Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 165 – Abnormal cloud

The carriage of the negative mountain turned in a different direction, and everyone in the caravan had not yet recovered from their shock.

The carriages of the Lin family and the Wen Chang Academy blocked the road they came from, and the smiles on their faces had not disappeared yet. They were preparing to evaluate the skills and abilities of Lin Qingsheng and Su Yun, but before they could finish their words, Lin Qingsheng died, leaving them at a loss for what to say next.

Suddenly, Zuo Songyan exclaimed, "Su Shangshi is really powerful!"

The other teachers and leaders of the Wen Chang Academy woke up and praised, "Shangshi is powerful!"

This statement revealed their own embarrassing situation in front of the other scholars.

Although Zuo Songyan resolved the embarrassment, he was still embarrassed in his heart, "This brat killed Lin Qingsheng with one move, and I have no way to estimate the extent of his strength after becoming a calamity monster. Can't you be more restrained and gradually test his abilities?"

Bai Yuelou and others were stunned, "What's going on with so many different realms?"

Opening over forty different realms at once was truly shocking and spectacular!

However, it was well-known that only six realms were available to Ling Shi in the Yulin realm. How could someone open over forty realms all at once? And how did he do it?

They still wanted to compete for the position of the first master of the Ge Wu Academy, but now it seemed impossible.

"I can take back the position of the first master sister, but I have never learned how to open over forty different realms."

Wu Tong's eyes flickered, "I have been trapped for over a hundred and fifty years. It seems that the development of skills and abilities in the world has changed greatly from when I was alive. The methods of opening different realms are taught by his little book monster, right? This little book monster is very familiar, very familiar..."

Most of the time, Ying Ying stayed in Su Yun's spiritual realm, but occasionally she would come out. Wu Tong had long sensed that there was someone familiar to her in Su Yun's spiritual realm, and she paid extra attention to it. However, Ying Ying's appearance had changed greatly from her previous life, and she could not recognize her for a moment.

Moreover, Su Yun seemed reckless but was actually cautious. Ying Ying had never been left alone, and Wu Tong had no chance to face her alone.

Su Yun's carriage arrived, and the Lin family's caravan remained motionless, still blocking the road. The Lin family had many experts, all looking at Lin Zhiyuan with grief and indignation, waiting for him to give the order to attack and kill Su Yun.

Lin Zhiyuan clenched his fists, his face becoming increasingly gloomy as he looked at the negative mountain carriage coming towards him, and then at the Wen Chang Academy carriage driving alongside the Lin family carriage.At the Wen Chang Academy, besides the carriages of the teachers and scholars, all other carriages had their curtains drawn. It was obvious that the bandits from the 108 counties of the 17 states of the northern region were hiding inside.

If he commanded an attack on Su Yun, the Lin family would be wiped out in an instant by these bandits.

Furthermore, Zuo Songyan was glaring at him with a fierce expression.

He was sweating profusely.

Zuo Songyan looked at Lin Qingsheng and the carriage Su Yun was riding in, thinking to himself, "If I kill Lin Qingsheng with one move, I still need to support Su Yun. This guy always causes such a big commotion. I wonder if Lin Zhiyuan will be unable to resist taking action. If he does, it will cause a chain reaction and even the seven major families won't be able to sit still..."

He thought about the difficulties and his expression became fierce, causing Lin Zhiyuan to misunderstand.

He was worried that Lin Zhiyuan would take action regardless of the consequences, not realizing that Lin Zhiyuan was also worried that he would attack the Lin family.

Neither the seven major families nor the bandits were ready for a decisive battle. It would be detrimental for both sides to start fighting now.

The seven major families needed time to cultivate their Grey Calamity Monsters and regain their strength. On the other hand, the half-demons on the grasslands were being blocked by the bandits and it would take time to defeat them.

The bandits also needed time to inform the emperor and mobilize the troops from the other counties in the north.

The emperor of the Eastern Capital also needed time to remove the wings of the seven major families.

None of them were ready to fight to the death at this moment.

However, Su Yun was like a torch that had entered the Grey Calamity Factory, poking and prodding with the fire, making both sides tense and nervous.

Since Su Yun arrived in the city from the countryside, the seven major families and Zuo Songyan had not slept well.

And yet, Su Yun still occasionally poked and prodded with the fire, seemingly unaware that even a small spark could ignite the entire city.

Left Protector gritted his teeth, his expression becoming even more fierce, "But this little brat is still poking and prodding everywhere..."

Lin Zhiyuan shuddered a few times, glanced at Zuo Songyan, then at Su Yun who was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he stood up and shouted, "My son, Lin Qingsheng, fought fairly against Scholar Su and lost. Even though he lost, he died with honor. Scholar Su won fairly and justly. Everyone in the Lin family acknowledges his victory!"His face twisted, his voice stern: "Make way for Su Scholar!"

The Lin family was stunned, but they had to listen to the words of their family head. One after another, the carriages made way for Su Yun's carriage. The Lin family's experts clenched their fists, watching as Su Yun's carriage passed by them.

Zuo Songyan was also shocked. "Do I not need to cover for him this time?"

Su Yun's carriage arrived in front of Lin Zhiyuan's carriage and stopped. Su Yun pushed open the window and bowed to Lin Zhiyuan. "Master Lin, please accept my condolences." He then took out a Qinghong coin and used his Yuan Qi to lift it before gently placing it on the Lin family's carriage.

Lin Zhiyuan accepted the coin, his eyes trembling and his voice shaking, but still calm. "I lost a son, but I can have another."

