Everyone's eyes were fixed on the black iron bell, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
From Su Yun offering sacrifices to the bell, to the Blood Demon Patriarch rushing out of the golden coffin to grab the treasure, killing everyone and running away, to the Blood Demon Patriarch being attacked by the Evil Emperor, Di Feng, Di Shu and others, being beaten back to the imperial court, and returning to the imperial capital, it all seemed like a dream.
This scene was like the process of Blood Demon Patriarch snatching the treasure, rehearsed in reverse, as if Blood Demon Patriarch had specially sent the Black Iron Bell from outer space to Su Yun's hands.
Previously they were in an extremely dangerous situation and could die at any time, but now, the Blood Demon Patriarch was seriously injured and escaped. This series of changes was like a dream!
Suddenly, someone cheered, "The catastrophe is over! The catastrophe is over!"
Everyone then came to their senses: the calamity of the precious Black Iron Bell was really over!
They were both surprised and delighted. To refine a supreme treasure would inevitably bring disaster. They coped with this disaster very well. Not only were there many masters, but also four supreme treasures: a large gold chain, a golden coffin, the first sword formation and the witch fairy treasure tree!
Even so, they failed to keep the Black Iron Bell. Everyone was naturally disappointed that the bell was taken away. But they were overjoyed when the Black Iron Bell was recovered soon after.
The Queen of Heaven, Yue Zhaoquan and others were observing the sky, and saw that the giant who threw the Wanhua Burning Immortal Furnace was Emperor Shu. Emperor Shu took back the Burning Immortal Furnace and still used this treasure as his head. Emperor Feng also took back the sword pill, and the Evil Emperor disappeared without a trace.
These major existences seemed to have never appeared from beginning to end.
They were wary of each other, fearing that the other party would seize the opportunity to attack them. And if they tried to seize the Black Iron Bell, it would undoubtedly give the other party the opportunity to join forces with others to attack them!
Yue Zhaoquan, Xishan Sanren and others all breathed a sigh of relief. The Evil Emperor, Di Shu and others had disappeared, which meant that the treasure had survived its catastrophe. Su Yun had finally obtained the treasure.
At this time, Lingji suddenly said loudly: "The Holy Emperor used a clever plan to survive this disaster of the most precious treasure. His civil and military skills were well thought out!"
Su Yun was stunned by what he said, and shook his head and said, "Ling Ji, you misunderstood. I just took a step ahead of the Blood Demon Patriarch and imprinted my innate Qi on the Black Iron Bell, and took control of the Black Iron Bell first. He can't refine my innate Qi, and he can't devour me..."
Before he could explain clearly, someone suddenly shouted: "Emperor Su is a man of great ability in both civil and military affairs, and he has made every possible plan!"
Scattered voices rang out from all around, and gradually, more and more people responded, and countless voices turned into a torrent, with countless people shouting: "Emperor Su is a man of great literary and military skills, and he has made every possible effort!"
The sound was deafening and inspiring.
Su Yun opened his mouth and was about to tell the truth. He was not the man they thought he was. He was swallowed by the Blood Demon Patriarch from the beginning of this treasure disaster. If Yingying had not rescued him in time, he would have been buried in the Blood Demon Patriarch's belly.
However, his voice seemed so insignificant amid the shouts of the people.
People saw a miracle, a miracle of winning without any loss despite being impossible, a miracle of recovering what was lost.
They need such a miracle, such a story, to inspire people with this miracle and story on the eve of the crisis!
Even the spiritualists and immortals in the imperial capital were inspired by this miracle and story. They poured out of the city, chanting Su Yun's name and joining the torrent of shouting.
Su Yun also planned to explain to the enthusiastic people how he walked out of the Blood Demon Master's belly alive without any mana support, how many dangers and hardships he experienced along the way, and how he almost died in there.
But no one listened. They sang and danced around Su Yun, praising the wisdom and bravery of his decision and making his story a myth.
In their story, Su Yun was a master strategist who had already figured out the fate of the treasure, so he secretly arranged for the Blood Demon Patriarch to protect himself and the Black Iron Bell from the disaster.
He calculated everything, and used the desire of the Evil Emperor, Di Feng and Di Shu to severely injure the Blood Demon Patriarch, and escaped safely. Moreover, the Evil Emperor Di Feng and Di Shu and others had to retreat because they were wary of each other. Therefore, Su Yun calmly resolved the crisis.
