Su Yun had just cut off Jiao Shuao's Dragon Tooth Sword when suddenly a series of magical powers attacked from below, making him immediately flustered.
"I've been discovered by the Tong family! If I stay in the air, I'll become the target of the Grey Robbery Monster and everyone will be the target of criticism!"
He acted decisively and grabbed the magic rope, which immediately retracted. Su Yun threw up the small wooden clock, which rotated, with layers of scales expanding outward. Then it transformed into thirty-six suns and moons, flying up and down around him, moving around him, and breaking the attacking magical powers one by one!
What he displayed was martial arts, not magical powers, so he was somewhat stretched when facing the spiritualist's magical powers. But with the blessing of the wooden box, he became extremely powerful!
"Disciple of a saint?"
There was a cry of surprise in the city, and they recognized the Sun and Moon Wall Yangqi Chapter: "He is Bai Yuelou! Bai Yuelou came here, could it be that the saint intends to investigate my Tong family?"
Su Yun took the opportunity to fall into the city, slid on a mountain of ash for dozens of steps, and jumped into a long, reclaimed street.
Behind him, a small wooden clock flew over, and thirty-six suns and thirty-six moons followed closely behind it, transforming into thirty-six scales that merged into the small wooden clock's scales.
Su Yun raised his palm, and the small wooden bell turned into a square wooden block and fell into his hand. Then the small wooden block decomposed into countless square dusts that were imperceptible to the naked eye, flowed along the back of his arm, and turned into a small golden dragon coiled around his body.
He dispersed his Qi and Blood, and the ashes transformed from the blood of the calamity monster immediately fell to the ground and piled up into a pile.
Su Yun grabbed a few handfuls of ash and filled his sleeve pockets, then stretched out his hands, rubbed the ash twice and smeared it on his face.
In the shadows of the street, the miners hid there, motionless.
Jiao Shuao's purpose was just to distract the attention of the Tong family's spiritualists, so not too many robbery monsters were released. There were already Tong family's spiritualists and scholars from the Shuofang Academy guarding the mine. If the robbery monsters escaped, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
There was chaos in Jiehui City, while the girl Wutong and Jiao Shuao walked quickly towards Jiehui Mountain in the center of the city.
Jiao Shuao refined another dragon tooth sword, which flew close to the ground and quietly stabbed the Tong family's spiritualists, injuring them but not fatally.
The reason why he did this was to allow other Tong family spiritualists to stay and take care of the wounded. The more wounded there were, the less combat power the Tong family would have.
"Is the person coming here a disciple of a saint? Could it be from Baiyue Tower?"
Tong Qingluo, the second master of the Tong family, heard the report and his face changed drastically: "Baiyue Tower does not have this strength. Most of them are other disciples of the saint! Their goal is not the Jiehui monster, but the treasure in Jiehui Mountain! Leave some people to deal with the Jiehui monster, and the rest of you, follow me to the central hall of Jiehui Mountain immediately!"
Many spiritual masters and scholars from the Shuofang Academy followed him and rushed towards Jiehui Mountain.
Tong Qingluo's face turned pale and he sneered, "You want to take away my Tong family's treasure? You underestimate the Tong family too much! Not to mention the saint's disciples, even if the saint comes, don't think of taking away my Tong family's treasure!"
Su Yun came to the Central Avenue. This road was a street opened up by the miners of the Jiehui Factory leading to Jiehui Mountain. At the other end of the street was Jiehui Mountain, and at this end were huge copper pillars, with an ancient palace in the center of the copper pillars.
The palace was almost buried in the ashes and dyed black.
Before Su Yun got close, he felt terrifying heat waves coming from the palace of the previous world, and flames could be vaguely seen inside the palace.
A voice came from behind him, saying leisurely: "That is the calamity ashes, the ashes of the vitality that has not yet been burned out after the destruction of the last world."
Su Yun turned around and saw a middle-aged miner carrying a pickaxe walking towards him. As he walked, he said, "In the last world, there must have been extremely powerful spiritualists with strong vitality and profound cultivation. When they were calamity-stricken, their skin and flesh burned away, their qi and blood settled, and they turned into ashes."
