Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 216 – Man of the Mountains and Wilderness

On the seventh level of Mount Yuhuang, it was bustling and prosperous, even more so than Jiangnan. The Yuhuang Waterfall had turned into the Feiyun Lake, with the sky and water reflecting each other, calm and still like a mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky.

Bai Yun walked on the surface of the lake, looking up at the sky which was as blue as washed.

When the Lou Ban was building the capital, they were worried about destroying the beauty of the Feiyun Lake, so they built dams along the lake to separate the buildings of the seventh level of the capital from the lake, to prevent it from being polluted.

These buildings were built along the mountain, one after another, like dragon scales, covering Mount Yuhuang.

Su Yun sat in the Immortal Residence of the Piaoya Building, looking out at the lake. He saw a few leaves floating on the surface of the lake, with white clouds floating under the boat.

"It\'s like a fairyland."

Bai Yuelou beside Su Yun exclaimed, "The atmosphere of the capital is extraordinary."

Su Yun smiled slightly. The beauty of the capital was breathtaking, but compared to a fairyland, it was still inferior. He had seen a fairyland before, and it was incomparable.

The Immortal Residence of the Piaoya Building meant wandering around the world, often the place where foreign envoys stayed.

Su Yun withdrew his gaze and looked at the other guests.

This time, Cang Jiuhua invited guests not only to invite Bai Yuelou, but also some young talents from the aristocratic families of the capital.

These aristocratic children were extraordinary, chatting and laughing at the banquet, and were very shrewd.

Su Yun was accompanying them this time, because he ate a plate of lamb and killed Gao Fu, earning Cang Jiuhua\'s respect, and thus got a seat at the bottom of the Bai Yuelou.

"Where did those plates of lamb go?"

Su Yun cleared his table of food, feeling hungry and looking around for the plates of lamb. He looked around among the guests, suspiciously asking, "Could it be that those plates of lamb have turned into people and are hiding among these guests?"

Wutong sat alone at a table next to Su Yun, only ate two bites, and saw Su Yun looking around, so she signaled Jiao Shu\'Ao to bring her food to Su Yun\'s table and said, "I can\'t eat this food."

Su Yun thanked her and continued to wolf down his food, saying in a muffled voice, "What do you usually eat, junior sister?"

"Water, or twisted spiritual essence."

Wutong said, "People say that I eat people, but I don\'t."

Su Yun was surprised. In his spiritual world, Ying Ying took out pen and paper and recorded the habits of humans and demons, intending to classify them.

She had a grudge against humans and demons.

Wutong said, "These young talents from the aristocratic families who came to the banquet may not be good for you."Su Yun finished his meal, still feeling a bit hungry. Bai Yuelou was terrified and quickly pushed his own portion towards Su Yun, fearing that he might eat his as well.

Wu Tong continued, "Shui Jing said that you are a follower of Bai Yuelou, but you are actually just helping Yuan Shuo save face. However, if Cang Jiu Hua investigates a little, he will know who you really are. Yuan Shuo will still try to test your strength, and he will be able to find out!"

Su Yun put down his food and looked over the many guests to Cang Jiu Hua, who was surrounded by the envoys of Da Qin. However, there were also a few people from Yuan Shuo accompanying him, clearly of very high status.

Wu Tong seemed to know everyone there and said casually, "The one in yellow on Cang Jiu Hua\'s left is Wen Yanfeng, the son of Prime Minister Wen. The one in purple next to Wen Yanfeng is Gu Shengping, the son of the Minister of Ceremonies. The Minister of Ceremonies and the Prime Minister are enough to rival Shui Jing and Xue Shengren. They came to the banquet not to please the foreign envoys, but to expose your identity and ruin Shui Jing\'s good intentions."

Su Yun asked, "What good does it do them to expose my true identity and reveal Yuan Shuo\'s weakness to Da Qin?"

Wu Tong replied calmly, "It does nothing good for Yuan Shuo, but it does a lot of good for them. You defeated Di Ping and exposed your identity, which will lead to many people challenging you. If they defeat you, they will have defeated Di Ping, and the ambitions of the noble families in the capital will grow. If it is widely publicized, it will be even more significant."

Wu Tong appeared in his vision of Tianmen Town, looking up at the Chao Tianque, and chuckled, "Since Di Ping ascended to the throne, many noble families have been extremely dissatisfied with him. This time, his appointment of Shui Jing has only accumulated their dissatisfaction to the extreme. Therefore, the seven noble families have become rebellious, and other factions may follow suit."

Su Yun smiled slightly, urged his blood and energy, and forced her out of his eyes, "Defeat me? Di Ping doesn\'t even have that ability, let alone them?"

A red veil brushed his cheek, and the red-clothed girl walked within his spiritual sense.

On the yellow bell, the girl walked barefoot on each scale. The yellow bell suddenly rotated, flowing from under her feet. She walked, but remained in place.

Su Yun\'s spiritual sense gradually expanded, and he held the yellow bell and the girl in his palm.

"In Yuan Shuo\'s country, there are not many people at the same level who can defeat you. But what if foreign envoys defeat you?"

Su Yun stared at the girl in his palm, afraid that she would take the opportunity to attack Ying Ying. Unexpectedly, the red veil flew everywhere, blocking his vision.

