Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 243 – Fox

"Left Protector!""Old Gourd!"

Su Yun and Ying Ying exclaimed at the same time. The old man with the embroidered fragrant handkerchief covering his "face" was none other than Left Protector Zuo Songyan of the Wen Chang Academy.

"When did he arrive in the Eastern Capital?"

Su Yun was annoyed and said, "After arriving in the Eastern Capital, he didn't even come to find me!"

But Zuo Songyan took Qiu Shuijing away, his speed was fast, and others couldn't react in time. By the time they woke up, he had already escaped far away.

The geography of the Eastern Capital was extremely vast, and it was difficult to find the two of them here.

But this was a rare opportunity. The people of the Eastern Capital were used to picking up leaks. If they could pick up this leak and get rid of Qiu Shuijing, who was determined to reform, then the world would be at peace.

The Eastern Capital became extremely strange. The leaders and controllers of the major clans in the Eastern Capital, the high-ranking officials of the Yuan Shuo, all chased after Zuo Songyan and Qiu Shuijing without making a sound!

Wherever they passed, the lights of the soul lamps went out one by one, and soon the Eastern Capital became dark.

This was the first time such a thing had happened since the city was built!

"We can't let Qiu Shuijing live until tomorrow!"

Someone conveyed the message in the darkness, "Get rid of him tonight. By tomorrow, he will be Qiu Yushi, the dominant figure among the three officials! Unless another emperor is established, no one can compete with him!"

Almost all the aristocratic families in the Eastern Capital were mobilized at this moment to participate in this hunting.

Su Yun stood on the fairy rope in the sky and looked down. Suddenly, he took out a wooden box and changed several streets in the Eastern Capital. The people who were chasing after Zuo Songyan suddenly decreased a lot.

But more and more people came to hunt, and soon someone found the two of them and spread the news in the darkness, calling for friends.

Su Yun frowned, and suddenly Ying Ying said, "Wu Tong is gone!"

Su Yun was taken aback and hurriedly looked over. Sure enough, there was no trace of Wu Tong on the fairy rope, and Jiao Shu'Ao in the distance also disappeared.

"Wu Tong went to find Xue Qingfu!"

Su Yun thought to himself, "Xue Qingfu is Han Jun, the Ge Long scholar 150 years ago. He made a promise to Wu Tong and promised to release Wu Tong after leaving the Zong Long Tomb, but he did not fulfill his promise. Wu Tong was trapped in the Zong Long Tomb for more than 150 years, and now she is starting her revenge."

At this moment, a terrifying divine power fluctuation suddenly erupted from the tenth layer of the Eastern Capital's imperial palace!

The people who were chasing after Zuo Songyan and Qiu Shuijing stopped one after another, looking up at the imperial palace with a look of doubt and shock.

How noble was the imperial palace? Who dared to use force here?

Su Yun also looked towards the direction of the imperial palace and thought to himself, "Wen Prime Minister is not here. Did he really go into the palace to assassinate Di Ping?"

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to use the wooden box to control the buildings in the Eastern Capital to save Zuo Songyan and Qiu Shuijing.

The imperial palace was guarded by the Forbidden Army, and it was full of killing intent.

"Boom!"Suddenly, a grand hall exploded, and several corpses rolled out. Then, Wen Guanshan, covered in blood, slowly walked out of the hole in the hall.

He had killed his way here and was now standing in front of the Golden Luang Hall.

Qiu Shuijing's battle with Xue Qingfu had attracted the attention of most of the powerful families in the Eastern Capital, but Wen Guanshan's ability to break through the palace's defenses and make his way to the Golden Luang Hall went unnoticed.

Wen Guanshan looked up and saw that the Golden Luang Hall was brightly lit, as if it were daytime. Emperor Di Ping sat on the throne, dressed in a yellow robe, motionless.

Wen Guanshan frowned slightly.

"Form a formation!"

An order was given, and the Imperial Guards immediately activated their formation. A huge dragon and phoenix ring rose from the formation, emitting an overwhelming imperial aura!

This ring was none other than the Dragon and Phoenix Gold Ring, one of the five imperial treasures of the Yuan Shuo dynasty. It was used by the first emperor to slay countless enemies.

