Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice-Chapter 392: A womans age doesnt matter
Chapter 392: A woman's age doesn't matter
The beautiful woman Chai Xirong helped Chai Qingge suppress his injuries. Other elders of the Chai family came over, and Chai Xirong glanced at Su Yun from a distance, whispering, "Although Qingge is not the top figure among the younger generation of our Chai family, he should still be in the top ten, right? Is the Imperial Court's inheritance really that strong?"
An elder of the Chai family whispered, "The Imperial Court is indeed very strong, after all, it is the residence of the Heavenly Emperor. But the Imperial Court has been completely destroyed, and there is no possibility of any inheritance left! This is the message passed down from the Upper Realm, and it cannot be wrong!"
Chai Fang, one of the five elders, said, "Moreover, the saints who have come to the Imperial Throne in the past few thousand years have also confirmed this. This Su Yun, the Lord of Su, and the Lord of Lou Ban, are very suspicious."
Chai Fang, Chai Yi, Chai Lan, Chai Cui, and Chai Xiu were the five elders of the Chai family with the highest cultivation level, and they were the ones who could directly meet the Divine Lord Chai Yundu. Therefore, they knew many secrets that other high-level members of the Chai family did not know.
Chai Yi said, "The old ancestor Yundu believes that the saints who have walked the path of ascension through the generations do not know the secrets of the Imperial Court. Instead of letting the Imperial Court go to waste, it would be better for our Chai family to explore the secrets of the Imperial Court. Perhaps this is the opportunity for our Chai family to ascend to immortality. Recently, the old ancestor has observed the celestial phenomena and discovered something extraordinary. For this matter, his old man even left his spiritual body, ascended to the heavens, and went to investigate whether the origin of this celestial phenomenon was as he expected."
Chai Xirong was puzzled, "Isn't the old ancestor Yundu in seclusion?"
Chai Cui, a woman, glanced at her and said lightly, "You don't have enough seniority to deserve to know about this matter."
Chai Xirong's face changed slightly, but then she smiled and remained silent.
Chai Xiu, also a woman, not as harsh as Chai Cui, smiled and said, "This time, everyone will know about this matter. There is no need to talk about who deserves to know. In fact, not long ago, the old ancestor Yundu observed the celestial phenomena and found that the Imperial Court is rapidly approaching our Imperial Throne!"
Her words were shocking and truly startled the other high-level members of the Chai family!
Only the five elders knew about this, and the others only received fragmentary information, so they had no idea of the specific content.
Chai Xiu revealing this news was truly astonishing!
Chai Xirong exclaimed, "Is the old ancestor's spiritual body leaving the physical body and ascending to the heavens just to confirm this matter of the Imperial Court approaching?"
Chai Xiu nodded, "Calculating the time, the old ancestor's spiritual body is about to return. Regardless, we need to assess the strength of this Imperial Court visitor. Through his strength, we can gauge the strength of the Imperial Court and the mysterious and unpredictable strength of the Divine Emperor of the Tian Shi Yuan!"
The other high-level members of the Chai family looked towards Su Yun with trepidation.
Su Yun was the Imperial Court visitor they were talking about, carrying the inheritance of the Imperial Court.
Chai Qingge's attempt to test Su Yun's strength was not his own intention, but was instructed by the five elders of the Chai family. The purpose of the five elders of the Chai family was to use this opportunity to test the strength of Tian Shi Yuan and Yuan Shuo!
If Tian Shi Yuan and Yuan Shuo casually appeared and were unrivaled and unmatched, then the Imperial Throne would naturally not have any ill intentions towards Tian Shi Yuan.
But if the abilities of the saints and Su Yun were mediocre, then invading Tian Shi Yuan would be put on the agenda.
The Divine Lord Yundu's spiritual body ascended to the heavens, exploring the anomaly of the Imperial Court and the merging of the two major caves of the Imperial Throne. The five elders of the Chai family wanted to determine the true strength of the Imperial Court before the Divine Lord's return!
Chai Xirong realized, "If the Imperial Court merges with the Imperial Throne, then this Su Yun may not necessarily be on the path of ascension. He may have come from the sea..."
Suddenly, another elder among the five, Chai Yi, said in a low voice, "Don't talk about it here! Lou Ban is coming!"
Lou Ban arrived and apologized, "That kid is a rough country bumpkin, actually making a move to hurt someone. I will definitely teach him a lesson later! Is the nephew seriously injured?"
The experts of the Chai family no longer discussed the previous topic. Chai Xirong smiled and said, "It's difficult to avoid injuries when children play around. There's no need to worry."
