"Don't worry, missing one person won't change anything. Co here, let's have a talk."
The little girl obediently followed Yu Ziqing to a small hill.
"Are you happy living here?"
"I am." Shi Sisi imdiately smiled.
Yu Ziqing gently patted her little head.
"Here, you don't have to try to please anyone. Although our conditions are not the best, and it's not very lively either, at least you can live freely.
You are no longer the child bride of a wealthy family; no one will oppress you. You're just a villager in our community.
You're young, so it's natural for everyone to take care of you. That's only because the uncles and aunts like you.
Do you rember?"
The little girl stared at Yu Ziqing in a daze, then lowered her head and asked,
"Is it because I'm not good enough..."
"It seems you still haven't understood. It's not that you aren't good enough; it's just unnecessary.
Being perceptive and sensible is good, but there's no need for you to carry such a heavy burden on your heart.
Rember, from the first day you arrived here, no one will ever abandon you again.
You also don't need to worry about the things you used to worry about.
You just need to think about what to eat for lunch and dinner.
Kids don't need to act like adults."
The little girl lowered her head and started to cry silently, then burst into loud sobs.
Yu Ziqing ruffled her hair, letting her cry out.
A child who is so thoughtful and cautious must have been too battered by life to forget it.
At least, Yu Ziqing felt they weren't yet at the rcy of the world's cruelty.
After the little girl finished crying, Yu Ziqing led her back, where a woman from the kitchen imdiately took her away, giving Yu Ziqing several annoyed glances.
Yu Ziqing chuckled helplessly; well, he couldn't afford to provoke the kitchen matron.
While Yu Ziqing was at a feast within Jinlan Mountain, the storm he started was beginning to spread widely.
An Evil Dao Demon, hated by all, died in the southern part of the Wilderness.
He was killed by a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.
There was also that sword light spanning three thousand miles, representing the extre Sword Dao of killing.
And the Dadui archway, standing brightly in the southern Wilderness, open for anyone to visit.
In just one day, anyone who wasn't blind knew sothing major happened in the southern Wilderness.
Dali Palace City.
Emperor Li and the Crown Prince sat facing each other.
"What do you think, Crown Prince, should our Dali get involved in this matter?"
"We should."
"Oh?"
"No one can stop it, so we should only go along with the tide and keep up with the wave."
"How do you plan to do that?"
"I will follow Jinlan Mountain's lead."
Emperor Li showed a slight smile.
"I thought, given your nature, you would want to take the initiative."
"Why insist on taking the initiative? Regardless of what happens with Dadui, we cannot intervene. I'm willing to go with the flow but not to ddle with Dadui." The Crown Prince also smiled, nothing like the rumors of him being so strong-willed that he refused to retreat a single step.
"Alright, you will handle this matter entirely."
Inside Langya Institute, Cheng Jing sat in the eting room, listening to the argunts of others. He listened for a long ti before speaking to himself.
"That demon mastered the Divine Devil Substitute Death Skill, based on the Langya Incarnation Technique."
The room fell silent instantly.
"Who else knows?"
Soone spoke, and the next mont Cheng Jing ford a sword with his fingers and pressed into the other's Qi Sea.
"Since you asked such a foolish question, you have no use staying here. You may leave."
As Cheng Jing pointed, that person groaned and fell to the ground.
"Cheng Jing, how dare you treat like this!"
"I ask you, that Evil Skill cos from the Yin Devil. Where have you seen the Yin Devil? How did you co across the Yin Devil?"
"What Yin Devil..."
"Sigh..." Cheng Jing sighed, raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a deep voice,
"Dean Zhang colluded with Abyss Devils and must be executed."
"Dean Cheng, wait..." soone shouted to stop him.
Cheng Jing pointed at that person's forehead, instantly killing them.
A dean, even if a lower-ranked one, died here, making the scene turn a bit strange.
Everyone was shocked beyond belief.
"That Evil Skill cos from the Abyss Devils. Just one demon has already wreaked havoc on at least ten Ninth Tiers.
The number of those who haven't reached the Ninth Tier is unknown.
The Yin Devil, we can hardly see it, as if existing in a world unrelated to ours.
Until today, we haven't found a way for our abilities to see the Yin Devil.
Yet, he could participate in the research of that Evil Skill.
You have all forgotten for what purpose Langya Institute exists.
If you forget even this and only know how to silence people by killing, you're no better than the Jinyi Wei.
Langya Institute may as well not exist."
Cheng Jing spoke each word with a murderous tone.
He had given up on using the old, gentler thods to purify Langya Institute.
If it ca to desperation, he would rather destroy Langya Institute than let it beco a cesspool.
Whether shocked or furious, everyone fell silent.
No matter their agendas or personal interests, so lines could not be crossed.
By killing soone today, Cheng Jing didn't want to directly destroy Langya Institute.
The people of Langya Institute needed to face this matter seriously and act with the appropriate attitude and solutions.
Cheng Jing was giving a chance, but if they failed to grasp it, it would all be over.
In the Wilderness, several Ninth Tiers hovered above the clouds, overlooking a city below.
Their vision allowed them to clearly see the City Head Mountain of the city, with the large characters of Gengwu City inscribed on it.
From their shape, it was the script from the End Period of Dadui.
Days later, the people who entered gathered again, quietly hiding above the clouds.
"I discovered eight cities."
"I found thirteen."
"Eleven."
"Ten..."
Everyone's mindset was on the verge of collapsing.
By now, it was clear they were in a place with a significant chance of being the vanished Dadui.
This was a sealing of Dadui, likely linked to the final sealing in the Dingmao Era, which led to the complete disappearance of Dadui.
Was it the Sealed Land? Yes.
Did it hold the Jade Seal of Dadui? Yes.
But for Dadui to expend its last powers to seal the entire Divine Dynasty, it must be a disaster capable of destroying it.
They seed to be a group of Ninth Tiers, but even together, they couldn't carry such a burden.
