Mortal Bones

Liuxian Town, Taibai Street.

The originally lively streets suddenly became deserted after the Jian Kui meeting began.

At the entrance to the street, on the lush sycamore tree, a yellow sparrow was chirping and jumping up and down on the edge of its nest.

And in that nest, there were two turtle doves, one big and one small.

At this time, the oriole finally summoned up the courage, suddenly jumped from the branch, opened its claws and pounced towards the two turtle doves.

"Snapped!"

As a result, the oriole jumped up from the branch, and saw the little turtle dove in the nest, stretched its neck, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the oriole together with the skin and bones.

After swallowing the oriole, the little turtle dove opened its mouth as if hiccupping, and then uttered human words:

"It's finally clean."

After the little turtle dove opened his mouth, the big turtle dove followed up and said: "Whether you eat it or not, the woman next to Xu Taiping can be found here in the time it takes a cup of tea at most. No clues can be left behind."

The little turtle dove chuckled and said:

"Young Master is absolutely right."

The little turtle dove said again:

"If you hadn't been seriously injured, young master, with this power of dove occupying the magpie's nest, that woman would never be able to find you no matter how powerful she is."

The big turtle dove shook his head, and then a rare look of lingering fear flashed through his eyes and said:

"That woman is far more powerful than you can imagine. It's a fluke that I escaped this time."

The big turtle dove and the little turtle dove are Su Chan and the witch Suxue who hid in Liuxian Town after escaping from Fairy Lingyue.

Witch Suxue, who rarely saw Su Chan commenting on a person like this, immediately showed a trace of panic in her eyes and said:

"Then young master, what should we do next?"

Su Chan didn't answer, but took out a moon shadow stone from under her wings with her mouth.

Immediately, a phantom showing the sword-asking situation on the side of Tianzhu Peak emerged from the Moon Shadow Stone.

At this moment, after asking Jian Xu Taiping, Na Yu Dan said those words——

"I'm going to beat you monster and show your true colors!"

After hearing this, the witch Suxue was very surprised and said:

"Sir, what do you mean by Yu Dan's words? Could it be that Xu Taiping has also been planted with a demonic seed?"

Su Chan replied calmly:

"Judging from the situation when you and Xu Taiping fought that day, his combat power is beyond comparison with that of an ordinary monk in the Sky-Wang Realm."

"If he really wants to take action, the Wentian Realm monk may not be his opponent."

Witch Suxue was very surprised and said:

"He... is a cultivator in the God Refining Realm. How can he be so strong?"

Su Chan glanced at the witch Suxue and said coldly:

"Then tell me, who hurt you like this?"

The witch Suxue, awakened by Su Chan's words, suddenly recalled her tragic defeat at the hands of Xu Taiping that night, and immediately said with a hint of panic in her eyes:

"Looking back now, Xu Taiping's combat power is indeed strange. He is obviously a monk in the God Refining Realm, but the methods he masters are not even able to deal with the two Demon Emperors, Shitou and me."

Su Chan said coldly:

"Do you still think he is a monk in the realm of refining gods?"

Witch Suxue suddenly woke up and said:

"Sir, do you want to say that Xu Taiping has already broken through to the Watching Heaven Realm?"

But immediately, the witch Suxue shook her head again and said:

"But that's not right. The Bone-Breaking Curse in Xu Taiping's body should be unsolvable."

Su Chan sneered:

"There is no solution for human cultivation, but it does not mean that there is no solution for demonic cultivation."

As soon as she said this, the witch Suxue couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Sir, do you think so? Xu Taiping used my magic cultivator's method to break the seal of the Bone Crushing Curse?!"

Su Chan nodded and said:

"Although Xu Taiping's body may not have been directly planted with demonic seeds, it must have used some kind of demonic seed power that even we don't quite understand."

Witch Suxue said in surprise:

"The power of the demonic seed that even you, Master, don't understand?"

Su Chan said "hmm" and then continued:

"More than fifty years ago, I had a fight with Xu Taiping and the woman next to him. The location was at the ruins of Jinting Mansion on the Sea of ​​Dry Stones."

Witch Suxue's eyes lit up and she said:

"Jinting Mansion, isn't that the place where you, Master, sensed the aura of power that does not belong to the Jiuyuan Demon Seed?"

Before Su Chan could speak, the witch Suxue continued with excitement in her eyes:

"I see!"

"The more than 50 years since Xu Taiping disappeared in the Upper Pure Realm, he was secretly merging the power of the demonic seed that you had sensed, young master!"

Su Chan nodded, then looked at Xu Taiping in the shadow in front of him and said:

"Based on Xu Taiping's performance in the last sword question, I believe that people from the Jiufu, and even the upper echelons of the Shangqing cultivation world, must have discovered this."

"After all, the Jiufu has discovered the secrets of the Jinting Mansion in the Kushihai Sea for more than ten years."

"So next, as long as Xu Taiping is forced to continue to increase his combat power, he will reveal the true energy fluctuations that are impossible to appear in the body of a monk in the God Refining Realm."

"The Jiufu will definitely put a stop to this sword inquiry because of doubts about Xu Taiping's identity, regardless of whether Xu Taiping is possessed by a demon or not."

Hearing this, Suxue Witch on the side flashed an excited look in her eyes and said:

"At that time, the Confucianism deed signed by you and Xu Taiping, Master, will automatically become invalid, and we can leave Liuxian Town!"

"Leave?" Su Chan shook her head, "Why are you leaving?"

Suxue Witch asked puzzledly:

"Our plan has been discovered by Xu Taiping. There is no point in staying here."

Su Chan did not speak, but took out another piece of Moon Shadow Stone from under his wings, and then pecked the jade slip with his mouth.

Immediately, a shadow emerged from the Moon Shadow Stone.

In the shadow, drops of water were falling one after another, landing on a stone tablet with the words "stop the war" written on it.

A closer look revealed that the stone tablet was almost worn through by the water drops.

Then, a very weak voice came from the shadow——

"Su Chan, the disputes you provoked have already brought a lot of evil thoughts. But it is not enough, more evil thoughts are needed to turn the soul power full of evil thoughts into water droplets and penetrate this monument of stopping war."

"By then, no one can stop the will of the mother from descending on this world."

Su Chan replied very calmly:

"Don't worry, when the cultivators of Zhenwu Heaven find out in the next sword-asking competition that Xu Taiping, who they regard as a hero in their hearts, is just a chess piece of the mother, their faith will inevitably collapse."

"By then, you will have an inexhaustible supply of evil thoughts coming from the five directions of heaven and earth."

After saying this, the moon shadow stone and the shadow on it shattered together.

The witch Su Xue, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Su Chan in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice:

"Sir... I didn't... we saw it wrong, did we?"

"You really... really asked for the order to start the war?!"

Su Chan nodded and said:

"Almost."

Just as he said this, Yu Dan's sword-asking voice suddenly came out again from the shadow of the Sword Master in front of him——

"Qingxuan Sect Xu Taiping, do you dare to take the sword?"
