Master of Strange Dao

"""

I needed to meditate and slowly recover; the aura of this place was quite suitable for a Refining God cultivator's cultivation.

I was afraid I'd have to borrow this place to recover for a long period.

"These are trivial matters; feel free to meditate, elder. I'm just curious, when you arrived here, no one should have known, right?"

"If I don't want people to know, no one can know where I am." At this point, Zhong Shouzheng's expression suddenly thought of the past: "Now, it should be impossible for anyone to know."

"You may meditate without worry, elder. You need not concern yourself with anything else."

Yu Ziqing felt much more at ease.

After all, when Yang died back then, the witness was Zhong Shouzheng.

Zhong Shouzheng certainly would have told others at the time that he saw it with his own eyes and verified it himself that Yang was indeed dead.

Therefore, to be safe, Zhong Shouzheng's presence on Jinlan Mountain must remain unknown.

Otherwise, the credibility of those days would be compromised.

After chatting with Zhong Shouzheng for a bit, Yu Ziqing found Freedom Heaven and asked the same question.

Freedom Heaven answered honestly.

That certain Freedom Heaven was just a Heavenly Demon. They certainly wouldn't be idle enough to go around telling others about his whereabouts or Zhong Shouzheng's locations.

No one could know about this matter.

Yu Ziqing felt even more at ease—at least for now, there was certainly no problem.

Returning to his small building, Yu Ziqing closed his eyes, and the Yin God opened its eyes.

Looking at the increasingly smaller belly of the Yin God, even without relying on sleep to accelerate digestion, considering that the closer it was to the end, the slower the digestion became.

After much thought, Yu Ziqing decided to hold back a bit.

When it came to the last mouthful left of the Earth Devil Venerate, he would pause.

As long as the Earth Devil Venerate wasn't fully digested, the subsequent effects wouldn't manifest.

Even other Devil Kings wouldn't sense that the Earth Devil Venerate had died.

Similarly, Yu Ziqing could keep a means to overturn the table.

He was like a super-enhanced porcupine right now; no matter what purpose others bore outside, as long as they still hoped for the Tenth Tier path to open, as long as they weren't thinking of the Devil King's advent, no one dared to touch him.

The main issue was that if Yu Ziqing wanted to overturn the table and starve himself, it was indeed quite hard right now.

With his current health bar and auto-recovery speed, he probably couldn't starve if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep for ten years.

After much thought, he decided to focus on the issue of the Abyss Devils.

Even in normal military confrontations, there wasn't much to focus on, at least making others believe he'd been continuously attentive to the matters.

Wu Shuangge shuttled back and forth between Jinlan Mountain and Almsgiving Town, ensuring all witnessed.

Communication flying swords flew back and forth between Jinlan Mountain and Almsgiving Town continuously.

The hungry ghosts of the Abyssal Rift had retreated from the Abyss, holding their ground at the Abyssal Rift on Dali's side.

A large convergence of Devils, their auras mingling with the abundant hungry ghost auras, constantly collided, transforming into a smoke column stretching tens of miles, soaring into the sky, engaging in the upper air and continually annihilating.

Anyone with eyes could see that the battle status was growing increasingly intense.

In the Abyss, the Confusing Heart Devil stood in mid-air, around the largest Abyssal Rift, several Great Devils had assembled, and the Devil army under the Great Devils' banners surged continually into the Abyssal Rift like a tide.

The Confusing Heart Devil's expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He hadn't intended to follow Freedom Heaven's plan and had planned to launch a full assault a few days earlier.

Yet, his plan had stalled for several days.

Because the Black Sky Devil Mother and Daytime Devil began fighting as soon as they met.

The fight between these two Great Devils had killed hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder Devils in the aftermath.

Upon inquiry, it was found out that the Black Sky Devil Mother had previously embraced a talented offspring of the Daytime Devil, absorbed it for a long while, and then finished by killing that Daytime Devil.

This incident caused quite a stir; it took the mediation of other Great Devils to temporarily calm things down.

Back then, we dared not let the two meet at all.

Now, upon meeting, they lost control completely and began fighting directly.

The Black Sky Devils had the most offspring, and the Black Sky Devil Mother was perpetually birthing Devil Seeds, making them the most numerous cannon fodder.

Moreover, most of the bizarrely shaped Devils were Black Sky Devils.

The Black Sky Devil Mother didn't care for their offspring, but the Daytime Devil did.

Originally, they were few in number; producing a talented one with the potential to achieve Ninth Tier Great Devil was even harder.

No matter how strong the battle power, a small number was a hard flaw.

The battle power of the Black Sky Devils, including the Black Sky Devil Mother, was actually weak in the same tier.

Innumerable cannon fodder, however, surpassed the combined numbers of the four other Heavenly Devils.

Furthermore, strong Devils were also more numerous compared to other species.

This naturally led to a different status.

The Confusing Heart Devil venting their frustration from handling these dogshit trivial matters drove them to kill a few Devils each day.

Yet, he couldn't ignore it; if the Black Sky Devil Mother were beaten to death by the Daytime Devil, so much for the purported full assault.

Next, an all-out war among the Devils was inevitable.

They resorted to coercion, inducement, and gentle persuasion.

One side pleaded with the Daytime Devil not to stoop to the level of a mongrel only knowing to birth Devil Seeds.

The other side had to persuade the Black Sky Devil Mother that the grand mission was paramount, urging her not to provoke that mad mongrel—the Daytime Devil—promising that, after breaching the Abyssal Rift, powerful beings of all kinds would be available.

After days of turmoil, the agreed date had essentially arrived.

Now, observing the relentless influx of Devils into the Abyssal Rift, the Confusing Heart Devil couldn't help but sigh.

Without the Great Devil King, how had these Devils below fallen into such a state?
