Master of Strange Dao

Instead, the red cloth covering the Yang-destroying Devil's plaque absorbed so much power that it appeared bright enough to start dripping blood.

With just one glance, Yu Ziqing felt as though he was facing death directly.

Reaching out and touching it, the world before him transformed into a sea of blood, heads piled like mountains, a roaring ocean of blood without grievances, only pure death.

Yu Ziqing looked around; endless, with no roads, an overwhelming Death Qi, only pure death, without a trace of life.

Yu Ziqing withdrew his hand, and all the illusions before his eyes dissipated, leaving only that blood color fading bit by bit from the edge of the world until returning to normal after a few breaths.

"Did you give all your power to this red cloth?"

"That's right, I couldn't find a way out, so I had to do this."

Yu Ziqing was speechless; a piece of red cloth had been nurtured into the embryo of a great weapon.

Could this Yang-destroying Devil really change so much after firming his will?

"Oh, there's one more thing; I was so busy earlier that I forgot to tell you."

The Yang-destroying Devil briefly explained how he sensed the Yang-keeping Devil had reclaimed the divine name from the past.

After saying all he knew, he remained silent.

"Six Yang Divine King, ah, no wonder...," Yu Ziqing realized, no wonder the Yang-destroying Devil was significantly stronger than those bastards in the Mud Sea of the Muddied World.

"Isn't there supposed to be only one Divine King?"

"Who said there's only one? There are several kings; I forgot how many exactly."

"Did you sense where the Yang-keeping Devil was before?"

"I couldn't sense him; only knew he was in the Void. Even after the divine name was recited, I couldn't sense his exact location at all. It's quite odd, but there're so many strange places in the Void; if he's in a special location, I wouldn't be able to sense him either."

"Tell me more about the prisoner rescue incident before..."

One day later, Yu Ziqing left Jiachen City and headed east.

This time he didn't bring the Dadui Jade Seal and suppressed his Dao Court cultivation, stepping into West Qian.

After delving a thousand miles into West Qian, he reached the location of the Sacrificial altar as told by the Yang-destroying Devil.

Yu Ziqing hovered in mid-air, overlooking the ground, faintly seeing some remaining traces, but the Sacrificial altar had long since vanished, cleaned out thoroughly.

What made him frown most was sensing leftover filth Qi.

It had been cleaned up here a long time ago, and to prevent tracking, filth Qi was used for cleansing.

Hmm, it should be the sub-new version for external sale from Jinlan Mountain, with the largest inventory, and it's replaced annually.

Trying to trace from this point is impossible.

However, this indicates that these people have no idea and haven't seen the full power of the Mixed Yuan Gold Bowl.

If Wu Shuangge handled the cleansing, there wouldn't be the slightest filth Qi residue at this place.

So, either the person doing the cleansing couldn't sense the weak residue.

Or, they could detect slight residue but couldn't do anything about it, hence used the sub-new version filth bucket for cleaning.

Yu Ziqing hadn't realized someone started using filth buckets for cleansing now.

Upon thinking, it's likely due to updates and replacements, with discarded and broken filth buckets increasing, allowing people to get hold of them.

These people were really cautious, but it's unknown whose side they are from.

Definitely not Jinyi Wei, because having that kind of power doesn't happen overnight; Song just retired days ago.

The new Emperor Qian is probably not involved; this guy likely wouldn't bother with such probing.

So, there's at least a seventy percent chance it's the Riddler capturing a rather significant death row prisoner, forcing them to rescue them without daring to openly steal from prison, resorting to some tricks to cover up, then take the person away.

Rescuing a death row prisoner is extremely difficult.

But sneaking away a corpse drops the difficulty significantly by several levels.

Also, a thirty percent chance it's meant for probing, not probing the small temple.

But testing Dadui.

Dadui returned just recently, and someone dared to snatch from the execution ground; that's intolerable.

They must punch hard; otherwise, everyone will think Dadui is easy to bully.

Unfortunately, these guys are too naive, thinking this way he couldn't track them?

Yu Ziqing took out the Jade Scroll, sending a message to Jinlan Mountain, asking Wu Shuangge to come personally.

For all these years, Wu Shuangge hasn't done much beside dealing with filth Qi, nurturing the Mixed Yuan Gold Bowl.

When Wu Shuangge arrived, Yu Ziqing didn't idle around; he waited until night, then looked up at the Bright Moon in the sky, directly using the Moonlight Divine Skills.

Everything around seemed to be reversing, and as the scene emerged, Yu Ziqing couldn't help but lean back.

He seemed to see filth Qi surging towards him, with most of the screen filled with filth Qi.

Yu Ziqing truly didn't expect that once he used filth Qi for cleansing and imitating people's spying, it's now utilized by someone to prevent him from spying.

Yu Ziqing even suspected whether they learned this trick from him.

The more he thought, the more plausible it seemed; he definitely was the first to do this.

After replaying for a while, Yu Ziqing decided to give up.

Just like a painting splattered with gold water, largely contaminated, it was impossible to make out anything clear.

The further back he pushed, the clearer it became, yet Yu Ziqing chose not to make too much effort and temporarily gave up.

Dispelling the Divine Skills, Yu Ziqing ritualistically thanked the Moon God, offering his regards.
