Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 274 – Dramatic changes in Feiyun Valley

Xing Jiangmu didn\'t sleep all night. He secretly sneaked out of the embassy and inquired about the news of Fei Yun Valley. The appearance of a treasure in Fei Yun Valley was a big event that alarmed almost all the prominent families in Yun Du.

Of course, for some families, spiritual weapons were nothing special, so the strong members of the family did not take action and let the younger generation try their luck.

Su Yun went to the various academies in Jian Ge and fought with the experts there. Some scholars from Jian Ge were injured, so not many people went to Fei Yun Valley this time.

.

Even so, there were still too many scholars in Fei Yun Valley, and it was crowded with people searching for treasures.

In the middle of the night, Xing Jiangmu learned that in Fei Yun Valley, the treasure, a certain treasure bottle, suddenly shook and took away the spiritual weapons of hundreds of scholars. Those scholars not only failed to find the treasure, but also lost hundreds of spiritual weapons, causing them to cry and complain.

When Xing Jiangmu heard this news, he was stunned.

He continued to inquire and learned that some experts in the Tian Xiang realm from certain families tried to subdue the treasure bottle but were taken into it.

When those experts in the Tian Xiang realm finally broke out of the bottle after great difficulties, everyone was shocked to find that those experts were completely naked, not even leaving behind a pair of pants. No one knew what dangers were inside the bottle!

This news spread to the ears of many prominent families in Yun Du, finally attracting the attention of the prominent families in Da Qin.

"This treasure is extraordinary. It is difficult for ordinary masters to subdue it. We need a strong expert in the Zhen Sheng realm to take action and suppress it with spiritual weapons before we can subdue this treasure!"

That night, the power of the treasure bottle erupted several times. Wherever the divine light passed, regardless of their cultivation level, the spiritual weapons and clothes of the scholars in the valley were all swept away.

In the middle of the night, a Zhen Sheng expert from the Fu family brought their spiritual weapons to Fei Yun Valley to suppress the situation.

Seeing this, the scholars in Fei Yun Valley had to give up their thoughts of seizing treasures and retreated, watching from a distance.

Unexpectedly, the treasure bottle emitted a misty light and blocked the power of the Fu family\'s spiritual weapons, preventing their power from falling.

The Zhen Sheng expert from the Fu family continuously activated their spiritual weapons but still couldn\'t suppress the treasure bottle.

Seeing this, the Yang family, who were watching, also sent their Zhen Sheng experts with their spiritual weapons, intending to take advantage of the situation while their opponents were entangled with the treasure bottle. However, before the Yang family\'s spiritual weapons were even raised, a beam of light suddenly descended from the bottle, taking the Zhen Sheng expert from the Yang family and their spiritual weapons into the bottle.

Inside and outside Fei Yun Valley, there was an uproar.

More experts from the Bo family came, also bringing their spiritual weapons, but before they entered the valley, their spiritual weapons were taken by the treasure bottle.

The second half of the night was extremely lively. Xing Jiangmu originally planned to sleep until dawn, but the unexpected events in Fei Yun Valley were too exciting for him to fall asleep.

When dawn arrived, more than ten prominent families had suffered losses, with both people and spiritual weapons being taken into the bottle.

As the sun rose, Su Yun woke up, freshened up, and went to the street to buy some food. He saw a bookstore on the side of the street and decided to buy two pounds of books to bring back as breakfast for Ying Ying.

In the embassy, there were only him, Ying Ying, Xing Jiangmu, and others. Yu Qingluo and Ye Luo also entered Jian Ge to study and did not live in the embassy. Su Yun didn\'t like the food made by the little spirits in the coffin, so he had to buy some food from Yuan Shuo on the street.

—Fortunately, some people from Yuan Shuo came to work in Da Qin, and some people even opened a few restaurants.

When Su Yun returned from the street, he saw Xing Jiangmu hurriedly returning.

"Jiang Mu, you haven\'t slept yet?" Su Yun was startled.

Xing Jiangmu shook his head and said, "Last night was really exciting. I didn\'t sleep all night."

