Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing did not reveal too many secrets to the New Emperor Qian, nor did he express his own speculations.

He merely stated truthfully that Qingping was the incarnation of the Old Emperor Qian and that Qingping was directly involved in many events before.

The Great Devil in the Extreme Cold Land had connections with Qingping, and the affair regarding the Great Sun Dominating the Sky was also related to Qingping.

There was no need to say more.

The New Emperor Qian already knew quite a bit, and he did not require evidence for many things.

As long as he is aware of the matter, he is confident it is directly related to his father, the Old Emperor Qian.

The private chat invitation from New Five was promptly accepted by the New Emperor Qian.

He even understood why Yu Ziqing requested a meeting at the Southern Border and that the information provided was, in fact, not detailed.

This kind of probing, he felt, was reasonable.

In fact, precisely because of this probing, in addition to the identity of the person, he was willing to have a conversation.

Across the realm, many did not see eye to eye with his father or had animosity towards him; would he be willing to converse with everyone who approaches him?

Willingness to converse already indicates a lot.

If it had been someone else approaching this way, he would surely have donned a mask, summoned Song Chengyue immediately, and angrily ordered that such traitors be captured alive.

After capturing them, he would inform the Old Emperor Qian and execute them in his presence.

With New Five's channel, the significance of the information sent is different.

The next day, the New Emperor Qian participated in a small court gathering as usual, his demeanor stern, his eyes calm, and most times, he treated the courtiers with kindness.

After the small court meeting concluded, the New Emperor Qian went into his secluded chamber, and through another passage, left the palace city quietly and alone.

As the New Emperor, he was not without trustworthy subordinates, but for matters like this, he couldn't find anyone he could completely trust.

Because all his resources, to put it bluntly, were accumulated while depending on the Old Emperor Qian; even those who had followed him for hundreds of years, he dared not say now whether they belonged to the Old Emperor Qian.

The clearer his mind, the more frantic, and thus he recognized how from authority, to power, to charisma, he was no match for the Old Emperor Qian.

The New Emperor Qian left the city alone, adopted a new identity, and even used a Void Escape Scroll to emerge from the Gang Wind Layer and head south.

Even though he couldn't determine the precise location, he could confirm a general direction.

After disappearing, it wasn't long before he reappeared silently in the sky some ten thousand miles away, using another Void Escape Scroll to continue southward.

Within the time of one meal, the New Emperor Qian saw the southern coastline, verified the direction, and flew to the appointed place.

This area was still within Daqian's territory, and he could still fully utilize the power of the Divine Dynasty, though it wasn't as strong as in the Capital City.

The New Emperor Qian altered his form, with several swift movements, landed on an empty beach, took another step, and saw a pavilion suddenly appear in front of him, with Yu Ziqing brewing tea and seated there.

A secret chamber formation had been set up here, with an Array Plate hanging overhead, and its descending light enveloped a hundred yards around.

Yu Ziqing stood up, a slight smile on his face, following a courteous greeting.

"Please sit."

A flash of peculiarity passed through his eyes; the New Emperor Qian arrived faster and much earlier than anticipated.

Moreover, he truly came alone, indicating the New Emperor Qian made an immediate decision without any hesitation.

He even dared to gamble on this not being a trap.

Upon feeling this, Yu Ziqing shivered with a chill down his spine.

True to expectations, when the New Emperor Qian drove away the Devil Thought, only to return to it, Yu Ziqing already knew that the New Emperor Qian would never get rid of that Devil Thought.

Now it seemed, the fellow had most likely swallowed the Devil Thought again.

With the expulsion process in place, swallowing it back, he is likely not controlled by the Devil Thought.

However, there still lies the possibility of things going awry.

This guy was insane, far exceeding Yu Ziqing's expectations for madness.

Once a proper Crown Prince of the Divine Dynasty, now turned Emperor, yet became this person who just seemed alarming to behold.

Old Emperor Qian, did you foresee this?

Indeed, the bloodline of Daqian's Imperial Family is remarkable, with a truly high ratio of talent emergence.

After sitting down, the New Emperor Qian's eyes showed traces of bloodshot veins, his pupils occasionally twitching slightly, as streaks of madness intermittently flashed through.

Before Yu Ziqing said anything, the New Emperor Qian took the lead in speaking.

"You want to deal with him?"

"Yes."

"Your strength is far too lacking; Jinlan Mountain's power is also absolutely insufficient."

Yu Ziqing poured the tea, gestured invitingly.

"Heart Clearing Tea, with sweet rain added, please."

The New Emperor Qian paused, knowing the tea was indeed beneficial to him.

When he came to meet Yu Ziqing, he hadn't intended to feign; Yu Ziqing naturally could discern his state.

Nonetheless, he had prepared Heart Clearing Tea beforehand, clearly knowing what his condition was without meeting face-to-face.
