Chapter 258 – Nightmare demon in a dream

Su Yun's face sank slightly and he said, "Is Cang Jiuhua the new head of the Overseas Skyscraper?"

Cang Jiuhua is extremely powerful. Even after leaving the Eastern Capital, he can still leave behind various means. The conflict between the new and old teachings, the interception of Dao Saint and Holy Buddha by Wenguan Mountain, and the war against the saints are all related to him.

Even later, Qiu Shuijing's plan to eliminate Xue Qingfu and Wenguan Mountain, the failure of the reform and renewal, and the turmoil in the Eastern Capital were all caused by him entering the Eastern Capital to pay homage.

He is extremely wise and Su Yun also admires him as a great enemy.

"Cang Jiuhua is not the head of the Skyscraper."

Liang Shuangyuan shook her head and said, "He is a loser in the competition for the position of the Skyscraper's head. The Overseas Skyscraper is different from your Yuanshuo. In Yuanshuo, the next head can be determined by the approval of the previous heads. But in the Overseas, it is a competition, a life-and-death battle. Only through challenges can one become the head!"

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "The head of the Overseas Skyscraper once competed with Cang Jiuhua for the position of the head, and Cang Jiuhua lost. This means that the age of the head of the Overseas Skyscraper should be similar to Cang Jiuhua."

Cang Jiuhua is very young, a few years older than Su Yun. Although he is exceptionally intelligent, his cultivation realm cannot be too high due to his age.

If Cang Jiuhua is like this, then the head of the Overseas Skyscraper must be the same. n0velusB.c0m

Even if this person is stronger than Cang Jiuhua, it won't be much stronger!

"You can go now." Su Yun waved his hand.

Liang Shuangyuan looked at the dusty sky and then at the wooden box. She bowed and smiled, "The head of the Overseas Skyscraper will be very happy that you personally delivered the sacred object of the Skyscraper!"

Su Yun smiled.

Liang Shuangyuan laughed heartily, turned around, and a gorgeous pair of wings appeared behind him, growing rapidly from his back.

This is a marvelous technique, very advanced. Su Yun can even see the rapid growth of his bones, muscles, tendons, and feathers!

Swish—

Sharp feathers passed by Su Yun, causing a gust of wind that blew his hair and clothes.

Those feathers were like swords, displaying mysterious sword moves in front of Su Yun, piercing through from various places beside Su Yun, but not hurting him at all.

Su Yun remained motionless, allowing him to show off.

Liang Shuangyuan laughed loudly, stopped his moves, leaped into the air, and chased after the soldiers of Da Qin.

"... Hahaha, what a joke! The inheritance of the Fire Cloud Cave is a joke!"

Jing Zhao suddenly stood up straight, his face covered in blood, wounds opening all over his body. His gaze was obsessed and crazy as he shouted, "What saint's knowledge? What eternal inheritance? What 5,000 years of heritage? It's all a joke! It's all worthless! I'm going back to the Fire Cloud Cave and burn all these so-called saint's knowledge to ashes, so they won't harm anyone anymore!"

"Slap!" Su Yun turned around and slapped the old man.

Jing Zhao was stunned, standing there in a daze.

"Lord Su, you're right. Our knowledge is simply inferior to others."

Jing Zhao regained some of his sanity, staring blankly, and said in a low voice, "The knowledge of the saints in Yuanshuo is no match for their Daoist techniques. When the scholars of Yuanshuo learned these divine techniques and fought against foreign spiritualists, they were slaughtered by the enemy..."



His heart suddenly ached.

He had spent his whole life learning things, protecting and inheriting them. In the end, he found that it was all worthless. This kind of gap was something he couldn't accept.

"I can't deceive future generations with these things anymore..."

Jing Zhao suddenly lost his mind again, activated the Fire Cloud, and rushed towards the Fire Cloud Cave, saying, "The 5,000-year heritage is all fake, all deceiving. It can't compare to others. I will destroy it..."

Su Yun frowned and pointed his finger, and the Immortal Rope flew out and bound him tightly.

Jing Zhao was an existence in the Original Realm, and although he was heavily injured by the soldiers of Da Qin and Da Xia, he couldn't be captured by Su Yun.

But the Immortal Rope was a treasure that could even hang Cen Sheng. Plus, Jing Zhao was confused and didn't resist, so Su Yun dragged him back.

