Master of Strange Dao

Only Yu Ziqing and Jia Shisi know the true identity of Song.

The others in the Riddler don't actually know, but this doesn't affect them welcoming on the surface.

Face must be given, following orders and obeying commands will happen, but whether there will be respect in their hearts depends on actual capability.

The Riddler respects Yu Ziqing because after Yu Ziqing rose to power, he indeed carried the mess that was Dadui and slowly developed it.

The first basic national policy established was that no one should die of hunger, no one should have no food to eat.

Just this one point, to be honest, was even better than the best outcome anticipated by Yu Ziqing.

Many people were willing to serve till death for this Emperor Dui they had never met.

Not only does Yu Ziqing himself know the taste of hunger, but the vast majority of Dadui's people also know it.

In fact, in some places, there is even a specific day each year where people fast to let the younger generation experience it a little, which has become a custom in some areas.

Many in the Riddler are young, just a hundred or two years old, having experienced the darkest times.

Moreover, when the Faceless Man became the Riddler, even the initial teaching materials were personally compiled by Yu Ziqing.

The core principles were set in a general direction by Yu Ziqing.

The people Yu Ziqing personally brought in led to some doubts among the Riddler, but they wouldn't outwardly comply while resisting internally.

Song took this position, nominally to help out, because Yu Ziqing was afraid that directly making Song the Great Commander of the Riddler would make Song unwilling.

So, he'll first take on the real responsibility and then receive the title.

Song sat behind the table, not rushing to give orders, he first understood what needed to be done, looked at all the existing data, then understood the Riddler's guidelines, and also personally talked with several Riddlers.

He familiarized himself with the overall strength, style, what they're good at, and what they're not.

Ten days later, Song issued the first order.

"Send people to follow the convoy of the Hungry Ghost Trading Company, travel northward, to Dazhen.

Understand the local customs on the way, start tracing those Evil Dao from the filth bucket of Dazhen.

Send someone else to find the roots of the Evil Dao who was beheaded.

I want to know his true origin, where he is ancestrally from.

Every person in this world must have roots.

The saying 'Where is your home' must have a reason.

Leaving Dadui, when things come up, first stabilize yourself.

In the western Dali, if you need help, you can make use of the Hungry Ghost Trading Company.

In the east, you can look for the Qiguang Trading Company.

In Dazhen, if needed, you can find Gu Shitou... never mind, find Gu Shitou's wife instead.

As for Daqian, the target this time is not in Daqian, let's talk about it later."

Song rambled on, arranging things for a day, him commanding the Riddler for the first time, and knowing that Riddler was weak externally, he arranged things to be more complex.

Regardless of whether they were tricked into being here, since they're here, he didn't want things to mess up.

The various external supports that could be used, Yu Ziqing had already told him, and he wasn't polite.

As for why he didn't mention the external assistance from Daqian, because with him sitting here, and the Table Monster also here, they were the biggest intelligence support, there was no need to find more people.

The Table Monster wouldn't have the idea of needing to keep what intelligence it knows secret on his behalf.

Whatever intelligence I know through my own ability, it's none of your damn business.

The first external action of the Riddler started silently.

One by one, the Riddlers left from various directions, by various means, from Dadui, heading towards their destinations.

Meanwhile, Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai had also left Dadui, infiltrating Dali.

"Do you feel like my big brother is becoming more and more unfathomable, even though he hasn't advanced?" Lou Huai muttered, calling him my big brother at every turn.

"The path that adults follow is different from that of ordinary cultivators, it's not quite fitting to judge him by the cultivator's realm."

Freedom Heaven regretted not being thick-skinned enough to learn from Lou Huai, calling him big brother at every turn.

Having mixed in with the human race for so long, he still understood there's a big difference between adults and big brother.

Those called adults, no matter how capable, have the potential to be abandoned.

People called big brother, no matter how useless, when things happen, big brother mostly would cuss, beat, and still lend a hand to save.

"Lou Huai, do you think it's appropriate for me to call him big brother too?"

"What do you want to do?" Lou Huai was a bit wary.

"I just feel this way makes us closer, in the future when I'm the Heavenly Devil King, it would be safer."

"Just do your job well, it's just that you think too much, if things are done well, my big brother won't treat us poorly."

Freedom Heaven suddenly realized, it wasn't that Lou Huai was thicker-skinned, but that Lou Huai had a clearer understanding.

Freedom Heaven settled down, also feeling that thinking too much was useless, better to do things right first.

The two arrived in a city of Dali, squatted by a little cart Yin Devil, tailed the little cart Yin Devil into the Yin Devil Nest, and contacted the Evil Lord.

The Evil Lord led a little cart Yin Devil, swaying out of the Yin Devil Nest.

In the corner of the city, the Evil Lord lay there weakly.

"What happened?"

"My big brother asked me to ask you if you sent anything out when you fell, or if anyone was following you."

"Hmm? What exactly happened?" The Evil Lord lifted his eyelids, sensing something was amiss.

Freedom Heaven cast a glance at Lou Huai, immediately taking over the conversation.

"Some Evil Dao ran to Dadui, trying to disrupt the execution ground with rituals.
