Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 115 – A plain clothed person in the northern frontier

Su Yun's fighting spirit rose up in his heart. He was not a scholar of the Tian Dao Academy, but had entered the academy with a Tian Dao Order he had picked up.

But now, he had a fighting spirit and wanted to compete with the true scholars of the Tian Dao Academy and defeat Di Ping!

Su Yun bowed, "Teacher, I will go back to comprehend the cultivation method of the Yun Ling realm. If I encounter any difficulties, I will come to ask for your guidance."

Qiu Shuijing smiled, "You're not staying here to study? Look at those scholars outside, they are not my disciples, but they pay me to teach them cultivation. They have been here longer than you."

Su Yun said seriously, "I became your disciple because my knowledge is not enough, and I lack experience. I need your guidance in the key points. If I need your guidance everywhere, you wouldn't have taken me as your disciple."

Qiu Shuijing laughed heartily and waved his hand.

Su Yun left, and Bai Yuelou hurried to catch up, calling out, "Su scholar, wait for me!"

Suddenly, Qiu Shuijing's voice came, "Bai Yuelou, don't you want to study with me?"

Bai Yuelou was surprised and delighted, and quickly stopped, bowing, "My teacher often mentions Tai Chang. If I could receive guidance from Tai Chang, it would be an honor!"

Qiu Shuijing was surprised, "The Shuo Fang Saint knows me?"

Bai Yuelou respectfully said, "My teacher said that Tai Chang is not an ordinary person, with great foresight, but unfortunately the emperor is not a wise ruler and cannot make good use of Tai Chang."

Qiu Shuijing nodded silently and smiled, "You can come here to listen to my lectures, and I will guide you in cultivation."

He said meaningfully, "Just relying on the cultivation method taught by the Shuo Fang Saint is not enough to defeat Su Yun. Did you bring money?"

Bai Yuelou felt ashamed, "I only have a few dozen five-zhu coins left, as Su scholar took all the money I had."

Qiu Shuijing laughed, "Give me one, consider it your tuition fee."

Su Yun arrived at the entrance of the Shenxian Residence in the Tian Fang Tower, about to board a carriage, when another carriage arrived, stopping in front of the residence.

A red dress fluttered in the wind and came towards him. Su Yun raised his hand, and the red veil brushed past his face. Then he saw a slender jade foot poking out of the carriage door, with five toes like white jade, leaning against each other and gently falling on the carriage ladder.

The red veil flowed, blocking Su Yun's view.

When the veil flowed away, Wu Tong had already stepped down from the carriage and said to the black-clothed man behind her, "Uncle Ao, you can give the invitation card to Su Lang, and I will talk to him for a moment."

Jiao Shu'Ao agreed and walked into the Shenxian Residence.

"What does this female demon want now? Does she want to seduce Master Shuijing?" Su Yun wondered.

Wu Tong walked towards him barefoot, graceful and charming. She seemed to have read his thoughts and smiled, "I come from a wealthy family and want to hire Master Shuijing as a private teacher. I am not trying to seduce him."

Su Yun was stunned."Do the demons who came to Qiu Shuijing for learning not fear that he will exorcise them?"

"Seeing Su Shizi, she was also very happy."

The young girl Wu Tong came forward and laughed lightly, "I lost to you last time and almost got my guts ripped open by you. So I thought hard about it and practiced diligently. Luckily, I finally cultivated into the realm of Yun Ling!"

Su Yun responded with a smile to show goodwill, "Wu Tong Shizi's cultivation speed is really fast! Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Of course!"

The young girl Wu Tong was overjoyed and came to his side, her arms lightly raised and hooked around his neck as she giggled, "I always worry about Su Shizi's sword. Every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night and have nightmares. Fortunately, the past few days have been chaotic in Shuofang City, with people's hearts in turmoil. First there was the rebellion in Jiehui City, then the turbulence in Lei Ji Valley. On the way here just now, there was another bloody battle."

She exhaled a fragrant scent and hung her head shyly on Su Yun's chest, "I feel the demonic energy in Shuofang City is quietly growing, becoming more and more terrifying. I am not very happy about it."

Su Yun urged his qi and blood, and the young girl Wu Tong suddenly disappeared like a red cloud, leaving no trace, but the real young girl Wu Tong was still in place, motionless, and did not make any affectionate moves towards him.

