Mortal Bones

Chapter 524: The Lost Pearl Tower, a trap within a trap

"The person who assassinated the owner of the Pearl Tower might have a more powerful trick up his sleeve since he could use the corpse of a Earth Disaster Demon as bait."

Xu Taiping murmured as he looked at the shadow cast by the spirit mirror in front of him.

He was not worried about how to make the people of the Pearl Tower believe him and believe that the Yellow Dog Demon was real.

After all, he was the one who smashed the head of the Yellow Dog Demon, so the corpse of the demon couldn't be more real.

What really worried him was the motive of the blond young man to forge the corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon.

If he just wanted to defraud money from the Pearl Tower, he could just sell the corpse of the demon in his hand to the Pearl Tower, and there was no need to use it to pretend to be the Yellow Dog Demon.

So the motive of this person could only be to get close to the owner of the Pearl Tower by offering a bounty for the corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon.

"Mr. Wuyou, although I believe you have no intention of harming our building owner, there is only one corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon, so at least one of you has a fake corpse.

"This concerns the safety of the building owner, please wait here for a while, and I will ask the building owner for instructions before making a decision."

Manager Yang explained to Xu Taiping in a very sincere tone.

When he said this, his expression was particularly alert. As long as Xu Taiping showed a little hostility, he might take action.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Xu Taiping nodded calmly.

Hearing this, Manager Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Manager Yang, I heard that someone brought a demon corpse that can also be unburned by the real fire like me. In this case, I have a suggestion. "

Just then, the voice of the blond young man suddenly sounded in the shadow cast by the spirit mirror.

Yang, the shopkeeper, who was about to leave Xu Taiping's room to ask the owner for instructions, suddenly stopped after hearing the words of the blond young man.

"I wonder what suggestions you have, Mr. Zhuang Mu?"

Yang, the shopkeeper, picked up the jade slip and sent a message to Zhuang Mu in another room.

Because Zhuang Mu's room could not see the situation in this room, he took this opportunity to observe Zhuang Mu and see if he could find any flaws in him.

Xu Taiping looked at Zhuang Mu on the other side of the spirit mirror with curiosity.

Xu Taiping, who had confirmed that the demon corpse in Zhuang Mu's hand was not the yellow dog demon, was very curious about what tricks he was going to play.

"The yellow dog demon is a demon of the earth disaster level. When I picked him up, I used the Heaven Grade True Fire Talisman to test it, and its body was still intact. "

"So as long as the Lost Pearl Tower uses the Heaven Grade True Fire Talisman to test it, we can know who is real and who is fake. "

Hearing this, the eyes of the shopkeeper Yang lit up, and he was obviously a little tempted.

Although the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman is expensive, it is not worth mentioning compared to the Yellow Dog Demon Corpse in the Dry Stone Sea.

What's more, in addition to distinguishing the authenticity of the two demon corpses, the Pearl Tower also wants to find the real murderer who assassinated the owner of the Pearl Tower.

And this is something that the Pearl Tower is willing to do even if it pays gold money.

"Taiping, this Zhuang Mu is very suspicious."

After hearing what Zhuang Mu said, Fairy Lingyue's expression suddenly turned cold, and she immediately sent a message to Xu Taiping.

"What's suspicious?"

Xu Taiping naturally knew that the "suspicious" in Fairy Lingyue's mouth did not refer to Zhuang Mu's motive for forging the Yellow Dog Demon Corpse.

"The body of a demon of the Earthly Disaster level can indeed resist the burning of the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman for a short time, but the premise is that the demon's body has not been eroded by the fighting spirit of the cultivator before death. "

Fairy Lingyue said to Xu Taiping in a serious tone.

"Only high-level demon cultivators in Jiuyuan or demon hunters who know demon cultivators very well can know about this matter."

She added.

It was the first time Xu Taiping heard such a statement. He was surprised at first, but immediately a chill came from his back.