Lou Ban glared fiercely at Su Yun and said, "The Chai family is generous, I won't blame you. Come and apologize?"
Su Yun walked over, feeling wronged, and said, "He suspected that I was a collaborator sent by the Southern Cloth Faction and wanted to verify whether I was the immortal body of the Imperial Court. After verifying, he said he wanted to compare the immortal bodies of the Imperial Court and the Imperial Throne to see who is stronger. I intended to come to reason with him, but he insisted on making a move, and the result was..."
Lou Ban was furious, smoke coming out of his head, and said, "You still dare to argue? Don't stop me, I will definitely kill him!"
Before Chai Xirong could stop him, she heard him say this and couldn't help but hesitate, wanting to see if he would really kill Su Yun if she didn't intervene.
However, Ying Ying flew forward and grabbed Lou Ban's sleeve, "Grandpa, calm down! The scholar was forced to act, who made Chai Qingge so weak?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Chai Qingge had just regained consciousness and, upon hearing this, spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted again.
"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him!" Lou Ban seemed unable to resist Ying Ying's power, so he stopped and said angrily.
Chai Xirong ordered someone to take Chai Qingge down for treatment and secretly praised, "The saints who came here earlier are accomplished in Confucianism, law, divination, music, painting, metallurgy, and casting, each with their own extraordinary abilities. This Lou Ban seems to have cultivated his demeanor to the level of a saint, and his cultivation is truly amazing."
"Saint, calm down."
Chai Xirong stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's just a little squabble between children, it's not a matter of life and death. This time, there are many trivial matters in my Chai family during this pilgrimage, and the Divine Lord is in seclusion. I will arrange for the two of you to stay for now, and you can also cultivate using the immortal light. This immortal light will greatly benefit your spiritual bodies."
Lou Ban held her delicate jade hand and felt deeply ashamed, "I have not taught him well, and I have made Xirong laugh. You brat, why don't you come over?"
Su Yun hurried to catch up with him, only to see Lou Ban and Chai Xirong holding hands in front of them. Chai Xirong tried to break free, but Lou Ban held on even tighter.
Ying Ying let go of Lou Ban's clothes and returned to Su Yun's spiritual realm, praising, "Although this old man is lustful, he is good at pretending to be confused and protecting his own interests!"
She took out pen and paper, about to write, but suddenly hesitated, "Lustfulness, pretending to be confused, and protecting one's own interests don't seem like virtues... As the former head of the Tongtian Pavilion, Lou Lao must have virtues that I haven't noticed!"
She pondered, but after a long time, she had to give up, "However, it seems not."
Chai Xirong arranged for them to stay in the center of the Ying'an City, in a side hall next to the Temple of the God Lord, and said with a smile, "You two will stay here for now, and when the God Lord comes out, you can make a pilgrimage."
Lou Ban tried to persuade, saying, "I have no idea how to mobilize the immortal light for cultivation. If Xirong could stay and give some guidance..."
Chai Xirong smiled and said, "Saint Ling is joking. Absorbing the immortal light is a natural thing, so why bother with cultivation?"
She floated away.
Lou Ban stood in front of the hall, looking around for a long time, reluctant to leave.
Su Yun said coldly, "The lifespan of the immortal body is long. Chai Xirong's age is probably old enough to be the great-grandmother of the former head of the pavilion."
Lou Ban turned around, puffed his beard, and said angrily, "What's wrong with being a little older? A woman's age doesn't matter..."
Su Yun continued to pour cold water on him, "I'm worried that the former head of the pavilion will be holding a mountain of gold. And do you know what she looks like? The spatial distortion technique of the Chai family is so advanced, I'm afraid Chai Xirong is a three to five hundred pound old lady."
Lou Ban was furious, and summoned the Dust Curtain Sky, but Su Yun, unwilling to show weakness, also intended to summon his treasure, only to find that his Great Saint Spiritual Weapon was not on him.
The Dust Curtain Sky was taken back by Lou Ban, and the Immortal Searcher was deceived by Hua Hu.
Now the only thing in his hand that could compete with the Dust Curtain Sky was the Magnetic God Sword!
Although his Spiritual Weapon, the Great Yellow Bell, was powerful, Su Yun's abilities were no match for the Dao Saint, so the Great Yellow Bell was far inferior to the Great Saint Spiritual Weapon.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Yun took out the Magnetic God Sword, the sword vibrated violently and buzzed, as if it was about to fly away!
