Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 272: The breath of the devil

Views:

Back then, when Pixiu had not yet served as a mount under the Holy Emperor, it lived a very happy and carefree life. However, ever since it met Yinglong, the muscle-minded god and demon, its situation has become somewhat miserable.

He was humiliated by Yinglong many times, and was beaten miserably every time he resisted. He was finally beaten into submission and had to submit to the Holy Emperor and ride on the Holy Emperor's mount.

There was no war in the country, and the Holy Emperor went on an expedition overseas. He took the opportunity to slip away. Coincidentally, a group of Yuanshuo spiritualists established Tongtian Pavilion in order to explore the truth of this world. Pixiu then sneaked into Tongtian Pavilion and took charge of its wealth.

He was unable to return to the fairyland, and in the years that followed, he gradually gave up the idea of returning to the fairyland, and honestly guarded the wealth for Tongtian Pavilion.

Over the years, the gods and demons gradually disappeared and eventually fell silent. Pixiu had not heard any news about other gods and demons for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw the shadow of Yinglong in Su Yun!

"This bastard, is he still alive?"

The demonic Pixiu scratched his butt, which bounced up and down, and said in his heart with vigilance: "The old man is very cruel, but I am hiding here, he will definitely not be able to find me..."

"I don't want to eat it, thank you." The demon Pi Xiu took out a tender bamboo shoot from somewhere and put it to Su Yun's mouth, but Su Yun quickly refused.

The Pixiu demon god gnawed off the outer shell of the bamboo shoots while pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Baby... Pavilion Master, do you know a bird dragon with wings? It's the one that always strikes all kinds of poses to show off its muscles to people, and then beats you down and still wants to show off its muscles."

Su Yun was surprised and asked, "Brother, do you know Brother Yinglong?"

"I don't know him." Pixiu quickly denied it after poking the whole bamboo shoot into his mouth.

In his heart, he had already classified Su Yun as someone who should not be offended.

"Pavilion Master, do not be too arrogant. The Yuanshuo court is too arrogant and has been defeated in many battles by overseas countries."

Bu Qiurong advised Su Yun, saying, "In order to gain orthodoxy, the overseas Tongtian Pavilion selected the most outstanding young talents from various countries overseas. After many rounds of screening, the candidate for the Pavilion Master was decided. In order to divide up the wealth of the Tongtian Pavilion and occupy the position of orthodoxy, the leaders of various countries will definitely do their best to cultivate him. The most advanced and novel unique skills of the Great Qin and Great Xia countries will be taught to him. You can imagine his strength."

Su Yun said sternly: "Don't worry, I won't underestimate him. I am traveling overseas this time, first, to let the Tiandao Academy students study here, second, to resolve the dispute over the orthodoxy of Tongtian Pavilion, and third, to find my own path."

Bu Qiurong was originally worried that he was a little complacent, but she felt relieved after hearing him say that.

According to his observation, Su Yun is now somewhat different from the one he was in Shuofang Jiehui City years ago.

At that time, Su Yun was very humble and extremely cautious in his behavior. It can be said that he was bold and careful, and his words and actions were full of wisdom.

For some reason, Su Yun now seemed to have become a little arrogant, which made him feel a little uneasy.

He didn't know that during the time that Su Yun was separated from him, he was possessed by the three gods and demons, Taotie, Xiangliu and Yinglong, and his personality was subtly influenced by these three gods and demons.

Taotie is extremely vicious, cruel and bloodthirsty, Xiangliu is insidious, cunning, vicious and aggressive, and Yinglong is proud and arrogant, brave and fierce.

When these three gods and demons possessed Su Yun, they were all possessed by his spirits.

The soul is the spirit. The change in the form of Su Yun's soul means that Su Yun's spirit has changed, and he has also learned some of the cruelty, viciousness and arrogance of these three gods and demons.

In addition, Su Yun studied the three gods and demons, trying to explore the mysteries of the three gods and demons' physical bodies, so the impact was even deeper.

Fortunately, Su Yun has been practicing the ancient sages' unique skills since he was young, and his heart of Taoism is stable and his nature and spirit are pure. If it were a spiritual practitioner whose nature and heart of Taoism are not as good as his, he would probably have lost his mind and spirit long ago.

Even so, Su Yun would occasionally be influenced by the residual spirits of Yinglong, Taotie, and Xiangliu in his soul, and would behave arrogantly.

