Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 321: Desperate situations

Su Yun felt a little melancholy. If Qiu Shuijing had not left back then and stayed in Jiange, how powerful would they three have become?

But in Qiu Shuijing's heart, nothing could compare to the life and death of Yuanshuo.

Luo Wanyi stepped forward and took out Yue Liuxi's spiritual realm.

Her supernatural powers were quite unique. With her jade-like fingers, she tapped on the nodes of Yue Liuxi's spiritual realm, infusing her own mana into them, transforming them into wonderful runes.

Compared to a saint, her mana was extremely weak, but her control over runes reached an extraordinary level, allowing her to control Yue Liuxi's spiritual realm with minimal effort.

"Su Scholar, Luo Wanyi's supernatural powers are much more refined than yours," Ying Ying whispered.

Su Yun nodded gently. He also noticed that Luo Wanyi's supernatural powers were more exquisite. Moreover, when Yue Liuxi entrusted the Jiange scholars before his death, he entrusted them to Luo Wanyi and not to Cang Jiuhua or Yu Shuangyun. This indicated that in Yue Liuxi's heart, Luo Wanyi held a much higher position than Cang Jiuhua and Yu Shuangyun.

"She is very powerful," Su Yun thought.

Yue Liuxi's spiritual realm was extremely vast, comparable to a small paradise.

Before his death, he entrusted Luo Wanyi to retrieve his spiritual realm and bring the Jiange scholars back to Da Qin, as without the Heavenly Ship, any small boat would not have enough air to sustain their return to Da Qin.

However, his spiritual realm was spacious enough, and it was stable enough. The scholars could take refuge in his spiritual realm and return to Da Qin. When they hit the ground, the spiritual artifacts would also provide a significant cushioning effect, preserving the lives of the scholars.

After all, falling from tens of thousands of miles in the sky, there were not many scholars whose mana could support them to land safely!

Luo Wanyi took out the essence of this saint's body and took out a wooden door from her own spiritual realm. Opening the door, she placed Yue Liuxi's spiritual realm behind it and carefully refined it, saying, "It's done."

The scholars planned to take Yue Liuxi's body with them on the small boat, but Luo Wanyi shook her head and said, "We can't take it with us. If the two gods and demons don't see the Lord's body, they won't leave."

The scholars from the Martial Saint Pavilion were furious. "Do you mean the Lord cannot return to his homeland after his death?"

Luo Wanyi remained calm and said, "The Lord's essence has already shattered. Even if we bring his body back, we cannot restore his essence. Those two gods and demons won't leave until they see the Lord's body. So we can only leave his body here. If they see the Lord's body, perhaps fewer people will die. That's what the Lord wanted."

The scholars fell silent.

Yu Shuangyun couldn't help but ask, "If they see the Lord's body and still don't leave, will they try to kill us all?"

Luo Wanyi glanced at her, and Yu Shuangyun dared not speak.

Cang Jiuhua moved his lips but refrained from speaking.

Luo Wanyi said, "Leaving the Lord's body behind is to maximize our chances of survival. Even if it's a chance, there is still a possibility of failure, even if it's 99 percent. I'm only considering maximizing the chances of survival and fulfilling the Lord's request."

Her rationality and calmness were extremely rare, even giving people a sense of fear. Now Su Yun understood where Yu Shuangyun's fear of her came from.

"Now, we split up and search for other scholars. Gather them at the landing site of the other half of the Heavenly Ship. Also, find the other teachers from our Jiange and avoid those you don't recognize."

Her thoughts were meticulous. "There may be people from other forces on the Heavenly Ship."

The scholars from the Martial Saint Pavilion agreed.

Luo Wanyi looked at Su Yun again and said, "Su Lord, I noticed that several people from the Yuanshuo Tongtian Pavilion have also entered Jiange this time. Please find them, as having them will increase our chances of survival."

Su Yun asked, "What about you?"

Luo Wanyi hesitated for a moment and then said calmly, "I will also search for experts from the Overseas Tongtian Pavilion. As long as we have enough people, we will have the power to fight against the gods and demons."

