Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Luo Wanyi originally intended to display some means to show that she was not discouraged after her failure and still had the confidence and fighting spirit to fight him again. But upon hearing these words, she was suddenly struck like thunder, her dao heart in chaos, unable to say anything.

Her feelings towards Luo Yujin were both admiration and jealousy, and even a sense of guard. But if Luo Yujin was a human demon, she absolutely did not believe it!

Because of Luo Yujin's bloodline, he had the bloodline of the royal family. He rose to power from the chaos of the Pan Yang Rebellion, and achieved countless military exploits, risking his life. That's how he became the emperor of Da Qin!

How could he possibly be a human demon?

Su Yun's words stunned her, and he no longer paid attention to her. He turned to the yellow-shirted youth, Ying Long, and said, "Hunting and killing demon gods is extremely difficult. If the world's qi is not extinguished, the demon gods will not die. To eliminate the demon gods, one must extinguish their world's qi. But how difficult is it to extinguish the world's qi?"

Ying Long worriedly said, "That's exactly why I find it terrifying. There are only three methods in the world to extinguish the world's qi. The first is for the world's qi to decay and turn into ashes, causing the demon gods to die naturally. The second is to suppress and refine the demon gods, continuously eroding and refining their qi until it is exhausted, causing the demon gods to die naturally. The third..."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "It is the methods of the immortals."

Su Yun's heart trembled slightly. He had seen the second method mentioned by Ying Long.

Suppressing and refining the demon gods, eroding and refining their qi, this method was Ying Long's method. When they were at sea, Su Yun saw Ying Long refining and killing the Nine Headed Dragon.

The Nine Headed Dragon, this demon god, was refined by Ying Long into a talisman!

The other method was the methods of the immortals. Su Yun came from the underground palace of the Ying Huo Continent to the foot of the Bei Mian Great Wall, where he saw the Immortal Sword at the Immortal Palace Altar, and used the Immortal Sword to kill Shen Tu.

That sword turned even Shen Tu's world's qi into ashes, erasing all the imprints related to Shen Tu in the world. The methods of the immortals were truly unimaginable!

As for the first method, the decay of the world's qi into ashes, causing the demon gods to die naturally, Su Yun had never seen it before.

"These three methods, the first method is for their lifespan to come to an end. These demon gods cannot possibly exhaust their lifespan at almost the same time."

Ying Long said, "And suppressing and refining the demon gods takes too long, it takes thousands of years to refine them. Therefore, only the third method is left."

His expression became even more solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "That is someone using the methods of the immortals to slaughter the demon gods you released, in order to achieve a certain goal!"

Su Yun's heart trembled, and Ying Ying, who was sitting on Su Yun's shoulder, propped up her cheeks and suddenly said, "Then Brother Ying Long, what treasure were you looking for in the Ying Huo Continent?"

Ying Long glanced at her and remained silent.

Su Yun secretly praised Ying Ying's intelligence in his heart. With just one sentence, she asked the key question to Ying Long. So he coughed and then said, "When Nine Headed Dragon died, you said that Brother Ying Long wanted to sacrifice him. I once asked Brother why he wanted to sacrifice Nine Headed Dragon. You answered that you wanted to use these demon gods to build an altar and return to the immortal realm. Brother, it seems like you know some secrets that we don't know."

Ying Long hesitated and pondered for a moment before saying, "I did hide some things. I went to the Ying Huo Continent to search for a treasure of the immortals. This treasure fell from the Tian Shi Yuan during the collision with the Ying Huo Continent and disappeared without a trace."

"My father cannot be a human demon!" Luo Wanyi suddenly raised her head and said.

Su Yun and Ying Long glanced at her, and Su Yun said, "Brother, please continue."

Luo Wanyi pursed her lips, wanting to defend Luo Yujin, but remained silent.

"After I descended to the mortal realm, I followed the Holy Emperor to capture and suppress the rebellious demon gods. Later, when the Holy Emperor's lifespan was about to end, he planned to cross the tribulation and ascend, but died under the Immortal Sword. After his spirit left, I did not leave, but continued to stay in this world and experienced several generations of Holy Emperors."

Ying Long continued, "I learned from some demon gods from the Tian Shi Yuan that before the collision, a powerful existence in the Tian Shi Yuan refined this treasure and created an altar, intending to use it to return to the immortal realm. But after the collision occurred, this treasure and the altar disappeared together, so I suspect it fell onto the Ying Huo Continent."

Su Yun's gaze flickered and he said, "In this world, only you have such a fast speed, so you flew to the Ying Huo Continent to search for that treasure."

