Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 235 – I'll play a game

Many disciples of Wenguan Mountain waited outside the study in silence.

As one of the Four Mythical Sages and a great master of the School of Miscellaneous Learning, Wenguan Mountain had disciples all over the world. The Holy Buddha, Dao Saint, and the reclusive sages rarely participated in worldly affairs, while only the Confucian and Miscellaneous Learning sages actively promoted their own ideas of governance.

The Confucian disciples were numerous and the most prominent, while the Miscellaneous Learning disciples were not as strong but still significant.

Wenguan Mountain's teachings were diverse, and his disciples were often found in official schools throughout the country, some even holding various positions in the government.

The disciples outside the study were his direct disciples, with the strongest cultivation.

Min Wanghai, who held military power and was proficient in various schools of learning such as law, military strategy, Confucianism, and Daoism, was the first senior brother and had reached the realm of Verification of the Saint, earning him the title of the second person in the School of Miscellaneous Learning.

Other disciples, such as Jing Xiangshui, Fei Hongjin, and Zeng Zhensong, were also well-known figures and were high-ranking officials in various provinces and counties, second only to marquises and princes.

If it weren't for Wenguan Mountain's injury and the need for someone to protect him, they wouldn't have gathered together.

"The Prime Minister's injury is a big deal," Zeng Zhensong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since the eldest senior brother is closest to the capital and most trusted by our teacher, does he know the details?"

The others looked at him.

As one of the most powerful figures in the world, the School of Miscellaneous Learning's Great Sage was also the youngest of the Four Mythical Sages. It was surprising that such a figure was injured and required their protection, arousing their curiosity.

Wenguan Mountain had always trusted Min Wanghai the most, and he must have received some information that they didn't know.

Min Wanghai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Our teacher is disappointed with the current emperor. With the impending disaster, the emperor is too focused on seeking immortality and neglects the livelihoods of the people and the stability of the country. Therefore, our teacher wants to change the emperor."

His words shocked everyone, but there was little surprise.

"On the day of Emperor Ai's death, he entrusted his son to our teacher and asked him to help the Yuan family take care of the country. Our teacher has been working hard and cannot sit idly by and watch the emperor ruin the good land of Yuan Shuo and the lives of its people."

"But changing the emperor is not easy. The biggest obstacle is not the Yuan family, but the Four Mythical Sages and the court."

The disciples were shocked and suddenly understood why Wenguan Mountain was injured.

"The Holy Buddha and the Dao Saint are more seriously injured, and General Xue is also severely wounded."

"Our teacher has defeated three of the Four Mythical Sages, the Dao Saint and the Holy Buddha, who were once his teachers. If it weren't for the newly appointed Saint General Xue blocking his way, Emperor Ping would have been deposed and a new emperor would have been established."

Jing Xiangshui, Fei Hongjin, and others were both shocked and proud. Their teacher, Wenguan Mountain, had defeated three of the Four Mythical Sages. What an amazing achievement!

The School of Miscellaneous Learning's Great Sage was undoubtedly the first among the School of Miscellaneous Learning."The teacher returned to the Eastern Capital in a hurry before recovering from his injuries, in order to control the Eastern Capital while Holy Buddha, Dao Saint, and General Xue were heavily injured, and depose the emperor to establish a new one!"

Min Wanghai sighed, "If we cooperate with the debate between new and old schools, Prince Yuan can easily take advantage of the momentum of the debate, enter the palace with a carriage, and depose the emperor with the teacher's support. Then, half of the officials in the Eastern Capital will be on our side! The Jingzhao Yin, the Northern and Southern armies, are all nominally under the control of Qiu Shuijing, but he can't actually control them!"

His voice became somewhat passionate, "At that time, with a new emperor, we can abolish the old school, establish the new school, communicate with foreign countries, invite foreigners to become officials, learn from them, spread culture, compile teaching materials, and help us build the Yuan Dynasty and sweep away these stubborn factions. Wouldn't that be great?"

He looked downcast, and Jing Xiangshui, Fei Hongjin, and others also sighed in frustration.

Wen Guanshan played two moves, killing two great legends on one side, and starting the debate between new and old schools on the other, killing the old school and causing a great debate in the Eastern Capital, leaving the old school in ruins!

In this debate, Prince Yuan, as the leader of the new school, challenged Emperor Di Ping to a debate, which greatly boosted the morale of the deposing the emperor movement!

In addition, with the deaths of Dao Saint and Holy Buddha, the Yuan family supported the new emperor, and Emperor Di Ping had to swallow his pride and concede.

Wen Guanshan supported the new emperor, what were Qiu Shuijing and Xue Qingfu? If they didn't die in the turmoil, they died afterwards.

"The Deputy Director of the External Supervision Bureau messed up this matter."

Min Wanghai sighed and said, "Holy Buddha, Dao Saint, and Confucian Saint had long been waiting in ambush and pushed him out to ruin the teacher's plan. But..."

He turned the conversation around and smiled, "The teacher's injuries have already healed by ninety percent, while Dao Saint, Holy Buddha, and General Xue are still seriously injured, and the teacher is in the Eastern Capital while they are still hiding and recuperating! In two days, the teacher will recover to his peak state!"

Jing Xiangshui, Fei Hongjin, and others were also excited.

Min Wanghai's voice was powerful and infectious, "Two days later, with the invincible teacher, even without Prince Yuan, we can force the palace and change the emperor!"

