Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 401: A glib tongue like a reed

The divine Chai Yundu's gaze fell on Su Yun, who remained calm and composed, saying, "Now that the two realms are connected, the Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan personally went to see the demon Peng Hao guarding the Black Iron City, opening the Black Iron City. From now on, the two realms are integrated, with no more obstacles."

As soon as he finished speaking, the towering green mountains trembled, and the rich and mellow vitality of heaven and earth surged, causing the trees to sway and the flowers to bloom.

Looking down from Tian Xi Mountain, all that could be seen was lush greenery and a sea of colorful flowers.

The people in Ying'an City were shocked, and Chai Fuli exclaimed, "The vitality of the two realms is connected!"

At this moment, a gust of vitality-formed wind blew, shaking everyone's spirits. This vitality was so pure and abundant that it was bound to greatly increase everyone's cultivation strength.

Chai Fuli, Chai Keji, and others all looked at Su Yun, and Chai Keji whispered, "The legendary Black Iron City with extraordinary divine power has indeed been opened."

While others did not know why the Black Iron City was opened, the ancestors of the Chai family had some secret rumors.

One of the rumors stated that the extraordinary divine power was not just about the interaction between the two realms' gods, but literally meant to cut off the connection between the two realms, causing the quality of the vitality of heaven and earth to decline, making it impossible for people to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and cultivate divine power, thus achieving the goal of extraordinary divine power!

The credibility of this rumor was unknown, but the Chai family had attempted to open the passage between the two realms several times over the years, only to be blocked by the Black Iron City and unable to break the ban.

The demon Peng Hao, who guarded the city, was powerful and had fought a great battle with the divine Chai Yundu when he attacked the Black Iron City in his early years.

The divine Chai Yundu's gaze remained on Su Yun without leaving, as if he had no interest in the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth.

He was more interested in Su Yun, seemingly wanting to see through him.

Su Yun looked up at him, unmoved, with no change in expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lou Ban secretly praised, "Truly worthy of being the little blind man of Tian Shi Yuan, his ability to feign ignorance is top-notch!"

Yu Daoyuan was about to speak, but Lou Ban glared at him, causing Yu Daoyuan to hold back his words.

Luo Wanyi's eyes flickered, thinking to herself, "Is he the former head of the pavilion, Lou Ban? I heard that he had the merit and realm of a sage in the past, and even created a prominent school in the new learning, wanting to return to Yuan Shuo to repay the country's grace. However, the Emperor of Yuan Shuo at that time made him build the Eastern Capital, wasting his lifelong skills. This sage ended up dying in despair..."

Her gaze then fell on Su Yun, feeling puzzled, "Now the Emperor of Yuan Shuo is also a tyrant and cannot possibly reappoint Lord Su. Why did Lord Su not die in despair?"

Although she was the Emperor of Great Qin, she could not have expected that Su Yun came from Tian Shi Yuan, where demons and monsters ran rampant, and would not be as loyal as Lou Ban and Qiu Shuijing.

Su Yun directly killed Di Ping, the current Emperor of Yuan Shuo, who was just a skin incarnation of Qin Wuling.

The divine Chai Yundu spoke, his voice calm and heavy, "Clearly residing in the imperial court, yet calling himself the Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan. This so-called emperor is obviously a false emperor, unaware of the origin of the imperial court. Since the false emperor has opened the ban, how could he not come in to take a look? In that case, my physical body and the immortal treasures of my Chai family have been stolen by the false emperor."

Su Yun's expression changed slightly.

The divine Chai Yundu took in every bit of his expression and said calmly, "It seems that the imperial court is indeed in dire straits, to the point of being occupied by you, the lowly natives of these small worlds. How dare the lowly natives of these small worlds call themselves emperors?"

Su Yun calmly replied, "The divine Chai took advantage of the chaos in our realm to launch a sneak attack, refining the Magnetic Divine Light as a treasure and causing chaos in various places in our realm. At the same time, the Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan traveled to the Northern Sea, subdued Peng Hao, opened the gates, stepped onto the Emperor's Continent, and took the divine treasures of the divine Chai without anyone noticing, and also stole the divine Chai's physical body. It's clear who is more clever between the Great Emperor and the divine Chai."

The divine Chai Yundu burst into laughter.

Yu Daoyuan was also dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "This kid's mouth can bring the dead back to life and make the living die!"

However, he was somewhat puzzled about the Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan, "Who is this Great Emperor? Why have I not heard of him? There used to be someone called the Eastern Master, but it is said that he has ascended and left. And the Eastern Master could not possibly have such strength..."

He did not know that Tian Shi Yuan did not have a Great Emperor, and even the Eastern Master was not the Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan, at least not in name.

The reason the Eastern Master guarded Tian Shi Yuan and patrolled in all directions every night was because he was worried about chaos in Tian Shi Yuan. After all, apart from the countless demons and monsters of the North Sea in Tian Shi Yuan, there were also countless wandering spirits and wild ghosts.

Seeing the Eastern Master's imposing manner, Su Yun thought that the Eastern Master was the Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan, so he casually gave himself the title of Great Emperor.

For the gods and spirits of Tian Shi Yuan, this was their own child, so letting him boast a little was not a big deal.

The title of the Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan was not believed by anyone in Tian Shi Yuan, but Su Yun, with this title, managed to intimidate Yu Daoyuan and all the strong members of the Chai family, including the divine Chai Yundu.

