Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 393: Wanxian Pavilion

Su Yun's induction will never be wrong. He sensed that the immortal Suo was nearby, so the immortal Suo must be nearby!

"Immortal Suo was borrowed by Flower Second Brother. Not returning what is borrowed is the nature of a fox, not to mention Master Lingyue is also there. It's impossible for them to enter the Emperor's Seat Cave before me!"

Su Yun's face was uncertain, and now there was only one possibility left.

"After the Emperor's Seat and the Imperial Court merged, after Cen Bo walked the path of ascension for two years, he happened to pass through the sky above Yuanshuo and impulsively took away the immortal Suo. And at that time, it was exactly when Flower Second Brother took the immortal Suo from me... This is too much!"

Su Yun paced back and forth, suddenly stopped, and exhaled a breath. "But this is the truth! So, since Cen Bo is in Yuin, why did the people of the Chai family say they didn't see him? I sensed the immortal Suo, and Cen Bo should know that I'm in Yuin. He didn't appear, which can only mean that he can't appear. In that case, Cen Bo is in danger."

Lou Ban watched him pace back and forth, feeling very relieved.

The human child of Tian Shiyuan had grown up and was no longer a clueless blind child.

Su Yun turned to look at Lou Ban, and said seriously, "Comrade, you are the former master of the Tongtian Pavilion, and you have already passed away. You no longer have the obsession to choose the next master for the Tongtian Pavilion. Now, you only have the obsession to ascend. So you should leave, leave this place, and continue on your path of spiritual ascension."

Lou Ban smiled, "Yes, I should leave."

However, he did not move.

Su Yun frowned.

Lou Ban said leisurely, "You are the master I chose. If you are in danger, I will have the obsession to be reborn. How can I bear to leave? Besides, in a place like this, you need a grandmaster of architecture like me. With my supernatural powers to protect you, you can do things without anyone knowing!"

Su Yun pondered.

He had long seen the strength of Lou Ban. The ever-changing Shuofang City, and even the entire Eastern Capital, were under the control of the dust curtain sky.

Lou Ban's supernatural powers had already exceeded the common understanding of supernatural powers. With him, Su Yun could be said to be as comfortable as a fish in water in Yuin.

However, Lou Ban was only a spiritual being. If he were to be damaged, he might be destroyed!

Apart from being stall companions, they also had a friendship that was almost like that of a master and disciple or fellow Taoists.

Lou Ban met Su Yun when Su Yun was blind, and saw the qualities of this young boy, and found the next master for the Tongtian Pavilion. After Su Yun became the master, in order to keep Lou Ban from ascending, he resisted the urge to see him.

The inheritance of the master of the Tongtian Pavilion was actually the inheritance of the same path. Lou Ban passed on his path to Su Yun, hoping that Su Yun would go further, while Su Yun did not want to see Lou Ban get hurt for his sake.

Lou Ban continued, "It is obvious that the Emperor's Seat Cave intends to harm Yuanshuo, so I cannot leave. The obsession in my spirit will not let me leave. As the great emperor of Tian Shiyuan, you understand better than anyone."

Su Yun no longer tried to persuade him and said, "But I have a request. If you agree, I won't drive you away."

Lou Ban smiled and said, "I agree."

Su Yun looked him in the eye and said in a deep voice, "You can use the dust curtain sky to help me, but if I am in danger, I mean no matter what danger I encounter, even if I am about to die the next moment, you are not allowed to intervene to save me! If you don't agree, leave the dust curtain sky to me and continue your ascension."

Lou Ban understood his meaning. As long as he did not intervene to save him, then there was a possibility that the Chai family would spare his life.

He nodded silently.

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ying Ying, try to summon Master Cen's spirit."

Ying Ying responded with a crisp shout, and countless runes flew, forming a small altar in the air. The little book monster, with a serious expression, stood on the altar and performed a ritual. Thunderous sounds came from the side hall, and the space was faintly cracking open!

Ying Ying struggled even more, trying to lock onto Master Cen's spirit. She wanted to pull Master Cen's spirit over, but it seemed that something was holding Master Cen's spirit, preventing her from completing the summoning.

