Mortal Bones

Same day.

Jinting Dongtian.

Inside the Trapped Dragon Tower.

"Um?"

"Why no response?"

Xu Taiping stood in front of the door of the Gengzi Room on the second floor of Sleeping Dragon Tower and muttered to himself in confusion.

He had just rested in another room in the tower. As soon as he sensed the movement in this room, he rushed over.

But after arriving here, no matter how much he knocked on the door and asked, there was no response, which made him very puzzled.

"Maybe it's my imagination."

Xu Taiping shook his head helplessly.

It has been half a year since the last conversation with Wuji Immortal in front of this door.

In the past six months, Xu Taiping, in addition to consolidating his state of looking at the sky in the tower, also paid attention to the movements in the Gengzi Room on the second floor every day.

Because what is connected to this room is the dragon-slaying stele that the Wuji Immortal's clone took from the secret realm and sent to Zhenwutian.

As long as there is movement in this room, it means that the Dragon Slaying Monument has been delivered.

Xu Taiping still trusted the Wuji Immortal's strength.

But what made him a little helpless was that in the past six months, there had been no movement in this room.

So when he sensed movement in this room today, he immediately flew his sword to the door of the room.

"Bang, bang bang bang!..."

Just when Xu Taiping was wondering whether he was delusional because he wanted to hear the movement in the room, there was suddenly a violent knocking sound on the door in front of him.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:

"I heard that right!"

Immediately, I saw him pressing his hand on the door again.

While trying to push the door open, he shouted to the other side:

"Is there anyone over there?"

"Is it Senior Sister Linglong over there?"

But this time, there was still no response as before.

The difference is that the sound of "bang bang bang" banging on the door is still there.

Moreover, Xu Taiping's hand pressed against the door, and he could sense a faint breath through the door.

In this situation, there is at least one thing that Xu Taiping can confirm——

"The seal of the Dragon-Slaying Monument is indeed being opened."

At this moment, Fairy Lingyue's voice appeared in Xu Taiping's mind - "Taiping, is there any movement in the Geng-shaped room?"

Xu Taiping continued to try to push the door open and replied:

"Yes, Sister Lingyue, there is movement on the other side of the door. Someone should be trying to open the Dragon Slaying Monument."

Because Fairy Lingyue still couldn't leave Earth Fruit, Xu Taiping introduced the vision to Fairy Lingyue in detail.

Not long after, Fairy Lingyue’s voice came again——

"Taiping, this should be someone trying to inject true energy into the Dragon-Slaying Monument. At the moment, the amount of true energy absorbed by the Dragon-Slaying Monument is not enough, so you can't communicate with the other end."

Xu Taiping said with a sudden look on his face:

"In other words, as long as enough true energy is absorbed into the Dragon Slaying Monument, I can sense the situation on the other side of the Slaying Gate?"

Fairy Lingyue replied:

"That's right, you have now broken through to the Sky-Watching Realm and are the master of the Trapped Dragon Tower. You can sense the situation on the other side of the door without opening the door."

Fairy Lingyue immediately added:

"Of course, the premise is that the person on the other side of the door has injected enough true energy into the Dragon-Slaying Monument."

Xu Taiping nodded and said:

"I understand Sister Lingyue."

And at this moment, the door in front of him suddenly "bang" again.

Although after listening to Fairy Lingyue's words, he was no longer so anxious, but when the banging on the door in front of him kept ringing, he was still very curious about what happened on the other side of the door.

Especially, whether the person standing on the other side of the door is his senior sister Zhao Linglong.

If it is his senior sister Zhao Linglong, then what is her situation at the moment, and whether she has been contaminated by the bad luck of the Wuji Immortal's clone.

The Wuji Immortal had repeatedly emphasized before that the bad luck on his clone was so strong that even the Wuji Immortal did not dare to release him easily.

Just when Xu Taiping was thinking about this, he heard Fairy Lingyue suddenly transmit a message to him again:

"Taiping, I just carefully reviewed the memories of the Trapped Dragon Tower in my mind, and found that when faced with the current situation, the people in the tower are not unable to do anything."

Xu Taiping was delighted and said:

"Sister Lingyue, please tell me."

Fairy Lingyue immediately introduced to Xu Taiping:

"According to the description in the classic book of Huangting Dao Palace, after the monks refine the Trapped Dragon Tower, they can try to sense the aura of the nearby Dragon Slaying Monument."

"Especially when there is a Dragon-Slaying Monument being opened nearby."

"After you sense the aura of the Dragon-Slaying Monument, you can try to open the Dragon-Slaying Monument with the monk on the other side of the door."

"It's just that when using this sensing method, not only does the owner of the Trapped Dragon Tower have to consume a lot of divine energy, but when the sensed Dragon-Slaying Monument is attacked, his soul will also suffer heavy damage."

"So don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary."

When Xu Taiping heard this, he was a little surprised and said:

"It turns out that the Trapped Dragon Tower and the Dragon-Slaying Monument can sense each other."

Immediately afterwards, Fairy Lingyue informed Xu Taiping in detail about the secret of mutual induction between the Trapped Dragon Tower and the Dragon-Slaying Monument.

Xu Taiping immediately gave it a try.

As a result, I really felt the breath behind the door.

Because he had not fully integrated his mind into the Dragon Trapping Tower, he could only sense the presence of several powerful auras at the door, and the specific situation was not very clear.

After a brief thought, Xu Taiping suddenly murmured:

"Right now, we only need to confirm two things with the person at the door, and then we can decide whether to do this."

Fairy Lingyue asked curiously:

"Which two things?"

Xu Taiping replied:

"First, is the person behind the door Sister Linglong?"

"Second, is Sister Linglong in danger now?"

Fairy Lingyue continued to ask:

"How do you plan to confirm?"

After a brief thought, Xu Taiping suddenly tried to ask the other side of the door:

"If you can hear my voice, please knock on the Dragon Slaying Monument three times."

Not long after, amid the chaotic collisions, three clear rhythmic knocks suddenly sounded.

Xu Taiping, who originally did not hold much hope, was immediately delighted.

Fairy Lingyue outside the Dragon-trapped Tower was also very surprised after discovering Xu Taiping's approach and said, "Taiping, you can keep trying."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked the other side of the door:

"If you are my Senior Sister Linglong, you should still remember how much silver my second uncle planned to sell me to a wealthy family as a book boy, right?"

Xu Taiping immediately added:

"One knock represents ten taels."

Not long after, three crisp knocks came from the other side of the door again.

After hearing these three knocks, Xu Taiping felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

Besides him, only his second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong knew about this.

So he could conclude that the person behind the door must be Zhao Linglong.

Then, without hesitation, he directly pressed his hands on the door, and at the same time began to merge with the Dragon-trapped Tower with all his mind.

In an instant, the entire Dragon-trapped Tower was shining brightly, and runes were flying.

After discovering the abnormality of the Dragon Trapped Tower, Fairy Lingyue immediately sent a message to Xu Taiping:

"Taiping, you haven't confirmed whether Zhao Linglong is in danger?"

Xu Taiping shook his head and said with a firm look:

"No need, Sister Lingyue."
