Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 179 – Above the moon, between life and death

Lu Hao and Lu Taichang looked around at the many Qiu Shuijings, frowning as the situation in Shuofang was beyond their expectations.

"When did you suspect me?" Lu Taichang asked, confused.

"It was your accent," Qiu Shuijing calmly replied. "Although you are a Southerner on the surface, your accent occasionally has a Northern tone. I didn't suspect you before, but you have been targeting me in court, and combined with your accent, I had to pay more attention to you."

Lu Taichang sighed, "It was the accent. I went to live in a Southern village for over 20 years to become a government official in the capital, and I learned their dialect. But even after 20 years, I couldn't completely get rid of my Shuofang accent."

Qiu Shuijing nodded, "I also studied abroad for many years, but I couldn't change my Yuanshuo accent. It's difficult to change one's hometown accent unless you change your physical body."

Lu Taichang laughed, "That's true. But Water Mirror, you shouldn't have chosen me as your opponent. Although we are both officials, the difference between us is beyond your imagination."

He looked around at the many Qiu Shuijings, "150 years ago, the Tian Shi Yuan fell, and the Tian Dao Yuan was ordered by the Emperor to investigate. The Tian Dao Yuan's team couldn't be trusted, so the Emperor sent two envoys to supervise them. One of them was Tong Qingyun, and the other was me."

"After I obtained the 'Fourteen Chapters of True Dragon,' I realized that my opportunity had come. True dragons can be big or small, visible or invisible, they can fly in the sky or dive into the sea, and they can change and hide. They also have long lifespans. I even thought of using the 'Fourteen Chapters of True Dragon' to transform my body and change my appearance. So I had a bold idea."

One of the Qiu Shuijings in front of him asked, "Is your bold idea to take possession of the 'Fourteen Chapters of True Dragon'?"

"No, no! How could I be so petty and only think of taking possession of it? I am a person with great ambitions," Lu Taichang said with a smile. "My idea was, since I can live longer than the Emperor, why can't I be the Emperor? I told Tong Qingyun about this idea, and he also wanted to be the Emperor. We agreed to split the country in half. So we planned for over 150 years."

"In these 150 years, we infiltrated this country inside and out, and many key positions were filled by people from our seven great families. We prepared for this day for so long, and even killed several Emperors," Lu Taichang said proudly. "Our cultivation and strength have reached their peak, and except for the four great myths, there is no one in Yuanshuo who can match us! Water Mirror, you are not my match either!"

"But someone broke our plan. Who was it?" Lu Taichang asked, perplexed. "Water Mirror, before you die, tell me who broke my plan."

Qiu Shuijing shook his head, "I don't know..."

"Then go to hell!" Lu Taichang's aura suddenly became extremely violent, and his blood seemed to boil and stir the world's elemental energy.

"Boom!"Countless true dragons roamed and attacked, using the most powerful true dragon magic, they sent hundreds of Qiu Shuijing flying from all directions!

One by one, the Qiu Shuijing were destroyed, and in the blink of an eye, only one person remained.

Lu Taichang drew circles with both hands in front of him, and countless true dragons swam between his fingers. In an instant, the true dragons coiled like tigers, transforming into a bright mirror.

A beam of light shot out from the mirror and struck the last Qiu Shuijing, crushing him with terrifying force for dozens of miles, even piercing through a building!

Lu Taichang sneered, shook his sleeves, and was about to turn and leave when suddenly he heard Qiu Shuijing's voice coming from the sky: "Lord Lu, the times have already changed."

Lu Hao and Lu Taichang looked up and saw a round moon in the sky, with Qiu Shuijing standing in the center.

Lu Taichang's pupils shrank as he struggled to understand Qiu Shuijing's magic.

"When you were plotting to become emperor, the world's magic had already changed from what it was 150 years ago."

Qiu Shuijing walked towards him from the moon, leaving Lu Taichang stunned. Suddenly, the surrounding mountains changed, buildings disappeared, and there was no trace of Shuofang or the Tianmu Wall.

Everywhere under his feet were circular mountains, like cooled volcanic craters. The starry sky was dark, and the sun was like a candle.

He looked at Qiu Shuijing and saw a huge blue world floating in the sky, with a large piece of land slanting on another piece of land. From this angle, it was extremely shocking!

Lu Taichang was taken aback. He had just been standing on the roof of the Shuofang Tianfang Tower, and now everything around him had become a strange and desolate place!

"The upheaval of the past 150 years has brought an end to the old holy teachings, and the rise of new teachings, but you are still stuck in the true dragon magic, refusing to move forward."

Qiu Shuijing came to his front and said indifferently, "You can't understand my magic."

Lu Taichang laughed out loud, "This is an illusion! No wonder you're called Shuijing, your Water Moon Cave is like a bright mirror. Do you really think you can deceive my mind with a mere illusion?"

"You're wrong!"

Qiu Shuijing stopped and said coldly, "This is above the moon. Look under your feet."

Lu Taichang looked down and saw that the Shuofang Tianfang Tower had come to the moon with him!

"This is impossible!"

"Of course it's impossible, but I made it happen."

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "When I was studying abroad, I and other scholars observed the moon, and we each refined a spiritual weapon and tried to use magic to send it to the moon. I refined a mirror, which sealed a part of my spiritual world. I used this mirror to connect my spiritual world with the moon."

He stood in front of Lu Taichang and looked into the distance at the blue world, saying, "When I think about things, I often come here to stand on the moon and look at our world, which calms my mind. Later, when I returned to Shuofang, I prepared for the future and did many things. For example, I transformed the Tianfang Tower and imprinted my spiritual mark on it."

