Mortal Bones

At almost the same time, the Great Sage Tianshou, holding a long stick, carried Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu and fell heavily to the ground from a height of tens of thousands of feet.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, a deep hole was smashed into the hard ground.

However, the Great Sage Tianshou, who was in the center of the pit, was unharmed.

Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu, who were lifted up on the long stick by him, did not even consume a single bit of their true energy.

The movement of the three people was completely drowned out by the explosion of the immortal boat. In addition, with the presence of the Heavenly Escape Talisman, the movement of the three people was even less likely to be noticed.

"call……"

At this time, Xu Taiping, whose feet had landed on the ground, let out a long sigh.

Mo Qingzhu on the side asked:

"Mr. Ding, what should we do next?"

But as soon as Mo Qingzhu opened his mouth, there was a loud "boom" and a figure wrapped in gray mist suddenly flew out over the heads of the three people.

By the time Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu reacted, the gray shadow had already flown to the direction where the immortal boat had exploded.

Immediately afterwards, in the astonished eyes of the two men, several figures wrapped in gray mist flew towards the direction where the immortal boat was shattered.

After a moment.

The sounds of breaking through the air gradually stopped.

Xu Taiping immediately looked at the Great Sage Tianshu with a serious expression and said:

"Mr. Ding, what just happened..."

Before Xu Taiping could finish, he saw the Great Sage Tianshu nodded and said:

"Yes, those should be filthy bone monsters."

Although he had already guessed it in his heart, the sight of the filthy skeletons circling around the wreckage of the immortal boat like a flock of birds still made Xu Taiping feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

The Great Sage Tianshu also frowned and said:

"In just this small area, there are more than twenty filthy skeletons! No wonder so many cultivators were trapped and died in Kaiyangtian after landing."

Xu Taiping took a deep breath and said:

"Mr. Ding, can I open that soul mark now?"

The Great Sage Tianshu looked around and his eyes fell on a ruined Taoist temple not far away. Then he nodded and said:

"Let's go to that Taoist temple first."

He added:

"With the courtyard wall as a cover, the effect of the Sky Escape Talisman can be better exerted."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly.

Mo Qingzhu nodded repeatedly.

The strange scenes around him and the filthy bones that were flying over his head from time to time made him feel a little confused and helpless.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the ground of the Taoist temple was also smashed into a deep pit by the Great Sage Tianshou.

But it was just the moment when the Great Sage Tianshu landed on the ground.

This Taoist temple disappeared directly in this world.

Obviously, this ruined Taoist temple was also covered up by the Tiandun Talisman.

Xu Taiping glanced at the main hall of the Taoist temple.

It was discovered that the ground of the hall was littered with human bones.

And on these corpses, traces of gnawing can be seen everywhere.

Mo Qingzhu's voice suddenly trembled:

"Look... it seems that all the cultivators in this world back then... all died at the hands of those filthy bones."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then his eyes fell on a stone pillar in the hall.

I saw that the stone pillar was covered with densely packed words.

At this time, Mo Qingzhu also discovered the stone pillar and immediately walked forward, reading as he looked at it:

"We are the surviving disciples of Kaiyang Tian Jiujie Sect. Until today...we...we have been besieged in this Taoist temple by this group of filthy bones for more than a hundred days."

"Now, all the spiritual stones and talismans in our hands have been used up. I am afraid we can't hold out for a few more days."

"Therefore, we have decided to leave this suicide note to inform future generations."

When I heard this.

Xu Taiping and Tianshou Dasheng have both walked to the side of the stone pillar.

After roughly reading the words on the stone pillar, Xu Taiping sighed softly and said:

"Old Ding, just as Venerable Xuan Lei said before, the entire Kaiyang Heaven has been occupied by the Filthy Bones hundreds of years ago."

The suicide note on the stone pillar describes the situation of this world being occupied by filthy bones.

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded.

Xu Taiping suddenly asked curiously:

"Mr. Ding, after so many years, has no one noticed the abnormality of Kaiyangtian?"

The Great Sage Tianshu frowned and said:

"The Ziwei Star Region is extremely large, with tens of thousands of stars. And Kaiyangtian is just the most ordinary one among them. In addition, thousands of years ago, the spiritual power of this land was completely exhausted, and it was completely reduced to a dead zone. Therefore, apart from some very weak sects, there are very few cultivators stationed here."

“If the entrance to Yao Chi Holy Land had not been discovered here, I’m afraid that even after a thousand years, no one would have noticed that this place was abnormal.”

Xu Taiping nodded slightly with a look of sudden realization.

Obviously, he greatly underestimated the enormity of the Ziwei Star Region.

At this time, Mo Qingzhu, who was still looking at the words on the stone pillar, suddenly pointed to the north side of the stone pillar and said:

"Fellow Daoist Taiping, Elder Ding, please come and take a look at these words."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping and the Great Sage Tianshou walked over quickly together.

Soon, the two of them saw that someone had scratched a line of words on the back of the stone pillar with his fingernails:

"Yao Chi Holy Land! He is in Yao Chi Holy Land!"

"Kill him! Killing him will end this disaster! And we can rest in peace!"

After reading this line of text, Xu Taiping and the Great Sage Tianshu looked at each other, then frowned and said:

"The Yao Chi Holy Land should have come to this world a hundred years later, right? Why did the disciples of the Jiujie Sect discover these a hundred years ago?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Tianshu walked around the stone pillar thoughtfully, then looked at Xu Taiping with a serious expression and said:

"If my guess is correct, the disciples in this temple did not die at the hands of the filthy bones, but died in a sacrifice."

Under Xu Taiping's astonished gaze, the Great Sage Tianshu pointed at the corpses around him and said:

"Look, although these bones have signs of being eaten, they are generally surrounding this stone pillar."

"Some even remain in the cross-legged position."

Xu Taiping glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Hunter's finger, and then his heart sank as he said:

"These bodies do look like they are sitting there, being eaten by the filthy bones."

Mo Qingzhu was puzzled at this time:

"But why do they want to sacrifice?"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was suddenly shocked and said with horror in his eyes:

"They are offering sacrifice this time to deduce a way to survive!"

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the stone pillar, looked at the words scratched with fingernails and said:

"And this line of handwriting is what they got from their deduction this time!"

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded gently and said:

"That's what I guessed too."

Xu Taiping looked around at the corpses around him, and finally his eyes fell on the corpse lying on the stone pillar. Then he said respectfully:

"It seems that the disciples of the Nine Tribulations Sect have not given up until the last moment and are still looking for a way to survive."

The Great Sage Tianshu looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face and said:

"Xu Taiping, we can now open the soul mark and see if it can correspond to the deduction on the stone pillar."

Xu Taiping nodded solemnly and said:

"Junior is here to take a look!"