Yu Shuangyun, Cang Jiuhua, and the others were slightly shocked but remained silent.

Su Yun looked deeply into her eyes, and Luo Wanyi also looked back at him. Su Yun sighed, "No wonder Lord Yue Liuxi appointed me as the teacher of the Martial Saint Pavilion. It turns out that there is such a deep meaning behind it. Lord Yue's arrangements are truly profound."

He picked up the headless body of the Flame Crow and walked out of the ancient city ruins.

Luo Wanyi watched him enter the raging sea of fire outside the city and said, "Leave the Lord's body and don't touch it. If your strength is insufficient, leave the sea of fire on the small boat."

She also walked into the sea of fire, disappearing into the raging flames.

The small boat sailed out of the ancient city ruins. On the bow, Yu Shuangyun and Cang Jiuhua exchanged glances, each lost in their own thoughts.

Su Yun placed the headless body of the Flame Crow in his spiritual realm and transformed his true essence into the form of the Flame Crow, using it as a cushion to walk on the fire.

In his spiritual realm, Ying Ying watched as he dragged the headless body of the Flame Crow to the crack in the rune wall. Curiously, she flew to his side and asked, "Su Scholar, are you planning to feed the gods and demons with the flesh of the Flame Crow?"

Su Yun nodded with a spiritual smile and said, "In this continent beyond the sky, there is no law and order. With gods and demons rampant, this place is a natural burial ground. I cannot afford to be unprepared."

Ying Ying shivered at the mention of the words "burial ground" and her voice trembled as she laughed, "The burial ground is caused by humans with demonic ambitions, not because of gods and demons..."

"No need for gods and demons. Ambition is the true demon."Su Yun tried to stuff Fei Lian's body into the crack and said, "The forces that entered this place include the main war faction of the Great Qin New School, the descending god faction of the Divine Emperor Heavenly Court, the demon gods, and the two major forces of the Tongtian Pavilion both inside and outside the sea."

He chuckled, "There are also two young pavilion masters."

Ying Ying helped him push Fei Lian's body into the crack and was startled by his words. She exclaimed, "Are you saying that the Little Holy Emperor of the Great Qin is a female emperor?"

"It's very possible, she didn't deny it."

Finally, the two of them pushed Fei Lian's body behind the crack. Su Yun shouted loudly, "I, Su Yun, offer Fei Lian's body as a sacrifice to the gods!"

"Hmph."

A gloomy voice came from the darkness, "The boss is quite filial."

After a while, the sound of chewing came from the darkness.

Ying Ying shivered and ran back along the way. Su Yun followed behind and said, "With the factions of the Holy Emperor, the main war faction, the descending god faction, the demon god faction, and the factions of the Tongtian Pavilion both inside and outside the sea, the forces in the Tianwai Continent are so complex that they can ignite a war without the need for humans and demons. Moreover, the Great Demon God is originally an adult human and demon. The human heart is more complicated than Master Yue Liuxi thought, especially in desperate situations..."

Ahead, the sea of fire came to an end.

Just as Su Yun walked out of the sea of fire, he saw stars flying in the sky like rain, heading towards the outer sky. They were small celestial ships.

There wasn't much air in the small celestial ships, so even if they rushed out of the outer sky, they wouldn't be able to fly far before running out of air and suffocating in space.

"We can't save them."

Su Yun shook his head. Suddenly, there was a wave of divine power fluctuations in front of him, and someone shouted, "Fu Yunshan, we are all fellow students of the Sword Pavilion, why are you attacking us?"

"The celestial ships have crashed, destroying so many small ships. There are still many scholars left, but there are not many ships left! Whoever owns a ship can survive and leave!"

"Senior Fu, we are in the same boat. Let's make a few more ships! Why do you have to kill us?"

...

Su Yun arrived at the place where the divine power erupted and saw two groups of scholars fighting. The divine power of the Sword Pavilion was extremely exquisite, and the power of their spiritual weapons was top-notch. The dozen or so scholars fought fiercely, every move fatal. Several scholars' bodies lay on the ground, and there were two small celestial ships.

