Chapter 155 – How about the scenery

Chapter 155 – How about the scenery

"Although this land is plagued by disasters, there are also many righteous people who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, which is why our nation has survived for so long and our fortune continues to flow."

Zuo Songyan led the group from a distance behind Su Yun and Wu Tong. He also saw General Li in the black mist and respectfully bowed, whispering, "Our game against the Seven Great Clans has begun."

Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist listened carefully, their hearts filled with awe.

"The Seven Great Clans have already started attacking us! The elders of the clans, including General Li, are half-demons. They are being increasingly influenced by the growing demonic energy in Shuofang City. If it is not resolved, they may lose control and unleash a massacre due to their demonic nature!"

Zuo Songyan looked towards Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao, who were sitting on Long Xiang's back, and said in a deep voice, "Even if General Li and the others can suppress their demonic nature, they may trigger a heavenly calamity due to the increase in their cultivation."

Idle Cloud Taoist frowned and said, "Whether General Li and the half-demons start a massacre or face a heavenly calamity, it will be a great loss for us. We may even be defeated because of this..."

"That's right. Su Shangshi has seen this point, so he sent Long Xiang to the Temple of Wen Chang Emperor to retrieve the Ten Embroidered Maps and use the righteous qi to refine the demonic energy."

Zuo Songyan's admiration for Su Yun grew, and he whispered, "The Emperor is nowhere to be found, and he had to fight himself. He is truly a hero! The fighting in Shuofang City is becoming more and more dangerous."

He had a complicated expression and sighed, "We owe him too much."

Master Tu Ming asked in confusion, "Why did he bring both humans and demons?"

"That's his cleverness. Go to other clans and see if the elders there are also difficult to control due to their demonic nature!"

Zuo Songyan waved his hand, and the figures behind him quickly dispersed into the darkness.

He walked forward calmly and said, "The demons are his last resort. If he can't save Wen Chang Emperor, then he can only ask the demons to absorb the demonic energy from General Li and the others. But this is the worst-case scenario. The more the demons absorb their demonic energy, the stronger and harder to control they become."

Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist followed him closely.

Zuo Songyan's admiration for Su Yun continued to grow, and he praised, "This is why Water Mirror, Xue Shengren, and I left the demons behind and worked with them. We never told him about the role of the demons, yet he coincidentally came up with the same idea. Such wisdom at such a young age is truly admirable."

The three of them followed Su Yun and the young girl Wu Tong to the gate of Mo Xia Academy.

Su Yun and Wu Tong had already broken into Mo Xia Academy's gate.

Zuo Songyan looked at the gate in front of him and frowned slightly, waving his hand.

Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist disappeared to the left and right.

Zuo Songyan took out a small handkerchief from his pocket and covered his face with it, barely covering his nose. He walked into Mo Xia Academy with his hands behind his back.

The biggest difference between Mo Xia Academy and other academies was that it had over a dozen high-rise buildings built on the mountain, each with more than 130 floors, and each floor was a palace!

The majestic palaces stacked on top of each other, forming towering buildings that reached into the clouds.

These dozen or so buildings were connected by cloud bridges, and scholars studied and lived in these palaces, walking on clouds and moving between jade towers and palaces. They could study, eat, and sleep on the buildings without ever having to come down.

Even scholars could cultivate various divine abilities on the buildings without worrying about damaging them.

Although it was night, Mo Xia Academy was still brightly lit.

Zuo Songyan looked ahead and saw Su Yun sitting on Long Xiang's back, and wherever he went, the gray lamps suddenly went out.Wherever Su Yun went, the calamity extinguished.

Zuo Songyan was taken aback. He arrived at a calamity extinguishing lamp and was about to check why it had gone out when suddenly, all the calamity extinguishing lamps in the first building of the academy under the street fell into darkness!

A scholar who was up late at night was so scared that he curled up in a corner, trembling.

Su Yun passed by the second high building, and all the lights in the building suddenly went out.

Zuo Songyan secretly praised, "Truly the envoy of the emperor, more domineering than Laozi! But among these buildings, there are some that belong to the Shi and Tian families. You don't want to go alone to the Tian family, do you?"

Wutong stood on the dragon's head, and Jiao Shu'Ao's long beard fluttered. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and shot a silent sword light, killing the night guard spirit master of the high building.

Jiao Shu'Ao carried Wutong on his back, his claws reaching out to grab the body of the night guard spirit master, carefully placing it in the corner of the hall.

Wutong floated down from the dragon's head and walked through the main hall of the building. Su Yun stood up on the back of the dragon, standing on top of its head.

And the dragon had already arrived at the Tian family's buildings!

The Tian family's night guard spirit masters stood on high platforms, looking alertly at the darkness pressing forward, blowing their whistle in a hurry.

Their magical powers were mirrors that shone and swept into the darkness.

But at this moment, Su Yun had already arrived in front of the building, raising his right hand with a small wooden box floating in his palm.

The dragon leaped and jumped outside the main hall of the Tian family's second floor. The spirit masters inside the hall were alarmed and rushed out.

Chi Xiaoyao hurriedly stood up, about to use her magical powers when suddenly the wall of the main hall shook and restructured. The Tian family's spirit masters rushed out, some suddenly falling into the air, some being squeezed by the walls on both sides!

