Mortal Bones

The reason why she directly asked Mu Yun for news about Xu Taiping was because she had already communicated this matter with Mu Yun before coming to Qingxuan Sect.

When Mu Yun heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"As soon as I arrived in Liuxian Town, I visited the head of Qingxuan Sect and Xu Taiping's second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao, but both of them also had no clue about Brother Taiping's whereabouts."

With that said, Mu Yun poured a cup of tea for Dongfang Yuexu and Master Xuanzhi respectively, and then continued:

"After that, I went to Jiufu again and found Jiufu Huangque who had some friendship with Brother Taiping."

"Huiqiao said that Jiufu has never given up looking for Brother Taiping over the years, but after so many years of searching, there is still no news."

When he said this, Mu Yun raised his head, looked at Dugu Qingxiao and Master Xuanzhi with a very serious face and said:

"Brother Taiping, it's as if he disappeared from this world out of thin air. No trace can be found."

After hearing this, the worry in Dongfang Yueyu's eyes became more intense.

However, Monk Xuanzhi on the side smiled calmly and said:

"That at least shows that Brother Taiping is not in danger of his life at the moment. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a piece of cause and effect to disappear from this world out of thin air."

Mu Yun nodded when he heard this and said:

"Master Xuanzhi is right. If Brother Taiping is really killed, it will definitely show up in Tianji Master's hexagram."

After listening to what the two of them said, the worried look in Dongfang Yueyu's eyes softened.

But at this moment, only the sound of "dang" was heard, and the sound of a bell suddenly exploded.

Immediately afterwards, an old man's voice was heard, exploding in the sky above Mount Everest——

"My descendants, the elder of Tianzhu Peak in Mount Taiyue is asking for a sword today in the spring of the year. I am here to serve."

"Please, the Heavenly Sin Group's Sword-Questing Cultivator is seated. After half a stick of incense, the Sword Leader will select the first Sword-Questioning Cultivator."

As soon as these words came out, after a brief period of dead silence in the surrounding stands, the noisy and noisy voices of discussion sounded again.

But at the same time as the noise was heard, runes lit up one after another in front of the rooms in the stands.

Immediately, the noisy discussions around him began to be isolated outside the wing room by the brilliance of these runes.

Seeing that the monks in the stands around him were so excited about this sword question, Dongfang Yueyu couldn't help but ask Mu Yun:

"Brother Mu Yun, among the thirty monks who are asking for swordsmanship, is there some big shot?"

Mu Yun was elegant and raised the corners of his mouth slightly as he said:

"The Oriental girl came at the right time."

Under Dongfang Yueyu's increasingly doubtful gaze, Mu Yun did not give in and continued:

"Among this group of sword-asking cultivators, there is Amen, the Sword Immortal of Zhenwu Tian, ​​and Lin Qingnu, the second true body of Lin Qinggu, the leader of Taihao Sect."

I heard that among the monks who were asking for swords, there was Zhenwutian Amen. Dongfang Yueyu's eyes only lit up slightly, but after hearing that the second clone of the leader of Taihao Sect was also asking for swords. When he was in the middle of it, Dongfang Yueyu's eyes showed a look of shock.

Immediately I heard her murmuring:

"No wonder there are so many monks who came to watch the battle today."

…

The other side is in the stands.

After hearing Elder Zhou's words, Zhao Linglong turned around and looked at Xu Taiping and Zhao Linglong with some reluctance:

"Fairy Lingyue, junior brother, I have to go down."

She, like Amon's senior Lin Qingnu, was in this sword competition.

Fairy Lingyue smiled relaxedly and waved her hand at Zhao Linglong:

"Miss Linglong, your talent in sword cultivation is far inferior to your ability to summon gods."

Xu Taiping on the side echoed:

"Senior sister, in today's question of swordsmanship, you should show more of your strengths. Swordmaster will not necessarily use the sword to determine one's burdens."

The reason why Xu Taiping said this was because when he first left his body and wandered to the wilderness of Ten Thousand Buddhas, he happened to bump into Zhao Linglong and summoned a rare red-armored god general with the magic of summoning the gods.

With his cultivation in the God Refining Realm, inviting a red-armored divine general was enough to prove that senior sister Linglong was extremely talented in the art of summoning gods.

