Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 157 – Feel helpless

The thunder kept striking towards Master Lingyue and Hua Hu, making the Peng family and their ancestor widen their eyes in shock.

In the midst of the thunder tribulation, Master Lingyue shouted, "We are helping others to overcome the tribulation, refining the righteousness of our Confucian and Taoist teachings. This is immeasurable merit!"

"Yes! Shameless merit!" Hua Hu was struck and dizzy, yelling.

Peng family ancestor regained some sanity and muttered to himself, "I have seen countless robberies in my life, but this is the first time I've seen someone robbing a tribulation..."

With Master Lingyue leading the thunder tribulation, the Peng family ancestor was slightly calmer, but it only delayed the time.

Not being struck by the thunder tribulation did not stop the half-demon from becoming stronger as the demonic aura in Shuofang City grew, and he would eventually be controlled by the demonic aura!

On the other side, the situation for the Lu family had become extremely bad. The demonic aura hovering above the Lu family's immortal residence was low and fluctuating, like a battlefield after a fierce battle.

There were many spiritualists from the Lu family standing in this demonic aura battlefield, extremely nervous. The extreme negative emotions of killing, invading, violating, torturing, and destroying filled the demonic aura battlefield around them, causing their spiritual nature to twist.

What they saw in front of them were corpses everywhere, which was a strange illusion caused by the demonic aura emanating from the Xuantie Black Coffin.

"Don't move! It's just an illusion!"

The head of the Lu family stood in front, his forehead covered in sweat, urging his mana to flow into chains that locked the Xuantie Black Coffin tighter and tighter, shouting, "Ancestor, you are just being influenced by the demonic aura! We are your bloodline, your descendants. Please restrain your demonic aura!"

An old voice came from the Xuantie Black Coffin, hoarsely saying, "Tianying, I can't suppress the demonic aura anymore. You all go! Leave here quickly..."

"The Lu family cannot leave!"

The head of the Lu family sweated even more on his forehead, using all his mana with other Lu family spiritualists to lock the coffin tightly, sternly saying, "If the ancestor is invaded by the demonic aura and becomes a demon king, then we, the Lu family, will have to fight to the death! If the ancestor wants to kill, then kill us, his descendants, first, to avoid slaughtering the people of Shuofang!"

"Since you say so..."

The voice of the Lu family ancestor in the black coffin suddenly became extremely indifferent, "Then I will grant your wish!"

"Boom!"

The Xuantie Black Coffin and the chains exploded, and countless corpse hairs penetrated the demonic aura, flying everywhere. In the center of the corpse hair was a black figure.

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant came, and Master Tu Ming carried the statue of the Jialan Venerable from the Shijia Monastery, leaping over and throwing the statue out.The statue of Elder Jialan descended upon the head of the Lu family ancestor, and as its spirit arrived, it suppressed him. However, as soon as they clashed, he felt overwhelmed and cried out, "Monk, I am no match for him!"

"Isn't there still me?"

Tu Ming's body emitted a great Buddha light, and behind him, layers upon layers of halos burst forth. Within the halos sat numerous great Buddhas, and they spoke in unison, "Elder, let us suppress his demonic nature together! As long as we can slightly suppress his demonic nature and restore his rationality, it will be enough!"

The demonic nature of the Lu family ancestor was suppressed by the two Buddhist experts for a while, and he immediately regained his rationality. Seeing the tragic deaths and injuries of the Lu family's spiritualists, he couldn't help but feel great grief.

The tribulation above his head had already formed, and the old ancestor stood beneath the thunderclouds, looking towards the other ancient families of Shuofang City. He saw that the Ye family and other ancient families were also surrounded by thick thunderclouds, and chaos was rampant.

Many experts floated in the air, attempting to suppress the out-of-control ancestors of the families.

"We wanted to protect Shuofang and shelter the people, but we didn't expect that this day would come, where we would cause harm to the people of Shuofang!" The Lu family ancestor sighed heavily.

Among the seven great families, it was quiet. Tong Qingyun and the old immortal Tong stood in the Immortal Abode, watching this scene from afar.

The old immortal Tong couldn't suppress his excitement and his eyes flickered. "Old Immortal, now is the best time. As long as we act, we can eliminate all the stumbling blocks of the Li family, Peng family, Ye family, and others in Shuofang City with one fell swoop! Please give the order, Old Immortal!"

