Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 302 – Criminal Zhang San

The face of Yushuang Yun grew even paler. If this place was the Spirit Realm, then it meant that the gods and the Heavenly Court were not real!

For Su Yun, it didn't matter whether the Heavenly Court and the gods were real or not. But for Yushuang Yun, who had cultivated the Heavenly Court's Divine Reflection, it was a devastating blow to her faith and belief!

As a young member of the Tongtian Pavilion, Yushuang Yun knew that the gods of the Heavenly Court were just the manifestations of the God Emperor. All the gods were different forms of the God Emperor.

The gods worshipped by different beings were different, and the gods worshipped in the Western temples were also different. But every god worshipped in the temples was just a different form of the God Emperor.

The God Emperor had countless forms, including the gods and the God Kings of the Heavenly Court. They were just more powerful forms.

However, there was one thing that was real, and that was the God Emperor himself. This was the origin of all the faith and belief of the scholars!

And now, Su Yun's experiment showed that the Heavenly Court was just the Spirit Realm, which meant that the God Emperor was not the true "god" either. The God Emperor was also fake!

The impact on Yushuang Yun could be imagined.

"Hahaha! Fake..."

Yushuang Yun suddenly laughed miserably, her laughter sounding like crying. She laughed more and more hysterically, constantly saying, "Fake, it's all fake..."

Su Yun raised his hand and slapped the girl hard on both sides of her face, saying, "Beast, why are you laughing?"

Yushuang Yun was almost driven mad, but Su Yun's slaps brought her back to her senses. Her face was burning, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling slightly better.

Other scholars looked over, and the gaze of the Great Wei Tianlong God also swept over. The scholars from the Imperial Palace were shocked when they saw this, thinking, "This Zhang San is really lawless. He even dares to hit our Senior Sister from the Imperial Palace! He even made Senior Sister vomit blood!"

Fortunately, after Su Yun slapped Yushuang Yun a few times, she stopped laughing foolishly, but she still looked dazed.

Su Yun frowned and raised his hand to hit her again, but Yushuang Yun caught his hand and said, "Stop, I'm already sober."

Su Yun withdrew his hand and said, "I have a senior who has suffered from a decline in his Dao Heart and has gone crazy. The problem is serious. I'm worried that you might also..."

Yushuang Yun fell silent for a moment and whispered, "Thank you."

Su Yun shook his head and said, "You're welcome."

Yushuang Yun's heart was in chaos. Most of the scholars wanted to enter the Heavenly Court to observe the gods and gain a deeper understanding of cultivation techniques or divine abilities. But after she discovered that the gods and the Heavenly Court were just a deception, she no longer had such thoughts.

On the contrary, when she saw many scholars from the Imperial Palace kneeling before the Great Wei Tianlong God, she felt a sense of absurdity and pity.

"Sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of happiness," she thought to herself.

For the past two hundred years, there have been people who doubted the authenticity of the Heavenly Court, but even if they doubted, there was no way to verify it. Who else, like Su Yun, had such a precise sense of time like a ticking clock? Who else could refine the clock so exquisitely?

Who else could calculate the time difference between the Spirit Realm and the exchange of items in the Spirit Realm like Su Yun did?

Only in this way could the truth that the so-called Heavenly Court was just the Spirit Realm be revealed!

Suddenly, the Great Wei Tianlong God walked towards them and stood in front of Su Yun. He was about ten zhang tall, and he bent down, his huge head leaning towards Su Yun, his three eyes rolling as he looked up and down at Su Yun.

Behind him, the floating ribbons were like red flames, lively and fluttering. The dragons entwined around him also had their manes flying, and their dragon eyes stared at Su Yun intently.

Su Yun stood proudly in front of the Great Wei Tianlong God, as if he was not here to observe and learn from the gods of the Heavenly Court, but rather the gods of the Heavenly Court were here to observe and learn from him.

"You...," the Great Wei Tianlong God snorted coldly, his face displeased. "You look very much like the rebellious criminal Yuan Shuo!"

Su Yun raised his head and said calmly, "Dragon God has mistaken me. I am Zhang San, here to observe and learn from the Dragon God."

The Great Wei Tianlong God suddenly burst into laughter, and the dragons entwined around him also laughed. Their voices echoed in the vast Heavenly Court, "You came to learn from me, so I will let you learn! Great Wei Tianlong!"

He stood up, and his divine abilities, which were like destroying the heavens and earth, were displayed one after another around Su Yun. The dragons entwined around him danced in the air, displaying exquisite movements. The dragons were lifelike, with flesh and blood, as if they truly existed.

"Great Luo Mantra!"

"Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

His majestic figure, displaying various divine abilities of the Great Wei Tianlong God around Su Yun and Yushuang Yun, was filled with the wild and domineering power of ancient beasts. The divine abilities were dangerously close to Su Yun, as if a slight deviation would turn him into dust!

The other eighteen scholars couldn't help but be shocked and delighted when they saw this. They had heard of the scene in the Heavenly Court, but they had never heard of the Heavenly Gods personally displaying their divine abilities!

They quickly memorized everything in their hearts, thinking, "It turns out that Senior Sister Yushuang Yun has such a great face. The Great Wei Tianlong God actually personally displayed his divine abilities for her to learn. That Zhang San is also lucky..."

