Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 230 – Handle it alone



Chapter 230 – Handle it alone

Su Yun turned his head and saw that the western teachers of the Tian Dao Academy were all dumbfounded, standing there at a loss for what to do.

Since arriving in the Eastern Capital, Su Yun had been a good student, except for eating a plate of lamb in front of the Golden Luang Hall and killing Mei Guiting, the son of the Yuan Shao Che Lang, at the banquet of Cang Jiuhua, the envoy of Da Qin.

Because it was a fair fight, when Che Lang died and his son wanted to seek revenge on Su Yun, Qiu Shuijing directly suppressed him.

In addition to this, Su Yun had always been very cautious, even when quelling the conflict between the New and Old Schools, he tried to restrain himself and didn't kill anyone. After all, he came to share Qiu Shuijing's burden, not to cause trouble for him.

But it seemed that everyone had forgotten that Su Yun was never a cautious person.

On the contrary, he was bold and ruthless!

He dared to challenge Di Ping, dared to impersonate a top envoy to challenge the seven major families, dared to compete with the old immortals of the seven major families, dared to overturn Xue Shengren's chessboard, and dared to deceive Zuo Songyan.

Countless students from the seven major families had died at his hands!

After arriving in the Eastern Capital, he was just patient, but the wildness in his bones had never been tamed!

"This is a great crime of extermination..." Wen Yanfeng was so excited that he was shaking.

Although the second level of the Eastern Capital was now the examination hall of the Tian Dao Academy, it was also a place of fame and fortune. Countless eyes were watching here. When the incident happened, Su Yun killed Gao Yunyang, the son of the Jingzhao Yin family, then killed Jingnan Tower, and killed Yuan Wujin of the imperial family, causing a sensation on the spot.

Without Wen Yanfeng's instructions, someone had already left quickly, reporting the incident to the big and small families and officials in the Eastern Capital.

Wen Yanfeng became more and more excited. He had killed Gao Yunyang and Jingnan Tower for no reason. Even Qiu Shuijing couldn't suppress him, let alone Yuan Wujin!

The Zongzheng Qing, one of the nine ministers, was responsible for serving the imperial family and had the same status as the Taichang.

The imperial family was the largest landlord and the largest clan in the world. There were princes and kings everywhere, and their power was overwhelming!

Even the emperor feared the power of the imperial family!

"No one can settle this matter!" Wen Yanfeng was so excited that he almost fainted.

Soon, there was a commotion of soldiers and horses, and Jingzhao Yin Gao Qichu took the lead, leading many officials from the Eastern Capital, such as the Left and Right Shao Yin and the Eastern Capital Gongcao Cen Jun, and came with great momentum. On the other side, the Tingwei Qing, who was in charge of the criminal law of the world, also led a group of experts to come, sternly saying, "Who dares to kill?"

Wen Yanfeng hurriedly bowed and said excitedly, "Tingwei, it was Su Yun, the western teacher and sacrificial wine of the Tian Dao Academy who killed someone!"

Jingzhao Yin Gao Qichu did not wait for the Tingwei Qing to speak, and went straight forward, sternly saying, "Did you kill my son?"

On the other side, Zongzheng Qing, one of the nine ministers, also rushed over. It was Yuan Jiuchong, with an extremely gloomy expression, and he sternly said, "Tingwei Lu, why haven't you arrested this savage yet?"Lu Tiangang, the Minister of Justice, stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Su Yun, the thief, drop your spiritual weapon!"

Su Yun raised his hand and threw the Qingxu Sword.

The Qingxu Sword buzzed and emitted a bright light. The Dao light filled the entire examination hall, and the majestic aura of the original Dao realm spread out, pure and thick, invisible and colorless.

Lu Tiangang was about to take the sword, but his expression suddenly changed. "The Dao Saint's sword?"

He quickly bowed to the Qingxu Sword and said in a deep voice, "I am Lu Tiangang, paying my respects to the Dao Saint! As one of the four great myths of Yuanshuo, the Dao Saint, I understand my duty. I am in charge of the laws and prisons of the world. I have to ask the Dao Saint to take back the sword..."

Su Yun waved his hand lightly, and a copper bell flew out of his spiritual world with a loud sound.

Lu Tiangang had not finished speaking when he saw the copper bell. His face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. "The other great myth, the Holy Buddha's spiritual weapon, the Thunder Sound Bell? How could he have two great spiritual weapons from two great myths?"

"Does Lu Daren want to take these two great spiritual weapons?"

Su Yun raised his hand again, and a golden rope shot up into the sky. It was the Immortal Rope. Under his true energy, the Immortal Rope suddenly expanded, revealing its true appearance.

The golden rope stood up straight and suddenly expanded, turning into countless golden characters, forming a mighty torrent.

In the torrent, ancient chanting sounds could be heard, as if the ancient saints of Yuanshuo were each reciting their own articles and explaining their own great ways!

Throughout the ten levels of the Eastern Capital, one could see the sky-reaching light pillars formed by these golden characters and hear the voices of the ancient saints!

"The Confucian Saint's spiritual weapon among the four great myths..."

Lu Tiangang trembled and bowed to the Immortal Rope.

Su Yun took out the Dao Saint's spiritual weapon, the Qingxu Sword, which could be explained by his good relationship with the Dao Saint. But when he took out the Holy Buddha's Thunder Sound Bell and the Confucian Saint's Immortal Rope, it was not just a matter of a good relationship.

