Mortal Bones

"May I ask, Great Emperor, if you can be more clear? Although I am not afraid of being enemies with the monsters of the Nine Abyss, I don't want to make a decision without knowing anything about it."

Xu Taiping thought about it seriously, and then looked directly at Emperor Xuanhuang in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Although Emperor Xuanhuang put away his aura fluctuations and pressure at this moment, the power of being a superior person still makes people breathless.

So when Xu Taiping said this just now, he seemed calm and relaxed, but in fact he spent a lot of energy to resist this power.

"You don't believe in this emperor?"

Emperor Xuanhuang asked Xu Taiping in a playful tone.

"Junior is not unbelieving." Xu Taiping faced the invisible power emanating from Emperor Xuanhuang and shook his head seriously, "Junior just wants to live clearly and die more clearly."

Xu Taiping thought clearly.

If Emperor Xuanhuang wanted to exchange his death for peace in Xuanhuang Heaven, even if he didn't want to and even thought it was unfair, he couldn't refuse given his strength.

But at least, he had to say the words "I don't want" or "I want" from his own mouth.

"To live clearly, to die more clearly?"

Emperor Xuanhuang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed heartily and said:

"Okay, okay, okay, a good saying: live clearly and die more clearly!"

After saying that, his two-foot-tall figure looked down at Xu Taiping again and said:

"Xu Taiping, although I have ascended to immortality, I am different from that ungrateful and shameless monster. Since you have been kind to Xuanhuang Tian, ​​I must repay your kindness and will never harm you."

When he said this, Emperor Xuanhuang paused for a moment, looked up at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside the window, and the dense army of Jiuyuan monsters below the gap in the sea of ​​clouds, and then continued in a cold tone:

"But for now, I can only put aside the debt I owe you and resolve this disaster that endangers the entire Xuanhuangtian, and may even affect the entire Upper Pure Realm in the near future."

When he said this, Emperor Xuanhuang's whole body was filled with murderous aura.

As if the Xuanhuang Tower sensed the murderous intent in him, strong winds immediately flew up around the huge tower body, shattering all the sea of ​​clouds around it, making the army of Jiuyuan monsters below clearly appear in many places. In front of peace.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I was just too worried."

After clarifying Emperor Xuanhuang's intentions, Xu Taiping immediately apologized and then asked Emperor Xuanhuang again:

"If there is anything that this junior can do to help, please let me know."

Emperor Xuanhuang seemed to be making a decision and did not give an answer immediately.

It wasn't until he saw that the last hundred or so Golden Crows remaining outside the Xuanhuang Tower had lost more than ten in a matter of seconds under the attack of the Immortal Slayer Sword Formation, then he turned to look at Xu Taiping and said:

"Little guy, as a heavenly being in the upper realm, any time I take action, I will cause disaster until I am driven back to the upper realm."

"So if I want to continue taking action, I can only avoid the detection of this calamity, or someone can help me withstand the backlash of heaven after taking action."

"This emperor has already used this method to avoid calamity, but as long as I take action again, I will be discovered by the calamity thunder again, so this method is useless."

"So there is only one last option left. Come and help me withstand the backlash from heaven after I take action."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping lowered his head and fell into silence.

Although he had made some guesses, when he actually heard Emperor Xuanhuang say it himself, he still found it difficult to calm down.

Emperor Xuanhuang didn't urge him, he just watched quietly from the side.

After a long time, when more than ten Golden Crows outside the Xuanhuang Tower were killed by the Immortal Slayer Sword Formation, Xu Taiping raised his head again and looked at Emperor Xuanhuang.

"Emperor, what do you think is the chance that I will be able to withstand this backlash from heaven?"

Xu Taiping asked Emperor Xuanhuang seriously.

"Must die."

Emperor Xuanhuang replied without any hesitation.

"Great Emperor, you will not let this junior fall into a certain death situation."

Xu Taiping looked at Emperor Xuanhuang's eyes and spoke calmly, but very firmly.

Judging from the previous conversation, he believed that Emperor Xuanhuang must have already thought of a countermeasure.

"The power of insight is very keen."

Emperor Xuanhuang nodded with satisfaction, then folded his hands across his chest and explained to Xu Taiping in a very serious tone:

"If you use ordinary methods, even if this emperor suppresses your realm and takes action, you may not be able to withstand any backlash of heaven's luck."

"But if there was this book of life and death, the situation would be very different."

After saying that, he stretched out his left hand and gently turned his palm upward.

A dark scroll appeared out of thin air in the palm of Emperor Xuanhuang's hand.

At the same time, a simple carving knife appeared in his other hand.

"The Book of Life and Death? Isn't this a divine object in the Netherworld in ancient times that can control life and death in the world?"

Xu Taiping had heard of the "Book of Life and Death".

Rumor has it that for any name that appears on the Book of Life and Death, as long as the Lord of the Netherworld who is in charge of the Book of Life and Death scratches it lightly with a carving knife, the owner of that name will immediately die and his soul will fall into the Netherworld.

"Yes, it is the ancient treasure of the underworld, the book of life and death in the underworld that can directly control the life and death of others."

Emperor Xuanhuang nodded, then gently waved his sleeve, opened the black slip, spread it flat in front of him, and then explained to Xu Taiping very carefully:

“Similar to the Yellow Spring Boat, another treasure of the Netherworld, as long as the person’s name is ticked in the Book of Life and Death, no matter how powerful his cultivation is or what treasure he holds, his soul will be dragged into the Yellow Spring to be judged by the Netherworld Judge. The guilty will be sent to the Western Hell, and the innocent will be sent to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”
