Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1574 - 421: Following the Clues, Counterfeit Laboratory

Freedom Heaven pointed at one of the demons, and that demon awakened from its slumber, looking towards the direction of Freedom Heaven.The Heavenly Demon clone sensed other Heavenly Demons approaching.

But in the next moment, the Yellow Sky Demon suddenly blacked out and lost consciousness, silently captured by someone.

After being captured, an array was immediately set up to let Freedom Heaven devour.

However, the result of the devouring was not satisfactory.

"The connection was cut off before I started devouring, though this time more residue remained.

This clone was split the day the Heavenly Devil King escaped, and has never returned.

It's been too long, so we could only find a demon and hide it within."'

"Has the progress improved?" Yu Ziqing was most concerned about this.

"A little, but not much, far less than completing the devouring before the connection was severed."

Yang pondered silently at the side.

"It means, to ensure safety, the Heavenly Devil King split into thousands and escaped.

Later, to leave no traces behind, he didn't reclaim these clones.

No wonder, I was wondering why the Heavenly Demons in the Abyss suddenly increased in number and silently.

Turns out these clones were left behind at that time.

If all these clones are devoured, is there a possibility to push that progress to fifty percent?"

"Certainly enough, at that time the Heavenly Devil King split thoroughly to escape, had he been slower or fewer, he'd have been caught by the Mountain Lord and suppressed again."

Yu Ziqing was directly involved and naturally knew best.

To put it bluntly, although the Mountain Lord couldn't kill the Heavenly Devil King, his experience in beating him was extremely rich.

On days like today, he could foresee how he'd beat the Heavenly Devil King until feces splattered everywhere, how much and what shape would splatter, the Mountain Lord could predict beforehand.

The Heavenly Devil King himself was very aware of this fact.

Thus, when the Heavenly Devil King escaped with Cha Wang, he wouldn't hide any trick in matters of fleeing.

The Heavenly Devil King knew all too well, if caught again by the angry Mountain Lord, it would be a fate worse than death, wishing to die but unable.

"So, this matter isn't urgent for now, we need to think of a way to best hide it.

Ideally, Freedom Heaven would devour the clone without letting the Heavenly Devil King sense it."

"I can't do that..." Freedom Heaven shook his head immediately, but he wanted to.

"I know, so we need to think of a way."

Yang pulled out a seven-colored gemstone, his laboratory.

"Why did you bring this thing out?"

"It's a counterfeit replica."

"Can this thing be replicated?" Yu Ziqing was somewhat shocked, something as top-tier as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, can be replicated?

"While researching your teleportation gate, I made a small achievement, tried a bit, wasted part of the Yin Devil Nest, unexpectedly added a bit of the endless Sea of Illusion outside the Yin Devil Nest, and succeeded in this one."

Yu Ziqing kept silent, not asking why researching teleportation gate would lead to this.

Apart from the Yin Devil, Yu Ziqing couldn't find any connection between the two.

"Just tell me how to do it."

"This is my temporary laboratory, but one part I'm still researching, catch another and try."

Yu Ziqing looked to Freedom Heaven, who immediately led the way.

Within a day, they found the place of another clone.

This clone was nestled within the mountain, not possessing any body.

Freedom Heaven entered first, Yang hid his figure, perched on Yu Ziqing's shoulder, while Yu Ziqing's aura appeared as a demon.

As Freedom Heaven was sensed by that Heavenly Demon, the situation unfolded, Freedom Heaven stood for justice with his knife, sensing his kind running naked, quickly caught a demon to urgently assist his kin.

But when the Heavenly Demon seeped out of the mountain crevices and entered the space inside the mountain belly, everything changed.

Only in the middle part stood two humans and one demon, where the stone wall originally was, transformed into a Mist Sea filled with unspeakable illusions.

Following the previous method, they repeated it again.

Yu Ziqing helped suppress the clone, Freedom Heaven rushed to devour.

When the devouring was almost complete, Yang spoke.

"Leave a trace of aura and power in here."

Freedom Heaven followed suit, leaving a breath while devouring and spitting it out.

The weak wisp of black aura fell into the Mist Sea.

"How does it feel now?"

Freedom Heaven sensed carefully, his expression somewhat strange.

"Even now, the connection hasn't been severed, I can even sense the presence of the Heavenly Devil King, just can't sense where."

Yu Ziqing acknowledged Yang's skill with a nod.

"How did you manage it, Sir?"

"Borrowing the Mist Sea, I left a faux semblance when that guy entered the lab, a wisp of aura on the surface.

For the time being, that aura is enough to cover a bit, deceive a bit.

The real deception is inside this breath.

As long as he doesn't intentionally sense it, he shouldn't detect it shortly.

As time goes on, it's uncertain, this counterfeit laboratory, I accidentally created it myself.

Many things inside, I'm still researching."

Unable to hold back, Yu Ziqing laughed.

"Freedom Heaven, did you find any new intel inside it?"

"There is, but only two."

"As long as there is, hurry and continue."

Capturing one can infer several rough locations, as at that time many fell together, the distant ones may not know where, but the near ones surely know.

Tracing the vine to catch, catch as many as possible, quickly as possible.

The group moved stealthily forward, continuously capturing downwards, following the same strategy.

Each of the Heavenly Devil King's clones was continuously devoured by Freedom Heaven, leaving that breath, using the Mist Sea to conceal, disguise the sensing, as long as the Heavenly Devil King doesn't actively sense, no passive feedback is gained, the clone is gone.

After all, speaking of it, the clone has already fused with Freedom Heaven, not exactly gone.

In a flash, three months have passed, on the surface of Yang's seven-colored gemstone, a faint layer of black aura had already formed.

On Freedom Heaven, even a bit of aura was already noticeably different from ordinary Heavenly Demons, Yu Ziqing was most familiar with this kind of charm, just like a broken rank.
