Master of Strange Dao

This guy has definitely surpassed the Ninth Tier limit.

Furthermore, where is he? Who knows?

Even Song Chengyue doesn't know.

Where is Qingping?

No one knows either.

After completely calming down, Yu Ziqing began to ponder.

First, he had to find out the truth.

Understand what happened, why it happened, what the purpose was, and so on.

Second, even if all of this was orchestrated by Old Emperor Qian, he must die, but how to kill him requires a plan.

Old Emperor Qian, this guy, is connected with the Cliff Divine King, sneaky and treacherous, stabbing others in the back.

Now it's discovered he's in cahoots with the Yang Devil, and to say it's not for benefits, achieving a goal, finally backstabbing the Yang Devil—

Yu Ziqing doesn't believe it.

And the one appearing is always Qingping, probably the one connected to the Cliff Divine King is Qingping, right?

Once done, Qingping disappears, Old Emperor Qian remains a paragon.

I can curse your mother.

Before leaving the Wei Clan, Yu Ziqing had an open chat with Wei Jing and Wei Tai.

Wei Jing is getting old, having suffered a massive blow, really lacks drive now.

But Wei Tai, in his prime, he remains quite confident.

The core path of the Wei Clan can no longer be followed, but experience and knowledge, etc., are not fake.

Just discarding the original secrets, outwardly picking up the core of exploring the western part of Dazhen as pioneers, the Wei Clan still remains the Wei Clan.

The Wei Ancestor is still alive and even attempted to assassinate Yu Ziqing; whatever Yu Ziqing wants to do, the Wei Clan sold out by their ancestor has no reason to obstruct.

Yu Ziqing informing them first is already showing utmost benevolence.

The next day, Yu Ziqing left the Wei Clan and went to find King Xiang.

He recounted the incident of his attack and also spoke about the western part of Dazhen, where the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land harbors a Great Devil, and Wei's Ancestor betrayed his descendants, trapping eighteen generations of the Wei Clan.

King Xiang's pupils shook, even finding it hard to react.

Then he understood, he doesn't need to do anything, just go tell Emperor Zhen.

Indeed, the Wei Clan was doing something, but they didn't realize they were betrayed by their ancestor, first extracting the Wei Clan from the situation.

The so-called trap transformed into the Wei Clan's ancestral heritage having pitfalls.

After telling King Xiang, Yu Ziqing contacted Yang, recounting recent events.

Yang was silent, listening quietly with a darkened face.

"You know what you want to do.

You want both Lihuo Institute and Langya Institute to know this.

Pin everything on Wei's Ancestor, and then bring Qingping to the forefront, is that right?"

"Correct, those guys want to kill me, so they can't blame me.

We can't directly point to Old Emperor Qian, nor can we name Qingping's identity.

Even if we kill Qingping, we still don't know his concealed identity.

I only know he's a very strong Sword Cultivator, that's all."

Yu Ziqing reminded cautiously, fearing Yang would let his Fire Qi rise uncontrollably.

However, Yang was much calmer than him; not like him, having been starved to death, emotions hard to maintain once ignited.

"I did visit the Wei Clan, but I indeed don't remember.

Whether it was the first Silence Divine Spell or the second one being sealed doesn't matter.

My thinking wasn't wrong; I was already close to uncovering some terrifying truth then.

You're right; merely the Yang Devil indeed couldn't have caused such a big change.

The message, I'll spread it.

Now it's my rightful moment to return there once more.

Just focus on reading, leave the rest to me."

After finishing the communication, Yang stood alone quietly for a long time.

Then his expression showed a tinge of anger, and he started cursing aloud.

Soon, the Dean here learned that Yu Ziqing was attacked in the Hengduan Mountains and the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, seemingly almost killed.

Also learned that there's a Wei's Ancestor, utterly lunatic, doing harm to his descendants.

Yang was even abandoning his research to go eliminate that so-called evil Wei Ancestor.

A group of Deans' expressions didn't look good.

Yu Ziqing is quite the sponsor, a big benefactor.

Providing land, resources, samples, projects, whatever you want.

Probably the Spirit Transformation Array developed here will be the greatest achievement of many people's lives here.

Moreover, here, it's simply too comfortable.

If Yu Ziqing had feuded or had conflicts with some great power, they might not do anything.

If it's not a mortal enemy, mediating and resolving in between might be the limit.

But Yu Ziqing almost got slaughtered, and what that person did was a standard Evil Dao act.

This was utterly incorrigible, even regular Evil Dao wouldn't be so ruthless.

The nature is entirely different.

Upholding justice and fighting evil, eradicating demons, Dao-preservation is righteous and must be pursued vigorously!

Of course, the most important thing is everyone has been quite idle recently.

The new major project is still being discussed, still in the theoretical research phase.

But the most crucial core sample hasn't been obtained yet.

And Yu Ziqing ventured to the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land this time for this core sample.

Yu Ziqing risked his life to obtain the core sample; reportedly for this, he was even bound with several shackles causing bottlenecks.

Had it not been for the attack, the sample would have been delivered now, and they wouldn't even know Yu Ziqing faced such a disaster.

Now it's unknown if that sole sample is gone...

After hearing these facts, combining everything, who can still hold back?

Destroying a major project, this is no longer a private matter.

In terms of affection and reason, vigorous actions are a must!

Originally Yang set out alone, but eventually, when leaving the South Sea Island, he was accompanied by as many as eight Deans.

And this doesn't include the Dao Guardian of the Deans...

Had it not been for the Dean Nong and such, having gone also wouldn't be of much help, even he wanted to go along.

In the end, Dean Nong didn't come personally, but he quietly handed Yang a storage ring.

Inside were some research byproducts from Dean Nong.

Simply put, meat-destroying poisons, soul-destroying poisons, madness-inducing poisons, various poisons...

It's said there's even one extracted from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

A group of Deans set off aggressively, discussing along the way how to eliminate that so-called Wei's Ancestor and take him back for slicing research.
