Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 161: The death of the team leader

Views:

Su Yun heard compliments and praises about how wise his actions tonight were. The country boy had never encountered such a thing before.

Who among those present is not a high and mighty ruler? They have countless people working for them, spiritualists obeying their orders, and countless wealth being mobilized by them.

When such people compliment you, who can keep a normal state of mind? Who can ensure that their mood will not be affected

Is the judgment made in this situation calm enough

Su Yun had a smile on his face, but he turned a deaf ear to everyone's compliments and praises, and did not respond at all.

He is like a deaf, blind and dumb person, quietly sticking to his own heart.

Suddenly, the half-demon General Li came over, and Su Yun quickly stood up and said, "Old General."

This was the first time he spoke after entering here, mainly because the half-demon General Li was truly respectable and might be the most selfless person of their generation.

General Li thanked him and said, "If it weren't for the envoy who risked his life to rescue Emperor Wenchang, we would have committed a great sin and been turned into ashes by the heavenly calamity. Even if we died a thousand times, it would be difficult to atone for our sins."

Su Yun bowed and said, "It was just a coincidence, not to mention it's part of my job. You don't have to do this, old general."

"Envoy Su is being modest."

General Li straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Although Emperor Wenchang helped us suppress the evil, it only temporarily relieved the urgent need. How long can our righteous spirit last under the evil of Shuofang City? The day we stay in Shuofang, the day Shuofang is in danger. Now the only way to save Shuofang is for us to leave."

Everyone present frowned, but they also knew that they had to leave Shuofang City, otherwise Shuofang would inevitably be in danger!

The people in Shuofang City are in turmoil, and the evil nature in their hearts is growing, which helps to boost the power of half-demons like General Li, and also brings great danger.

If these ancestors lose control again, there will be no need for the seven great families to take action. Just these few human demons will be enough to tear down most of Shuofang City!

The power of their side is bound to be greatly damaged, and they will die in the internal strife, and will no longer be able to stop the seven major families!

They might even be branded as traitors and used as guns by the seven great families!

However, after the departure of several half-demon ancestors, the strength of their side was greatly damaged, and they might be unable to cope with the seven major families.

"Tong Qingyun is an expert."

Suddenly, Xue Qingfu sighed and broke the silence, saying, "This man stirred up trouble, stirred up Shuofang City, fostered evil in people's hearts, and disintegrated our alliance. This move is extremely clever. Qiu Taichang, how did you fight with this man? How was the outcome?"

Qiu Shuijing said: "His cultivation strength is extremely high and unfathomable. But I am a little confused as to how he allowed his evil nature to grow."

Xue Qingfu turned sideways and asked, "If we didn't have a few ancestors, would we be a match for the seven great families?"

Qiu Shuijing was silent for a moment, then said, "The chances of winning are very low. But if we leave a few seniors behind, the chances of winning will be zero."

Xue Qingfu frowned.

"Several of our ancestors are half-demons. Instead of staying here and letting their demonic nature run wild, it is better for them to head outside the Great Wall and block the foreign races from entering the border."

Qiu Shuijing's voice was calm, but it was clearly heard by everyone: "If the ancestors can stop the alien army outside the border, then we will be less likely to be attacked from all sides and can concentrate on fighting the seven great families. Otherwise, if the aliens come to attack, we will be attacked from all sides, and several ancestors may turn into demons at any time, so we have no chance of winning!"

General Li smiled and said, "Mr. Shuijing has seen through it. Lord, you go and tell them the news you got yesterday."

Everyone looked at the Marquis of Shuofang, who had no choice but to stand up and said in a hoarse voice, "I got news yesterday that the army of the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall has begun to march towards the border. Their Khan led 50,000 spiritual warriors and led the army to fight in person. Since yesterday, there is no Zhulong chariot from Yangcheng to Shuofang anymore."

Everyone's heart sank.

