Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 323: Great Qin Holy Emperor

Wu Tong and the white-haired youth stopped, and after a moment, Su Yun walked forward and greeted the two.

Wu Tong returned the greeting, but the white-haired youth remained motionless.

Su Yun's gaze flickered and fell on the white-haired youth. He politely asked, "Wu Tong, who is this?"

"Call me Senior Sister!" Wu Tong's gaze turned unfriendly.

Su Yun laughed heartily and then realized that despite practicing the old Saint's technique in the Fire Cloud Cave for more than ten days, he still couldn't resist Wu Tong's charm. So he stopped laughing and said somewhat unwillingly, "Senior Sister, who is this?"

The white-haired youth found it amusing and smiled, "My name is Luo Yujin. Luo is my surname, and Yujin means ashes."

"Luo Yujin?"

Su Yun praised, "What a great name. I am Su Yun, and I have met Senior Brother Luo. Wu Tong Senior Sister, since we arrived in Da Qin, you disappeared without a trace, which worried me. When did you return to the Cloud Sword Sect to study?"

Wu Tong replied indifferently, "The scholars in Da Qin do not cultivate their Dao hearts, and now they even want to abolish the old teachings. No one can harm me, so why worry about me? I am following Master Yujin in my cultivation, and my progress has been smooth and rapid. Su Junior Brother, you should worry about yourself. Please leave."

The Black Dragon transformed into Jiao Shu'Ao and stood in front of Su Yun, saying, "Su Sect Master, please leave."

Su Yun looked up at the tall and thin man and smiled, "Jiao Shu, long time no see."

Jiao Shu'Ao replied coldly, "Better not to see."

Su Yun didn't mind and didn't leave either. He said, "Wu Tong, during the time you were away, I discovered some secrets about Da Qin and wanted to share them with you. In the Western Region, there is not only one demonic being, but another demonic being who has reached the complete form. He orchestrated the Pan Yang Rebellion."

Wu Tong's expression darkened and she shouted, "Shu'Ao, drive him away!"

Jiao Shu'Ao hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

A sword whistle sounded, and his Dragon Tooth Sword flew out, stabbing towards Su Yun!

A yellow bell appeared above Su Yun's head, and he dodged the Dragon Tooth Sword by moving to the side. He calmly said, "This demonic being's methods are extremely high. He first transformed into a young girl named Pan Yang and controlled the young Divine Emperor. He used the Divine Emperor's power to study the Pan Yang Transformation Technique and caused the Pan Yang Rebellion."

Jiao Shu'Ao's Dragon Tooth Sword hissed as it turned into Flood Dragons flying in the air. His swordsmanship was exquisite, surpassing anything seen before!

His swordsmanship was derived from the "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon," incorporating the form and spirit of the True Dragon into his swordsmanship, showing the demeanor of a grandmaster.

However, although his moves were fierce and domineering, there was no killing intent.

Su Yun seemed to see through his swordsmanship. He moved his footsteps, narrowly avoiding Jiao Shu'Ao's swordsmanship, and continued, "Four to five thousand years ago, he was suppressed by the First Holy Emperor and the Winged Dragon in the Boshan County. The First Holy Emperor and the Winged Dragon couldn't kill him, so they had to slowly refine him to prevent him from harming all living beings."

Wu Tong frowned and shouted, "Shu'Ao, give it your all!"

Jiao Shu'Ao's divine power suddenly surged, and countless dragon-shaped sword qi filled the sky. His swordsmanship became more exquisite, even showing signs of new learning. Obviously, during his time in Da Qin, Jiao Shu'Ao had made rapid progress!

He improved rapidly, but Su Yun improved even faster. He could still dodge Jiao Shu'Ao's swordsmanship, but his tone became somewhat urgent as he continued, "After the Pan Yang Rebellion, this demonic being went somewhere. What did he do?"

Wu Tong bowed and said, "Master, I cannot hide anything from you. Shu'Ao, stop."

Jiao Shu'Ao sheathed his Dragon Tooth Sword and whispered, "I let you go earlier, but now you can't escape."

Su Yun also dispelled the yellow bell and nodded to Jiao Shu'Ao in thanks. He continued, "After the Pan Yang Rebellion, the demonic being became the Holy Emperor of Da Qin. He ruled the Western Region and used the power of the New Teachings to break the other seals and release the sealed demons. The lives of billions of people finally wore down the seals left by the First Holy Emperor and the Winged Dragon. The demonic beings in the Western Region finally broke free. Unsatisfied, he conspired with the Divine Emperor and continued to indulge in the Pan Yang Rebellion, strengthening himself."

As he said this, Su Yun's gaze turned to the white-haired youth and he smiled, "Senior Brother Luo, where did this demonic being go after the Pan Yang Rebellion? What did he do?"

Luo Yujin's gaze was gentle, and he smiled, "He became the Holy Emperor of Da Qin."

Su Yun's mind buzzed, and Ying Ying had long hidden in Su Yun's spiritual realm. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but be stunned and said, "The demonic being who caused the Pan Yang Rebellion became the Holy Emperor of Da Qin? This... is a huge joke!"

Luo Yujin smiled calmly and said, "The Divine Emperor used the Pan Yang Rebellion to spread his teachings and make the people believe in him. How could the demonic being not take advantage of this opportunity? Therefore, he became the most radical and powerful prince who resisted the Pan Yang Rebellion. He personally led the Spirit Masters to fight against the demonized Pan Yang, taking risks and making great contributions in the rebellion, leaving behind legends."

Su Yun's mind was still buzzing, and he suddenly said, "So, the demonic being turned against himself and became the Holy Emperor by using his own achievements?"

Luo Yujin nodded with a smile.

