Chapter 175: I still have something to do, let the emperor wait a moment

The two towering buildings turned into a "人" shape, trapping Wu Shentong inside. People outside couldn't see what was happening between the two buildings, but Wu Shentong was shocked by the crushing pressure. The chains wrapped around his body continued to rotate, creating a cocoon-like space.

He learned the art of capturing and killing enemies, even the likes of Jiao Shu'Ao, a village bully, couldn't escape his grasp. However, the changing buildings were like a huge prison, and he couldn't escape for a while.

"Fortunately, I have practiced the True Dragon Technique!"

Wu Shentong shouted, and the chains turned into flying dragons, breaking through the wall in front of him. He jumped into the hallway, and the two buildings separated, returning to their original state. Wu Shentong ran towards the nearest window, but the building suddenly turned upside down and rotated.

Wu Shentong's blood turned into dragon claws, grabbing the walls around him to stabilize his body. He looked up and saw that the window disappeared, replaced by a wall. The walls around him continued to press him, but he broke through them and found himself in a maze-like space.

He continued to break through the walls, but his cultivation was quickly depleted. He would be trapped and die in this strange building if he continued. Suddenly, the fighting outside stopped, and a passage appeared in front of him. historical

Wu Shentong rushed out of the building and found himself on an empty street. The buildings on both sides had no doors or windows.

"That Su Yun used some method to seal these buildings, trying to disrupt our plan."

Wu Shentong realized that the chaos caused by the monster would not only disrupt the plans of the officials but also accuse the emperor of misconduct. The emperor's misconduct would lead to heavenly punishment, not for the people but for the emperor. The disaster caused by the monster would spread to other provinces, and people would suffer.Shuofang was just one of the seventeen states in the north. If disasters struck the entire north, the seven major families would take action! Countless creatures died and turned into ash monsters. Di Ping was blamed for this and with the support of the people, the Shuofang Marquis could be eliminated.

"However, even if he can seal these buildings, he is still stretched too thin. My seven major families have been preparing for months, and other building clusters have also been attacked by ash monsters, slaughtering the people."

Wu Shentong's eyes flickered, and he was about to spread chaos in Shuofang when suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a corpse fell from the sky.

He looked closely and saw that the corpse was actually an ash monster transformed from a member of the Wu family!

Wu Shentong's heart skipped a beat as he looked up and saw that between two buildings on this street, a cloud bridge had separated from the buildings, trapping the ash monsters with steel bars and cables. Some ash monsters were crushed by the twisted cloud bridge and smashed against the wall, turning into mud.

Some ash monsters were squeezed to death by two cloud bridges in the center!

And those ash monsters trapped in the steel cage were actually shot dead, with not a single survivor!

"Su Yun!"

Wu Shentong gritted his teeth, and his demonic energy spread out like countless tentacles flying in the air. He spread his wings and flew up to the top of the building, looking around. Suddenly, his pupils contracted.

In the distance, Su Yun stood on a broken bridge, which was moving horizontally in the air towards another cluster of buildings. Chi Xiaoyao stood behind Su Yun, constantly shooting arrows at the ash monsters flying in the air!

It seemed that Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao had just killed all the ash monsters and left immediately, leaving Su Yun no time to control the changes inside the building, allowing Wu Shentong to easily break free.

"We can't let this pair of dog men and women ruin our plan!"

Wu Shentong spread his wings and chased after Su Yun at a fast speed. Suddenly, a white crane flew towards Wu Shentong in the night sky.

Wu Shentong was shocked, flapping his wings and hitting the sky, stopping his body. The white crane then turned in the air and transformed into a thin and tall Taoist, standing in the air with his robe fluttering and slowly descending.

"Wu Shentong, I have always regarded you as a friend, and I always thought you were upright and honest. You disappointed me."

The Taoist, Xianyun, landed lightly at the same height as Wu Shentong, and a white light rose behind him, transforming into the white crane Tianxiang, emitting a bright white light that illuminated the night sky.

"This time, you turned into an ash monster and caused trouble in Shuofang, killing countless people. This is a heinous crime."Wu Shentong laughed loudly: "Idle Cloud, I approached you and became friends with you just to find out your identity. I already knew that Zuo Songyan is the disciple of the old gourd in Shuobei, and he has many criminals under his command. You are his capable assistant. Once I find out your identity, bringing down Zuo Songyan will be a piece of cake. Do you really think I want to be friends with you?"

Idle Cloud Taoist's expression darkened. He shook his dusting cloth and said lightly: "Last time, we didn't determine a winner. This time, you have turned into a disaster monster, so you can rest assured to fight to the death."

