Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 240 – Genius among devils

In the distant sky, a thin rope was spread flat in the sky. Su Yun sat on the rope and looked towards the Prime Minister's mansion.

The mansion was brightly lit.

Strangely, there was only one coffin in the mansion, and no one else.

Even more strangely, there were people everywhere on the streets around the Prime Minister's mansion, lurking in the shadows and listening for any movement.

Last night was already very strange, but tonight's strangeness was even greater.

"Xue Qingfu is here."

Su Yun's spirits lifted, whispering, "It can only be him."

Ying Ying crawled out from under his neck and peeked out.

"There are people in the sky too!" whispered Ying Ying.

Su Yun looked around and saw shadows flying in the sky, probably wings transformed by divine abilities. Many people in the capital could see the danger of tonight, so they were waiting for this battle.

But Xue Qingfu's arrival was unexpected by many.

"I wonder if Mr. Qiu Shuijing predicted that Xue Qingfu would participate in this battle."

Su Yun looked into the distance and saw strange shadows on the buildings, probably also experts from the capital. "Xue Qingfu and Wen Guanshan are in the same boat. If Wen Guanshan falls tonight, tomorrow night will be Xue Qingfu's turn. Therefore, Xue Qingfu must protect Wen Guanshan no matter what!"

Ying Ying didn't care about these things and said, "I sense human demons and twisted evil human nature."

Su Yun's heart moved and he searched around, finally seeing the girl Wu Tong.

She stood above a building, on the head of a dragon, holding onto its horns, with a red dress fluttering behind her.

In this dark night, everything was black, but the lights and her red dress shone with a different color.

Su Yun couldn't help but laugh.

She was a human demon, the most evil and demonic creature in the world. But why did he feel that she was the only one clean in this filthy place?

"Could it be that I am being bewitched by her?"

Su Yun shuddered. The legendary human demons were indeed good at bewitching people's hearts and confusing them. Every disaster and war that caused countless deaths and injuries in history had the trace of human demons behind it.

Whenever a human demon appeared, spiritualists became extremely nervous and tried to eliminate them immediately.

Was it because his Dao heart was not stable enough that he was unconsciously influenced by Wu Tong, this human demon?

He saw Wu Tong, and Wu Tong sensed him.

In the next moment, her red dress fluttered in front of Su Yun. Wu Tong walked on the golden immortal rope with bare feet, gripping the rope with her toes to avoid falling, and walked towards him.

"Su Scholar, Mr. Qiu Shuijing's demonic nature is very strong now."

Wu Tong walked over. "He has been contaminated by the filth of the capital. The demonized Qiu Shuijing will reveal an incredibly terrifying side tonight!"

Su Yun snorted, about to speak, when suddenly Ying Ying exclaimed, "Mr. Qiu Shuijing is here!"

Su Yun couldn't argue with her and looked towards the Prime Minister's mansion.

From his position, he could see almost everything below. The Prime Minister's mansion was even more brilliantly lit, and everything was clear.Su Yun looked down from above and saw Mr. Shuijing walking towards him from the other end of the street, dressed in a green robe and holding a paper umbrella in one hand, with the other hand empty. There was nothing covering his face except for the shadow of the umbrella, which obscured everything above his lips.

But anyone could tell from his demeanor that he was Qiu Shuijing, one of the three officials of the current dynasty.

In the darkness on both sides of the street, the experts held their breath and dared not make any move. Although they were hiding in the dark, they could not hide from Qiu Shuijing's sharp senses or from the other people hiding in the darkness.

"This is the capital!" Su Yun watched the scene and suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. "A terrible place! In this city full of power and ambition, it's not a secret assassination, but an open and legitimate murder!"

This absurd and bizarre situation made him feel a sense of sadness. He used to be blind, but his heart was clear, while these experts and aristocratic families in the capital, who clearly had good eyesight, pretended to be blind!

"Is Mr. Shuijing's reform really effective? Can it really save this country?" He suddenly had a strong emotion, a doubt, whether Qiu Shuijing really had the ability to turn the tide and save the collapsing country.

"But Mr. Shuijing is right. He is the only one in this era who can produce a charter to save the country. The Left Minister can't do it, the Saint Xue can't do it, and the Prime Minister Wen's approach is just nonsense."

Su Yun calmed down and silently asked himself, "If Mr. Shuijing's reform cannot change the situation, then what is my path? What is my way?"

"Mr. Shuijing has entered!" Ying Ying said.

Su Yun looked down and saw Qiu Shuijing push open the door of the courtyard and close it behind him. He walked towards the spiritual hall where Wen Guanshan's coffin was located as if he were at his own home.