Ying Long said, "Actually, there are one or two demon gods who have a similar speed, but not many know about this. Later, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find that treasure, so I searched in the heavens, the earth, and the sea, but I still couldn't find it. So I stopped thinking about it and entered the Bei Mian Great Wall to sleep, waiting for those demon gods to be refined."

Su Yun pondered for a moment and said, "So, the treasure you mentioned is?"

"The Immortal Scroll. It is a treasure that records the methods of the immortals."

The yellow-shirted youth with dragon horns gestured and said, "This round and plump thing is mostly written in tadpole script. By using the Immortal Scroll, one can open the passage to the immortal realm and return to the immortal realm!"

"Wait a minute!"

Luo Wanyi interrupted their conversation and summoned a small book monster and pen monster from the spirit realm. The book monster and pen monster worked together to draw a piece of Immortal Scroll, which had various rune patterns on it, resembling tadpoles, with unknown meanings.

Luo Wanyi asked, "Is this the Immortal Scroll that Senior Ying Long mentioned?" 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

"It's this thing!"

Ying Long stood up and looked around in astonishment, "The Immortal Scroll is the demon gods' understanding of the methods of the immortals, recorded and formed into an object that can unleash the power of the immortals. This is the Immortal Scroll! Could it be that you obtained the Immortal Scroll on the Ying Huo Star?"

Luo Wanyi bowed, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "I did indeed obtain the Immortal Scroll."She glanced at Su Yun and spoke in a calm tone, "In the journey to the Yinghuo Continent, I am the ultimate winner and obtained this treasure. Everyone else, including my father and those three gods and demons, are all losers."

Winged Dragon couldn't help but become anxious, "Where is the Immortal Scroll?"

Luo Wanyi sighed, "It was taken by my father."

Winged Dragon couldn't help but feel disappointed and shook his head, "So, in the end, Luo Yujin is the one who won. How could you possibly defeat him? He is a demon who excels at manipulating people's hearts. We suffered heavy casualties when we tried to suppress him."

Luo Wanyi's heart trembled, and she asked with bitterness, "When you mentioned 'back then,' when was it?"

Winged Dragon replied, "About four to five thousand years ago. I still haven't figured out the exact number. I slept for thousands of years. But Luo Yujin's origin is even older than when I descended to the mortal realm. He can be said to be the oldest demon god in this world."

Luo Wanyi fell into silence, unable to believe it.

Su Yun took out the Immortal Scroll he obtained from the Spirit Realm and said, "As for the Immortal Scroll, I have one here. But Winged Dragon, what does the Immortal Scroll have to do with you suppressing and refining the demon gods?"

Luo Wanyi's body and mind shook, and she stared blankly at the Immortal Scroll, saying in disbelief, "Why do you also have one? Where did you get it?"

Ying Ying quickly said, "This one was also obtained from the Yinghuo Continent. Su Scholar not only obtained this Immortal Scroll, but also killed the demon god Shentu and frightened the demon god Feilian to death!"

Luo Wanyi was shocked and suspicious, while Ying Ying looked proud and thought to herself, "You still want to seduce Su Scholar even though you're so average? You won't pass my test!"

Winged Dragon hurriedly approached and exclaimed, "It really is the Immortal Scroll! Even the power of a spiritualist or a sage is not enough to fully unleash the power of the Immortal Scroll. Even gathering the entire world's spiritual energy is still insufficient! Therefore, the divine and demonic spiritual energy of the gods and demons is the most suitable!"

Su Yun's heart trembled slightly, finally understanding what he meant!

Sacrificing the gods and demons was not sacrificing their physical bodies or spiritual essence, but sacrificing their divine and demonic spiritual energy!

As long as the spiritual energy is not extinguished, the gods and demons will not die.

The gods and demons are not necessarily powerful, and some of them cannot even contend with the existence of the Original Realm. However, they cannot be killed because their divine and demonic spiritual energy is constantly flowing and inexhaustible, making their vitality extraordinarily strong.

Therefore, sacrificing the divine and demonic spiritual energy of these gods and demons can unleash the power of the Immortal Scroll, equivalent to the power of an immortal!

"I didn't actually kill Nine Headed Dragon."

Winged Dragon took out a jade token, and Su Yun saw the Nine Headed Dragon's seal on it, which was still moving and silently roaring at him.

"Sacrificing them cannot let them die. If they die, the spiritual energy of the world will dissipate."

