Chapter 264 – Aquarius out of the Milky Way
Many scholars of the Tian Dao Academy looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why the Assistant Historian of the External Supervision Bureau suddenly came up with such an outrageous idea.
This is Da Qin, the capital city of Da Qin, the celestial city!
This place is filled with the aristocratic families of Da Qin!
The aristocratic families of Da Qin kill without blinking, and they can use their power to kill hundreds or even thousands of scholars from Da Qin!
Da Qin values martial arts and has powerful Taoist techniques. It is the birthplace of the New School, surpassing the old teachings. Da Qin\'s army has crossed the ocean, defeating Yuan Shuo and forcing them to cede land and pay reparations, and to submit!
As the Assistant Historian of the External Supervision Bureau, to set up a trap here, killing the children of the aristocratic families of Da Qin, and making money to subsidize the External Supervision Bureau, is like sticking your head into the Yan Luo Palace and asking the King of Hell how many ways there are to write the word "death"!
However, for some reason, they found Su Yun\'s proposal to be irresistibly tempting, and their hearts were starting to stir.
The thirty-two-year-old man originally planned to ask the new Assistant Historian for some money to buy a boat ticket back to Yuan Shuo. When he heard this, his eyes lit up.
He represented the face of Yuan Shuo and came to Da Qin as an envoy. In Da Qin, he was not only insulted and beaten, but even Yuan Shuo did not pay him his salary on time.
Even so, it was impossible for him not to hold any grudges.
If he could make a fortune before leaving and vent his grievances, he might not be too miserable when he returned to Yuan Shuo.
"If the Assistant Historian has this intention and means, Xingmou knows a good place."
The thirty-two-year-old man named Xing Jiangmu hesitated for a moment and mustered up the courage to say, "This place is called Fei Yun Valley. It is a valley formed by the fragments of the planet Ying Huo falling onto the continent. The Saint Observation Pavilion of the Sword Pavilion has observed the weather there and said that extraordinary spiritual weapons will surely be born there. I have been to Fei Yun Valley several times..."
"Xing Lao Bo..."
Xing Jiangmu, who looked like he was about to die, trembled and said, "Assistant Historian, you can call me Xiao Xing or Jiang Mu. I have handed over my official seal and now I am just a commoner. I am not worthy of being called Assistant Historian."
"Okay, Xing Mu."
Su Yun\'s eyes flickered as he whispered, "Are you familiar with the geography of Fei Yun Valley?"
Bai Yuelou approached gracefully and whispered, "Is there a hidden place where we can set up a trap?"
"Where is the best place to take advantage?" Ye Luo, the young master, whispered.
"Xing Mu, do you know who the most powerful poison master in Da Qin is?" Li Zhuxian looked up with an innocent face.
...
More scholars from the Tian Dao Academy gathered around, and soon they formulated a hunting plan targeting the children of the aristocratic families.
Wu Tong looked at Su Yun with a smile and secretly praised, "Su Junior Brother, you manipulate human nature and bring out the demons in people\'s hearts. And you say you\'re not half-demon?"
The scholars of the Tian Dao Academy were all geniuses selected from the 108 counties and prefectures of the fifty-six states of Yuan Shuo. They were able to formulate various plans seamlessly.
In the Ling Realm, Ying Ying whispered, "Su Junior Brother, do we lack money? When the scholars left Dongdu, Mr. Shuijing gave you a lot of money."
When Qiu Shuijing controlled the court, he vigorously promoted the overseas study of the scholars of the Tian Dao Academy, which was why twenty scholars of the Tian Dao Academy were able to study in Da Qin.
When they left Dongdu, Qiu Shuijing gave them tens of thousands of Qinghong coins, and he also wrote personal letters to his classmates at the Sword Pavilion, asking them to help the scholars by using the money to establish connections at the Sword Pavilion and allow the scholars to stay in Da Qin.
"Ying Ying, Mr. Shuijing is no longer in the court." Su Yun said softly.
Ying Ying was stunned and exclaimed, "Are you saying that the emperor will no longer allocate money?"
Su Yun pursed his lips and whispered, "Mr. Shuijing has fallen out of favor and has been sent to the Ash Factory as a supervisor. In the power struggle of Yuan Shuo\'s court, these scholars who studied overseas must have lost their source of income. And Emperor Ping probably sees these scholars as my faction..."
He fell silent.
Ying Ying immediately understood what he meant.
If Su Yun couldn\'t come up with more money, these twenty scholars of the Tian Dao Academy would end up on the streets, and they might not even have enough money to buy a boat ticket back to Yuan Shuo!
"Therefore, I must use the rules of Da Qin\'s treasures to make some money and allow these scholars to continue their studies in Da Qin!"
Su Yun smiled and said with a strong conviction, "I will never let them end up on the streets!"
After finalizing the plan, Su Yun stood up straight, looked around, and said, "The fewer people involved in this matter, the better. The fewer, the less likely it is to be exposed. Senior Sister Wu Tong and I will take action, and Senior Sister will provoke the demons in the hearts of the children of the Da Qin aristocratic families! As for the others..."
He looked around at the twenty scholars and smiled, "You are here to study in Da Qin on behalf of Yuan Shuo. You don\'t need to do the dirty work. Just focus on studying quietly."
Bai Yuelou, Li Muge, and others pursed their lips and remained silent.
Su Yun said to Xing Jiangmu, "This matter should be done sooner rather than later! Delay may lead to changes! Xing Mu and I will go through Fei Yun Valley together with Senior Sister Wu Tong!"
