Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 89 – Underground Robbery Ash City

Above the city of Jiehui, a straight rope floated in the air. Su Yun stood on the rope, exhausted his eyesight, and looked down at the city.

A large part of Jiehui City was buried in Jiehui stones. The area of this underground city was just as large as that of Shuofang City!

Such a vast city buried in black stones was truly shocking.

The miners of Jiehui Factory excavated along the city wall and entered the city through the gate.

The outer city wall of Jiehui City had already been excavated. It was a dark and sloping wall, cold and metallic, with huge wheel-shaped marks on the surface, similar to the body of the Jiehui monsters. It was unknown whether it was a totem worshiped by the monsters or a formation or rune.

"The traces left by the civilization of the previous era have a unique spectacle," Su Yun thought.

He looked at the clusters of copper pillars hanging from the buildings in Shuofang City. There were as many as thirty-six clusters of buildings in Shuofang City, controlled by the aristocratic families, officials, and the four major academies in the city.

These clusters of buildings hung with copper pillars were just in the important positions of Jiehui City, because there were ancient and dark palaces in Jiehui City!

There were thirty-six palace clusters in Jiehui City, all suppressed by clusters of copper pillars, without exception!

"Lou Ban Tan's friends are indeed suppressing something! However, Lou Ban Tan's friend said that the small wooden block is a key, what does that mean? Since it is a key, there must be a lock. Where is the lock?"

Su Yun carefully studied the layout of Jiehui City and searched for it. He saw that most of the Jiehui in the city had not been mined, and the miners mainly mined the streets of the outer and inner cities, which were arranged in a very regular pattern!

Su Yun's heart moved slightly. These streets led to each palace in the city, just like the structure of the Jiehui monsters, forming a radial texture!

Looking down from above, the urban layout of Jiehui City was exactly like thirty-six large and small wheels, and the streets were the spokes.

The miners' goal was very accurate, which was the thirty-six palaces in Jiehui City!

"And the thirty-six palaces in the city should also be spokes, and these spokes lead to the same place. And this place may be the lock that Lou Ban Tan's friend mentioned!"

Su Yun carefully studied it. If the thirty-six palaces were connected by lines, all the lines would intersect at one point!He looked towards the Grey Robbery Mountain in the city, imagining the thirty-six Grey Robbery palaces forming a circle like a wheel with interconnecting spokes, with the mountain as the center point!

At this moment, Su Yun saw that a street in the Grey Robbery City had already been excavated, and it was the street that led to the Grey Robbery Mountain!

The Grey Robbery in the Grey Robbery City was enough for several hundred years of use for Shuofang. The Grey Robbery factory established by the Tong family did not need to dig the Grey Robbery in the inner city. The Grey Robbery in the outer city alone was enough for a hundred years of use!

The reason for mining towards the city center was obviously for some other purpose!

"So, the Tong family had discovered the secret of the thirty-six palaces of the Grey Robbery City a long time ago. They have been mining this Grey Robbery Mountain, trying to uncover its secrets!"

Su Yun suddenly felt his pupils contract. He saw that besides the ordinary mining carts in the city, there were also mountain-carrying beasts!

More than ten miners in the city used a pulley steel cable to lift a black boulder, and on the back of the mountain-carrying beast, there was a large frame made of wooden stakes as thick as a bowl, tightly bound. There were also four or five miners in the large wooden frame, pulling the black stone over and placing it on the back of the mountain-carrying beast.

Those black stones looked like coffins painted black from afar!

"Is it the entire Grey Robbery? Something's not right..."

Su Yun looked around, and saw the mountain-carrying beast carrying the black stone stepping forward and walking towards the outside of the Grey Robbery City. There was even a spiritual master standing on the back of the mountain-carrying beast!

The reason why Su Yun thought he was a spiritual master was that this person had displayed his spiritual power. It was a round-shaped divine furnace with three legs and four wind eyes. In the wind eyes, the Bi Fang Divine Bird was flapping its wings.

At this time, several mountain-carrying beasts had already walked out of the Grey Robbery City, and each mountain-carrying beast had a spiritual master supervising it, being very cautious.

