Master of Strange Dao

The eighth White Water Egg remained silent. Yu Ziqing thought for a moment, pinched the pill, and directly inserted it into the egg's shattered abdomen, crushing it inside.

The pill's power dispersed, and the vigorous life force spread. The eighth White Water Egg felt the vitality inside him, which had been gradually fading, suddenly reignite.

His determination to die slowly dissipated, and an inexplicable will to survive began to prevail.

At least, at the very least, he couldn't die like this.

He would die without understanding how it happened. How exactly did Qing Ziyu manage this?

Was it an intentional murder or an accident?

If it was to kill him, why didn't he feel anything? If it was an accident, then he couldn't die like this, as it would be too humiliating.

Even though he had long disregarded life and death, he didn't want to die like this.

Slowly, he managed to persuade himself.

Watching the pill take effect and feeling that this guy probably wouldn't die, although he was gravely injured, he likely couldn't recover.

Yu Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he could capture a living witness, it was naturally best to do so.

Carrying the eighth White Water Egg, Yu Ziqing once again stepped forward, returning to Almsgiving Town. This time, he went directly over the Health Club.

Before landing, he saw that the injuries on the eighth White Water Egg, which had barely healed a bit, worsened again, and everything below his waist disappeared.

"Kill me..." the eighth White Water Egg couldn't help but utter.

The breath emanating from his body fluctuated intensely.

In the next moment, Yu Ziqing slapped him, and the White Water Egg's head tilted, stunned into unconsciousness.

Yu Ziqing felt a bit awkward. This guy's spine had shattered into fragments, and most of his internal organs had turned to mush. Yu Ziqing had only crossed a distance of a few dozen miles, and his body couldn't withstand it...

Yu Ziqing threw him on the ground and hurried back to find the lower half of the White Water Egg.

After bringing it back, he stuffed a slightly better pill into his abdomen.

This pill was secretly made by Yang, with a tiny, almost untraceable amount of dragon liver added as a starter. Although its life-saving effect couldn't match directly swallowing dragon liver, it consumed very little dragon liver and had decent efficacy.

After sewing the White Water Egg's body back together, Yu Ziqing no longer cared and waited quietly.

An hour later, the White Water Egg's aura showed a slight change.

He awakened, lying on the cold ground, losing the will to live, too lazy even to resist.

Realizing that his lower half had returned, he was even less inclined to resist.

This Qing Ziyu, calling him a demon would be a compliment. He was more brutal than a devil.

"Awake?"

Yu Ziqing sat on the side, drinking tea, reading a bamboo slip, and glanced at the White Water Egg.

"Rest assured, I don't like killing people, nor do I like interrogating them.

I truly don't want to kill you. It's rare to see a living White Water Egg, and I am really reluctant to kill you."

Yu Ziqing put down his teacup, walked forward, and examined the White Water Egg, finding that the pill's effects had mostly worn off.

He took out another pill, reached into the White Water Egg's belly, and crushed the pill.

The White Water Egg remained silent, numbly watching all this.

"Don't blame me. I really don't know how else to feed you the pill."

The eighth White Water Egg felt the drug taking effect. The numbness in his lower body faintly returned, a reappearing knife-like pain in his abdomen assuring him that he wouldn't die.

"What are you doing here with this thing secretly?"

Yu Ziqing took out a piece of beast skin, opened it, revealing a sketchy map.

The map looked similar to the one he had seen projected from the Shadow Devil's eyeball.

However, that original map could zoom in and out freely, extremely detailed.

The beast skin map in his hand was just an ordinary map with marked locations.

The eighth White Water Egg said nothing. Yu Ziqing suddenly glanced outside, sensing a strong presence approaching Almsgiving Town.

Yu Ziqing waved his hand, sealing the eighth White Water Egg inside a coffin.

Moments later, Cece came to report.

"Master, outside there is a Ninth Tier Strong wishing to see you."

"Let them in."

Yu Ziqing saw the visitor and immediately broke into a smile.

"So it's Senior Mo himself. If you need something, a message would suffice. No need to come in person. Please, sit."

Yu Ziqing warmly invited him to sit, though the elderly man's expression was slightly awkward.

This was someone Yu Ziqing knew well, from having fought alongside him against Emperor Dui in Dadui.

At that time, Yu Ziqing had made sure to chat with everyone at least once, just to get acquainted.

Once seated, the newcomer couldn't help but glance at the rolled beast skin on the table.

"Senior, have some tea. To what do I owe the honor, Senior?"

Mo Laoshi, seeing Yu Ziqing's demeanor, sighed and pointed to the beast skin on the table.

"To be honest, I came for this item."

"This?" Yu Ziqing casually pushed the beast skin map in front of Mo Laoshi.

"I was wondering myself. I received a report that someone had infiltrated my little club.

After checking everything, I found nothing missing, only this beast skin map added.

Can you tell me what this is and who secretly placed it here?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Laoshi's expression changed slightly.

With a turn of his mind, he understood someone was using his greed to cause trouble.

"I'm sure you're aware of the King Qi incident in Dazhen?"

"Yes, I heard it involved Immortal Herbs. I was just contemplating how the Jade Tablet had only recently been released, and someone had already started spreading false information with it.

How could the King Qi incident be connected to Immortal Herbs? I'm thinking of ways to improve the Jade Tablet."