"Boom!"

The study exploded, and Wen Guanshan spurted blood from his mouth, flying out among the flying books, with pages fluttering everywhere!

Min Wanghai, Jing Xiangshui, and others looked up in shock, watching one dragon-like head after another shuttle and fly in the air, continuously hitting Wen Guanshan's body!

The sage of the Miscellaneous School, an invincible existence, was actually beaten to the point of spitting blood in mid-air!

"Not good!"

Min Wanghai and others immediately felt the terrifying demonic energy surging and expanding outward, and quickly flew towards Wen Guanshan.

"Protect the teacher!"

The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion expanded again, and an extremely large body burst open the study, with a series of terrifying sonic booms, deafening, like a bolt from the blue!Min Wanghai and others turned their heads in mid-air and were shocked to see the huge dragon and snake bodies with scales flying above the Prime Minister's Mansion. The top of the body was its head, which looked like a snake head and a dragon head with dragon horns and a human face. The sharp scales surrounded a building in the Eastern Capital, causing it to collapse.

"Xiangliu Demon God?"

Min Wanghai and others were stunned. "Xiangliu Demon God disappeared during the Holy Emperor era thousands of years ago. How is it possible for a Demon God to exist?"

Xiangliu's nine heads were even higher than the buildings in the Eastern Capital, and below was a huge body. The body was red like a bloated demon dragon, and strangely, there were holes on the dragon scales covering its body, with small pieces of meat blocking them.

It was rumored that whenever this Demon God was in a killing spree, it would open all the large and small holes on its body and spew out poisonous smoke!

Wen Guanshan stabilized his figure and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at Xiangliu, who stood in the poisonous smoke. He was extremely surprised.

"Besides Taotie, there is another Demon God. Where did it come from..."

Before Min Wanghai and others could catch up to Wen Guanshan, they suddenly saw a Buddha light shining all over Wen Guanshan's body, and a spiritual mountain appeared behind him, with various Buddhas appearing as if the Holy Buddha was present!

He also had a golden body!

Although he revealed his golden body, the magical powers he displayed were the formation techniques of the military strategist. Countless sword lights in the sky formed an array that changed in a thousand ways, pressing down on Xiangliu!

Min Wanghai and others were relieved. Wen Guanshan was caught off guard earlier, but now that he had reacted, with the strength of their teacher, he could definitely take down Xiangliu!

"Boom!"

Xiangliu's arrogant body rushed into the sword formation, smashing it to pieces!

Min Wanghai and others were amazed. At this moment, Wen Guanshan suddenly turned around and used his palm to create a picturesque Peach Blossom Land, capturing Xiangliu inside.

"Fast!"

Wen Guanshan bowed, sacrificed his sword, and a sword light shot into the Peach Blossom Land, slashing at Xiangliu's nine heads.

"Hehe!"

Xiangliu's laughter came from the Peach Blossom Land. "For four thousand years, your magical powers and techniques have not changed. It's still the same as four thousand years ago!"

Wen Guanshan looked up in horror at the shattered Peach Blossom Land, realizing that Xiangliu was the Demon God who competed for the throne with the Holy Emperor four thousand years ago! He had been alive until now!

Xiangliu suddenly shrank its neck, and layers of scales piled up. Wen Guanshan's sword skills were useless, unable to break through its body. Xiangliu broke out of the Peach Blossom Land, transformed into a four-legged and two-armed monster with nine faces floating on its neck. It raised its hand and clashed with Wen Guanshan's Buddhist golden seal.

Wen Guanshan groaned, spitting out blood from his mouth. All the Buddhas on the spiritual mountain behind him also spat out blood, and the Buddha light dimmed.Xiang Liu stood tall in the air and laughed, "When I competed with Yu Sheng Huang for the throne, you learned these things. And now, it seems that I have to be the emperor!"

With a flash of his figure, he disappeared from sight, and a storm appeared in the sky above Dongdu.

"Boom!"

Wen Guanshan was attacked, falling rapidly. Xiang Liu hammered down on him, and Wen Guanshan defended himself for a few moves before being hit by Xiang Liu's head. His defense was shattered, and Xiang Liu injected poison into his body with his nine heads.

Wen Guanshan fell to the ground, causing the entire Yuhuang Mountain in Dongdu to shake.

Xiang Liu's nine heads continued to bite his body, with excitement in his eyes.

.

Wen Guanshan suddenly laughed, saying, "I know who you are. You are a good disciple. Do you recognize this seal?"

Xiang Liu was stunned and quickly let go. However, it was too late. A seal burst out of Wen Guanshan's hand and imprinted on Xiang Liu's chest.

Xiang Liu screamed, and his body grew and shrank, struggling to resist the seal. He suddenly revealed his true form and landed on a building in Shenxianju. The other nine heads coiled around nine nearby high-rise buildings, using all their power to fight against the seal.

Wen Guanshan stood up from the big pit, poisoned, and his flesh fell off automatically. His body rose and floated in front of Xiang Liu.

"Back then, Qu Jin Qu Taichang brought three letters. Two were given to Dao Saint and Holy Buddha."

He wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "The other one was given to me."

Xiang Liu struggled hard, but his huge body could not bear it and began to shrink.

At this moment, Su Yun's voice came into Xiang Liu's head, "Old brother, listen to me. Give me your body and power, and I will fight him!"
