Mortal Bones

"Little guy, you noticed it, right?"

The sword slave asked instead without answering.

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he came to his senses and confirmed to Dao Nu with some curiosity:

"Senior, are you referring to the sudden changes in your sword intention and sword power during the last competition?"

"Yes." The sword slave nodded.

"Before the senior's sword energy became mysterious, the junior did notice the changes in your sword intention and sword power."

After receiving the sword slave's confirmation, Xu Taiping immediately responded.

"Just because you can sense the changes in my sword's intention and power, you are already qualified to ascend the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower."

The sword slave explained very seriously.

When talking to Xu Taiping, his face, which was originally as cold as ice, showed a rare softness.

"Senior Dao Slave, this is unfair!"

At this moment, the third prince, whose figure had turned into a shadow of his soul, suddenly took a step forward and confirmed to the sword slave with some dissatisfaction.

He would say this not because he was targeting Xu Taiping, but because he really felt that it was unfair for the sword slave to do this.

"unfair?"

The sword slave turned to look at the third prince Chu Yinan with his dull eyes, then smiled coldly and said:

"Are you worthy of saying these three words to me?"

"Senior, you..."

The third prince, Chu Yinan, seemed to want to refute, but before he could finish speaking, his phantom of Yuan Shen exploded with a "boom" and disappeared.

The next moment, the tower spirit's voice sounded in everyone's minds——

"Youyun Tiannan Chu Kingdom Chu Yi Di. Because he provoked the sword slave, he was immediately expelled from the Xuanhuang Tower and will not be allowed to enter the tower again for ten years."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chengyunye, who felt very unfair about Dao Nu's decision, suddenly fell silent.

…

"Why is this sword slave so domineering?"

Seeing that the third prince Chu Yinan was expelled from the Xuanhuang Tower and was not allowed to enter for ten years, the King of Chu in the Nanchu Palace suddenly became angry.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

The old war god Zhu Huai persuaded the king of Chu.

Qionghua Sword Immortal on the side pinched his chin thoughtfully and said:

"It seems that the rumors are correct. This sword slave is the towering stone arranged by Emperor Xuanhuang in Xuanhuang Tower. He has the right to expel any tower climber who in his opinion is detrimental to Xuanhuang Tower."

And just as he said this, the voice of the sword slave came from the Xuanhuang Tower again——

"If you can't even notice the changes in my sword intention, what qualifications do you have to test the sword with me?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the monks in front of the spiritual mirror, including King Chu, changed.

"Based on what Sword Slave means, is it possible that Xu Taiping really sensed the change in his sword intention just now?"

The old Martial God Zhu Huai looked at Xu Taiping in the spiritual mirror with an extremely serious expression.

Although Dao Nu had answered Xu Taiping once before, everyone at the time thought it was just a perfunctory statement made by Dao Nu to protect Xu Taiping.

At this moment, Dao Nu emphasized it again, which forced everyone to re-examine this sentence.

"impossible."

Immortal Qionghua shook his head, and then explained with a serious face:

"Although the sword slave's cultivation level is limited, the sword's intention and power are both above the sword immortal realm. Not to mention that Xu Taiping is not in the realm of refining gods. Even if he breaks through the realm of transformation, he may not be able to sense it."

Zhu Huai was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said:

"Shangxian Qionghua is right. Unless Xu Taiping's sword skills have reached the realm of sword immortals, it is impossible to sense the changes in the sword slave's aura."

"In that case, why does this sword slave want to protect Xu Taiping?"

After listening to the explanations of Zhu Huai and Qiong Hua, King Chu became even more confused.

"If my guess is correct, it should be Xu Taiping who got the qualification to secretly trade with this sword slave through the opportunity he got in Xuanhuang Tower."

Qionghua Shangxian touched his chin with his finger and said.

"So, what Xu Taiping said when he invited the monks from all over the world to enter the Xuanhuang Tower was just a joke to deceive the monks from all over the world to help him climb to the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower?"

King Chu's face now showed a sulky look.

The old Martial God Zhu Huai just frowned when he heard this.

"People die for wealth and birds die for food. From the beginning, I didn't think that Xu Taiping's determination to climb the tower was out of righteousness rather than personal gain."

The Immortal Qionghua said very firmly.

While several people were talking, the voice of Dao Slave came from the spiritual mirror again——

"Zhenwu Tianqing Xuanzong Xu Taiping, through the door behind me, you can continue to climb the tower."

"Also, except for you, the other Azure Dragon Armors in the building can meet you on the eleventh floor after you ascend to the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower."

"It's just that from the moment they climb the tower with you, they can only help you climb the tower and can no longer compete for the qualification to climb to the top."

When the three of them heard this, they all looked into the spiritual mirror.

In the eight-sided building inside the spiritual mirror, a door suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Dao Slave, and slowly opened under Dao Slave's push.

"well……"

Seeing this scene, King Chu let out a long sigh, then shook his head helplessly and said:

"It seems that the luck of the Golden Scale List helped him again this time."

In his opinion, Xu Taiping's ability to be recognized by the sword slaves was most likely due to the luck given to him by the Golden Scale List.

"Pap, tap, tap!..."

At this time, Xu Taiping, who was in the spiritual mirror, stepped out and slowly walked towards the door behind the sword slave.

But just when everyone thought that he would walk directly into the door this time and go to the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower, he had already reached the sword slave. He suddenly stopped and cupped his hands towards the sword slave and said:

"Senior Sword Slave, I appreciate your kindness, but I still want to try the sword with you, Senior Sword Slave. If you win, you will continue to climb the tower. If you fail, you will exit from the Xuanhuang Tower."

As soon as these words came out, all the monks in the audience in front of the spiritual mirror were in an uproar.

…

"This kid actually gave up the opportunity to climb the tower given to him by the sword slave in order to test the sword with the sword slave?!"

Three Emperors Palace.

The old palace master looked surprised at Xu Taiping's behavior at this moment.

The deputy palace master Yun Shiliu on the side also had a look of astonishment on his face.

Not only them, but the monks in Zhenwu Tian and the monks in Youyun Mansion were all very puzzled by Xu Taiping's behavior at this moment.

Only Fairy Lingyue in the Qiyue Xuan Stone Room saw that Xu Taiping finally gave up the opportunity to climb the tower given by the Sword Slave in order to test the sword with the Sword Slave, and her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with golden light.

"It's good Taiping, you didn't get carried away by the temptation to climb the tower."

"I know that compared to climbing the tower, being able to test the sword with this sword slave is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Looking at Xu Taiping in the spiritual mirror in front of her, Fairy Lingyue's eyes flashed with excitement.

Although before entering the tower, she had already reminded Xu Taiping that as a sword cultivator, being able to test the sword with the sword slave in the Xuanhuang Tower would be of great benefit to the improvement of his sword skills.

But Fairy Lingyue didn't know at the time that Xu Taiping was on the Bamiang Tower and faced the choice of not being able to test the sword with the sword slave if he directly climbed the tower, or possibly not being able to climb the tower if he tried the sword with the sword slave.

But fortunately, Xu Taiping finally made a decision that made Fairy Lingyue very satisfied.

"If you don't have the courage to test the sword with the sword slave, even if you climb to the eleventh floor, you won't be able to defeat the one guarding the exit of the eleventh floor!"

Fairy Lingyue, who already knew who was guarding the exit on the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower, murmured to herself with a solemn expression.