Wu Shentong activated his energy and divine power, and a divine dragon rushed out, shouting sternly: "Idle Cloud, last time I was only worried about being attacked by Dong Yishi and you, so I let you go. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

On the broken bridge, Su Yun's shoulder shook, and Ying Ying heard the sound of dragons and cranes fighting. She turned her head quickly and saw the fierce battle between the divine dragon and the white crane in the sky. She thought to herself: "Shuofang is indeed the largest city in Shuobei, gathering the masters of the seventeen states in Shuobei. It's easy for two people to come out and reach the Tianxiang realm."

Shuobei is known for its wild folk customs and the fact that it is far from the emperor. The various lords are divided, and they each have their own troops. There are also foreign tribes grazing outside the Great Wall, eyeing them covetously.

Shuobei has many mountains, forests, pastures, and bandits, so there are often hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Su Yun rushed to this group of buildings and saw the disciples of the two major families of Ye and Peng fighting against the invasion of the disaster monster.

Su Yun immediately stepped forward to help the two major families quell the chaos.

Because they had to protect the common people, the two major families were unable to resist the disaster monster, and many people were killed and injured. Su Yun intervened, sealing off each building, making the rescue much easier.

When the chaos caused by the disaster monster was quelled, Ye Luo was about to catch up with Su Yun, but he saw that Su Yun had already rushed to the next chaotic place.

"Sister San, protect me. I'm going to meet the Tian Dao Institute!"

Ye Luo dropped these words and immediately entered a state of meditation. A Ye family woman stepped forward and guarded him alertly.

In Ye Luo's spiritual realm, the Tian Dao Order turned into the gate of the Tian Dao Institute. Ye Luo's soul pushed open the door and strode into the Tian Dao Institute.

There was no distinction between day and night in the Tian Dao Institute. Although it was night in Shuofang City, there were still many people coming and going here, including scholars and teachers.

For many scholars in the Tian Dao Institute, sleeping at night is a waste of time. Their bodies sleep, but their souls hide in the Tian Dao Institute to study.

Ye Luo quickly came to see Di Ping, bowed down to pay his respects, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, something big has happened. The seven major families of Shufang, Zhou, Lu, Wen, Tian, Wu, and Tong have allowed the disaster monster to cause trouble and have ignited the flames of war in the seventeen states..."

"I already know. Lu Taichang has told me."

Di Ping waved his hand impatiently and said, "The diseases of the Wu and Tong families are not worth worrying about. Ye Luo, do you really think Qiu Shuijing has left Shuofang? According to reason, he should have arrived in Dongdu by now. Why hasn't he come to see me?"He paced anxiously, suddenly stopped, muttering to himself: "Qiu Shuijing must be aware of the opportunity to profit, right? He must still want more rewards from me, right? This guy actually dares to threaten me, to manipulate me..."

Ye Luo was stunned and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the disaster caused by the North Star Grey Monster has affected countless people's lives and properties! Your Majesty..."

Di Ping waved his hand: "Ye Luo, didn't you hear me? The affairs in the north will be handled by Lu Taichang properly. The situation in the northwest is not simple. It involves not only the seven noble families' rebellion but also Tianmen Town and my power and influence."

Ye Luo lowered his head, unable to hide his disappointment.

"If the northwest remains stable, those old foxes won't reveal their true colors. If the northwest is in chaos, I will know who has taken my power and influence!"

Di Ping's eyes were sharp and cold as he said: "You are my special envoy. I asked you to stay in the northwest to monitor the Marquis of the Northwest, monitor Xue Qingfu, monitor Zuo Songyan and Tong Qingyun. I didn't ask you to investigate the rebellion of the seven noble families! You don't need to worry about that! Go back and do your job!"

Ye Luo had to get up and leave.

Di Ping watched him go, muttering softly: "Even if the seven noble families don't rebel, I will force them to. Only when they rebel can I have a chance to pacify the northwest and catch those big fish... Strange, why hasn't Shuijing arrived in the capital yet?"

Due to the outbreak of the North Star Grey Monster's turmoil in various places, the candle dragon sedan between the Northwest City and other cities has been suspended. The last candle dragon sedan bound for the northwest stopped far away in the wilderness and did not approach the northwest.

News had already come that there was also turmoil caused by the North Star Grey Monster in the Northwest City, so the land candle dragon felt dangerous and stopped on its own initiative.

The dragon trainer was negotiating with the candle dragon to see if it could take the passengers on the carriage to other cities.

At this moment, the door of a small building on the back of the candle dragon opened, and Qiu Shuijing got off the carriage.

"Shao Ying, you go to the capital by yourself."

Qiu Shuijing waved to the girl on the carriage: "You tell the emperor that I still have something to do, let him wait a bit."