The divine Chai Yundu's laughter subsided, and he said, "In the battle between the two realms, all means are fair. I made a mistake and was taken advantage of by the false emperor. But I have also thoroughly grasped the strength of your world. The false emperor stole my physical body and my immortal treasures, exposing his own strength. It's clear that his strength is inferior to mine."

His voice contained a power close to the Dao, as if the words of a great sage of the Confucian school could command the law, making people feel an unparalleled power.

"My Chai family is of immortal nature, naturally close to the Dao, and practices the inheritance of the immortals. From the elderly to the young, all are proficient in immortal arts. My Chai family has immortal light, and the spirit can refine a golden body, which is indestructible and immortal, comparable to a divine spirit.""The Chai family possesses an imperial treasure land, with countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and powerful relics that even gods and demons cannot withstand!"

Divine Lord Chai Yundu pointed at Yu Daoyuan and said, "Such beings who have broken through their limits, my Chai family has four of them. How many does your world have?"

The complexion of God Emperor Yu Daoyuan changed slightly. He glanced at Chai Keji and Chai Fuli, thinking to himself, "I thought I had cultivated to the limit, surpassing the remnants of the past, yet there are four like me..."

He had been confident about his own Tribulation Crossing, but now he hesitated.

The Chai clan were celestial bodies, and even the supreme beings of this family did not dare to attempt Tribulation Crossing to become immortals. His own chances seemed slim.

Su Yun smiled and bowed slightly, "Although my realm has fewer experts than the Chai family, we have many more in number. Before the Great Emperor left, he instructed me to ask Divine Lord, if I block Black Iron City with my Heavenly Market Enclosure, with me inside the city and you outside, holding the strategic point and defending, would we exchange ten lives of ours for one of the Chai family?"

Divine Lord Chai Yundu's face changed slightly, and the people of the Chai family behind him were even more enraged, about to burst out in anger and murder.

Chai Yundu raised his hand to stop them.

Su Yun continued, "If ten lives are not enough, how about a hundred lives for one of the Chai family? My Heavenly Market Enclosure can afford it! Can the Chai family, with merely a million people, afford it?"

Chai Yundu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else does the friend from the imperial court have to say?"

Su Yun bowed and said, "The Great Emperor also said that the imperial throne's cave heaven has internal troubles, with bandits not eradicated and rebellions incessant. It seems stable, but in reality, it is already rotten. If you provoke a formidable enemy like my Heavenly Market Enclosure, the Great Emperor fears that Divine Lord will face a situation where both sides suffer."

Chai Yundu laughed heartily, with divine light fluttering behind him, slowly shrinking his form, yet still over ten zhang tall, he said, "This friend from the imperial court is truly a kindred spirit. Since you are the messenger of a friend, please enter the city, and I will prepare a banquet to entertain you."

He gestured an invitation and then walked ahead.

Chai Keji, Chai Fuli, the four elders of the Chai family, along with a group of golden-bodied divine spirits and the high-ranking members of the Chai family, lined up in two rows.

Su Yun was surprised and looked at Lou Ban, who was also quite astonished, and whispered, "He died, his physical body gone, only his spirit remains, and even the ancestral treasures of the immortals were taken by the 'Great Emperor,' yet he managed to calm his mind in an instant. Little Yun..."

He hesitated for a moment and transmitted his voice, "Such an existence, with a terrifying state of mind, you can't handle it!"

Su Yun took a deep breath and said, "There's no way back."

Lou Ban fell silent, took the lead, and followed Divine Lord Chai Yundu towards Ying'an City.

God Emperor Yu Daoyuan hesitated for a moment, not planning to follow them, and was about to order all members of the Tongtian Pavilion to retreat when suddenly Xu Song and others had already followed Lou Ban's steps, moving forward.

And Luo Wanyi had also left him, walking at the forefront of the group.

Yu Daoyuan was shocked and angry, knowing that Lou Ban's prestige was still above his own, and if he showed cowardice at this moment, he feared that no one in the Tongtian Pavilion would submit to him again!

"Forget it, this is a conflict between two realms, not a dispute between Yuanshuo and my Western Land. If our realm is defeated, the Western Land will also become enslaved. The greater good comes first, I will put aside my grievances with Su Yun for now!"

With this thought, he also walked forward, passing through the crowd to the front, indicating that the Tongtian Pavilion was still under his command, and Luo Wanyi was still within his control.

Chai Xirong came to Su Yun's side, her eyes filled with a deep look, and she whispered, "Didn't you say, Pavilion Master Su, that you and Saint Spirit Lou crossed the starry sky together? Why today have you come from the Beiming Sea?"

Su Yun's expression was indifferent: "Times change."

Chai Xirong was slightly startled, pondering over his words.

Chai Fuli caught up with Lou Ban and said, "I recognize you, in the great prison, you were captured by one of my moves. The one who caused a great disturbance in the Xianyun Great Prison, it was you!"

Lou Ban laughed heartily and said, "Times change."

Chai Fuli was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the meaning of his words.

Lou Ban caused a great disturbance in the Xianyun Great Prison, the Heavenly Market Enclosure's Great Emperor stole the Divine Lord's physical body and cushion, and now with the great momentum of the Heavenly Market Enclosure, it was necessary for both realms to sit down and talk to avoid a mutually destructive outcome.

A battle between the two realms was inevitable, how to fight, when to fight, who would fight, and the outcome, all had to be discussed clearly.

The pinnacle