Jing Zhao cried loudly, shouting, "It's all a deception! I hate the Fire Cloud Cave. I have guarded it for 5,000 years for these deceiving things!."

He sobbed and suddenly laughed, "Oh, I know why Prime Minister Wen wanted to destroy my Fire Cloud Cave! He saw through these divine techniques of the saints, realizing how backward we are in Yuanshuo! I know why he killed the saints. Well done, well done! If I were him, I would also destroy the Fire Cloud Cave!"

Su Yun pressed down his anger and returned to Donghai County. He said to Yu Qingluo, "Master has gone crazy. We must not let him return to the Fire Cloud Cave, otherwise, there will be real trouble. The 5,000-year heritage of the Fire Cloud Cave may not be preserved. If the divine techniques of the saints in the Fire Cloud Cave are destroyed, it will be a crime for eternity."

Yu Qingluo did not expect such a turn of events and was at a loss. Meanwhile, Jing Zhao was still acting crazy.

Jing Zhao was her teacher and also the master of the Fire Cloud Cave. This time, Jing Zhao came to see Su Yun voluntarily, which was a sign of their teacher-student relationship.

There is a great grievance between the Skyscraper and the Fire Cloud Cave. Jing Zhao's voluntary visit to Su Yun is, in a sense, lowering his status, giving a feeling of seeking help.

Even so, Jing Zhao still came, but he went crazy after seeing Su Yun.

"How can I explain this to the sect? Letting go of the master, he will definitely burn down the divine techniques of the saints in the Fire Cloud Cave. But if I don't let him go, I can't control him..." Yu Qingluo was in a panic.

"Qingluo, let me go."

Jing Zhao regained his senses again and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't destroy the Fire Cloud Cave..."

Yu Qingluo hesitated.

Seeing this, Jing Zhao didn't speak anymore and didn't struggle.

Yu Qingluo whispered, "Master, I encountered a debate between the new and old teachings in the Eastern Capital. I suddenly had doubts about the old saint's divine techniques, so I sought advice from Lord Su on how to pass down the old teachings. Lord Su didn't give me an answer, and neither did you. I want to follow Lord Su to the Overseas to find the answer myself. But I'm worried about you, whether you are willing to go to the Overseas with me?"

Jing Zhao fell silent for a moment and said, "Are you worried that I will destroy the Fire Cloud Cave?"

Yu Qingluo nodded and said, "Prime Minister Wen has repeatedly targeted the Fire Cloud Cave and the Four Great Mythologies, aiming to completely eradicate the old saint's divine techniques. Master has had several conflicts with him because of this. At that time, even if Master was repeatedly defeated by him, he was not discouraged. But now, Master's Dao heart has collapsed, and I'm worried that he will destroy the Fire Cloud Cave with his own hands!"

Jing Zhao sat down cross-legged, his mind moved slightly, and the Fire Cloud flew out and drilled into Yu Qingluo's brow, saying softly, "Qingluo, from today onwards, you are the master of the Fire Cloud Cave!"

Yu Qingluo was stunned and was about to speak, but Jing Zhao interrupted her and said first, "Your senior brother Qiu Yun and others are stubborn and self-righteous. They entered the sect earlier than you and have higher cultivation. They have a lot of connections in the Fire Cloud Cave. You should follow Lord Su to the Overseas for now. After you leave, he will definitely lead other experts from the Fire Cloud Cave to seize power and become the new master. He is another Wenguan Mountain!"

He rarely regained his sanity and said, "My Dao heart is weakened, and the heart demon has invaded my spiritual essence. I can no longer suppress the heart demon as purely as before... "

Spiritual essence is immensely powerful. Now, his spiritual essence already contains doubts about the old saint's divine techniques, believing that the old divine techniques must be destroyed to save Yuanshuo.

Now his reason can still suppress this heart demon, but it can be backlashed by the heart demon at any time.

Jing Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Leave the interior sea, learn and return, and take charge of the overall situation!"

Yu Qingluo knelt down and kowtowed.

At this moment, the Immortal Rope loosened, and Jing Zhao stood up tall, turning into a flame and fleeing far away, saying, "Leave early! When I can't control the heart demon, I will come back to kill you!"

Yu Qingluo stood up, and Jing Zhao had disappeared.

