Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 162 – My destiny, I take control

The book monster Ying Ying followed the rotating yellow bell and came into his spiritual realm. Finally, she could fly freely as she pleased and asked in confusion, "Another case of following the leader, Brother Xue?"

Su Yun's spirit walked around in the spiritual realm, and it changed with his thoughts, like a revolving lantern. Various paper-cut characters appeared in his spiritual realm.

Ying Ying saw Tong Qingyun, Lin Gaoyi, and other paper people appear, and they lifted another paper person together. That paper person had no face, and the words "Leader Brother Xue" were written on its face.

"Tong Qingyun and others learned about the human demon and dragon spirit from Leader Brother Xue. So, after they had grown their wings, they had the idea of becoming emperor."

Tong Qingyun's paper person had a crown on its head and sat on a paper throne, laughing heartily. Lin Gaoyi, Wen Zhengqing, and others stood around him, looking up and laughing.

"So, they released the human demon and used it to attract the attention of Mr. Qiu Shuijing, Left Prime Minister, Shuofang Marquis, and Mr. Xue, making them suspicious of each other and fight among themselves."

There were paper people of Qiu Shuijing, Zuo Songyan, Shuofang Marquis, and Xue Qingfu in Su Yun's spiritual realm, holding paper swords and fighting each other.

"I entered Shuofang and brought news of Leader Brother Xue. But in fact, except for the old immortals of the seven major families in Shuofang City, no one knew that there was a Leader Brother Xue here. I misled them and made Mr. Qiu Shuijing and others think that this was Leader Brother Xue's plan."

A paper candle dragon carriage appeared, and Su Yun's paper person sat on the carriage and entered Shuofang. The candle dragon spewed smoke from its mouth and nose, making a grumbling sound.

"But later, I exposed the fact that all seven major families had old immortals. So, I solved this case and let the enemy come out of the shadows."

The paper people of Qiu Shuijing, Shuofang Marquis, Xue Qingfu, and Zuo Songyan, who were fighting each other, immediately stopped and turned to fight with Tong Qingyun, Wen Zhengqing, and others.

"That's why I was biased and thought it was Leader Brother Xue's plan. So, I didn't suspect the reason for the seven major families at first."

Su Yun blinked and said, "Then, what if the Eight-Faced Heavenly Lock was not taken by one person but a group of people?"

The paper people who were fighting each other suddenly stopped and looked in the same direction.

Ying Ying also looked over there and saw a cloud floating in Su Yun's spiritual realm. There was a word "I am Yun" written on it.

Under the cloud was a paper-made town, with a heavenly gate outside and eight paper-cut heavenly locks in the town.

"Let's go back to eight years ago when I was six years old."

Su Yun came to everyone's side and waved his hand gently, saying, "Mr. Qiu Shuijing is not here, so I removed him."

Qiu Shuijing's paper person turned around, wiped away tears, and ran away.

"But Left Prime Minister, Mr. Xue, and the old immortals of the seven major families should be here. This time, Qu Bo and others opened the heavenly gate and summoned another world. The movement was too big and could definitely alarm the entire Shuofang!"Su Yun said quickly, "So, these people will all go to Tian Shi Yuan and Tian Men Town. When Tian Men opens, another world will appear, but it won't last long, so the Emperor of Dongdu will not send anyone. However, Tong Qingyun and another old immortal from the seven great families were sent by the Emperor to supervise the team led by Dragon Brother. From this, it seems that the Emperor will generally send out two teams."

Suddenly, there were several faceless paper people in the scene, with the words "official" written on them.

"Also, the God King and the Old Demon King in the deserted area of Tian Shi Yuan should also be there."

More paper figures of the God King and the Old Demon King appeared. Since Su Yun had never seen the true appearance of the Old Demon King, the paper figure of the Old Demon King had a flag with the words "I am the Old Demon King" written on it.

Looking at Tian Men Town, Su Yun said, "When Qu Bo and the others were still there, these people wouldn't dare to act rashly. But after the drastic changes occurred, Qu Bo and the others were killed by the Immortal Sword, giving these people a chance."

