Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 273 – Not as good as a dog

"Jiang Zushi, the Great Qin Martial Saint."

Su Yun looked through the window and his gaze fell on the young man, who was Jiang Zushi.

Unifying the three hundred and sixty divine techniques of the Heavenly Court into one, such high talent is truly unimaginable!

However, Su Yun had seen someone with similar talent before.

Qiu Shuijing, who comprehended the Honglu Transformation from the incomplete Chaotianque technique, and Yue Liuxi, who reached the realm of the physical body thirty years ago, both had talents no less than Jiang Zushi!

"Zushi's technique, the Creation Samadhi, created the Heavenly Court Divine Illumination Scripture. He can transform his physical body into the forms of the three hundred and sixty gods, displaying various abilities during battles. What's even more terrifying is that each of the three hundred and sixty gods possesses different abilities, and after his transformation, he will also possess corresponding abilities."

Yue Liuxi couldn't help but praise, saying, "Zushi can master all the divine techniques in the world, which is why he is revered as the Martial Saint."

Su Yun murmured, "How many divine techniques has he mastered?"

Yue Liuxi continued, "After Shuijing left the Sword Pavilion and returned to Yuanshuo, without him, it became difficult for me and Zushi to merge our techniques. Zushi's Heavenly Court Divine Illumination, although a unified technique, cannot achieve the dual cultivation of the physical body and the spirit. However, there is one person who can. This person can cultivate both the Heavenly Court Divine Illumination and the Spiritual Cultivation."

He looked at Su Yun and said, "After Shuijing left the Sword Pavilion thirty years ago, the Overseas Tower Master is the only person who can rival him."

Su Yun's heart trembled slightly, understanding his meaning.

The Overseas Tower Master is a figure who can rival Qiu Shuijing. They have unified the techniques of Jiang Zushi and Yue Liuxi.

Yue Liuxi revealed this information to prepare him in advance.

Yue Liuxi finished his tea in one gulp and put down the teacup.

An old servant came forward and collected his teacup, as well as Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu's teacups.

Seeing this, Su Yun stood up to bid farewell.

"The Sword Pavilion is a sacred place for studying the Dao and divine techniques, but there are inevitably other voices in the Sword Pavilion that may be unfair to the scholars of Yuanshuo. Rest assured, Lord Su, as long as I am still the Lord of the Sword Pavilion, I will do my best to protect them."

Yue Liuxi stood up to see him off and said, "In addition, Lord Su needs to prepare himself. After all, you are carrying the name of a teacher, so you need to prepare for teaching. Tomorrow, the Lord will go to the Martial Saint Pavilion in the Sword Pavilion to teach!"

"The Martial Saint Pavilion?" Su Yun showed a puzzled expression.

Yue Liuxi pointed with his hand, and Su Yun followed his finger, only to see that the direction Yue Liuxi was pointing was the floating building where Jiang Zushi and Cang Jiuhua were located!

Su Yun narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, his chest swelled, and the light in his eyes flickered like a sword.

Yue Liuxi smiled slightly and said, "Are you afraid to go there and teach, Mr. Su?"

Su Yun laughed heartily, but his courage and confidence were somewhat lacking. He said, "If I go to the Martial Saint Pavilion to teach, then I will only teach one class per month. But I guarantee that this one class will be worth the salary given by Lord Yue!"

"Teach only one class per month?"

Yue Liuxi laughed and cried, "Your class is really expensive..."

Su Yun said, "It's worth it!"

Yue Liuxi still felt that it was a bit expensive, but he didn't know that Su Yun thought this price was already quite cheap.

When Qiu Shuijing teaches, he only teaches a few people each time, but he earns more Qinghong Coins than teaching at the Sword Pavilion for a month.

For Su Yun to teach at the Sword Pavilion, he had to charge more than Qiu Shuijing.

Therefore, for him, the monthly salary given by Yue Liuxi was just the payment for one class.

Moreover, going to the Martial Saint Pavilion to teach, he would only earn one hundred Qinghong Coins per month. No matter how he calculated it, Su Yun was at a loss.

"I can guarantee the safety of the scholars of Yuanshuo in the Sword Pavilion, but I cannot guarantee the safety of Lord Su."

