Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing had already provided enough information beforehand, including first-hand information obtained from the Deceitful Ghost.

What things have what prices, what things outside are not available in Dadui, what Dadui has that the outside does not, the demand quantity, how to set prices, etc., everything was already prepared in advance.

The language issue had also begun to be addressed long ago, ensuring that basic communication wouldn't be a problem after several generations.

These were areas where Yu Ziqing could clearly see the differences and had already listed them out in tables, with specific implementations handled by Zhang and the other five Cabinet members.

As for Jia Shisi, also a Cabinet member, he at most voiced opinions, and wouldn't directly participate in the implementation phase.

Yu Ziqing stood on the sacrificial altar, gazing eastward, as the archway, the original gateway of Dadui, transformed into a stream of light and merged into the Dadui Jade Seal at this moment.

He descended from the altar, the hungry ghost form he revealed had also receded, his eyes carrying a trace of weariness, merely wanting to find a place to rest.

At least to dispel the dense ominous aura around him...

He could endure it, but others might not withstand the ominous aura emanating from him.

Fortunately, he had discussed it numerous times with Zhang and the others before, so he wouldn't need to worry about it moving forward.

After all, there wouldn't be any major actions right away, stabilizing for a few years and addressing various issues that might arise later would be more important.

Yu Ziqing, alone, sat beneath the sacrificial altar, and before long, Jia Shisi flew over first.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just borrowed the power of the hungry ghost, brought in some ominous aura, a bit tired. I just need to rest for a bit.

Moving forward, the borders are now contiguous with Daqian and Dali.

Cultivators from all over can now enter Dadui.

Even though most people might be cautious, remain vigilant against some reckless outlaws, Evil Dao, and opportunists.

Also, there are Faceless Men in Dazhen as well.

The name Faceless Men isn't very auspicious, starting today, it will officially be renamed to Riddlers.

The books I gave you before, have you studied them?"

"Yes, I have studied them, and the direction set by your Majesty, I have been cultivating in the Riddlers for quite a while now.

The first batch of Riddlers has actually already spread across various parts of Dadui."

Jia Shisi's eyes flashed with a hint of peculiarity, he had no objections to the renaming.

He even felt that the general direction given by Yu Ziqing was very good.

At least in terms of confidentiality, it was definitely much better than the Faceless Men of the past.

It's just that he always felt there was an indescribable malice between the lines of his Majesty's writings.

"Very well, in the early days of return, eliminate those who need to be eliminated without hesitation.

These state letters, have been drafted well by Zhang and the others; you send a Riddler to deliver them to the Three Divine Dynasties.

Hmm, small countries like Kuihou Country, and the Dragon Clan of the East Sea, send one as well.

Consider this the initial mission of the Riddlers.

As for formal diplomatic missions, we can discuss that in a few years."

Yu Ziqing took out several state letters, sealed them with the Jade Seal, and handed them to Jia Shisi.

Jia Shisi wanted to say that sending state letters using Riddlers didn't seem quite appropriate.

Upon reconsideration, realizing this was indeed the initial task for Riddlers, oh, understood, it was also a way to demonstrate strength.

The target of opposition, naturally were the Jinyi Wei, Shadow Department, and Faceless Men.

Yu Ziqing, of course, didn't know Jia Shisi had thought so much; the name "Riddlers" was simply coined from being annoyed, just to annoy back.

As for the rest, he genuinely didn't want to be tied to such face-saving matters.

Yu Ziqing did not return to the palace city but found a place, buried himself in the ground, and fell asleep deeply.

He was indeed too tired...

In his slumber, the Yang God also closed its eyes, following him into a deep sleep.

A vast amount of ominous aura gradually sank into the Yang God.

Then, a white bone divine bridge, covered in thorns, appeared at the center, spanning vertically, linking the Refining God and Body Refinement.

Everything evolved naturally, and the power began to undergo a cycle.

Using the White Bone Divine Bridge as a medium, what were originally mutually restricting forces now truly began to facilitate each other.

...

South of Jinlan Mountain, Han Dong gazed toward Dadui; Dadui's territory, though not encompassing Jinlan Mountain, was adjacent to the Forbidden Land of Jinlan Mountain.

Han Dong felt a bit of longing, wishing to spar with the blade dao master in Dadui, as no living blade dao master could engage him in mutual advancement.

"Hmph..." A cold snort came from the room.

Han Dong immediately gathered his thoughts, forced a laugh, and returned to the room.

"Isn't there suddenly a new neighbor, a Divine Dynasty neighbor, I have to be vigilant..."

"Haven't you noticed, none of the strong of Jinlan Mountain reacted at all?"

"What do you mean?"

"Except for that stupid dog, no one else came to take a look at the south."

"What do you mean?"

"Hmph." The female Ba did not want to speak, it was so obvious yet he couldn't see...

The last time Han Dong disregarded her words and rushed out only to be used by Old Emperor Qian, though she no longer cared about the incident that had already happened.

But that didn't mean she wouldn't use it as an excuse to chide him to learn from the past.

The courtyard began to bustle, prompting Han Dong to abandon thoughts of outside matters and blade dao masters, instead focusing on placating the female Ba.

...

Yu Ziqing was right, just as Dadui returned and the shock began to dissipate.

The Shadow Department of Dali, Jinyi Wei of Daqian, and numerous other forces began to make moves.
