Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

On the throne sat Luo Wanyi, dressed in men's clothing. She was the minister of the Western region.

She wore an emperor's crown, with the specifications of Yuanshuo. The crown was square and majestic, exuding an aura of grace and power.

Her attire was predominantly red and black, with a wide robe and large sleeves. Her waist was slender after being cinched.

After Luo Wanyi ascended to the throne, she replaced the older generation in the court with a new generation of talented individuals. As a result, many officials in the court were young. Only Jiang Zushi and others who held real power were not replaced.

At this moment, the civil and military officials of Da Qin were full of fighting spirit and not afraid of the chaos caused by the gods and demons outside. On the contrary, they were eager to challenge Su Yun, as if they wanted to replace Luo Wanyi.

They were young and full of ambition.

Su Yun ignored everyone and only focused his gaze on Luo Wanyi.

Few people in the court knew that Luo Wanyi was a woman. Men dominated the world of power, and if it were known that the Holy Emperor of Da Qin was a woman, other countries in the Western region would ridicule Da Qin. They might even see Da Qin as weak and vulnerable, and take aggressive actions against it.

As the Holy Emperor, she had to select talented women and recruit concubines. However, she herself was a woman, so after selecting the concubines, she could only pretend to cultivate a special skill and could not engage in intimate relationships.

Luo Wanyi had always presented herself as a man and carefully maintained her identity. Only when she was studying at the Sword Pavilion would she interact with scholars as Luo Wanyi.

Not many people knew her true identity as a woman.

"The Lord is in the Golden Luandian!"

The voices of Yan Qingzhou, Senior Brother Yaba, and others came from outside. The 215 experts from the Yuanshuo Tongtian Pavilion took advantage of the chaos and entered the imperial city one after another.

Yan Qingzhou, Yi Chaohua, and others were trapped in the Yinghuo Continent, but they were not trapped for long. They also had small celestial ships and had prepared containers to store air.

After Su Yun and the others returned to Tian Shi Yuan, Senior Brother Yaba, Shi Zhenbei, immediately contacted them. Yan Qingzhou and the others knew that they had returned and immediately set off.

In the hall, the civil and military officials immediately stood up and prepared for battle.

Many civil and military officials in the Golden Luandian were experts from the Tongtian Pavilion. When the powerful experts from the Eastern and Western regions of the Tongtian Pavilion saw this, they sympathized with each other but also treated each other as formidable enemies.

Yan Qingzhou quickly scanned the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "Today is the day to select the true Lord of the Pavilion. Please, elders! Bu Qiurong!"

Bu Qiurong stepped forward and placed two Brave Troops lock rings on the ground. He activated his mana, and a Brave Troops gate rose from the ground. Bu Qiurong bowed and said, "Please, elders, step out and preside over justice!"

The Brave Troops gate shook violently, and a huge creature with a white head, black eye circles, and black ears squeezed out of the gate with great difficulty. When its buttocks came out, the flesh on its buttocks trembled like water.

While gnawing on bamboo shoots, the creature looked around and laughed, "Little brats, have you finally decided which short-lived brat will become the Lord of the Pavilion?"

On the other side, another expert from the Yuanshuo Tongtian Pavilion brought a basin of clear water and bowed, "Please, Elder Yuguo, descend and preside over justice!"

The water in the basin rippled and made a loud noise, gradually becoming louder and sounding like a raging storm. Everyone looked and saw that the clear water had turned into a turbulent sea with roaring waves. A deity with a bird's head and human body, standing on two dragons, came riding on the dragons, passed through the water, and landed in the Golden Luandian.

"You old brat..." The creature glanced at him and snorted coldly. It was clear that the two elders did not get along.

Another person quickly painted and hung a painting in the air, saying, "Please, Elder Feifei, descend and preside over justice."

In the painting, a gate opened, and a white cat walked out of it, appearing calm and composed.

Someone else drew a door in the air and said, "Please, Elder Hakutaku, descend!"

The stone door opened, and a white sheep with a single horn and small wings on its back flew out.