It was strange that these mountain-carrying beasts were not heading towards the other mining tunnels of the Grey Robbery factory, but towards another direction!

Su Yun was puzzled. The entrances of the mining tunnels of the Grey Robbery factory were naturally together and there could not be any other entrances. However, Tong family's Grey Robbery factory happened to have other entrances!

These mountain-carrying beasts were obviously secretly transported to other places after mining the Grey Robbery from another tunnel!

"However, the Grey Robbery factory is the Tong family's industry. Why do they still need to be so secretive when mining the Grey Robbery?"

Su Yun became even more curious about the Grey Robbery factory. It was clearly their own thing, so why did they have to spend a lot of money and secretly transport it to other places, afraid of being discovered?

Were those black boulders really Grey Robbery ore?At this moment, suddenly the Fushan beast stumbled and fell to the ground, and the black stone in the wooden frame on its back slipped off and hit the ground!

The black giant stone cracked and was smashed into two halves. In the giant stone, a calamity gray monster rolled out!

Su Yun was stunned. The giant stone was not just any stone, it was actually a stone coffin!

The stone coffin that buried the calamity gray monster!

But what he didn't expect was that the "corpse" of the calamity gray monster suddenly moved, and then swayed and stood up. Its wings behind it opened with a whoosh, and it was about to fly away!

At the moment it flapped its wings, the Ling Shi from the Tong family who had been standing on the beast's back had already reacted. The Bifang Divine Furnace was overturned and the calamity gray monster was trapped inside.

The calamity gray monster struggled to break free in the Divine Furnace, but unfortunately the strength of the Ling Shi was also not to be underestimated, and it was always firmly suppressed.

Several Ling Shi ran over and shouted, "Hold on, don't let him go! Otherwise, the bald donkey from the Wenchang Academy will take the opportunity to extort us again!"

These Ling Shi were also from the Tong family, but they were Buddhist cultivators. One after another, Buddhist light and supernatural powers were cast into the Bifang Divine Furnace.

Su Yun looked for a moment, only to see the Bifang Divine Furnace dissipate, and the calamity gray monster inside had turned into a stone statue, devoid of life.

He stood high and listened, hearing the Ling Shi discussing, "It's a pity that a calamity gray monster died, and it will probably be punished again."

"This kind of calamity gray monster is not afraid of anything, but it is afraid of Buddhist supernatural powers. One glance and it dies."

...

Su Yun frowned slightly, grabbed the Immortal Rope and shook it hard, and the Immortal Rope immediately shrank rapidly.

Su Yun suddenly fell down, and in mid-air, he used his blood and qi to activate the golden wooden clock, which turned into a pair of Bifang Divine Wings and inserted into his back. He stirred his blood and qi and poured it into the wings, flapping them to fly.

The Ling Shi below heard the sound of flapping wings and looked up, but they didn't see anything.

Su Yun flew into the city, using the wooden clock to transform into wings and maintain his flight posture, which was equivalent to constantly activating his Ling weapon, consuming a lot of his yuan qi.

Flying with a Ling weapon consumed yuan qi extremely quickly, and he was having some trouble with it. If he continued to consume it, he estimated that his yuan qi would be almost depleted by the time he glided to the ground.

He activated the Honglu Transformation, and the blood and qi in his body circulated. The four great divine sanctities on the wall of the Honglu Furnace suddenly became clear, connected to the four great divine sanctities of yuan qi in the void, and interacted with each other.

Su Yun immediately sensed that the four great divine sanctities of yuan qi were like being pulled by silk threads, turning into a trickle that flowed continuously into his body's Honglu Furnace, transforming into his own yuan qi!In this way, the rate of Qi and blood consumption can be sustained.

As he activated the Honglu Transforming Qi technique and felt the four major sacred energies being pulled by the four major elements, in a large hall surrounded by a dozen huge copper pillars in the city, a dozen spiritualists surrounded a slightly rich middle-aged man, supervising the miners as they dragged out black stone coffins.

