Chapter 145 – Master of the Tower
"Tian Dao Ling..."
The God King and the Old Demon King in the deserted area looked solemn. The token that Xue Qingfu had just taken out was the Tian Dao Ling of the Tian Dao Academy.
That Tian Dao Ling was no different from other Tian Dao Lings, but its meaning to them was like a bolt from the blue!
Xue Qingfu walked out of the God King\'s Palace and the palace door closed behind him with a bang.
Zhou Yanxiang\'s exclamation came, "God King, Old Demon King, what are you doing? We have an alliance... Aren\'t you afraid of my Seven Great Aristocratic Families..."
"You can\'t fight him!"
There was a violent shock in the God King\'s Palace. Not only did the God King and the Old Demon King take action, but the Heavenly Generals and the other Demon Kings also joined in the fight. The outcome of this battle was already determined.
After a moment, the doors of the God King\'s Palace opened wide, and the God King walked out with killing intent, throwing Zhou Yanxiang\'s head at Xue Qingfu\'s feet.
Xue Qingfu nodded and walked away, saying, "I have found the immortal body you are looking for. He is a doctor in Shuofang City."
The God King bowed.
Xue Qingfu walked to the Tian Shi Yuan post station. It was late in the day, and the last Candle Dragon Chasing was about to arrive. The old soldiers at the post station were already preparing to fend off the invasion of demons and monsters.
Xue Qingfu looked into the distance and saw that the Tian Shi Yuan was exceptionally beautiful under the night sky, with jade palaces and towers rising from the ground. Ancient tombs had turned into gorgeous buildings, and ghosts and gods were visiting friends and relatives.
The Eastern Master\'s carriage was driving in the sky, and the two of them looked at each other from afar. Xue Qingfu bowed in salute.
The Eastern Master opened the curtain and nodded in return before driving away.
The Eastern Master looked at the darkness of the Tian Shi Yuan and whispered, "I saw him in the deepest part of his labyrinth-like mind, and a face slowly emerged from the thousands of other faces, becoming clearer and clearer... Strange, why hasn\'t Su Xiaoge returned my Long Xiang yet?"
He was quite puzzled and continued his tour.
When it was night in the Tian Shi Yuan, it was still afternoon in Shuofang. After visiting the Tong family, Su Yun went to visit the Lin family, where he met his opponent.
Lin Qingsheng did not challenge him. Instead, Lin Zhiyuan, the head of the Lin family, selected some scholars from somewhere, who were probably not even members of the Lin family, to challenge Su Yun and delay his time.
Lin Qingsheng never appeared, but hid in a secret room with the Lin family\'s old immortal Lin Gaoyi, practicing the True Dragon Technique.
Li Zhuxian stepped in for Su Yun and excitedly taught those scholars a lesson.
Su Yun left the Lin family and went to the Wu family, where he encountered more scholars who were selected from somewhere. Wu Sheng did not fight, and it seemed that he was using these scholars to delay time and hiding in the dark to learn the True Dragon Technique.
Su Yun boarded Ye Luo Gongzi\'s Jiao Long Nian and saw that Ye Luo Gongzi had fallen asleep. So he had the coachman take Ye Luo Gongzi back to the Ye family and he himself boarded Li Zhuxian\'s Feng Nian.
"The Seven Great Aristocratic Families have become clever. Others like Zhou Xitai, Wen Zhaozhi, and Tian Ying are probably making the same arrangements."
Su Yun said to Li Zhuxian, "It will be late soon. Let\'s go back to the Wen Chang Academy first. When they are ready, they will naturally come to challenge me."
The Feng Nian was fast, and the big bird was a Tian Feng that could not fly but could only run on the ground.
In the treasure carriage, the young girl Wu Tong\'s eyes flickered, "It\'s easy to make the Seven Great Aristocratic Families challenge you. I can control their demonic nature as long as you submit to me... Huh?"Her face changed slightly, she looked outside, only to see the cloud bridge they were on suddenly broke and moved in the sky, heading straight towards a tall building!
Li Zhuxian and Bai Yuelou also noticed this scene and quickly leaned on the car window to look outside. They were about to crash into the building when suddenly the building split in the middle!
The four people in the phoenix carriage were shocked, and the person who had been secretly protecting and monitoring the carriage was also shocked, not knowing what had happened!
The masters of the various factions in the north and the seven major families all rushed out from the dark and chased after the cloud bridge that suddenly broke.
However, just as they were about to catch up to the bridge, suddenly the building that had split open swallowed the cloud bridge!
One person had already chased onto the bridge and into the split building, but saw the entire building come alive, the space inside the building crackling and reorganizing, causing him to quickly jump off the bridge and hide in the rooms, not having time to search for where Su Yun and the others were sent to in the phoenix carriage.
Meanwhile, on the phoenix carriage, Tian Feng carried Xiao Lou and ran wildly along this strange bridge, only to see the cloud bridge constantly extending downwards.
Everyone leaned half their bodies out of the car window and looked up, only to see the towering building inside twisting and rotating, like a closing mouth, constantly closing!
Below, the pavilions and towers inside the building kept decomposing and reorganizing, the structure changing, revealing the interior space, and the cloud bridge sticking to the hollow walls, with new cloud bridges constantly emerging from the walls, allowing them to continue running down inside the building.