"No, it's not working," Ying Ying shook her head. "Master's spirit seems to be suppressed. In the past, he couldn't resist my summoning at all, but now I can't summon him. However, I roughly know where he is being suppressed."

Lou Ban looked at the little girl on the small altar with awe and asked cautiously, "Can you summon any spirit, little friend?"

Ying Ying said, "As long as there are relics or familiarity with their spirit, they can be summoned."

Lou Ban secretly lamented, thinking, "I am familiar with this little book monster. If she suddenly pulls this off when I am about to reach the immortal realm on my path of ascension, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

He did not know that the case of the Burial Dragon Tomb arose because Ying Ying summoned the spirit of the dragon and the spirit of the demon, and that Master Cen was delayed on his way to the Emperor's Seat Cave by Ying Ying's summoning.

Lou Ban suppressed the magnetic light in the dust curtain sky, and the light turned into a divine sword, but it still trembled uneasily.

Su Yun took the divine sword into his own spiritual realm, cutting off the connection between the sword and its owner. He couldn't give the sword to Lou Ban to suppress, because Lou Ban needed to focus all his energy on helping him. If he were to be distracted, Su Yun might be in danger.

Ying Ying landed on Su Yun's shoulder and said with a smile, "Su Scholar still needs me. With my knowledge, you will be unstoppable!"

Su Yun walked out, smiling, "Ying Ying is the most amazing!"

Ying Ying was very pleased.Lou Ban looked at this scene, feeling a little melancholy. As the former head of the Tongtian Pavilion, he also had his own book monster to record his journey of exploring the world. Unfortunately, after his death, the book monster also died.

Outside the side hall, there were many children of the Chai family guarding in front of each hall, with strict defense.

The high-level members of the Chai family were worried that the rebels like Nan Buyi would infiltrate the city, so they were on high alert. However, this posed a great difficulty for Su Yun.

However, the moment Su Yun walked out of the side hall, he saw the dust curtain sky appearing on both sides of him, like mist. The mist then changed into lifelike images.

No matter from which angle you looked, you couldn't see Su Yun, and even the guards couldn't see anything different.

Lou Ban used the dust curtain sky to completely conceal Su Yun!

Although Su Yun had mastered the dust curtain sky for nearly two years, he still didn't know that the dust curtain sky had this function!

"I just sensed Master Cen's spiritual energy above," Ying Ying whispered.

"Above?" Su Yun was taken aback and looked up, but apart from the fairy clouds and another world in the fairy clouds, there was nothing else!

"The people of the Chai family said that the world in the clouds is the fairy world. How could Master Cen be suppressed by the Chai family into the fairy world?"

Su Yun was greatly puzzled. Moreover, isn't it impossible for anyone to enter the fairy world? If it were possible to enter the fairy world, why wouldn't the people of the Chai family go in, and instead imprison Master Cen there?

"Unless, the world in the fairy clouds is not the fairy world!"

Su Yun was suspicious. If the world in the fairy clouds was not the fairy world, then where did the fairy light come from?

"In that case, I might as well go and take a look there!"

Su Yun calmed down and quietly rose into the air, trying not to cause any disturbance, heading towards the fairy clouds in the sky.

In the side hall, Lou Ban frowned slightly. "This time it's a bit difficult... but it won't defeat me!"

As Su Yun rose into the air, the dust curtain sky also continued to change under Lou Ban's control, simulating the scenery in the sky, ensuring that no one from any angle in Ying'an City could discover anything unusual!

This required powerful computing capabilities, and for Lou Ban, who could easily control the entire city, it was also a great challenge!

"This kid really knows how to find trouble."

Lou Ban sat cross-legged, smiling. "But I'm not just all talk and no action! This level of difficulty..."

His face suddenly changed because at this moment, he suddenly discovered that a painted boat in Ying'an City was also flying towards the fairy clouds!

In order to ensure that Su Yun was not discovered by anyone, it was necessary to ensure that the people in this painted boat could not see Su Yun, which required a significant increase in computing and control capabilities!

"I'm going all out!"

Lou Ban calculated as much as he could while controlling the dust curtain sky to protect Su Yun.

