Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 357: Coin's eye

"It turns out to be Elder Taishui. Elder, please stay!"

Taishui was about to slip away when he heard Su Yun's voice. He couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if his feet were nailed to the ground and unable to move.

Su Yun smiled and said to everyone, "As the saying goes, 'The army and horses have not moved, but the food and grass have gone ahead.' Gentlemen, we are fortunate on this journey! This is one of the elders of my Tongtian Pavilion, Elder Taishui. Elder Taishui, why are you not staying in the Tongtian Pavilion and wandering on the sea?"

Taishui tried to shrink his size and turned into a big-headed boy, trying to be more obedient. He smiled and said, "So it's the Pavilion Master. I almost offended you. Are these the talented youths of Yuanshuo? They are all heroes. I have some matters to attend to and need to go to Yuanshuo to visit my family. I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye, goodbye."

He turned around and was about to jump into the sea. Su Yun coughed lightly and said, "Elder, please stay."

Taishui stood at the side of the ship, looked at the sea, and thought to himself, "If I jump down and activate my mana all the way, I can fly thousands of miles away. He definitely won't be able to catch up with me... But Jinwu, Jiufeng, Kylin, and Glutton can catch up with me! My body is too big and not fast enough. I can use earth escape, but it's not effective in the sea. Moreover, there are so many guys with fierce faces standing beside him. They don't look like good people... A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses!"

He turned around, and a smile filled his round face. "Pavilion Master, are you catching a cold? My flesh can prolong life and expel evil spirits. I can cut a piece for you and make it into medicine..."

Su Yun politely declined and said with a smile, "Elder, as the leader of the Tongtian Pavilion, I cannot ignore the remnants of the human and demon world causing trouble in the west. So I led the experts from Yuanshuo to suppress them. You don't need to return to Yuanshuo for now, come with me."

Taishui smiled and said, "Pavilion Master, I am not talented in fighting or strategy. I am neither high nor low. It's better for me not to cause trouble."

Su Yun smiled wryly and said, "Elder, I have thirteen older brothers and sisters here who would like to talk to you about your collaboration with the remnants and your plot against them."

He waved his hand, and thirteen wooden doors lined up in a row, appearing on the deck. One of the doors creaked open, revealing a gray-green hand with half-inch long nails gripping the door frame.

Taishui looked at the hand and couldn't help but tremble. He chuckled and said, "Is it Sister Ugly? Sister, please don't scare me..."

"It's me!" Poverty-stricken's big head poked out from behind the door and chuckled.

Glutton hurriedly opened another door and poked his head out. "And me!"

Taishui immediately changed his expression and said to Su Yun with righteousness, "Yujin is going against the heavens, committing great crimes, slaughtering fellow cultivators, and doing unrighteous things. As an elder of the Tongtian Pavilion, I must take the lead in fighting against the remnants and shedding blood for justice! Since the Pavilion Master has summoned me, I am here to fight!"

Su Yun praised, "Elder, you understand righteousness."

Glutton and Poverty-stricken came out of the door, and Taishui quickly said, "I have information about the remnants!"

Su Yun coughed and said, "Brothers, please calm down."

Glutton and Poverty-stricken, the two big-headed boys, licked their lips and waited quietly.

Taishui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The remnants couldn't harm you, my brothers and sisters. So he targeted his colleagues. Many of the gods and demons who followed him have already fallen victim to his hands and were refined into jade tablets. As an elder of the Tongtian Pavilion, Feifei, Yuguo, Yazhi, Suni, Hakutaku, and I have also fallen victim to him. I know that Yujin is powerful, so I crossed the ocean to escape to Tian Shi Yuan."

Su Yun's face darkened. Among the seven elders of the Tongtian Pavilion, five were captured, leaving only Brave Troops and Taishui.

Taishui continued, "Currently, Yujin is only one or two jade tablets away from conducting a grand sacrifice! At that time, it will be your doomsday!"

Su Yun frowned, "Yujin has changed into thirteen different gods and demons and refined them into jade tablets. How can he activate the immortal talisman and ascend to the immortal realm?"

Taishui shook his head, "I don't know about that. I saw Yujin transform into an immortal talisman and refine Yuyi and Yulei into jade tablets. It seems that he understands some of the words on the immortal talisman."

