Mortal Bones

As Bai Yu flew lower and lower, the bead became bigger and bigger in Xu Taiping's eyes. At the same time, through the somewhat transparent shell of the bead, the city and lights in the bead could be vaguely seen.

"Sir, it is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, this sea of ​​dry rocks was originally called Canghai. But I don't know what happened in the sea. All the water in the ocean disappeared overnight, leaving only the sea of ​​​​sea. Dry stone peaks, and huge clam beads scattered everywhere.”

"Call it the Lost Pearl of the Blue Sea."

"And after years of searching, later generations actually discovered thirty-six clam beads among the hundreds of clam beads that contained the secret realm of ancient ruins."

"Among them, the one where the Old Dragon Court is located is the most famous one among the thirty-six clam beads."

"Because this clam bead contains the ruins of Longting, which once ruled the Shangqing Realm in ancient times. Many martial arts training techniques of later generations were inherited here."

Just as Bai Yu was about to land on the ground and rush into the secret realm of the clam bead, Lu Bugong briefly told Xu Taiping the origin of the old dragon court.

"It turns out that the name Old Dragon Court has this origin."

After listening to Lu Bugong's story, Xu Taiping said with a sudden look on his face.

"boom!……"

At this moment, Bai Yu "plunged" into the huge clam bead.

The next moment, Xu Taiping's vision, which was originally dark, suddenly became clear.

A city built on the ruins of the huge Dragon Court appeared in his sight.

"Pap..."

Xu Taiping and Lu Bugong landed one after another on the ruins of a huge wall outside the city.

From the top of this broken wall, you can clearly see the entirety of the newly built city below——

"Broad streets, brightly lit markets, tall buildings with signature flags, and monks walking on the streets with extraordinary grace."

However, compared with the entire Old Dragon Court Secret Realm, the area of ​​this city only accounts for less than one percent of the Old Dragon Court.

And when Xu Taiping's eyes fell on those monks, even if it was just a casual glance, he would immediately be greeted by a very fierce soul exploration.

Xu Taiping, who had not drunk the Hidden Immortal Brew, had the illusion of being hit hard by someone's punch without any defense when he was swept by the soul.

"Sir, the monks in the Old Dragon Court are very vigilant. Don't look at him and others casually."

Lu Bugong, who also noticed the power of the soul exploration just now, immediately reminded Xu Taiping.

"Thank you."

Xu Taiping nodded and thanked him.

The vigilance of these monks in the Old Dragon Court was far beyond his imagination.

"There are no rules and regulations in the Dry Stone Sea. Even if you kill people in the street, there will be no people from the Immortal Palace to control you like other places. That's why these people are so wary. You must not reveal it to them at will. Out of hostility.”

Fairy Lingyue also reminded Xu Taiping and Bai Yu, who had returned to the gourd, to say "safe" at this time.

"According to what you said, boss, the streets of Old Longting should be in chaos. Why does it look so orderly now?"

Just as Xu Taiping and Lu Bugong, who was holding Tingyun, jumped off the broken wall together, Bai Yu in the gourd suddenly asked Fairy Lingyue curiously.

"Because everyone is unruly, everyone may be your mortal enemy. Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to expose their true strength and cultivation, so naturally they will not fight without scruples."

Fairy Lingyue explained.

In fact, even if Fairy Lingyue didn't say anything about this, Xu Taiping had already guessed it when he saw the orderly situation in the city.

"Everyone has a knife hidden in their arms. The sooner someone is exposed, the sooner he will die."

After landing on the ground in front of the city, Xu Taiping looked at the city gate in front and muttered to himself.

"hold head high!……"

At this moment, a dragon roar filled with anger came from behind Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping turned around and saw that the sky above the ruins behind him was suddenly covered with yellow sand, and a huge dragon head appeared in the sky among the yellow sand.

"Oops, it's the sandstorm dragon breath of the old dragon court. Once it is involved, it will be washed into ashes by the dragon breath in the sandstorm!"

Lu Bugong exclaimed after seeing clearly what was happening behind him.

Immediately, he picked up Lu Tingyun, raised his mace into the air, and urged Xu Taiping:

"Young Master, hurry into the city. Sometimes even the monks in the Heaven-Questing Realm cannot escape from this sandstorm and dragon breath!"

Xu Taiping nodded, poured a small sip of Hidden Immortal Brew into his mouth, and then used Dou Zhuan Xing to move through the air and fly away.

"boom!……"

Almost at the moment when Xu Taiping and Lu Bugong showed their permission to enter the city, the heavy door engraved with runes was slammed shut by the guards guarding the city.

At the moment before the city gate was closed, Xu Taiping even saw a monk who had just entered the old Dragon Court being caught in the sandstorm and finally turned into ashes under the dragon's breath.

"The reason why the ruins in the old Dragon Court have not been fully explored until now is because of the sandstorm dragon breath that may appear at any time."

"No one dares to leave the city and step into unexplored areas without complete preparation."

Lu BuGong looked at the closed city gate with lingering fear.

Xu Taiping nodded with lingering fear when he heard this.

"Dad, I...can we go see...meet my mother?"

At this moment, after Lu Tingyun glanced at the restaurant called Yue Chan Tower not far away, he suddenly pulled Lu Tingyun's arm timidly and begged.

Obviously, Lu Tingyun's mother, Lu Bugong's lost first wife, lived in Yue Chan Tower.

"Yun'er..."

Lu Bugong, who was full of shame, didn't know how to answer.

"Miss Tingyun, don't worry, there are still two days left before the time you agreed with that person. After I sell some of my belongings to the Yi Zhu Loudian, I will take you to see your mother."

Xu Taiping smiled and reached out to pat Lu Tingyun's shoulder.

"really?"

"really."

Lu Tingyun was overjoyed.

"Sir, do you have any way to save Jia Nei?"

Lu Bugong also looked surprised.

"I can't guarantee it, but I will try my best."

Xu Taiping glanced in the direction of Yuechan Tower and quietly transmitted the message to Lu Bugong.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lu BuGong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and conveyed his message to Xu Taiping to thank him.

Although Xu Taiping's revealed cultivation level was far less than his, but with the sword energy and thunder in his hand, he believed that what Xu Taiping had just said was definitely not a lie.

"Let's find a place to rest for the night. Tomorrow we will go to the Relic Pearl Tower to pawn off a few things."

At this time, Xu Taiping sent another message to Lu Bugong.

"yes."

Lu BuGong immediately picked up Lu Tingyun and stepped forward to guide Xu Taiping.

Seeing the familiar Lu Bugong walking on the street, Xu Taiping was once again grateful for his previous decision to recruit him. Having a helper who was familiar with the old Longting could really save him a lot of trouble.

"That's right, sir."

Lu Bugong, who was walking in front, suddenly turned his head to look back at Xu Taiping, and sent a message to him curiously:

"What are you planning to sell at the Relic Pearl Tower tomorrow?"

It seemed that he realized that it was a bit rude to ask Xu Taiping so rashly, so he added another explanation -

"Sir, I am very familiar with the pawnshops in the city. I know where and what items can be pawned for a good price."

Xu Taiping thought for a while, then nodded and sent a message to Lu Bugong:

"The corpse of an earth-scourge demon species."

There are still many places that will be used but not worked, and there is no need to hide some things.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bugong was startled at first, and then a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

…

The next day.

In front of Yi Zhu Tower.

"Lu Bugong? You want to see our landlord? Get away, get away, our landlord doesn't have time to see you, a loser who sells his wife and son!"

After announcing their intention to the guard at the door, Lu Bugong and Xu Taiping were kicked out by the guard at the door.