Su Yun's heart tightened, although he knew that Qiu Shuijing was extremely powerful, the one guarding Wen Guanshan's coffin was still Saint Xue from the Xue Mansion, and Han Jun, who was one of the three saints and the final winner of the Zongling Tomb case!

.

Although Ying Ying told him that Saint Xue was also seriously injured, even if he was seriously injured, he was still an original Dao saint who was unfathomable. Qiu Shuijing's realm was only at the level of "Zheng Sheng," which was to verify the skills of the saints, and to open up his own skills. Would he be Saint Xue's opponent?

"Moreover, Wen Guanshan may not be dead yet!" Su Yun's breathing became a little rapid.

"Teacher." Qiu Shuijing came to the front of the spiritual hall, put away his umbrella, and bowed respectfully to Saint Xue.

Saint Xue looked up, and Ying Ying was able to see his face clearly. She exclaimed, "It's Xue Jinchao! The Tai Chang of the Ai Emperor era!"

Su Yun glanced down and saw that Saint Xue's face was not that of Saint Xue, but that of the second generation Dao saint of the Xue family, Xue Jinchao.

In the Tian Dao Academy, there was a sculpture of Xue Jinchao.

"He doesn't use his own face, not only because he doesn't want others to see the face of Saint Xue, but also because Saint Xue's injuries are too serious." Su Yun had a terrible thought in his heart. "Wearing Xue Jinchao's face may reduce his injuries. That face should be his spiritual weapon, or even a body, a spiritual body, like a refined spiritual weapon!"Ying Ying learned from the conversation between Di Ping and Qiu Shuijing that Xue Qingfu, Wen Guanshan, Dao Saint, and Holy Buddha were all seriously injured and Xue Qingfu probably didn't have much strength left.

Therefore, this was a great opportunity to eliminate all political enemies and promote his own reform!

But if Xue Qingfu's spiritual weapon was those masks, then Xue Qingfu's physical injuries would heal, leaving only spiritual injuries!

In this case, Xue Qingfu would actually be the strongest!

"Good disciple."

Xue Qingfu smiled, "I didn't teach you in the Tian Dao Academy for nothing. You used to have the tenderness of a woman and couldn't bear to kill. That's not what a real man does. But tonight, you have greatly impressed me. What do you think are your chances of defeating me?"

"I once told His Majesty that I had a 60% chance of defeating my teacher, but since you came first, it's 90%," Qiu Shuijing said calmly.

"Teacher, you don't know that I have thoroughly studied the Xue family's second saint's techniques, and when you attacked in Shuofang, you revealed your cultivation and divine abilities. Your three-saint body has no secrets to me. In addition, a few days ago, Su Shao Shi publicly revealed the True Dragon Sixteen Chapters that you relied on for longevity. Although it's only been a short time, I've seen many flaws in it," Qiu Shuijing concluded.

Xue Qingfu's face gradually sank, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"In addition, even if your strength is only 60%, with Wen Guanshan, you still have the upper hand," Qiu Shuijing said.

He looked around, searching for Di Ping's whereabouts, and said leisurely, "Your Majesty is also here, right? With just you alone, you are not enough to challenge me and Wen Guanshan. This time, Your Majesty will definitely take action, but his cultivation is only at the verge of the Holy level, and even if he uses immortal techniques, he cannot kill me and Wen Guanshan!"

Qiu Shuijing shook his head, "Teacher's prediction is wrong. Your Majesty is not here, but in the palace."

Xue Qingfu was stunned, his eyes full of suspicion, "In the palace?"

Qiu Shuijing nodded, "I arranged for Your Majesty to wait for someone in the palace."

"Wait for someone?"

Xue Qingfu's voice was a little hoarse, "Who is he waiting for?"

"Your Majesty is waiting for the person in the coffin," Qiu Shuijing said calmly, "During the day, I stabbed the coffin with a sword and found that there was a dead person inside. The real Wen Guanshan has already shed his skin. You thought you were working with him, but he left you here to die while he went to kill the emperor. And all of this..."

Xue Qingfu's face changed drastically, and he suddenly turned around, drew out a treasure sword from the coffin, and split the coffin with a sword!

A corpse lay there in the coffin, it was Wen Guanshan's body!

But this body was completely lifeless!

"All under my control!"

Qiu Shuijing's voice came with endless indifference, "Teacher, I have learned better than you!"

Beside Su Yun, Wu Tong exclaimed, "Qiu Shuijing is a genius, even if he falls into devilry, he is still a genius among devils!"