"Su Lang's skills are getting better and better."

Suddenly, the red-clothed girl appeared in Su Yun's eyes, walking in the imprint of Tianmen Town, looking up at the immortal sword, "Su Lang, oh Su Lang, do you think I can withstand your sword after I cultivate to the realm of Yun Ling?"

Su Yun was about to drive her away when the young girl Wu Tong suddenly spoke seriously, "Have you felt the demonic energy in Shuofang City?"

Su Yun was puzzled and shook his head, "I'm not a demon, how can I feel the demonic energy in people's hearts?"

The young girl Wu Tong observed him carefully and suddenly chuckled, "Don't be so sure. You are just not a purebred demon, so you can't feel the surging demonic energy. But I can feel it. I saw the future and saw that Shuofang City is brewing a great disaster, a disaster that will shake people's hearts!"

"A purebred demon?"

Su Yun became even more bewildered, wondering what the demon was thinking. Was there such a thing as a purebred or impurebred demon?

"That's right. I am a purebred demon who attached myself to someone after death and transformed. If I attached myself to my own body and didn't leave, then I wouldn't be a purebred demon."

The red-clothed young girl's clothes fluttered, gradually enveloping half of Tianmen Town as she said leisurely, "And you are a half-demon like this. Your bloodline is lower than mine, destined to serve me and obey my orders."

Su Yun laughed and probed, "You just said that the demonic energy in Shuofang City is growing and a disaster is imminent. Do you have any evidence?""I feel the demonic energy growing in the city. This demonic energy means that there are people like Tong Qingluo who are sinking and turning into demons, and it's not just one person, but a group of people!"

The girl Wu Tong came to the towering imprint, looked up at it, and said, "The demonic energy in Shuofang is getting stronger and stronger, like igniting the disaster ashes city underground. The flames are burning, and there is a trend of engulfing the entire Shuofang in flames. But I can't provide evidence."

Su Yun snorted coldly, mobilized his blood and qi, and drove her away, lest she see the content on the towering imprint.

When his vision returned, he saw that Wu Tong had already entered the Immortal Residence, and her voice came, "Su Lang, your actions only delay the disaster for a few days. You cannot stop the demonic thoughts in people's hearts. You and I have a bet, and you are destined to lose."

She turned her face and smiled at Su Yun.

Su Yun suddenly felt like he was standing alone at the center of the world, surrounded by red clothes and red veils fluttering around him.

The red flames suddenly swept over Su Yun's head, and Wu Tong's voice gradually faded, "Su Lang, I will find you after the New Year and challenge you, challenge that sword!"

"Want to challenge me?"

Wu Tong had already entered the Immortal Residence, and suddenly Su Yun's voice came into her mind, which frightened her.

Su Yun's figure became clearer and clearer, and he walked towards her.

Wu Tong's heart beat violently, but she saw Su Yun walking towards her like a nightmare. The closer he got, the bigger he became, and finally turned into a giant that she had to look up to!

"If you want to challenge me, it's not impossible. Three Qinghong coins for one challenge!"

Su Yun's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Wu Tong was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "You learn fast? No wonder you are a half-demon. You are destined to become my follower."

The Su Yun just now was just an illusion created by Su Yun's powerful blood and qi. In fact, Su Yun was not in the Immortal Residence.

Earlier, Wu Tong had created various illusions for Su Yun with her own blood and qi, and Su Yun used the same method to create illusions for her.

On the carriage, Su Yun withdrew his blood and qi, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought, "After practicing the Great Unity Technique, I can finally compete with the human-demon Wu Tong. But why didn't Mr. Qiu drive her away?"

He looked strange. Qiu Shuijing not only did not drive away Wu Tong, but also let her enter the Immortal Residence. It was clear that after Wu Tong paid the money, she could go to listen to the lecture!

"Is teacher so short of money?"

.

Su Yun blinked and thought, "It's fine to accept Bai Yuelou, but even human-demons are accepted. I don't know what he's thinking."

On the way to the next building, an old man stopped the carriage and smiled, "I plan to go to the Wen Chang Academy. Is it on your way?"Su Yun pushed open the car window and saw an old man in black clothes. His clothes were clean, and his gray hair was neatly combed.

Su Yun asked the coachman to stop the car. The old man got on the carriage and sat opposite Su Yun with a smile.