Bu Qiurong bid farewell to the Pixiu, led Su Yun out of the Pixiu Gate, took the two Pixiu lock rings, and said: "Pavilion Master, the Pixiu Gate is the headquarters of Tongtian Pavilion's wealth. If you are short of money, you don't need to use the headquarters' wealth. You can directly look for Tongtian Pavilion's money houses in various overseas locations."

He glanced at the various spiritual weapons and clothes that Su Yun had acquired with great fanfare, shook his head, and said, "Even the small amount of money in the bank is enough to buy the entire Sword Pavilion."

Su Yun felt a little ashamed.

"No matter what the name of the bank in Tongtian Pavilion is, there will be a Pixiu totem."

Bu Qiurong continued, "All the Pavilion Master needs to do is take out the key, and then he can mobilize the wealth of the bank. I will take my leave."

He walked out, but suddenly stopped, turned around, bowed and said, "Pavilion Master, many of my brothers and sisters in Yuanshuo Tongtian Pavilion are rushing overseas to fight for the orthodoxy at home and abroad. If you can't protect the orthodoxy of Yuanshuo, then the position of Pavilion Master will fall into the hands of foreigners, which is probably a disaster for Yuanshuo."

Su Yun bowed slightly, and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, I will never let the position of Tongtian Pavilion Master fall into foreign hands no matter what!"

Bu Qiurong hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "When the Pavilion Master made his move just now, I also watched from a distance. The Pavilion Master's cultivation strength has improved since Yuan Shuo. But there are probably more than ten people of the same age overseas who can keep up with the Pavilion Master."

Su Yun's eyebrows twitched and he asked, "More than ten people?"

Bu Qiurong nodded and said, "The elders in the pavilion will discuss. If... if the Pavilion Master loses this battle, then the Pavilion Master will split up the Tongtian Pavilion and start a new sect. The elders of Yuan Shuo will fully support the Pavilion Master. But if that happens, we will be traitors to the Tongtian Pavilion..."

Su Yun raised his eyebrows.

Bu Qiurong turned and left.

Su Yun felt heavy in his heart, and whispered: "How far have the overseas Taoist magic powers reached? How far has the overseas Pavilion Master's Taoist magic powers reached..."

Today, he faced the challenge of more than a hundred Sword Pavilion spiritualists.

The status of Jiange scholars in Daqin is equivalent to that of Tiandao Academy scholars in Yuanshuo. They are the leaders of the younger generation in Daqin, young geniuses, and the elite among scholars.

From these Sword Pavilion scholars, Su Yun did see skills and magical powers that surpassed Yuan Shuo's, and even their spiritual weapons were stronger than Yuan Shuo's.

What’s even more terrifying is that Su Yun encountered several extremely powerful and ruthless characters!

Among them, several spiritual masters opened up seventy-two caves!

What's worse, they even used the ultimate magical powers of gods and demons!

Su Yun possessed the "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon", and used it to study Yinglong, and also studied the demons such as Taotie and Xiangliu. But even so, he did not dare to say that he could definitely defeat these scholars from Jian Ge.

He relied on the deduction of the physical realm in Yue Liuxi's notes that Yingying found. He suddenly understood everything and his strength increased greatly, which enabled him to defeat the scholars of Jiange!

Su Yun even firmly believed that if he were to compete with Di Ping at the same level again, he would not need to rely on magic to make Di Ping's body unable to bear it.

His physical strength at this moment is enough to make the Immortal Sword to Slay the Demon Dragon burst out with even more powerful power, enough to crush Emperor Ping!

He even thought that the first move could determine the outcome!

However, Bu Qiurong told him that there were more than a dozen people of the same age overseas who could keep up with him!

"My greatest asset is that I have ninety-five older brothers sealed in my memory."

Su Yun took a long breath, calmed his mind, and continued to activate the Honglu Transmutation to strengthen his body. He thought to himself, "Yue Liuxi is a scholar from the Overseas Sword Pavilion. I don't know how far his physical realm has been developed. Among the more than ten people of the same age mentioned by Bu Qiurong, is he... "

At this time, Ye Luo, Xing Jiangmu and others returned to the embassy. Seeing the mountains of clothes and spiritual weapons, they looked at each other and confirmed their respective guesses.

