Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1734 - 468: Earth Cage, Petrification

Yu Ziqing carefully kept sensing for a long time, confirming that Dean Hua was definitely, thoroughly dead.Peeling destroyed his flesh and Divine Soul, while the Deep Sea Strange absorbed Dean Hua's wisdom.

Given this Deep Sea Strange's obsession with wisdom, Yu Ziqing did not think Dean Hua had even the slightest chance of surviving.

Moreover, while Yu Ziqing couldn't fully understand Dean Hua's thoughts, he could understand more than half.

Dao Cultivators, more or less, all have that mentality of "if I can hear the Dao in the morning, I can die in the evening without regret."

If it were a great problem they had pursued their entire life yet never found an answer to, and they were asked to trade their life for that answer—

Yu Ziqing believed that the stronger the Dao Cultivator, the more willing they would be to accept.

Even Yang, back when he was seeking the Dao, wasn't all that confident himself; he was making attempts while embracing a mindset of certain death.

If there were absolute assurance, then it wouldn't be the unknown, wouldn't be a road no one had walked before.

If Yu Ziqing hadn't lent a hand at the critical moment, Yang would actually have long been dead.

After repeatedly confirming again that the Deep Sea Strange had of its own accord buried itself into the Green Land, and was even cooperating with the Green Land's absorption, constantly spitting out part of the Kun Character power it had once devoured—

In this process, the power and divine aura of this Deep Sea Great Strange were also being continuously whittled down.

No matter what tricks the other party had, its power to resist would only grow weaker and weaker until it could no longer resist at all.

If Yu Ziqing didn't interfere later, judging from his prediction, with the other party actively cooperating, within a year this thing would be completely digested by the Green Land and thoroughly dissipate.

It was also possible that this Big Strange would be different from the previous Little Strange, and after the Green Land swallowed the power belonging to the Kun Character, it would no longer be able to digest it.

The roots of Little Bodhi had already completely bound it and buried it deep beneath the Green Land, and at present this thing was only a bit more spiritually intelligent than in its initial state; escape was definitely impossible.

Clearly there was no problem, yet Yu Ziqing kept feeling as if it shouldn't be this easy.

He opened his eyes, raised his head and looked again; at the center of the Sacrificial Space, the passage constructed by the sacrifice had already dissipated.

The Little Strange that had been used as sacrifice, filling all those lines within the Sacrificial Space, was already completely unable to resist.

The power of the Little Strange had been entirely offered up and burned away, used as the force to sustain the sacrifice.

After the sacrifice completely ended, Yu Ziqing beckoned with his hand, and that half-dead Little Strange, with more than half its power dissipated, was casually tossed by him into the Green Land.

The Green Soil grew at a speed visible to the naked eye; in just a few breaths, this Little Strange began to shrink. At most half a day and it would be completely digested by the Green Land.

Yu Ziqing felt a bit of regret. The passage was gone; he had actually wanted to see if he could fish a bit more.

Peeling stood to the side, his expression somewhat wooden. He had in fact already prepared for a vicious battle, prepared to face all kinds of chaotic Evil Skill where he might be helpless.

He hadn't expected that his target didn't even take a single slap; under his blow filled with hatred, the man dispersed on the spot without any pain.

He looked at Yu Ziqing, roughly guessing that when Yu Ziqing was negotiating with the other side, he had said something that made Dean Hua and the Deep Sea Strange both "offer their necks for slaughter."

Otherwise, it couldn't be explained.

He wanted to know why, but after thinking it over again and again, he finally gave up on asking further about this and instead asked the thing he cared about most.

"How are those people?"

"Some were unfortunate and died, but the vast majority are still here. They suffered a bit, but at least they're alive."

Yu Ziqing took out the jade flask and handed it to Peeling.

Peeling gave it a glance, his gaze turning a bit complicated, then handed the jade flask back to Yu Ziqing.

"This time, I owe you."

Peeling clasped his hands and gave a long, formal bow.

"No need for courtesy. I never planned to let these evil cultivators live anyway."

The two left the Sacrificial Space; the members of the Dragon Clan were still waiting at the turn in the corridor. They had waited for quite a while, yet never sensed the aura of a great battle; only Peeling's strike flared for an instant and then ended the next moment.

"Thank you, everyone."

"Since matters here are settled, we'll take our leave first. There are still things we haven't finished.

The East Sea is far too vast. Since we've started, naturally we must do it properly.

We will go and thoroughly sweep the East Sea of evil cultivation.

We absolutely must not give these evil cultivators another chance to persecute our Dragon Clan's juvenile dragons."

The Old Dragon King spoke every word like a hammer striking the ground, murderous intent soaring. He had even convinced himself that it really was the evil cultivators who had harmed the juvenile dragons.

"I still have important matters next; I need to make a trip to the Southern Sea, so I won't be going with you all." Yu Ziqing cupped his hands in farewell to the Dragon Clan.

Hearing this, the Old Dragon King hurriedly said,

"Important matters come first. The East Sea has only a few stinking rats; there's no need for you to personally dirty your hands."

After saying goodbye to Yu Ziqing and Peeling, the Old Dragon King rushed off with his people.

They had to hurry to clean up the evil cultivation in the East Sea; even if it took the strength of the entire clan, this had to be done well.

They absolutely couldn't let Yu Ziqing be delayed here; it would be best if Yu Ziqing hurried to the Southern Sea to plead their case.

Without a clear reply, the Dragon Clan truly did not dare lightly relocate the entire clan to the Southern Sea.

It wasn't really a question of fear; mainly, it would be far too foolish if they offended the person who truly held authority in the Southern Sea before they even arrived.

Here, Yu Ziqing and Peeling were also preparing to set out. Yu Ziqing glanced back, and still couldn't hold himself back.

He handed the jade flask to Peeling.

"You go to South Dui first. I still need to study a bit longer; I feel the things here are particularly important.
