Master of Strange Dao

Wang Zixuan had been living in Jiachen City, and even after the beheading season ended, he didn't leave. He even spent a hefty sum to buy a house.

If it weren't for the mysterious Riddler, who knew he was brought by Yi Sijiu, thinking he could buy a house in Jiachen City would have been wishful thinking.

Even outside the prime real estate of the eastern city, in the relatively less crowded western city, for someone with an unclear identity like him to buy a house, the Riddler would likely pay him a visit on the very day to offer a "welcome."

Having bought a house, he lived like an ordinary person. Every morning when he woke up, he needed to eat breakfast until he realized that ordinary people don't eat out every day.

Inviting someone over didn't feel right, doing it himself didn't have the right taste—not that the flavor was off, but it lacked the warmth of life.

So Wang Zixuan pulled on Yu Ziqing's coattails, using the two Riddlers he found as brokers, and acquired a small shop off the main street in the western city.

Running a shop meant having no time to cook was normal, and eating out every day was therefore justifiable.

As for what to sell in the shop, he hadn't decided yet, and the renovations had yet to begin.

Just as this leisurely daily life was unfolding in an orderly manner, a bastard from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World told him that the one who was dormant had gone missing, disappeared.

Fortunately, the last time he was teased by Yu Ziqing's sarcastic remarks, he lifted the barrier, or he wouldn't have received the call this time.

Wang Zixuan was rather restless, even though he had sent off Long Bridge and little black to safety.

But what if, what if that person came out, not quite right in the head, and decided to kill him first to make an example, to vent some anger?

So Wang Zixuan immediately contacted Yu Ziqing, and waited here for Yu Ziqing to arrive.

When Yu Ziqing suddenly appeared, Wang Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately conveyed the news to Yu Ziqing.

He was somewhat nervous because he vaguely sensed a slight unique aura and knew something significant had surely happened.

Now that the person suddenly vanished, he was a bit expectant, wondering if that person had already been obliterated.

Then, he directly asked the question.

"No, you're overthinking it. That person in the Mud Sea of the Muddied World couldn't possibly be obliterated without reason."

"What a pity..." Wang Zixuan sighed deeply, looking regretfully disappointed.

Yu Ziqing glanced towards the eastern city, thinking that if there were another fallen god next time, without the Yang-destroying Devil witnessing it personally, that Devil's mentality would surely crumble completely.

"Do you think he has escaped?"

"I don't know, but he certainly hasn't been obliterated."

Yu Ziqing casually replied, not appearing too concerned.

Wang Zixuan, seeing Yu Ziqing's lack of reaction, was rather unsettled.

He was counting on sticking with this big shot to live a peaceful life. Having a proper job, that would be the best.

"Don't you need to find out what's going on?"

"No need to investigate, he definitely hasn't been obliterated, and he hasn't escaped either. Don't worry, he won't affect you. Even if something happens, living in Jiachen City, why worry?"

"Ah..."

"Have you paid your respects in the eastern city?"

"I went, but that person wasn't very interested in me."

"Kicked you out?"

"No, not that."

"That's significant. If there's a problem, just hide there."

Hearing this, Wang Zixuan exhaled deeply, his posture relaxing, feeling much more at ease.

It was all about waiting for Yu Ziqing to say something. Otherwise, he feared dying in front of that influential figure who enjoyed watching beheadings would just lead to regret that he didn't die by beheading.

Yu Ziqing thought the current Yang-destroying Devil was no big deal, but in Wang Zixuan's eyes, the Devil was still one of the past greats among the All Gods.

Back then, the Yang Devil was more prestigious and powerful than that person in the Mud Sea of the Muddied World.

In the past, it could match the peak warriors among the Hundred Clans and even go toe-to-toe with the Mountain Lord, making the Mountain Lord use various godly skills, rumored to include the Treasure Skill.

Yet it still managed to remain Undying and maintain its state forcibly.

Even the God of Slaying didn't have such achievements back then.

Now, at first glance, it seemed strange, like that hooligan from the eastern city who watched beheadings for fun, yet during the beheading season, an occasional fearsome aura would emerge, making Wang Zixuan a bit uneasy.

Taking account of having the Yang-destroying Devil's slight protection, without Long Bridge and those little black, that person from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World wasn't a big problem anymore.

"If anything happens, just contact me directly.

I must say, you guys are really convenient to communicate with.

If you have nothing to do, research whether that communication of yours can be converted to a Human Secret Technique or even a Magical Treasure."

"I can't do that..." Wang Zixuan was a bit bewildered; he couldn't handle these things.

"No worries, I'll find someone who knows to work with you. Didn't you want a proper job?

Isn't this perfect? By then, you'll have a dean-level big shot doing research with you.

The last major achievement of those Deans was the Spirit Transformation Array.

There's no job in the world more proper than this.

Also, you were worried about that person?

I'll send you to South Sea Island to research there; it's extremely safe."

"But it's supposed to be in Jiachen City; I've just bought a house here..."

"South Sea Island is definitely safer than Jiachen City. The entire Southern Sea is the territory of a big shot, and not to mention that person in the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, even a bug entering the Southern Sea wouldn't escape notice."