Zhao Linglong nodded seriously and said:

"I will!"

With that said, Zhao Linglong was about to open the door of the wing room, but just as she stretched her hand towards the door, she suddenly thought of a question.

So she stopped, turned around and looked at Xu Taiping, and asked seriously:

"Taiping, I have always wanted to ask you, what were you thinking when you were on the eleventh floor of the Xuanhuang Tower and crashed into the Tianmen with your body again and again?"

As if she felt that her question was not accurate enough, Zhao Linglong immediately changed her statement and asked Xu Taiping:

"In other words, what is it that supports my junior brother to keep crashing into the Heavenly Gate again and again, without fear of death?"

Xu Taiping was stunned.

It was really hard for him to imagine that his somewhat "heartless" little senior sister would ask him such a question one day.

Just when Xu Tianping was stunned, Fairy Lingyue's voice suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping's mind——

"You, my little senior sister Zhao Linglong, seem to have a somewhat unstable Taoist mind. You must answer this question carefully."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping's heart suddenly tightened.

So after thinking carefully, he finally answered: "Senior Sister Linglong, I was thinking of nothing else at the time. I just felt that the gate was blocking my way, stopping me from moving forward."

"If we don't knock it away, Miss Nanxing, Mr. Zhang, and Zhai Mo, who are traveling with me, will have to leave their hometown."

"The tens of thousands of people and cultivators in Xuanhuangtian will become livestock raised by monsters."

Hearing this, Zhao Linglong still looked confused and said:

"But all this has nothing to do with you, Taiping!"

"Even if Xuanhuangtian eventually becomes the territory of Jiuyuan, you can still practice in another world."

In her opinion, Xu Taiping's reason was not sufficient.

Xu Taiping nodded, and then continued:

"Sister Linglong, you are right, all this has nothing to do with me."

At this point, Xu Taiping paused, and then continued with a hint of sharpness in his eyes:

"This is not my wish!"

"My friend left his hometown and died tragically at the hands of Jiuyuan, which is not my wish."

"It is not my wish that hundreds of millions of people in Xuanhuangtian became blood food for monsters."

Zhao Linglong retorted:

"But if you don't want it, what can you do? That is the will of heaven, the power of heaven!"

"How can human power defeat heaven?"

Xu Taiping shook his head and said:

"Sister, human power may not be able to defeat heaven."

"But if you can't even say the three words 'I don't want', don't even dare to punch, don't even dare to knock on the door, you and I are no match for the pigs and sheep in the pen What's the difference? "

"Today, the people of Xuanhuangtian are suffering, and the Heavenly Gate makes me bow my head and accept my fate."

"I don't want to!"

"This is not just because I sympathize with the people of Xuanhuangtian, but I want to do it in the future, in Zhenwutian, in Qingxuan Sect, when you and Second Brother are suffering."

"When the Heavenly Dao makes me bow my head and let him accept his fate."

"I can also do it without bowing my head and accepting my fate!"

When he said this, Xu Taiping paused, then looked at Zhao Linglong with a smile and said:

"Sister Linglong, from the moment I decided to hit the Heavenly Gate, my Dao has been perfected."

"As for whether I can hit the Heavenly Gate, it doesn't matter anymore."

Zhao Linglong was stunned, and her eyes, which were originally a little confused, suddenly brightened up.

She stood there in a daze, muttering:

"Yes, whether destiny can be violated is not important, what is important is whether you dare to violate destiny."

"When you retreat from anything, it is meaningless to discuss whether it can be done."

At this point, Zhao Linglong respectfully bowed to Xu Taiping and said:

"Junior brother, I will teach you."

After saying this, Zhao Linglong turned around and left without looking back, and walked quickly to the stage.

It can be seen that Zhao Linglong's steps are much lighter than before.

"Hua La La..."

Almost at the same time when Zhao Linglong went downstairs, a commotion suddenly sounded on the stands around Jianping.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Taiping, who was somewhat surprised, heard a cultivator from Zhenwu Heaven shouting in the stands:

"Senior Amon, Senior Amon is really here!"

Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue looked down at the same time, and then saw a burly middle-aged man, carrying an invisible pressure, walking step by step towards the seat of the Sword-asking cultivators below the Sword Terrace.

Xu Taiping looked closely and found that this man was Amon.
