Mortal Bones

"The eleventh floor of the Xuanhuang Tower is actually where the ghost capital is located on the continent inside the tower."

"In the inscription on the wordless stele, after the ghosts were defeated, the people of the entire country were sacrificed to the ghosts and gods by the royal family, which eventually attracted a group of ghosts to enter. Even the legendary ghosts and gods came across the void. "

"These ghosts and gods refined the ordinary people of Guifang into an army of ghouls, and began to assemble with Guifang Capital as the center. In less than half a year, an army of nearly a million ghouls gathered around Guifang Capital."

"If we continue to let things go, there will be at least one million more zombies in another half a year. Who will still be their opponent?"

"In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Ningyuan Temple summoned three armies, Suzaku, Xuanwu and White Tiger, to besiege Guifang."

"Under the control of Zhenbei Mansion, these three armies attacked the city and captured the stronghold. They fought all the way to the ghost capital and prepared for a decisive battle with the remaining 600,000 ghoul army led by Geshumiao at Heduyuan in front of the capital."

"As long as the three armies can break through the protection of the ghoul army, enter the ghost capital, and interrupt the sacrifice, the ghoul army will be defeated without any attack."

On the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower, on a hill, Gu Qingcheng looked at the vast field of green grass in front of him, and introduced the Xuanhuang Tower to Xu Taiping, Dugu Qingxiao, Muyun, Xuanzhi and others beside him. A situation on the first floor.

In addition to Mu Yunxuanzhi and other monks who followed Xu Taiping, the figure of the sword slave was also prominently among them.

"The rooftop platform is probably the altar used by the ghost royal family to attract ghosts, right?"

Xu Taiping frowned and looked at Gu Qingcheng aside.

"It should be."

Gu Qingcheng nodded solemnly.

Even if they have sword slaves as protectors, when they have an army of 600,000 ghouls, they are no different from the mantis's arm acting as a chariot.

"So, whether we can successfully enter the city and find the rooftop platform depends on whether the three armies of Ningyuan Kingdom can defeat the army of corpses under Geshu Miao."

Xu Taiping frowned and looked towards the field ahead.

Although the three armies of Ningyuan Kingdom could not be seen, they could still faintly hear the beating of war drums carried by the wind.

"That's really all we can do now."

Gu Qingcheng nodded helplessly.

If possible, she doesn't want to put her own success or failure in the hands of others.

"By the way, Miss Qingcheng."

Xu Taiping suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned to Gu Qingcheng beside him and asked:

"Do you think the commander-in-chief of Zhenbei Mansion will be Xuanyuan Xueluo this time?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingcheng thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said:

"The wordless stele does not say who the commander-in-chief of Zhenbei Mansion is this time, but judging from the time described in the stele, we have at least crossed For ninety years.”

"Although Xuanyuan Xueluo has a cultivation level that far exceeds that of ordinary people, in the Xuanhuang Tower, no matter what your cultivation level is, your lifespan is only three years at most, which is more than 180 years old."

"So even if Xuanyuan Xueluo is still alive, she is already in her twilight years, and Ning Yuan's imperial court may not let her take charge."

"Ninety years have passed all of a sudden..." Xu Taiping felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Mr. Zhang and Gongshu Nanxing on the side also sighed lightly.

"Yes, the scene when I met Miss Xuanyuan that day is clearly still vivid in my mind."

Gongshu Nanxing said with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

It was hard for her to imagine what that lively little girl with all the problems of a young lady would look like when she gets older.

"I don't think that girl will take off her armor so easily before seeing Guifang's complete defeat."

Mr. Zhang suddenly said with a "hehe" smile.

"Mr. Zhang, how can you be so sure?"

Zhai Mo scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Because I am also an old man."

Zhang Lao grinned at Zhai Mo.

"ha?"

Hearing this, Zhai Mo's face became more confused.

Xu Taiping on the side felt his heart sink.

In his mind, he recalled for no reason what he saw in Mr. Zhang's mansion that day when he was wandering in Xuanhuangtian.

"In any case, we have reached this point. Even if all three armies of Ningyuan Kingdom are defeated, we still have to find a way to rush into the city, find the rooftop, and go to the 12th floor of Xuanhuang Tower."

Xu Taiping interrupted the conversation between Zhai Mo and Mr. Zhang, and looked at the front of the field again.

"The smell of blood is so strong. It seems that the battle on Hedu Plain has already begun."

At this time, the knife slave on the side suddenly blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hands, squinted his eyes and looked forward, and sniffed hard with his nose.

"What a group of good kids. They never gave in, whether before or after they were born."

When he said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and the long knife in the scabbard on his waist "hummed" like a ferocious beast that had been locked in a cage for a long time.

This murderous intention alone made all the Blue Dragon Armors, including Xu Taiping, feel chills running down their spines.

However, Mu Yun, Dongfang Yueyu, Zhang Moyan and others were not ordinary people. When they thought about fighting alongside such a being, their eyes began to sparkle with excitement.

"Senior Dao Slave, are you really capable of taking action?"

Compared to Mu Yun and others, Xu Taiping was much calmer.

"Since I am Xu Taiping's protector, I will naturally protect you. However, if anyone wants to harm your life, no matter whether they are human, divine or demonic, I can kill them with one sword."

"I acted in an upright and reasonable manner, and no one can care about it."

Dao Nu grinned at Xu Taiping, not hiding his excitement at all.