"Please, Elder Angry God, descend!"

"Please, Elder Lion God, descend!"

"Please, Elder Tai Sui, descend!"

The six elders of the Tongtian Pavilion each descended, except for Tai Sui who did not come. The six elders looked at each other, and the creature stuck its head out to take a look outside, saying, "The military supplies are being attacked outside, and he won't be able to come for a while. With the six of us elders presiding, it's enough."

The creature then somehow pulled out a bamboo shoot, peeled it, and started eating it. In a muffled voice, it said, "You two little Lords of the Pavilion can begin."

"You're too impatient, Lord Su."

Luo Wanyi remained calm, ignoring everyone else and keeping her gaze fixed on Su Yun. She said slowly, "You should wait a little longer. Your cultivation level is still inferior to mine. You should continue to study and gain knowledge from the new schools of Da Qin and other countries, and strengthen your own knowledge."

She sat there, her aura becoming stronger and stronger. Behind her were also seventy-two Dongtian and the enormous Deep Abyss with the Li Zhu hidden in the Nine Abyss!

"I am giving you the opportunity to grow. On one hand, it is to temper you so that victory won't be too boring. On the other hand, it is to let you handle some matters that I cannot handle conveniently."Luo Wanyi stood up, and as she did, there was a feeling in the Golden Luang Palace that the heavens and earth were tilting towards her. The panther under Su Yun's feet was startled and kept moving backward, trying to leave the Golden Luang Palace. No matter how Xing Jiangmu tried to control it, he couldn't.

Several elders of the Tongtian Pavilion praised each other and nodded. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺

"In the year of my coming of age, I ascended to the throne with great treasures. With the God Emperor above and the Supreme Holy Emperor behind, it seems that the country is stable, but in reality, the real power is elsewhere. Therefore, I want to use your hand to weaken the prestige of the God Emperor, suppress the power of the Supreme Holy Emperor, and win over the gods and demons in the army."

Su Yun stood on the panther's chariot, which was extremely high, even higher than the emperor's throne. However, Luo Wanyi gave people a feeling of looking down on others, as if she was the one who was high above.

"I can even tolerate you until my army crosses the ocean and conquers Yuanshuo. At that time, I will defeat you openly and achieve an unprecedented hegemony."

Luo Wanyi showed a mocking smile. "Unfortunately, you have disappointed me. You couldn't hold back. Su Sect Master, you are not a reliable person."

.

A trace of demonic energy flashed in her eyes, and the panther under Su Yun suddenly ignited a raging fire in its eyes. It roared fiercely and stood up, raising its claws to grab Xing Jiangmu and Su Yun!

Su Yun floated in the air, motionless. The demonic panther's claw that was reaching towards him was immediately blocked by Xing Jiangmu. The power of the man and the panther erupted, causing a surging sound in the Golden Luang Palace.

Xing Jiangmu shouted angrily, lifted the panther, and smashed it hard on the ground, then was kicked away by the panther.

The demonic panther turned over and leaped towards the outside of the palace.

Su Yun still stood steadily in the air, floating there.

Pi Xiu, Feifei, and other elders looked at each other with solemn expressions and whispered, "It seems to be a demonic technique, the demonic panther. This method is not orthodox, but the strength is very strong."

"You don't know what I have done and underestimated me."

Luo Wanyi looked at Su Yun as if she was looking at a clown who brought shame upon himself. She said indifferently, "Together with Yu Liuxi, I followed Master Yu to learn swordsmanship. When Yu Liuxi learned the Sword Art of the God King, I had already learned the Sword Art of the God Emperor, leaving Master Yu with nothing more to teach me. Together with Cang Jiuhua, I followed the Saint of the Martial Saint Sword Pavilion to learn the art of spiritual and physical cultivation. Cang Jiuhua had not yet completed his studies, but I had already become a teacher in the Martial Saint Pavilion."

She was like the sun, shining brightly, making people look up to her, and with an overwhelming imperial power, she suppressed all living beings.

