Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1722 - 464: Sairen, Horn (5k)

For a moment, the atmosphere held a subtle silence, a hint of awkwardness.In fact, the things they need to do are most suitable to be done in the eastern part of the Southern Sea.

In a desolate place where no birds perch, no one pays attention. They can have ample time to prepare slowly, and any disturbance will not matter.

Ever since the Southern Sea calmed down, the East Sea is no longer the best place to start.

Especially in the due east direction, not only do human cultivators operate here, but also sea-dwelling Demon Clan and Dragon Clan.

Though this area is also a no man's land, if anything significant happens, people will soon be drawn here.

But they have no way; they can't go to the Southern Sea.

After the vast Southern Sea settled down, it became infinitely alluring.

The territory there, the resources there, compared to the East Sea, it's clear.

Especially for loose cultivators, evil path sects, they practically see the Southern Sea as a once-in-a-lifetime turnaround opportunity.

Unfortunately, later the competition in the Southern Sea grew fiercer, especially closer to the land.

Logically speaking, for the evil path sects to go to the Southern Sea is like a dragon returning to the sea, unbounded.

Sadly, the evil path sects they sent to the Southern Sea mysteriously all perished.

Some even knew how they died, while others simply vanished, confirmed dead only through the soul lamp.

For a time, the evil path cultivators in the Southern Sea began to massively disappear.

Another betraying dean personally went to investigate but couldn't find out what happened.

Only confirmed that it definitely wasn't all accidents; someone was targeting evil path cultivators with great malice.

After two major incidents of strife, and even a Ninth Tier evil path cultivator was pinned down in the Southern Sea, they completely backed off.

Forget it, sticking to the original plan, let's go to the East Sea.

Besides, this area of the East Sea used to be quite active for evil path cultivators, making it easier to find key elements.

It's better than starting from zero and groping around slowly.

The core structure of many things is already lost, using the old framework filled with fresh flesh now achieves better and more stable results.

The most suitable old framework they know is just three thousand miles away from Minghu Island.

Resting here, and supplementing with materials only found in Eastern Sea's deep sea areas, as a backup.

The most crucial part, to locate the site of that relic, using Minghu Island as the starting point is most fitting.

When Dean Hua finished positioning and left with his men, a large turtle basking in the sun on the rocks near Minghu Island opened its eyes and glanced at the sky.

The turtle opened its mouth and spat out a tiny bubble into the sea, which was swiftly swallowed by a swordfish and swam away in another direction.

When Yu Ziqing arrived at Minghu Island, hurried along by Peeling, a member of the Demon Clan immediately handed Yu Ziqing a jade scroll with a sealing.

Upon opening it, it was from the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Clan's influence in the East Sea is vast, not just because of the clan's intrinsic strength but also due to their accrued prestige over time.

In the sea, many living beings are reliant on the Dragon Clan, while many more wish to affiliate with them.

Even those who aren't reliant, when the Dragon Clan asks for a simple favor, few among the Sea Clan or Demon Clan refuse.

Like now, delivering a message was done offhandedly; there's no need to know its content.

Yu Ziqing opened the jade scroll and confirmed that the previous visitors indeed went to Minghu Island.

And the direction they headed was indeed towards the relic that Peeling mentioned.

At this point, no further direct evidence was needed, nor should action wait for the situation to fully unfold.

It's unlikely those people found an ancient evil path relic merely to study how to exterminate evil path cultivators, right?

Yu Ziqing sent a message to the Old Dragon King, inviting the Dragon King for a conversation.

He then closed his eyes and entered the Seventh Floor ring, contacting Yang.

A moment later, Yang sauntered into the Seventh Floor.

"What's up?"

"I have some information I would like you to relay to Emperor Zhen, as well as the Lihuo and Langya Institutes.

There are things that must be started right now; it's best not to wait."

Yu Ziqing recounted his earlier experiences in East Qian, mentioning Dean Hua, and finally touched on the deep sea. Without needing explicit details, Yang solemnly nodded.

"Huh, who would have thought that a planted mole in Langya Institute came to light due to Old Emperor Qian's actions.

I certainly didn't think much about this person, whom I barely recognized.

Yet it makes sense; someone like former Dean Wu, doing too much, would inevitably be found out.

What's your plan now?"

"It's not just about my actions but what everyone's role should be.

I wish to turn the Four Divine Dynasties and the East Sea into something akin to Dadui.

Let evil path cultivators perish one by one; the question is, are they willing to make this commitment?"

Yu Ziqing sneered coldly.

"The focus is on Daqian, especially Langya Institute.

The path Langya Institute took to reach this point is due to its lack of taboos.

They're willing to do anything under the guise of research.

As long as it's labeled as research, anyone is fair game.

Eventually, they're even willing to trample the most basic consensus and bottom lines.

I can't manage Daqian, but surely I can handle other places?"

"Alright, I understand." Yang sighed quietly and nodded.