Bai Yuelou and other scholars did not come back, but stayed and ate in Jiange.

"The Sword Pavilion Saint is the teacher of the current Great Qin Saint Emperor. This saint has a request. He wants to meet the eldest brother."

Ye Luo's eyes flickered, and he said, "Moreover, as a condition for Tiandao Academy students to study in Jiange, he also wants to ask the senior brother to teach in Jiange and teach the disciples of Jiange."

Su Yun understood what the Sword Pavilion Saint meant in an instant, and said with a smile: "It is probably because I defeated so many scholars that I alarmed him. But forget about teaching at the Sword Pavilion, my talent may not be enough for this. As for whether the Sword Pavilion will accept Tiandao Academy scholars, I am afraid the decision is not up to him. At worst, he can just buy the entire Sword Pavilion..."

Just as he said this, Xing Jiangmu's screams came from the second floor: "Where are the books I collected? How come the handwritten notes of the Sword Pavilion Saint disappeared?"

Su Yun was stunned: "Handwritten notes? What notes?"

"Even if it's that Yueyue Liuxi Notes!"

Xing Jiangmu poked his head out from the second floor and cried, "That was the greatest treasure I have accumulated in the past ten years as a junior historian! How could such a good book disappear in an instant?"

Yingying blinked, feeling a little guilty, and said nothing.

"Sword Pavilion Saint Yue Liuxi?"

Su Yun's mind was greatly shaken, his eyes gleamed, and he said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, I will go to meet this overseas saint!"

The next morning, Su Yun followed Xing Jiangmu out and headed towards Jiange. It was already noon, and clouds were floating above the streets in Yundu, moving like flowing water, which was very beautiful.

Yundu was built on fragments of Mars and has a very exotic feel. Some of the trees in the city are not even native to this planet. They look strange and have both animal and plant characteristics.

Some trees have roots and trunks underneath, but flesh and blood grow at the crowns, and many branches and leaves form complex animal heads with noses and eyes.

When Su Yun and his friends passed by, these strange trees that were half tree and half beast slowly turned their heads and looked at them, which was extremely weird.

After arriving at Jiange, there are more and more of these plants.

Su Yun looked up and saw that some buildings in Jiange were floating in the sky and never fell down.

Xing Jiangmu explained: "The magnetic field of Mars is abnormal. The magnetic field of some mountains is opposite to the magnetic field of our planet, so they can float in the air without falling. Some extremely talented people in Daqin discovered this, so they built buildings on some fragments of Mars so that the buildings can float in the air."

Su Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "It was because the spiritualists of the Great Qin discovered this that they developed the Yuanci magical power?"

At this moment, he was sensitive enough to notice that there was something wrong with the energy in Jiange. He hurriedly stopped and looked towards a suspended building in Jiange.

Xing Jiangmu asked in confusion: "Shao Shi, what's wrong?"

"Demon's Breath!"

Su Yun looked up, feeling uncertain and doubtful. He had been possessed by Taotie and Xiangliu, and was extremely sensitive to the aura of the devil. Even his own soul had a bit of the devil's aura, so he would definitely not be wrong.

There is indeed a demonic aura hidden in the building of Jiange, and it is restrained and profound!

"How could there be a demon god in Jian Ge? If that's the case..."

His heart sank. If that was the case, his advantage would not be that great. Because there was a demon god in the Sword Pavilion, the master of the Tongtian Pavilion overseas could also study the demon god.

He followed a cloud bridge and climbed up to the Sage Pavilion in Jiange.

Xing Jiangmu stepped forward to report. After a while, a young saint from the Saint Pavilion came forward, bowed and greeted him, and said with a smile: "Jian Pavilion Yue Liuxi, greetings to the Master of Tongtian Pavilion! I guess the Master has seen Yue's notes?"

Su Yun bowed in return: "I have benefited a lot from this!"

Yue Liuxi became excited and came closer, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes: "You succeeded? Really?"

He grabbed Su Yun's hand and almost stuck to Su Yun, who frowned slightly.

Yue Liuxi then realized his own misstep, took a step back, and said with a smile: "So, did Pavilion Master Su succeed?"

Su Yun was surprised and said, "I have only made a small progress. I dare not say whether I have succeeded in refining it. Didn't Pavilion Master Yue succeed in refining it?"
