Master of Strange Dao

That is the manifestation of Daqian Power.

It still has a bit of connection with Daqian.

Even though this connection has a minimal effect, any decent court official would have this link with the Divine Dynasty Power.

Old Emperor Qian raised his hand, and the gathered power did not attack the female Ba. He raised his hand to touch the blood mark on his forehead, and the gathered power restored the trace of blood.

It was as if when he raised his hand, it was to recover that injury that had not yet appeared.

That crack was actually opened by him voluntarily, his flesh, Divine Soul, and power were all like this.

A slight smile still hung on Old Emperor Qian's face.

"Fellow Daoist cut me with a sword, and also severed the blood connection between us. From today on, we are clear of each other."

After saying this, Old Emperor Qian did not look at the female Ba or give Han Dong another glance, and with one step, he disappeared.

In the Gang Wind Layer, Old Emperor Qian glanced down at the Jinlan Mountain Forbidden Land, which now covered an area of one or two thousand miles. Vaguely, he could still sense a special divine charm hidden within Jinlan Mountain.

Recalling the divine charm far beyond his understanding that he once felt, a hint of dread flickered in his eyes, and he continued northward.

This time, he was just passing by and handling a matter along the way.

Because such a big Silver Lake disappeared just like that, he could only choose another place.

This time, the place he chose was the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

This was a backup location, only chosen because he could not fully control it; he had indeed not planned to use it before.

The Silver Lake flowed away, into the Southern Sea, and it was impossible for him to go to the Southern Sea, as there are even more uncontrolled areas.

Old Emperor Qian came quickly and left quickly as well.

By the time the female Ba arrived, Han Dong had already withdrawn his sword.

"What happened? Is he using you again?"

Han Dong paused for a moment and nodded.

"I severed his connection with Daqian Country's fate. I could feel that he did it deliberately, but by the time I noticed, it was too late to stop."

As he spoke, Han Dong extended his hand and took out the transparent, still beating heart.

The female Ba's heart skipped a beat; she didn't care about that heart, she simply stepped forward and gently cradled Han Dong's head to her chest.

She understood too well that no matter how much she reminded Han Dong in advance, it was useless.

Her man simply cared about her so much that his heart was easily shaken.

Now, saying anything would be useless.

Old Emperor Qian had already used Han Dong to achieve what he wanted to do.

"Let's go home." The female Ba muttered softly.

Han Dong persistently held that beating heart; he also wanted the female Ba to be completely whole.

The female Ba received the heart, took out a box, and placed it inside.

She didn't believe Old Emperor Qian would be so kind as to truly give her such a sweet fruit; she'd rather not have it.

Back in the south of Jinlan Mountain, the female Ba flipped out her sleeping coffin, placed the box containing the heart inside, and thoroughly sealed the coffin, then carried it to the edge of the locust forest.

She slightly bowed to the locust forest.

"I trouble you all to help keep it safe for a while."

From the locust forest, a bunch of hungry ghosts immediately came out and returned the salute, dragging the coffin into the locust forest.

The massive roots of locust trees stirred, emerging from the layer of fallen leaves, wrapping around the coffin, and sinking it beneath the locust forest.

Han Dong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say a single word.

He felt it was better to keep quiet and listen to his wife's arrangements.

The coffin was submerged beneath the locust forest, and the female Ba took out a letter, fully documenting the incident, and handed it to a hungry ghost.

"Please inform Young Master Qing; there's something important, and this letter must be delivered to Young Master Qing personally."

Back at the small courtyard, the female Ba sat there sulking, unable to really blame Han Dong because Han Dong's intentions were good; facing Old Emperor Qian, being easily manipulated was helpless, and in the end, she could only sulk alone.

Before returning to the small courtyard, Han Dong did not even bring back his sword, leaving it stuck at the edge of the locust forest. That sword, which had accumulated a thousand years of power, was thoroughly exhausted this time.

A few days later, Yu Ziqing, upon receiving the notification, returned to Jinlan Mountain and got the letter.

In the letter, the female Ba recounted the events in full detail, writing the letter only to prevent any accidents, thus documenting it at the first instance.

Yu Ziqing inquired around, and nobody noticed anything unusual; the battlefield at that time was somewhat distant from Jinlan Mountain and was within the Gang Wind Layer, and it was only a single sword strike.

Subsequent to the event, Old Emperor Qian certainly did not approach Jinlan Mountain.

Yu Ziqing read with furrowed brows, somewhat shocked; that old crone's ambition was truly immense.

Perhaps from a very long time ago, he had already planned for this scene today.

The appearance of the female Ba, her encounter and development with Han Dong, was it all to give Han Dong a huge flaw, ensuring this scene would not meet with accident?

After all, if Han Dong had no woman in his heart, drawing the sword would have truly ascended him.

In this situation, how much effort had Old Emperor Qian expended to get Han Dong to cooperate and draw his sword, especially when his heart was shaken?

Yu Ziqing felt a headache, not because he intended to engage in conspiracy theories, but because it resembled it so closely...

Could there really be someone so evil, cold-blooded, and capable of planning so well?

The letter said, in the end, Old Emperor Qian headed northward.

This meant he was about to choose a new location to cross the tribulation; what's to the north?

The only thing Yu Ziqing could think of that might be connected is the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

This guy is truly daring; not only did he sever the connection with Daqian Country's destiny, but he's also daring enough to go to the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land to cross the tribulation afterward. Is he really worried the Heavenly Tribulation isn't strong enough?

Alright, as you wish.

Yu Ziqing went to the south of Jinlan Mountain, said a few comforting words to Han Dong; for such a "wife's man" and honest person, no one had a solution.

He chatted with the female Ba for quite a while, learned that the heart was buried in the locust forest.

Once finished, Yu Ziqing immediately went to the Mountain Abyss.

It had been a long time since he visited the Mountain Lord here, and this time there was something that he had to notify the Mountain Lord.

"Brother, there's a matter, I have to inform you in advance.

The impact is significant.

I've decided, Dadui shall return."