Su Yun's heart moved as he looked at Wu Tong and thought, "Wu Tong also understands some immortal texts. It's possible that Yujin learned about the words on the immortal talisman from Wu Tong."

Dao Saint asked in confusion, "Pavilion Master Su, if he can ascend to the immortal realm, isn't that a good thing? Why must we oppose Yujin?"

The others nodded. They didn't have a good impression of gods and demons like Winged Dragon and Glutton, even though the gods like Winged Dragon had helped humanity suppress and expel the demons in the past. Sacrificing these gods and demons seemed insignificant to them.

Holy Buddha said, "We can tolerate the human and demon Wu Tong, so why can't we tolerate the human and demon Yujin?"

Taishui sneered, "Little monk, little Taoist, you are so naive. What if Yujin intends to sacrifice the world's vitality?"

Dao Saint didn't understand, "Sacrifice the world's vitality? For what?"

Taishui hesitated for a moment and said, "Yujin's plan is to sacrifice the world's vitality and turn it into the vitality of the pre-calamity world. In that case, the calamity monsters can survive in this new world, and the creatures sleeping in the underground calamity city can come back to life..."

Holy Buddha couldn't help but get angry and asked, "As an elder of the Tongtian Pavilion, you actually help him do such things?"

"I am a demon god. Is it strange for me to help him?" Taishui showed no fear and said righteously, "Moreover, if we ascend to the immortal realm, who would stay in this insignificant little world? Naturally, we would go to the immortal realm and enjoy ourselves. What does it have to do with this world being destroyed?"

The elders of the Fire Cloud Cave were furious and stepped forward to question him, "As an elder of the Tongtian Pavilion, how can you say such things? Aren't you just like a demon?"

Taishui glanced at them and sneered, "You were just saying why we can't tolerate the human and demon Yujin, but now that you hear Yujin wants to sacrifice the world's vitality, you can't tolerate it anymore. I just spoke the truth, and now even I am a demon. It's truly ridiculous!"

Everyone's faces froze.Su Yun said gently, "Everyone, the purpose of my Tongtian Pavilion is to establish a bridge to the Immortal Realm. The heavens in Tongtian represent the Immortal Realm. Therefore, Elder Taisui's help in assisting Yu Jin's ascension does not go against the main objective of Tongtian Pavilion."

Elder Taisui praised, "Master, you understand me. Master, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but the people you have brought here are nothing more than a group of weaklings. Even if it's Yu Jin, I can easily slaughter them all."

The crowd was filled with anger and frustration.

"Do you think I am afraid of you, that's why I am speaking with a smile on my face? I am only afraid of the Master, as for all of you, I have never been afraid!"

Elder Taisui sneered, and suddenly countless flesh and blood grew, covering every part of the ship, turning the entire ship into a solid flesh and blood warship!

The warship suddenly grew bones and phoenix wings, and the internal organs of gods and demons grew inside the ship. The shape of the entire ship transformed into a massive celestial ship in an instant!

This celestial ship revealed numerous mysterious and magnificent runes on its hull, which the experts of Yuanshuo couldn't understand, only recognizing the basic runes.

The flesh and blood warship flapped its wings and rose into the air, floating on the sea. The storm stirred under the wings of the ship, carrying the ship forward at high speed!

Such vast and violent power astonished Holy Buddha, Dao Saint, and others.

Elder Taisui calmly controlled the flesh and blood warship and sneered, "I can attach myself to anything and transform decay into wonders, turning them into spiritual weapons. When the first Holy Emperor led his troops across the sea, I was responsible for transporting supplies. I wasn't meant to be food for others!"

Su Yun coughed and said, "Elder Taisui, they already know how formidable you are. However, you have flown in the wrong direction. Yuanshuo is over there."

Elder Taisui was fearless towards anyone on the ship except for him. He had to change direction and continue towards Da Qin.

The flesh and blood warship flew higher and higher, gradually leaving the earthly realm behind. This ability made Dao Saint, Holy Buddha, and many elders of Huoyun Cave change their expressions.

As for the sailors on the ship, they were shocked. Their ship was originally just a vessel sailing on the sea, but under the power of gods and demons, it was now flying towards the sky.

"Is this the power of gods and demons?" Dao Saint murmured.

"No, brother Dao, this is a new power."

