Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1517 - 404: Stir Things Up, Door-to-Door Delivery

To be honest, everyone feels they've lost face."It's not much of a loss, no need for compensation, but, may I ask, you are...?"

"Just a hungry ghost with a bunch of little ghosts, the name's not worth mentioning, causing trouble today, farewell."

Yu Ziqing turned around, walking step by step towards the Long Bridge, and none of the powerful ones present dared to stop him, just watching him step onto the Long Bridge.

At this point, Yu Ziqing paused in thought, almost forgetting the Jinyi Wei, and called out to the sky.

"Xiezhi."

With a single call, black air gathered in the sky, and a dark vortex slowly appeared, from which a Xiezhi resembling a Qilin emerged slowly.

The divine beast's presence manifested, and its flame-filled eyes glanced around, as if they could see through people's hearts, leaving those gazed upon feeling exposed and sullied.

Yu Ziqing waved to the Xiezhi.

"I have a favor to ask, please visit the Jinyi Wei's government office.

Back when Song Chengyue was around, the Jinyi Wei at least did some decent work.

Now that he's no longer here, help him clean things up a bit.

You surely know the backstory, thank you."

The Xiezhi snorted out two streams of black air, its expression suddenly turning fierce, and it floated away.

Afterwards, Yu Ziqing considerately introduced it to the others.

"This is a divine beast, Xiezhi, enjoys eating humans but is picky, only likes to consume those who should be drowned in filth; if they're not foul enough, it doesn't even bother.

It seems none of you are on Xiezhi's menu.

If anyone wants to stop it, go ahead, fight or kill, as you please."

"Well then, I have matters to attend to, farewell."

Yu Ziqing stepped onto the Long Bridge, walking leisurely, gradually disappearing from sight along with the Long Bridge itself.

As Yu Ziqing stepped off the Long Bridge, he suddenly recalled something: why are there so many with strange preferences around him, like Wu Shuangge and Xiezhi...

This won't do, no more of this in the future.

One or two are understandable, but more than that, it might start rumors about his circle having such dirty inclinations, which would not be ideal.

This stereotypical image must be avoided, just the thought of it is alarming.

The Yang God returned to his place, Yu Ziqing opened his eyes, took out a flying sword, wrote a letter, and sent it out, fortunately, they had just entered the Southern Sea, otherwise even his best Communication Flying Sword might not make the distance.

"Is the issue resolved? So quickly?" Wang Zixuan was a bit surprised.

"I can't delay research; I want a real Teleportation Gate right now."

...

Three days later, at the Jinyi Wei Headquarters in East Qian, the Deputy Commander glanced at the divine beast lying in the yard and the disappearing leg in its mouth, sweat beading on his forehead.

It's undying, and its power keeps growing, consuming those who everyone here knows should really face execution. Some just avoided the execution ground for various reasons...

Here, to put it bluntly, if they're not rotten enough, the Xiezhi won't even spare them a glance.

In three days, over a dozen have died in the East Qian Jinyi Wei Headquarters.

And they didn't dare abandon the place, as without the convenient meals, the divine beast would go out hunting, causing more trouble.

"Don't just stand there, carry on with your work, business as usual."

The Deputy Commander glanced at those remaining, suspecting that many were quite happy to see the divine beast appear.

Oh well, as long as he doesn't take the blame, and there's no trouble, he'd like to see those scoundrels dead too.

For now, since he's not the Commander, it's beyond his ability, no point in stressing.

...

Seven days later, someone sent a Storage Bag to the Pill Tripod Sect in East Qian.

The Sect Master of Pill Tripod Sect looked at the small jade bottle sealed with a talisman and asked a disciple.

"What did the person delivering this say?"

"They mentioned the youngsters at home causing trouble, apologized for the inconvenience, and this small gift is a token of respect, hoping the Sect Master would assist with a minor favor, and compensate any mortals affected."

The Sect Master of Pill Tripod Sect opened the talisman, taking a light sniff, catching the unique fragrance.

Sweet Rain Original Liquid.

The Sect Master of Pill Tripod Sect gazed at the small jade bottle, somewhat wistful.

A few days ago, he was just a bystander, didn't even have to step in, yet he still received a gift.

As soon as they saw the hungry ghost, everyone knew it was Jinlan Mountain, and no one took the courtesy too seriously.

"Jinlan Mountain really has its ways of doing things."

"Go, send some people down the mountain, though the battle occurred in the wild, the earth shook, mortals might have been affected, send... never mind, ask Elder Li to go, he's the most reliable."
