Master of Strange Dao

Because without having absolutely solid evidence, talking about it would seem a bit like a conspiracy theory.

Moreover, regardless of Han Dong's relationship with Old Emperor Qian, conspiring about his father in front of Han Dong is ultimately not very appropriate.

Yu Ziqing thought it would be better to directly ask the Yang-destroying Devil if he knows Qingping.

He believed that as long as he could make the Yang-destroying Devil feel that there might be a chance, even if it's just a slight possibility, to advance a bit on the path of seeking death, or even just to see a little more of the dawn, the Yang-destroying Devil would certainly not mind selling out everyone else.

"Brother Dong, don't worry, I may not be as focused as you, able to concentrate on one thing exclusively.

But when it comes to uncovering the truth, I've got some skills. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter.

You and sister-in-law just rest easy."

"Thank you," Han Dong cupped his hands, thought for a moment, then waved his hand, summoning the Black Sword behind him, and handed it to Yu Ziqing with both hands.

"No... Brother Dong, to be honest, your sword is wasted in my hands. The main issue is, I can't control it; I might even end up splitting myself with it."

Previously, Yu Ziqing could barely control the White Sword; it was already fortunate not to make a big mess.

Besides, its power was immense; he couldn't actually unleash its true power.

Now, this Black Sword was clearly much stronger, and in Yu Ziqing's hands, it would just be an uncontrollable and hugely powerful great move.

Upon hearing this, Han Dong understood the reasoning and regretfully put the Black Sword back.

"I will re-nurture another sword for you, this one's power is indeed a bit much."

Han Dong took back the White Sword and continued to nurture it.

Before leaving, Yu Ziqing took out some pastries, fine wine, and good tea to be given to Han Dong's sister-in-law.

After Yu Ziqing departed, the female Ba approached from afar, softly leaning on Han Dong's shoulder, and whispered.

"I know you usually understand well what should and shouldn't be done.

This time, you should do the same, don't impulsively go out and do anything.

I fear that if you go out, you'll be used by someone without even realizing it, further ruining Ziyu's affairs."

Han Dong took a deep breath and sighed, a bit wearily.

"I understand, rest assured, I won't act impulsively."

Having a sense of measure is a huge advantage—instead of worrying about any benefits it might bring, at least it can avoid many risks.

The female Ba trusted Han Dong very much; she appreciated Han Dong's sincerity.

She understood some matters, but wouldn't tell Han Dong, choosing only to proactively avoid these risks.

She also wouldn't go out and do anything personally because she knew, once she stepped out, someone would surely use her to manipulate Han Dong, inciting his impulsiveness.

A pure Sword Cultivator devoted to the sword could be manipulated in any battle-related matters,

and they would surely work very effectively.

Now they are here to recuperate, cultivate quietly, and help Yu Ziqing guard the Forbidden Land of Jinlan Mountain, which is currently the most appropriate contingency.

With no worries, Yu Ziqing could do many things freely.

The female Ba smiled, savoring the pastries Yu Ziqing brought, and smoothly shifted the topic.

"This craftsmanship, just one bite and you can tell, it must be personally made by Ziyu; it's rare for him to do this, we should savor it well. You should taste some too, there's a particularly unique flavor in it..."

"How come I can't taste it..." Han Dong said, a bit surprised.

"Then take a good moment to feel it."

In an instant, Han Dong forgot about the previous matters, and really started to taste and comprehend it, and after calming down, he truly sensed a hint of a special flavor.

...

Several days later, Yu Ziqing received a message from Wei Jing.

He had already stepped down from the position of Family Head, passing it to Wei Tai.

Wei Lan also awakened, despite his significant expenditure, with the Wei Clan's foundation, using some treasures to restore Wei Lan and replenish the consumed source was not an issue.

Wei Jing even roundaboutly mentioned that he didn't ask Wei Lan anything, covering for Wei Lan, with no one else knowing.

Wei Lan was originally nurtured as the next Family Head; giving him special treatment in private is seen as normal by everyone.

Nothing notable had recently happened within the Wei Clan either.

Yu Ziqing fully understood that the injury of Wei's Ancestor wasn't light, and he didn't even go to the Wei Clan to do anything.

However, there's nothing much he could do anymore at the Wei Clan now.

Even if there are still some mind-controlled individuals within the Wei Clan unwilling to awaken, the contract has already been severed.

Wei's Ancestor couldn't possibly wait silently like before, just to collect toll fees from the Yang Devils passing by.

Yu Ziqing did not believe that Wei's Ancestor was dead; without seeing him die face-to-face, that fellow could not possibly be dead.

Reacting impulsively, getting beaten, and then immediately lying low again, that's not uncommon.

If that guy were still jumping out recklessly now, Yu Ziqing would actually find that abnormal.

Wait for a few more days, then head over to Dazhen, give the Yang-destroying Devil a call.

Going directly to the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land is impossible; he certainly couldn't discuss with the Yang-destroying Devil right in front of the Yang-Keeping Devil on how to deal with the Yang-Keeping Devil, right?

Borrowing Wei Lan as a human phone to secretly make some contacts would be best.

Even if there's no substantial progress, slowly probing for news from the Yang-destroying Devil, the most ideal situation in the end, is for the Yang-destroying Devil to open his heart completely, revealing everything to Yu Ziqing.

However, this cannot be stated directly now.

Yu Ziqing would not tell the Yang-destroying Devil directly, "Let me know everything about you, and I might be able to complete the determination, possibly equipping you with the power to embrace death."
