Mortal Bones

"Young Master, you can't go to Liu Mansion!"

When Fang Lian'er heard Xu Taiping say that he was going to Liu Mansion, she was also stunned like the people around her, but she immediately reminded Xu Taiping.

"Young Master, you would have some concerns if you went to Liu's family in Fulong Lane, but if you go to Liu Mansion, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's den."

Seeing that Xu Taiping was unmoved, Fang Lian'er wiped the tears from her face and added a sentence with a very serious look.

"Cough... cough cough..."

At this time, Fang Lian'er's grandfather, the storyteller, slowly sat up from the ground.

"Young Master, I am still alive, don't argue with her again."

The old man also persuaded Xu Taiping weakly at this time.

Xu Taiping glanced at the old man, then at Fang Lian'er who was squatting down to support the old man, and then asked with a smile:

"Old man, I guess you have been to many places, right?"

"I... have been traveling around with my master since I was young, and I have indeed been to many places."

The storyteller nodded in confusion, he didn't know why Xu Taiping asked this.

As the effect of the bone-growing pill took effect, he was able to stand up with the support of his granddaughter.

"Then according to your experience, do you think they will give up in this situation?"

As Xu Taiping said this, he turned his head and looked at the mother and son of the Liu family.

At this time, Liu Cheng had returned to his carriage, and only the evil woman was still standing beside the carriage, looking at Xu Taiping with a smile.

She looked like she had taken Xu Taiping as "something in her bag".

As for this situation, the people around have long been accustomed to it, and many of them have even begun to gloat over it, secretly cursing Xu Taiping for not knowing how to advance or retreat, and Fang Lian'er for not knowing how to live or die and meddling in other people's affairs.

"The people of Tianxiadu are already numb."

The fairy Lingyue in the gourd said helplessly.

"Alas..."

At this moment, the old storyteller sighed, and then looked at Xu Taiping helplessly and said:

"Sir, it is us grandsons who have dragged you down."

The old man has been in the martial arts world for many years, and naturally he has seen that Xu Taiping originally had a countermeasure to deal with the Liu mother and son, and it was his granddaughter's unnecessary actions that put him in a passive position.

"Little guy, if you are really brave, then follow me. My Liu family is not a dangerous place. We will not do anything to you."

At this time, the evil woman Tang Yueru, who had already boarded the carriage, opened the curtain of the window, looked at Xu Taiping with a smile on her face and said:

"But if you are just bragging, I can tell you that no matter where you hide, someone will send you to me."

When she said this, the evil woman Tang Yueru paused, her face suddenly turned cold, and she looked at the old storyteller and his grandson, and then continued:

"And you."

In a no-man's land like Tianxiadu, the words of the Liu family of Tianxiadu may be more effective than the edict of the Jueming Mansion.

After warning Xu Taiping, the Liu family mother and son drove away without looking back, not worrying that Xu Taiping would escape.

"Old man, you wait in the teahouse, I will be back soon."

Xu Taiping first glanced at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and then looked at the old storyteller and his grandson.

Hearing the words "go and come back", the people around laughed.

In everyone's opinion, Xu Taiping would never come back.

Xu Taiping ignored the laughter around him. After bidding farewell to the storyteller and Fang Lian'er, he followed the carriage of the Liu Mansion and walked towards the Liu Mansion.

"Let's go, let's go and see the excitement together."

"This outsider really doesn't know how to live or die. The Liu family not only has many masters in the family, but also has the support of the first-class sect such as the Seven Stars Gate. How can a mere outsider cultivator fight against them?"

Some people who like to gossip followed him.

"Lian'er, help me go to the Liu Mansion with this young man. The head of the Liu family came to the teahouse to listen to grandpa's storytelling. Maybe... maybe he can..."

Looking at the crowd following Xu Taiping, the old storyteller frowned, then turned to look at his granddaughter Fang Lian'er and said.

At the end of his words, the old storyteller smiled helplessly.

Obviously, he knew that the head of the Liu family would not care about a little storyteller like him.

"Okay... okay."

Fang Lian'er hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

The reason for her hesitation was that although she wanted to help Xu Taiping, she didn't want her grandfather to be killed by the Liu family again because of her reckless behavior.

...

"I didn't expect you to dare to follow me."

At the gate of the Liu Mansion.

The mother and son of the Liu family, who had already got off the carriage, were standing at the gate of the courtyard, smiling at Xu Taiping who came alone.

Although there were many people who came to watch, they didn't want to be affected by Liu's means, so they stopped across the street from the gate of the courtyard.

"Little guy, leave your monkey, I will pretend that nothing happened, and you can go back to the teahouse to listen to stories and drink tea."

Tang Yueru pretended to be generous.

The reason why she said this was not because she still had a conscience, but just pretending in front of others. After getting the monkey, she would still find an opportunity to attack Xu Taiping in secret.

Over the years, at least 80 foreigners have died at her hands, and she is already familiar with the place.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Xu Taiping was just thinking about whether he should remind the evil woman in front of him and ask her if she knew Mu Yun, the young master of Guangling Pavilion, but he didn't want the sound transmission jade slip in his sleeve to tremble.

This jade slip was given by Huang Que. All registered cultivators in Shangqing Realm can communicate with him after knowing the jade slip spell.

"Mu Yun?"

After seeing Mu Yun's name and seal pattern displayed on the jade slip, Xu Taiping immediately injected a stream of true energy into the jade slip.

