Master of Strange Dao

No matter how much infamy it bears, Dazhen will not give up the chance to survive.

In such a situation, if the comprehensively strongest Divine Dynasty of Daqian harbors any thoughts against Dali, the chance is eighty percent great.

If Dali is also destroyed, then Dazhen would certainly be doomed.

In the end, Daqian is bound to pay a huge price, but Daqian stands a great chance to become the only one still standing.

The new Emperor Qian put the Classics back, as if seeing that father he could only watch from behind, even if he abdicated, even if he severed ties with the national fortune, he still controlled everything.

Upon becoming Emperor, he understood that if there was enormous benefit dangled ahead, as an Emperor, there was absolutely no way to stop it.

Old Emperor Qian has done all that should be done, without managing anything, things will certainly advance towards a predetermined direction.

And the so-called doing nothing is only superficial.

The new Emperor Qian understands well, there must be more unknown and unseen places, where he has no idea what arrangements Old Emperor Qian has made.

The new Emperor Qian doesn't understand, why?

Why do these things, yet still laboriously sever ties with Daqian?

He believes his judgment won't be wrong, even if many details lack solid proof, he still believes it's his father, who spent significant time on these schemes.

So, what is the purpose?

He cannot figure it out.

He extended his hand and peeled off the Painted Skin, revealing a White Water Egg face, even more bewildered as to what this appearance is for.

He must understand these things, only by understanding, will he have targeted resistance.

He doesn't want his resistance to even be part of the other's plan.

The Painted Skin twisted slowly in the new Emperor Qian's hand, crumpled into a ball, and slowly torn.

After a long while, he calmed down, draped the cracked Painted Skin back on, and the cracked lines on his face gradually restored, and the distorted features slowly returned to their position.

His expression is steady and calm, with madness in his eyes.

"This matter, must be the first step you mentioned."

He was already forced to disappear, perhaps the Tenth Tier path has opened, he cannot advance in a short time.

Well then, now it's my turn."

The next day, Song Chengyue was summoned by the new Emperor Qian.

"Have you heard about the rumors coming from the north lately?"

Song Chengyue felt a tightness in his heart.

How could he not know.

The rumor spread from Dazhen, saying Old Emperor Qian is insane, just to destroy Dazhen, forcing Dazhen to head south and battle Dali to the death.

Thanks to Jade Tablet, this rumor has already spread to Daqian, and coincidentally, there's no way to trace the source, even if tracked, it's useless.

"I have heard of it and captured some who spread the rumors, but the rumors came from the north...

I am incapable, powerless to control."

Old Song admitted his fault honestly, it's not the past when he could control the information distribution channels.

Even if Jinyi Wei is domineering, they can't run to Dali and kill the person controlling a frequency band.

If they did, it would only fuel the flames.

"It's not your fault, I heard you had remarkable results in negotiating with Dadui this time." The new Emperor Qian gently complimented Song Chengyue.

Upon leaving the palace city, Song Chengyue always felt something was off, yet he couldn't pinpoint it.

For some reason, he felt the new Emperor recently always gave him a sense of unease, a feeling of danger he couldn't quite describe.

Returning to the Jinyi Wei government office, after handling affairs, a face silently appeared on the desk.

The eyes of the desk Monster glanced around for a while, then murmured softly.

"Song Chengyue, can I trust you?"

Song Chengyue's gaze sharpened, with a wave of his hand, he sealed the room, closed the door, turning it into a secret chamber.

After confirming there were no problems, he sat down again and slowly said.

"Between us, there's no need for this, right?"

The desk Monster was quite satisfied with Old Song's caution and sighed heavily.

"I know, you can surely be trusted, but I still couldn't help but ask."

"I wish to say a few things to you, but speaking them would be like letting the arrow fly without turning back."

"Speak then."

"I advise you, it's time to find a way out for yourself, I think Dadui would suit well."

"You're letting me defect?" Song Chengyue was somewhat shocked, he could accept such words from others, but hearing them from the desk Monster truly shocked him.

"Don't say it so harshly, it's not called defecting."

"I'm genuinely looking out for you, quickly find a way out for yourself."

"Dadui will surely accept you, trust me."

"Why are you suddenly advising me?" Song Chengyue suppressed his inner shock, furrowing his brows at the desk Monster's face.

"When you find a way out and leave, could you take me with you, consider it my gratitude."

"Why?" Song Chengyue was puzzled, he could even sense, the desk Monster seemed a bit afraid.

"Don't ask, I'm really scared to say."

"Right now, I really hate myself for knowing too much."

"The issue is, it's not like I intentionally wanted to know so much, I have no choice."

"I'm truly terrified, Song Chengyue, trust me."

"I'm indeed trying to flee, but urging you to leave is also genuinely for your own good."

"This Daqian, really can't stay."

"The path I can think of, now only Dadui remains."

"Can you promise me?"

The desk Monster's mindset was slightly unstable, no longer had the usual lethargic ghostly appearance.

Seeing Song Chengyue furrowed his brows and remained silent, the desk Monster immediately added.

"If you don't leave, then someday when I need you, can you completely destroy my true form? I'm begging you."

The desk Monster looked pleading, Song Chengyue's face turned grim, and his heart tightened.

He didn't know what the desk Monster discovered to be so scared, preferring to die at Song Chengyue's hand.

"Alright, if that day comes, I will at least personally destroy you."

Song Chengyue did not follow the path and maintained caution, making the desk Monster a bit anxious.

"Have you truly not considered going to Dadui?"

"Have you ever wondered why you're still alive right now?"

"Why this time you could bring back your subordinates?"

"Have you ever considered whether some of your subordinates have already been won over by Dadui?"

"Have you thought about why they were persuaded?"

"Song Chengyue, I've lived long enough to see plenty of unbelievable things."

"And I've done enough for Daqian."

"If it weren't for being forced, I really wouldn't want to leave."

"I can only tell you this, because I think it's safe, anything more is unsafe."

Song Chengyue furrowed his brows and looked grim.

"Your current demeanor quite resembles Dadui's Riddler, just as annoying as those people, never speaking comprehensibly."