Su Yun looked at the old man again and saw that his nails were neatly trimmed, his beard was carefully combed, and a small gray string was tied to his chin to keep the beard from falling apart.

He wore a peach wood hairpin on his head, which had been polished to a bright shine but was plain and simple.

His clothes and accessories were flawless.

The old man smiled at him and looked out the window.

The carriage started again.

"That building over there is the Zhou family's building. The Zhou family specializes in making spiritual weapons, such as knives, guns, swords, axes, hooks, and forks. During the war, the Zhou family made weapons for attacking cities."

The old man looked at the distant buildings and said, "On the top floor of the Zhou family's building, there is a crossbow called the Sun-setting Divine Crossbow, which is a spiritual weapon that requires two experts in the Tian Xiang realm to string it."

Su Yun's heart moved, and he looked out the window and saw a cluster of buildings, including a luxurious fairy mansion. However, he didn't know which fairy mansion the Zhou family's crossbow was in.

"The crossbow arrow on the Sun-setting Divine Crossbow is five and a half zhang long, and it costs 5,000 Qing Hong coins to refine one arrow. This is just the material cost, not the labor cost."

The old man recited this information and said, "If you calculate the cost of making the crossbow arrow, including the cost of refining, the cost of the furnace, etc., it will cost at least 8,000 Qing Hong coins per arrow. Even a great family like the Zhou family can't make too many arrows. Right now..."

He smiled and said, "The head of the Zhou family is pulling the crossbow and getting on the rotating platform. The rotating platform is like the Big Dipper spoon. He holds the rotating platform and is ready to shoot at any time. Beside him, many strong people from the Zhou family put their own elixir into the crossbow arrow, while the other half put their own elixir into the Sun-setting Divine Crossbow."

Su Yun's face was solemn, and he asked, "Old man, is the Zhou family's crossbow pointing at us now?"

The old man smiled and nodded.

Su Yun's eyes flickered. Who was this old man, and why did he stop the carriage and tell him all this?

"Do you know Lao Piao's son?" Su Yun asked tentatively.

The old man laughed and said, "Of course. Young man, please look at that building."

Su Yun followed his gaze to another cluster of buildings and heard the old man's voice in his ear, "That building over there is the Lin family's building. The Lin family has official positions and industries. The head of the Lin family is a great scholar who loves ancient things. He is burning incense and playing the zither now. Listen."

Su Yun listened carefully but heard nothing.The old man seemed to be intoxicated, tapping his fingers lightly on the table with a unique rhythm, and said with a smile, "He is wearing a white robe now, even more beautiful than snowflakes. He is playing the General's Order on a seven-stringed qin. The sound is ancient and rough. This song is so good that when played fiercely, it brings about killing and beheading!"

He stopped tapping the table and raised a finger, saying, "This bridge can be cut in half by a qin string. The mountain that carries the small building will also be split in half, and so will the people on the carriage. The sound of the qin naturally carries a killing intent, and the head of the Lin family has an even stronger killing intent!"

Su Yun's face became solemn, and his gaze fell on the immortal residences among the buildings.

The old man across from him continued, "Look at the cluster of buildings over there, twenty li away. At this moment, the head of the Wen family, Wen Lifang, has already bathed and changed clothes, and is now offering the town palace treasure, the Great Wilderness Bronze Mirror, from the Jiuyuan Academy. The mirror light can reach twenty li and turn this carriage into ashes in an instant."

"Look over there. The head of the Wu family is also activating the town clan treasure and can take your life at any time."

"The head of the Lu family, Lu Wendin, is standing by the window in the immortal residence over there. He is known as the Divine Eye Lu, and his three divine eyes can see up to the nine heavens and down to the nine springs. At this moment, he is staring at us. If I lean my face towards the car window, he will see my face."

The old man leaned his face towards the window and smiled, "Then, the Divine Eye Lu of the Lu family will stop this operation."

In the immortal residence of the Lu family, Lu Wendin's vertical eye in the center of his eyebrows opened, emitting a brilliant light. He was staring at Su Yun on the bridge from dozens of li away!

At this moment, the old man was leaning his face towards the window and chatting with Su Yun.

Lu Wendin's face changed drastically, and he said sternly, "Stop! Inform everyone to stop immediately!"
