Mortal Bones

Not only Yu Lan.

Liang Zhu, who was being held by Lin Buyu at this time, also had a black mist-like evil spirit on his body.

Xu Taiping, who had dealt with Jiu Yuan a lot, saw at a glance that this evil spirit was the transformation of demonic energy.

"Zizi..."

Without any hesitation, Xu Taiping condensed a thunder flame in his palm, and after letting the thunder flame cover his palm, he suddenly grabbed the evil spirit that was spreading from Liang Zhu.

"Zhi!..."

With a piercing strange cry, the evil spirit suddenly turned into a ghost face in Xu Taiping's palm.

Although this scene was very similar to what happened to Yu Lan, the ghost face held in Xu Taiping's hand was obviously weaker than the ghost face that flew out of Yu Lan.

"Zhizi!"

The ghost face struggled to escape, but the destructive power of the thunder flame in Xu Taiping's hand was too strong. The more it struggled, the faster it burned.

Seeing this, Lin Buyu, who was originally ready to take action, once again became calm.

Then, she spoke without any emotion:

"It seems that the previous rumors are true."

Xu Taiping looked at Lin Buyu with some curiosity and asked:

"What rumors?"

Although Xu Taiping also noticed something strange about Yu Lan and Liang Zhu before this experience, he was very confused about where this "strangeness" came from.

Lin Buyu glanced at Xu Taiping and explained:

"During the three years you were asleep, several demons disguised as Zhenwutian cultivators went up the mountain and tried to create chaos in the mountain."

"Although on the surface, each demon cultivator was repelled by us. But in fact, the demons sent by Jiuyuan are different from ordinary demons."

"They have special demon seeds from Jiuyuan in their hands."

"From the moment they went up the mountain, they spread these demon seeds all over Yunlu Mountain."

"Once the Qingxuan disciples in the mountain have problems with their mentality, these demon seeds will take advantage of the situation and erode the mentality of the Qingxuan disciples bit by bit."

"The older generation is okay, the most troublesome are these unstable younger generation disciples."

"They are very easy to be eroded by the demon seeds."

After listening to Lin Buyu's explanation, Xu Taiping's mind suddenly became clear.

He glanced at Liang Zhu, who was held in Lin Buyu's arms, and then at Song Yu, who had been sent to the bridge by Du Qianjiang not far away, and then said:

"So the master set up this trap because he discovered the problems with Yu Lan and Liang Zhu, so as to draw out the demon seeds in their bodies."

Lin Buyu nodded and said:

"When the soul and mind have not been completely eroded by the demon seeds, once the cultivator's heart of Taoism is stabilized again, or collapses, the demon seeds in his body will be forced out."

When he said this, Lin Buyu looked at the demon seeds that were turning into ashes in Xu Taiping's palm, and continued: "For the kind in your hand, we don't actually need to deal with it deliberately. As long as it is forced out of the cultivator's body, it will die by itself in the burning of sunlight within half a day."

Xu Taiping was a little curious, so he let go of his hand and let the ghost face fly away from his palm.

The result was just as Lin Buyu said. Before it flew a few feet away, the ghost face was burned to ashes by the sun.

Immediately, Xu Taiping looked at the demon seed forced out of Yu Lan.

The demon seed forced out of Yu Lan was obviously much stronger than the one on Lin Buyu. Even though it was pierced by the sword transformed by the Jueyun Sword, it did not immediately turn into ashes.

Lin Buyu then spoke calmly:

"The demon seed on Yu Lan is almost awakened. If it weren't for the fact that her Dao heart was crushed by Liang Zhu's sword just now, it would be impossible to force it out."

"At that time, we can only kill it."

Lin Buyu's words reminded Xu Taiping of the way Qingxuan Sect treated the demon disciples in the past. He couldn't help but sighed: "If it were in the past, I'm afraid Qingxuan Sect would kill the demon disciples without hesitation."

"Bang!"

At this moment, the demon seed pierced by the Jueyun Sword finally couldn't withstand the killing power of the Jueyun Sword. It exploded and was finally burned to ashes in the sunlight.

Seeing that the other demon was also killed, Xu Taiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zheng!..."

But just as Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu landed on the small boat again with the unconscious Liang Zhu in their arms, another sound of swords exploded between heaven and earth.

Immediately, dozens of golden beams fell from the dark sky.

And these golden beams, without exception, all shot towards Xu Taiping below.

"Boom!"

Along with the golden sunlight, there fell a sword full of destructive aura, and a sword aura that fell like a storm.

And the waves on the river from all directions.

After a moment of surprise, Xu Taiping reacted--

The one who drew the sword was Jueyun.

So Xu Taiping summoned the Rusty Lion Sword once again, held it across his chest, and then asked loudly:

"Senior Jueyun, are you planning to let me test your sword?"

Soon, the old and hoarse voice of the Jueyun Sword Spirit sounded-

"I was woken up by you today, and I have nothing else to do, so I had to use you to test my sword."

As he spoke, the terrifying sword power of the Jueyun Sword enveloped Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu like a sudden rain.

At this time, Lin Buyu, who had already put Liang Zhu down, also raised the long sword in his hand.

After hearing the words of the sword spirit of Jueyun Sword, she raised her hand wearing the jade bracelet of Tingfeng Tower and stretched it directly to Xu Taiping and said: "The old man wants to test the sword, so we will follow his wishes."

Seeing Lin Buyu's hand, Xu Taiping immediately recalled the scene when he asked the sword Su Chan that year, and immediately held Lin Buyu's hand with his hand wearing the jade bracelet of Tingfeng Tower.

And at the moment when the two hands were held together.

Lin Buyu's magnificent true essence and blood suddenly merged with Xu Taiping's own true essence and blood.

Just when Xu Taiping was surprised why this jade bracelet had such magical powers, he heard Lin Buyu explain:

"Over the years, I have deciphered a lot of the true uses of this jade bracelet from the letters of the owner of Tingfeng Tower."

"For example, it can merge the two cultivators wearing the jade bracelet into one."