Yue Liuxi sent him out of the Sage Hall and changed the topic, saying, "You are the Lord of the Yuanshuo Tower of Heaven, in terms of qualifications and seniority, you are above me. I have no reason to protect you. So, Lord Su, take care of yourself."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "When Lord Su is teaching, you also need to be careful. There may be people in the Sword Pavilion who will be unfavorable to you."

Su Yun showed a puzzled expression.

Yue Liuxi said, "Cang Jiuhua is Jiang Zushi's disciple, and his visit to Yuanshuo was also Jiang Zushi's idea."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun's forehead veins throbbed, and he remembered that tomorrow he would be teaching at the Martial Saint Pavilion. He became even more uncertain.

Su Yun bowed, Yue Liuxi returned the gesture, and Su Yun walked away quickly.

Xing Jiangmu caught up with him and praised, "Yue Liuxi indeed has the aura and demeanor of a sage. He is worthy of respect. In Yuanshuo, we also have the Four Great Legends. Yue Liuxi's demeanor can already rival the Four Great Legends."

Su Yun shook his head without speaking.

Although the Four Great Legends of Yuanshuo, including Dao Saint, Holy Buddha, and Wenguanshan, were all extraordinary, they seemed to be slightly inferior to Yue Liuxi. Their cultivation seemed to be not as pure as Yue Liuxi's.

"However, why did Lord Yue want the Young Historian to go to the Martial Saint Pavilion to teach?"

Xing Jiangmu couldn't understand and said, "According to Lord Yue's meaning, it seems that Martial Saint Jiang Zushi intends to make things difficult for the Young Historian. The Martial Saint Pavilion is Jiang Zushi's teaching place, and if the Young Historian goes there to teach, he will definitely encounter difficulties."

"Master Yue wants to use me to let the scholars of Da Qin know that the scholars of Yuanshuo are not weaker or dumber than the scholars of Da Qin, and even stronger and smarter!"

Su Yun's voice was powerful, but his tone was calm: "He promised to give me a monthly salary of one hundred Qinghong coins, but in fact, he is asking me to fight. However, the price of asking me to fight is very high. One hundred Qinghong coins can only buy me one class."

Xing Jiangmu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he muttered: "Is this how smart people talk? If Shao Shi does not explain, I would not have known this meaning at all..."

Su Yun patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Jiangmu, don't go back to Yuanshuo. If you go back now, you will die within three days."

Xing Jiangmu didn't quite understand what he meant.

The two returned to the embassy, and on the way, they heard someone selling spiritual weapons on the street. The prices were even lower than the usual market prices. Xing Jiangmu went to inquire and said, "These are treasures caught in the Feiyun Valley. They have no capital for trading, so the prices are lower."

Along the way, Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu encountered more than a dozen spiritualists selling Feiyun Valley spiritual weapons.

Su Yun approached and carefully examined the spiritual weapons they were selling, and found that they were indeed good spiritual weapons with extraordinary quality.

"They are so well made!"

Su Yun sneered in his heart: "This old fox deliberately released some spiritual weapons to lure in big fish! This old fox..."

He angrily thought to himself: "Exactly what I expected!"

At this moment, someone shouted, "The spiritual weapons in Feiyun Valley are maturing and about to be unearthed!"

Su Yun's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly activated the Dust Curtain Sky and stood on the cloud, looking towards Feiyun Valley. He saw that the bottle-shaped anomaly above Feiyun Valley became more dazzling and bright.

In Feiyun Valley, there were occasional bursts of divine light or weak fluctuations caused by divine abilities. Obviously, someone had already gone to explore Feiyun Valley and tried to obtain the heavenly treasures hidden in the valley.

"Yun Du is the capital of Da Qin, with countless aristocratic families. If there is a rare treasure in Feiyun Valley, it can't be that simple!"

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly a visible wave of fluctuations spread from all directions in Feiyun Valley. After a while, the Dust Curtain Sky also vibrated with a buzzing sound, and Su Yun, standing on the Dust Curtain Sky, also swayed with the wave.

Su Yun saw the roofs of the houses on the street, and countless blue tiles rose and fell like waves, rushing towards the distance with a clattering sound!

This scene was exactly the same as the situation when a rare treasure appeared and released the accumulated power for countless years, just as the legends described!

Su Yun couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Could my guess be wrong? Could there really be an ownerless rare treasure in Feiyun Valley..."

He was now a bit undecided.

