Master of Strange Dao Chapter 411 - 152 Breaking the Formation, The Black-Hearted

This move could be learned; it seed quite easy to pick up.

Yu Ziqing glanced at the Deceitful Ghost, who imdiately looked a bit aggrieved.

"Sir, I only heard about it, I didn't see it with my own eyes. How was I supposed to know he wasn't actually dead?"

"Don't worry, I just think you should learn to tell stories, and while you're at it, learn to verify the truth of what you hear. Otherwise, one day you'll fall for a false rumor, and it'll bring you trouble."

"Oh, you're right, sir," the Deceitful Ghost said thoughtfully, committing it to mory.

This ti the rumor was debunked rather quickly, and it was even done in front of his superior, which was indeed a bit awkward.

The Old Chief Venerate pulled the sword from his chest, swallowed a Pill to heal his wounds, and even had the leisure to change clothes afterward.

He didn't seem like he was forced into a corner, dealing with the Heart Devil Tribulation. Instead, it resembled performing on stage, acting out a play, then stepping off stage afterward.

After stalling for a while, he finally sat there, using the dense ghost qi here to suppress his Heart Demon.

In just a few two-hour sessions, the Demonic Qi on him dissipated, and he returned to a normal state.

He stood up, looking at the countless hungry ghosts around, and made a polite bow.

"Is there any ghost here who can speak? I have so words I would like you to convey to Jinlan Mountain in the future."

The Deceitful Ghost climbed up the cliff, his face black with anger.

"Say what? There's nothing to say between and the Dali Shadow Departnt people."

The Old Chief Venerate smiled gently, politely clasping his hands together.

"There are so misunderstandings that need to be resolved."

"What misunderstandings? Our young master has been missing for many days. If you know what's good for you, release our young master imdiately. Otherwise, your Shadow Departnt can't afford the cost."

"Missing?" The Old Chief Venerate slightly furrowed his brows, then after a mont of silence, said, "I can assure you, your young master will not be in danger."

"What assurance do you have? Do you plan to guarantee with your faked death?"

The Old Chief Venerate looked at the Deceitful Ghost, then glanced around, suddenly laughing. He clasped his hands together again and loudly said,

"Young Master Qing, would you kindly co out for a chat? What happened before was indeed a misunderstanding; I had no intention of involving you."

Lying in the burrow, Yu Ziqing sighed.

"Let's go; we should head out. This Deceitful Ghost's acting isn't up to par."

Yu Ziqing flew up from below with Cece, and the Old Chief Venerate straightened his face, greeting him politely.

"Greetings, Young Master Qing."

"Greetings, Chief Venerate."

The Old Chief Venerate looked at the nearby Deceitful Ghost, smiled, and said,

"Your young master is now returned to you."

Yu Ziqing patted the Deceitful Ghost's shoulder, saying,

"It's fine, no bla on you; you just knew I was safe anyway. If you hadn't known I was safe, but knew it was because sothing happened with the Shadow Departnt,

I'm sure you definitely wouldn't be afraid of him. The first thing you'd do when eting him would be to scold him for daring to co here to die, not afraid his corpse would stink up the place and spoil your appetite.

Then spit in his face and right there and then rally the hungry ghosts; if you couldn't kill him, you'd drown him in spit.

He only realized you definitely confird I was safe, and that I was right here, because you hadn't spit in his face."

"It was my foolishness..." The Deceitful Ghost humbly confessed his error.

And faced with Yu Ziqing's indirect scolding, the Old Chief Venerate patiently endured the criticism with a smile, remaining composed.

Once Yu Ziqing finished his reprimand, the Old Chief Venerate then spoke.

"You didn't even know who you were cooperating with, yet you dared to cooperate, so naturally I had to co here and explain, this was indeed just an accident.

No one expected you would arrive in the Dali Imperial City at this ti, to release that sweet rain.

Indeed, it was not intentional to involve you."

"This whole getting devilish, and then faking your death, planned for so long, just to fish for sothing; you have to tell , what fish are you trying to catch?"

"Many fish. One of them is the one who once abducted you. When I catch him, I will hand him over to you for your disposal, as thanks for your cooperation with this ti, how about it?"

"No need, I've already encountered him. He used the Eight-direction Sand Sea Array that was refined into a blessed land to trap inside, intending to trap completely. Now I'm the one casting the net to catch fish."

"Hmm? The Eight-direction Sand Sea Array?" The Old Chief Venerate furrowed his brows slightly, but did not ask how Yu Ziqing got out.

He was aware that within the Shadow Departnt, there was an Array Map for this big array. However, the array was sowhat redundant; it couldn't trap strong people, and weak ones didn't need it.

So this big array had always been shelved, and the Shadow Departnt never went on to refine this big array.

"Ah, that array, let's not talk about that for now.

Weren't you afraid of actually dying with this fake death? And weren't you worried that you wouldn't be in control anymore and things would spin out of control?"

Yu Ziqing was sowhat curious.

He had heard that those in the Shadow Departnt weren't easy to deal with.

"Then so be it; if I die, I die. I have little life left anyway, and the Second Tribulation of the Third Tribulation Realm I most likely won't get through.

Before I die, to eliminate those hidden dangers and dig out those secret stakes is already the limit of what I can do.

As for after my death, I'll be dead anyway; the remaining matters will have to rely on others."

The Old Chief Venerate was very candid. He looked at Yu Ziqing and said,

"Actually, I made this plan in connection with you.

Back then, when you were abducted, I quietly pursued so matters.

The person who abducted you might have connections with the Shadow Departnt, might even be soone within the Shadow Departnt.

It's a pity that after all this ti, I have never fully uncovered who it is.

And recently, with the abduction from the Yin Family, and the explosion from Daqian about a Magical Treasure in the Langya Institute that could expand the Abyssal Rift,