Su Yun narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the middle-aged miner.
Many of the miners were country monsters, and there were very few city people. This middle-aged miner looked no different from the other miners, but his unusual conversation aroused his vigilance.
"I have observed various sculptures and carvings in this city of calamity, so I have some understanding of the civilization of the previous world. They are creatures with bones growing outside, similar to insects, with hard shells and internal organs inside the bones."
The middle-aged miner looked at the fire in the hall and said quietly, "There are also extremely powerful beings among them, with status equivalent to that of gods, ruling the people of that era. Their gods live in palaces like this. I guess when the catastrophe comes, they use these palaces to resist the disaster."
The middle-aged miner came to Su Yun and said, "When the world was destroyed, some gods from the previous world took advantage of the time when the world turned into ashes to seal themselves, turning themselves into ashes and falling into suspended animation. To this day, the ashes are still burning, but they have not been able to burn them to death, which shows that they are terribly strong."
Su Yun asked curiously, "Then why did the Tong family dig them out?"
The middle-aged miner did not answer him, and continued: "If this door is opened, the fire will be extinguished, cooled, and solidified. The gods of the previous world will be sealed in the ashes. As long as they don't come into contact with air, there is no need to worry. But as long as they come into contact with air, they will be resurrected and start to eat people and take their flesh and blood! In a temple like this, there are hundreds of gods!"
Su Yun shuddered.
"There have been more than ten riots by the Grey Robbery Monster in the mine, most of which were minor incidents that killed a few miners. Because the Grey Robbery Monster eats fewer people, its strength is equivalent to that of a spiritualist at the Soul Condensation and Yuandong realms. There was only one time when the Grey Robbery Monster escaped to the city and went on a killing spree, eating a lot of people. That time..."
The miner had a blank expression on his face, and said, "The strength of the robbery gray monster has reached the combat power of the four great palace servants! The four great palace servants are at the celestial realm, with combat power like ghosts and gods!"
Su Yun couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Brother, you know so many secrets that others don't know, you must not be an ordinary miner! Who are you?"
The miner sighed and turned around: "A Wenchang scholar who holds the Heavenly Order is naturally not an ordinary scholar, and I certainly can't be an ordinary miner."
Su Yun's heartbeat suddenly quickened: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged miner smiled and said, "I don't quite understand why the emperor sent another secret envoy after sending me here?"
Su Yun's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and blood rushed from his blood vessels to his neck and into his brain!
This middle-aged miner with ordinary appearance is the imperial envoy of Emperor Dongdu, a real envoy!
This impostor finally met the real boss!
"But you are too impatient. After you won the first place in the exam, you became very close to Qiu Shuijing. Qiu Shuijing came from Dongdu, and he is the former imperial teacher of Tiandao Academy. If you get close to him, people will definitely doubt your identity."
The middle-aged miner said, "What's more, Qiu Shuijing was dismissed by the emperor. If you get close to Qiu Shuijing, it will be a failure. Not only will it arouse suspicion from others, but it will also offend the emperor!"
Su Yun tried his best to calm himself down so as not to reveal his true identity. After all, he still had to go to school in the city by virtue of his status as an envoy.
"But when I figured out the ins and outs of this, I realized how deep and terrifying your scheming is."
The middle-aged miner changed the subject and showed admiration, saying: "By doing this, you have cleared yourself of suspicion, because the real Dongdu envoy would never do this! Instead, you turned a disaster into a blessing, avoiding being killed by the spiritualists in the Yuandong realm and even the giants in the Tianxiang realm. You are really cunning!"
Su Yun was at a loss. He had exposed himself just now, so why was he so cunning now
"He is indeed a cunning old man with unfathomable scheming."
The voice of the girl Wutong was heard, Su Yun and the middle-aged miner looked back, only to see the girl Wutong and Jiao Shuao walking towards them one after another.
