Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 77 – Two Worlds

Su Yun recounted his experience in the Heavenly Dao Token and guessed, "The Heavenly Dao Token does not really have a Heavenly Dao Academy, but each token is a gateway to enter the academy. The true Heavenly Dao Academy is actually established in a strange spiritual realm, and the scholars of the academy enter it in their spiritual form to study."

"Heavenly Dao Academy? Wait, let me calm down!"

Hua Hu walked around excitedly, opened the car window and stuck his head out, and then took a deep breath of cold air before calming down.

Su Yun waited quietly.

Hua Hu sat down and asked tentatively, "Xiao Yun, are you saying that you can enter the Heavenly Dao Academy anytime and anywhere in your spiritual form through the Heavenly Dao Token?"

Su Yun nodded with a smile.

Hua Hu lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Then can't we learn the techniques of the academy? Do we still need to go to the Wen Chang Academy?"

Su Yun pondered and said, "But I am not a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy, and this token is not mine, so it is easy to have problems. Just now, I was discovered by a person named Di Ping shortly after I entered. He saw that I came from the Tian Shi Yuan No Man's Land and even guessed that I was from the Tian Men Town. I was shocked and worried that he would find out that my Heavenly Dao Token was picked up, so I had to escape."

"Di Ping? Is that even a name?"

Hua Hu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who would be named Little Brother? His ancestor must have been a coward who always said to others 'you are my big brother, don't hit me.' So, he was named Di (little brother) over time."

Su Yun also couldn't help but laugh. His serious expression just now disappeared, and he said, "Although his name is cowardly, he is actually very powerful. He recognized me immediately and even knew that I came from the Tian Shi Yuan No Man's Land and Tian Men Town. I was scared, so I had to escape."

"How old is he?"

"He doesn't look very old, and he is even shorter than me."

Hua Hu was relieved and said fiercely, "Such a little brat. If you beat him up, he won't dare to talk nonsense again! Xiao Yun, don't forget that you are the number one scholar among thirty thousand scholars!"

Su Yun hesitated and said, "He seems to be sick, so it's not good to beat him up. Next time, I'll first investigate his background and see what he knows. If he keeps bothering me..."

Hua Hu laughed and said, "Then beat him until he's as flat as the ground, just like his name!"

He became excited again and said, "With the techniques taught in the Heavenly Dao Academy, who needs to go to the Wen Chang Academy? Xiao Yun, you must empty the techniques of the Heavenly Dao Academy and let us also learn them!"

Su Yun laughed heartily, and the two of them were full of confidence.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. The Feng Nian tilted, and the small building on the back of the big bird made a creaking sound. The people in the building couldn't stand still and slid in the same direction, squeezing together.

Su Yun quickly mobilized his qi and blood, and his feet turned into two dragon claws made of qi and blood, grabbing the floor and walking to the window to look outside. He saw a demon over ten zhang tall waving a giant axe, fighting against a tall and sturdy spiritualist on the cloud bridge.

The two were now fighting on the bridge, and the demon from the Tian Shi Yuan No Man's Land was wearing a tattered cloak, with strange moves. Every time the axe moved, countless axe shadows flew out.

The tall spiritualist he was fighting against had a guqin on his head. The guqin played by itself, and the melodies were like waves, one wave after another, covering the previous one.

The fight between the two caused chaos on the cloud bridge, and their strong abilities made the bridge shake. The carriages on the bridge were having a hard time staying stable.

Many carriages were turning around and heading back, conflicting with the ones moving forward, blocking the bridge and unable to move forward or backward.The demon became more and more excited, suddenly attacking the vehicles on the bridge. One by one, the beasts were lifted into the air, and the passengers in the carriages screamed.

"Turn around, quickly turn around!" A voice of a Li family guard came from downstairs of the carriage.

The carriage driver hurriedly pulled the reins and turned the bird's head around. Su Yun and Hua Hu stood on the top floor, looking back through the window. They saw more beasts and passengers being thrown into the air, flailing and falling towards the dark city below.

Hua Hu whispered, "This city is much more dangerous than the countryside. Such things have never happened in the countryside..."

Before Su Yun could speak, the tall spiritual master who was fighting the demon became angry. With a loud sound of the qin, he struck the demon with a deadly blow!