Ying Ying saw many paper floods made of paper flying around Tian Men Town. In the flood, Qiu Shuijing's paper figure struggled with a sign saying that the flood was overwhelming.

There was no flood in Tian Men Town, only Su Yun's paper figure lying alone in the town.

"But they can't reveal their true appearance. Even if they seize the Chao Tian Que, they will be discovered by the Emperor. So they all wear masks."

In the flood, the left envoy, Xue Shengren, the old immortals from the seven great families, the Shuo Fang Hou, the Old Demon King, the God King, and the Emperor's official all wore masks and fought noisily.

Qiu Shuijing's paper figure provided voice-over next to them, saying, "Bang! Bang!"

Ying Ying looked again and saw that Su Yun's paper figure was still lying there motionless.

"They all got what they wanted in this battle, but they also didn't get what they wanted."

Su Yun's eyes flickered as he said, "They all got what they wanted because they all got the Chao Tian Que. They didn't get what they wanted because none of them got the complete Chao Tian Que."

In Tian Men Town, Zuo Songyan, Xue Qingfu, Shuo Fang Hou, and the unnamed "official" each held a Chao Tian Que and went home, while the old immortals from the seven great families teamed up to grab the remaining three Chao Tian Que. The God King and the Old Demon King finally got the last Chao Tian Que.

"At this point, everyone got benefits and didn't want to give them up to the Emperor in Dongdu."

Su Yun looked at the unnamed "official" and asked, "Do you dare to hand over the Chao Tian Que to the court?"

The unnamed "official" put down the Chao Tian Que, and Qiu Shuijing's paper figure hurried over and raised a sign that read, "I dare not. If I hand it over, they will kill me. Besides, I also want to become an immortal."

Ying Ying looked at Tong Qingyun's paper figure, and Tong Qingyun also put down the Chao Tian Que and looked up at the girl.

Qiu Shuijing's paper figure hurried over and raised a sign next to him that read, "I want to be the Emperor, so I definitely can't hand it over!"

Ying Ying looked at Xue Qingfu again, and Xue Qingfu's paper figure smiled. Qiu Shuijing raised a sign next to him saying, "I am suspected to be the leader, so I definitely can't hand it over."

The book monster Ying Ying looked at Shuo Fang Hou again, and Qiu Shuijing raised a sign saying, "I am not related to the Emperor, and as a non-relative, it is difficult to maintain my position as a marquis. If I hand over the Chao Tian Que, the Emperor will not give me more benefits. It is better to stay in Shuo Fang and be a local emperor."Ying Ying quickly looked at Zuo Songyan and smiled: "Lao Piao Ba Zi is a hero, he shouldn't have so many ulterior motives!"

Qiu Shuijing had already arrived next to Zuo Songyan, holding up a sign that read: "What makes the emperor so great? He thinks he can make me hand over the Chaotian Gate?"

Ying Ying looked towards the God King and Old Demon King. Qiu Shuijing's paper man was rushing to the Tian Shi Yuan's old no-man's land. Ying Ying quickly waved her hand and said: "No need to go, I know. Tian Shi Yuan is not under the emperor's rule. They call themselves God King and Demon King. To them, the emperor is nothing."

Qiu Shuijing's paper man nodded with a smile, looking like a well-behaved child.

Ying Ying flew up and used a bookmark to hit Su Yun's head, asking angrily: "What's that expression on your face?"

Su Yun quickly replied: "Mr. Shuijing has this expression, I'm just learning from him!"

Ying Ying stopped and looked at him, saying: "So, these old foxes divided the Chaotian Gate among themselves. Although they all wore masks at the time, they knew who each other was and kept it a secret."

Su Yun smiled and said: "The seven old immortals like Tong Qingyun each went to see the leader to learn the True Dragon Technique. Isn't it similar to this? Therefore, I call it another leader case."

Ying Ying stood on his shoulder, holding his ear and asking: "This is just your wishful thinking! You have no evidence!"

"I do."

Su Yun calmly said: "The actions of the Eastern Emperor proved my point."

Ying Ying was stunned and quickly asked: "What actions did the Eastern Emperor take?"