He reached out to push away the red veil, and the red threads scattered, the girl disappeared.Su Yun looked up and saw himself in a pure and immaculate place, surrounded by white clouds. A spirit rhinoceros was sleeping in the clouds.

The spirit rhinoceros woke up and was happy to see him. It ran towards him and carried him on its back without saying a word, happily running forward.

Under the spirit rhinoceros\' feet was a rainbow bridge made of red silk, connecting to the clouds.

The spirit rhinoceros ran along the red silk, and Wu Tong was lying on the white clouds ahead. The red silk looked like her waistband.

"If the foreign envoy defeats you and someone with a purpose spreads the word, it can be said that defeating you is defeating Di Ping. If the foreign envoy defeats Di Ping and forces him to abdicate, it can be considered natural."

Wu Tong pulled the red silk with both hands, and the spirit rhinoceros ran closer. The closer it got, the larger the girl lying on the clouds became.

The spirit rhinoceros ran into the girl\'s palm. She was like a towering and boundless deity, holding the spirit rhinoceros and Su Yun in her hands.

The spirit rhinoceros played around between her palm lines, crossed the flowing water and jumped over the mountains.

Wu Tong\'s face appeared in the sky, saying, "Dongdu has long been a magic city where the magic is brewing and nurturing to cultivate a magic god or king!"

She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and kissed Su Yun and the white rhinoceros in her palm with her red lips.

Su Yun quickly raised his hand to block in front of him, but the red lips blocked all his sight.

Just as Wu Tong\'s red lips were about to touch him, everything disappeared, and Su Yun returned to the banquet. He saw himself holding an empty plate in front of him, blocking his view.

The guests around him looked surprised.

Wu Tong chuckled lightly and said, "Second Junior Brother."

Su Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had been played with by Wu Tong\'s blood and Qi just now. It was evident that Wu Tong\'s cultivation was far stronger than his. Therefore, he could only give up his position as the eldest martial brother and let Wu Tong become the elder sister of the Ge Wu Academy.

"The follower of White Scholar is so powerful that he can devour a plate of lamb. It is believed that White Scholar\'s cultivation is even more remarkable."

Suddenly, a spiritual master stood up at the banquet and said loudly, "White Scholar is a disciple of the Sage and was cultivated by two imperial teachers. Therefore, I dare to ask Scholar for advice."

Bai Yuelou sat upright and smiled, "Who are you?"

The spiritual master bowed and said, "My father is Yuan Shuo, the charioteer general of the Dongdu Mei Family, Mei Guiting."

Bai Yuelou laughed, "The Mei Family is also a big family, but compared to the Sage\'s disciples, it is still far behind. If you can defeat my follower, Su Yun, then you have the right to challenge me."Mei Guiting also laughed out loud: "I have long heard of the name of Su Shi, who challenged Emperor Yuanshuo in the battle of Tian Dao Yuan. Mei Guiting dares to ask Su Shi for advice!"

Wu Tong smiled and said, "Did I not say it correctly? You have already been exposed. These sons of the aristocracy will also reveal your identity and let Cang Jiuhua know the truth."

Su Yun picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one go.

"At fourteen, you are not allowed to drink!" In his spiritual realm, Ying Ying rolled up her book and angrily knocked on his head.

Su Yun poured himself another glass of wine and drank it.

Mei Guiting walked out from behind the table and smiled, "Bai Shizi is not a scholar of Tian Dao Yuan, but Su Shizi is. In Tian Dao Yuan, he fought against Emperor Yuanshuo and forced him to retreat repeatedly, making a name for himself in the capital. Everyone wants to know who Su Shizi really is. Today, I am lucky enough to meet Su Shizi here."

In the center of the immortal realm, everyone\'s eyes were on Su Yun.

Cang Jiuhua saw this scene, and suddenly all his worries disappeared. "Even if Yuanshuo has made great progress in his studies, so what? The officials under him are not wise, and the ministers are not virtuous. They only know how to fight and cause internal strife. Even if Shui Jing has the ability to reach the sky, it is useless."

Su Yun drank his wine and in his spiritual realm, Ying Ying continued to knock on his spiritual head. "I told you not to drink, but you still did! You\'re not learning well at such a young age!"

Mei Guiting\'s eyes flickered and he said unhappily, "I dare to ask Su Shizi for advice. Does Su Shizi not give me this face?"

"Challenging me means death."

Su Yun played with his wine glass and looked down at it indifferently. "I am from Tian Shi Yuan, a mountain man. Whenever I make a move, I rarely hold back. Will your father, Mei Lang, have one less son? As long as you nod, I will give you the opportunity to challenge me."

Mei Guiting\'s pupils shrank suddenly. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and laughed, "Brother Su..."

Su Yun lifted the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly the glass broke into seven circular rings, similar to his Dahuang Bell.

"Dang!"

A deafening bell rang out, and a sound wave rushed out, turning into a giant bell with a circumference of several zhang!

Mei Guiting exploded with a "pop" and turned into dust.

Su Yun put down the wine glass, which shattered on the ground. He looked around with drunkenness and swayed to his feet, laughing, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