Lou Ban was surprised, and the Dust Curtain Sky immediately turned into a sand cover and fell upside down. At this moment, the Magnetic God Sword suddenly turned into light from Su Yun's hand and slipped away, trying to escape!
The Dust Curtain Sky fell upside down, enveloping the Magnetic God Light, and the Magnetic God Light repeatedly collided, but could not escape.
Su Yun and Lou Ban's faces were solemn, and Ying Ying flew to Su Yun's shoulder, puzzled, "What's wrong with this sword?"
The Dust Curtain Sky gradually shrank, forming a sand ball, enclosing the Magnetic God Light, and said in a deep voice, "How did you obtain this divine light?"
Su Yun recounted the incident of encountering the Magnetic God Light from outside the sky and being attacked by it while traveling in the Little Sky Ship. He said, "I used the Yellow Bell to resist, and the divine light hit the Yellow Bell and turned into a sword that was inserted into it. I originally thought that this was due to the proximity of the two great caves, and the Magnetic God Light was too strong, condensing into a divine sword."
Ying Ying was even more puzzled, "Isn't it?"
Lou Ban said, "Of course not. This divine light has been refined into a divine sword by someone, which means the divine sword has a master. And at this moment, the master of the divine sword is in this Ying'an City!"
Ying Ying became even more confused.
Su Yun said, "In our world, there are magnetic disturbances everywhere, causing various celestial disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis, thunderstorms, hurricanes, sudden rains, and sky fires, all caused by magnetic disturbances. I originally thought it was because the Imperial Seat Cave was too close, causing abnormal magnetic disturbances."
Ying Ying woke up and said, "After we arrived at the Imperial Seat Cave, we found that the distance between the Imperial Seat Cave and the Imperial Shuo was still extremely far, and the influence of the magnetic field of the Imperial Seat Cave on the Imperial Shuo was not as great as imagined. Therefore, there must be someone else causing the magnetic disturbances!"
Su Yun said, "This person is refining the Magnetic God Light into various treasures, causing various celestial disasters in the Imperial Shuo. And I happened to obtain one of his sword treasures by chance."
Ying Ying's face became serious, "That person is far away from the Imperial Shuo, so he cannot retrieve the divine sword. But just now, when you took out the Magnetic God Sword, the sword sensed his true body and tried to fly back to its master! This means that the master of the sword is nearby!"
Su Yun nodded and exhaled a breath, saying softly, "Causing magnetic disturbances, disturbing various places in the world, forcing Ying Long and others to provide disaster relief, that person is in this city."
Lou Ban suddenly said, "I don't agree with you taking risks!"
Su Yun showed a bright smile.
Lou Ban sighed, "The owner of the Imperial Seat Cave is the God Lord Chai Yundu, and the God Lord's strength is unfathomable. The five elders of the Chai family are by no means the most powerful figures in the Chai family. With just the immortal light here, they can create countless divine beings who have achieved the Golden Body. Ying'an is a city as solid as gold soup, hiding countless terrifying existences!"
Su Yun nodded.
Lou Ban was right. The immortal light was so wonderful that it could help to elevate the spiritual body to the Golden Body, so how could the people of the Chai family let it go? Although they were immortal bodies, they would also grow old and die, and their spiritual bodies could bathe in the immortal light, thereby refining into divine beings with the Golden Body.
Although these divine beings were not true gods who imprinted the heavens and the earth like the Eastern Master, their cultivation and strength were absolutely extraordinary!
There were probably not a few such existences in the Chai family.
Lou Ban stared at him, as if trying to see his true thoughts, and continued, "We are weak in power. I am already dead, leaving only my spiritual body. If something happens to you, I can't save you."
Su Yun nodded again.
Although Lou Ban was a saint, without a physical body, only his spiritual body remained, and his strength would drop by one realm. At present, he was at most equivalent to the existence of Qiu Shuijing and Zuo Songyan.
Lou Ban stared at him and said, "I've said so much, pointing out the pros and cons, but you still want to take the risk, don't you?"Su Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take any rash risks. The Immortal Cord is within the Celestial Market Enclave, and now that the two realms are connected, I'll try to forcibly summon the Immortal Cord back. With the Immortal Cord in my possession, the likes of the Chai family and other commoners won't be able to find me at all!"
Lou Ban sighed and said no more.
Su Yun made a decisive move, exhausting all his spiritual energy, desperately sensing for the Immortal Cord, attempting to summon it back.
"Eh?"
His sensing was no trivial matter, and Su Yun exclaimed in surprise, "The Immortal Cord isn't in the Celestial Market Enclave, but in this city! What's going on?"