Suddenly, the rich middle-aged man, Tong Qingluo, looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Mr. Luo, what's wrong?" The scholar Tong Xuan followed him out and asked.

Tong Qingluo looked up and said, "I sense a strange elemental flow in the sky, very strong. Strange, could someone have infiltrated?"

He was about to order a search for the intruder when suddenly there was a commotion in the city of Jiehui, and a spiritualist from the Tong family shouted loudly, "Oh no, the Jiehui monsters are coming out!"

Tong Qingluo's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, there is an intruder! Everyone, search for them and kill them on sight!"

In the hall, the spiritualists rushed out to meet the commotion.

At this moment, Su Yun spread the Immortal Rope in the air and stood on the rope, using the light of the Jiehui lamp in the city to see clearly.

He saw that the red-clothed girl Wu Tong and the village's meal-eating man Jiao Shu'Ao had already entered the city, and the miners and spiritualists in the city of Jiehui seemed to have not seen them, panicked and scattered.

Jiao Shu'Ao flew a bone sword in front of him, whistling through the air, piercing through the black stone coffins on the backs of the mountain-carrying beasts!

After the black stone coffins were pierced, the Jiehui monsters inside sucked in the air and immediately came back to life, shattering the black stone coffins, and going on a killing spree, devouring miners and spiritualists everywhere!

Even the spiritualists of the Tong family would be in danger if they were not careful!

Fortunately, the Tong family attached great importance to the city of Jiehui, and in addition to the spiritualists of the Tong family, there were scholars from the Shuofang Academy who depended on the Tong family, rushing out of the large halls in the city to suppress the turmoil.

Jiao Shu'Ao released more and more Jiehui monsters, causing chaos in the city, with miners fleeing at high speed, and some even hiding in the corners of the city and not daring to come out.

Su Yun frowned, as the Jiehui monsters occasionally flew up, grabbing people or cows and flying into the air, where they would eat their flesh and blood!

Suddenly, a Jiehui monster that had eaten a cow caught sight of Su Yun standing on the rope and immediately flew towards him at a fast speed!

Without hesitation, Su Yun scattered the golden little wooden bell, turning it into a pair of golden wings behind him, and met the Jiehui monster head-on, directly using the Long Sky Red Feather technique!As he activated his technique, a loud whoosh was heard and the sky suddenly lit up with a blazing fire. Su Yun's wings seemed to have truly transformed into the Bi Fang Divine Wings, emitting a fierce divine fire!

As his blood energy circulated, the feathers on his wings came to life, like sawtooth blades rotating forward, colliding with the calamity grey monster with a loud boom!

Sssshh...

The calamity grey monster was split open by his wings, and black blood splattered, forming crystal-clear calamity grey droplets in the air!

Su Yun quickly switched techniques, dispelling the Bi Fang Divine Wings to avoid touching the calamity grey droplets.

These calamity grey droplets were extraordinary, exploding violently upon contact!

Moreover, there were even calamity grey mines below, with some massive mines among them. If ignited, the calamity grey would burn, and the entire Shuofang City would likely become a sea of fire!

"These calamity grey droplets are very useful!"

Su Yun activated his blood energy, which suddenly transformed into a two-zhang long Taotie. With a long inhale, it sucked all the blood energy scattered by the calamity grey monster into its mouth.

The black blood turned into calamity grey droplets upon contact with the air, clinking together and filling the Taotie's cheek pouch.

At the same time, the Bi Fang Divine Wings transformed back into a golden wooden clock, falling into Su Yun's hand. Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of a sword. Without hesitation, the wooden clock transformed into a wooden sword, and he swung it towards the sound of the sword!

The sound of the sword disappeared.

In Calamity Grey City, Jiao Shu'Ao, who was having a meal, expressionlessly retrieved his Dragon Tooth Sword, which was now only half its original length.

"That person broke my Dragon Tooth Sword again," said Jiao Shu'Ao, his eyes twitching.

"Then don't provoke him," said the young woman Wu Tong, feeling a bit helpless with his stubbornness. "That person is a formidable expert who can match you. He's also here to cause trouble and has the same goal as us. Why bother provoking him?"