One of them made Su Yun stunned.

That person was Fu Yunshan, the senior brother mentioned by the other scholars, and he was also the one Su Yun had seen in the chaos of the celestial ship. He was the one who shouted loudly, commanding many scholars to remain calm and dismantling the cabin of the celestial ship for escape!

At that time, Su Yun admired this person's talent, but he didn't expect to see him here, leading the massacre of other scholars and seizing the small celestial ships!

"We don't have time to make more celestial ships!"

Fu Yunshan went mad and killed his fellow students. He said coldly, "There are three demon gods in this continent! The longer we stay here, the higher the chance of being eaten by the demon gods! Make more celestial ships? It's impossible! By the time you make them, we will have been eaten up!"

He killed a fellow student and said fiercely, "Even the saints are dead! If you want to survive, you can only escape from here before the demon gods kill us all!"

He joined forces with several other scholars, killed the other scholars, and seized two small celestial ships. They quickly said, "Put the cabin into the small ship. The air in the cabin is enough to let us return to the Great Qin alive!"

One of the scholars suddenly said, "Is the air really enough? Our mana may be exhausted, so we need to rest on the way. It's possible that the time we spend on the road will be longer than we think..."

Fu Yunshan's face darkened, and he didn't say a word.

They were about to activate the two small celestial ships when they suddenly saw Su Yun approaching. They couldn't help but become nervous and activated their spiritual weapons, guarding the two small ships.

Su Yun stopped and said, "Scholar Fu, Master Yue left behind the Spirit Realm, which can protect all scholars and ensure their safe return to the Great Qin. You can go to the other half of the crash site, and we will meet there."

The other scholars looked at Fu Yunshan one after another, hesitating.

Fu Yunshan looked cautious, wiped away the bloodstains on his face, and smiled, "No need! The other half of the celestial ship has already been taken by the scholars. If we go there, are we giving it to the demon gods to eat? Mr. Su, the pavilion master is dead, and we each have our own way of survival. We won't interfere with each other. What do you think?"

Su Yun frowned slightly and turned away.

Fu Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Let's go! Hurry!"

The two small celestial ships took off and flew towards the outer sky. Suddenly, a huge head flew from the sky and with a snap, bit off nearly half of one of the small ships. Only two feet were left of the two scholars on the ship.

The other two scholars saw this and exclaimed in horror. They quickly flew out of the ship, but the head of the Fei Lian caught up with them and swallowed them whole, skin and all.

Fu Yunshan and the other three people were on the other ship, and they frantically activated the small ship and flew away.

The Fei Lian demon god was left with only its head, which had wings growing behind it. The wings were about four or five zhang long, and when spread out, they were nine zhang long. It chased after the small celestial ship that Fu Yunshan was on for a while but failed to catch up.

So, the big head turned back and said, "Only a few can escape. The big head is still here."

"Fei Lian is not dead!"

Su Yun hurriedly hid in the shadow of a rock and thought, "The world's vitality is not extinguished, and the gods and demons are not dead. Is the only way to kill the demon god to suppress it like Brother Ying Long and slowly sacrifice it?"

Fei Lian flapped its wings and flew over the forest where Su Yun was hiding. Suddenly, it turned back and landed on the rock where Su Yun was hiding.

The voice of the demon god sounded like an owl, "Master Yue Liuxi is dead! This old man cut off my head, scared me into fleeing, but didn't expect to exhaust myself to death. So, which little bitch stole my body? I smell your scent..."Suddenly, Feilian's massive head dangled down from above the rocks, hanging upside down in front of Su Yun. It opened its beak and squawked harshly, "Scare!"

Without a second thought, Su Yun transformed the dust-filled sky into smoke that drilled into the bird's beak. At the same time, a golden rope shot out, binding the massive head tightly!

In his hand appeared the wooden box that was the key to the Tongtian Pavilion. The box transformed into an immortal sword, which he thrust into Feilian's left eye!