The gold ring cracked and split into a dragon and a phoenix, flying above the formation.

The Imperial Guards were responsible for the Dragon and Phoenix Gold Ring, one of the five imperial treasures. But Wen Guanshan was not impressed and sneered, "The Dragon and Phoenix Gold Ring is thousands of years old. It can't withstand today's Daoist techniques."

Just as he was about to move forward, footsteps were heard on the left side of the Golden Luang Hall. Soldiers and horses surged forward, and another treasure rose into the air, activated by the Imperial Guards.

This treasure was the Nine Cauldrons, also one of the five imperial treasures. The emperor who forged the cauldrons fought against the demon god Xiangliu and was ultimately exiled by Emperor Yu.

Wen Guanshan's face changed slightly. Footsteps were heard on the right side of the Golden Luang Hall, and another group of Imperial Guards rushed forward, forming a formation. The sun and moon rose in the formation, revolving around each other. This was the Sun and Moon Imperial Treasure of the third emperor of the Yuan Shuo dynasty.

Wen Guanshan's face changed again. Another group of Imperial Guards rushed forward and formed a formation around a wooden stake with a green dragon coiling around it. Once activated, it became towering and majestic, and the green dragon's roar echoed throughout the formation. This was the imperial treasure of the fourth emperor of the Yuan Shuo dynasty.

Wen Guanshan was surrounded by the four great formations and four great imperial treasures. He was trapped and couldn't escape.

"Did Qiu Shuijing plan this?"

Wen Guanshan laughed, "The censor is just an assistant to the prime minister, responsible for supervising the officials. But he has started to plot against the prime minister and the grand commandant. Is this what a censor does? Your Majesty, I have a petition to make and accuse Qiu Shuijing of abusing his power!"

"Prime Minister, you are mistaken."

Emperor Di Ping on the other side of the Golden Luang Hall smiled and stood up, walking out of the hall, saying leisurely, "Although Censor Qiu has plotted against you and Grand Commandant Xue, he is not the mastermind behind it. He is just a pawn. The real mastermind is someone else."

Wen Guanshan looked at him and chuckled, "Your Majesty, are you saying that you are the mastermind?"Di Ping smiled slightly and a guard brought over a dragon throne.

He sat on the dragon throne, overlooking Wen Guanshan from a high position.

Wen Guanshan was about to speak when suddenly his pupils shrank. He saw an old fox slowly walking from the corner of the wall, yawning and glancing at him as it came to Di Ping's feet.

Wen Guanshan couldn't believe his eyes as he recognized the fox and its fur.

Wen Guanshan looked at Di Ping and then at the old fox, and said in disbelief, "It's you!"

"Of course it's me."

The fox sat on its hind legs, with its front legs on the ground, sitting very upright, like a high-ranking official in the court.

"I've come to get revenge on you. I've been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for you to reveal a flaw. If you don't move, there is no flaw, but as soon as you move, you will reveal a flaw. And when Baomian Chaos comes to the Eastern Capital, it's when you will act."

The fox's face showed a sneer, as if mocking Wen Guanshan: "Xue Qingfu and Qiu Shuijing have arrived in the Eastern Capital, and you have indeed started to act. Dao Saint and Holy Buddha were injured, making you unable to bear it. At this time, you have a flaw."

The old fox's smile grew bigger and bigger, suddenly opened its mouth and laughed loudly, "You didn't expect it, did you? I also came to the Eastern Capital! I have been silently watching you from behind, staring at you, watching you make mistakes step by step. I even brought unexpected people to ambush you, making you more injured and forcing you to retaliate!"

Wen Guanshan's face grew darker and darker, but he smiled, "I just didn't expect that you were my enemy. If I had thought of it, you would have had no chance. But it's not too late now."

The old fox remained motionless and said calmly, "Please decree to kill the rebels."

Di Ping raised his hand and said calmly, "Kill."

.

The four great formations erupted and swallowed Wen Guanshan!

That night, the city was in chaos. There were many killings in the imperial city, and many high-level experts from various factions fought to hunt down Qiu Shuijing and Zuo Songyan, with several major battles breaking out.