The Immortal Rope flew into Su Yun's waist and turned into a belt. Su Yun was talking to Donghai Marquis Yuan Zhen and said, "Marquis, many villagers in Donghai County have been killed or injured. They are your subjects, so please send people to help treat them."

He was aware of Jing Zhao's abdication to Yu Qingluo, but did not intervene.

Donghai Marquis Yuan Zhen said, "It's my duty. I have already ordered people to go to the countryside to save the people. Don't blame me for not protecting them in the chaos of war. The strength of Donghai County is already at its limit, and we can only barely protect the county town. We really can't protect the countryside."

Su Yun knew what he said was true.

The spiritualists of Yuanshuo, even those at the same realm, are far inferior to the spiritualists of Da Qin and Da Xia, with a difference of almost one realm in strength.

The same goes for the spiritual weapons and spiritual soldiers of Yuanshuo.

The soldiers of Donghai County are already struggling to withstand the aftermath of the battle between the two armies and can only barely protect the county town, unable to protect the countryside.

Ye Luo, Bai Yuelou, and other scholars from Tian Dao Academy had already gone out to save people and only returned to Donghai Inn late at night.

At night, Su Yun couldn't sleep. His mind was filled with the divine techniques of the spiritualists of Da Qin and Da Xia, techniques that he couldn't understand.

He had extraordinary attainments in the old saint's divine techniques and had achieved some accomplishments in the new teachings of Yuanshuo. But now, he couldn't understand them, which showed how many years the overseas countries had surpassed Yuanshuo.

"Burn them all!" Jing Zhao's distorted face kept appearing in his mind, becoming a nightmare in his dreams.

Su Yun got up decisively, put on his clothes, and went to the dock outside. He saw a bright moon rising with the tide, hanging on the other side of the ocean.

Under the moonlight, Yu Qingluo sat on the dock, with her back to him.

Several seagulls on the dock stood on one leg, burying their beaks in their feathers, sleeping soundly.

"Wen Guanshan is the senior of the Fire Cloud Cave and my senior brother. He advocated entering the world and learned from Master Cen, Dao Saint, and Holy Buddha, eventually becoming one of the Four Great Mythologies."

Yu Qingluo whispered, "Thirty-five years ago, after Yuanshuo was defeated and Emperor Ai died, he changed drastically and had a great conflict with Master Jing Zhao. At that time, he was determined to exterminate the Fire Cloud Cave, and Master led his disciples to resist, resulting in enmity between the two sides."

Su Yun remained calm and said, "At that time, Wen Guanshan was no longer Wen Guanshan, but Miao Bi Danqing. He changed his temperament because of Yuanshuo's defeat and killed Emperor Ai and Wen Guanshan."

Yu Qingluo was stunned, shaking her head and saying, "I didn't know about this."

Su Yun walked to her side, and the seagulls on the dock were startled. They moved their feet, making way for him, but their heads remained hidden in their feathers.

When Su Yun passed by, they moved back and continued sleeping.

"In fact, all of this is one case, starting from the fall of the Dragon in the Heavenly Market 150 years ago." Su Yun said.

Before long, Ying Ying woke up and flew out of his spiritual realm, sitting on his shoulder. She was infected by this atmosphere and listened to Su Yun's narration of the grievances and enmities of the past 150 years. She was also one of the main characters in this story.

Ying Ying surprisingly remained quiet.

She yawned a few times and leaned against Su Yun's cheek, gradually falling asleep. A small book monster rode on her dream, running in people's dreams, experiencing the vast world.

On this night, people had many nightmares in their dreams and needed the book monster to help dispel the demons in their dreams.

"Wen Guanshan is looking for the Fire Cloud Cave to completely exterminate it, so Master led the Fire Cloud Cave to hide everywhere. That day, we arrived at the Thunderstrike Valley in Shuofang..."

After Su Yun finished telling the case of the fall of the Dragon in the Heavenly Market, Yu Qingluo whispered, "Master told us that you possess the inheritance of the Fire Cloud Cave and will become a great talent in the future. That's why he had the intention of accepting you as his disciple. But when Wen Guanshan chased after us, he took us into hiding. When we returned, you were already the head of the Skyscraper."

The girl gradually became sleepy, leaning against him and falling asleep.

Ying Ying rode on the book monster and broke into her dream, dispelling the nightmares in her dream and adding many brilliant colors to her dream.

—The missing chapters from yesterday, the lazy pig will try to make up for them as much as possible.