Winged Dragon said, "If Miss Luo hands the Immortal Scroll to Luo Yujin, then the one who attacked the demon gods is probably him."

His expression became solemn as he stood up and said, "Now the Western Land is in chaos, people are panicking, and more than half of the people in the Western Land have been possessed by demons, while nearly half of them still believe in the Heavenly Court. This is the time when Luo Yujin is the most powerful. Those demon gods who were killed were most likely victims of his, and most of them were refined into jade tokens by him. I can't defeat him now..."

He looked at Su Yun and suddenly raised his hands to grab the two horns on top of his head. With two sounds, he pulled out a pair of dragon horns and handed them to Su Yun.

Su Yun was at a loss and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Winged Dragon said, "When I went to investigate the place where Luo Yujin was suppressed last time, he ambushed me and severely injured me. Then he suppressed me again. Now he has become even stronger, and I'm sure I can't defeat him. So, take my horns and find Kylin, Tianlu, and Flame Crow. Ask them to join forces with me to deal with Luo Yujin!"

Su Yun asked in confusion, "Why don't you go and meet them personally, Brother?"

Winged Dragon fell silent for a moment and said bitterly, "I can't afford to lose face..."

Ying Ying poked her head out and said unhappily, "Last time, when you were injured, you took off a dragon horn and asked Su Scholar for help. Su Scholar risked his life, but after you recovered, you took the horn back directly. Now, you don't want to lose face, so you even pulled out two horns. Shouldn't you give one to them?"

Su Yun said seriously, "Ying Ying, we are doing this for Brother without expecting anything in return. Even if Brother insists on giving us something, we cannot accept it. How can we ask for benefits like this?" After speaking, he stared at Winged Dragon without turning his gaze away.

Winged Dragon's face turned red and then pale, and he stammered, "This horn molts every five thousand years, so it's fine to give it to you. But it's not the season for me to molt yet..."

He caught a glimpse of Su Yun's eyes and gritted his teeth, "Fine, I'll give you one, just one! I still need to keep one as a decoration, otherwise, people will ask why I'm bald!"

Ying Ying stood on Su Yun's shoulder and reached out her small hand. Su Yun raised his hand and high-fived her.

Winged Dragon quickly said, "There's no time to waste. I'll go search for Luo Yujin's whereabouts, and you immediately find the other gods and demons!"

Su Yun quickly said, "Brother, don't let Luo Yujin catch you and refine you into a jade token!"

Winged Dragon laughed and scolded, then flew away, saying, "Rest assured, my speed is unmatched. Who can catch me?"

He disappeared into the distance.

Su Yun's face showed a worried expression as he said with concern, "Last time, I was caught by someone. Fortunately, I was clever enough to find the flaw..."

Ying Ying looked at Luo Wanyi beside her and raised her hand to lightly touch her own neck, whispering, "Should we silence her? After all, Luo Yujin is her father..."

Su Yun hesitated for a moment, but Luo Wanyi had already regained her composure and said calmly, "To find the gods and demons, the power of the Tongtian Pavilion is not enough. I can help you."Ying Ying instantly became alert, her ears perked up, thinking to herself: "This little girl didn't manage to compete for the position of Pavilion Master, so she wants to take a roundabout way to become the Pavilion Master's wife?"

Su Yun looked deeply into Luo Wanyi's eyes and said, "After all, Luo Yujin is your father, who loves you dearly and has passed the throne to you. How can you gain my trust?"

Luo Wanyi hesitated for a moment, but Ying Ying loudly interjected, "You are not allowed to offer yourself!"

Luo Wanyi glanced at her in surprise, not knowing what kind of books this little book monster had in her head. She said lightly, "I am the ruler of a country. I don't want the Heavenly Court to fool people's hearts, nor do I want the human demons to manipulate public opinion and harm the country and its people. The new school must become the foundation of the country. We must erase the influence of the Heavenly Court and the human demons to grow stronger!"

Su Yun still looked straight into her eyes, as if trying to see into her soul, and shook his head, "Still not enough. I need to know your real thoughts."

Luo Wanyi gritted her teeth and said, "I... I don't like having a Supreme Holy Emperor behind me, and a Heavenly Court above my head!"

Su Yun smiled, "That's enough."

But Luo Wanyi didn't stop there, her fighting spirit flaring up as she continued, "I also don't like having a Pavilion Master above my head! I will take back the position of Pavilion Master sooner or later, and bring the Heavenly Pavilion under my control!"

Su Yun nodded gently, patted her on the shoulder, and smiled, "Well said, admirable spirit. Go and get things done."
