Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 24 – Town Mystery

Hua Hu opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

He also had the same doubt in his heart. The knowledge of Confucian scholar Tong Xuan was obviously inferior to that of Mr. Ye Hu, so what about Mr. Ye Hu?

However, Mr. Ye Hu died and Huqiu Village was also slaughtered.

"The old classics only talk about knowledge, not application."

Su Yun on the side was still trying to restrain his qi and blood, attempting to bring the qi and blood dragon into his body. He said, "Although Mr. Ye Hu's knowledge is high, he doesn't understand how to apply it."

He raised his head, his eyes flashing with a faint light, "And Mr. Shui Jing said that the old Saint's ultimate skills have fallen behind the times. What is taught in the city now are the new Saint's ultimate skills. Therefore, we must leave the village and enter the city!"

Hua Hu and the three little foxes felt somewhat heavy-hearted. They were fox demons and had both fear and longing for the city.

They had an instinctive fear of the people in the city. Huqiu Village was slaughtered by people from the city, but they also had a longing for the city life.

If they, as fox demons, did not enter the city, they would not be able to learn the latest ultimate skills and would be wiped out sooner or later.

Just as Su Yun had just regained his qi and blood, his face suddenly changed slightly, and the old wounds on his body burst open again. Qi and blood gushed out from the wound, splashing and sizzling!

With the qi and blood dragon entering his body, the excessively violent qi and blood added to his body exceeded his physical limits!

He was able to achieve the third achievement of the Dragon's Roar because he had stolen the qi and blood cloud that the whole village relied on for food, using it to strengthen his own qi and blood, which greatly improved his vitality and blood.

But the key was that his cultivation had improved, but his body had not kept up with it.

His body's heaven and earth could not accommodate so much qi and blood. The heaven and earth furnace in his body was about to burst!

In order to find a way out, the excess qi and blood flowed out of his body through his old wounds. As the qi and blood flowed out, his pupils also gradually shrank, and his eyes were about to be blocked by the sword shadow of the Immortal Sword!

"No wonder Mr. Shui Jing told me that I must cultivate the transformation of the furnace to the sixth level in order to heal my eyes."

Su Yun's face was gloomy, allowing the excess qi and blood to flow out of his body.

His vision also gradually turned black, returning to darkness.

"But I have already achieved the third achievement of the Dragon's Roar. In the future, my cultivation of the transformation of the furnace will only be faster."

The young man raised his head, and thunder roared under his feet. "I will soon cultivate the sixth level of the transformation of the furnace and heal my own eyes!"

The tribulation of the dragon was coming to an end. The thunder gradually faded away, and the clouds gradually became thin after daybreak.

After dawn, a rope quietly descended from above the snake stream, and a small fox with the color of a raccoon held the rope silently and landed on the ground.

As soon as the little fox's front paws touched the ground, it immediately ran into the mountain forest, looking around cautiously.

After a moment, the fox demon found a few pieces of dry cow dung in the mountain forest, came to an old tree, dug a hole, and buried the cow dung in it.

After doing all this, the little fox respectfully knocked its head a few times towards the old tree before standing up and whispering to the old tree.The old tree suddenly shook its branches and leaves, two dim old eyes grew on the trunk, and a mouth appeared on the bark. It said in a gruff voice, "Little guy from Huqiu Village, stop scratching me... You were too ruthless last night. Two old folks from Huang Village died, and the other three ran away for their lives. The people from Niu Family Village also suffered heavy casualties, with the horns of their oxen broken. The whole village is living in fear, secretly poisoning others. They killed over ten experts from Linyi Village and even a monk. But he was caught by the people from the city and is going to be used as a mount."

"Huh, did the people from the city take away all the food in the village?" asked the little fox spirit, Hua Hu.

This fox spirit was Li Xiaofan, who was sent to gather information because she was the cleverest.

"They were caught but not taken away," the old tree spirit replied in a low voice, suddenly shivering.

"In the Fallen Dragon Valley, a dragon was really buried! The dragon turned into a ghost and flew out of the valley, saving the food of the whole village. Two people from the city were also injured and fled in panic."

After gathering the information, Li Xiaofan walked out of the forest and imitated the call of a partridge a few times. Then, she pulled the Immortal Rope a few times.