As they walked and talked, Xing Jiangmu recounted the news he had learned last night and said, "Fei Yun Valley is indeed strange. More than ten spiritual weapons have been lost inside, and even the Zhen Sheng experts from those ten families have fallen into the bottle. Most of those Zhen Sheng experts are the leaders of their families!"

Su Yun didn\'t know much about the prominent families in Da Qin and asked in detail. Xing Jiangmu said, "The prominent families in Da Qin are mostly newcomers who rose to power during the Pan Yang Rebellion, with a history of no more than 170 years. With the development of the New Learning, the leaders of these families have become stronger with each generation. One hundred years ago, most of the leaders of these families were experts in the Tian Xiang realm, but now they are mostly in the Zhen Sheng realm. The Zhen Sheng experts in Da Qin are not inferior to the original Dao realm experts in Yuan Shuo."

Su Yun nodded thoughtfully.

Xing Jiangmu continued, "The Zhen Sheng experts who fell into the bottle have not come out yet, which is strange. Even if this treasure bottle is a divine weapon of a saint, it is unlikely to suppress more than ten Zhen Sheng experts, right?"

Su Yun said, "So, some people have already noticed something fishy?"

Xing Jiangmu nodded and said, "Shao Shi guessed it right. When I came back, the scholars outside Fei Yun Valley were already discussing and suspecting that this is a trap."

Su Yun suddenly said, "If you have learned about the situation in Fei Yun Valley, it means that the news has already spread to Yun Du. It also means that the strong experts in Yun Du have begun to prepare to capture the people who set up this trap."

He had just said this when the sky suddenly became extremely bright. Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu looked up and saw that in the sky above Yun Du, huge spiritual weapons with long tails were flying up from Yun Du and descending towards Fei Yun Valley!

The sky was distorted by the power emitted by these spiritual weapons, and Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu even saw the blue sky collapsing under the pressure of those spiritual weapons!

"Amazing!"

Su Yun felt heavy in his heart, understanding why Yuan Shuo had been defeated. Yuan Shuo had a deep foundation and a history of five thousand years, with countless spiritual weapons hidden in its land. However, the power of the spiritual weapons in Da Qin surpassed that of Yuan Shuo by several times.

When they met on the battlefield, it was a massacre!

"Fortunately, Yuan Shuo still has time. Now Da Qin is troubled both internally and externally and has no time to deal with Yuan Shuo."A dust curtain flew across the sky, carrying Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu. They looked into the distance and saw that as the spiritual soldiers were about to reach Feiyun Valley, the spiritual weapon suppressing the valley was suddenly absorbed into a treasure vase by a ray of light.

Then, the treasure vase spewed out a stream of rosy light, rushing towards the hundreds of spiritual soldiers flying in the sky!

"There are people in the rosy light!"

Su Yun sat on a cloud, eating breakfast, and activated his Taoist Heavenly Eye to look into the distance. His heart trembled slightly as he saw that the figures in the rosy light were the powerful beings at the Saint-Seeking level from various major families.

These people were in a sorry state, with injuries all over their bodies. Someone shouted, "There are enemies in the vase!"

The treasure vase released them, letting them face the spiritual soldiers from the major families. It was clearly harboring malicious intentions!

"Someone has indeed set a trap, intending to plunder the wealth of our Great Qin!"

A thunderous sound suddenly came to Su Yun\'s ears. He quickly turned his head and saw a rainbow light rising from the direction of the Sword Pavilion, breaking through the sky and disappearing like a sharp sword in an instant!

"That\'s not Yue Liuxi\'s voice!"

Su Yun\'s face changed slightly, "Then it must be the Martial Saint Jiang Zushi! He\'s so fast!"

Jiang Zushi\'s speed was incredibly fast. Even with Su Yun\'s Taoist Heavenly Eye, he could barely keep up with him.

Jiang Zushi moved in the air, appearing next to a Saint-Seeking powerhouse in an instant. With a flick of his hand, he pushed the person aside, avoiding the spiritual soldiers bombarding from above!

In the next moment, Su Yun could only see a fleeting shadow, and Jiang Zushi had already appeared next to the second Saint-Seeking powerhouse!

