Chapter 173: Riding Dragon Night Journey
After Qiu Shuijing left, Su Yun returned to the Wenchang Academy and studied with peace of mind, making up for various basic knowledge. He also went to the Sword Academy and learned swordsmanship from Li Muge. As a reward for being a private tutor, Li Muge could receive one hundred and fifty zhu of silver coins every day.
Li Muge was grateful beyond words. He could earn a Qinghong coin in just ten days, which made him see his bright future.
However, he did not know that his sister, Li Zhuxian, had to spend three Qinghong coins every day to ask Su Yun for guidance on her cultivation.
"Su surnamed!"
The girl Wu Tong's face was solemn. She suddenly called out Su Yun and whispered, "I sense that demonic energy is brewing in the southwest direction, and something big must have happened there!"
Su Yun's heart was cold, and he stood up and said, "The southwest is Chuanhe City, which is also one of the seventeen states of Shuobei! This matter must be reported to Lao Piaozi and Shuofang Marquis!"
"Wu Tong, you go tell Lao Piaozi and let him inform Shuofang Marquis."
Outside the Gewu Academy, Jiao Shu'Ao immediately flashed away.
Su Yun felt uneasy. After a while, he suddenly saw a white crane soaring into the sky from the academy, heading towards the clouds. It turned out to be Idle Cloud Taoist going to inform Shuofang Marquis.
On the other side, Shuofang Marquis received the news and made a decisive decision, commanding the soldiers in the city to lead an army to ride the divine bird Tianfeng from the Marquis Mansion and rushed to Chuanhe.
Chuanhe City.
This city was not as magnificent as Shuofang City. Shuofang City was built by the Lou Ban, and the buildings in the city were all made by the Lou Ban and his disciples. After that, the Lou Ban was summoned by the emperor to build the capital, and there was no chance to build Chuanhe City.
But after the Lou Ban built the capital, the art of construction became prominent, and many spiritual masters practiced the art of construction, spreading it throughout the country to build buildings in various places. Chuanhe City was also repaired and built a new city because of this.
Like Shuofang, many workers lived in the lower levels of Chuanhe City, poor and destitute, dirty and messy, and few upper-class people would come here.
At this time, there was a lively scene in Chuanhe City, and a team of gray transport carts arrived at the bottom of Chuanhe City.
Chuanhe did not produce gray rocks, so gray rocks from Shuofang City were often transported here, so no one cared.
The leader of the transport cart jumped off the car and cut the reins and the ropes on the back of the mountain beasts, then quickly left.
Other drivers jumped off the other carts and did the same, leaving the gray transport carts there.
The people on the street didn't pay attention to these gray transport carts at first, but when they didn't move for a long time, they couldn't help but become curious.
At this moment, suddenly a ray of light fell from the sky, which was an arrow feather supernatural power, whistling and coming, and nailed in the middle of the road with a loud bang!
The team of mountain beasts was frightened and ran wildly, and the gray transport carts on their backs fell one after another, smashing to the ground!
The carts were made of black stone coffins cut from gray rocks, and they were cracking open as they fell from a high place.
"Quick, go and rob the gray rocks!" Someone shouted excitedly.People rushed towards the gray calamity stone coffin, suddenly, with a loud bang, a black calamity stone coffin exploded, and a black figure shot up into the sky, spreading its wings in mid-air!
"Boom!""Boom!""Boom!"
The gray calamity stone coffins exploded one after another, and the gray calamity monsters flew out one by one, causing chaos and confusion.
The gray calamity monsters in the air screeched and swooped down, grabbing the running people and devouring them in mid-air, leaving nothing but flesh and blood!
On the street, chaos spread.
A few black-clothed spiritualists rushed out and threw a few jade bottles into the gray calamity. The bottles exploded, revealing calamity fire which ignited the gray calamity, causing the fire to spread!
In the Wen Chang Academy of Shuo Fang City at dusk, Ye Luo brought news from Chuan He City and said, "There are gray calamity monsters causing trouble in Chuan He City, eating countless people. The demonic energy there is extremely heavy. The Marquis and my father are discussing sending our border army to support them."
Su Yun frowned and asked, "If there is another place with gray calamity monsters causing trouble, will we have to mobilize the city defense forces of other aristocratic families?"
Ye Luo hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when the girl Wu Tong suddenly said, "There is demonic energy rising in the northeast Wuyuan, and the gray calamity monsters there are likely to cause chaos! And in Yun Zhong, Shou Xiang, Yan Men, Wu Wei, He Tao, Xiu Tu, and other places, there is also demonic energy coming. It is likely that gray calamity monsters will cause trouble there too!"
Ye Luo was shocked and sat down in despair.
Shuo Fang City simply did not have such a large military force to support the other sixteen states in the north!
If these gray calamity monsters ate too many people, they would become almost invincible, like the great masters of the heavenly realm, coming and going like the wind, and even able to move through calamity fire!
If the other sixteen states and counties were defeated, the chaos of the gray calamity monsters would erupt in the north, forming a siege against Shuo Fang City!
At this point, dividing the troops would probably mean that Shuo Fang City would no longer have anyone to resist the seven major aristocratic families!