Xing Jiangmu nodded solemnly and said, "Let me disguise myself and change my appearance..."
Wu Tong calmly said, "There\'s no need, I am a half-demon."
Xing Jiangmu was surprised and uncertain, thinking to himself, "This generation\'s Assistant Historian is indeed a cunning character. He even brings a half-demon with him. No wonder the Assistant Historian\'s demonic nature is so strong!"
Just then, there was suddenly a commotion outside, and people in Da Qin ran around, shouting loudly, "The radiance of Fei Yun Valley is soaring into the sky! The treasures of Fei Yun Valley are about to appear!"
In the envoy\'s mansion, Su Yun and the others were dumbfounded, while Xing Jiangmu suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Assistant Historian, when did you set up the trap?"
Su Yun murmured, "We were still discussing how to proceed. I don\'t know how to clone myself, so how could I set up Fei Yun Valley?"
Moreover, this was his first time here, and he had no idea where Fei Yun Valley was.
Everyone rushed out of the envoy\'s mansion and saw people in Da Qin running around, spreading the news. Many spiritual cultivators activated their divine abilities, growing wings and flying into the sky.
Some people jumped onto high buildings to watch.
Su Yun\'s thoughts moved slightly, and the dust in the sky turned into a cloud, carrying everyone gently up to a high place to look down.
They saw that on the ground below, the mountains were like crouching dragons, and in a valley, there was indeed a radiance shooting up into the sky!
The radiance was like a fountain, reflecting on the clouds above the valley. It was dazzling, and occasionally, they could even see mature spiritual weapons rising slowly from the valley, turning into streaks of light and flying in all directions.
The radiance became clearer, projecting the forms of the precious treasures in the valley.
The radiance formed the shape of a treasure bottle, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. From a distance, the bottle was not large, but when Su Yun used his Daoist Heavenly Eye to look, he saw that the treasures in the valley reflected by the radiance formed a projection about seven zhang tall!
Obviously, the treasure in Fei Yun Valley was definitely not small. It was probably a heavy-duty spiritual weapon!
What was even more peculiar was that from the bottle, there seemed to be faint bursts of starlight surging out, swirling around the mouth of the bottle, like a galaxy swirling around, extremely strange.
Su Yun strained his eyes and could barely see that the stars surging out seemed to be spiritual weapons flying around the bottle!
"It\'s done so well..."
The scholars of the Tian Dao Academy were dumbfounded.
Li Zhuxian murmured, "It\'s almost identical to what we envisioned, even more perfect. Could it be that someone has set up this trap before us?"
Everyone frowned.
If this had happened before, no one would have thought that this was a trap, but just now, they were discussing how to set up a trap and lure the children of the Da Qin aristocratic families into it.
Su Yun smiled, "This is interesting... But why does the form of this treasure bottle seem familiar?"
Ye Luo whispered, "Senior Brother, do you feel like you\'ve seen this treasure bottle somewhere?"
Bai Yuelou leaned closer, "Do you all feel familiar?"
"I think I\'ve seen it!" Li Zhuxian pondered.
Li Muge also racked his brain but couldn\'t remember where he had seen this treasure bottle. Su Yun asked the other scholars of the Tian Dao Academy, but they had never seen it before.
"We shouldn\'t have seen this treasure bottle, but we have seen similar divine abilities."
Ying Ying suddenly said, "The Left Minister Zuo Songyan of the Shuofang Wenchang Academy, his technique absorbs the power of the stars in the sky. When his divine abilities erupt, they will form a celestial phenomenon of stars, which is somewhat similar to the star system around that bottle."
After she said that, everyone suddenly realized.
They had indeed never seen a treasure bottle or a similar divine ability, but they had seen the divine ability of Zuo Songyan, especially Su Yun.
When Su Yun determined that the Seventh Ling Realm was the center of the universe, Zuo Songyan even asked him how to recalculate the positions of the stars based on the Seventh Ling Realm.
"Techniques and divine abilities are difficult to change, and each person\'s techniques and divine abilities have their own unique imprints."
Su Yun stared at the vision of the treasure bottle in Fei Yun Valley, feeling puzzled, "Could it be that this trap in Fei Yun Valley was set up by Left Minister Zuo? But, isn\'t Left Minister Zuo supposed to be in Shuofang? He said that if Mr. Shuijing\'s reform failed, he would rebel. Could it be that when Left Minister Zuo was studying overseas, he set up a large array to refine treasures in Fei Yun Valley, and now the treasures are about to be refined?"
He couldn\'t help but shake his head, "If that\'s the case, does it mean that Left Minister Zuo is now in Da Qin? That\'s impossible. It\'s probably because someone else has cultivated a similar technique or divine ability..."
Yun Du Heavenly Street, Shuo Yuan Tower.
"Doctor Dong, have you contacted the leaders of the various sects and factions?"
An old voice came, saying, "This time, let\'s make a big profit!"
Chi Xiaoyao, dressed in silver-white clothes, brought fragrant tea and handed it to Doctor Dong and an old man.
"Shuijing, your path cannot be taken in Yuan Shuo, so it\'s my turn now!"
The old man picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and looked through the curtain at Fei Yun Valley, his voice loud, "Make more money, buy large spiritual ships, and lead the countless spiritual cultivators of Yuan Shuo to rebel against the emperor\'s son!"
He put down the teacup. It was none other than the old pious man from the north, Left Minister of the Wenchang Academy, Zuo Songyan.
