Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 177 – Ignite the frontier

Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao rushed all night, and when they arrived at the last group of buildings, it was already late at night. Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao were both exhausted, but luckily the spiritualists from the major families had freed up their hands and came to support them.

The disaster dust monsters were cleared out, but it was only a matter of time.

Suddenly, the sky brightened.

Both sides were stunned for a moment and looked towards the direction of the light.

"At this time, the sun shouldn't be rising. Strange!"

Ying Ying stood on Su Yun's shoulder, looking up and confusedly said, "And the sun shouldn't be rising from the east? Why is it rising from the north?"

Su Yun looked towards the direction of the light and saw a bright light rising from the north. Multiple suns appeared in the sky, shining on the area for hundreds of miles like it was daylight.

Under the five suns, electric lights connected to the ground like silk threads.

The light flickered like a multi-armed goddess threading silver needles with silver threads, weaving a beautiful tapestry on the ground.

"That's a disaster."

Wutong appeared on the top of a building, standing on a dragon's head and looking into the distance. She said softly, "The five half-demons cannot suppress their demonic nature, and the resulting disaster erupted after dozens of days of killing and accumulating demonic energy. Their demonic energy has reached a level comparable to that of a great saint, and the killing and demonic nature triggered the disaster. Being able to refine demonic energy to this level, their achievements are not weak."

Su Yun's mind was shaken as he looked towards the north and said softly, "General Li and the others have blocked the foreign army outside the border for so long and bought time for the north. Now their cultivation has reached its peak, but their lives have also come to an end. These generals, although they are half-demons, may be the purest people in this city of the north."

Chi Xiaoyao looked around with a puzzled expression. She saw the spiritualists from the Li and Ye families and the chief teacher of the Wen Chang Academy helping to suppress the disaster dust monsters, but she did not see the confrontation with the seven major families.

"Why aren't Left Censor, Duke of Shuo, and Saint Xue taking action against the seven major families?"

Chi Xiaoyao whispered, "The seven major families have done so much evil and killed so many people. The disaster dust monsters in the other sixteen provinces must have been caused by them! Why are Duke of Shuo and Old Piao still tolerating them?"

Ye Luo walked over and heard her question, hesitated for a moment, and did not speak.

Li Muge's sword was inserted into his waist, shaking his head and saying, "Senior Sister Xiaoyao, without clear evidence of the seven major families' rebellion, if my father were to mobilize the border army without authorization, it would lead to accusations from the court officials. This matter concerns our lives and fortunes, so without evidence, we absolutely cannot take action against the seven major families."

Chi Xiaoyao was confused, "But when the disaster dust monsters spread to all provinces and surround the north, it will be too late to take action!"

Li Muge helplessly said, "But we can only do this. Fortunately, the five ancestors have delayed for so long, and reinforcements should be arriving soon..."

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Suddenly, Su Yun said, "The reinforcements won't be coming."

Li Muge was stunned and quickly said, "Su Junior Brother, you don't understand the situation. My father sent someone to rush to the capital at the beginning of the year to report to the emperor that the seven major families have rebelled. The emperor issued an edict to reassure my father and let him first undermine the power of the seven major families before mobilizing troops from other provinces to support the capital."Ye Luo stepped back into the shadows without saying a word.

Su Yun said, "Lord Hou, Lao Piao Ba Zi, and Xue Sheng Ren are not moving just because they lack evidence. There is also a public case involved, which is a tangled mess."

Ye Luo sighed softly in the shadows.

Su Yun continued, "This public case involves multiple forces. The Seven Great Families are one force, occupying the most of the Chao Tian Que. Lord Hou, Lao Piao Ba Zi, and Xue Sheng Ren each do their own thing, while the third party, the emperor of the Eastern Capital, is the victim. For the Seven Great Families and Lord Hou, Xue Sheng Ren, and Lao Piao Ba Zi, this is a contest between two tigers. But what about Di Ping? What is this game for him?"

Li Muge frowned, and Li Zhuxian came over. Seeing their seriousness, she asked Chi Xiaoyao quietly. Chi Xiaoyao whispered, "I'm not sure, but they say that the situation in Shuo Fang is so chaotic, and the people of Shuo Bei have suffered so much, that it is not entirely the fault of the Seven Great Families."

Li Zhuxian was furious. "It's not the Seven Great Families' fault. Does that mean my father is also at fault?"

Suddenly, Saint Prince Bai Yuelou walked over and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, are you saying that the Chao Tian Que is in this Shuo Fang City?"

Su Yun nodded.

Bai Yuelou continued, "For us, we rebel against the Seven Great Families who want to rebel and harm the people. We are fighting for the people of Shuo Fang and Shuo Bei. But for Lord Hou, Lao Piao Ba Zi, our master, and the Seven Great Families, they are actually fighting for the Chao Tian Que."

Su Yun nodded again.

Bai Yuelou's face darkened, and he shook his head with a wry smile. "My master is a saint, and he won't do such a thing. Hehe, I am a hypocrite, but how could my master be as hypocritical as me..."

His body trembled, he took two steps back and sat dejectedly in the shadows.

At this time, Ye Luo's voice came from beside him. "For the emperor of the Eastern Capital, this is a situation where the fisherman profits from the fight between two birds."