"Xian Yun Dao Chang and Tu Ming Da Shi once told me that the Eastern Emperor wanted to promote the Foundation Building Technique of Tian Dao Yuan to all the states, counties, and districts in the country, but it was delayed for several years."

Su Yun continued: "Lao Piao Ba Zi also mentioned this. Later, Xian Yun and Tu Ming came to learn the Foundation Building Technique of Tian Dao Yuan from me, the Hong Lu Shan Bian Yang Qi Pian. They learned it for a long time before mastering it."

Ying Ying smiled and said: "If one's talent is not high enough, it will indeed take a long time to learn the Hong Lu Shan Bian Yang Qi Pian. Because this technique is the great unification technique created by Mr. Shuijing, it involves a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned during the Foundation Building period. It not only includes the transformation of the five elements and yin and yang, but also the art of creation and refining."

"The problem lies here."

Su Yun smiled faintly and said: "The emperor should know that this technique is difficult to learn, so why promote it to the whole country? Besides scholars like me who can easily learn it in a short time, how many others can do so?"

Ying Ying was stunned.

"The emperor's goal is not to promote this technique to the whole country, but to promote it to Shuo Fang. He wants to expose the person who took the Chaotian Gate. The reason he didn't promote it was because he had found a better way. He dismissed Mr. Shuijing and sent him to Shuo Fang. Mr. Shuijing is the creator of the Hong Lu Shan Bian Yang Qi Pian, so naturally he will pass on this technique."

Ying Ying looked at Qiu Shuijing's paper man, and the paper man held up a sign that read: "I'm a tool."

"Why does Zuo Pushe have to get the Hong Lu Shan Bian Yang Qi Pian? Because he does have the Chaotian Gate, so he can complete the Foundation Building Technique of Hong Lu Shan Bian Yang Qi Pian."Su Yun bowed and asked the old immortal of the Tian family about the death of Tian Kongyue, who was killed by Duke Wen's sword. He said, "Before I came to Shuofang, Tian Wuji, the steward of the school under the Mo Palace, hired Mr. Shuijing as a private tutor to teach more than 20 scholars. He said he wanted to help the Mo Palace win the first place in the Four Great Schools. So, did you instruct Tian Wuji?"

Qiu Shuijing's paper man rushed to Tian Kongyue's side and held up a sign that said, "He's already dead. I'll answer for him."

The paper man changed its sign: "Yes! We also need the Great Unified Technique! And we have three Heavenly Gates!"

Ying Ying, the book monster, couldn't help but laugh and cry, knowing that Su Yun was asking and answering himself.

However, when these secrets were revealed, she felt a strange sense of shock!

There were too many clues and events to connect together, which was extremely difficult!

As a witness, it was already difficult for Su Yun to jump out of these events, let alone see through the truth!

Even Su Yun could find the truth from the clues.

This talent and insight made Ying Ying extremely impressed.

But...

Ying Ying asked in confusion, "But why is Su Yun still lying in Tianmen Town?"

She was referring to Su Yun's paper man, which was still lying motionless in Tianmen Town.

Su Yun looked sad and lowered his eyelids, saying softly, "At that time, he was unconscious. These big shots all treated him as a corpse and no one saw him. Even if they did, no one cared whether he was alive or dead."

Ying Ying looked at the paper man and then at Su Yun.

Suddenly, Su Yun smiled and said, "We've been talking for so long. We're almost back to Shuofang Academy. What do you want to eat for breakfast, Ying Ying?"

"Books!"

Ying Ying jumped onto his yellow clock and followed him out. Looking at the lively streets outside, she happily said, "Books I've never seen before!"

In the morning, the streets of the lower world of Shuofang were filled with the steam of buns, cages, spicy soup, and fried dough sticks, bringing Su Yun and Ying Ying's thoughts back to the mortal world.

Su Yun looked at his paper man and waved his hand, making everything disappear.

"I won't let the same thing happen to me again! I will..."

Su Yun looked at the slightly dark but lively streets in the morning, looked at the busy people coming and going, his face showing a smile, but his eyes becoming more and more determined and sharp.

"I will take control of my own destiny!"

Zhai Zhu: I will take control of your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and vote them all for "Lin Yuan Xing"!
