Mortal Bones

"How does it compare to the swordsmanship of my Qingxuan Sect?"

This question really stumped Xu Taiping.

The sword that Mu Yun gave him today was indeed very strong. If he really wanted to compare it, perhaps only the head of Qingxuan Sect, Zhao Qian, could compete with it.

But when it comes to sword power, Xu Taiping always feels that every peak master of the Qingxuan Sect's seven peaks seems to be no weaker than the sword Mu Yun just invited.

"And it seems that it is Qingxuan's sword, which is more interesting."

Xu Taiping muttered something in a low voice after thinking carefully.

"Taiping, Guangling Pavilion's sword is here to rescue you. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say that?"

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping with a bit of laughter.

When it comes to spiritual practice, Xu Taiping is instinctively serious.

"It's really not a good idea to say that."

After being reminded by Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping also realized that what he said was a little too unsophisticated. He immediately smiled, picked up the jade slip in his hand and said:

"This sword can only be matched by me, the head of Qingxuan Sect."

Soon, Mu Yun's voice came from the jade slip - "Uncle Lou has only been practicing swordsmanship for three years. If he hears this, he will definitely be very happy."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping's eyes lit up and he was very surprised and said:

"Uncle Lou has been so powerful after only three years of practicing swordsmanship?"

He didn't think Mu Yun was joking with him.

"I dare to ask this senior who drew the sword, how did I, the Heavenly Hero Du Liu clan, offend you, senior?"

At this moment, an old shouting voice suddenly came from the Liu Mansion, which was shrouded in sword light.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, an old man with silver hair and long beard was seen, holding a jade plate with both hands, slowly lifting the sword light from the Liu Mansion.

"It's Liu, the ancestor of the Liu family!"

"Ancestor of the Liu family has taken action!"

Seeing this scene, someone among the onlookers in the distance suddenly exclaimed.

"Sure enough, Mrs. Liu has some abilities. There is actually someone who can take the sword of Uncle Lou in Guangling Pavilion."

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

"boom!"

But just as he was thinking this, he saw the sword light coming from Guangling Pavilion, and his aura suddenly surged.

"boom!"

In just an instant, the jade plate in Liu's ancestor's hand exploded into pieces, and he himself was penetrated by the sword energy and fell straight to the ground.

But this time, the sword light did not fall again, but hovered over Liu Mansion.

"I dare to ask, senior, what exactly did I, the Heavenly Hero Du Liu, do wrong to make you want to do this?"

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the ancestor of the Liu family got up from the ground again and roared angrily towards the sword light.

"I, Lou 11, take action, why do we need a reason?"

In the sword light, an old man's voice full of majesty suddenly sounded.

Although this sound has no emotion, when it spreads, it is like a wave, hitting the surrounding audience heavily.

"Lou Shiyi...are you the elder Lou of Guangling Pavilion?!"

After hearing the name "Lou Shiyi", the angry look on the face of the ancestor of the Liu family suddenly disappeared.

The name Lou Shiyi is not known to everyone in Juemingtian, but every monk who knows this name respects him.

Because this Building 11 was one of the very few swordsmen who walked out of the battlefield of the demons alive during the last battle between the demons.

"Elder Lou, you can destroy my Liu family, but can you let me and the Liu family behind me die in a clearer way?"

The ancestor of the Liu family looked at the sword light above his head with a dejected expression.

In front of such a strong man, he knew that he had no room for resistance and could only wait for death.

"I don't have the time to destroy your Liu family. If you want to know the reason, you can check to see if your Liu family has bullied anyone recently."

After saying these words, the sword light that originally covered the entire Liu Mansion suddenly faded away like a tide.

"Zheng!"

As another sword sound exploded, the sword light hanging over Liu Mansion suddenly rose into the sky and disappeared.

Although the sword light disappeared and the pressure dissipated, the mountain that was weighing on Liu's ancestor's heart has not been lifted.

"A bunch of losers who fail to achieve anything but fail. Who is it that caused me such a big trouble outside? Get it quickly!"

Looking at the Liu Mansion that was almost in ruins, and recalling Lou Shiyi's previous words, the ancestor of the Liu family roared angrily.

This roar could be heard by almost half of the Tianxia Crossing.

The evil woman Tang Yueru standing at the door of the Liu Mansion Courtyard could naturally hear it.

"This Great Elder is... is... you invited him here?"

Tang Yueru looked at Xu Taiping standing in front of the hospital with a trembling voice.

"Would you know if I invited you here? You'll know if you invite me into your Liu Mansion to sit there?"

Xu Taiping ignored Tang Yueru and asked with a smile.