After the Great Wei Tianlong God finished displaying his set of divine abilities, Yushuang Yun's face was already pale, her clothes soaked with sweat. But Su Yun remained unchanged, looking up at the towering and majestic deity.

"Is that all?" he asked.

The Great Wei Tianlong God clenched his fist, as if he couldn't bear to punch him, but seemed to be afraid of something. He burst into laughter and pointed his finger, saying, "Young man, go over there. The God Emperor is waiting for you!"

Su Yun walked in the direction he pointed, and Yushuang Yun hesitated for a moment before catching up with him.

Su Yun stopped and smiled without turning his head, "Miss Yun, why do you always follow me?"

Yushuang Yun said, "You are the Lord of the Tongtian Pavilion, and I am a member of the Tongtian Pavilion. I feel that I am in danger now, so naturally I can only seek the protection of the Lord."

Su Yun was speechless. Indeed, it was the responsibility of the Lord of the Tongtian Pavilion, which was also the reason why he didn't want to become the Lord in the first place.When Bu Qiurong, Doctor Dong, and others cornered him, they almost begged him to become the master of Tongtian Pavilion, explaining to him the responsibilities of the master. He had no choice but to accept, partly due to the face of his friends in the Ghost Market.

Unexpectedly, today, Yushuangyun, a lustful person, demanded that he must protect her based on the duties of the Pavilion Master.

Su Yun turned around and smiled, "Yushuangyun, do you realize that by saying this, you are acknowledging me as the master of Tongtian Pavilion?"

Yushuangyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Su Yun said, "Do you realize that by saying this, you are declaring that you will fully support me in the dispute over the Pavilion Master?"

Yushuangyun nodded vigorously, biting her fiery lower lip. Her lip bounced back, revealing white teeth marks, which were then filled with fiery color.

"I know. In the future disputes, I will definitely support the Pavilion Master and never betray!"

Yushuangyun said seriously, "The Overseas Pavilion Master failed to see the truth of the Heavenly Court, but you did, which proves that you are a better Pavilion Master!"

Su Yun sighed, and the figure of another girl appeared in front of him. He said sadly, "If Ming Yufei thought like you, she wouldn't have to die."

Yushuangyun was slightly shocked, her voice hoarse, "Ming Yufei is dead?"

"I killed her."

Su Yun walked forward, speaking indifferently, "She tried to kill me, treating others' lives as dirt. The more I knew her, the more I found her malicious. To maintain the good image of her in my heart, I had to kill her."

The young man's heart suddenly clenched inexplicably, aching faintly. The girl reading under the fruit tree had left a scar on his Dao heart.

"As for your saying that the Overseas Pavilion Master failed to see the truth of the Heavenly Court, it may not be accurate."

A bracelet appeared in Su Yun's hand. He gently fiddled with it, showing a smile as if the scar on his Dao heart didn't exist. He continued, "He might have seen it, or he might just be suspicious. So while testing my strength, he wanted to use me to strike at the Heavenly Court. He wanted to support me to fight against your Western Heavenly Court. When I defeat the Heavenly Court, my prestige and fame will reach their peak."

He smiled, "Then, when he defeats me, my prestige and fame will all contribute to him. By then, the Pavilion Master will be his, and the Heavenly Court will not be able to hinder him. He will take over the entire Tongtian Pavilion and win the hearts of all the people."

Yushuangyun showed disbelief, "You already know who he is, don't you?"

Su Yun smiled, "I can guess. The person who can mobilize Ming Yufei, who has not yet married, the disciple of the current Jade National Teacher, and the disciple of the Sword Pavilion Saint Yue Liuxi and the Martial Saint Jiang Zushi, Cang Jiuhua, isn't his identity obvious?"

He walked to the second palace of the Heavenly Court, took out a chair from the spirit world, and sat down grandly. He said lightly, "If he wants to use me to defeat the Heavenly Court, then he must have a great conflict with the power of the Heavenly Court. In all the Western countries, those who have such irreconcilable conflicts must be few and powerful! If I can't guess who he is, wouldn't I be a fool? How could I compete for the position of Pavilion Master?"

The god in this palace was the Great Virtue Vajra, holding a demon-subduing pestle. He walked out of the palace, and the pestle turned into eighteen layers of rings. The rings were hollow, and inside were imprinted scenes of the eighteen layers of hell!

The Great Virtue Vajra urged the demon-subduing pestle, and the eighteen layers of hell began to rotate within it, extremely ferocious!

The other eighteen disciples of the Imperial Palace followed. From a distance, they saw "Zhang San" sitting there motionless, while their senior sister Yushuangyun sat behind "Zhang San", which made them puzzled.

"Isn't the god showing his magical powers for the senior sister to see?"

The various magical powers of the Great Virtue Vajra seemed to be aimed at Su Yun, each move was deadly, but each strike just missed Su Yun, and he didn't really kill him.

After he finished his moves, he put down the demon-subduing pestle and pointed to the center of the Heavenly Court, "Go there!"

Su Yun put away the chair and walked past one palace after another. At each palace, a god would come out and display the most exquisite magical powers. It seemed like they were showing Su Yun, but also threatening him, indicating that they could easily kill Su Yun, which was indeed contradictory.

Suddenly, Yushuangyun understood, "Half of the God Emperor is threatening the Pavilion Master, and the other half is showing that he doesn't want to completely fall out with the Pavilion Master. Strange, does the Pavilion Master really have such strength that even the God Emperor is afraid to act rashly?"