Su Yun whispered, "The scholars of Jiange created this type of ship that can fly into the sky. Elder Taisui is merely imitating the celestial ship with his own flesh and blood. In Jiange, even a dozen scholars can work together to create smaller celestial ships and sail into the sky."

The experts of Yuanshuo were shocked and fell silent.

The flesh and blood warship controlled by Elder Taisui flew to a high altitude and could no longer ascend. Although he had mastered the runes of the celestial ship, his flesh and blood did not have bones. He could only rely on the framework of attachments or the strength of his own flesh and blood, so he couldn't reach the speed to break through the sky.

However, in the high altitude, the resistance was smaller, and the consumption of mana was not significant. At this speed, they could travel for more than a month in just two or three days.

"I hope Elder Pixiu can hold on until we arrive," Su Yun whispered.

"Pixiu will definitely be found."

Elder Taisui, connected to the flesh and blood ship, controlled the direction and said loudly, "To avoid Yu Jin's search, there is only one way, and that is to have no thoughts. When I escaped from Da Qin, I treated myself as a piece of moving flesh, without any distractions in my mind. That's how I escaped. Pixiu is different, he has distractions. He is greedy for wealth."

In Da Qin, in a village in Qiaoshan County, suddenly someone shouted, "There is a treasure light in the ancient well at the village entrance, and it's spewing money!"

The villagers rushed towards the ancient well, and sure enough, they saw the brilliant treasure light and the flowing Qinghong coins!

Everyone hurriedly rushed to grab them, saying, "This is a rare occurrence! Could it be an auspicious sign from heaven?"

Among the crowd, a chubby and amiable-looking teenager was also grabbing the money. However, unlike others who put the money in their pockets, he put it in his mouth.

His mouth seemed like a bottomless pit, no matter how many Qinghong coins were stuffed in, they disappeared without a trace.

The chubby teenager with dark circles under his eyes, as if he couldn't wake up no matter what, continued to stuff money into his mouth. Suddenly, the atmosphere became strange, and all the villagers who were grabbing the Qinghong coins stopped and looked at him with a strange gaze, wearing a creepy smile.

"We found you."

They all said in unison, "Elder Pixiu!"

The chubby teenager's face changed drastically. He turned around and looked around, only to see a white-haired young man walking towards him with his hands behind his back.

"So it's just Yu Jin's brat!"

The chubby teenager knew he couldn't escape, snorted, and reached behind him. He took out a bamboo shoot from somewhere and took a few bites. He smirked, "I only spared you because you are also a member of Tongtian Pavilion. I didn't want to deal with you. Do you think you are my match?"

He flicked his finger, and a five-zhu coin flew out.

The five-zhu coin soared into the air with a whooshing sound, growing bigger and bigger, sucking Yu Jin into the coin's eye!

Yu Jin didn't have time to struggle and was instantly sucked into the coin's eye!

He had just fallen into the coin's eye when he saw countless five-zhu coins coming towards him. He even saw himself splitting into countless pieces, falling into all the coin's eyes!

The chubby teenager Pixiu continued to eat the bamboo shoot and laughed, "All living beings are driven by self-interest, and everyone is after their own gain. No one can escape my money eye."

Just as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed slightly. He clutched his stomach, and his complexion became increasingly ugly. "The money I ate..."

"Boom!"

The young Pixiu knelt on the ground, feeling his stomach becoming heavier and heavier. He couldn't help but open his mouth and vomit money, more and more money pouring out, turning into mountains of gold and silver, engulfing himself.

"What I ate just now wasn't money, but something used to deal with me..." He finally realized.At this moment, the remaining ashes finally broke through Brave Troops' divine power and fell out of the coin's eye, laughing, "Brave Troops, if you hadn't fallen into the coin's eye yourself, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy for me to take you down!"

The young Brave Troops was still spitting out coins, but the remaining ashes had already transformed into a fairy charm. A ray of fairy light shone down, and the young Brave Troops was beaten back into his original form, turning into a Brave Troops jade token.

"Only one jade token left." The remaining ashes said.

Behind him, Qin Wuling slowly walked out, saying, "Fortunately, Master Su will soon bring more gods and demons."

The remaining ashes turned around and smiled, "Master Su should be arriving soon, right?"

On the other side of the village entrance, young Han Jun stood in the shadows, saying, "He is about to land."

——First update. The second update will be around nine o'clock.