Su Yun also noticed the painted boat and thought to himself, "It's definitely impossible to enter the fairy world like this. Otherwise, the Chai family would have been full of immortals, and the spiritual energy of the previous saints would have no need to ascend. So, what's the deal with the Chai family's fairy clouds and the world in the fairy clouds?"

He slowed down and waited for the painted boat to arrive, then lightly landed on the boat.

"This kid is really trying to get me killed!" Lou Ban gritted his teeth and did everything he could to protect Su Yun by controlling the changes in the dust curtain sky.

On the painted boat were several young men and women from the Chai family, as well as Chai Cui from the Five Elders. Chai Cui suddenly seemed to sense something and looked out sharply, but saw nothing.

The old woman was puzzled and withdrew her gaze, saying in a deep voice, "The imperial guest named Su Yun has a high level of cultivation. We, the Five Elders, have decided to send you to the Wanxian Pavilion for cultivation. That is where the ancestor lives, and even we, the Five Elders, have no chance to enter without merit."

The young men and women were both surprised and delighted.

"Wanxian Pavilion?" Su Yun was surprised and looked up, only to see the world in the clouds getting closer and closer. When he arrived, Su Yun's face turned dark.

Looking from below to the world in the fairy clouds, it looked like a fairyland, with fairy palaces and halls floating in the air. This was the place that the eyes could see, and the places that couldn't be seen must be even more vast!

However, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be not the case. The world in the fairy clouds was only as big as it appeared!

Ying Ying also stared, murmuring, "The Chai family is really ruthless, even deceiving their own people..."

The old woman Chai Cui walked out of the painted boat, came to the bow, and her ten fingers danced continuously, and various runes jumped out from her fingertips. The layers of sealing in the sky above suddenly opened, allowing the painted boat to enter the fairy clouds!

As the painted boat entered the space in the clouds and headed towards the fairy palace, Su Yun suddenly felt the magnetic divine sword in his spiritual realm constantly vibrating, almost uncontrollable!

Su Yun thought to himself that this was not good, as the vibration became stronger and the connection between the divine sword and its owner penetrated into his spiritual realm!

The old woman Chai Cui suddenly raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Who has infiltrated the forbidden area of my Chai family? Get out of here!"

Although she was a woman, her voice was exceptionally fierce, like a thunderous explosion, almost breaking through the dust curtain sky that Su Yun was under!

Lou Ban couldn't help but panic. "This is bad! Su kid won't let me take action, but how can I watch you go to your death?"

Just then, a light laughter came from the painted boat. "Old lady, you can even detect this. You truly deserve to be one of the Five Elders of the Chai family. Not even a demon can interfere with you!"

Upon hearing this voice, Su Yun was taken aback. "Nan Buyi!"

A young man on the painted boat burst out of the cabin, laughing heartily, and flew towards the Wanxian Pavilion.Chai Cui let out a fierce shout, and the walking stick in her hand suddenly transformed into the Orient Loong God. The dragon soared into the sky, carrying the old woman straight towards Nan Buyi!

Su Yun stood at the bow of the boat, watching as other young men and women rushed out from the painted pleasure boat. At that moment, a flurry of red garments flashed before Su Yun's eyes, drifting further and further away.

At the end of the red garments was a graceful young girl, who lifted her fair arms and waved at Su Yun: "No need to thank me, Junior Brother Su."

A white rhinoceros leaped joyfully into Su Yun's spiritual realm, bouncing merrily.

Su Yun gritted his teeth, struggling to suppress the surging Yuan Magnetic Divine Sword within him, thinking to himself: "Wu Tong, that witch, has actually gotten ahead of me again! This is bad—"

Unable to contain the Yuan Magnetic Divine Sword, it burst forth from his spiritual realm. Without a second thought, Su Yun grabbed the hilt of the sword, only to see it suddenly burst into brilliant light, transforming into a beam of Yuan Magnetic Divine Radiance, lifting him up and whooshing towards the Wanxian Pavilion!

The young men and women at the bow were all stunned.

In the side hall, Lou Ban sighed, thinking to himself: "It's over, even if I wanted to risk my life for you this time, it's no longer possible."

The speed of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Radiance was too fast, leaving him no time to use the Dust Curtain Sky to cover!