Su Yun continued, "After becoming the Holy Emperor, the demonic being ruled the Western Region and used the power of the New Teachings to break the other seals and release the sealed demons?"Luo Yujin said, "Some disobedient demons will be sent to various academies by the Holy Emperor to learn until they behave."

Su Yun remembered the demon suppressed in the Martial Saint Pavilion and the Nine-Headed Demon he encountered at sea, and said, "The Holy Emperor is still using the power of demons in the war?"

Luo Yujin said, "Not only in Da Qin, but also in the Western countries."

Su Yun tried to understand the deeper meaning of his words and said, "When the Western countries go to war with each other, demons will also appear in the armies, leading the armies to fight. Demons only need to fight to be satisfied, is that right?"

Luo Yujin smiled and said, "In the past, we were not very civilized in our way of eating, but now we are civilized."

Su Yun's face darkened and he said to Wu Tong, "You call him teacher? Wu Tong, I underestimated you."

Wu Tong snorted, "I am originally a human-demon, you thought too highly of me."

Su Yun reached out and said, "Come with me, Wu Tong."

Wu Tong ignored him.

Luo Yujin walked towards Su Yun with a smile and said, "Su Sect Master, you really don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Do you think that with the protection of ninety-six gods and demons, you can be worry-free?"

His figure moved, and a invisible force pressed down, making people suffocate and unable to breathe!

At this moment, the shadow behind Su Yun suddenly expanded!

His shadow became distorted and suddenly transformed into the form of a god and demon. Then, the shadows of the gods and demons permeated from Su Yun's shadow, spreading wider and wider. Even the distant mountains showed huge shadows, fierce and terrifying!

Luo Yujin smiled and walked towards Su Yun, his momentum becoming stronger and stronger.

Snowflakes fluttered in the sky, and the snowfall became heavier and heavier.

"Outrageous!"

The air trembled slightly, and all the shadows stood up, suppressing Luo Yujin's aura in an instant!

The snowflakes in the sky instantly melted into rainwater, and before the rainwater could fall to the ground, it evaporated and rose into the air, turning into clouds!

Luo Yujin's body trembled, took a step back, and smiled, "A group of stubborn old people. I can easily kill him and release you. I can also easily break the seal runes that bind you. You should thank me for following me."

Su Yun's heart tightened. Since the first demon Glutton broke the seal, his memory seal has become weaker and weaker, making it difficult to trap the gods and demons in his memory.

Especially when Winged Dragon broke free, it caused great damage to his memory seal, causing many seals to loosen.

Last time he entered the memory seal, he had already seen many powerful gods and demons who could break the seal and escape.

If they forcefully broke the seal, even if Su Yun was proficient in memory seal runes, it would be difficult to suppress them all.

The reason why no gods and demons escaped last time was probably because of Winged Dragon's face. But this time, Luo Yujin tempted these gods and demons, and they might not be able to resist!

"You are just a junior, unknown."

The shadows behind Su Yun suddenly cracked like mouths, and a light laughter came out, "You actually want us to follow you and join you. Don't waste your efforts."

Luo Yujin smiled and said, "If I have a way to leave this realm and help you return to the immortal realm, what would you say?"

The shadows behind Su Yun fell silent.

Su Yun's heart trembled. He knew that some gods and demons were tempted.

Luo Yujin leisurely said, "Even if I exhaust your lifetime, you cannot pass through the Northern Crown Great Wall of Martial Immortals and enter the immortal realm. That is a dead end. But I have another way, to open another path that leads directly to the immortal realm."

The shadows behind Su Yun remained silent.

After a while, a heavy voice sounded, "Show us the proof."

Luo Yujin laughed loudly and turned away, "I will show you the proof of how to truly ascend!"

Wu Tong looked at Su Yun, hesitated for a moment, and still followed the white-haired youth.

Jiao Shu'Ao transformed into a black Flood Dragon and followed her.

The shadows behind Su Yun became blurred and gradually merged into one. Su Yun's shadow returned to normal, as if the scene just now had never happened.

But on the vast snowy ground behind him, the melted snow left behind huge and ferocious imprints, which were the places where the shadows of the gods and demons had enveloped.

Ying Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said hoarsely, "This human-demon is so scary... Su Scholar, does he really have a way to reach the immortal realm?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know if he has a way to reach the immortal realm, but I suddenly thought of something. He said he was the Holy Emperor of Da Qin, so who led the Da Qin army to attack Yuanshuo and force Yuanshuo to cede territory and pay reparations?"

Ying Ying was stunned.

When Da Qin invaded and shattered the five thousand years of the heavenly dynasty's dream, and entered Yuanshuo, this battle not only destroyed Yuanshuo's glory, but also caused a series of subsequent events.

As a result, Emperor Ai became depressed and died at the hands of the talented painter Dan Qing. Dan Qing disguised himself as Emperor Ai and summoned Wen Guanshan, and under the surprise attack, killed the Fourth Saint of the Four Great Myths, Wen Guanshan.

Afterwards, Dan Qing used the investigation of Emperor Ai's death as an excuse to fake his death and steal the position of Prime Minister in the name of Wen Guanshan.

Another myth, Cen Fuzi, who investigated the cause of Dan Qing's death, was hanged under the crooked-necked willow tree outside Tianmen.

After that, there were a series of events such as Qiu Shuijing and Zuo Songyan studying overseas, the East Sea County naval battle, and the death of the Young Master of the Tongtian Pavilion!

"Dan Qing used many tricks. After he disguised himself as Wen Guanshan, he did not strive for progress, but instead abandoned all the old teachings and fully accepted the new teachings."

Su Yun whispered, "He seems to have been brainwashed, or does he have another purpose? Is there a connection between him and Luo Yujin?"Ying Ying asked, "What should we do if he can really prove that he can reach the Immortal Realm directly?"