Lu Taichang's face changed drastically, and he quickly flew out on the backs of two dragons.

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said from behind him, "I turned the Tianfang Tower into my spiritual weapon. This way, I can put the Tianfang Tower into my spiritual world and send it to the moon. The thing that I and my overseas colleagues had been trying to do but never accomplished, I have now done it."

"Bang!" Lu Taichang's face hit an invisible mirror and was blocked.

On the moon, the mirror lay quietly facing the blue world.In the mirror, there was a building, and a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar was looking up at it. An old man's face was stuck to the surface of the mirror, looking extremely eerie.

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the mirror.

The mirror suddenly exploded, and it turned out that Lu Taichang had used his true dragon divine ability to shatter this spiritual weapon!

At the moment when the mirror shattered, Tianfang Tower suddenly appeared on the moon, and Qiu Shuijing and Lu Haolu Taichang also appeared on the moon!

The two immediately realized that there was no air here, and the only air was the meager air they brought from the blue world!

"Mr. Lu, this battle is a matter of life and death!"

Qiu Shuijing shouted and flew into the sky: "If we cannot return to Shuofang before the air runs out, we will die on the moon!"

Lu Taichang's blood exploded, and his divine dragon danced, and he struck towards Qiu Shuijing!

In Shuofang City, Tong Qingyun suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky with an uncertain expression.

A group of gray calamities flew towards the ground in the sky!

"Who is breaking the game?"

Tong Qingyun's face changed. The arrival of the gray calamities made him change color. In an instant, he thought of various advantages and countermeasures. He gritted his teeth and said, "Send orders to other aristocratic families, immediately take action, and sweep away all forces in Shuofang to prepare for the battle against Di Ping!"

Tong Laoxian was taken aback, not knowing why he suddenly said this.

But Tong Qingyun had already given the order and didn't have time to think about it. He immediately flew into the sky and flew towards other aristocratic families.

Tong Qingyun turned and walked towards Wenchang Academy with an uncertain expression.

That mysterious person overturned the chess game in Shuofang. He only did one thing, which was to attract the gray calamities from all over northern Shuo!

The chess game in Shuofang was thus ignited!

The fact that the gray calamities abandoned other states and counties in northern Shuo and returned to Shuofang meant that the seven major aristocratic families could not restrain the power of other states and counties. These states and counties freed up their hands and could support the border army.

It also means that the seven major aristocratic families can no longer delay and must take action immediately!

Because they can no longer delay, the chaos caused by the gray calamities suddenly subsided. If they continue to delay, the enemy will only increase and their strength will only become stronger. When various reinforcements arrive, they will face a situation where they are trapped like turtles in a jar!

Therefore, no matter what, the seven major aristocratic families must rebel tonight!

If they don't rebel, they will be a dead end!

If they rebel, they still have a chance to win!

The only chance for the seven major aristocratic families to win is to crush all opposing forces in Shuofang City in the shortest possible time, raise the banner of righteousness, chop off the head of the Shuofang Marquis, and declare resistance to Di Ping's tyranny!

The Shuofang Marquis, Zuo Songyan, Xue Shengren, and others also have only one way, which is to eradicate the seven major aristocratic families in the shortest possible time!

Their superficial goals are to seize the last opportunity to rebel and quell the rebellion.

But their deeper goals are all related to the Chao Tianque in the other's hands!

Similarly, for Emperor Di Ping, the emperor of the Eastern Capital, his time is running out.

That is to say, Di Ping must also take action and compete for the Chao Tianque.

"Even Emperor Di Ping may have arrived in Shuofang!"

Tong Qingyun gritted his teeth. Suddenly, his body trembled, and he stopped, looking up, only to see Zuo Songyan standing under the mountain gate of Wenchang Academy, looking up at a gray calamity flying by in the sky.

"The way for the seven major aristocratic families to win is to eliminate the Shuofang Marquis, Qiu Shuijing, Zuo Songyan, and Xue Shengren in one night."

Zuo Songyan, dressed in plain clothes and grass shoes, had a relaxed demeanor and said, "Only by eradicating these resistance forces can you have the strength to deal with Di Ping. This Emperor of the Eastern Capital may have already arrived in Shuofang."

Zuo Songyan withdrew his gaze and looked at Tong Qingyun, smiling, "What do you think?"Tong Qingyun sneered, "Old Gourd, is this your scheme? If Di Ping comes, you won't have a good ending! He will take the Facing Heaven Gate in your hands and uproot your power in the north!"

Zuo Songyan laughed heartily, activated his cultivation technique, and his white hair visibly turned black at a rapid speed. His old body was also gradually getting younger!

"I used to think the same way! Until I learned Qiu Shuijing's furnace transformation from Su Shang, and fused it with the Facing Heaven Gate technique!"

Zuo Songyan's body became younger and soon returned to its prime. He laughed, "I have already obtained the first level of immortal cultivation technique! Even if Di Ping comes, I can contend with him!"

In the center of the Saints' Residence, Xue Qingfu's face was calm like an ancient well, showing no ripples.

He sat by the waterside, listening to the sound of the qin. Suddenly, he sighed and stood up, "It's like someone suddenly accelerated time, causing all the conflicts to erupt suddenly. Even I was caught off guard. Am I right, Lao Zhou?"

The door of the Saints' Residence opened, and Zhou Bo and many residents of the town rushed in.

Beside Zhou Bo, the old cow stood up and transformed into a large demon with a bull's head and human body, with bulging muscles. "If the Saint hands over the Facing Heaven Gate amidst the sudden changes in the north, there might still be a chance to turn things around!"
