Yu Ziqing smiled, today many strong beings were likely frightened.

To be honest, Yu Ziqing also got scared.

He used reverse possession and anti-possession Dharma methods to hide his Yin God within the White Sun Holy Mother's Yin God, making it impossible for her to completely possess him.

Because this method of forcibly blocking possession progress was only developed by the Langya Institute a few decades ago.

Yu Ziqing incorporated it into the Hungry Ghost Dao cultivation as the final insurance.

While progress was halted, Yu Ziqing's reverse possession had already begun. When tracing the past began, the White Sun Holy Mother couldn't stop it; when it reached the late period of tracing, Yu Ziqing estimated that the White Sun Holy Mother was already unaware.

He dug out all the memories of the White Sun Holy Mother, tracing back to her original source.

With this information, the power to complete the determination, Yu Ziqing reckoned, could only be accessed at least after the Tenth Tier.

This time was the only time Yu Ziqing didn't gain perceptible power, but obtained indescribable profundity instead.

This typical Great Divine Power, a map cannon, even frightened himself, let alone others.

To a certain extent, this seemingly silent method was more intimidating than the unaware king of hungry ghosts.

This was also the result Yu Ziqing desired.

Yes, he was a weakling, and indeed, his village was quite weak now.

Jinlan Mountain was set as a Forbidden Land because there slept someone capable of flipping the world's table.

The Dazhen strongman captured Cece and Wu Shuangge but made no trouble for the two hungry ghosts, only researching Wu Shuangge's Companion Magical Treasure.

Fearing unnecessary enmity, he felt no need to form a death grudge with the hungry ghost clan.

But with strength on his side, he still captured Cece and Wu Shuangge.

Why did he send a lot of things to release the two? It was also out of dread.

He must have known that someone used Great Divine Power to wipe out the White Sun Evil Cult's scriptures, uprooting these Evil Dao practices.

The stronger one became, the more cautious they were.

Since there was no death grudge, there was no need to offend people needlessly.

Yu Ziqing was very satisfied with the current outcome.

His ability required knowing more about the opponent, for the power triggered during determination to become stronger.

It was a typical ability of becoming stronger when facing strong opponents, and weaker against weaker ones.

When caught in sudden ambushes, even if the enemy was just a Sixth Tier cultivator, not a Great Cultivator, his ability had almost no room for play; it was difficult to collect information and complete the determination on the spot.

He might not even know the opponent's name on the spot.

Not everyone announced themselves before a fight began.

Many didn't waste words before killing, preferring to kill first and talk later.

However, the stronger the opponent, the more famous, the more renowned the strongman, the more he could slowly gather the opponent's information, gradually accumulating until having enough to complete the determination someday.

Famous strongmen generally wouldn't step into the fray themselves, pursuing him relentlessly to the end.

Now, he just needed to intimidate a bit, as long as those true strongmen didn't crazily step in to kill him personally.

When facing weaker ones, his self-preservation ability and survival skills would only grow stronger over time.

Yu Ziqing never expected to intimidate everyone.

When true grudges formed, who the hell cared who you were, who backed you, or what the consequences of killing you might be?

Especially those fifth, sixth, seventh-tier cultivators, there were many who couldn't ascend in cultivation, with not much lifespan left; they wouldn't care about consequences after death.

Only those who were already in high positions and held power were afraid of such earth-shaking changes, fearing the potentially huge costs.

Yu Ziqing was always clear about this, and even now, he never thought no one dared touch him.

He still had to keep stacking defenses, to do what needed to be done.

Then, forgetting about his brief moment of glory, continued to recognize himself as a weakling, thinking about how to cross safely from the north of Dazhen to return.

Seeing that token flickering with Thunder Light, Yu Ziqing suddenly laughed.

This big shot sure was thoughtful, even providing the Passage Order.

Quite a few probably knew about him being captured.

After all, it had been more than a month, yet no one found the place, and Wu Shuangge and Cece had been taken.

Those people just watched and waited, Yu Ziqing wasn't surprised at all.

If he were in their positions, even knowing the situation, he would pretend ignorance, lurking in the dark, always watching Jinlan Mountain's movements, to see what reactions might occur.

After all, it wasn't his concern, someone daringly captured Jinlan Mountain's young master, it should be Jinlan Mountain who rescued him.

As long as things didn't get out of hand, let them develop as they will.

Those powerholders had done similar things before.

Decades ago, the White Sun Holy Mother reached the Seventh Tier before being entrapped and killed by the old Yang.

Further back, there was a time she reached the Ninth Tier about to lose full control, before a group of Ninth Tier strong individuals surrounded and killed her.

So now, even knowing the White Sun Evil Cult captured Yu Ziqing, their normal procedure was to observe and probe first.

Because they all knew the hungry ghost king might never awaken again.
