Master of Strange Dao Chapter 688 - 196: The Walking Sealing, Do You Know Who I Am

"""

Staring into the locust forest ahead, the Forbidden Land on Jinlan Mountain, it might not be a forbidden land for others, but it was certainly a forbidden land for the Devils.

Just sensing the imnse yin qi of this place, Zhong Shouzheng knew that the Devil would definitely feel uncomfortable here.

Zhong Shouzheng took a deep breath, rummaged through his collection, and took out a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure with healing properties. Placing it in a jade box, he held the box in his hand and flew toward the edge of the locust forest.

He landed on the edge of the locust forest and shouted loudly.

"I heard that Brother Qing was injured, so I ca to visit."

From within a locust tree, a hungry ghost poked its head out to take a look.

Zhong Shouzheng, with quick reflexes, gently sent the jade box toward the hungry ghost, along with an invitation card, which floated lightly in front of it.

"For your trouble, this item is gifted to Brother Qing for healing."

"Senior, please have so tea first, wait a mont."

The hungry ghost lightly sniffed the air. Though it had never seen Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before, it knew definitely they were extrely precious, able to sense a hint of very gentle spiritual energy even through the jade box.

After first receiving the guest, without being certain what it was, the hungry ghost didn't carry the item back but just went back to report.

Monts later, Yu Ziqing, looking listless, arrived at the pavilion for guests.

Seeing Zhong Shouzheng and glancing at the jade box, Yu Ziqing couldn't help but perk up a bit.

What a wonder, the sun rose from the west today. Zhong Shouzheng actually ca bearing gifts, and it's even a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

"Your presence, Senior, brings such honor to my humble abode, no need to bring any gifts; you're too kind."

Yu Ziqing pushed the jade box back.

"I passed through Almsgiving Town and heard you were injured, so I ca to check on you. I have plenty of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; it's fine to give you one, just take it.

Looking at your complexion, you indeed aren't well. It's best to take it early or find an alchemy master to refine it into a pill."

Yu Ziqing poured tea for Zhong Shouzheng, smiling at him.

"Senior, between us, do we really need such pretenses? Don't you find it awkward?"

"No, no..." Zhong Shouzheng was sowhat embarrassed. This kind of deanor truly didn't suit him.

"Hahaha..." Yu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh, "Senior, you're the type who doesn't co to the palace for nothing. Just say what you need, if I can do it, I certainly won't refuse."

"The main reason is that I heard you were injured, so I ca to see you."

"And the secondary?"

"The secondary..." Zhong Shouzheng's old face turned red, and he decided not to pretend; he straightforwardly told the truth.

"Actually, it's because I suddenly felt an ominous warning in my heart, sensing a Devil closing in. I foresee dying at the hands of a Devil, so I shalessly ca to seek help."

"A Devil? What kind of Devil in this world could possibly kill you?" Yu Ziqing was a bit puzzled.

"I don't know. I just believe in my sensing. A long ti ago, I once harbored a bit of luck and almost t my end in a dark alley. Since then, I have no more hesitation.

This ti is the sa. I could clearly sense that Devil chasing for tens of thousands of miles, and only when I arrived here did it cease to pursue."

Yu Ziqing didn't know what to say for a mont.

The creature hadn't been encountered, the danger wasn't known, yet he chose to flee first.

No wonder he's lived this long.

However, Yu Ziqing was familiar with Zhong Shouzheng's peculiar sensing.

If it dared not approach Jinlan Mountain, then perhaps it truly was so Devil.

In the current world, there seed to be no powerful Devil who could roam freely and yet remain undetected.

Oh, except for Freedom Heaven.

That guy had a piece of Old Emperor Zhen's limb, possessing a physical body at least comparable to a Body Cultivation at Eighth-Tier Peak.

Combined with the Heavenly Demon's unique skills, even an ordinary Ninth Tier might not be a match for Freedom Heaven in direct confrontation.

Was it Freedom Heaven?

If it was him, him running around now and not staying in the Abyss might an the gathering of those Devils in the Abyss had no great relation to him?

The situation left Yu Ziqing sowhat bewildered.

If it's Freedom Heaven, why is he chasing Zhong Shouzheng?

"Back then, Old Emperor Zhen of Dazhen was taken advantage of by the Heavenly Demon, eventually turning Devilic, being dismbered and his remains sealed everywhere. You know about this, right?"

"Yes, I know about that."

"Recently, I received news that one of the sealed remains broke free, and that Heavenly Demon fled with the severed limb."

"Are you saying I'm being chased by that Heavenly Demon?"

"Other than him, I can't think of any other Devil capable of killing you and running freely without being discovered."

"He chased for tens of thousands of miles, what does he want?" Zhong Shouzheng was also puzzled.

"I only know, he wouldn't do this because he was bored, but because he must accomplish this task, hence the relentless pursuit."

Yu Ziqing closed his eyes, contemplated for a mont, his thoughts swirling as he dismissed various possibilities.

Monts later, he opened his eyes, looking at Zhong Shouzheng, his expression sowhat peculiar.

"I can tell you a piece of information, Old Emperor Zhen's remains currently only have the left leg and head missing.

During this escape, it was the left leg that broke from its seal.

After thinking deeply, that Heavenly Demon wouldn't chase you for thousands of miles without reason; it's likely related to this matter.

Senior, think carefully. Are you carrying so sealed items on you?

Or sothing you haven't noticed yourself, maybe just a sealed item?

I suspect the reason that Heavenly Demon is so relentless is probably due to this."

Zhong Shouzheng's expression darkened, and after a mont's silence, he imdiately started sorting his Storage Magical Treasure right in front of Yu Ziqing.
