Chapter 1396 - 367: The Riddler Strikes; The Evil Lord Gnashes His Teeth (5k) _2
There are also endless streams of Evil Dao appearing from who knows where, all heading towards Dadui.
My master is somewhat displeased.
Moreover, it was discovered that the earliest traces of those Evil Dao appeared in the years you fell.
So, my master sent us to ask you, to see if they might be your little brothers, so as to avoid any misunderstandings."
Freedom Heaven had a slight smile on his face, as if to say, what if they are our people, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
The Evil Lord's eyes twitched as he listened, and he seemed to resurrect on the spot, standing upright.
He had been sealed for so many years and eventually abandoned his path, diving back into the Yin Devil Nest.
He didn't want a big black pot falling from the sky, hitting his head.
The Evil Lord blurted out, righteously and sternly.
"There's no need for any misunderstandings, just execute directly, regardless of who it is, lawless and seeking death!"
Setting the tone first.
Even if he went crazy, he wouldn't dare get involved in such matters.
Lou Huai and Freedom Heaven didn't speak, waiting for the Evil Lord to continue.
The Evil Lord sat back down, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"Back then, I was influenced by power, my mind was a bit unclear, this is known.
If any power was spread out back then, to be honest, I'm not too sure, but most likely there was.
As for taking in any people, I don't remember recruiting anyone under me.
Do you remember the details of the ritual?"
Freedom Heaven waved his hand, and dark mist materialized into scattered details.
The Evil Lord took one look, turning so green as if evil energy was shining.
"Possibly...it really seems related to the me of the past, this power is standard Evil Dao.
And it definitely was spread out by the me of that time.
But I honestly don't remember taking in anyone, back then, even with a muddled mind, I truly looked down on those Evil Dao cultivators.
I followed the Way, they followed the Evil, there's a fundamental difference.
I don't even know what these guys are trying to do, I've already abandoned Evil Dao."
"Understood, my master of course knows it has nothing to do with you, just want to ask you how to find these guys and deal with them."
"Is there a Jade Scroll?"
Lou Huai extended a hand, rummaged in his belly, and took out a blank Jade Scroll, handing it to the Evil Lord.
The Evil Lord inscribed on the Jade Scroll for quite a while, then handed it to Lou Huai.
"Take it back and try it, it's all I've got against the Evil Dao.
I can't guarantee it will work, it's been too long after all.
The times are progressing, and Evil Dao now, surely isn't the same as the Evil Dao back then.
A good Evil Dao turning into this ghostly state."
The Evil Lord sighed, at a loss, because the Evil Dao itself had problems, he was greatly affected back then, causing him to completely abandon Evil Dao, restoring his consciousness.
The words "Evil Dao" today have become derogatory.
To say there isn't a feeling in the heart, not feeling bad, is impossible.
"Alright, then you get busy, my master said, the Seven Yin King definitely doesn't dare to appear, whatever you do, do boldly.
If any Evil Dao can summon you, notify us immediately if possible."
"I got it."
Lou Huai and Freedom Heaven left with the Jade Scroll, the Evil Lord sat alone for a while, remembering for a long time, but couldn't recall if he had taken in anyone.
But some details left from the ritual indicated that the power originally originated from him.
He felt uneasy, as someone most familiar with Evil Dao, he naturally knew the serious consequences if it went astray.
Even thinking carefully, he couldn't ignore this matter.
Without knowing the inside story, it certainly was related to him.
Having finally gotten back on track, with strong figures suppressing, making the Seven Yin King not dare to appear, he wouldn't allow anyone to use him to initiate any major events, dragging him back in.
The Evil Lord didn't rush back to the Yin Devil Nest, he headed in the opposite direction, his figure gradually faded, dissolving into the air, disappearing from sight.
...
In the southern Dazhen, a Riddler wearing a dog-skin hat transformed into an ordinary little accountant, joined the Hungry Ghost Trading Company caravan and entered Dazhen.
In the Hengduan Mountains, amidst the snow, a Riddler exuding steam like a regular adventurer was crossing mountains one by one.
To the east of Dali, a small merchant selling Dadui specialties found the Qiguang Trading Company.
The Riddler heeded others' lessons and focused on language training, with profession in accent, common phrases, speaking habits, and tone, unlike those second-rate ones heading to Dadui.
Though experts were few, being a spy, combat power wasn't particularly important.
Having a high realm would actually stand out more.
Song managing from the rear, controlling the situation, relayed the spies' gathered information immediately to the Desk Monster.
Each spy had a low-grade Magical Treasure like a door panel. They would write messages directly on it.
Actually, none of them knew that the Magical Treasure itself had no use, it was just a façade so the Desk Monster could receive messages.
Similarly, new orders and adjustments were sent out immediately.
Efficiency immediately skyrocketed.
Some traces of the Evil Dao were gradually tracked down, though it was minor Evil Dao cultivators, it proved the direction was correct.
The Evil Lord's Jade Scroll was brought back, and methods against the Evil Dao began to be disseminated.
After half a month, the little accountant wearing a dog-skin hat arrived near the Hengduan Mountains, close to the Southern Border, in a small town.