Someone had just gotten out of bed, only to find that their room had no door or window, becoming six hopeless walls!

Chi Xiaoyao stared blankly at the scene, seeing the palace in the building turning into countless square-shaped spiritual weapons, constantly recombining. The rushing Tian family's spirit masters were hit by sudden beams, pressed down by extra walls, lifted by arches, or trapped in rooms!

Some chased after them along the corridor, but the distance between them grew farther and farther.

Chi Xiaoyao stared blankly at the scene, not knowing what was happening.

At this time, Ying Ying whispered in the girl's ear, "Look at the wooden box in Su's hand."

Chi Xiaoyao hurriedly looked at Su Yun's right hand and saw a cubic box floating in his palm, made up of countless square-shaped dust particles.

At this moment, those dust particles flew out of the wooden box, turning into various shapes that were exactly the same as the changes in the building's internal space!

"This is..." Chi Xiaoyao was stunned.

"This is the core of the Great Holy Spirit Soldier," Ying Ying said. "To be precise, it should be the core of the Great Holy Spirit Soldier. With this thing, you can control the building and make it change with the changes of the spiritual weapon. Xue Saint had checked this treasure before, but he did not recognize it."

She was quite proud, sitting on Chi Xiaoyao's shoulder, swinging her legs and laughing, "I didn't tell him either!"

As they spoke, the dragon climbed more than a dozen floors with them.

New stairs kept appearing under the dragon's feet, and the upper floors were constantly rotating and changing. The Tian family's spirit masters who rushed up to the upper floors had not yet approached them when they were sent to unknown places by the twisting and changing building.

And behind them, the pursuing Tian family's spirit masters chased after them, only to find that there was no path ahead.The familiar Tian family seemed to have turned into a huge maze, unfamiliar and hopeless. They wandered through room after room and corridor after corridor, but the worst part was that they couldn't find the end.

If anyone had experienced the Lingjie Trial of Xueqing Mansion, they would have found that this maze was exactly the same as the Saint's Maze in Xueqing Mansion!

Unfortunately, no one had the same experience as Su Yun.

Wutong stood on the dragon's head, and Jiao Shu'Ao carried him into the building, suddenly losing their direction.

Jiao Shu'Ao's transformed dragon rushed through the corridor, but the internal space of the building, which was over 400 feet high, was constantly changing without any rules!

Not only did the space within the same floor change, but the space between floors also changed constantly, and the building kept changing itself.

They chased upward for a while, only to find themselves still on the first floor.

"Shu'Ao, break out and go outside the building!" Wutong saw a door and quickly shouted.

Jiao Shu'Ao rushed out, but saw a dozen or so Tian family spiritualists rushing out as well. However, before they reached the door, it had already slammed shut.

The Tian family spiritualists pushed hard on the door, but behind it was a wall that was moving with a cracking sound.

Bang!

The wall suddenly exploded, and Zuo Songyan, with a handkerchief over his face, looked at the stunned crowd and frowned, "We can't get out of here either."

He turned around and punched the newly appeared wall, broke through it, and rushed out. The others hurriedly followed him, and one of the Tian family spiritualists looked at Zuo Songyan and asked tentatively, "Are you... the Left Deputy of the Wenchang Academy?"

Zuo Songyan snorted, "What Left Deputy? I'm not!"

Before the spiritualist could say anything, Jiao Shu'Ao's dragon claw reached out and grabbed the spiritualist's head, stepping on him with a cold voice, "Didn't you see that he was wearing a mask?"

The spiritualist was knocked unconscious by him.

Zuo Songyan broke through the walls all the way, regardless of how the internal space of the building changed, always rushing in the same direction with his head down.

With Long Xiang carrying him, Su Yun kept climbing upward. He held a wooden block in his hand, which kept changing. The young man's heart was trembling, and he whispered, "Senior Sister Xiaoyao, I've met a tough opponent. He's extremely fierce, and I can't even hold him back!"

Chi Xiaoyao's heart trembled, and she quickly asked, "How powerful is he?"

"More powerful than anyone I've ever seen!"

Su Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Although he passed the test quickly, we're also about to find the Emperor Immortal!"

Suddenly, the whole Tian family Immortal Residence shook, and Chi Xiaoyao was horrified to see the whole building upside down. The Tian family's experts gathered in the Immortal Residence, ready to deal with any emergencies, but they didn't expect such a change.

The Immortal Residence was upside down, and those Tian family experts fell down one after another. They were all extraordinary people, and their reaction speed was extremely fast. They immediately used their divine abilities, but the changes in the Immortal Residence were even faster!

In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Residence was completely different. The whole building seemed to come alive, constantly changing, and soon everyone didn't know where they were!

Tian Wuji hurriedly rushed towards the Ten Embroidered Map, but found himself getting farther and farther away from it, with flying bridges and corridors constantly emerging.

Vaguely, he saw Long Xiang carrying two young men and arriving in front of the wall where the Ten Embroidered Map was hanging.

"Imperial envoy Su Shangshi!" Tian Wuji was shocked, but when he looked again, he couldn't see the two people anymore.

Su Yun rolled up the Ten Embroidered Map and put it into his own Lingjie, leaving with Chi Xiaoyao. The young man smiled and said, "Senior Sister, how's the scenery tonight?"
