Mortal Bones

"Zhao Mou has met Mr. Zhao."

After hearing the question from the owner of Yi Zhu Building, Zhao Mou quickly walked up to Xu Taiping and bowed respectfully.

The owner of Yi Zhu Tower waved his hand, indicating to him to explain the current situation first.

Zhao Mou nodded immediately and said:

"Sir, seniors, just a few days ago, the monsters that were originally sleeping in the barrier were awakened by a mysterious demon crow that appeared without warning."

The owner of Yizhu Hall immediately asked with a worried look:

"Did Qu Shuang make him fall asleep again?"

The reason why I ask this is because if the monster had not fallen asleep, this secret realm would never be what it is now.

Zhao Mou nodded and said:

"Senior Qu Shuang, who was responsible for guarding the inner barrier, in order to make the monster sleep again, he forcibly used the Broken Army Sword, entered the monster's territory, and killed the accompanying mysterious crow, and then made it sleep again."

Hearing these words, Yizhu Louzhu and others were shocked.

True Lord Yunhe was afraid that Xu Taiping and Evil Lord Qingtong would not understand, so he introduced them to them:

"That monster spends most of its time sleeping in the secret realm. Unless you step into its territory, or like what Zhao Mou said just now, a mysterious demon crow is born in its territory to wake it up."

Qingtong Xiejun suddenly asked out of curiosity:

"Is it possible that you have been fighting that sleeping monster all this time?"

Xu Taiping actually wanted to ask this question.

It's just that he was wary of Zhao Mou and didn't dare to speak.

Fortunately, Qingtong Xiejun helped him ask.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Yunhe nodded helplessly and said:

"Yes, this monster has never really awakened since it was discovered."

True Lord Yunhe smiled bitterly and continued:

"We have always been fighting against the power of the demonic seeds that overflowed in our sleep. The power of the demonic seeds that was transformed just now is one of them."

Qingtong Xiejun said in surprise:

"A sleeping monster has not been killed for so many years?"

The reason why he was surprised was naturally not that he felt that Lord Yunhe and others were not strong enough, but that he was surprised by the power of the monster.

Although they knew that Evil Lord Qingtong did not mean any harm in his words, the faces of True Lord Yunhe and Master Yizhu were still full of shame.

At this time, the owner of Yizhu Tower suddenly asked Zhao Mou again:

"How is Senior Qu Shuang doing now?"

Zhao Mou sighed and said:

"The Pojun Sword is too difficult to control, and Senior Qu Shuang is not a swordsman. After barely killing the mysterious demon crow, under the backlash of Pojun's murderous power, not only his soul suffered heavy injuries, but his physical body was also severely damaged. , separation of flesh and blood.”

"In order to...not to be controlled by the power of the demon species, Senior Qu chose to fight."

Everyone was silent after hearing this.

In fact, Yunhe, Zhenjun, and the owner of Yizhu Tower had already guessed this ending when they heard that Qu Shuang forced the Pojun Sword to move.

Zhao Mou said again at this time:

"That is, from that time on, the monster's sleepiness became lighter, and from time to time, the power of the monster seed overflowed from its sleep."

"In the past few days, Senior Zhuo Buming and I have used formation formations to repel several tides of demonic mist caused by the power of demonic seeds.

When he said this, he looked at the Master of Yi Zhu Tower and said:

"Sir, the power of the demonic seed you encountered just now should have overflowed from the barrier."

After being silent for a long time, the owner of Yizhu Tower suddenly glared at Zhao Mou, snorted coldly and said:

"Forcing Senior Qu Shuang to draw his sword, you are such a waste!"

Zhao Mou immediately lowered his head and said:

"That's what you taught me, sir."

True Lord Yunhe on the side immediately advised:

"Brother Yi Zhu, it's not Zhao Mou's fault for this. It's not like you and I have never encountered the mysterious crow appearing without any warning."

Elder Lou Da also spoke at this time:

"Brother Yi Zhu, which of the monks here doesn't care about life and death? Don't be too concerned about it."

After everyone's persuasion, the face of Yizhu Tower Master finally softened.

Xu Taiping, who was observing calmly from the side, saw a flash of sinister expression in Zhao Mou's eyes full of self-blame.

This Zhao Mou was well hidden.

Even Xu Taiping, if he had not seen the scene in the Lotus Eyes Curse Seal, would definitely not take it to heart even if he saw this change in his eyes.

Xu Taiping murmured in his heart:

"Now it seems that the situation foreseen by Lian Tong Curse Seal was correct. There must be something wrong with Zhao Mou."

"If there is really a problem with Zhao Mou, then there should also be a problem with what he just said about the situation at the barrier behind the Green Bamboo Sea."

"Those people who were guarding here before may be dead now."

Thinking like this, he glanced at everyone present, and then murmured in his heart:

"And judging from the attitude of True Lord Yunhe, Elder Lou and others towards Zhao Mou, they all trust him."

"Even the owner of Yi Zhu, although he seems to be very strict with him on the surface, he actually has no doubts about him."

"It's no wonder that with the strength of the owner of Yizhu Tower, and with True Lord Yunhe and Elder Lou beside him, Zhao Mou has been able to succeed in a sneak attack for a long time."

Thinking of this, a new question suddenly appeared in Xu Taiping's mind——

"Then what is Zhao Mou's motive?"

"Why among the group of people on the scene, why do you want to assassinate the owner of the Lost Pearl Tower, your master?"

Judging from the situation that Liantong foresees, Zhao Mou also looked very painful after killing the owner of Yi Zhu.

So if he was just killing for the sake of killing, he would definitely not choose his mentor directly.

Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this, Zhao Mou suddenly asked the owner of the Pearl Tower:

"Master, did you go to Yingtian Academy to ask for the holy object smoothly?"

The owner of the Pearl Tower nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Zhao Mou's face suddenly lit up, and then blurted out:

"In other words, Master, you borrowed the Spring and Autumn Pen from Yingtian Academy?"

The owner of the Pearl Tower nodded without comment.

Zhao Mou was overjoyed when he heard this:

"With this Spring and Autumn Pen, our chances of killing the monster this time can be increased by at least 30%!"

The True Lord Yunhe and the Great Elder of the Tower were also delighted.

Obviously, this Spring and Autumn Pen is an extremely powerful treasure.

However, when Xu Taiping heard the three words "Spring and Autumn Pen", the look that flashed in his eyes was not joy, but enlightenment.

Xu Taiping murmured in his heart:

"As expected, the reason why Zhao Mou attacked the owner of the Yizhu Tower was because of this Spring and Autumn Pen."

At this time, after a few words of greeting, Yunhe Zhenjun suddenly reminded him:

"Mr. Wuyou, we have to continue our journey."

As he said, he pointed to the green bamboo sea in front of him, and then continued:

"After passing through this green bamboo sea, there will be a teleportation array out of the secret realm, and we will send you back there."

Xu Taiping smiled and nodded:

"Okay, Senior Yunhe."

Then he rode the wind and hurried on his way, while Yunhe Zhenjun introduced him and casually exchanged a few words with Zhao Mou.

At the same time, he began to silently calculate in his heart how to deal with Zhao Mou's assassination next.

And at this moment, the voice of Qingtong Xiejun suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping's mind——

"Boy, you have been distracted all the way, did you find something?"