Su Yun wanted to tell them that he did not design these.
He wanted to tell these people that he was able to take back the Black Iron Bell from the Blood Demon Patriarch simply because he designed the bell himself and was familiar with every structure of the Black Iron Bell.
His innate Qi is most compatible with the Black Iron Bell, and he took action in advance, so he was able to master the Black Iron Bell before the Blood Demon Master.
But people will not listen to his story, people have their own stories in their hearts. The Su Yun in this story is wise and powerful, and he has a plan. He took advantage of the greed of the Blood Demon Master, the Evil Emperor and others to refine treasures for himself.
Before Su Yun could explain, he was lifted up and held high by the swarming crowd.
The cheering crowd surged like a torrent, carrying him through the imperial capital, allowing more people to hear his story and join this torrent.
The torrent surrounded him like waves, pushing him higher and higher, as if trying to push him to the position of the Immortal Emperor of the Seventh Immortal Realm.
People sent him to Ganquan Garden and to a high platform. Su Yun just raised his hand, and the people below burst into excited cheers.
"Sir, don't explain."
On his shoulder, Yingying was injured and panting. She lowered her voice and said, "They won't listen. They want to give themselves courage. Your inexplicable victory this time gave them courage. Not everyone has the courage like you to face the Immortal Court. They need to be inspired. You are that role model."
Su Yun looked at the excited people below the balcony and murmured, "But, all this that inspired them is not true."
"What does it matter?"
Yingying whispered, "Look, as they chant, the Black Iron Bell is also absorbing their chanting, and it's gradually becoming spiritual."
Su Yun looked up, and the black iron bell was quietly suspended above people's heads, as cold as old iron that had been polished to a metallic luster.
He raised his palm and touched the big bell. When his fingertips touched the black iron bell, the rings of the black iron bell immediately started to move. Countless gears inside the bell turned, and the days and months passed in a flash!
On the surface of the clock, runes gradually became clearer, gods and demons emerged one by one from the scales inside the clock, and all kinds of Taoist magic powers were imprinted on the clock as if Su Yun himself had performed them.
People who look up can see the inner wall of the clock, where the sun, moon, stars and rivers are constantly emerging, gradually forming a magnificent map of the universe!
People's cheers became louder, and at this moment, Su Yun truly felt the thoughts of all living beings.
The powerful belief contained in the cheers of the people was surging towards themselves and Xuan Tie Zhong. They gave this belief to Su Yun and Xuan Tie Zhong, and placed their desire for victory on them!
This belief gathered and deepened, gradually forming the spirit within the black iron bell!
Su Yun didn’t know how the spirits of other treasures were born, but he witnessed that his own treasure was gradually giving birth to its own unique spirit!
At the same time, he felt an inexplicable pressure. This was the expectations of all living beings on him. It became a burden that pressed on him, making him panic and even want to abandon everything and run away!
Yet he still stood on the balcony.
The people below were like a surging sea of clouds. Someone in the crowd shouted the slogan of Emperor Yunxian, and the surging sea of people suddenly turned into a single voice.
They were calling for someone from the Cloud Immortal Emperor, calling on this person to turn the tide and save the Seventh Immortal Realm from danger.
Su Yun looked at the sea of people surging below the balcony. He did not move forward. It was the vast ocean of people that pushed him forward, pushing him to climb one almost impossible peak after another.
"I just want to do something for the Seventh Immortal Realm. I don't want to disappoint you."
The confusion in Su Yun's eyes disappeared, he raised his hand and clapped the black iron bell.
"Bang—"
The melodious and stirring bell sounds spread throughout the imperial court along with the people's shouts.
Yue Zhaoquan, Xishan Sanren and other six elders watched this scene from afar. Each of them had a different expression and each had his own thoughts.
"Fisherman, do you really believe that all this was arranged by Emperor Su?"
Li Shangxue couldn't help but say, "Although I admire Su Sheng Huang very much, I absolutely don't believe that he arranged all this! It's impossible for him to have planned everything out, even including Emperor Shu, the Evil Emperor, and Emperor Feng. It's even more impossible for him to have even included the Blood Demon Patriarch who has not yet been born!"
Yue Zhaoquan hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
Suddenly, Xishan Sanren said, "I believe it was his plan! No one in the world can calculate so accurately, except him!"
