Chapter 176: The water mirror comes slowly

The maid on the candle dragon carriage nodded and waved her hand, "Master, take care of yourself. I will explain everything clearly to the emperor."

Qiu Shuijing turned and walked into the night. He trusted the maid, and although he couldn't go back for the time being, he believed that she could handle his relationship with the emperor well.

After negotiating with the candle dragon, the dragon tamer promised to give it three times the amount of food, and the candle dragon agreed.

The candle dragon opened its mouth and spat out a dragon pearl. The light from the pearl illuminated more than ten miles ahead, emitting a melodious dragon chant.

The dragon tamer saw Qiu Shuijing's shadow being stretched out and shouted, "The candle dragon is leaving. If you don't get on, I'll leave you in this wilderness!"

Qiu Shuijing waved his hand without looking back.

The dragon tamer became angry and shouted, "Why won't you listen to reason? The whole Shuobei is in chaos, and there are monster attacks everywhere! Going back to Shuobei is just waiting for death!"

Qiu Shuijing laughed heartily, his figure being stretched out, "Shuobei in chaos? I am going there to turn the tide!"

In the strong wind, Qiu Shuijing raised his hand and threw away the imperial edict that Emperor Di Ping had given to him through the Tai Chang, Lu Hao.

"Why should I listen to the emperor's decree? Di Ping, you begged me, not the other way around!"

Qiu Shuijing seemed to have let go of all his constraints and laughed out loud.

The dragon tamer was stunned and jumped onto the dragon's head, patting the candle dragon's head and saying loudly, "Don't mind him, let's go!"

The candle dragon ran and turned in the wilderness, returning to the post road with its passengers on its back.

At the Li family's mansion in Shuofang City, the Marquis of Shuofang stood on the terrace of the Immortal's Residence, with the Li family's ancestral divine weapon and a group of soldiers behind him.

He had no expression on his face, his palm tightly clenched and then relaxed, his palm wet with cold sweat.

"The rebellion in Shuofang is extremely dangerous."

His gaze was like that of a hawk, staring at the Wu family in the distance, and he whispered, "Wu Yuandu, are you waiting for the right moment to attack?"

The Marquis of Shuofang's forehead also had drops of cold sweat. The ancestral divine weapon behind him was the Li family's protector of Shuofang, the holy object from the last emperor, the Execution God's Pavilion.

The Execution God's Pavilion was a gateway, like the Heavenly Gate in Tianmen Town, with five gates, each of which was a plaque inscribed with the great achievements of the Li family's ancestors in battles and wars.

The five gates represented the five ancient families of Shuofang.

The other families who followed the Li family's ancestors at that time also had their own spiritual divine weapons to protect their families, all of which were bestowed by Emperor Yuanshuo.The power of the Punishing God Square is extraordinary. There are square holes in all five gates, where spiritual weapons such as swords and spears can be inserted to unleash divine power, specializing in killing spirits and slaying ghosts!

The Emperor Yuan Shuo gave this treasure to the Li family as a reward for guarding the frontier and resisting foreign enemies, like guarding the gateway to Yuan Shuo. However, even with such a powerful spiritual weapon, the Marquis of Shuo Fang still had no chance of winning.

Because he knew that no matter how chaotic Shuo Fang became, he could not take action. He could only let the spiritual masters of the Li family in his mansion go out to quell the rebellion of the Grey Catastrophe monsters. Because if he acted, the martial arts masters of Wu Yuan Du in the distance would also move!

He had already seen the clouds and lightning above the martial arts masters of Wu Yuan Du, and for a moment, he could see a huge dragon-like creature swimming inside!

That was the magic of Wu Yuan Du!

"Wu Yuan Du is waiting for me to expose my flaws. Now that he is incognito, he can only let the children of the seven major families turn into Grey Catastrophe monsters and slaughter everywhere, creating chaos."

Sweat dripped from the forehead of the Marquis of Shuo Fang, and behind him were many experts in the Li family who were in the Li Yuan and Tian Xiang realms guarding around the Punishing God Square.

"In the chaos, as long as there is a chance, he will attack me!"

The Marquis of Shuo Fang was as clear as a mirror. The rebellion of the Grey Catastrophe monsters was to frame Di Ping. Di Ping was wicked, and the anger of the heavens brought down natural disasters. The seven major families raised the banner of rebellion and resisted tyranny.

The Marquis of Shuo Fang was naturally a pawn of Di Ping and a part of the tyranny!

"So, I can only let the younger generation go to quell the rebellion of the Grey Catastrophe monsters. I cannot show any flaws!"

The Marquis of Shuo Fang was highly nervous. Even when he saw Li Muge, Li Zhuxian, and others in danger from the attacks of the Grey Catastrophe monsters, he dared not rescue them.

Even when he saw the Grey Catastrophe monsters transformed by Wu's magic twisting the cloud bridge, and Li Muge, Li Zhuxian, and others falling from the bridge and about to be shattered, he did not save them.

He couldn't give Wu Yuan Du this opportunity.

When he saw Su Yun standing at the end of the cloud bridge, coming from afar, controlling the buildings of Shuo Fang, suppressing Wu's magic, and rescuing Li Zhuxian, Li Muge, and others, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Su, thank you very much."

With the pressure on the Marquis of Shuo Fang slightly reduced, he silently thought, "But just tonight, I'm afraid our families will be in trouble..."

At this moment, he suddenly trembled slightly, and saw a gust of wind blowing, and a yellow scroll floating in the air with words on it.

The Marquis of Shuo Fang's heart jumped and he quickly looked over, only to see a few scattered lines of words.

"This is..." His heart was beating violently.The heads of the Ye, Peng, Zhu, and Lv families were also extremely nervous, but fortunately Su Yun rushed over quickly, sealing off the buildings that were in turmoil and eradicating the calamity gray monsters.