Su Yun was about to close the window when he was surprised by Lin Zhiyuan's words. "What's it to me?"

The Qinghong coin in Lin Zhiyuan's hand twisted.

Su Yun sat down and said indifferently, "I killed your son, and you had no choice but to have another. But what does that have to do with me? Let's go."

The carriage set off towards Tianfang Tower.

The Qinghong coin in Lin Zhiyuan's hand was squeezed into a ball and even began to melt, turning into a liquid that fell on the table and ignited the wooden table.

Lin Zhiyuan covered the flames with his palm, gritting his teeth and silently thinking, "Sheng'er died well, he died as he deserved! He fought you for half a month, delaying us!"

"With this half a month, the Grey Disaster Monster can recover to its former strength, greatly increasing the chances of victory for my seven great families!"

His face twisted even more, becoming ferocious, which startled Zuo Songyan across from him.

"When my seven great families rise up, it will be your time to die! I won't let you die so easily, I will make you feel what it means to be worse than death!"

In the carriage, the book monster Ying Ying lay on the rear window and looked at Lin Zhiyuan and the others. She saw Lin Zhiyuan's ferocious face gradually return to normal and become calm, and couldn't help but wonder, "Su Scholar, how did you know that he could tolerate the fact that you killed his son?"

"Because he is a smart person."

Su Yun urged the Honglu to transform, continuously absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth from the forty-five Heavenly Realms, refining it in the Tianlu, and turning it into his own blood and Qi to improve his cultivation and prepare for opening the next Heavenly Realm.

"Smart people will always find various reasons to comfort themselves and find enough reasons for their own failures."

Su Yun closed his eyes, his vision plunged into darkness, as if a cliff was in front of him and he could fall to his death at any time, but he remained calm and whispered, "Especially smart people like Lin Zhiyuan, with agile minds. They find reasons for their own failures faster than others."He mobilized his blood and strengthened his spiritual power, while imprinting various runes on his spiritual power in the Lingtian of the spiritual realm, searching for the location of the next Lingtian. He continued, "People like him, smart people, will console themselves and quickly forget their hatred. So, I'm not in any danger."

Ying Ying stuck out her tongue, withdrew her gaze, and turned to smile, "They followed you. Are they planning to supervise you in attacking Qiu Shuijing, the Tai Chang of the Ministry of Rites?"

Su Yun turned his head and saw the caravan that had followed him to the Wenchang Academy, now following behind and heading towards the Tianfang Tower.

He turned his head, his cultivation growing stronger, and his gaze flickered. "Teacher, I have come to find you. Before I worship you as my teacher, I will defeat you first!"

Qiu Shuijing stood in front of the window with a teacup in his hand, watching the approaching caravan, his gaze falling on Su Yun's carriage.

His brow split open, revealing the third eye in his forehead, the Heavenly Eye.

His Heavenly Eye rolled, and forty-six Lingtians appeared in the sky above the carriage, swallowing the qi of heaven and earth and transforming into Su Yun's blood.

And those Lingtians were actually in the form of yellow bells, rotating continuously, with an outer bell and an inner furnace, refining the qi of heaven and earth with extremely high efficiency!

"My disciple, who has not yet worshipped me, has the same strength as me. One Qingxu Lingtian, forty-five Yuching Lingtians, hmm, forty-six..."

Qiu Shuijing raised his eyebrows. In this short period of time, Su Yun had opened another Lingtian, bringing the total number of Lingtians to forty-seven, but one of them was a Qingxu Lingtian.

"According to the records of the Tian Dao Academy, Qu Jin, the Tai Chang, has forty-six Yuching Lingtians, and Xue Qingfu, the Tai Chang, has thirty-five Yuching Lingtians. But this is just a record. The actual number is unknown."

Qiu Shuijing whispered, "It's quite impressive that my disciple was able to abduct Ying Ying, and it's no wonder he can reach this level without consulting me. However, if you want to fight me, you still have a long way to go..."

Suddenly, his Heavenly Eye rolled, shifting his gaze away.

The Heavenly Eye's line of sight was not the same as his own eyes. His eyes were still fixed on Su Yun, while his Heavenly Eye was looking towards the Saint's Residence in Shuofang City!

Above the Saint's Residence, clouds floated, and a celebration cloud hung motionless in the sky above the Saint's Residence.

Despite the high winds blowing at high altitude, the celebration cloud remained as steady as a rock, with no dispersal of cloud qi.

Obviously, this was not a normal cloud.

In the center of the cloud, a huge eyeball floated there, suddenly rolling, retracting its gaze from Su Yun and looking towards Qiu Shuijing's Heavenly Eye.

The two strange eyeballs met and then each retracted their gazes.The sage was in the middle, and in the palm of Xue Qingfu's hand, the broken eyelid slowly closed, and the strange eye in the sky slowly disappeared.

"Qiu Taichang still doesn't trust me."

Xue Qingfu shook his head, smiling mysteriously, muttering to himself: "But he doesn't know how terrifyingly I have trained his disciples!"

He stood up, with his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and looked up at the sky: "I have taught him the most powerful fighting skills meticulously, which will definitely surprise you. Not only will it surprise you, but it will also surprise the emperor!"

"Ying Ying, the book monster, couldn't teach him, but I taught him everything! What you didn't have time to teach him, I taught him too!"

Xue Qingfu couldn't help laughing heartily and said leisurely: "The immortal techniques in Shuofang City will be exposed to the emperor and the world because of this!"

"Shuijing, my disciple, at that time you will realize that Di Ping is truly an irredeemable tyrant!"