Gong Xilou frowned and sneered, "Wu Xishan, what's wrong with you? You wanted to expose Emperor Su's true colors before, but now no matter what he does, you think he has a hidden agenda! You're out of your mind!"
Xishan Sanren obviously believed in Su Yun blindly and said, "Saint Emperor Su will never make mistakes. We just need to trust him and follow him."
The other five elders frowned, even Yue Zhaoquan frowned.
Jun Zaijiu said, "Our goal was to persuade Emperor Su to put down his weapons, practice with us, and save the world. But now everything has deviated from our original intention. Emperor Su has been worshipped as the emperor and is called Emperor Yunxian. A disaster is inevitable. What about our original intention?"
Immortal Lu said: "Our original intention was to save the world. If Emperor Su declares himself emperor, we should kill him, surrender to the Immortal Court, and put an end to the war."
After these words were spoken, Li Shangxue and Yue Zhaoquan both hesitated.
"It's not a good idea to do this, right?" Jun Zaijiu hesitated. "Although our goal is to save the world, I don't know why I feel that if Emperor Su becomes the Immortal Emperor, he might do better than Emperor Feng and Emperor Jue. If we kill him..."
Immortal Lu said very seriously, "What is our original intention? An old immortal who has lived through the immortal world for generations, is what he says just bullshit?"
Jun Zaijiu was furious: "I didn't say I wouldn't kill him! If he becomes emperor, it will definitely trigger a full-scale confrontation between the Sixth and Seventh Immortal Realms. If I don't kill him, it will be a catastrophe!"
Immortal Lu nodded and said, "I will go kill him tonight, you come with me."
Jun Zaijiu hesitated and looked at the others.
Yue Zhaoquan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I think everything in the world is either black or white, and I always want to use black and white to determine good and bad. I can't judge whether the matter of Emperor Su is good or bad. I will not intervene anymore, and I will just be a fisherman."
He turned and left.
Li Shangxue hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed him and said, "I'll go with you. I heard that you fishermen never come back empty-handed, right? I heard that if you can't catch any fish, you dig up some vegetables, and if there's no vegetables, you steal a chicken, or else you carry a pig away..."
Immortal Lu looked at Gong Xilou and Xishan Sanren. Gong Xilou pondered for a moment and said, "I have been with Emperor Su for several years. I was attracted by his personality and forgot my original intention. Today, Immortal Lu reminded me and I was enlightened. Tonight, I will go with you two to kill him and solve this catastrophe."
Immortal Lu looked towards Xishan Sanren.
Xishan Sanren did not comment and turned away.
Immortal Lu said in a cold voice: "Fellow Daoist Xishan, do you want to go against your original intention and live in seclusion?"
Xishan Sanren said nothing and walked away.
At night, after a busy day, people were finally tired and went to rest. However, the imperial capital was still brightly lit, and many young men and women were full of energy and wanted to vent their excess energy.
Ganquan Garden is quiet in a bustling place. The noise of the hustle and bustle outside can no longer be heard here. Su Yun is still dealing with the affairs of the imperial court.
Outside Ganquan Garden, Lu Xianren walked out from the shadows beside the street. From the shadows on the other side of the street, Jun Zaijiu walked out and walked towards Ganquan Garden.
It was dark under the street lamp in front of Ganquan Garden, and Gong Xiluo walked out of the darkness.
The three of them came to the outside of Ganquan Garden. At this time, there was a creaking sound of a door opening. The gate of Ganquan Garden opened, and Xishan Sanren was sitting on the steps of the first hall behind the gate, bathing in the moonlight.
Immortal Lu said: "Fellow Daoist Xishan, you finally remembered your original intention..."
"No."
Xishan Sanren slowly stood up, his body was short and sturdy, and he said calmly: "In my heart, the importance of Emperor Su is greater than my personal life and death. I will never let you touch him at all."
Immortal Lu, Jun Zaijiu and Gong Xilou were all surprised. Gong Xilou said, "Fellow Daoist, one-on-one, you are not afraid of any of us, but if the three of us come together, you can't protect Emperor Su."
Xishan Sanren's aura gradually became agitated, and he said solemnly: "Then, the only way is to fight to the death! Nanhe—"
He roared angrily, and the Xianyuan Avenue was elevated to the extreme. A Nanhe River rushed out from behind the three of them and submerged them with a loud bang!