"I have long experienced this. In addition to being extremely cunning, he also has an incredibly powerful background and a very strong backing!"
The young girl Wutong glanced at the middle-aged miner, as if she could see through his true face, and said calmly: "Compared to him, you are much inferior. Your magic is like the light of a firefly in front of me, and you still want to hide your true self?"
Su Yun was surprised: "Didn't this envoy come here with his own body? Then this miner is..."
The girl Wutong looked up, her face stern and her tone emotionless as she said softly, "You are right above us right now. Your real body is in Shuofang City. You are perpendicular to this miner, and you use your magic to control his every move, even his words and deeds!"
Su Yun's heart skipped a beat; this kind of magic was very rare.
I think now, the envoy must be walking on the streets of Shuofang, making the same movements and saying the same words as this middle-aged miner. This must be very strange in the eyes of others!
Compared with the spell of the girl Wutong, this kind of magic is indeed a small witch compared to a big witch. The girl Wutong controls others without leaving any trace, but he still has traces.
If you really want to investigate him, you can use this clue to find out his true identity!
The miner's eyes twitched, he looked deeply at the girl Wutong and stopped talking.
He was afraid that if he said a few more words, this woman named Wutong would guess his origins!
If his identity is exposed, he will surely die. He does not have as great a background and backing as Su Yun!
The girl Wutong glanced at Su Yun again and asked, "I can deceive everyone so that they cannot see my true appearance. How did you see my true appearance?"
Su Yun was a little puzzled and asked the middle-aged miner, "What do you think she looks like?"
The middle-aged miner tried not to say a word more and said, "Fat, short, dark, and strong!"
Su Yun frowned and continued to ask: "What does the other person look like in your eyes?"
The person he was talking about was Jiao Shuao, the village's go-to guy.
The middle-aged miner said: "Ugly, thin, ugly, and poor."
Su Yun was thoughtful. What he saw was completely different from what the middle-aged miner saw. What he saw was the original appearance of the girl Wutong and Jiao Shuao. The girl Wutong had not affected his eyes.
Moreover, on the day of the final exam, Su Yun accidentally caught a glimpse of the girl Wutong wearing red clothes, standing on the top of the dragon.
The girl Wutong can influence everyone except his eyes!
"Is it because of the mark of the immortal sword in my eyes? Or is it because of the Eight-sided Sky-facing Palace?" He was a little puzzled.
The girl Wutong looked at him again and was very afraid of him. She seldom suffered losses, but her team leader made her suffer losses and was sealed in the Dragon Burial Mausoleum.
The second time she suffered a loss was at the hands of Su Yun, and she was almost killed by Su Yun with one sword.
If it wasn't for the critical moment when Zuo Songyan gave her the Ten Brocade Embroidery Painting, she would have died at Su Yun's hands!
Su Yun seemed to be able to predict her every move. Earlier, when they were chased by the beast, Su Yun invited another dragon girl, Chi Xiaoyao, to confront Jiao Shuao, so that she would not dare to attack Su Yun.
Now, Su Yun actually arrived here before her, as if he had been waiting for her here for a long time!
Moreover, there is an unfathomable envoy beside Su Yun!
What’s even more terrifying is that she discovered that Su Yun could see through her true form!
Each move was so orderly that it made her feel creepy. She felt like she was being held tightly in Su Yun's hand and could not escape from it.
"However, I am about to enter the Soul Condensation Realm. Once I enter the Soul Condensation Realm, he will no longer be my opponent. I don't need Jiao Shuao's help, I can get rid of him on my own!"
She thought to herself: "Such a terrible person must be eliminated early, otherwise he will grow up..."
She shuddered and couldn't help but recall another face, a person that even she, a demon, felt scared of.
The middle-aged miner looked at Su Yun quietly, and felt awe in his heart: "The emperor asked me to investigate Shuofang, but I haven't made any progress these days. The emperor sent another envoy without informing me. Does he doubt my loyalty? Does the emperor think that this newcomer from Tiandao Academy can defeat me?"
