Chapter 1397 - 367: The Riddler Strikes, the Evil Lord Gnashes His Teeth (5k)_3
He took out a piece of Beast Skin, on which a large number of talismans were written. As soon as it was unfolded, a trace of Evil Qi drifted through the air and landed on a corner of the Beast Skin.
"Again, there's so much Evil Dao in Dazhen..."
The small accountant took out a Magical Treasure, made his routine progress report, and quietly came to a small town, finding an ordinary household.
At night, the small accountant infiltrated it and found the source of that faint Evil Qi, which was in the well in the backyard.
Quietly infiltrating it, he saw at the bottom of the well, a passage that led straight to the underground.
After walking underground for several miles, he arrived at a suddenly open space, in which a gigantic underground area was full of burgeoning Evil Qi.
At the center of the space was a Sacrificial Altar, and someone there was shouting in a deep voice.
"The world misunderstood a lot, Evil Dao was originally created by our human ancestors.
In times of great crisis, to survive, we had no choice but to take a crooked path.
But the descendants did not live up to expectations, caring only about going astray.
Today, we, under the mandate of heaven, will rescue the Evil Dao Lord and set things right.
One day, our Evil Dao can also walk openly and uprightly in the world.
Never again will Evil Dao cultivators be purged just because they are Evil Dao."
Beneath the altar, many of the Evil Dao, whether they truly believed these words or were just excited about creating a big incident, were not clear.
Anyway, at a glance, these people seemed as if they were Devilic.
"If we do not fight, we will have no more opportunities."
"Yes, you are right. In those days, Devil Dao cultivators were like us, and now they appear openly as well."
The fanatical atmosphere, mixed with chaotic Evil Qi, made this place increasingly Strange.
Suddenly, the person on the altar abruptly raised his head and glanced towards the small accountant's direction.
His face was adorned with a stiff and Strange smile.
In the passage, the small accountant restrained all his energy, relying solely on his physical body to cling there, motionless with closed eyes.
When the person on the altar shifted his gaze, a few Evil Dao quietly floated towards the entrance of the passage.
Meanwhile, in the passage, the small accountant, with his eyes closed, retreated rapidly in silence, like a gecko, solely relying on pure physical strength, leaving through the well without even using Qi-Blood.
A moment later, an Evil Dao returned, shook his head slightly at the person on the altar from a distance.
Only then did the person on the altar feel at ease and continued to deceive the others.
"Earlier in Dadui, there was some exposure.
We must find the information left by that fellow Daoist; he could not have left nothing behind.
The information he left must be in Dazhen.
Be careful with your actions, find it quickly, as it concerns the grand scheme."
Following this, there was a Sacrificial Text, the purpose of which was to trace the Evil Lord's whereabouts.
To set up a Dao Mark for the Evil Lord's return.
However, at the top of the cave, the formless Evil Lord hung upside down, with an expression as ugly as it could be.
Because he sensed absolutely nothing during the ritual supposedly intended for sacrificing to him.
If it was merely those bastards using his name to create chaos, that would be manageable.
The problem was, he truly sensed that the ritual received a response.
This was a big issue.
He must personally go to see Yu Ziqing.
Before that, he had to figure out what these people were looking for.
Thinking about the young Body Cultivator who just infiltrated, the Evil Lord thought to himself, since someone has already noticed this place, he isn't needed anymore.
The Evil Lord quietly left, returning from a small town to the Yin Devil Nest, and then through the Yin Devil Nest, he emerged from a small town in the southwest of Dali.
Two days later, the small accountant quietly found a Shopkeeper from the Hungry Ghost Trading Company.
Following this, news spread that a lot of the resources that the Hungry Ghost Trading Company had just traded from Dazhen had been stolen before they even left Dazhen.
In less than a two-hour period, there was inexplicable battle turbulence in the small town.
Evil Qi surged skyward.
By this time, the matter of the thief was no longer important.
One by one, the Evil Dao flew into the sky, scattering in all directions, creating chaos like a boiling pot.
In the distance, tunneling lights were rushing in swiftly.
By the time Li Xingchen personally appeared and arrived here, a section of the small town's surface had collapsed, revealing the passage, and exposing the underground Evil Dao base.
Li Xingchen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
There was an Evil Dao base here, still in the town, and they dared to rob the Hungry Ghost Trading Company's goods; this was intolerable.
Dazhen is currently stable overall because of the contract signed with Dadui, which stabilizes it from slipping.
If it slipped again and fell into chaos, it would be hard to stop it.
In recent days, more people have been killed over basic resources than in the previous decades.
Now the Evil Dao is acting up again.
It hasn't been long since Dazhen was harmed by the Evil Dao, can this be tolerated?
The Faceless Man immediately took action, clearing the Evil Dao across the entire region.
Amid chaos, the small accountant, who had been conducting investigations secretly, spent money to buy a small courtyard in the small town, saying it would be a place to rest when coming to Dazhen in the future.
At night, the small accountant took out a door-panel Magical Treasure and set it up, writing upon it.
"Ding Sansan reports, this subordinate has tracked down the Evil Dao's final residence, located above the Evil Dao base.
This place had already been thoroughly dug and examined inside and out long ago.
Yet, this subordinate found the same stone fragment here, inferring that there must be an issue here.
This subordinate used the Hungry Ghost Trading Company to expose the Evil Dao base, causing them to scatter and flee.
Please have an officer bring the stone fragment to investigate."
On the other side, at the northeastern border of Dadui, Yu Ziqing met with the Evil Lord here.
"Certain matters, I believe I must tell you personally."
The Evil Lord recounted his previous observations and then said with a gloomy face.
"Those Evil Dao bastards are using my name to create chaos.
Likewise, there is another bastard, somehow capable of using my name to respond to a ritual."
"What is the situation?" Yu Ziqing frowned slightly.
"Using my name and making me unaware, there's only one possibility.
He's not primarily using my name; actually, he's borrowing the Evil Dao.
He's borrowing the Evil Dao to manipulate those Evil Dao cultivators.
I can assure you, anything that involves those Evil Dao cultivators cannot be good.
Moreover, they're in Dazhen, yet for unknown reasons, they're involving Dadui.
But all I can think of are things that could shake Dadui Country's fortune."