Tong Qingyun smiled faintly and said, "What's the rush? If we go now, won't we be walking into their trap and fighting with these old undead? Let these old undead fall into their own demonic nature, go on a killing spree, and leave them dead and injured everywhere. Wouldn't that be better?"

The old immortal Tong was taken aback and hurriedly said, "But if they suppress the demonic nature of these old undead, won't our efforts be in vain?"

Tong Qingyun shook his head and said, "It's only a temporary suppression. Even if the Duke of Wen intervenes to suppress their demonic nature, it will only solve the crisis temporarily."

His gaze turned cold as he looked towards the Li family in Shuofang City and smiled, "Besides, the Duke of Wen has already been dealt with by Tian Kongyue. Without the Duke of Wen, who can suppress their demonic nature?"

"Shuofang City will be in great chaos because of these ancestors of the families, and the Duke of Shuofang and several major families will be destroyed tonight. Even the Lao Piao Ba Zi and all the Piao Ba Zi of the Green Forest will suffer heavy casualties because of this!"

Tong Qingyun said softly, "Our enemies have lost eighty to ninety percent of their strength in an instant, while we have not expended any effort."

Just then, suddenly, ten magnificent pictures were spread out over the sky above Shuofang City!

The ten pictures, including the Sandalwood Imperial Scenery, the Heaven Overlooking Scenery, the Square Garden Scenery, and the Clouds and Sky Scenery, emitted a strange light, but they did not unleash their full power!

These ten magnificent pictures were moving rapidly towards the Li family in Shuofang City.

Tong Qingyun was stunned and exclaimed, "What's going on? Weren't the ten magnificent pictures with the Tian family? What is Tian Wuji doing?"The old immortal Tong did not expect such a change and immediately summoned the Tong family's spiritualists to investigate. At this time, Tian Wuji had already sent a spiritualist to report the news, saying, "Left Supervisor and Su Shangshi teamed up to break into the Tian family at night and stole the Ten Embroidered Picture!"

The old immortal Tong's face changed drastically and he immediately told Tong Qingyun about the news.

Tong Qingyun paced anxiously and suddenly looked up at the Ten Embroidered Picture, murmuring, "Is that Su Shangshi really so difficult to deal with? Why can he repeatedly decipher our plans? Di Ping, you have been living in the Eastern Capital and can still control the Shuofang area, you are impressive... However, even if you can find talented people like Su Shangshi, you can't beat me!"

His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he laughed wildly, "Good! Di Ping, I will compete with the Su Shangshi you sent and see who is more skilled!"

Tong Qingyun pushed open the window and walked out of the immortal's residence, ordering, "Notify other aristocratic families to go to the Hou family in Shuofang immediately!"

The old immortal Tong quickly ordered and informed other aristocratic families.

Tong Qingyun walked towards the Li family in Shuofang and muttered, "Su Shangshi, I never regarded you as an opponent before, but now... huh?"

He made a soft sound and saw Qiu Shuijing standing with his hands behind his back under the moonlight ahead.

Tong Qingyun's eyes twitched, and he looked up at the sky with a smile that was not a smile, "Mr. Shuijing, today is January 29th. Where did the moon come from in the sky?"

Qiu Shuijing turned around, looked up at the moon, and said leisurely, "If there is a bright moon in my heart, there will be a bright moon in the sky. Master Tong, do you think this moon will shine on your canal?"

Tong Qingyun's heart jumped and he secretly exclaimed, "Impressive."

"Su Shangshi is indeed extraordinary. He has already calculated my next move, so he asked Qiu Shuijing to stop me. Qiu Shuijing came prepared, but can he really stop me?"

His momentum became stronger and stronger, and suddenly the sound of a dragon's roar came from the void. A dragon bone slowly appeared and then grew into a complete dragon with organs, blood vessels, muscles, and scales.

"Mr. Shuijing is joking. This canal of mine is not an ordinary canal, but a natural moat."

Tong Qingyun smiled faintly and said leisurely, "Maybe it can bury you in it too!"

Qiu Shuijing's eyes twitched as he watched the real dragon swimming in the air. This was the true power of a real dragon, and even he felt the pressure!

At the same time, other aristocratic families received the news and their old immortals rushed towards the Li family in Shuofang.