"The Khan has detained twelve Zhulongs. Each of these twelve Zhulongs can transport up to three thousand soldiers."

Shuofang Hou said: "In just one day, the Khan's army can cross the numerous natural barriers, pass through Tianshiyuan, defeat the fortresses along the way, and arrive in Shuofang!"

General Li suddenly stood up and laughed, "We are all dead. If this trip can leave some hope for Shuofang, then we are willing to go!"

The half-demon ancestors of the Lu, Peng, and Ye families also stood up and said with a smile, "That's exactly the truth. Instead of turning into demon kings and slaughtering the people of Shuofang, it's better to die on the battlefield."

"Back then, we killed so many alien races that they were terrified. Even after death, we turned into demons. We killed tens of thousands of them and they didn't dare to set foot in Shuobei for three hundred years!"

General Li drew his Spiritual Spear and laughed, "Wearing armor, not burying the body, not storing the soldiers, isn't it all for this day?"

The half-demon ancestors also drew their spiritual weapons and bowed, saying, "Quantai old men, wait for the general's orders!"

Shuofang Hou knelt down and choked up, saying: "Farewell, Old Ancestor!"

The children of the Li family, the Ye family, the Peng family and other noble families all knelt down and bowed: "Farewell, Old Ancestor!"

"Get up. No need to act like a child."

General Li turned around, his tattered cape fluttering in the wind. "We were supposed to die a long time ago, but we stole our lives from the heavens and lived for hundreds of years. Now, it's time to give our lives back to the heavens! Envoy Su!"

His eyes fell on Su Yun, his demonic energy turbulent, and he said with a smile: "Envoy Su, can you give us a ride?"

Su Yun was slightly startled and said, "My disciple's skills are low, I'm afraid I can't keep up with the generals."

"No problem."

Half-demon General Li smiled and said, "We can talk while we walk."

Demonic energy was surging around him and his figure was floating in the air. Su Yun suddenly felt his body lighten and he involuntarily stood on the demonic energy.

General Li took a step forward, with a demonic aura like a cloud, holding up Qin Mu and following him closely.

The half-demon ancestors flew into the air, following closely behind. Shuofang Hou and others looked up, only to see Su Yun, General Li and others disappear into the night.

The book monster Yingying quietly raised her head from Su Yun's shoulder and looked at these half-demons. She saw that the bodies of General Li and others looked like cast steel, and looked extremely hideous.

There were strange patterns on their bodies, and it was unclear whether they were wounds caused by swords or the marks of magical runes.

"At the end of their lives, they dedicated themselves to the devil's way in exchange for terrible power."

Yingying, the book monster, thought to herself, “These half-demons are worth recording. How they can still maintain their sanity after becoming half-demons is also worth studying.”

Suddenly, the half-demon General Li asked, "Young Master Su, are you from Tianmen Town?"

Su Yun was stunned. General Li, the half-demon, smiled and said, "I know you are not the envoy. Although we are the dead, we often pay attention to Tianshiyuan and observe the movements there. The changes in Tianshiyuan over the past few hundred years have never been hidden from our eyes."

Su Yun said calmly with a smile: "I am indeed not an envoy. I am from Tianmen Town. I don't know how it happened. After I walked out of Tianshiyuan, I became an envoy without knowing why."

General Li, the half-demon, smiled and said, "Perhaps, it was not the emperor who chose you to be the envoy, but it must be the current situation in Shuofang that chose you."

Su Yun thought about it and felt that what he said did make some sense.

There are undercurrents in Shuofang City, demonic nature is growing, human-demons are arriving, and various forces are suspicious of each other. Su Yun's rash entry into Shuofang at this time is indeed easy to be misunderstood.

"Since the situation has chosen you, then you are the envoy."

The corpse qi and demonic qi mixed together on the body of the half-demon General Li, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling. He said, "Shuofang City needs an envoy who is capable and responsible. Ye Luo of the old Ye family is sneaky and irresponsible, so he is not suitable."