She had the bloodline of a human and a demon, with a mixed bloodline of a human and a demon. It seemed that she could control the spirit and thoughts of everyone, naturally becoming a leader, easily gaining the loyalty of others, and unwavering loyalty!

"I have cultivated the Heavenly Palace Divine Illumination Scripture to achieve unity and break free from the control of the God Emperor. With my cultivation reaching the level of an immortal, I have experienced the selection among the princes, the competition among the Pavilion Masters of the Tongtian Pavilion, and the enthronement ceremony and the canonization ceremony. I have never been defeated!"

She took a step forward, and her first move was the Sword Art of the God Emperor, the highest level of swordsmanship in the Western countries, Yu Daoyuan, the only one who surpassed the Sword Art of the God Emperor and reached the realm of the Original Dao.

Although Luo Wanyi had not yet broken free from the shackles of the Sword Art of the God Emperor, she had freed herself from the control of the God Emperor. Her swordsmanship was not based on the power of the God Emperor, but she had comprehended all the mysteries of the Sword Art of the God Emperor with her own wisdom!

With a movement of her sword, the next moment it arrived in front of Su Yun!

Su Yun raised his hand, and the sword light pierced his palm, bursting into pieces.

"Little Holy Emperor, are you done talking?"

Su Yun clenched his fist, with shattered sword light in his palm, directly crushed into true essence. He waved his hand, and the true essence hidden in the Sword Art of the God Emperor scattered.

Luo Wanyi's pupils contracted, her swordsmanship unfolded, and the void suddenly lit up. Sword lights came from all directions, as fast as lightning, making it impossible to defend against!

At first, Su Yun could still block a few moves, but soon her swordsmanship broke through his defense and pierced his body.

Su Yun swayed slightly, and suddenly all the sword lights converged, forming a single sword. With a seven-colored radiance, the sword stabbed forward!

The power of this sword suddenly increased several times. It was a new technique she created by integrating the Sword Art of the God Emperor and the divine ability of Yue Liuxi!

Crack!

This sword collided with Su Yun's palm and burst like a colorful glass!

Luo Wanyi shouted angrily, and her true essence turned into a pagoda, suppressing down. The divine ability exploded above Su Yun's head, and then runes surged, meteors fell from the sky, turning into the divine ability of magnetic force, attacking from above and below, but still unable to shake Su Yun in the slightest.

"What's the use of saying so much?"

Su Yun allowed these divine abilities to bombard him, and said calmly, "You have many advantages. Your divine abilities are better than mine, your new techniques are better than mine, and you have many saints as your teachers. But what's the use? I have cultivated the Deep Abyss and refined the Deep Pearl."

Behind him, in the Deep Abyss, a bright light came from the darkness, and a Deep Pearl rose slowly, floating in the air above the Deep Abyss.

Above the Deep Pearl were seventy-two caves, which merged into a huge yellow bell. The bell mouth hung diagonally, facing Luo Wanyi.The Candling Dragon emerged on the surface of the massive Yellow Bell Cave, its dragon eyes dim, and a Li Pearl held in its mouth.

"My cultivation speed is faster than yours, and I am a realm higher than you."

Su Yun raised his palm, his five fingers spread out, facing Luo Wanyi.

"Boom——"

An incredibly loud bell sound rang out, shattering all of Luo Wanyi's divine powers like a force that could destroy anything in its path. It sent the young Saint Emperor flying backward, crashing hard against the wall behind the dragon throne!

"So, what use are your schemes and tricks?"

Su Yun lowered his hand, his hands behind his back, stepping in mid-air, walking towards her. The wall next to Luo Wanyi crackled and popped, the wall was pressed until it floated, crumbled, and shattered, with fragments floating in the air.

Su Yun came to her front, smiling and said, "At the same realm, perhaps you could win. But a realm higher than you, what can you use to compete with me?"

"Boom!"

The wall exploded, and Luo Wanyi was sent flying backward.

———Probably tomorrow, updates can return to the normal schedule.
