're more willing to become private guards for that powerful family..."

Song Chengyue spoke the truth, and the new emperor remained calm without surprise.

"Monitor each region closely."

The new emperor merely gave the order, preparing for the coming impact.

Because in recent days, there were already audacious rebels privately calling him a tyrant.

His gaze turned to the map, towards Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land, somewhat surprised and curious.

The people of Jinlan Mountain, what are they plotting at this time?

But given that they helped in slaying a strong one who escaped, it must not be with ill intent.

So let's offer a response; there's indeed no reason to offend Jinlan Mountain now, it's pointless.

"You go to Langya Institute, while compiling the next volume, change the name of Evil Ghosts.

If there are Evil Ghosts causing trouble, eradicate them directly."