Tong Qingyun was confident of victory and couldn't help but smile, "Su Shangshi must not have expected that Tian Kongyue was hidden in the Ten Embroidered Picture, right? You can't beat me..."

"Are you waiting for Tian Kongyue to kill Su Yun and ambush Zuo Songyan?"Qiu Shuijing seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly, "Zuo Songyan got the Ten Embroidered Map. To prevent you from tampering with it, he made countless changes to it. You don't have to worry about Tian Kongyue. Once he enters the Ten Embroidered Map, he won't be able to come out and pose a threat to anyone."

.

Long Xiang carried Su Yun and the others as they sped along, and when Su Yun unfolded the Ten Embroidered Map, he saw the map suddenly spread out in the air and whizzed forward with them.

"Did Left Supervisor raise the map?" Su Yun turned around but didn't see Zuo Songyan and was puzzled.

In the Ten Embroidered Map, landscapes appeared, but he had no idea how to use it.

Ahead, Shuofang Marquis and a group of Li family experts and Piao Bashizi were already using all their strength to suppress the out-of-control old General Li in the Godly Immortal Residence, smashing the Li family's immortal abode to pieces.

The two sides fought fiercely on the ruins of the immortal abode.

Long Xiang was still heading towards Shuofang Marquis Li's family, and Su Yun, Chi Xiaoyao, and the book monster Ying Ying looked at the Ten Embroidered Map. Chi Xiaoyao, with her keen eyes, suddenly said, "There are people in the map!"

Su Yun followed her finger and saw two people in the map, one of whom was the literary sage Emperor Wen Chang, whom Su Yun had seen before, and the other was the old immortal of the Tian family, Tian Kongyue!

Emperor Wen Chang turned into a stone statue, while Tian Kongyue sat next to the statue, his magical powers turning into a divine dragon shroud, with more than a dozen divine dragon tails connected to each other, inverted and pressed down, trapping Emperor Wen Chang underneath.

Although Emperor Wen Chang had a golden body and great saintly spirit, he could only be trapped in a state of being refined, quite passive.

"Hahaha!"

Tian Kongyue's laughter came from the map, his voice booming, "Su Shangshi, I refined Emperor Wen Chang and turned him into the holy spirit in the Ten Embroidered Map, so this treasure belongs to me. And you, can do nothing!"

He said leisurely, "Zuo Songyan made so many changes to the Ten Embroidered Map, thinking that I couldn't see through it, but I didn't expect that I had broken all the bans he left behind, set traps, and trapped Emperor Wen Chang! This treasure is now in my hands!"

"Emperor Wen Chang has been suppressed."

The book monster Ying Ying pouted and said, "Look, there's the Spirit Prison Trapping Heaven Cage Formation in the map."

Su Yun immediately noticed the stone tablets scattered all over the map, which formed the Spirit Prison Trapping Heaven Cage Formation, specifically designed to suppress spirits!

"No wonder Emperor Wen Chang can't resist. The Spirit Prison Trapping Heaven Cage can trap even the spirits of gods, demons, and humans, let alone saints."

Su Yun thought of this and suddenly shook the reins, and Long Xiang charged into the Spirit Prison Trapping Heaven Cage.

The book monster Ying Ying screamed, her spirit being suppressed and turning back into a book, while Long Xiang suddenly petrified and slid forward for dozens of zhang, tumbling and rolling.

Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao landed, and Chi Xiaoyao quickly raised her hand to catch the fluttering books.

Su Yun walked up to a stone tablet and shook it.In the distance, Tian Kongyue's face changed dramatically, and he quickly shouted, "You little brat, what are you doing?"

Su Yun raised his hand and lifted the stone tablet. The book in Chi Xiaoyao's hand immediately turned into a young girl with a bang, while Long Xiang was still sliding and quickly restored his physical body.

Tian Kongyue's face changed drastically as he looked towards the Divine Dragon Barrier. He saw that the statue of Wen Chang Emperor was rapidly recovering into a flesh and blood body!

"It's over..." Tian Kongyue lamented and immediately flew into the sky towards the outside world.

"Bang!"

His face was stuck to the sky, as if stuck to a mirror and unable to get out.

"Zuo Songyan, your grandpa, made so many moves in the diagram!"