In front of such evil people, Xu Taiping didn't mind being more evil than them.

When Tang Yueru heard this, she collapsed to the ground with a dejected expression.

…

The next day.

The wing of the teahouse in Jufeng Building.

"It's really strange. Even though they made such a big noise, the group of people who ambushed the Three Emperors Dao Palace in the dark could still remain calm and not reveal any clues."

Xu Taiping murmured in his heart while drinking tea.

After he asked Mu Yun to take action yesterday, he found that the other party actually made such a big noise, so he asked Fairy Lingyue to sense it with her soul to see if she could find anyone suspicious.

But unexpectedly, nothing was found.

"Buzz buzz..."

Just when Xu Taiping was considering whether to spend another batch of gold coins to let the lotus pupil of his left eye deduce, the jade slip he placed on the table suddenly trembled.

"Why is Brother Mu Yun here again?"

When he saw the name and seal on the jade slip, Xu Taiping frowned.

From yesterday to now, Mu Yun has used this jade slip to send him messages no less than 20 times, and each time it was some trivial matters.

However, thinking that he still owed Mu Yun a favor, Xu Taiping finally injected a stream of true energy into the jade slip.

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

"Brother Xu, have you eaten? If not, why not come to my Guangling Pavilion, I will take you to eat the delicacies of my Guangling Pavilion."

"Or you wait at Tianxia Ferry, I will come to you."

After listening to Mu Yun's message in the jade slip, Xu Taiping was silent for a long time, and finally chose to throw the jade slip into the gourd.

"The young master of Guangling Pavilion is really enthusiastic towards you, Taiping."

Fairy Lingyue on the side laughed when she saw this.

"I guess he should be like Shen Li. Although some memories related to me were sealed by Emperor Xuanhuang, there are still some marks in his soul. It's just that Shen Li left a bad impression, while Mu Yun left a good part."

Xu Taiping didn't think that Mu Yun's kindness was unprovoked.

"That makes sense."

Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping deeply, and then nodded.

After this experience in Xuanhuang Tower, Lingyue now feels that Xu Taiping is much more mature than before.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

At this time, the door of the wing room was suddenly knocked.

"Master Wuyou, it's me, Lian'er."

Fang Lian'er's voice sounded outside the door.

The Master Wuyou she mentioned was the pseudonym of Xu Taiping after he came to Juemingtian.

"Please come in."

Xu Taiping, who had already sensed Fang Lian'er's aura, shouted at the door of the wing room.

After warning Tianxiadu Liu, Xu Taiping did not choose to leave Tianxiadu or hide in the dark, but took advantage of this identity to stay.

Because in his opinion, disappearing or leaving at this time is more likely to make the assassins who are ambushing in the dark suspicious.

"Sir, this is the tea my grandfather asked me to give you. Thank you for your help this time."

Fang Lian'er put an old pottery jar on the table next to Xu Taiping.

"Miss Lian'er, it's you who helped."

Xu Taiping smiled and pushed the jar of tea back.

"Sir Wuyou, this tea was brought back from the Dry Stone Sea by my grandfather when he was young. You can try it."

Fang Lian'er pouted and insisted that Xu Taiping accept the jar of tea.

When Xu Taiping heard that the tea came from the Dry Stone Sea, he dared not accept it.

However, just as he was pushing and tug-tug-tug with Fang Lian'er, his left hand with the lotus pupil mark accidentally touched Fang Lian'er's hand.

At that moment, the lotus pupil curse mark on his palm suddenly lit up, and a picture entered his mind-

In the chaotic Jufeng Teahouse, a cold voice kept echoing in the building: "Hide the cat, hide the cat, wait for me to count to ten and then I will come to find you. Whoever doesn't hide well, I will eat him."

Then, the voice began to count:

"One, two, three..."

In the sound of counting, Fang Lian'er began to hide here and there with a panicked look on her face, holding the money jar.

Finally, she hid under the table in a side room.

Fang Lian'er, who was hiding under the table, curled up and shivered, and clasped his hands together and prayed in a low voice: "Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you, don't find me, don't find me."

"Hey!..."

But at this moment, a bald head suddenly poked under the table, looked at Fang Lian'er and said: "I found you!"

After saying that, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Immediately, amid Fang Lian'er's screams, the monster that was neither human nor ghost stretched out its hand to Fang Lian'er.

And Xu Taiping saw very clearly through Fang Lian'er's perspective that the monster's hand had only four fingers.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Taiping said in horror:

"Four fingers... Aren't these the group of people who ambushed the disciples of the Three Emperors Dao Palace? They... They are not human, but demons?!"