These aristocratic families freed up personnel to support other building communities, and the turmoil within Shuofang City gradually subsided.

Wenchang Academy.

The Ten Embroidered Pictures floated up, then landed and merged with Wenchang Academy.

Zuo Songyan sat on the doorstep of the Wenchang Emperor's Palace, his gaze deep, quietly watching the mountain gate of the academy.

In front of the academy's mountain gate, Tong Jia's old immortals and Tong Qingyun stood there, their figures bathed in the light of the calamity gray lamp, motionless.

Zuo Songyan was also motionless.

Shuofang City was in chaos, and he did not let the scholars of the academy go to quell the chaos, only letting Tu Ming, Xian Yun, and other leading Western teachers go out.

Now, Wenchang Academy only had a few Western teachers and scholars left.

And his ragtag group had all been sent back to the 108 counties of the Seventeen States.

Shuobei was in chaos, with calamity gray monsters burning and killing, devouring the people, and local forces unable to quell the chaos for a while, so he could only mobilize the power of the Green Forest to quell the turmoil of the calamity gray monsters.

"But, this chaos is not easy to quell."

Zuo Songyan's eyes were dim, watching as the giant dragons walked in the darkness under the cover of night, quietly sneaking into Wenchang Academy.

"If the chaos of the calamity gray monsters in the region is quelled, then it's fine, but if it is not quelled, and other states and counties are defeated by the calamity gray monsters, then Shuofang will be in danger."

Suddenly, the mountains and rivers in Wenchang Academy changed drastically, and the divine dragon died a tragic death with a loud rumble.

Zuo Songyan still sat there motionless: "If the calamity gray monsters in other states and counties recover to their peak state and invade Shuofang..."

His face grew even darker, and what was even more dangerous was the foreign races outside Shuobei.

Li, Lv, Ye, Peng, Zhu and other half-demon generals crossed the Tian Shi Wall to the outside, blocking the foreign army for dozens of days, which was an eye-catching achievement.

But the longer they fought, the more demonic they became, and the faster the heavenly tribulation descended, the more fierce it became!

Calculating the time, these five old ancestors were afraid that they could not hold on any longer.

If at this time, the foreign races suddenly crossed the Tian Shi Wall and killed their way out, the entire Shuobei would fall!

"Shuijing, is this how you covet the power given to you by the emperor?"Zuo Songyan's eyes grew dimmer and he whispered, "When you were here, I could do anything without worry, even if it meant risking my life. But after you left, I became more cautious and even avoided meeting Tong Qingyun. I didn't even dare to leave the Wenchang Academy. I don't know if this new official, Lu Taichang, can be trusted, and I don't even think Xue Shengren and the Marquis of Shuofang can be trusted!"

He murmured, "You are the only one among us in Shuofang who is innocent. Everyone else has their own secrets. If you don't leave, I can work with them and they can work with me, but after you leave, the secrets between us..."

His eyes twitched.

Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew, causing the candles in the Wenchang Emperor's Hall to flicker. A yellow scroll flew in with the wind and drifted into the hall.

Zuo Songyan looked up and saw the words "Blessed by Heaven and Endowed with the Mandate" on the yellow scroll as it flew around the hall. He tried to reach out and grab it, but the scroll suddenly flew out of the hall and down the mountain.

Zuo Songyan hesitated and did not chase after it.

The imperial edict flew to the mountain gate and passed through it.

Tong Qingyun glanced up and then walked away, followed quickly by the old immortal. They disappeared in a flash.

Meanwhile, in front of the Immortal's Residence of the Tianfang Tower, Lu Hao and Lu Taichang stood in the wind, silently watching the chaos in Shuofang. They saw Su Yun and his companions, a person, a demon, and a monster, quell the disturbances in Shuofang City.

"Qiu Shuijing, you have a good disciple," Lu Hao said with a smile. "It's a pity that you are not worthy of him. You are too shallow and cannot compete with me. Although your disciple has some potential, but..."

Suddenly, a chill wind blew and a yellow scroll floated down, landing at his feet.

Lu Hao's gaze fell on the imperial edict, his pupils shrinking. In addition to the emperor's decree ordering Qiu Shuijing to return to the palace, there was another line of words.

"I'm back!"

Lu Hao's eyes twitched and he turned abruptly to look at the Immortal's Residence.

At this moment, the Immortal's Residence of the Tianfang Tower seemed like an unfathomable abyss, evil and ferocious, as if it contained an incredibly terrifying monster inside!

"Lord Qiu, are you in there?" Lu Hao laughed heartily.

There was no sound from the Immortal's Residence, and Lu Hao's eyes twitched as he tentatively took a step forward and walked towards it.

Suddenly, Qiu Shuijing's voice came from behind him, calmly asking, "Is Lord Lu so cautious because you are guarding against something?"Lu Hao quickly turned around, Qiu Shuijing was standing behind him.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Hao laughed out loud, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. "Lord Shuijing, weren't you supposed to have arrived in the Eastern Capital already? Why did you come back?"

"I suddenly remembered something on the way."

Qiu Shuijing said nonchalantly, "I don't have the Eight-sided Heavenly Pagoda in my possession. I can't fool the emperor with Su Yun, who is an immortal body. Without the Heavenly Pagoda, I can't create an immortal body. So..."

"So what?" Lu Hao asked.

"So I came back to try my luck. Maybe I can obtain a few Heavenly Pagodas and return to the Eastern Capital to meet the emperor."

"In these few days, I have nowhere to go, so I have to stay with Mr. Lu." Qiu Shuijing said, "Mr. Lu, do you mind?"

"Of course not!"

Lu Hao laughed heartily, "Lord Shuijing can stay here forever, and I won't mind!"