After a while, Su Yun slid down the rope, followed by Hua Hu, Qing Qiuyue, and Hu Buping.

Su Yun sneezed a few times and rubbed his nose. The sky was too cold. Unlike Hua Hu and the others, who had fur, he almost froze to death in the cold wind last night.

"So much happened last night?" Li Xiaofan told them the news she had gathered. Su Yun and the fox spirits were amazed. "There really is a dragon in the Fallen Dragon Valley? And it turned into a ghost?"

Hu Buping was excited. "The dragon ghost saved the food of the whole village. Did it plan to eat it? I really want to see it!"

"Let's go back and sleep first," Su Yun said as he turned around.

The fox spirits quickly followed him.

However, none of them noticed that a phoenix was standing on the cliff top, slowly preening its feathers.

Su Yun and the others returned to Tianmen Town. The town was bustling with activity, and the people were busy with their own affairs. The young man greeted the townspeople along the way, and they responded warmly. The four foxes lowered their heads and tails, behaving honestly and not looking around.

Tianmen Town was still overcast, except for the sunshine shining on Su Yun's courtyard.

After eating something, they went to bed and fell asleep quickly. They had been exhausted after a night of fighting.

Outside Tianmen Town, a phoenix was hovering in the air. After a while, a woman from the Tong family in Shuofang City walked slowly towards the town, holding a flower umbrella. The phoenix suddenly flew over and perched on the umbrella, and its feathers burst into flames.

The phoenix disappeared and turned into a pattern of a phoenix on the umbrella. The woman was graceful and elegant, walking into Tianmen Town with measured steps.

Tianmen Town was as peaceful as ever. The townspeople were busy with their own affairs. Qu Bo was carving on the Tianmen, and Luo Dama was running the pharmacy. Fang Er was whispering and giggling with the neighboring young people, blushing. Uncle Xu was a sickly old man carrying a jar of medicine waste out to the road and spreading it there. Granny Le was scolding Grandpa Le for peeping at Luo Dama. Grandpa Le sat upright with his hands on his knees, saying nothing.A woman with a flower umbrella walked into the small town and saw a stableman brushing a horse with a brush, a drunk man urinating against the wall, and a beautiful girl doing her makeup in front of a mirror in a building across the street.

Downstairs, a man took off a door panel, probably just married, and the business was later than usual.

There was also a steamed bun shop on the side of the street, with hot steam rising from the steamer, and a waiter with a towel on his shoulder was busy serving customers and shouting.

The woman with the flower umbrella walked with a smile in the middle of the street and headed towards Su Yun's mansion.

At this moment, the noisy voices on the street suddenly disappeared, and time seemed to come to a complete standstill. Everyone turned their heads and stared at the woman with the flower umbrella motionlessly, even the drunk man urinating against the wall at this moment turned his head strangely.

Even more strangely, his urine in mid-air also stopped, the steam from the steamed bun shop paused, and the broken stones on the Tianmen gate carved out by Qu Bo also stopped in mid-air and remained still.

The entire Tianmen Town, only the sound of the wooden clogs of the woman with the flower umbrella stepping on the bluestone slabs remained.

The woman with the flower umbrella sneered, and a cold voice came from under the umbrella, "Playing tricks! The Tong family of Shuofang is here to do business, irrelevant people step aside!"

There was still no sound in Tianmen Town.

The woman with the flower umbrella stopped, raised her flower umbrella slightly, revealing half of her face under her eyes, and said coldly, "If you don't want to be exterminated, then..."

"Little girl, hasn't anyone told you that this is a no man's land? We have already been exterminated."

The woman with the flower umbrella turned around abruptly and looked towards the end of the street at Tianmen Gate.

On Tianmen Gate, Qu Bo started to move again, carving the pattern on the gate, and a clanging sound came.

"There is only one person in this world who can give orders to Tianmen Town, and that person is Emperor Yuan Shuo."

Qu Bo was earnestly carving on Tianmen Gate. Suddenly, the mist around Tianmen Town dissipated, and all the houses, buildings, shops, and townspeople in the town disintegrated at the moment the mist dissipated!

The woman with the flower umbrella was horrified, and at this moment, Tianmen Town was full of tombs, overgrown with weeds, and rubble everywhere!Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om