Only then did Bai Yuelou notice him.

Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Luo in the shadows. Ye Luo walked out of the shadows slowly, his voice hoarse. "What the emperor wants is not the safety of the people of Shuo Fang, not the defense against foreign invaders, not the preservation of the territory of Shuo Bei. What the emperor wants is the Chao Tian Que and eternal life!"

In the north of Tian Shi Yuan, the sun was shining like fire, melting away the evil spirits. Even in Shuo Fang, the air felt unbearably hot!

Su Yun and the other young men and women stood on the rooftop, their throats dry, like fish out of water, filled with despair.

"For the emperor of the Eastern Capital, now is the best time!"

The pale face of Ye Luo was bathed in the light of the five suns, making it even paler, without any blood. He said, "The people who committed this case seven years ago are all gathered in Shuo Fang, and they are armed and dangerous. They are bound to kill each other."

The red skirt of the young woman Wu Tong floated from the Immortal Residence of another building, stretching for hundreds of feet.

Her voice echoed in everyone's mind, "The Seven Great Families, Xue Sheng Ren, Lord Hou of Shuo Fang, Ye Family, Zhu Family, Peng Family, Lü Family, even the God King and the Old Demon King, are all involved in the Chao Tian Que case. The head of your Ye Family is not innocent, and your father, Lord Hou of Shuo Fang, is not innocent either."

Ye Luo's face became even paler.

Li Muge and Li Zhuxian looked at each other with confusion.

"General Li, General Ye, and the other five half-demons are actually the sacrifices of your respective family heads in this battle."The laughter of the girl Wu Tong was like short knives stabbing into their hearts, one after another: "The lords of Shuofang and Ye family are all heroes. They know that the emperor does not trust them as foreign lords, and guarding the harsh and cold land of the north is not as comfortable as the south and east. Besides, if they can live forever, who cares about the emperor?"

Her voice fell into the ears of Ye Luo, and became his father's voice, with vivid tone and expression: "What does the emperor count for?"

Her voice fell into the ears of Li Muge and Li Zhuxian, but became the voice of the lord of Shuofang: "With the Eight-Faced Heavenly Palace, I will be a god, immortal and eternal!"

And in the ears of Bai Yuelou, it became the voice of Xue Saint: "With Qiu Shuijing's unified technique, immortal techniques and bodies, they will have everything!"

In the ears of Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao, it became the voice of Zuo Songyan: "Advance, you can become an immortal, retreat, you can become an emperor!"

A red dress fluttered past Su Yun, and after the dress passed, he saw Wu Tong's flawless white legs like jade.

She walked barefoot in a red skirt, passing by him. Her legs and feet had no hair at all.

"The situation in Shuofang and the north is so rotten that all living beings are in hell, dying and struggling, begging for help from heaven and earth, but it's all in vain. It's the demons in the hearts of these giants that caused all this."

Wu Tong laughed lightly, picked up Li Zhuxian's small face with her finger, and brushed Chi Xiaoyao's cheek with her red sleeve, chuckling, "I've always been puzzled. You humans are so bad, why do you still have the face to call me a demon?"

She took Su Yun's hand and danced lightly among the people, making him stumble.

"You guys are much worse than me!"

Wu Tong danced with Su Yun, giggling and charmingly saying, "I came to your world, like coming to a holy land, like entering hell, so happy!"

Su Yun followed her dance steps stiffly.

Wu Tong's laughter rang like a silver bell between the buildings, "Su Shizi, Big Brother, you, who are related to Tianmen Town and the Eight-Faced Heavenly Palace, have been brought here! And I, I am involved with the Dragon Burial Tomb, the Seven Great Families, and the leader of the team."

Bai Yuelou, Li Zhuxian, Li Muge, Chi Xiaoyao, and Ye Luo all bowed their heads.

The book monster Ying Ying sighed and sat on Su Yun's shoulder, saying softly, "Humans are really complicated. I'd rather continue to be a book monster and not be human anymore..."

Su Yun let go of Wu Tong's hand.

Wu Tong held his finger and didn't want to let go, chuckling, "So wise and brave Big Brother, what should we do to solve this situation?"

She suddenly took a step closer and leaned on Su Yun's chest. Her delicate jade finger pressed on his heart, and she spoke softly, "I feel the anger in your heart, like a devastating fire. What do you want to do?"

She giggled, "Whatever you do, I support you..."

Su Yun flipped his palm and a wooden box appeared in his hand. His eyes flickered as he said, "Really?"

Wu Tong's gaze fell on the wooden box, then she looked up at Su Yun's face.

Su Yun's gaze was deep, and he said in a low voice, "I will lure all the rebellious ash monsters in the seventeen states of Shuobei, and ignite a decisive battle among them. Do you support me?"

Wu Tong smiled and punched his chest with her small fist, "Hurry up! I can't wait anymore!"

"Boom!"The earth shook, and fourteen miles underground in Shuofang City, huge copper pillars were rooted in the city of Jiéhuī. In the city of Jiéhuī, there were prehistoric temples, and the fire was burning fiercely.

Suddenly, the Jiéhuī Mountain collapsed, and the majestic Jiéhuī God King's palace was exposed!
