What did he see?

Could he really understand those garbled codes?

Yu Ziqing was startled, did those garbled codes actually serve a purpose?

Did Juice really empower the enchantment?

No way, he had already told Juice it was fake, meant to deceive people.

"Don't worry, I know where he's from, I'll ask around and get back to you with information, but it's best to keep a low profile for now.

Your High Priest, the ritual he performed, that aura, it's just too much like the Evil Dao.

Be careful, or some righteous warrior might not take kindly to you and slaughter you all.

Don't think I'm joking, the land is full of hidden talents, some like to meddle, many despise the Evil Dao.

Stay out of it or you might die."

"I will heed your guidance." Fish Bone said sincerely, treating Yu Ziqing's words as golden rules, and quietly slipped away.

Yu Ziqing changed direction and returned to the battlefield earlier.

Originally, he was only interested in the upstart's last power, but now he was also interested in the person himself.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost midnight, and the Bright Moon was glaringly bright.

Yu Ziqing sat on the Flying Boat, using the Moonlight Divine Skills.

Adjusting the surveillance.

In an instant, Yu Ziqing noticed that the power of this Divine Skills was noticeably stronger than ever before.

He could closely observe every detail of the battle.

The ritual performed by the Saint, and the last power exerted by that upstart.

Yet in the next moment, Yu Ziqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the retrospection of the Moonlight Divine Skills, he saw the upstart, turning into a human form of dark shadow.

Just like the one he saw in retrospection at the Dadui Archway before.

It felt exactly the same, even if it wasn't the same person, it held the same origin of power.

He's sure it's not the same person, because this time within the moonlight retrospection, there was a bit more detail in the shadow.

He could see in the blackness, like thousands of non-reflective pure black worms wriggling.

This person should be less powerful than the one he saw last time.

It's also possible this time, this person directly mobilized power without performing a simplified ritual.

Yu Ziqing meticulously retrospected for a two-hour, observing the High Priest's ritual and the upstart's power.

After midnight had passed, Yu Ziqing dispelled the moonlight and bowed to the Bright Moon, expressing gratitude to the Moon God.

Basking in the moonlight, Yu Ziqing flew towards the west of Dali.

He had thrown out a fake Sixty-four-sided crystal, and unexpectedly reeled in an unexpected catch.

He had been searching for that shadow for a long time, aiming to understand what the other party truly wanted.

Unexpectedly, he caught a lead.

Now that he knows who the other is, and where their power lies, he would simply bring people to the door another day to ask.

The next day, the upstart returned to the west of Dali, back to his family's place.

Just as he arrived home, he found it deathly silent, with someone moving a chair, sitting in the courtyard with their back to the door.

Corpses knelt all around, bodies stiff, mouths agape with terror, a wick in their mouths burning with a ghostly blue flame.

The upstart's body became rigid, slowly walking inside, his lips trembling slightly, eyes full of disbelief.

"You exposed yourself rashly, a grave taboo broken; leave the item, granting you a chance to end yourself swiftly, giving your family relief."

The upstart took out the Sixty-four-sided crystal, looking at those corpses with flames in their mouths, desperately closing his eyes.

If he ended himself, it would be less painful; being made into a Human Candle, though, urged on an eternal living death.

He turned the crystal, hoping for another hint.

Last time, he used a fake crystal, fooled those Bald easily.

This time, as he turned the crystal, the person sitting there didn't stop him, merely waiting silently.

Quickly, he went through the sixty-four facets and received another message.

"Dying, up from a ripple."