Immediately, Mu Yun's voice came out from the jade slip——

"Brother Xu, if you arrive at Liu's mansion, look up at the sky."

Although this nonsense made Xu Taiping feel very confused, he finally raised his head and looked at the sky.

Because Tianxiadu is located on the bank of a river, the sky is often blue and clear, and only from time to time there will be huge clouds floating over it.

And at this time, it happened that a huge cloud floated by, blocking the scorching sun little by little.

And in the eyes of the evil woman Tang Yueru, Xu Taiping was deliberately ignoring and provoking her.

"You ignorant stranger, do you really think I won't dare to take action just because someone is here?"

Tang Yueru was not angry, but felt that the stranger in front of her was too arrogant and stupid.

So she stopped talking nonsense, and immediately clapped her hands, and then ordered the Liu family's guards behind her without looking back:

"This foreign gentleman is a distinguished guest of my Liu Mansion, you should treat him well."

"Yes!"

More than a dozen guards responded in unison.

Immediately, they divided into two teams, and like tigers and wolves descending from the mountains, they surrounded Xu Taiping in front of the courtyard.

Just from the breath emanating from their bodies when they were running, it can be seen that these dozen guards are not ordinary warriors, but martial arts practitioners who have cultivated true essence and energy.

"But looking at the strength of these palace guards, the Tianxiadu Liu family is at least a second-rate sect in the cultivation world of Zhenwu Heaven. The strength of the cultivation world of Jueming Heaven is indeed much stronger than that of Zhenwu Heaven, just like the other heavens."

After sensing the strength of the two teams of palace guards that surrounded him, Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh.

He has been to Youyun Heaven and half of Xuanhuang Heaven, and he has felt more and more the gap between the cultivation world of Zhenwu Heaven and the cultivation world of the other four heavens.

"But then again, Brother Muyun, what exactly do you want me to see?"

Xu Taiping, who was still looking up at the sky, was a little puzzled.

At this time, in the sky, except for the giant cloud that was slowly moving, not even a flying bird could be seen.

"Swish!"

At this moment, the palace guards who had surrounded Xu Taiping drew their swords out of their sheaths at the instruction of Tang Yueru.

Seeing that there was still no movement in the sky, although Xu Taiping still looked up, his hand had already been placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Although he believed that Mu Yun was willing and able to help, there were always accidents.

"Shua!"

A Liu family guard found that Xu Taiping had his hand on the hilt of the knife, and immediately raised the long knife in his hand, condensed the knife aura on the blade, and then slashed at Xu Taiping.

"Shua!"

After sensing the murderous intention of the guard, Xu Taiping stretched out his long arm and drew his knife out of the sheath.

Although it is very likely that he will be recognized by some forces watching the battle in secret, it is better than dying here.

"Zheng!..."

Almost at the same time when Xu Taiping drew his knife out of the sheath, a sound of sword ringing, as if to tear the sky apart, suddenly exploded above the Liu family mansion.

Following it, a flash of sword light made the afternoon sky as bright as noon.

Seeing this scene, and at the same time feeling the magnificent sword intent coming from the sky, Xu Taiping's mouth corners slightly raised, and at the same time, with a "ding" sound, he retracted the knife in his hand and slightly turned his body.

"Shua!"

Just like that, the guard slashed at Xu Taiping with his long sword, almost touching the tip of Xu Taiping's nose, and the sword hit the bluestone on the ground with a "bang".

"Bang!..."

Just as the guard adjusted the blade and prepared to cut Xu Taiping in half from bottom to top, a waterfall-like sword light pierced through the huge cloud in the sky and fell straight to the Liu family's mansion.

At the same time, the thick sword light column exuded a pressure, sweeping across the entire Liu Mansion like a torrent.

"Bang!..."

The guard who was swinging his sword at Xu Taiping fell to his knees because he couldn't bear the terrifying pressure.

Not only this guard, but no one in the open space in front of the courtyard could stand under the sword pressure except Xu Taiping.

Even the evil woman Tang Yueru could only barely hold on.

"Bang, bang, bang!..."

Before Tang Yueru and the other members of the Liu family could figure out what was going on, the sword light that fell from the sky broke through the three layers of the Liu family's mansion barrier and finally fell into the lobby of the Liu family's huge mansion.

"Boom!——"

The next moment, with the lobby of the Liu family's mansion as the center, the surging sword energy destroyed all the surrounding houses like a torrent.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!..."

For a while, the piercing sound of breaking through the air rang out from the Liu family's mansion one after another.

Obviously, it was the Liu family's members running for their lives.

"This... what on earth is going on?"

In front of the gate at the entrance of the courtyard, which was only half left, the evil woman Tang Yueru looked at the Liu family behind her, which had become a ruin, with an unbelievable look on her face.

"Is... it you?!"

After a brief moment of daze, the evil woman Tang Yueru suddenly turned her head and looked at Xu Taiping, who was unharmed in front of the courtyard, with a look of resentment.

Facing Tang Yueru's resentful look, Xu Taiping simply ignored it and looked behind him at the ruined Liu Mansion, and said in surprise:

"What a powerful sword."

It was at this moment that the jade slip in his hand trembled again.

Xu Taiping looked down and saw that the person who sent the message was Mu Yun.

After injecting a stream of true energy, Mu Yun's voice came out from the jade slip - "Brother Xu, how does the sword of my Guangling Pavilion compare to your Qingxuan Sect?"
