Mortal Bones

"Why should I help you?"

Faced with Xu Taiping's question, the Ghost King Red Lion smiled scornfully, and then replied:

"Brother Shu, a foreigner, was once a martial arts expert who was as good as the Northern Marquis of Zhenbei in the Southern Kingdom. But you, a foreigner, can use the power of blood to temper your body to the Golden Essence realm, and your martial arts talent is equally impressive."

"So if you two can fight, this competition will definitely be exciting."

"Is that just that?" After hearing Ghost King Red Lion's explanation, Xu Taiping frowned even more.

"It's just that." The Red Lion Ghost King chuckled.

"I need to think about it for a moment." Xu Taiping did not reply immediately.

"Don't worry, Geshu Miu will wait until you leave Montenegro. Just give me an answer before then."

The Red Lion Ghost King sent a message to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping nodded calmly.

"Sir, is it the Red Lion Ghost King who is communicating with you?"

Just as Xu Taiping was thinking about whether the words of the Red Lion Ghost King were credible, Gu Qingcheng suddenly sent a message to him again.

"How did you tell?"

Xu Taiping walked to Gu Qingcheng calmly.

Gu Qingcheng's amazing observation and sensing abilities really surprised him.

"I know something about the Red Lion Ghost King. I know that he often seduces some masters and makes them come to the beast cage to kill each other."

Gu Qingcheng explained via voice transmission.

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping's confusion suddenly disappeared, and he immediately used the Qinglong Order to send a message to Gu Qingcheng:

"Miss Qingcheng, your guess is correct. The Ghost King Red Lion really wants to seduce me into a duel with a strong man from the ghost side. I'm afraid you are also very interested in this person."

"with who?"

While Gu Qingcheng and Yuzhu were checking Xu Taiping's injuries, he asked in a very curious voice.

"Brother Shu Miao, the great general of Guifang."

"Geshumiu?!"

As Xu Taiping expected, Gu Qingcheng's expression immediately changed after hearing the name.

"The Red Lion Ghost King told me that my brother Shu Miao is waiting outside the exit of Black Mountain. As long as I agree to fight with him in the beast cage, he will not only use his own power to help me, but also keep us safe."

Xu Taiping roughly relayed the conversation between the Red Lion Ghost King and himself to Gu Qingcheng.

At this moment, he really needs someone who understands the evil spirits in the ghost world to give him some advice.

"As long as the Red Lion Ghost King is willing to use his full strength, this beast cage can indeed seal part of that Geshu Miao's power, allowing you, sir, to fight with him."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Qingcheng spoke again.

"I also believe he can do it."

Xu Taiping turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yu, who was sitting cross-legged to heal his injuries, and then continued:

"But I'm afraid this is a conspiracy that he is conspiring with Geshumiao to capture us."

"Sir, your concerns are very reasonable, but you may not know that except for certain sacrificial occasions, people from the ghost side cannot communicate with these evil spirits."

"The reason why the Red Lion Ghost King is able to communicate with you is because you are the final winner of this trapped beast battle. It is your right to communicate directly with the Red Lion Ghost King."

"In addition, you also have the right to ask him to do one thing, which is also a reward for the winner."

Gu Qingcheng explained to Xu Taiping in a very serious tone.

After hearing Gu Qingcheng's explanation, Xu Taiping's confusion disappeared.

"So, in fact, I could have asked him directly to ensure that we leave the ghost side safely, right?"

Xu Taiping asked Gu Qingcheng feeling a little funny.

"Yes." Gu Qingcheng nodded, "On this point, he did lie to you."

"It turns out that a ghost can be so dishonest. I thought it was just a divine thought and some kind of law, just like the Yin God."

Xu Taiping shook his head.

"But Young Master, this is indeed a good opportunity for us. After all, we may never encounter the opportunity to seal part of this brother Shu Miao's cultivation in the future."

"Although I guessed it right, the one guarding us outside the exit should be just a clone of Geshu Miao."

"But if we can destroy one of his clones here, plus this black skull that contains part of his power, his actual strength will be greatly damaged."

"This way, Xuanyuan Xueluo's chances of surviving will be even greater."

Gu Qingcheng persuaded very tactfully.

"Miss Qingcheng, you said that seriously injuring this brother Shu Miao is the key to saving Xuanyuan Xueluo. Sometimes because you deduced it in advance, this brother Shu Miao will have a battle with Xuanyuan Xueluo in the future?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

"You may not believe it, sir."

After a slight hesitation, Gu Qingcheng suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a solemn expression and said:

"My elder brother and I once found a stone tablet on the first floor of the Xuanhuang Tower. The stone tablet recorded the entire thousand-year history of the Ningyuan Kingdom south of the Xuanhuang Tower."

"Originally during this period of history, Ningyuan Kingdom finally completely defeated the ghosts under the leadership of the Zhenbei Mansion army where Xuanyuan Xueluo was located, and won three hundred years of peace and prosperity for Ningyuan Kingdom."

"Those people who died in Xuanhuang Tower and were summoned to Xuanhuang Tower will spend three hundred years in peace."

"But then as my elder brother and I climbed up the Xuanhuang Tower one level at a time, we suddenly discovered that part of the history of the Ningyuan Kingdom on the stone tablet had been tampered with by people from Jiuyuan."

"They tried every means to kill the descendants of Zhenbei Mansion, so that the inheritance of Zhenbei Mansion that could withstand the ghost side was lost, causing Ningyuan Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops to be completely wiped out by the ghost side."

"Later, because the established history was tampered with, the time in Xuanhuang Tower was reversed, back to the beginning of the founding of Ningyuan State."

"Again and again."

At this point, Gu Qingcheng looked up and looked deeply at Xu Taiping, and then continued to transmit:

"As long as the descendants of Zhenbei Mansion are killed, this world in Xuanhuang Tower will continue to repeat the history of the past two hundred years."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping's heart was shocked.

"If the time in Xuanhuang Tower is reversed, what will happen to us foreigners?"

He then asked Gu Qingcheng.
