Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1764 - 477: Troubles Anticipated, the Military Physician Plan

"What about you?""I'm not too sure."

"You don't even know if you have any bloodline descendants?"

"Yes."

"..."

Auspicious Beast said it as if it were common knowledge, making Yu Ziqing feel a bit embarrassed to ask further, for fear of appearing ignorant.

Recalling the Evil Dragon with True Dragon bloodline birthed by the Dragon Clan back in the day, Yu Ziqing could roughly imagine why the Auspicious Beast himself didn't know.

Either it was conceived directly using something like True Dragon Essence Blood as a catalyst.

Or perhaps the power lay dormant, like an Ancient Demon, only considered bloodline upon true awakening.

After a brief discussion, Yang continued to experiment on how to help the Auspicious Beast recover.

Meanwhile, Yu Ziqing planned to make a trip to Dali, unexpectedly realizing that Emperor Li might still be needed in the end.

But before going, Yu Ziqing returned to Jiachen City after disembarking, arriving at the small temple of the Yang-destroying Devil for confirmation on some matters.

Standing at the entrance of the grand hall, Yu Ziqing didn't step inside.

The feeling of entering there was overwhelming; he could withstand it, but disliked it.

The instinct of living beings to favor life over death was overwhelmingly powerful, a core instinct.

"Can you sense the change in the Bright Moon?"

"I can. Is there a problem? It's just the Blood Moon."

"The Cliff Divine King has stepped out of the cliff, he's behind this. I'm here to ask you; is he still guarding the Dao?"

"He continues to guard the Dao. I haven't sensed any changes. It's a pity, though. If he stopped guarding, I'd completely lose my hope of returning to what once was. Perhaps then I could progress even further."

The Yang-destroying Devil's tone carried an unusual hint of regret.

He truly had severed himself from All Gods and now seemed to feel that the Cliff Divine King's commitment to the Dao might be holding him back.

Even if such a hindrance is extremely weak, merely visible.

The Yang-destroying Devil also felt that seeing even the slightest hope of returning to All Gods was not thorough enough.

Not thorough enough, and so he might fall just a hair short.

Such a tiny shortfall could potentially be the death-impassable barrier he could never truly cross.

Yu Ziqing now truly found the Yang-destroying Devil increasingly terrifying; the most extreme Dao Seekers were truly frightening.

"If he's still guarding the Dao, why was he able to leave the Void Cliff?"

"Naturally, he's carrying the heavy burden of guarding the Dao forward.

He likely hasn't truly left the Void Cliff yet, only managed to extend his power outward.

He's temporarily unable to enter the mortal realm. Are you planning to send him to his death?

If so, remember to take me along; I can help.

I'm already eager to see him perish with his burden."

Yu Ziqing nodded, choosing to ignore the latter part of the Yang-destroying Devil's words. This guy now couldn't go three sentences without talking about killing a god for entertainment.

"Oh, I see; I understand now.

Do you know how to reach the Bright Moon and save the Moon God?"

"Why save? With his authority, he can't kill the Moon God.

He's just dragging the Moon God into decay, turning the Bright Moon into the Blood Moon.

It's not like a Blood Moon hasn't appeared before, no need to save anyone, it's fine as is.

The Moon God of the Blood Moon is a bit more interesting."

Yu Ziqing pondered over the Yang-destroying Devil's words.

Roughly translated, it meant the Moon God's life wasn't in jeopardy.

There have been Blood Moons in the past.

Moreover, if the Yang-destroying Devil found it interesting, then surely it meant a situation of rivers of blood was bound to occur.

"Do you know how to reach the Bright Moon?"

"I don't know. If I had known, I wouldn't have fallen into the mortal realm back then.

It's within the mortal realm yet outside it, in the Void but not in the Void.

Only the True Phoenix knows the path; even the one in the Void can at most influence beyond it."

"Alright then, I'll be leaving. You carry on, if war breaks out, I'll bring you along."

"You promised, don't forget."

"Rest assured!"

As Yu Ziqing turned to leave, the Yang-destroying Devil's voice came from behind once again.

"If you have time, take me to the frontlines."

"Hmm?" Yu Ziqing immediately became wary.

When the Dadui Dragon Elephant Army set out, and afterward when war broke out, by procedure someone always asked the Yang-destroying Devil about it.

The Yang-destroying Devil felt that watching the Dragon Elephant Army sweep through wasn't interesting at all, lacking the aesthetic of a brutal battlefield devoid of the beauty of death.

Why the change of heart now, wanting to go to the frontlines?

"You must understand, if Dadui isn't stable, I won't be in the mood to ponder on how to deal with the All Gods or the Deep Sea Strange."

The Yang-destroying Devil sighed, his voice full of regret.

"Don't tell me you want to see rivers of blood on the frontlines."

"Indeed, what else could there be to see? A battlefield under a Blood Moon is incredibly rare."

The Yang-destroying Devil pondered for a moment that although such events were rare, with his current level of understanding.

Before he ever touched death, it might have been greatly beneficial.

But now, it's just to see a rarity, not much of a boon.

By comparison, witnessing the Twilight of the Gods firsthand is more crucial.

"To keep Dadui stable and everything proceeding smoothly, you ought to take me to the frontlines, finish your tasks quickly, and then let's send the one in the Void to death."

Yu Ziqing didn't quite grasp what the Yang-destroying Devil planned to do, but he trusted anything the Yang-destroying Devil valued would be reliable.

He took the tablet of the Yang-destroying Devil, arriving at the reclaimed homeland.

Reaching the frontlines, seeing the Dragon Elephant Army camp firsthand, he felt the surging Qi Blood Power under the Blood Moon's illumination beginning to carry a trace of Evil Qi.

The changes in the frontline camp were more pronounced than anywhere else.

It wasn't the normal Evil Qi found in the military; at its core was a strand that made soldiers braver yet more bloodthirsty, more prone to losing control.

Just a distant glance confirmed for Yu Ziqing that if things continued, in less than half a month, someone in the camp would surely become Devilic.

Pondering a while, Yu Ziqing sent a message to the Deceitful Ghost, asking him to pick some hungry ghosts from the Abyss Rift Valley, offering some money in Dadui's name to hire them as specialist physicians.