The old general of the Ye family laughed and said, "That kid only wants to pick up the leaks and has no courage. I can't stand it."

The other half-demon ancestors laughed.

General Li, the half-demon, said: "Since Shuofang has chosen the envoy, the envoy must not let Shuofang down!"

Su Yun was solemn.

General Li, the half-demon, looked forward with a gaze as dim as a ghost fire, and said, "We are standing at the highest point of Shuofang City, monitoring the surrounding movements. Many changes over the past few hundred years cannot be hidden from us. I still remember that one hundred and fifty years ago..."

He seemed to be trapped in ancient memories, and the dusty memories gradually became vivid.

There was heavy snow, it was a terrible snowstorm, there was ice and snow everywhere, the heavy snow crushed the trees and collapsed the houses, what was even more terrible was the famine caused by the snowstorm.

Although the half-demon General Li and others saw all this, they were powerless to do anything because they were half-demons and could not conjure up food out of thin air.

There were also people who starved to death from the Li family, the Ye family and other aristocratic families. At that time, Marquis Shuofang even fled with his family, looking for food everywhere, and left the coffin of the half-demon General Li at home.

Half-demon General Li was locked in a black iron coffin. He saw many strange things. People who starved to death in the snowstorm were everywhere, but there were seven people who became rich and powerful, with rosy faces.

"These seven people later became the old immortals of the seven great families."

General Li stopped, his eyes flickering, and said, "They plundered fertile farmland, traded slaves, and the Lin family even used the grain for disaster relief to buy land. One day, they met a scarred young man who walked out of Tianshiyuan..."

The young man was covered in wounds and fainted on the roadside. Someone stripped him of his clothes to exchange for money, and a token on his body caught Tong Qingyun's attention.

"But the matter involved too much, so he didn't dare to do it, so he found the other six people."

General Half-Demon Li said, "At that time, Tong Qingyun occupied the mansion of my Li family. They hung the young man up in front of me, pierced his scapula, destroyed his cultivation, trapped his spirit, and tortured him in every way."

"The boy was soon tortured beyond recognition. I heard them talking about one thing..."

General Li, the half-demon, said, "They were talking about the cause of this snowstorm, the battle between the human demons and the real dragons. Tong Qingyun said that he was an envoy sent by the Emperor to monitor Zi Gelong, a scholar of the Tiandao Academy. Among the seven of them, there was another person who was also an envoy of the Emperor."

Su Yun's heart was shaken, and he understood what he was going to say.

The book monster Yingying was so excited that she grabbed the corner of her skirt and wrinkled the pages of her book.

"Tong Qingyun said that they could obtain the secret of Gelong from this young man and keep it for themselves. They could achieve immortality because of it. How evil these seven people are—"

General Li, the half-demon, said slowly, "They all wanted to get the secret of Gelong alone, but they were afraid of being reported, so the seven of them had to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep together. But Tong Qingyun still seized the opportunity, sneaked out, and went to meet the young man alone."

He laughed and said, "After I saw Tong Qingyun slip out, the second person also slipped out. Everyone had their own ulterior motives, and each got what they wanted from the dying boy. They decided to execute the boy and keep the secret to themselves."

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat and he asked in a lost voice, "Are they going to kill our team leader?"

General Half-Demon Li was surprised and said, "You called that young leader the student brother? Yes, he is indeed the leader of Tiandaoyuan Gelong. But they did not kill the leader. When they went to see the young man, they found that he was already dead."

Su Yun's head buzzed, and he felt both excited and disappointed.

The team leader is dead

The wise man who fought the human demon to death and imprisoned the spirits of the human demon and the dragon, died at the hands of seven unknown minions

Are there such incredible and bizarre things in the world

"The seven of them put the body down, and just when they were discussing how to deal with it, the body inexplicably disappeared." said Half-Demon General Li.