Su Yun calculated the distance and realized that it wouldn\'t be long before the phoenix carriage reached the ground, but when he looked down, he saw that there were still buildings underground and the cloud bridge kept appearing!
"Underneath this building is the location of the Jiéhuī City and Jiéhuī Mountain in the underground."
Just as Su Yun thought of this, he suddenly saw a person standing on a pavilion that protruded from a wall, waving at the phoenix carriage in the distance.
Before he could react, Bai Yuelou, Wu Tong, and Li Zhuxian were involuntarily thrown out of the car, and Li Zhuxian\'s cry came, "My car--"
Tian Feng was still running forward when suddenly the carriage flew up and separated from Tian Feng. The young bird hurriedly stopped and slid a spark of fire on the cloud bridge, finally stopping.
It was still young and couldn\'t fly, watching its little building fall down towards the ground and jumping around in a panic, unable to fly over.
At this moment, suddenly wood and steel flew out from the building and two huge wings were attached to both sides of the little building. The wings flapped and howled as they flew.
The little building was like a big bird, carrying Su Yun inside as it spiraled down.
Tian Feng called out twice and suddenly heard Li Zhuxian\'s call, and hurriedly ran towards Li Zhuxian and the others along the cloud bridge.
Li Zhuxian, Wu Tong, and Bai Yuelou were hanging on a steep cliff with no road ahead or behind. When Tian Feng arrived, the big bird was about to jump over, but suddenly the inside of the building made a clanging sound, and the space reorganized. When the reorganization was complete, they found themselves outside the building.
Tian Feng followed them outside the building, calling out in confusion.
Outside, the streets were crowded with people coming and going, seemingly unaware of the changes to the building.
Everyone looked dazed.
"Where did Senior Brother go?"Inside the building, a small building with wings like a big bird flew out from the inside of the building, flapping its wings and hovering above the hollow space underground.
The small building spread its wings and soared between the huge copper pillars in Shuofang City\'s underground, like flying in a huge forest.
Su Yun saw another strange person standing on one of the copper pillars, with a staircase on the pillar that was too big to be seen with the naked eye.
The strange bird carrying Su Yun continued to fly towards the Jiéhuī Mountain, and he saw several strange people standing on other copper pillars, looking at him.
He stood in the small building, the wind whistling, the strong wind pouring into the building. On both sides of the small building, he could see the precise wooden and iron structure of the machinery, with bearings and gears constantly rotating.
Strange runes appeared on the bearings and gears, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
"The Lou Ban made wooden birds and flew in the sky for three days and three nights without falling to the ground."
Ying Ying, the book monster, came out of his spiritual world, flapped her paper wings and flew up, curiously looking out the window, saying, "Look at these machines, they are driven by runes, and each rune is a magical power compressed into a plane."
Su Yun was about to speak when he suddenly saw someone on one of the wings of the small building, flying towards him.
The strange bird flapped its wings and slowed down, landing on the Jiéhuī Mountain, and the person appeared inside the small building, sitting in front of Su Yun.
Su Yun sat down and stared at the man in front of him. He saw that the man was wearing a blue robe and carrying a book basket with some curled papers inside, like a scroll.
He looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, with calloused hands and a face full of wrinkles from wind and sun exposure, indicating that he worked hard outside often.
His sharp eyes were like knives and guns, able to pierce into people\'s hearts!
He extended his finger and drew a mark on the table, and Su Yun saw a cube mark.
"May I ask if you are from the Tongtian Pavilion?" Su Yun hesitated and asked.
The man grinned and made a "hehe" laugh.
Su Yun was stunned and then realized that he had no tongue in his mouth, which must have been cut off by someone with a sharp blade.
"Don\'t be angry, Master Brother lost his tongue because he was building the Emperor\'s tomb for Emperor Ai. After the tomb was built, Emperor Ai was afraid that he would reveal the layout of the tomb, so he cut off his tongue."
Su Yun looked towards the sound and saw a young man standing on a hill outside the small building.
The young man turned around and walked towards the small building, saying, "When Lou Ban built the Eastern Capital, Master Brother and others were famous disciples of Lou Ban. Emperor Ai ordered them to build the Emperor\'s tomb and killed many of his disciples. The secret techniques created by Lou Ban were also lost because of this. Three years ago, I was selected to enter the Tongtian Pavilion while studying at the Tian Dao Academy. This time, Lou Ban summoned us to choose a pavilion master. We came from all over to Tian Shi Yuan and met Lou Ban, then came to see you. Where is the token of the pavilion master?"
Su Yun took out a small wooden box and asked in confusion, "Are you referring to this thing? However, I am not your pavilion master. Lou Ban\'s friend just asked me to hold onto this box and help him check if the thing he suppressed here is still there."
The young man and the man\'s face changed slightly when they saw the box, and they bowed respectfully.Su Yun quickly said: "Everyone, I am not your sect leader, and I know nothing about the way of architecture. Please choose someone more knowledgeable..."
"The Skyscraper Sect is not about practicing the way of architecture. Architecture is just something passed down by the architects."
The young man stood up and said, "Hasn\'t the architect told you? The architect is not the founder of the Skyscraper Sect. He is also an inheritor. The Skyscraper Sect\'s sect leader has been passed down to his generation, which is already the 35th generation. You are the 36th generation."
Su Yun was stunned. This was different from the information Ye Luo had received about the Skyscraper Sect!