His speed was truly astonishing. In just a blink of an eye, he had saved more than a dozen Saint-Seeking powerhouses. He paused slightly in the air, then plummeted like a comet into Feiyun Valley!

Su Yun looked into the distance and saw Jiang Zushi in mid-air, slapping his palm downwards. Behind him, the heavenly court appeared with numerous gods standing tall. Jiang Zushi, like a god king, unleashed a earth-shattering strike!

With this strike, he could probably kill both the treasure vase and the person who set the trap!

When a Martial Saint made a move, it was extraordinary. Su Yun saw from a distance that the clouds above Feiyun Valley were suddenly dispersed by an invisible force. Before Jiang Zushi\'s palm even hit the ground, the ground of Feiyun Valley had already cracked open, revealing large canyons!

Su Yun stuffed a bun into his mouth, his heart pounding, "Old Piao, you\'re not still in the vase, are you?"

The star river outside the treasure vase made him suspect that the person who set the trap was Zuo Songyan. Seeing Jiang Zushi make a move now, he couldn\'t help but worry for the person who set the trap.

"With this strike, Jiang Zushi could shatter the treasure vase. The vase trapped those Saint-Seeking powerhouses, so Old Piao is probably in the vase too..." Su Yun was deeply worried.

Visible fluctuations spread in all directions from Feiyun Valley. After a while, a strong wind howled, hitting the white clouds formed by the dust curtain in the sky.

Standing on the cloud, Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu\'s clothes fluttered in the wind, which took a long time to calm down.

Su Yun looked into the distance and saw Jiang Zushi rising into the air, searching around.

"Could it be that the person who set the trap has already taken the treasure vase and escaped? It seems that this is not the first time they\'ve committed a crime. Anyone who can do it so cleanly must be a great thief." Su Yun was even more certain that the person who set the trap must be Zuo Songyan!

In the sky, the Saint-Seeking powerhouses from various major families were also searching around.

Suddenly someone shouted, "The thief is an old man with white hair! He attacked me in the vase!"

"That\'s right, that person is an old man with white hair, very arrogant!"

"Capture all the old men with white hair near Feiyun Valley, don\'t let any of them go!"

"Send these old men with white hair to the Martial Saint Pavilion in the Sword Pavilion for the Martial Saint to examine!"

Feiyun Valley was in chaos. After a while, Su Yun saw many Saint-Seeking powerhouses escorting old men with white hair from Feiyun Valley to the cloud city.

Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu had just finished breakfast. After tidying up, Su Yun descended from the cloud and said, "Jiangmu, you rest first. I have to go to the Martial Saint Pavilion to give a lecture today."

Xing Jiangmu quickly said, "They are taking the old men with white hair to the Martial Saint Pavilion. If I don\'t go and see, I won\'t be able to sleep!"

Su Yun had no choice but to let him go.

When the two arrived at the Sword Pavilion, Yue Liuxi had someone waiting for Su Yun and handed him the jade token of the Sword Pavilion Master, saying, "Mr. Su, your class is about to start."

Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu rode on a ram carriage to the Martial Saint Pavilion. They saw people bringing in more old men with white hair. What was puzzling was that there were thousands of scholars in and out of Feiyun Valley, but there were also one to two hundred old men with white hair!

Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu entered the pavilion and saw that the spiritual warriors of the Martial Saint Pavilion were on high alert, guarding these old men. A spiritual warrior came over, grabbed Xing Jiangmu, and shouted, "There\'s another one here!"

Xing Jiangmu quickly said, "I\'m not! I\'m the envoy of Yuan Shuo, I\'m only thirty-two years old, not old at all!"

Su Yun\'s gaze fell on the face of the spiritual warrior and he whispered, "Old Piao, are you alright?"

The spiritual warrior was very young and dressed like the other scholars of the Sword Pavilion. He let go of Xing Jiangmu, his eyes flickering, "Mr. Su, are you alright?"

This spiritual warrior was none other than Zuo Songyan, who had used the Great Unification Technique of the Hong Furnace to make his body appear young!

Just then, Martial Saint Jiang Zushi led a group of Saint-Seeking powerhouses from various families into the Martial Saint Pavilion.