Although Zuo Songyan was small in stature, his combat power was top-notch. He fought in the Eastern Capital, killing several old monsters in the realm of Dao Saint, which was frightening.

But he was also seriously injured, and Qiu Shuijing was also seriously injured and had to help. The two of them were getting more and more injured.

Zuo Songyan's explosive power was above Qiu Shuijing's. He forcibly activated his profound power, allowing his body to return to youth, and he continued to carry Qiu Shuijing and flee.

Su Yun walked in the sky, constantly urging the wooden box to guide them and lead them to avoid danger.

Finally, Su Yun protected the two of them and led them to the seventh level of the Eastern Capital, entering Qingxu Temple.

The two broke into Qingxu Temple, and Zuo Songyan was still somewhat suspicious, not knowing who was quietly changing the geography of the Eastern Capital.

But he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly shouted, "Lao Dong, come out and save us!"

Doctor Dong rushed out and asked, "Is Lao Piaozi injured?"

"Save him first!"Zuo Songyan gritted his teeth and pointed at Qiu Shuijing, saying, "I was stronger than him when we were young, and I can handle it!"

Doctor Dong hurriedly treated Qiu Shuijing's injuries.

"But Dao Saint can't protect us at all," Zuo Songyan frowned deeply. "Dao Saint is seriously injured, and can only do about forty or fifty percent!"

At this moment, a clear and empty sword flew through the sky and entered Dao Saint's sickroom.

Dao Saint was also uncertain and struggled to get up from the bed, looking out anxiously. "This sword was given to Su Ge by the old Taoist to suppress the demons in his memory. Why did he send it back? But fortunately, there is still the old bald donkey's Thunder Sound Clock, which should be able to suppress them for a while..."

Just then, there was a commotion outside the Clear Void Temple. Someone shouted, "The thief is in the Clear Void Temple! Search inside!"

Dao Saint's heart sank, and he limped out with his sword, saying to Qiu Shuijing, "Someone is trying to take advantage of my injury and kill me."

Qiu Shuijing gasped and said, "I know who wants to kill the saint."

Dao Saint suddenly realized and sighed, "He was a good young man..."

Just then, the sound of a bell rang in the sky. Several people looked up and saw the Thunder Sound Clock flying out, floating towards the Thunder Sound Pavilion.

And the Holy Land of Buddhism, Thunder Sound Pavilion, actually grew legs and feet, like a giant spider, rising up from the ground and rushing towards the Clear Void Temple!

The Holy Buddha was also recovering from his injuries and was also uncertain. "Who turned my Thunder Sound Pavilion into a spiritual weapon?"

Li Zhuxian and Li Muge had been studying at the Thunder Sound Pavilion for the past few days, waiting for news from the Tian Dao Institute. The two siblings were also alarmed and looked around.

"Guo'er?" The big bird Tianfeng poked out its furry head, only to see the Thunder Sound Pavilion running wildly, and couldn't help but be curious.

The Thunder Sound Pavilion arrived next to the Clear Void Temple, and its steel legs firmly planted on the ground, sitting down and wiggling its butt as if it wanted to sit more firmly.

The many experts from the aristocratic families who had surrounded the Clear Void Temple dared not break in and could only wait outside.

When dawn came, everyone quietly retreated.

"After this night, we will be safe," Zuo Songyan breathed a sigh of relief and grinned. "Old classmate, someone is secretly protecting you! Why not invite this senior out?"

Qiu Shuijing, still young, had recovered somewhat from his injuries and said, "It's not a senior, it's Su Shizi from your Wenchang Academy's Geyuan Institute."

Zuo Songyan was stunned and asked, "He's protecting you? How is he protecting you?"

Dao Saint and Holy Buddha looked at their own sword and clock respectively, each frowning deeply.

They were too old, and although Doctor Dong had done his best to treat them, their injuries were still healing much slower than Zuo Songyan and Qiu Shuijing's. "This is not good, not good at all!"The two old saints sighed in unison, thinking to themselves: "If our Great Saint Spirit Soldier is still in his spiritual realm, he can still suppress the gods and demons. Now that he has been sent back, I'm afraid that thing has already escaped! I hope nothing chaotic will happen..."
