Mortal Bones

This afternoon.

The capital of Southern Chu.

Jieyun Inn.

"Sir, please wait a moment. We will inform you immediately."

The store clerk arranged for Xu Taiping to wait in a side room.

This inn has been completely booked by the Dongfang family, and outsiders are not allowed to enter on weekdays.

"Good work."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly.

He did not sit down, but walked to the bedside, took out the gentian wine and took a sip, while talking to Fairy Lingyue in his heart: "Sister Lingyue, during the time when you and I interrupted our conversation, Lian Tong After the three tribulations that allowed me to see the Eastern Moon Cocoon, I fell asleep."

"Regarding Qingxuan's catastrophe, it just made the picture I saw before become a little clearer."

"According to my senses, it's not that it doesn't want me to see more deductions about Qingxuan's disaster. It seems to be accumulating strength."

Not long after, Fairy Lingyue’s voice sounded in Xu Taiping’s ears——

"I also sense that your Lotus Eyes seem to be accumulating strength."

Xu Taiping's heart tightened slightly, and then he continued to ask secretly in his heart:

"Is it because Qingxuan's catastrophe is too serious and it takes time to deduce it?"

"Not necessarily. It could also be that it takes a lot of time because of the distance."

Fairy Lingyue replied.

These words made Xu Taiping feel a little more at ease.

"You just said that Lian Tong made the picture a little clearer. What did you mean?"

Fairy Lingyue asked.

"Every plant and tree in the picture is clearly visible. Judging from some flags hanging at the entrance of Longmen Hall, Qingxuan should have been preparing for the sect's celebration at that time."

"Will there be any celebrations during this season of Qingxuan? Maybe we can find some clues from this."

"I asked my junior sister-in-law, Qingxuan doesn't have any special celebrations except the Seven Peaks Selection and the Seven Peaks Competition, so there is only one thing worthy of making a big fuss about recently."

Xu Taiping glanced out the window before continuing:

"The ceremony for the enthronement of the head of the family."

"Your Golden Scale Club won the first prize. Qingxuan announced that he will organize the ceremony for the head of the throne. This makes sense, but I don't know the specific date." Fairy Lingyue said.

"About this matter, when I go to Youyun Mansion to select treasures tomorrow, I will find a way to ask Youyun Mansion to help communicate with Qingxuan."

Xu Taiping replied.

He had already thought about this on the way here.

"That's okay. Youyun Mansion must have a way to contact Zhenwutian. Let's find out the specific date of this catastrophe first, so that we can make arrangements early." Fairy Lingyue said.

Xu Taiping nodded secretly.

It was precisely because he understood this that he felt a little more relieved after seeing the scene of the Qingxuan Tribulation.

Because under normal circumstances, the head's enthronement ceremony takes at least three or four months from the beginning to the official start of the ceremony.

"By the way, I remember Dongfang Yuexu said in the jade slip yesterday that her Seven Tribulations Curse only has the sixth and seventh tribulations left. Why did Lian Tong let you see the third tribulation? Picture?"

Fairy Lingyue expressed the question that had been pressing in her heart.

"Because the fifth catastrophe of Dongfang Yue Cocoon has not passed at all. The real day of the catastrophe will be an hour later."

"The location is in the room where I will meet them later."

"The person who wants to murder her is an uncle named Dongfang Gulu who saved her in the previous calamity."

"This person's cultivation level is in the realm of refining gods, but there is a powerful monster in the demon refining pot, so we need to pay attention."

"The reason for the assassination is unknown"

"The method is a bit clumsy. He will first poison the tea, and then light the same poisonous sandalwood. The two poisons are combined into one, and it is difficult for even a strong person to detoxify."

"And this poison is colorless and odorless. Unless a large amount of true energy is used, there will be no reaction."

"In addition to this clan uncle, there are also three masters who are proficient in assassination and at the peak of god refining lurking in the dark, just in case."

While Xu Taiping tied the wine gourd around his waist again, he recounted to Fairy Lingyue the scenes that Lian Tong saw to him one by one in his mind.

"This Lian Tong, why did you deduce it so clearly this time?"

Fairy Lingyue was a little surprised.

"The last time I boasted about Haikou, I had to tell the people of the Dongfang family that I was 100% sure to help them overcome the disaster, so I should do my best this time."

Xu Taiping himself found it a bit funny.

"It seems that Lantong's intelligence has become higher. After I deal with that old ghost of Yiye Shu, I must have a talk with it."

Fairy Lingyue became alert at this time.

"Well, then we will have Sister Lao Lingyue."

Xu Taiping also felt that this was necessary.

"However, with the three masters at the peak of the God Refining Realm, plus the uncle from the Dongfang family who is half-stepping into the realm, it may be difficult for you to deal with them alone."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.

"So I just asked Xuanyuan to clone himself and wear a cloak to deal with the three assassins."

Xu Taiping raised his head and glanced at the door of the wing.

I saw that the door that was originally closed was now open.

"I'm also here to let Xuanyuan's clone play assassination."

Xu Taiping added with a smile.

"In that case, sister, I will just watch a good show with peace of mind today."

Fairy Lingyue chuckled.

Just at this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the door of the room.

"Mr. Xu, you are finally here!"

The visitor is none other than Dongfang Yue Cocoon.