At this moment, Ying Ying slipped out of his spiritual realm and said, "Su Scholar, I have heard that the rare treasures born from the heavens and earth cannot release all their accumulated power at once. Therefore, there will be a wave of power release at regular intervals."

Just as she said this, the second wave of fluctuations appeared in Feiyun Valley!

After a while, this second wave of fluctuations spread from Feiyun Valley to Yun Du. However, the power of this wave was much smaller than the previous one.

When this wave of fluctuations came, the Dust Curtain Sky trembled slightly, and the blue tiles of the buildings in Yun Du made a clattering sound, but they did not surge like waves.

Ying Ying looked at Feiyun Valley in a daze, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "The power of the second wave of fluctuations will be smaller, and the power of the third wave will be even smaller..."

The confusion on her face became more and more intense, and she fell into self-doubt, muttering to herself, "Could it be that the rare treasure in Feiyun Valley is real?"

These two waves of power release made her hesitate as well.

Suddenly, Ying Ying blinked her eyes: "Su Scholar, should we try our luck?"

Just as Su Yun was about to agree, a whooshing sound came from the sky. He quickly looked up and saw bright sword lights flying up from Yun Du. From a distance, it looked like there were flying silver needles in the sky, piercing through the clouds and flying towards Feiyun Valley.

Immediately after, there were calls of eagles and falcons, and large flocks of birds with dragon heads and eagle beaks flew out of the city. The sky was filled with these birds, and on their backs were spiritualists from the aristocratic families of Yun Du, flying towards Feiyun Valley!

The previous group of swordsmen and the current group of birds were all descendants and experts of the aristocratic families of Da Qin.

A few days ago, they still had doubts and worried that the appearance of the rare treasure in Feiyun Valley might be fake. But now, with the eruption of the anomalies and the two waves of fluctuations, their doubts were finally dispelled.

Su Yun and Ying Ying stood on the white clouds formed by the Dust Curtain Sky, watching wave after wave of spiritualists from the aristocratic families of Yun Du flying towards Feiyun Valley, stepping on various spiritual weapons or flying birds.

There were even some spiritualists from the aristocratic families who cultivated the divine abilities of visualizing gods and demons, growing wings through the power of creation, and flying towards Feiyun Valley.

Su Yun looked down and saw that the streets of Yun Du had also become lively. Herds of goats rushed out, running towards the heavenly street below. These goats carried pavilions and spiritualists on their backs.

Feiyun Valley was destined to become extremely lively.Su Yun pressed down on his cloud head, and Xing Jiangmu hurried over, saying, "Young Historian, I want to try my luck in the Flying Cloud Valley. Maybe I can get some spiritual tools, sell them, and pay off my debts to return to Yuan Shuo..."

Su Yun shook his head, saying, "If these noble families stay put, you can go. But now that these families have sent out so many experts, going there would be suicide. And..."

His face was serious, feeling the third wave coming from the Flying Cloud Valley, he wondered, "The more I look at it, the more I feel that the Flying Cloud Valley might be someone's setup for a big score. But this person's appetite is a bit too big..."

Xing Jiangmu said, "Young Historian, I don't think it's fake."

"Pies don't fall from the sky, only traps do."

Su Yun took the lead and walked towards the Yuan Shuo embassy, saying, "Even if pies fall, you can't beat a dog to it. The noble families of Yun Du, they are like fast-running dogs."

Xing Jiangmu thought about it, and indeed it made sense, he felt disheartened.

"As a Young Historian, I definitely won't stay in the embassy all the time. If I leave Brother Mu to help me, in a few years, either I will have a grand funeral, or I will return home in glory, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Su Yun gently persuaded, "You are now penniless and in debt. I will help you pay off these debts, you stay."

Xing Jiangmu was struggling internally. The Young Historian in front of him seemed to have offended Emperor Di Ping, the Great Qin Martial Saint, and countless people wanted his life. There were probably one or two hundred people in the Sword Pavilion alone who wanted to kill him!

Following him, no matter how he looked at it, the future seemed bleak. It seemed that the possibility of a grand funeral was higher.

"If the Flying Cloud Valley is really a trap, I will stay and risk my life for the Young Historian!" He gritted his teeth and said.

On Su Yun's shoulder, Ying Ying turned back and made a face at him, laughing, "Brother Mu, you're on a pirate ship now!"

———The third update will be after nine o'clock!