Lu Tiangang respectfully stepped back two steps and raised his right arm. His voice was extremely loud and spread far and wide, "Scholars Jing Nanlou, Gao Yunyang, and Yuan Wuji were not proficient in their studies and died at the hands of Su Jiexiu in the debate between new and old schools. The debate between new and old schools was originally a matter of life and death. Even if there were casualties, it was fate and would not be investigated!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire Eastern Capital was in an uproar.

The debate between new and old schools had already ended. The current situation was the examination of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Lu Tiangang said this to directly conclude the case and did not want to review it again.

Anyway, many scholars had died in the debate between new and old schools, and they were directly thrown into the debate.

Lu Tiangang waved his hand and shouted, "Case closed! Dismissed!"He came to the side of Gao Qichu, the Chief Minister of Justice, with his back to Su Yun, and whispered to the dumbfounded Gao Qichu, "Su Shizi made a big show in front of the Golden Palace, humiliating Cang Jiuhua and other ambassadors of Da Qin, unable to give Yuan Shuo any face. Some say that Su Shizi was secretly cultivated by me, Yuan Shuo, specifically targeting foreign experts. I was skeptical at first..."

He paused and continued, "Now it seems to be true. He possesses the spiritual weapons of three out of the four great myths, which shows the attitude of Dao Saint, Confucian Saint, and Holy Buddha. Gao, you only lost a son."

Gao Qichu glared angrily, gritting his teeth and hoarsely asking, "I only lost a son?"

Lu Tiangang nodded and walked forward, whispering, "You only lost a son, don't ruin the entire Gao family. If you have to blame someone, only blame your son for carelessly standing on the wrong side and falling."

Gao Qichu shuddered and looked at the three great spiritual weapons, wanting to make a move but didn't dare.

"The later you stand on the right side, the more stable you stand."

Lu Tiangang's voice came from behind him, "Old friend, don't blame me for not reminding you. The current Eastern Capital is full of treachery..."

On the other side, Yuan Jiuchong hesitated. Su Yun occupied three out of the four great myths of Yuan Shuo. At this moment, anyone who dared to move Su Yun might be surrounded by the scholars, Taoists, and Buddhist masters of the world!

The three great saints of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism had a transcendent status. Even the royal family needed to show them the utmost respect.

If one took the risk of offending the three great saints and forcefully captured Su Yun, it would inevitably lead to internal division within the royal family and an inability to unite against Di Ping.

If the three great saints sided with Di Ping, then anyone who wanted to change the emperor would just be a joke!

He gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.

Gao Qichu saw this and his face turned green and white. He swept his sleeves and left with his entourage.

Behind Su Yun, Ye Luo and other examiners from the Heavenly Dao Academy were dumbfounded, unaware of this outcome.

They originally thought that it would be difficult to resolve this matter and that even Qiu Shuijing could not suppress it. Perhaps even the Eastern Capital Emperor Di Ping himself would need to personally intervene, and it might not be possible to contain the chaos.

In their hearts, the best outcome was for Su Yun to be stripped of his official position, thrown into prison, not sentenced to death, but inevitably imprisoned for a few years.

Unexpectedly, with the three treasures of Su Yun, even Qiu Shuijing didn't need to be alarmed, and Su Yun easily resolved the matter himself.

"Our new Western teacher of the Heavenly Dao Academy has a really big background..."

A Western teacher nudged Ye Luo with his shoulder and whispered, "Ye Luo, you are from the same hometown as Su Jiexiu, do you know his background?"

Ye Luo looked puzzled, "I don't know... I thought he was originally an envoy, then found out he wasn't, then he was, then he wasn't, then he became the leader of the pavilion, and then he was..."He found himself getting more and more confused as he spoke, angrily saying, "What I thought I knew was what he made me think, not what I actually thought!"

The Western teacher from the Tian Dao Academy looked bewildered.

Su Yun retrieved the three Great Holy Spirit Weapons into his own spiritual realm, but saw that Ying Ying's expression was not very good. He smiled and said, "Ying Ying, don't worry. It's a small matter and it's been resolved."

Ying Ying blinked her eyes, wanting to speak but not daring to.

Su Yun didn't mind and beckoned to Wen Yanfeng.

Wen Yanfeng reluctantly stepped forward and came to his side.

Su Yun wiped his hands on his clothes. When he punched and killed Gao Yunyang, he got blood on his hands.

Wen Yanfeng was filled with anger, but he dared not act out. He felt that this young man in front of him was different from the other young men in the city. There was something unique about him, a wildness that was difficult to tame. If he wasn't careful, he could easily be shattered by the person trying to tame him.

"I was sold by my parents when I was young, and I became blind because of it."

Su Yun smiled and wiped the blood on Wen Yanfeng's chest, speaking calmly and gently, "Su Ye is indeed my younger brother. His family is my parents. If you take him and threaten me or them, it won't make me hesitate, it will only anger me."

He let go of Wen Yanfeng and looked directly into his eyes, smiling, "Even if you kill them, I won't submit. I will only kill all of you. I've been trying to be a normal person and not scare others. Don't force me. You can leave now."

Wen Yanfeng's body stiffened, and his steps were a bit stiff. He turned and left, almost falling off the stairs.

In Su Yun's spiritual realm, Ying Ying sat restlessly, constantly turning her eyes and secretly glancing at the back of Su Yun's spiritual head.

Since Su Yun invited Qing Xu Sword, Lei Yin Bell, and Immortal Chain out of his spiritual realm, a face had appeared on the back of his spiritual head.

At this moment, this face was also secretly turning its eyes to observe the book monster Ying Ying.

"Got it, got it!"

Ying Ying's teeth chattered and her face turned pale. "Su Shi-zi, he's been possessed by the demon again..."