"Sister Lingyue, are you trying to say that Zhuang Mu's proposal to use the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman to test the two demon bodies was not an unintentional act, but because he knew the cause of death of the real Yellow Dog Demon, he deliberately proposed it?"

Xu Taiping sent a serious voice message to Fairy Lingyue to confirm.

If his guess was correct, it meant that Zhuang Mu or the person behind him was very likely in the Jufeng Tower that day and had seen Xu Taiping killing the Yellow Dog Demon.

"Or, the person behind Zhuang Mu is Li Yezhu. "

"All he is doing now, it seems to be proving the authenticity to the Pearl Tower, it seems to be assassinating the owner of the Pearl Tower, but in fact it is confirming my identity."

"Or, the million gold coins reward for the Yellow Dog Demon Seed this time is itself a trap he set for me."

The more Xu Taiping thought about it, the more frightened he became.

If he hadn't discovered this in time, once Zhuang Mu confirmed his identity, he would most likely face the ambush prepared by Li Yezhu for him.

"Mr. Wuyou, I have just asked the owner of the building for instructions, and he promised that I can try Mr. Zhuang's method again. What do you think?"

After communicating with the owner of the Pearl Tower, Manager Yang suddenly looked at Xu Taiping.

"You can give it a try." Xu Taiping agreed with a relaxed look at first, and then changed the subject, "But before that, I have a better way to prove the authenticity of my Yellow Dog Demon Seed."

"Please teach me, Mr. Wuyou. "

The shopkeeper Yang looked at Xu Taiping with a vigilant look.

At this moment, one of Xu Taiping and Zhuang Mu must be here to assassinate the owner of the Pearl Tower, so he had to be vigilant.

"There is nothing to teach you." Xu Taiping shook his head. "If you want to confirm my identity and the authenticity of the yellow dog demon, just ask the owner of the Pearl Tower to confirm it with a disciple named Xiahou Qingyuan of the Three Emperors Dao Palace."

If the situation is not urgent, he does not want to bring up Xiahou Qingyuan.

As for whether he can contact Xiahou Qingyuan, Xu Taiping believes that with the ability of the owner of the Pearl Tower, it is impossible for him to fail to do this.

"Three Emperors Dao Palace...Xiahou Qingyuan?"

The shopkeeper Yang was surprised when he heard this.

Both the Three Emperors Dao Palace and Xiahou Qingyuan have a great reputation in the entire Juemingtian cultivation world.

"If you don't believe that I know Xiahou Qingyuan, you can check this piece of the Old Dragon Court pass."

Seeing the hesitation on the face of the shopkeeper Yang, Xu Taiping handed the pass given to him by Xiahou Qingyuan to the shopkeeper Yang.

Upon seeing the pass with the special mark of the Three Emperors Dao Palace, the eyes of the shopkeeper Yang immediately lit up, and then he nodded to Xu Taiping repeatedly:

"I will convey the message to the master of the building!"

Xu Taiping nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhuang Mu in the shadow cast by the spirit mirror again, and began to communicate with Fairy Lingyue to discuss countermeasures-

"Sister Lingyue, after confirming the identity of Zhuang Mu, the master of the Yizhu Building should be able to guess the true intentions of the group of demon cultivators."

"That might alert the enemy. If you don't catch all the demon cultivators ambushing in the city this time, you can't do anything in this old dragon court."

"What do you mean, Sister Lingyue?"

"Eat the flesh of a fairy peach born from the earth fruit, and let me borrow your body to help you once, and try to kill all the demon cultivators ambushing in the dark."

There are a total of five fairy peaches born from the earth fruit, and there are four left after excluding the one eaten in Youyuntian.

So Fairy Lingyue actually has four opportunities to borrow Xu Taiping's body to make a move.

It's just that I was in Zhenwu Heaven before, and most of the time I was wandering in the Xuanhuang Tower, so I never had a chance to use it.

"But Sister Lingyue, I have the Eight Emperors Soul Seal on me now. I'm afraid that even if I eat peach meat, I have to drink Cangxian wine, right?"

After listening to Fairy Lingyue's advice, he asked with some concern.
