Master of Strange Dao

Decapitated here, partly to intimidate the scoundrels coming from Daqian.

On the other hand, it's certainly because that small temple ensures that those executed die completely.

The various Dharma Methods in this world are countless, and no one can understand them all.

It might be that there's some strange Dharma Method, where even though someone has been beheaded and their spirit is obliterated, they still end up not dying.

If such a great calamity were to seek revenge in the future, the impact would undoubtedly be significant.

That strange little temple was established here to ensure that the condemned die truly and thoroughly.

Otherwise, why would you see so many people being executed with no repercussions, despite all the Evil Dao being carted away?

Each person beheaded dies very thoroughly, without exception.

It's definitely because of that small temple built here specifically for this purpose!

The court shouldn't think they can fool us!

We all understand!

So, don't think that the small temple is very strange, yet the incense fire isn't weak at all.

Every year after autumn, those who come to watch the executions, whether sincerely or just for psychological comfort, all offer incense.

The small temple has been very quiet in recent months, but it's starting to get lively again because it's nearing the beheading season.

Lately, whether people want to watch the spectacle, rescue prisoners, or investigate why the small temple ensures successful executions, regardless of the reason, the crowd volume has increased.

With increased traffic, those who want to make a profit during this season aren't few.

With many vendors, there are naturally those purely coming to procure goods, ultimately resulting in more crowd flow.

The Yang-destroying Devil has also been quite bored lately, but Yu Ziqing has set up the conditions like this, so there isn't much to say, just waiting for this year's beheading season.

It's uncertain whether they can execute more this year...

Suddenly, the Yang-destroying Devil sensed something and chuckled.

"Six..."

"Six Yang Divine King? Haha, I don't believe you dug this up yourself.

Someone must be chanting your divine name, and I don't believe that person would be so kind.

You've been deceived, haven't I been saying that, but you won't believe me.

Change now, why don't you change?"

The Yang-destroying Devil was amused, unable to express, yet feeling a sense of intellectual superiority.

The Yang-destroying Devil and the Yang-Keeping Devil were once one entity, later even their consciousness split.

Thoughts and consciousness are all different, yet because they originate from the same Source, there's a connection that cannot be severed.

For instance, they are both Yang Devils.

Back in the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, they maintained that undead ghostly appearance, unable to restore to Deities, yet not transforming into Devils.

When the Yang-destroying Devil took on the name Yang Devil, it was as if a choice was made.

Because both are Yang Devils, the Yang-Keeping Devil could never return to being a Deity thereafter.

The Yang-Keeping Devil now only had two choices.

Either stay the same,

Or, like the Yang-destroying Devil, take on the name Yang Devil.

A third option no longer existed.

Both being Yang Devils, it's impossible for one to bear the divine name and the other to take on the devil name.

The Yang-destroying Devil made the choice first, now he's overjoyed, truly afraid the Yang-Keeping Devil would choose first and trick him.

Things are much better now, at least it doesn't affect him.

He's stayed here for so long, not without purpose.

He's heard that the hungry ghost loves to devour Devils.

Now taking on the devil name, at least there's a path, he can try later, just let the hungry ghost devour him.

Succeed or not, there's a bit of hope.

The city has become increasingly lively, on the autumn equinox, the Yang-destroying Devil emerges from his sluggish state, as if waking fully rested, ready to watch the executions.

Condemned prisoners from various places have been brought to Jiachen City.

Aside from East Dui, other places don't have many people.

Dadui is in ruins, preparations for the three Super Large Spirit Transformation Array constructions have begun.

Even if the specific location isn't yet set, don't materials need to be prepared?

Refining materials, crafting special materials, inscribing runes, decomposing Formations, constructing parts of the array base, such a large project can't start immediately.

The number of Qi Refining cultivators in Dadui is already low, further reduced by the Earth Deity disaster in the past.

Now even Loose Cultivators aren't worried about finding work.

No one has time to take the huge risk of murder and robbery.

Only a few are personal grudges that flared up momentarily.

The prisoners mostly came from outside East Dui.

A lot of evil forces have come this time, mostly captured by the Riddler near the border.

Strictly speaking, it was actually in West Qian.

Yes, those Jinyi Wei from West Qian, saving West Qian by curbing these Evil Dao from harming their hometown.

When in Jinyi Wei, they had to follow orders and couldn't act rashly, hence they joined the Riddler.

Yes, that's the story, whether others believe it is their concern.

On the bustling street, heads are bustling, shop-fronts are hosting lively scenes.

Many regular Daqian cultivators have gone wild in procuring Dadui specialties.

In front of the small temple, the first prisoner has been brought to the execution ground.

It seems to be at odds with the distant bustle, yet eerily harmonious.

The blade of the Magic Blade falls, the head drops into the box, spirit obliterated, death clean-cut.

The Yang-destroying Devil seems to switch to another perspective, seeing the beauty of death in that instant.