Ye Luo muttered, "The seven major aristocratic families, this is a very poisonous move..."
Bai Yuelou said, "But the seven major aristocratic families have not openly rebelled yet. It's hard to take action if they haven't done anything."
As night fell, everyone looked towards the southwest, where the light of calamity fire shone in the night sky.
Wu Tong sniffed and whispered, "What a pure demonic energy...this demonic energy is almost at Shuo Fang City! I can't hold back anymore, I'm going to break through to the Yuan Dong realm!"
Her body was full of demonic energy, and the demonic elements were shaking, becoming more and more terrifying. Suddenly, with a loud crack, a chasm opened behind Wu Tong, and demonic energy gushed out of it!
The chasm trembled and made a loud noise, and the demonic energy inside became even more terrifying. Suddenly, the sound of the cry of gods and ghosts came from the chasm, eerie and chilling, making people shudder!
"It feels so good, this demonic nature is so comfortable..." the girl in red moaned.
Su Yun was shocked and withdrew his gaze, looking towards the distance.
"The Marquis of Shuo Fang, the Left Prime Minister, and Saint Xue have been preparing for months. They should have expected this day to come very early, right?"Su Yun suppressed the tremors in his heart and silently thought to himself, "Since they anticipated it, they must have made preparations and won't be caught off guard. However, their plans were all based on the premise that Mr. Shui Jing was still in Shuofang. If Mr. Shui Jing leaves Shuofang..."
His eyes twitched.
It was an ordinary day, and everything happened suddenly.
When night fell, the upper levels of the city lit up their lamps, illuminating the Yun Bridge and towering buildings, lighting up Shuofang.
The lower five floors of the high-rise buildings in Shuofang were where the common people lived.
Everything on the streets was normal, with occasional discarded items falling from the sky and the occasional feces from the mountain beasts. Pedestrians hurriedly walked along the street, covering their noses and mouths. The people living in the lower levels were used to this and would only clean up the dirty things on the streets in the middle of the night.
Someone lit up the lamps on the street side, and the street lamps lit up, some dim and unclear. Someone else lit up the signs of the shops with their lamps.
The monkey demon bartender pushed out a wine barrel and deliberately scooped out a bowl of wine to splash on the door of the shop, letting the fragrance of the wine spread out to attract customers.
The spider demon maid worked hard to wipe the windows on the street, making the clothes inside the glass windows look even more beautiful under the light. A few silkworm demon girls inside were whispering about this year's popular clothing styles.
Windows on the street side opened one after another, and the aroma of food wafted out, dispelling the strange smells on the street.
There were also a few charming girls who pushed open the wall windows facing the street, wearing only a few pieces of clothing and standing in the crimson light, posing and flirting.
In inconspicuous corners, the sewer manhole cover was pushed open, and a few rat demons, with their faces covered and small bundles on their backs, sneaked past the shadows.
The lower world of Shuofang at night was the real world, and the hustle and bustle here had just begun.
Only at this time would the people who had worked hard all day have free time to start their lives. As for the daytime, it was not life for them, but hard work.
At this time, there would be laughter and joy on the streets.
"Boom!"
A mountain carriage fell from the sky and crashed onto the street, startling a big man with a leopard head on the side of the road. He meowed and climbed onto the lamp post, transforming into a strange creature with a leopard head and human body, trembling while hugging the lamp post.
The pedestrians on the road couldn't help but laugh, and some lawless monsters immediately wanted to come forward and search for some wealth. Although the upper world of Shuofang was glamorous, there were often revenge and murder incidents, so no one knew what would fall from the sky.
The huge mountain beast fell from a high altitude and would definitely crush both the beast and the person.
Some unemployed people would take advantage of this opportunity to search for some wealth from the corpse.
At this moment, there was suddenly another loud noise, and another mountain carriage fell from the sky and crashed onto the street, breaking into pieces!
"Boom!"
The third mountain carriage fell.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The fourth, fifth, and sixth mountain carriages fell one after another, shattering on the street. At this time, everyone on the street looked stunned, stopping their footsteps and the work in their hands, and looked up.Above the Shuofang City, there was suddenly a commotion. One after another, the mountain-carrying carts were thrown down from the cloud bridge by something, and the people in the carts screamed in panic. Some tried to jump off the carts, while others climbed to the top of the carts. The figures fell from the sky, dancing and tumbling, and smashed to pieces!
The people at the bottom stared blankly at the scene, some at a loss.
In the sky, there were monsters that looked like gray calamities, wreaking havoc on Shuofang City!
"Sister Xiaoyao!"
A boy's voice came, and just as everyone was stunned, a silver dragon leaped and jumped between the buildings, suddenly soaring into the sky and catching a boy.
The boy rode on the dragon's back, holding a wooden box in his hand. The wooden box suddenly changed, and the tall buildings on both sides suddenly shook. The windows and doors of the buildings suddenly operated automatically, clanging and sealing!
In an instant, one building after another turned into a sealed box from top to bottom!
The gray calamities flew in the air, hitting the buildings. Even if they were hit and bleeding, they could not enter these buildings.
Su Yun sat on Chi Xiaoyao's back, and Chi Xiaoyao flew towards other buildings!