Just as the qin sound rang out, there was a sudden loud noise above Su Yun's head. A large yellow bell appeared out of nowhere. He couldn't stand still and was oppressed by an invisible force, sliding backwards on the floor with his feet!

The wooden boards on the floor were broken by him, and the shattered wood flew everywhere!

Hua Hu watched in horror as Su Yun was oppressed by the terrible force and slammed into the wall of the small building, unable to move.

The tangible and intangible large yellow bell hung over Su Yun's head, half inside and half outside the building.

It was this bell that saved Su Yun just now, otherwise the terrible force would have killed him!

Clang clang clang!

The qin sound rang out again. Every time the qin sounded, the bell rang once. With three consecutive qin sounds, the bell vibrated three times in a row. Finally, the small building was blown up by Su Yun!

"That qin sound seems to be aimed at the demon, but it's actually attacking Su Yun!" Hua Hu was shocked and quickly jumped through the hole in the small building. The carriage driver was also blasted away and fell towards the bridge. He was probably doomed!

Su Yun was blasted into the dark night sky by the qin sound, and the sound of the bell rang out continuously, getting farther and farther away. Obviously, the tall spiritual master was still trying to kill Su Yun!

Without the control of the carriage driver, the bird ran around like a headless fly on the bridge. It was easy for the carriage to fall off the bridge.

"Second brother, protect your younger brother and sister!" Su Yun's voice came from the darkness, along with the sound of the bell getting farther and farther away.

Hua Hu quickly came to the carriage driver's seat, grabbed the reins with both hands, and tried to control the out-of-control giant bird. He thought to himself, "Driving a beast carriage is simple. The left ear is for chirping, the right ear is for stopping, shaking the reins to start, shaking twice to accelerate, and pulling hard is an emergency stop! I can do it, I can do it..."

He had never learned how to drive a beast carriage, but he was always observant and had summarized a set of rules for starting and stopping a beast carriage. However, this was his first time driving a beast carriage, and he was inevitably clumsy.

Fortunately, Hua Hu was extremely clever and quickly became familiar with the driving skills. He drove the giant bird back along the way, avoiding other beasts along the way, and speeding along the way, extremely thrilling.

The second floor of the carriage, which was on the back of the giant bird, kept breaking apart as the bird ran wildly, especially where Su Yun had broken through. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the servants responsible for protecting Li Zhuxian in the carriage came to the second floor to be on guard.

In the distance, the tall spiritual master was still fighting the giant demon, but the qin suddenly stopped playing.

Su Yun was thrown hundreds of feet away by the qin sound and fell towards the ground. "In the Ten Jinxiu Picture, I jumped from the Mirage Tower to the beautiful scenery of the Heavenly Tower using the Foundation Building cultivation. Now that I don't have the Jinxiu Picture to suppress me, I won't die from falling!"

Su Yun took a step in the dark sky and the seal of the Bifang Mark on his head suddenly came alive. A Bifang bird flew out and flapped its wings, coming to his feet.He stepped forward, each step landing in the air. One after another, Bi Fang birds flew out from the bell and landed under his feet, only to return to the bell and transform into Qi and blood once again.

The Bi Fang birds made from his Qi and blood couldn't bear his weight, but Su Yun walked calmly in the air, not worried about falling to his death.

The yellow bell rotated slowly as Su Yun looked down at the Shuofang City in the night. The lights in the city were still on, but there were many different lights, which were ignited by the battles between the Ling Shi and the catchers against the demons in the wilderness.

This night was destined to be a long and turbulent night in Shuofang City, where battles were breaking out everywhere.

"Shui Jing said someone would come to kill me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!"

Suddenly, the sound of a qin came again, and the yellow bell above Su Yun's head made a loud noise!

In the sound of the qin, the Bi Fang bird that had flown out of the bell was instantly killed by the sound of the qin and turned into a burst of Qi and blood!

Su Yun's cultivation was immediately damaged, his body unstable and falling downward.

"This Ling Shi is really targeting me!"

Su Yun turned around in mid-air and looked towards the direction of the qin sound. He saw the Ling Shi and the demon jumping between buildings and chasing after him.

The Ling Shi and the giant axe demon were still fighting fiercely, and there were many other Ling Shi chasing after them.

The sound of the ancient qin played by the tall Ling Shi became more and more urgent, and the sound became clearer, causing the yellow bell to shake constantly and cancel out its power. However, Su Yun was suppressed by his power and falling at a faster speed!

At this speed, he would definitely die!

"I haven't done anything wrong to anyone since I entered the city, except for winning first place in the entrance exam. But Shui Jing said someone would doubt me and even try to kill me because of it! The targets of these Ling Shi should all be me!"

Su Yun's eyes flickered, and he suddenly activated the Bi Fang Divine Movement, and his Qi and blood exploded. A pair of Bi Fang wings opened behind him, flapping against the strong wind!

In the painting, he was suppressed at the Foundation Establishment stage and couldn't bear the huge pressure of falling. But outside, his cultivation was at the Spirit Refinement stage, and his Qi and blood were even stronger!

The violent Qi and blood shock formed a circle of fire around his wings, adding a little buoyancy!

Su Yun's heart stirred, "The flames formed by the Qi can make Bi Fang even more powerful. What if I use external forces? What if I use the Jie Hui to boost the flames?"

Suddenly, the sound of the qin rang out again, and his Qi and blood wings were crushed. Su Yun leaped into the air, and several Ling Yuan apes flew out of the yellow bell. His arms formed a bridge in the air, allowing him to run quickly in the air.

The sound of the qin came again, but Su Yun had already landed on the eaves of a cloud bridge. There was thick snow on the eaves, and Su Yun landed on it, sliding his feet and plowing through the snow. The snow was then melted by his violent Qi and blood, forming a fine rain that fell down.

Su Yun activated the Bi Fang Divine Movement again, leaping from the eaves, and the Bi Fang wings flapped, driving the flames to rush into the fine rain.

Behind him, the eaves of the cloud bridge collapsed with a loud noise due to the sound of the qin!

Su Yun glided down towards the ground in the fine rain, and the flames on the Bi Fang wings met the rain, making a sizzling sound and leaving white mist behind.

He was very close to the ground when the sound of the qin shook again. Su Yun's wings shattered, and he landed on his knees with a loud bang.On top of his head, the sound of a qin being played could be heard. Su Yun moved his footsteps like a dragon swimming in water, and in an instant, he arrived several zhang away.

Behind him, the ground of the street cracked open as if it had been sliced by an invisible blade!

A cold snort came from the air, and the tall spiritualist oppressed the ax-wielding demon. With a thud, the tall spiritualist flicked the qin string, and the demon's head fell to the ground.

At the same time, the sound of floating green tiles came from above Su Yun, and the spiritualists jumped between buildings and arrived on the street, standing on the eaves of the second floor of each building.

Su Yun stopped and calmly surveyed the terrain around him, searching for a way out.

This was the lowest level of Shuofang City. The top level was a tall building with bright lights, like daylight. Cars came and went on the cloud bridge, and it was very lively. People who lived on the top floor rarely came down to the ground to take a look.

But on the ground level of the city, the streets were dark, damp, cold, and full of animal excrement. Fortunately, it was winter, and the roads were frozen, so the smell was not too strong.

The street lamps used inferior materials, containing many impurities and dim light. The windows of the shops on both sides were glowing with dim red light, indicating that they were also using inferior lamps.

Several cat demons transformed into women with cat heads and human bodies, standing in the glass wall of the shop on the side of the street, slowly twisting their bodies and showing their coquettishness. They stuck out their small tongues and licked their fingers, and their tails behind them twisted like snakes, making seductive gestures.

There were some pedestrians on the street, wrapped tightly, with only white smoke coming out of their noses. They walked quickly with their heads down at the street corner. Even if Su Yun was being chased and made a lot of noise, no one looked in his direction.

Few people dared to walk on the street.

In the distance on the ground, there were several crashed carts and more than ten corpses of passengers. Several ragged people were searching for valuables next to the bodies.

Shuofang City's upper levels were extremely luxurious, and the higher up, the more extravagant it became. The top level was even a dwelling place for immortals. But at the bottom level, it was like two different worlds!
